[SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO 1 il ?: KEW fi. j COLUMBIA, April 28.-The State Agricultural Convention met in Carolina Hall at ll o'clock this morning. About two hundred delegates were present, representing nearly all the conn ties in the State. On motion of Mr. Woodward, of Fairfield ' Hon. Wm. M. Lawton, of Charleston, was chosen temporary chairman. On taking the chair he said: Gentlemen-It is not required that the tem por ai y chairman should make any special ad dress to you. I will merely observe that the people of the State aro looking with profonnd interest to thc action of this Convention, lt is the first time, possibly, that the true repre eentative8 of the State of South Carolina bave been enabled to meet together to co?ter upon their vital and important interests, and I trust that our actions may be so governed that they will redound to the honor and interest of the people at larsre, and that great benefits will be the results of this meeting. On motion, Mr. James G. Gibbes, of Colum? bia, and Mr. T. W. Holloway, of Newberry, were chosen secretaries. The districts were then called regularly, and the delegates advanced and gave tbeir names to the secretaries. On motion of General Gary, of Edge oe ld, a committee of one from each judicial diPtrict was appointed to nominate permanent officers of the State Agricultural Society, to consist of a president, four vice-presidents, a treasurer and secretary. On motion of Hon. J. P. Reed, the represent atives of the Farmers'Association of Pendleton District were added to the names of members ol the Convention. On motion of Col. J. P. Thomas, of Bichland, the presidents of tho county societies, not del? egates, were invited to take seats and paitici pate in the deliberations of tho Convention. The following committee oa nominations for permanent officers were appointed: General Gary, of Edgeficld, chairman; Blake, of Abbe? ville; Hill, of Anderson; Clempson, of Pendle- j j ton; H8good, of Barnwell; Pope, of Beaufort; W. A. Clark, of Charleston; Williamson, of Darlington; Woodward, of Fairfield; Foster, | j of Georgetown; Porcher, ot Oconce; Hoke, of Pickens; Wallace, of RichLnd; Bice, of Union; - McLure, of Chester; and Barksdalo, of Lau? rens. The committee retired, and on tbeir return reported the following nominations: For Presi? dan t-General Johnson Hagood, of Farawell. For vice-President3-A. M. Foster, of George? town; Wm. M. Lawton, of Charleston; Wm. Wallace, of Bichland; and Major T. W. Wood? ward, of Fairfield. For Treasurer-Robert J. Gage, of Union. For Secretary-D. Wyatt Aiken, of Abbeville. On motion of J. P. Re ed, the report was adopted and a committee appointed to conduct the president to the chair. President Hagood was received with great applause, and ?aid : Gentlemen of the Convention-I can say with? out affectation that the position io which i~ find myself is very unexpected. I mu?t beg the indulgence of the gentlemen who compose this, association, both now and hereafter,' da? ringmy term of office, for the manner in which ! snail discharge its duties. Even in the com? mon-place matter of presiding over the delibe? rations of the con ven tum, yon will find me very much unacquainted with the roles of legislative Eroceedings. I am sure a better man could have een obtained, and I expressed that sincere hope when the question waa. broached in the committee. The committee thought other? wise, and I have submitted to their decision and approach this office with much hesitation, because I believe ic, from the bottom of my soul, to be the "most important convention that has met. in South Carolina, in all her history. South Carolina was never before in the condi? tion she finds herself in at the present period, with her material interests entirely prostrated and her taxpayers ostracised from influence and authority. It depends upon them, in whom our whole interests centre, in whose hands the whole interests ot tho State cather, to protect themselves ; and they can onlv do this by an association. We are assembled here to perfect such an association. The matters that will come before us oro of great importance, and I feel they will be approached with earn? estness, discussed with patience, and the ob? jects of the Convention carried out with deci sion and vigor. I would susrgest, gentlemen, that in inaugurating this enterprise nf ours we open our basiness session by invoking the Divine blessing on our efforts. Rev. Dr. Buist, of Greenville, then opened the proceedings with prayer. On morion of Mr. Thomas, of Richland, it was resolved that the voting in the Convention shall be by counties, according to the repre sentation in the popular branch of the Legisla? ture. On motion of Mr. Wallace, of Richland, tho ruloaof the House of Representativos, as they existed in 186G, ware adopted for the govern? ment ot the Convention.

Colonel D. Wyatt Aiken offered the following: Resoiced, That this Convention do resolve itself into a permanent mechanical and indus? trial society, and that a committee of five be appointed to draft a constitution and by-laws for 6.4d society. After some discussion, the following, offered as a substitute by Mr. Eoinest, was referred to tho Committee on Resolutions, Colonel Aiken's resolution being withdrawn: Resolved, Thal the original Agricultural So? ciety of South Carolina bo revived, with its constitution and by-laws, and that the officers first elected be the officers of the society. The Convention, after hearing Colonel Pal? mer on tho subject of manufactures, took a recess. AFTERNOON SESSION. Gen. Gary, from Committee on Resolutions, submitted a report, recommending first, that the Convention orgaoize itself into an associa? tion, to be called " Tbo Agricultural and Me? chanical Society cf South Carolina;" second, that the officers elected by the moeting be the officers of the society until otherwise ordered ; and third, that a committee be raised to draft a constitution and by-laws to govern this society.

Mr. Lawton offered a resolution relative to the publication of au agricultural magazine, wbi th was adopted. The Convention then adjourned to meet at ? o'clock to-morrow morning. EUROPE.

WASHINGTON, April 28.-The government is in possession of information to the effect that the prospects for the cause of the insurgents tu Cuba are not at all flattering, lt appears that their agents hera and in New York have admitted that unless they obtain a recognition or material aid from our government they will be unable to hold ont beyond sixty days. It is understood that the administration is not dis? posed to interfere with affairs in the island, beyond the protection of American citizens and their interests. The English and French ministers fully understand tho condition of affairs in Cuba and the attitude of our govern? ment, and have advised their respective gov? ernments accordingly. It is reported from Havana that tho revolu? tionary Governor of bagua Villa has boen cap? tured. The Spanish vessel Union had captured two or three suspicious vessels off Vuelta Abaja _ WASHINGTON ITEMS. WASHINGTON, April 28.-The Secretary of (Var has ordered a resumption of recreating. Secretary Borie, of the Navy, and Secretary Raw.ins, of War, and President Grant consulted ?o-day; the o. ject unknown.

Since tho 4th of March, one hundred and linoteen assessors and ono hundred and wenty-two collectors of customs have b. en ap winted. The Secretary of the Interior asserts tLat lix months'abandonment of a homestead Kr? eits it. Horace Gieotey declines the Pacific Railroad 2omm?3sionersbip tendered bim by Grant. The Herald's correspsndeut says he has au ;bority for saying that General Loo will soon risit President Grant. SPARES FROM THE WIRES.

EE02I TUE NATION AZ CAEITAZ. The Aggressive Policy of the Adminis? tration-Tue Drift of Events-Acquisi? tion of Cuba Means War with France, England and Spain-A Naval Collision Apprehended-Li oohing Forward to the Irish Vote-The Porter-Borle De. partment-Senator Spragae and His Opponent?-Plucky Talk. Thc well informed Washington correspon? dent of the Baltimore Gazette writes to that paper under date of tho 25rh instant : It has been several timas intimated in this correspondence that the main feature of the political policy of the present administration would be an acquisition of the adjacent terri? tory, without limit and regardless of the con? sequences, lt was predicted that the absorp? tion of British North America would finally be attempted to be made the basis of the settlement of all our difficulties with Eng? land, and that the immediate annexa? tion of Cuba would be souerht to be brought about by direct and indirect aid to the insur? rectionists in that island. Becent intelligence from Paris and London, by cable, indicates that the Governments of France and England have been heretofore botter informed as to the drift of events on this side of the Atlantio than the mass of the American pcoplo, or than even those whose political positions and great finan? cial interests would seem to havo placed them in the way of obtaining a clue to the real pur? poses of Gcueral Giant and his particular ad? visers, which are now, however, no secret any? where. The country need be in no further doubt upon another"anU very important point, name? ly : that we cannot acquirs either the "New Dominion" or the "Queen of the Antilles," without a brush of considerable magnitude with Great Britain, Franco and Spain. Besides, pretty definite information to this effect, made known to the public generally through Euro? pean dispatcher, I have specific facts enabling mo to say that our government is not only aware of the threatened belligerent attitude of these powers, ia the event of a persistence in the proposed policy of this government, but has taken action by certain naval orders, which is meaningless under any hypothesis than other apprehensions of not very remote na? val collision! "Let the war come! What can these Powers do with the United States? What damage can they inflict? They might possibly force us to use the sponge free? ly, even to the" extent of wiping out our present indebteduess. They might destroy our com? merce. Would not thia bo a posit ve natural advantage? Do we export anything to any appreciable amount except Donds and gold ? Do we import aoytbing but luxuries, which may be very well dispensed with ? And, in the meantime, what would become ot the com? merce of those truculent monarchies, uow 'hanging on the verge' of dissolution from intestino commotions ? At any rate the Re? publican party will secure thc IrisfiVoto, which will be worth at least a tew hundred millions of dollars in 1872." Such is the argument of the friends of the administration. A spirited Democratic cotemporary of this morning takes a somewhat different view of .'the situation." It says : rte? "After tho lapse o**four years of peace, dur? ing which they have utterly failed in their pre? tended efforts at reconstruction, they see that they bave oi-ly Irolandizod tho South. And what do they do to throw dust into thc eyes of our overtaxed people ? Tlioy furiously demand the payment of ibo 'Alabama claim's.' They ure even ready to go to war and seize the Can? adas for collateral security. They propose to annex Cuba, in order to assist the Republican cause in Spain and obtain some more Radical negro votes." . . Tho Navy Department, from tho foregoing and ether causee, baa boon of late a point uf intense interest. I understand the repp jnsi- ; bility is duly appreciated by its bead, or heads, ( which ever you please.) It is rumored that Admiral Porter is docidedly of opinion that ; ever her size, and is by no moans disposed to dischargo the duties of a mere- "officer of the deck." It is further said the venerable Bone threatens resignation. I do not credit the lat? ter report. If Genera! Grant could only renew his decisiou that no mau should occupy two distinct positions under the governmout at the same time, Borie might resign and the Admiral might bo assigned to the quarter deck of the Navy Department in sole command. It could not be expected that he would be willing to throw up bis rank in the naval service and thereby go ahead ot Stewart in self-sacriflco I Grant cann it do without him. Ho must there? fore remain with some nominal Socrctary and with whom could ho "get along so well' as with tho present amiable head of the depart? ment ? For similar reasons I am inclined to doubt the rumored appointment of General Sic ?iles to tho Spanish mission, the "General" was recently "retired" upon full pay for life. Will ho give this up for an ephemeral embassy that may not, and probably w ll not, last six mouths? And the President's determinations, we all know, are as inexorable and lasting as the laws of the Medea and Persians I The little game cock of Rhode leland is doing a wooden ul business in ihe way of "cat? ting the combs" of his antagonists. " .1 not, however, commence personalities. "Brown and Ives." now BO famous, might forever have remained in blissful obscurity if this man Fri? day, the President pro tem. of the Senate, had not overstepped the proprieties of newspaper discussion. I am glad lo learn, from a modern Lewis Jeukinf>. who haa recently "interviewed" with the hvelviittle senator, that no two-pen Dy quarrel with "Brown and Ives," or with the whole 'caboodle" ot his Rhode Island enemies, set him upon his present course. This Jenkins reports Mr. S pi ague to have said : "I have no fondness for a long Ufe, and I hove no particular ties to bind mo here, but I intend to live long enough to got my plan through, or, at least, understood before the people. It is right, it ia certain to prevail. I had no vanity in proposing it. 1 have studied it out, and have como to it alone, but I tried to have others than I propose it. I talked it Ovor lo members of Congress. I saturated committees with it. I tried to influence all the Caoinet with it. I strove to get it through the head of the President, but ho is a gono caso, and the politicians own bim. What did I en? counter? Argument? Answer? No. but per? sonal abuses and ridicule, and a family war upon iav business. Then I retorted, and show? ed that I put Anthony himself into the Senate; that 1 paid the requisite tixea of $10,000 which wero necessary to elect Burnside governor. Ho Btands to-day on my pocket-book." Anthony is a managing fellow, indeed. He thus seems to have reached the Senate through the breeches pocbetof Mr. Sprague, and reach cl the chair of tbat august body by defaming his benefactor. The avowal of Senator Bpraguo tbnt be bad "no fond icss for a long life" has reference to the public threats of the Dragado cia Abbott. The following plucky talk is fully sufficient to paralyze the very gizzard of the North Carolina carpet-bageer : "I intend to be diverted by no personal quarrel ?rom bringing my plan before the country. After that is done, 1 will fight the whole caboodle of them, singly or alone, just as they irish. 1 do not believe that any man thinks I am p. coward. I have been under tho, and have boen wounded Ido not think my c 'uro.ge admits question or needs vindication; therefore I shall not attempt to get engaged in a street brawl; but I do not intend to avoid my daily walk*, and if I am attackod, I shall cer? tainly defend myself. Ido netthink I could rest a moment with a hostile- hand on my shoo] .er. and tho niau who assails me anil publisher lits intention to do it, when he un? dertakes it, does so at the peril of his life." I learn that many of the uominees of thc President, whose cases wcro not reached, or laid upon tho tab'e, by tho Senate, will bo com? missioned. -Tho editor of tho Co!umbu3 (Ga.)

In most sections the number of hands employed itt fully one third below that of 1868, und although fertilizers are moro freely used than lost ye ir it is anticipated that the crop will be decidedly snallor thau for eeveral years past. -For the second time recently tho ladies of tho "Sorosis" Club, in New ?ork, gave a din? ger, or. as it was styled, a tea, on Satur., ay, at Delmonico, to somo fifty or sixty gentlemen moro or Uss connected with thc press.

It is said that he had beon ongaged in recent heavy speculations in New Yoik Central stock which proved disastrous. -A letter from Rome states that the pres? ents in monoy seri? to the Pope, from his owo States and abroad, in honor of tho late fete, are estimated at 5,000,000 francs. During the re? ception seven military bands executed logeth er, under the windows of.the Vatican, a hymn composed for tbe occasion by III.

He also circumcised bis boy ind named him Grant. .

It is eaid that be bas paid off a mortgage ot forty-eight thousand dollars, and now owns a controlling interest in the paper. -Rumors of Cabinet changes are again cur? rent. It is now said not only that Secretary Fish will soon retire to private life, but that Secretary Borie and Attorney-General Hoar have informed the President that they would like at an early day to withdraw from the Cabi? net. From the present aspect of affairs, it seems safe to say that probably within thirty days there will be changes in three of the Cabi? net offices. -Queen Isabella, on Sunday (the 11th) at the races, was walking up and down in thc crowd, accompanied by ber family, when thc Emperor, who had just arrived, on socio ? the group, at ones went down and accosted, her Majesty, and offering his arm, conducted) her to the Importal Tribune, when Don Francis d'Assises, tbe Prince of the Asturias,_wiqhibo Count and Countess de Girgenti, wero fflfe; pro? vided with places. -Tho banquet recently given to Charles Dickens by tho Liverpool people docs not ap? pear to have been tho most amicable and bar tnouiuuo ffBihoring ovar held in tho world.

Whereupon Mr. Dickens asked bim what "amazing devil" possessed him to make such a cbarRC. and he procoeded to draw a parallel between .'Richard Monckton Mimes" and Lord Veriaopht. Another speaker complained that while the press was toasted, the drama was not. Still another improved the occasion to strike off ou a political speech. He was, however, cried down, and Dickens was obliged to rise to bis feet and deliver a humorous speech on women, before "brotherly love" and a convivial feeling were restored. -A Parliamentary return has been publish? ed of the names and sentences of the Fenian convicts "not proposed to be released," and showing what portion of their sentences is un? expired.

A correspondence took place at Washington on Monday between Senator Abott, of North Carolina, and Senator Spragne, of Rhode Island, which settles thc whole difficulty grow? ing out of "words spoken ba debate," in which Mr. Spragne used the word3 "puppy-dog," and which has boen talked of as likely to give rise to a duel or other bloody collision. The first letter was written by Senator Abott, act? ing under the advice of bis colleague, Senator Pool, Senator Siinanerond others. The whole bas quite a Pickwickian aspect and result. Thc correspondence is as follows : ME. ABBOTT TO ME. 6PRAO?E. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 26, 1869. Hon. William Sprague : SIB-On the 2d instant, in the United States Senate, you uttered the following language : "Mr. President : lb answer to the tirade of the Senator from Nevada and the Senator from North Carolina, I ?tm reminded cf a little illus? tration. In my travels from the centre here into tbe rural districts, through the woods and farms of the surrounding neighborhood, chance at ouc time brjught mc to a ft rm house. I found, on lool'.lne; up, a large mastiff und a mongrel poppy dog. Xhe little dog moved on me ri th rapidity from behind, bit at my heels, and frightened at bis temerity ran bowling away, followed by bi-largor companion. Tho Senate will observe that the mongrel, whining puppy, encouraged by the mastiff, aud em? boldened to attack from the shadow of his backer, ron rapidly away alarmed athis temeri? ty, while the overgrown cur followed after, both ears lopped and tail between bis legs, to a a place of safety beside his menaced com? panion. Thia language bas been understood as meant in part to be applied to me. I am not aware that I gave any occasion in my remarks for you to wish to be offensive or insulting in reply. I therefore deem it proper to ask that you state distinctly whether you intended to apply any of the above offensive language to myself. I am, sir, very respectfully, JOSEPH C. ABBOTT. MS.

April 24_TIMOTHY HURLEY. ~ tsW COMMON SENSE RULES THE MASS of the pcoplo, whatever the misnamed and misan? thropie philosophers may say to the contrary. Show them a good thing, let ile merits be clearly demon? strated, and they will not hesitate to give lt their mest cordial patronage. The masses have already ratified the Judgment of a physician concerning the virtues of HOSTETTER'S BI rTERS, as may be seen in the immense quantities of this medicine that are annually auld in every section of the land. It ls now recognized as greatly superior to all other remedies yet devised for diseases of tho digesUve organs, roch as diarrhoea, dys ntery, dyspepsia, and for tbe va? rious fevers that arise from dbrangemant of those portion B of the system. Hosteller's name is rapidly becoming a household word, from Maine to Texas, from the sheree of tho Atlantic to tho Pacifie. These celebrated STOMACH BITTERS have doubtless cre? ated as much Sensation in the community for their remarkable cures as any other medicine extant It is a fact that in tue minda of many persons a preju? dice exists against what are called patent medicines; but why should thia prevent you resorting to an ar? ticle that baa such an array of testimony to support it asHO?TETTCR'S STOMACH BITTERS. Physicians prtjcrtbe lt; why thoa ld you dleciud ll? Jadgea, usual? ly considered men of talent, have and do use it in their lanai! icu; why should you reject it? Let not yoar prejudice usurp your reason, to the tverlastiog in? jury of your health. It is the only preparation of tho kind that is reliable in all cases, and it is there? fore worthy of the consideration of the afflicted. Thc BITTERS are pleasant to tho taste, agreeable in their effects, and altogether valuable as a tonic or remedy for indigestion. April 24_nae_0 S3-T0 CONSUMPTIVES.-THE ADVER?
