There is another point Of great impor-
tance that should be here suggested. The
spreading Of too much Mari on lands, will
utterly destroy their fertility. Neither
Tree nor plant nor grass will flourish where
there is "a superabundance Of lime in the
soil. Itiherefore bebooves all who are
preparing 10 use Mari, 10 gel authentic in
formation as 10 othe proper quantity 10 be
used-olherwise they may lose much
more than their labor. As to quantity,
there is no invariable rule-because differ
en-, soils will benefit by different degrees of
The peculiar action oflime. To use it with
the besl effect, the planter must observe his
soils and study intelligently the effects Of
manures But Mari should be, applied
cautiously at frst and the result observed.
Experiments upon smallpieces ofland may
.5be made in great variety, and in that way
much may be learned from the results OF a
single year and the danger Of wholesale
blunders be avoided. We must not ex-

From the Greenuille Mountaineer
Mr.. CLAY AND THE Presidency.

MIR. CLAY AND THE PRESIDENCY.
Mr.. Editor-A short time since. an in.
,elligent Wing lady of Kentucky, while
on visit to South Carolina. remarked
that she would think a great deal more of
Mr.. Clay if he would remain at home,
instead of going about eleclioneering, like
a candidate for Sheriff, or some other small
office. when compared to the Presidency
of the United States she justly considers
his tour through the different States spo-
cies of demagogueism. and said he ought
to be above it, for he was not only lowering
his own dignity, but, if possible, the dig
nifty of the high Office to which he aspires.
The good lady had, no doubt, for
gotten the motto of the Wing party in
1910, which was, we stoop to conquer.
"Yes, gentlemen Wings, you did stoop.
but | will not say how low" What a
contrast there is in the conduct OF Mr.. CLAW
and MIR. Calhoun in relation to The pend
ing Presidential election; while The former
is acting the sycophant, and courting the
smiles of every body, merely for The sake
of promotion, the latteris moving on the
even tenor of his way, with all the dignity
and frmness that becomes an American
statesman and patriot. nj

Cotton.-Since the arrival of the Caledonia,
much Auctuntion has been experienced in the
northern and southern markets for cotton. II
seems however that the sales have been large,
and that large proportion Of the exports have
been for England AT the rate That shipments
have been made the stocks in the American
ports will soon be reduced to what they were
at the same period last year. With regard to
the extent of the crop, we have not as yet suf.
ficient means TO determine what it will be,
though if we were to Judge by oHr weekly
statement, j. will amount 10 more than 1900,
000 III few weeks we will be able to make
more accurate estimate of the crop. The re-
ceipts in New Orleans and Mobile continue to
be large; but it is our opinion that the decrease
in those two ports will be- as it has heretofore
been, very sudden. In the beginning of next
week the news by the Acadia will be received,
though we may before receive FIVE or six days

CLAY AND ADAMS.

At the time when the Presidential elec-
ton went TO the House of Representatives,
the Legislature Of Kenlucky by vote of
SO to 81, requested the members of Con-
gress from that State 10 vote for Andrew
Jackson, and they declared that he was
the choice of The people of Kentucky, by
a vote of 73 to IL. The Senate adopted
the same resolutions by large majority,
and it was well known that such was The
will of the people; for no Adams ticket
was run in Kentucky at all, so unpopular
was he in that section of couulry; vel Henry
Clay vuted for Adams and led The Ken
lucky delegation 10 follow in the same

hat, as was afterwards confessed me might
be made Secretary of Stale and be placed
in the 'line Of safe precedents" for the
succession. We are told. however, that
this was not corruption-not at all rep
rehensible thus to sell electoral votes for a
price, and that Henry Clay is very trust.
worthy immaculate politician! What
Kentucky thought of the matter at the
time. may be estimated from The fact that
in 1928. il gave majority in favor of
Jackson and against the Clay and Adams
coalition, of no less than 1894 votes.
The charge Of corruption in this matter,
il should be remembered, was made be-
fore the treacEery had been communica-
ted. If Henry Clay acted conscientiously
in betraying Kentucky by his vote for
Adams, a man too with whom he had an
"adjourned question Of veracity" as to
affairs at Ghent, it was in his power TO
have proved that conscience alone i'm
PEELED him, by refusal Of the reward of.
fered as compensation for his conduct.
Had he rejected the office. then something
Snight have been said on his behalf. But
he pockeied the fee; and his colleagues
confessed that it was for this fee. that the
vote had been given 10 Adams. There
never was a palmer case.-- .--Pennsyluanian.

Mad Dogs.-On Wednesday last, a
large rabid dog made his appearance in
the lower part Of The Village of Spartan
burg, and before his situation was discov-
cred, we learn that be bit two men, lace
rating The arm Of onssof them severely.
He also bit several dogs, (Which were i'm.
mediateiy killed,) and then passed out OF
the Village, pursued by a number of per-
sons, who we presume overlook and killed
him, as he crossed The Greeuvile road
about one fourth Of mile this side OF
the town, in less than two minutes after ,re
had passed, at which time be was fired
upon and wounded by his pursllers, but he
kept on. As We were in hurry to pc,

During the last nine or Ten months we

(says the N. O.. Bulletin. OF the 18th inst.)
in this city yesterday, on his return. He
came in The U. S. brig Bainbfidge, Com
mander Mattison, which sailed from Vera
Cruz on the 1st inst.
Zen. Thompson, previous to his depar-
ture, visited Santa Anna al his country
seat, and obtained, by his earnest solicita-
llon in their behalf, the liberation of the
remainder Of the Texan prisoners taken in
September 1912, at San Antonio de Bex-
ar. Gen. T. speaks very highly of the
handsome conduct Of the Mexican Chief
in granting him this request. which was
not official, Gen. T. having resigned his
place as Minister and already taken leave
of the Government. This was not the
first request of the kind which Gen. r..
had had occasion to prefer. He had aIrea.
dy been instrumental in procuring The lib
Grafton of number of The prisoners who
were taken at San Antonio, as we'll as of
several of those who capitulaled at Mier.
Gen. Thompson, we understand, will
remain but day or two in the city.
The number of The prisoners whom our
late Minister had the pleasure on his de.
parture 10 procure the Liberation Of, is thirty
five; ofthese, thirty-one came on the Balm
bridge, the remainder prelerring 10 con-
linue for The present in Mexico. These
prisoners had been confined about eigh.
teen months, mostly at the Castle of Pc
rote. They express their gratitude aud
estimation OF Gen. It. 10 the strongest
terms. The Texian prisoners still remain
ing in Mexico are the survivors of The un :.
fortunate Mier capilulation, about 100, as
we are told, in number.
