THE ST. LOUIS CONFERENCE.

There Is a prospect that the st. Louis Con-
ference will prove to be an inglorious failure,
except as the occasion OF what In ordinary
par'ance is called "a big spree" The dlsin-
terestcd press OF the country donounce II as
sectional effort, and several Congressmen
have withdrawn their aoceptances Of the in
yitatlons extended TO them. Tho 81. Louis
papers continue to insist that II Is intended
ITO secure the harmonious development Of
the whole country" II this statement DO
true the attention Of visitors will be called to
the facilities for transportation afforded by
the great rivers Of the West, and the ncces-
atty Of slack water dams In tho Ohio, as well
us the removal Of distractions to naylga-
ton, and the building Of new leyees on
the Mississippi. No public minded man
can object TO the investigation by
our Congressmen Of such subjects Us these;
but we fear that the result will prove to be as
futile as the annual passage Of resolutions,
memorials, &c, by boards Of trade and other
similar organizations, which, session after
session, are buried in the hlos Of Congress.
II is strange that respectable newspapers
should allow themselves TO bo deluded by the
publication OF names Of candidates TO sue
coed Judge Orr at St. Petersburg. The Presi-
dent cannot have expressed any opinion on
the subject, and the several gentlemen named
arc probably wise enough tokeep quiet, under
the circumstances, even II they have au am
bltion for the appointment Judge Settle, oi
North Carolina, for instance, was mentioned as
an applicant at time when, at his home In
Greensboro, the news Of Judge oT's death
could not have reached him. But the reck-
less and newsless correspondents must have
somethipg with which to gull their gulllble
editors.

One Of our legal friends who knows
how it is himself, handed US the fnlIow>
ing article, and requested its publica-
ton in the BULLErIS:
"Then shall the kingdom of Satan be
likencd to a grain of tobacco seed, which,
though exceedingly small, being cast into
the ground, grew and became a great
plant and spread its leaves rank and
broad, 80 that vile worms found habi-
tation thereon. And it came to pass in
the course Of time that the sons of men
looked upon it and thought it beautiful
to behold, and much to be desired to
make lads look big aud manly. So they
put forth their hands and did chdw
thereof And some it made sick, nd
others to vomit most filthy. And it
further came to pass, that those who
chewed it became weak and unmanly,
and said, we are enslaved, and canROt
cease from chewing it. And the mouths
of all that were enslayed became foul;
ard they were seized with a violent spicN
ting and they did spit, even in ladies
parlors, and tbs house Of the 10 I'd Of
hosts. And the saints Of the Most High
were greatly plagued thereby. And IN
the course of time, it came also to pass
thas others snuffed il; and they were
taken suddenly with fits, and they did
sneeze with a great and mighty sneeEe,

The FARMER ORGANIzATIoN.-Ala large

rapidly gaining in numbers, and promises
20 be quite power in Hardemau. The
officers are: J b. Harris, president; P.
7. Jones, vice-president H. II. Polk,

hope that the association, in due course
Of time, will establish a series of annual
fairs and thus keep pace with our sister

the productions of Hardenan county
sh ould not be placed on exhibition and
inducements held out to improve them
each year. a spirit of rivalry and q de-
termination to excel in the productions
of the soil, in stock, cattle and the me-
chanical arts Is of too much importance
to be neglected, and needs no arguments
from US to prove it. Below we give the
constitution of the association, and ask
for it careful reading. As will be seen,
the association meets in Bolivar on the
FIRST Saturday in each month
