GovERyoR REEpER IN KANSAS Our readers
will SEQ that Governor Reeder is in full guber-
material sail in Kansas, notwithstanding his
virtual removal by the President, through the
Secretary Of State and the Attorney General.
1t will be remembered that there were official
communications, which stated in nnmistakeab!e
terms, that he could not be allowed to resume
his Official duties if certain charges against him

Tte sacrcduess Of ehe Union.

The National Inte'ligencer, in two recen,
articlys--,he first in direct reply to the Mercu'
rv, and the second il answer 10 the Fayette
vile Observer, commenting on its reply-has
maintained doctrine SO extraordinary; that
we at first thought it best to leave it to answer
itself to the conscience Of every tt,ati having
in him II spark Of the spirit Of liberty. But
that paper so inuoccntly repeats its doctrnei
that We beg in to think it may lie Il real creed,
hot only Of the Intcligencer but of p"liti'
cal party in the United States.
The great point in this creed is, that to ac
cumri>h dissolution Of the Union, there must
he, not only the cpuseut Of all the States, but
Of ali the people Of all the States: that every
body wh' actually or construcvely has con-
scnled To- the Union, must consent to its diSSo
luton, in order 10 make that act rghttul.-
There is something in This kind Of reasoning
very absurd. Z. /: is nothing less than maintain
ing that Il limited government is absolutely
without limit. The parties who made the
Government Of the United States were snvr.
reign communities, and they have surrounded
their agreement Of Union with a vast number
of limitations and conditions; aud it is no~
PeIcHieu tHdC HolNIuS icsS thair " "''''S''"'
consent Of tie whole, that the acts OF majority
of them, are in deogation of this agreement OF
Union, can Justify any portion of them i'll de
clarng the compact void. In short diss"Iu-
ton OF the Union is an npossibiiity, So long
rs the usurping majority shall be bold enough
to declare that its own acts are proper.
1t does not require any extraordinary per
spicac:tv to sec that with such prncplcS, the
Intciligcnccr, in l776, must have been Tory
of the strongest sort. We can imagine its sad
diat'i 'ibcs over the revolutionary doctrines of
Patrick Henry and James Otis.
The whole mistake of the Intelligencer rests
upon the fact that the Constitution of the Uni
ted States makes no express provision for its
own dissolution. But il was 4 compact, and if
the parties to it still remain, they have the
right to enforce it; aud if they are no longer
eXtant, then il is dead letter, and every body
has the riS int to trampIe on it.

We part with Mr.. Johnston with many re

We cannot wish oar retiring friend kind

Ma. EDIroR To most persons there is no
little difficulty in believing that an article so
apparently destitute Of nutrimental or manu-
rical qualities as dry Bone Dust" should
be capable, when applied to the soil, OF pro-
ducing any beneficial results. This mystery,
however, thanks to the achievements of sci.
ence, is now easily explicable, for instead OF
being composed, as many suppose, OF simple
amort substance il has been demonstrated TO
consist of three distinct and highly valuable
materials. viz :--carbonate of lime, bone
earth. aud cartilaginous matter, all of which
are alike beneficial in the production Of vege-
table life. OF the entire weight OF the bone,
that part called "bone earth," may be estlma-
ted at ore-half at is a peculiar phosphate
Of lime, containing eight parts of lime, to
three parts of phosphoric acid" The greater
part of the value of bones as nianurial
agent, depends no doubt upon the presence
of the cartaginous matter This is more
readily decomposable than the other parts.
and consequently acts more Immediately and
with greater vigor upon the crop. The other
constituents, besides contributing very essen

velopement of the crop, has also mechani-
cal action upon the soil. THE animal part

one-third Of their weight. the ammonia is
equal to eight to ten times that Of COW dung
If we regard the salts only, one hundred
pounds Of bones contain sixty-six times as
much as an equal weight of COW dung. Such
statements, while they explain the chemical
facts, are almost, if not quite, supported by
testimony for those who have, in practical
agriculture, applied these concentrated animal
inanures.
1t is a common opinion that bones from the
soap-boiler have lost their animal matter. il
is erroneous. Boiling, except under high
pressure, extracts very little Of the gelatne
and not all the fat and marrow. Heads, and
the shoulder blades, and smaller bones still
contain, after boiling, 81 per cent. of fat and
tallow.
If the phosphate OF lime of such bones, is
dissolved ont by the acid, the animal portion
remains with all the form and bulk of the
bones. The phosphate Of lime is rendered
quite soluble by its combination with gelatine
and albumen. Bones that have been long in
humed beneath the soil, when taken up ant
crushed, or prepared for manurial purposes by
grinding, act with great energy, thereby
showing that old bones are Of too much rea
value to be thrown away and negligently over
looked by those who wish to Zurich and fcrti
lise the soil.

The use Of wood ashes in agriculture, is
now become quite common. Most farmers
appreciate them highly, and use them on Il
variety OF crops, with success. Besides the
immediate effects produced by wood ashes, in
invigorating and sending forward the crops to
which they are applied, there is another and
no less important advantage which they se-
cure, though less speedily deveoped-the
permanent Improvements of the soil. On
cold lands, they tend TO warm and stimulate.
and where moss abounds, their application. in
limited quantities. is always beneficial The
following experiment shows the value ofasbes
when applied as stimulant to the corn crop
On piece of light sandy loan, TO which no
manure had been applied in the course Of
many years, and which had been plowed in
the antumn-the previous crop having been
grass, planted Indian corn. One-half Of the
piece was manured with half shovelful Of
very rich compost, in the hill the other half
with one-half pint of uneached wood ashes
There were just rs many hills in one division
as in the other, and the ashes were mixed
with the soil before dropping the seed At
first, the part which received the COMPOST
dressing, manifested the greatest vgor; the
corn was more rapid in its developement. and
the foil e was darker and more luxuriant till
the second hoeing; but after that, the ashed
division gradually gained upon the manured
part, and at harvest it was found that while
the latter produced ten bushels and eighteen
quarts, the former had produced eleven bu-
shels and three quarts The fodder on the
manIred part, however, exceeded that on the
ashed part but the corn on the ashed div-
sion, was much the soundest, and better filed.
= like result attended an experiment of the
came kind on the bean crop. In an expert.
mcnt with ashes and bone manure-equal
quantities Of each being used-on Swedish
turnips there was very little perceptble diff
ferenCe.-The crop in both cases was decided
iy excellent, and of a character to impress
me with a very high opinion of the value of
both articles. l have used unleached wood
ashes for many years, and am firmly persua-
ded that where stable manure is worth four
dollars per cord, good ashes would be cheap
ut one dollar per bushel.
