advantage is to be gained by the Patent Com
post Attachment:
WE have used the Compost Attachment
made by Henson g. Hunt, of fCharlestown, Va.
Tor The last two years, and regard it as the most
complete fixture we have ever witnessed. The
Compost Attachmentworks admirably and with
great gularity--distributing the Guano regu-
larly over the field. We have made use of
Guano at the rate Of 200 lbs. to the acre.
broadcast, and with the Drill from 40 to 20 lbs
and found that 40 lbs. with the Drill would
produce more wheat, by 5 bushels to the acre,
lhan2OO lbs. broadcast From our observation,
we are satisfied that no land can be found that
will not produce 20 bushels TO the acre, by the
use OF 40 or 90 lbs Of Guano as sown by the
COMPOST Attachment ' i :. '.,l

THE GREAT
INVENTION Of the ACEI
Economy against Waste!

The subscribers having obtained the Patent
Nlght to manufacture the IMPROVED COM
foSi ATTACHMENT OR FERTIIIZER
are pleased to inform the Agricuturalst and
o'ners that they are fully prepared to attach
this highly celebrated patented Comnost 20
every Drill desired. The design of this inven.
tion IS to furnish the farmer with Machine
simple IN Its construction, durable in its mako
ana at cost comparatively small, which will
enable him to sow with his glain the Comnost
Manures, which the experience of every prac-
.ical iariner goes to prove is the greatest ferti
hzer brought INTO use. The mixture of ashes
ana guano IS contended by some to be the best
way IN which guano should be used, as il is
saving to the farmer of 100 per cent. in his
outlay and almost treble in the enhanced value
oi ms product, though this Machine is adapted
10 the use OF Guano in any form which the far
mer may think proper to use it, The certi6-
Gates which follow, though the Attachment has
lust come into use, are from some of the most
Intelligent and practical farmers in Virginia.
Iti shown, by the tests which have have been
made, that 40 lbs. of guano as sown bv this
Attachment, is better than 200 lbs. broadcast
u works with ease and regularity, can scarcely
be gotten out of order, can be attached 10 al. |
most any description of Drills, and is, in short.
what the farmer just needs, and their true in.
terests demand. "

From the Little Rock, (Ark.) True Democrnt.]
The Gold Mines on the Arkansas
River.
LETTER FROM A MINER.

EDITOR TRUE DEMocRAT.--Permit me to
place in your columns true and correct stat.
ment of the new gold mines on the Red
Fork OF the Arkansas river. ... .5
Three others and myself started from
Green county in Missouri, on the 18th day
of April, 1856, and reached the gold diggings
on the 4th of May. Our first business was
to find it the gold was there as had been
represented. On the first day after our ar
rival, we came to branch and found, on
examining the bed, that it contained vast
quantity Of the precious metal We had
brought nothing with us but frying pans;
but even with these, on washing out the first
-panfull, we obtained 1915 worth of the gold
dust. We stopped here several days ave.
raging from $75 to l50 per day. We could
have made more than we did, but we had
nothing to dig with. We then proceeded to
spring, which is the place where the gold
is said to have been first discovered. Here
we found that the water, boiling up out Of
the ground, contained some small Jumps oI
gold and quantity Of dust. ..s
went out to California in l849, at the
time gold was found in the greatest abund.
ance, and this beats California long ways.
have no doubt that if man had the right
kind of gold rocker, he could get gold here
as fast as he could count it. We have been
here about month and have made some
$500 each. There are about three thou
sand people in the different mines, and more
coming in every day. There are so many
here that provisions are high; beef to II
| cents per pound, -four $40 per barrel.
Some have returned home for the purpose
of selling out and bringing their families
here. The soil is good. The greatest diff
fcully is the want of water. If it was mo-
for that, this would be "a good farming coun
try. The valleys are tolerably extensive
and good land.

nenth arLord RagInn.

The arrival of the Argo from Europe,
brings with it the news Of the death Of Lord
RAGLAN. As our readers are aware, he was
the commander-in chic: Of the English forces
in the Crmea. He was sixty-seven years
old at the tme-of bis death, and had served
in. the English army for fifty years; was
in the battle of Waterloo under WELLING'
TON. Lord RAGLAN. notwithstanding oil his
advantages for acquiring proficiency in the
art of war, and all his experience in the
field, has shown himself to be utterly in.
competent to plan seige OF command an
army. His proceedings in the Crimean wal
have been marked by continued and humil
iatng reverses, and his death occurred only
few days after the must terrible defeat
which the English arms have suffered during
the whole seige. He is succeeded in com
mund by Gen. SIMPSON, a man Of whom bu
little has been heard. His capacities as
general yet to be tested.
The Crimea seems to be fatal land t.
the allied powers. Both Of the generals
who originally planned the campaign agains
Russia, are now dead. ST. ARxAUD, diet
just after brilliant victory at the battle o
the Alma. But the high hopes then enter
tanned, by the allies, are. broken by lonl
months of sickness, defeat and pestilence.-
There is but little encouragement, fo
France and England now.
