Philadelphia, July 17.?The Medi oal News of noxt Saturday will sav: "The progress of tho cholera during tho past week has beon such as to war rant tho belief that it will spread throughout Europo during tho noxt thirty days, and may reach our shore at any time. Its progress can only bo arrested by the most watchftil caro on the part or onr quarantine officers, for this disoaso has already roaohed our shores by ships. Sorupulous cloanli Uness on board tho Bhlps, isolation of all suspioious cases, tho absolute des truction of tho fomltos of those infect ed, and special care that tho water sup ply is. not contaminated (boiling it bo foro use if there is any sueploion of its being Impure) would add greatly to scouring healthiness of ships, whilo municipal cleanliness persistently and systematically oarrled out would leave no nidus for tlio disease to galu a foot hold, even should it reach our shoros."

It is bopod that the meeting wlllbe ftxlly attended. There Is every reason why our farmers and planters should make it a part of their agricultural faith to beoome members of tho State Agricultural and Tfnfl|Mm teal Society and attend all Its meetings, both ft>r social as well as material benefits. When looked at ftrom a coiu mou-soiiso point of view, the com para tivcjy small uumber of names oo oar roll Is a matter of woudorftil enrpriso. "Wo are an agricultural people. Our agricultural "statistics show that wo have in the State 392,000 pooplo 011 gaged iu all olasscs ofoceunatious. Of those 294,000 arc ougoged iu agriohl turo. Wo have 98,000 forms: 46,000 are cultivated by Aheir owners; 28,000 aro rented for fixed money rental 26,000 are routed for a share " of tho' pro ducts. Would it bo unreasonable to expect one o'tit of ovcry ten of the 46, 000 farmors who livo upon and oultl vato their own farms to be members of tho Stato -Bocioty ? Aud should not each and every ono of them belong to soino cOunty agricultural organization? Our roll has tho names of 260 odd mombors. Is this not a meagre show ing? When wo havo a pooplo four fifths of whom are ongaged in ouo oc cupation, can It bo anything loss than a sorlous mistako for them to fail to havo any organization, association or concort of action as to thoir social or busiuesa interests and advancement? You lind tho other ono-fifth thoroughly organized, with thoir uuious, clubs and assoiatlous, to which thev aro In a groat degreo Indebted for much of their progress and prosperity. The attendanco at our Stato Fair meetings, as for as numbers is coucornod, is all that ouo most sa'nguind frionds could wish, and yot at such a time of crowd and rush it is impossible to discuss many questions of vital interest and importance to tho farmors at largo. Tho State Society should bo of such number aud influonco as to bo able to disouss and settle definitely such issues as are of unquestionable use and im portance to Its business intorost and calling. Don't do as wo havo done for years?pass resolutions that the lion law must bo repealed and then return homo and voto for men wo know will vote just tho other way. I simply montion this as an example, but I roal ly aud truly hope never to hoar this subject montlonod in tho Society again, where it has boon so thoroughly- worn throadbaro. Bnt. there is tho educa tional question now so muoh agitated that could bo ventilated, as woll as many others of equal or less imphr tanco, which, after a lYoe dlscussfon by representative men from all parts of tho State, would onablo a decision to be reached as tho ono most sultablo to all sections and all classes, and ono which would havo much weight In shapiug tho futuro termination of theso oveuts. Tho farmer has no war to wage, no fight to mako against any person or class. It is truo that from time imme morial ho has entertained an idoa that ho was insomo mysterious way oppros od by ovory boing devoured by all kinds of corporations and monopolies; but tho truth is, he has no greator one-' my than himself. If whilst in one sonso ho lies supinely bv, fighting his gamo of his Imaginary fudependeuce, single-handed and alono, this ono-fifth by its groator Intelligence, its thorough organization!and its business tact shall mako the four-fifths tho "howers of wood kud tho drawors of water," who 1 say, has ho to blamo buthimsolf? Lot tho farmor orgauizo, seek to havo tho samo intelligence, tho samo capabilities in his businoss that other pooplo havo iu theirs, formulate his opinions and de cisions for the good and progress of his calling and ho will havo tho satisfaction of seeing himself and tho wholo coun try prospering, and there will bo no man to mako himsolf afraid. Thero is not tlmo or placo to spoak of tho many advantages that agricul tural associations havo boon to tho farming Interest lit all agos and coun tries. The agriculture of all Europo is ono of tho leading witnosgos of tho faot. A volume -might: filled with the prog rose of agricultural art and solence here at home during tho prosont century, and that, too, under tho stim ulation of theso vory organizations. South Carolina makes about 16 bnshoh of grain to oaoh inhabitant. Sho has six oounty agricultural socioties, with a -very limited niomborship. Illinois makes about 160 bushels of grain to oaoh Inhabitant and sho has 99 oounty agricultural soolotlos,oue of whloh has 1,679 members and sovoral others moro than a thousand. Tho history of theso sooletles Is that thoy havo been tho ohlof exponent In Introducing all tho improved seeds and Implements. Fur thor comparisons aro needless.
