tron the body of a man at Rome, N. Y,
one day last week, which had been shot
into him by a pro-slavery man, named
smith, in Kansas, more than year pre-
viously. The ball entered the left hip,
traversed the body, and lodged near the
upper rib, on the right side. The suf-
ferer being relieved Of the ball, took it
with him, stating that he should go to
Kansas and hit Smith with it.

AMERICAN GUANo.

! The discovery BY American shipmasters Of
Guano islands in the Pacific ocean, which have
now been taken possession Of, under the Law
Of Congress, in the name Of the United
States, is certainly one Of more interest to
the great mass Of farmers, manufac turers,
and merchants than il new Ei Dorado had
been opened. These islands are not covered
with gold dust, but dust which will cover
our wasted fields with golden grain.
The cost Of Peruvian guano has been car
ried up to the highest point attainable by the
agents of that Republic; and the Minister oI
Peru, in letter dated Washington, Nav
S. 1856, says "no advantage Can possibly
result to American agriculturists from any
further agitation or movements on their part
towards obtaining free trade in Peruvian
guam or reduction Of price in their iavor."
And when this question had been thus settled
and concluded, Jeryis and Bakers islands
were discovered to be covered over with
guano. and provision was made by the act Of
18th Of August, 1856. for their being taken
possession Of by the American Guano Com
pany.
The test to be appliedto these guano islands
is experience in their use. But it may be
interesting to agriculturists. especially avn
ers Of waste lands, TO be told that the Jervis
island guano has been already analyzed by
A. A. Hayes, chemist, Of Boston, man Of
great eminence in his profession, and his re-
port is as follows:
The sample presented Of the droppngs Of
fowls, which, dried, we're light colored. very
uniform fine powder. As left by exposure
to air at 7Oo F. the mass was dusty.
One hundred parts consist Of
Crena,es snl humstes Of ammonia, oily mat.
ter. and eithie acid 1880
Phosphoric acid with lime, forming new lime,
bone phosphate, $500
Suphates OF lime and soda, l4.9t
Msgnesa from humssts, "a
Sand. 9:
ll7.4s
We see in the above analysis the great
superiority American gaano has is its great
store Of phosphoric acid, which Leibeg says,
" Of all the principles furnished to plants by
the soil. the phosphates are the most impor-
tant; for soil in which the phosphates are
not present is totally incapable Of producing
cereals"
Now, inasmuch as the American gnanC
contains Of ph"sphoric acid eighty. parts
we confidently believe this new guano will b.
in due time one Of the greatest Of all bless
ings conferred upon our already highly favor
ed land
