Pursuant to notice given, the Agricultural Con vention herd for the purpose of organizing a County Agriculiural Society, met In the Court House, at Pittsburgh, on Wednesday, the 2lst inst. The Convention was organised by choosing Ats-t- ARLISIL HILANDS, Esq., President, and John Cheney, of Ross; Miller, of Snowden; Wm. Martin, of Reserve; and John Young, of Robinson, Vice _Prkidents, and Geo. Parkin and John Murdock, jr., Secretaries. Mr. Wm. Eichbaum then offered the following resolutions: Resolved, That the establishment of an Agricultu ral and Horticultural paper is much needed in Wes tern Pennsylvania, and so useful an undertaking would deserve the patronage of the farmers and gardeners in the said district. Resolved, That be a committee for the purpose of making such-arrangemehts as may insure the publication of a paper devoted to the in terests of agriculture and gardening, and that they have authority to appoint a Committee to supervise said publication. Mr : Forward addressed the meeting in support of the measure indicated in the above resolutioils. Ao agricultural paper, he said, was much wanted. He had labored to have one established. The agricul tural papers of the East were not adapted to the roil and climate of this region. lie spoke particu larly of fruits in which be bad been an experiment er for some years. There war no certainty in im ported fruit fulfilling expectation* here. Some kinds Which are in high reputo in New England, will slot answer there. There was great diversity in soil SO Climate. Even, no farther 'off than- Cleveland, the difference in results vracattost striking. Nursery mess and others were bringing On fruits and testing their `qualitics and * adaptation to climate, and we to- report redrilts;tifid Viisedium of communication. He had tramsll4i goad deal, but had never met crith,any region *hero the quality of soil is so diversied as here. We have the limo stone formation, the slate formation, the coal forma -1 tine, and others, with e. very uneven country. One of The results of this was that, while some pronounced the Mediterranean Wheat , adtitirr W e, the very best, others stated the reverse. It was a matter of io:utast, importance that we should have a paper to report and elicit rims. No ono can deny that our agriculture is in a languid and sloven• ly state. There was nothing to awaken and stirmr. late to the emulation which was accessary to excel lence. After sem° debate, it was resolved that the reso utions be postponed till after the ergatiis then oldie On motion of Hiram Maltz, Era:, a committee of seven wars raised for the purpose of drafting a Consti tution. The chair appointed the fullowinigentle. men—Memrs. Huh; M'Cioskey, Forward, Verner, White and Boyles. During the absence of the Committee, Edward D. Gamin, Esq., addressed the meeting on the impor tanee of the agricultural interest. lie dwelt with much force on the importance to the farmer ofp/ank roads. While rail roads were to connect the Atlas" tic with the Pacific, it was the province of the plank road to connect every farmer with the great arteries of communication. The cost was not more than the first outlay of a stone road, which :detest immediate ly needed repairs; while a plank road would remain good serener eight years, and if made of the best materials, would last ten or twelve years. Mr. Scott, of Ross township, then addressed the meeting for a few minutes in a very forcible manner when the committee to draft the constitution return ing, he gave way for their report. Mr. Belt:, on behalf of the committee, reported a constitution and bye laws, which, after some slight amendments, were ad - opted. On 'motion of A. W. Marks, a committee was ap pointed to superintend the publication of the consti tution, and prepare an address. The Chair appoint. ed A. %V. Marks, of Peebles, John Scott, of Ron, and Samuel Fahuestock, ofElizabeth. TWO memberti of the Convention then signed the Constitution, paid their, contribution of ono dollar eigh,and then proceeded to mark for office* which resulted in the election or the following : President—Hon.

The large quantity of Rarrel Pork which arriv. ed, by the tabular receipts, at New Orleansto Feb. 14th, (increased by' _an:error 22,009Therrele in the three days eudiiig Febroaty'l9) athilhe-iery -large-quantity cleared from New Orleans for New York, under the, head; of,..,IARREL PORE, has produced cliiitession in the prices of _this article,ltthe•latter;eity,•and under the panic OCCitairdied by ,': the unexpecte4 excess in this par. iiisdardescription of Pork,. added to the unfavorable inthieniet of a severe pressure - in the money mar •ket,' some holders have been forcing off Mess and 'Prime Pork below .remunerating prices, Look- ing only to this apparent excess in the early re ceipts of Barrel Pork,. the causes,which.have con tributed to occasion it, appear to have been entre Ig disiegatded..We 'tiow refer more particularly .to the actio/ decrease in. Bulk Pork during the peri od alluded to; and the fact, that about 25,000 bar rels of Old Pork,' which had been kept over at Cincinnati r Louisville and other points, in copse . quence of the low stage of the Ohio and other riv. ers until 'October, had necessarily been included under the head of new arrivals" moreover large quantities of Pickled Shoulders, Short Middles, Hams &c., packed in extra barrels . for the English and Eastern rnarkets,,bad necessarily been inclu ded under the head of Barrel Pork, and formed no inconsiderable portion of the quantity arrived at New Orleans and cleared kir New York, The writer of-this went to Cincinnati last No. vember under the impression that there would be as.much, nos more pork this year, throughout the West, as last year; but after tieing at' Cincim nati long enough to procure the best. information to be bad in that City and neighborhood, as also from the most reliable sources at their important packing points,—the writer was forced into the conclusion, that there would be a ponliverfficiency at Cincinnati and a probable deficiency through• out the West, this year, compared with last, and investments were generally made under this ins pression. It is now well known that a deficiency of about one hundred thousand Hogs has actually occurred at Cincinnati, but we admit that appearances are now decidedly against the accuracy of the writer's views, in a deficiency thromthout the West; but notwithstanding pruent appcarances, (admitting there should be no deficiency) we do not believe there will be any increase of consequence in the whole product of the Hog. it would seem vary ex traordinary if there hat lien any material . increase in the number of Hogs slaughtered this year, that an actual &crease has occurred in the number slaughtered at Cincinnati, it being, well known that the market prices, at the latter Cie y,have been so much higher than at any other point west of the Allegheny Mountains throughout the packing season, as to have drawn off the Hogs much cio• ser then usual from the States of Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana,. while at the same time it has drown large droves from mote remote distances that has been known for years. One fart has evidentlrdeveloped itself, and that is, that too large a pqrtion of the hog has been pack. al into barrels this year, by which operation wt have no doubt that while Barret Perk undergoes a temporary depression, Bulk Pork and Bacon will be in better dertiand, at improving prices, as the season progresses, and the inference certainly is, that if Bulk Pork and Bacon prove deficient, the I Planters and other consumers of this product of the bog, tnust purchase Barrel Pork as a substi tute. By the table of receipts at Nest Orleans, to Feb ruary lath, it will be perceived that while there is an excreta in Barrel Pork at 160,410 Barrels compared withibe corresponding period last year, ; there is a deficiency of 1,701,750 pounds under the i heed of Bulk Pork, and a deficiency of 4,010 Tier c e ll of Lard, equal.to about one million pounds (the whole recipts being in this colt ulation brought to Tierces and tillirrelej The Fax and Hoglaheaell Pork, being put up for the English Market, utmost exclusively, is not brought, into this calculation, and is not Included under the heittl of hulk in the New (hien* table of receipts. Wall° consider that the quantity enumerated tinder the head of Harll-1, will about balance the, receipts of last year, or will not vary sufficiently to constitute any important item of difference in quantity; anti with this ,statement of actual rmi relent before us, together with the test information we can obtain from the most reliable source*, we cannot come to any other conclusuin, than that there will be a deficiency in Milk Park and Bacon this year equal to about six millions of pounds, and a deficiency in Lard of twelve millions of pounds. In arriving at this conclusion, we have been influenced by the fact (which is known to almost every Pork operator in the West) Mat no hogs has been rendered into Lord tins year at nay • parking paint, while last year, au immense number of Hogs were rendered into Lord at treey parking, point, throughout the West. Another fart eqoally vvell known is, that the Drovers sod Farmers have not bulked any Pork of consequence this year, so thee lost heavily last year by so doing—and Hogs having brought a satisfactory price (1,11 year, they have almost invariably'sold to the Pork packers, instead of bulking. This has also given the En- I grsh operators an opportunity to pack early and direct from the hog, instead of purchasing and packing en inferior article from Bulked Pork, as they did last year to a large exsent, after the slaughtering season had closed. The fact, that no hogs have befit rendered into Lard this year and that the Drovers have not bulk ed any Pock of consequence, is alone a sattsfacto ry exptanation of a great portion of the increase under the head of Barrel Pork, fo(41/1 who are con truant With She certain and impoitant difference which these change, in the treatment 'of the hog must necessarily occasion, while the very high quotations of Mess Pork - ($l6 to sl7p bbl in New York and Boston. with perfectly bare throughout the pork parking season) will most as. suredly account far the rush which has been made throughout the entire West, to get the whole pro duct of the Hog to marker, with the greatest dis patch, ea as to avail of these high quotations, and it is well knoWn that the extraordinary high stage of the Western Waters and open navigation from every Pork Packing Point, throughout the packing season has furnished unusual facilities for the ac complishment of this object. As it regards the prospects for sales of Provi sions we have never known the reason to open with brighter or more certain prospects of a brisk demand at [enumerating prices. The California market has already converted three of our dullest winter months into three of the hest for provisions generally, that we have aver known, and we con sider it beyond the admission of a doubt, that an im mense market has been opened in that region for our products and manufactures generally, whirls will be permanent. We have the surest informa tion that the English market will require a consid erable more of the products of the hog, this year, than last, independent of the increased supplies which will assuredly be wanted Mere, to meet the new calls, for expeditions to California, from all parts of Great Britain. France being comparatively quite under her pre sent Government, the French markets may be ex pected to require greatly increased supplies of pro visions over those of last year. The British Prom ince. and the West Indies generally are known to be extremely bare of Pork. The lumber trade of the East will require largely increased supplies the coming fall, and the New England States hav ing been drained of Hogs for the early English and borne markets closer than has been known for years, both the inferior and sea-board thirst rely upon Western supplies ton much greater extent than usual, independent of the annual increased] con sumption; which is no inconsiderable item to the country through, , The United. States Government have not, as yet, been supplied with a barrel of their annual require. Minns for, the navy, and must be purchasers before long to a much larger extent than usual, as it is well known that increased naval and land forces, must arson be sent to' and continued at California and the Pacifim. . -We may be also justified in saying that if the reported - accounts eaM,be - xelied upon, of the nu merous Orders'which '.have been given by owners to commanders of Whalemen in the Pacific, to quit "ploughing the ocean 'foe' the - pearls of . the deep,"- and- to repair:forth - With, with • portions their ergwisi"ttt'the .

It is said that troops are about to ne dispatched to Chi huahua, to compel the Americans to keep the peace and proceed tranquilly along the journey." A Herne Exracsmorr.—We learn that a gentle man of Washington city called at the White House, a few days since, accompanied, by his family, con sisting of throe sons and sit daughters, to pay his respects to President Taylor.
