AORICULTVRAI. CONVENTION.
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

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

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. WALTER FORWARD.

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

Harris, ft oury Afternoon March 19.
,• . ,
Tho House is in session. As I write, reuch•coli-,
fusion.ola existing questions. The morning : session
was mostly occupied by a waste of words on two•
dlasimilar reports made by the Canallloird—or that
portion of them known ,as Mr.. Painter and Me.
Power; each differing in their mode and manner of:
doing business. There is evidently a bad feeling
existing between these official dignitaries, and as it,
now . appears,ai regular war may be expected.' After
several resolutioa.i and amendmints--being offered
to get clear of the precious documents,this morning
presented by said gentlernerr--Mr. R. Rundle Smith; ;
a cute, but yetclever Whig, offered a resolution that.
the whole question be postponed until Saturday neart,
and that u report be then submitted in aceerdseoe
with (louse resolution.. This prevailed; and we got
clear of the vexed matter, at the late hour of J 2 ot.
clock ; being three hours lost. ,
Your gentlemanly member, Mr . Swaruwelder,
presented several petitions : not a few against the
new county; also, one against the reduction of tolls
on the Slackwater ; also, the petition of the BoarS
of Trade, in relation to an appropriation for the Per'
!age Railroad t the latter was then read and refer
red to the Committee of Ways and Means. This is
an important matter, and should lie stiictly attended
to. Why do they not send some honorable dignita
ry down to instruct us here in oar duty.
Also, the petition of Elizabeth Abernethy, of Al
legheny county,•praying for a divo.ce, which was
referred.
Also, petitions numerously signed from. Factory
operative., to strike out the Proviso. This moment,
the bill from the Senate (passed on Saturday, on
this Important subject,] has been prevented bete by,
the Clerk of the Senate. I ant informed by Mr.
Robb, that be will move to strike out the whole Sill,
at.d Insert the old bill of year, by striking there.;
from the contentious part, the Proviso. When on
this subject, which our people have at heart, let me
state, tbit.there should be some concert of attion
on their part, to advise their friends here. This has
been suggested to me and it is impgrtant that there
shi.uld be a regular organisation ; by a - President
and other officers; that could give advice, and re
ceive notice of the progress of legislation. Will
you mention this to some of the leading spirits, that
are not afraid of the monied power; tor, rementher,
that there are fellows called men, that ate ready to
to sell themselves for paltry gain.
Mr. Robb, member from Manayenk, request!! you
to forward your paper, on the ground that you'ably
defend the operatives, in the Ten Hour 11111,ond the
inichtnics generally. This I call a compliment,
coming from a Native, but, withal, a Clever fellow,
and a nacchaeidephimself. Our mechanics should
bare a representative here, that juitice might be
done them fur it require* all the perseverance that
a working man can bung to his aid to get alosg at

CR Z, by the United States , Naval forces, which has
beenexhibited ten weeks in Bauvard's Panorama Hall,
NeW York, and three weeks in Albany, will be exhibit
ed as above. The Diorama opens with a
SCENE IN THE GULF OF MEXICO;
Men-of-War, Stearners,.Transports, tire seen sail -
Mg along. The rolling of-the ocean, the wrangle mo
tion of the vessels—upwards of seventy of which are
seen proceeding up . the Gulf, until they arrive' opposite
the tap of Vera Cruz.,—makes this the mast beautiful
scene ever depicted in any Diorama. • -
SPLENDID DAY:VIEW OF THE CITY
Magnificent Night Scene! and arrival of thp:United
States' Brig Somers, ou the blockading servwe: The •
English Frigate Endymion unseen to arrive, casts •
chor and farts up 'her sails. The Mexican Brig Crecile
slips through the blockade and moors closetcr thei cele- •
brated and hitherto impregnable Castle of San: luau .
Ultras. Lieut. Parker, with Hynsoni Hoge's, : and six.
men, are seen to leave the Somers and proceed to the
Endymiort—night comes, and they row:to the Creole—
secure the crew, then set the Ship on Fire!;• . .•
The Drums beet to Aims—but too late,' the'villant
Americans have-done their d uty• too well, fnil the: Brig
soon becomes enveloped in flames, and fiptilry.blovis up.
The" storm then arises, which ended in the 'meek of the un- •
fortunate and ill-fated Somers , and loss of one of thoic
Kan* spi, (tlynson.) and half the crew. 'The nextview
is the ARRIVAL OF GEN. SCOTT, iu the steam propel
ler Massachusetts. lie is fired upon by the guns of the
Castle,—shots are exchanged, but be succeeds ut recon
noitering the harbor. •
Ships of War, Transport', Steamers and Gun Boots, are
next seen to arrive. The Surf Boats are launched and
the landing of the Troops conunences ; they. are fired
upon by the Castle and Forts, but protected -by the dis
charge of broadsides of large vessels; they, are fallen&
. THE SECOND PART.
Terrific Bombgrdment front the Land Batteries/ show
ing the - erect of the shells upon the city . by "lay and
night- The Conflagration in Me City, the night previous
to the stirrethier, is the most awfully grand reprosenta
non of the event.ever attempted. • . ~, i
THE THIRD PART.
Entrance of the victorious American Army lath iie Grand
n
Plaza.. The varlet: gimenta of mid Volun
teers are seen defire d taking op th eir positions pre •
vious to the 'wrest f the:colors and tanstittetSf the
American Plag, which is Waled on the entrance of Gen.
SCOTT and slate Into the city. • - •
The whole is the. ork of native artists und.aitizans,
and is the largest mechanical exhibition ever seen in the
United States. The vessels nearest the "peculiars are of
great magnitude. The soldiers are larger figures than
are usually seen in a Diorama. Every thing is moving
as if gilled with life. .
. The New York Evening Mirror, of ot h November,
says:—
"The Diorama now exhibiting atso3Broadwal, Is one
of the most ingenioait and extraordinary works of the
' kind seer produced either in Europe or America. Marl
zel's . Burning of Moscow' was far inferior to it, both
in pictorial and mechanical effect f rind, the 'Battle of
Bunker Hill' was but a specimen of journey -work corn
'pared with this master-piece of art. %he tossing of the
~ s ea.tbe motion of the ships, the burning.of the Creole in
the harbor of Vera Cruz, the sit king of the . Soniers, the
thing from the fort, the landing of the troops, and all the
prominent iucidmits of the bombardment of the c ty . aro
so faithfullrrepreseuted, that it is difficult to convince
ourselves of the non-reakty of' the scene."' • •
