The I'rophetic Watchman and Herald of
the a mgdmn is the name of a new paper, published, at Indianapolis, by Elder J. M. Stephenson. The paper was lormerly puo. lixhed at Harvard, III. .

Agricultural Societies Agricultural . .. Fairs. Conventions are being held all over the land lor almost all sorts of asso
ciations. Why not hold an Agricultural Society Convention? We know
that there is much to be learned by an
interchange of opinion in regard to the management of Fairs how they should be conducted, the best plan far getting up a premium list, the amount ol premiums to be offered, the rate or
price of entrance fee, per ceo tage on entrees, ticket fee's, rules for government of Fairs, when the Fairs should
i,be held, so as to not be . on the same
days, and many other things wtich would be. for general good We suggest that a convention, fuch as we have named, be held in this eity, on thefirt Tuesday in March next, and that Warrick,. Posey, ' Gibson aud Knox Counties, of this State, as also Henderson and Daviess Counties, Ky., be represented. We hope the agricultural societies named, aud as many others as wish to meet in convention, will select delegates (say their President and Secretary), and notify the Secretary of the Vanderburgh County Agricultural Speietv.
We name Evansville as the place of
meeting, as it is the most central.
Toe Eighth tfJauuavy is no longer
recognized as a day of importance by the Democracy of Indiana. Jack-
sonian Democracy may be classified
with the things that were, but are not
so far as this State is concerned. In other States, however, the traditions
and holy days are properly preserved
and observed. In Michikau the De
mocracy celebrated the day by a grand banquet, presided over by Frank
Blair, Sr.,: the former editor of
Jackson's organ J '.InV Washington also a grand banquet was to have been held, and we presume was. At the
latter the President and Cabinet," Ex
Presidents, with numerous Maj'or aud
and Brigad er Generals were ex
pected to participate. We suppose it
was a grand affair, and that the Presi
dent was toasted as being, a secoud
edition of Jackson " revised and cor
rected." r '
The State House, says :the ludiauapolis Journal, is now ready for the occupancy of the Legislature. Rev. B. F.

In the Senate Chamber and Hall of the House, the ceiling has been repaired and repaint ed, the walls repapered, and the pillars cleaned and.put in something like architectural order. The old time candle gas jets have.been dismantled, and something less offensive put in their stead. The desks have been varnished and covered, and the ffoors and halls covered with handsome carpet or matting. The committee rooms have also been refurnished in a neat and convenient; manner for the
business of the Legislature. ,

Toe Washington correspondent of
the rsew lork Tribune seems to have a very poor opinion of the Congressional party which recently made the tour of the Southern States to ascertain the feeling of the people on the question of restoration. It says: " The members of the party who went for a 'little recreation,' succeeded in obtaining it, and those who went to have a 'good time," had that also; only those were disappointed who ac
companied the excursion 'to obtain a correct idea of the feelings of the Southern people The champagnes, turkies, whiskys, brandies, wines, lobsters, ices, turtles, etc., etc., had no limit, and it was not the fault of the Southern people if any Congressman came home huugry or thirsty. The affair, was not, however, without its lessons. One Congressman lost his overcoat, another his valise, others had their j
pockets picked. The wife of a Senator lost a valuable gold watch, and the only members of the party who lost nothing were the newspaper correspondents, the reason in their case being that they had nothing to lose."

The Indianapolis II raid says it is rumored that the Terro Haute road has been sold to the Indianapolis 'and Cincinnati Company, to be used in the interest of that road and the Bellefortaine and Lake Shore road. The purchase was effected by a threatened extension west of the Martinsville Road a piece of strategy similar to that by which Mr. Lord obtained possession of the Lafayette Road. This transfer must materially affect the interes s of Indianapolis.
