EVENING STAR. eyTit THE NEXT Day. “LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Tue Usrreo States Aericonturat Soci- ery commenced its fifth annual session at the Smithsonian Institution, (apparatus room.) at 10 o’cloek, this morning. President Pierce was present, and occupied 2 seat upon the stand. Secretary Guthrie was also an interested spectator of the proceed- ings. Among others present we note Mr. Brown of the Patent Office; Mr. Frazer of the Somerset Whig, New Jersey, Secretary of the New Jersey State Agricultural Society; Geo. Hartshorn, the Cotswold sheep-breeder, of New Jersey; Mr Dyer of “The Homestead,” Hartford agricultural paper; H S. Oleott of the West Chester, New York, Farm School; Thos. Richardson, the extensive stock-breeder of West Farms, New York; Senator Crittenden of Kentucky; W. W. Corcoran, the banker: G. W. P. Custis, the “ farmer of Arlington ;”” Hon Hampbrey Marshall of Kentucky. The meeting was called to order by the President of the Society, Hon. Marshal P. Wilder, of Massachusetts, who, after express- ing the gratification it gave him to meet so many of the members, proceeded to read the resignation of the Secretary of the Society, William S. King On motion of B. B. French, Major Ben Per- jey Poore was appointed Secretary pro tem. Quite a buzz and stretching of necks took place as the handsome and rosy Major took his seat at the Secretary’s desk, all being onthe jut vive to get a look at the famous ‘‘wheel- arrow man ”’ Some minutes were occupied in registering names of new members and the payment of yearly dues. The President of the Society, Mr. Wilder, then proceeded to read his annual address. It was an able and eloquent production, giving a clear idee of the past and | sc operations of the Society. Some of its founders have gone to their rest, but the Association still lives; ea. it not only lives, but is suesessfally labor- ing to promote the object which was dear to the hearts of its founders. It has held four exhibitions, each eclipsing its predecessors, nsed in premiums and expenses more than eighty thousand dollars, while the sesemblages showed that the national pulse beat in unison with that of the agriculturists and that the public voice responded to their call. After reviewing the recent triumphant exhibition at Philadelphia. an endorsement is given to s recommendation of the committee en agricultural implements. and the Society is advised to institute a grand xateonal trial in the field. The United States of America have already outstripped the world in the discovery end application of scientific principles to me- chanical purposes, and awards made under ach circumstances, and by a aceiety repre senting so large 2 portion of the intelligence of the Unien, would poz igher value than those of the Koyal Agricultural Suciety of England. or any other similar association in the world One of the most important articles on exhi- bition at Philadelphia was the syrup of the new Chinese sugar cane, the introduction of whieb into the United States has excited more deep and general interest than any other agr:cultural product within the last quarter ot e century, and searcely less in importance then Indian corn. It is impoesible to predict the importance of this crop to American agri iturists. The past year it haa been saccess- Uy cultivated in the New England and estern States, as in Georgia and the extreme South, and presents the prospect to our far- mers of producing their sugar and molaszes as easily 2s they now do their corn and potatoes, and being one of the moe‘ profitable produc- tions of the soil It contains from 15 to 20 per cent. of saccharine matter, and will yield from 400 to 500 gallons per acre of syrup or mo- Yasses. it makes a very valuable food, and “produces several tons more of fodder per acre than Indian corn. When planted early and on rich Jands, in some of the States, it yields two crops in the season, and is equally good for cattle in a dry or green state; and the seed also, when ground, makes a valuable meal for the fattening of stock. Other valu- able varieties are alluded to, and the appoint- ment of a special committee is recommended to collect facts upon this new and valuable Tp. f interesting feature at the Philadel- phia exhibition was the collection of fruits and mative wines. Uf these latter there were more than fifty different samples, coming from va- rious States. The cultivation of the grape is becoming more and more extensive; every year ls new and valuable varieties to our list, and such as are adapted to particalar lo- entities or to general cultivation. Ohio has y‘aeyards to the amount of 4,000 acres; Mis- wou; * 1,000 acres; other States have leas quant.*ty, while Califorma bids fair to rival the vine Yards of Europe. 7 Afte: ‘ading to other topics as worthy : 5 ation, President Wilder mentioned te seca ‘ which had been reeeived from Various quarters ™ respect to the next annual exhibition, and re rsommended their reference 33 3 a fie theo, ina fran.” 80d straightforward manner, informed the s ~iety that by their favor he had ozeupied the President's chair since the organization.

Jous Mircwent upon Peace ano War IN Evrope —Mr. Mitchell's lecture was fully attended last night, and in the assemblage we noticed many of the leading members of Con ress; amongst others, the veteran Senator from Michigan, Mr Cass, whose entrance intu the room was the occasion for some hearty rounds of applause Mr. Mitchell, on his appearance, was also received with a demonstration of applause which for some moments prevented him from going on with his lecture. The striking per- sonal appearance of Mr. M_ was first the eub- jeet of note. With a face strikingly intellec- tual, a clagsica! profile, a handsome mouth and fine eyes, he seems formed to win the re- ards of men and women, especially the latter. fis manner of suasking, more particularly his gestures are not good, his main difficulty seeming to be the management of the hands attached to a pair of long thin arms. In powers of sarcasm we should say Mr. Mitchell hus few rivale, se he showed in the merciless manner in which he proceeded for an hour or more to dissect the doings, diplo- matic and otherwise, of their serene hig! , easez, the reigning power of the Uld World.
