For one of the first objects of the Na. li nal Agricultural Society should be to con- | aiect with it a "National Agricultural School." | Not suf h a " National School" as is tte I only one we now have, which has. with too i " I much truth, been caneu "a nurerrj ui ?nowv i ,raey"?whore the humble eon of a farmer is j ^rarely admitted, what, is he taught?

Such will not. be the only one, in a few short y-ars. if you will lend your energies to ; form a national society, whose motto will be, i "to elevate the character and standing of the ! cultivators of the American soil." For w hen once organized, you will soort show a united force of many thousand, whose voice will he heard in the halls of Congress, demanding our hirihright* Be assured wo shall be heard.

As soon as the National Agricultural Society is formed, let us ask Congress to appropriate the "Smithsonian fund" of half a inil ion of dollars to establish a National School. If I we unite as we should do, our "torrent" will be too strong for time serving politicians to resist. I look'upon he National Agricultural School as the greatest blessing to flow from the National Society. But the Journal of the Society will also prove of immense advantage: It will embody a vast amount of matter, useful ; and interesting to every cultivator in the ! Union, The most carefully prepared ta- j Mes of the protections of the earth, from every section of the Union, will be kept constantly before the reader totally ditfer. eut from those vehicles of deception, and J often fraud upon the farmer, called " prices current." It is by the quantity produced, and the probable demand therefore, that we can understand whether it is for our interest to sell our crops now, or store tnem up.

It cannot he expected in this short address. that 1 should point out ail the good j thai would flow from the action of the j projiosed society. But if we are convio. ted that the effect would conduce to the interest and happiness <>f the great mass ut agriculturists of the Union, let u.*< act and with spirit too. I And now, my friends, one and all, do j you approve of the plan of organization ? | Speak out boldly if you do not object, the leading friends of the measure will fix ] upon a day for the first meeting, and , proceed in the manner proposed. .... . ..ii 1 here has neen an argument raisea against organizing such a society at pre- \ sent, " because the public mind has not been sufficiently instructed, and docs not sufficiently appreciate the advantages of such an association to render it successful." How it is on this very account that the j friends of the proposed National Society; w*sh to see it established, that the operations thereof may wake up an excitement throughout our " wide scattered population," that shall be the moving cause of changing the " condition of the country." It is also argued that the failure of t several state and county societies is prcof that a national one must fail also. Let me ask if this is a valid argument? This short quotation, in my mind, is I sufficient to throw the whole force of the argument into nonetity : " Divided j and scattered as w<? a'p, we spend our j forces as it were,drop by drop, whereas union would make us mightier than a tor- i rent." The object of all state and county societies has been of a local nature. Their existence has been known only in their own locality, and they have been too weak in numbers tc command legislative aid. Who cr,n tell what would have been the effects if all he members of the local societies in the Union had been attached to one National Society? If *M the exertions, of all these societies, .. . . . i "j ii_. i i i collectively and maiviauaiiy, uuu neen concentrated upon our ooject, woukf it not have formed a " torrent as mighty, comparatively speaking, as the thundering. N ;m; ira. If the nation, instead of Individual*, ! H received all the light of the intelligent minds thai have been devoted to these local societies, would it now be said " that! he public mind was not sufficiently enlightened to appreciate the advantages to be derived from a Na-1 tional Society ?" Kail the money that has been devoted 44 drop bv drop" upon j 44 model farms" and local sc hools had t been concentrated, should we not have on , institution worthy the great country wy inhabit ? If our population is scattered ; if44 long distance intervene between the most effi. cient friends of agricultural improvement," s<-> much the more need of forming such a society as shall draw tiiam together in 44 one strong bond of brotherhood." ; Is it a fact,4 that the time has not yet! arrived when such an "issociation can be ArMi.ired with a reasonable eortaintv of success ?" If such is (he fact, I am His. appointed in the character and energy of my countryman. Once more I c ^llupon you to answer' me this question am I so disappointed J in vour character ? Do not refuse your countenance to the | measure because it does not originate in high places. For * if we ire ever to have a National Society of Agriculture, it must he got up by the farmers themselves;" and as one of that class I now address you. If the present attempt at organization fail the matter sleeps until you and I are past waking ?

In May last, on the Tippecanoe battleground, in presence of somclhirty thousand people, I .was intrusted by the sum*, ving soldiers of that memorable field with I ihefiag that was in the midst and thicknfthp strife, which f was commanded ' to take to this commercial metropolis, to be displayed here, before o?ir fellow-cifizens, as a living, speaking emblem of the valor of their old commander, and of the perils he had undergone. When the political contest was*over, (in which his courage had been questioned) and the j People had seated him as President in the White House at Washington, I was also to bear it there, and, in the name of his fcllow-soldiprs, request him to deposit it among the honored trophies of the Republic. I promised on that ground to execute this commission, and with an earnest conviction of coming success?ihat the forty-two pounder of the Empire State should herald its arrival there; but in the midst of scenes jo eventful as those of March, I put off* the duty in the hope of a more quiet day, when, now, alas! there is the quiet of the grave ! . I see, therefore, no way so proper to obey the orders of the brave men of Tippecanoe as to lay this flag before you, the successor, for whom were the (lying in junctions of their illustrious Chief, and j upon whom his office, and I trust, his spirit; has fallen, with the roquet; that you wil!1 carry out the wish of his corppr.'rjrN >r.! arms by depositing it among the 'rcphie the Republic. I heg you, in th<ur on k\ j most tenderly co cherish ir. Ot.j*,r ' rgs! of our countrymen, have no doubt, b?. ..n as gallantly defended, and were as g'oiiouson land or sea; while they may have won but a single ship, or a single field, this has the honor of winning whole j States, of conquering empires, ind ed.? An old Eagle !il:e thir., borne by the pioneersofthe wilderness, that has added to the reign of liberty and law, become a holy emblem, with its in hocsigno pinc.es upon if. crying out as from the spirit of the p. st to the future, and which as the coun. try becomes oldc ai.d greater becomes to all posterity holier and dearer. I have th? honor to be yours, resncctfullv, JAMES BROOKS." THE PRESIDENT'S REI LY. To James Ttrool s, Ksq. Washington, May 4, 1341. ''The flag which was in the midst and thickest of the strife," and was committed to your care on the Tipp?;c?u.;>e hattie-ground by the surviving soldiers of t hat memorable field, and which they commanded you to hear to tins metropolis as an emblem of the valor of their old commander and of the perils he had undergone, has - been delivered into my hands, and will be placed by me among the honored trophies of the Republic. The account which was given me some years ago, by the gallant English, now no more, who upheld that banner amid the perils of the fight, had prepared me to expect to see it as it is, gashed by the nnmK'Ui'!; ami rpnf hv halls.

Death is the common heritage of 11 - - * -4 ,1.4 , all mankind; so to Jive oui as mai me ? darkness of the grave shall not obscure I our names, and that they be placed in < close association with the names of the i great and good who have gone before and i who are to come after us makes death i , " j itsplf a consummation rather to be wished I thnr. feed, and throws a light of glorv i over the grave. Such now, is the oondi- < lion of 4,the old commander" ir?to whose ! hand*, when yuu received this Hag, you i 1 so joyously anticipated its delivery.

JOHi\ TYLER. The bearer of the flag at the battle of Tippecanoe, alluded to in the above reply of the President, some of our readers may not recollect, was Ensign Tipton, a Tennesseean by birth, who started from home with only his axe for a patrimony, and who subsequently became a Senator in (1 the Congress of the United States, and j one of the first men in Indiana. Of him | 1 ihe anecdote is rarrated, we have seen in , the public journals, whers Geu.

"Dead I sir." 1 "Your Ensign?" "He sta nds before you!" 1 where Tipton then stood, holding and de- ' fending this very flag, but so covered witii j dirt anu so besmeared witjb, blood that I Gen.

H. aL -i tl From the Charleston Courier, anthon's classical pictionaky. w The incessant devotion of Professor hi Anthon to the cause of classical literature ai has he en already evinced by his publication of a series (not completed) of the an- tl oient Greek and, Romar classic auth-^-s; is his ability and fideltv, in the cxe~u ?^n w of the arduous task, have be^n tested by z the almost universal use of his editions tl of the classics in the seminaries of our 2 own country, and their general adoption d; in the most eminent schools of Great Bri- tl tain and Ireland, as we lasbythe warm p< sulogies bestowed upon his labors by some s< of the most distinguished philologists tr in both hemispheres. Independent of tr such incontestible proofs of superior schol- tl" ?l:_ iu. : 1 n: _r D.n ?, firsuip, .uit: Vyiassicai yiijiiunnn ui i "* fcssor Anthon would of itself bo a suffi- ir cient to establish his rep itation as a schol- si arof profounderudition, untiring industry, es and interminable research. A thorough h< acquaintance with the Germah language w has given the Professor free access.to the inexhaustible mines o! German literature, ir which he has spread with an unsparing h hand throughout the pagos of the diction- sf arv: the works of modern tourists and ai mglwimmwmwawbmmwww whhiii geographors have been consulted, and se. 1 iectiomi have been made and inserted in t the respective articles, which not only t terest the reader, but^in many instances d elucidate what was nitherto considered \ doubtful or obscure. The author has t throughout his work been ever mindful of f .he maxim of the Roman satirist, iNil.dictu foedum, visque hacc litninia tnngat, Intra quae puerest. The narratives of gross impurity, which defiled thrt pages of Lempricre, are utterly excluded by Professor Anthon, and we V can say with confidence, that Anthon:s 1 Classical Dictionarv cannot fail to prove ^ acceptable to the ecclesiastic, the gentleman, the schrlar, the professional man, or the reader of whatever description, tl who seeks for information upon subjects of tl antiquity. c Some twenty?five yesrs since, any ^ person who'advanced the idea of editing a Greek or Roman classical author, upoii b the reputation of American scholarship, If would ho considered insane.
