herd boy IN Rhyme. The principal of the London
Missionary Society's College at Hong Kong was
saddlcr in Huntley, and one of the best missionaries
that ever went to India was tailor in Keith. The
leading machinist on the London and Birmingham
Railway was mechanic in Glasgow, and perhaps
the very richest iron founder in England was
working man in Morap. Sir James Clark, her Ma
jestys physician, was druggist in Banff Joseph
Hume was sailor first, and then laborer at the
mortar and pestle in Montrose; Mr.: McGregor, the
member from Glasgow, was poor boy in Rosshire.
James Wilson, the member from Westbury, was
plowman in Haddington, and Arthur Anderson, the
member from Orkney, earned his bread by the sweat
of his brow in the Ultima Thule These men, how

From the details of foreign news by the Washing
ton, we learn that the long promised bill for reform
of parliamentary representation introduced into
the House of Commons on the 2sth ult., Mr.. Disra-
ell the Chancellor of the Exchequer, entering into
an extended analysis of the measure. The bill en-
larges the franchise extending it to large body of
the people heretofore excluded and at the same time
DISTINGUISHING another large body of the actual cleo
tors. The bill was vehemently attacked by the OPP
position, and but feebly sustained by the Ministry
The Press was, Of course, divided as to the merits
of the BILL the balance of opinion inclning against
it. One fruit of the new measure was already gath
cred in the retirement of two of the Cabinet, Mr..
Walpole, the Home Secretary, and Mr.. Henly, Pres.
ident Of the Board of trade Other changes are ru-
mored as on the eve of occurrence.

TIE HOMICIDE IN GEoRG1A.-The Savannah Neus
gives the particulars of the recent homicide of Col
Joseph Bond, wealthy cotton planter of Macon, in
that State, previously mentioned by telegraph:
1t appears that man named Marshall Brown, an
overseer of gentleman named Bell, "a neighbor of
Col. Bond,) found negro belonging to Col. B. on
the plantation of Mr.. Bell, on Friday evening, and
punished and sent him home. 1t having come to
the ears of Col. Bond, he met Brown the next
morning on the road.
Both were on horseback, and Col B. rode up and
inquired if he BROWN was the man who had whip
ped his negro. On being answered in the affrma-
tive, he struck Brown with a stick and knocked him
off his horse. Col. B. then dismounted and saw
that Brown was in the act of drawing pistol. He
Immediately drew and fired on him. wounding him
in the side, but not dangerously Brown, in the
meantime had drawn his weapon and shot Col
Bond, from the effects of which he died in a few
minutes.
Col. Bond was probably the largest cotton planter
in Georgia, his last crop Of over two thousand
bales, having been sold in this city for over one
hundred thousand dollars. His age was about Ss
or 40 years.

learned and one to which "Justice," I respectfully
suggest, might proftably direct his attention.
But owing to the unexpected length OF this com,
nature of the editor although subject is not half
exhausted If Col Rufin has done any thing, or
omitted to do any thing, for which he ought to be
turned out of Office, call upon Justice" to pro-
claim it to his (Co R's) constituents his own
proper signature and he may expect respect
full hearing Until he do that, COL R. will remain,
as heretofore the choice Of the democracy of this
District regardless of the murmurings and bitter
complaints Of political aspirants.
Not having time to write communication to the

asking too much, to request these papers, respec-
lively, to copy this one? At some future time,

The Hon. EDWARD EvERETr.-It excites our ad-
miration to see the Hon. Edward Everett, the dis
tinguished scholar, writer, statesman and orator,
adapting his style and matter in the "Mount YER
ron Papers, to the innumerable readers of the New
York Ledger. His Mount Vernon Papers are beau
tiful in their simplicity, while they gently lead the
reader into fields of historic research and higher
order of thought and investigation 1t is not every
man who could well fill the pulpit in this vast Ca
thedral of humanity and discourse through ffty-two
ers. Mr.. Everett has heretofore achieved renown
among the scholars, and statesmen and orators Of
the world. He now mngles with and instructs the
masses Of mankind, and is not too proud nor too
fastdious to accept the level on which the common
mind is most accessible He has thus taught the
scribes and priests of literature and religion lesson
which they would do well to profit by. If he lives
to complete this work, he will embalm his name in
the grateful memory of millions of the American peo-

GLENN MARY, Feb. %, 1859.


Messrs Rabun d Smith, Savannah.
Your letter of 2lst inst, inquiring the manner in
which apply guano to crops, was received, and
reply:
In the first place, prepare the guano by sewing
out all that is well pulverised, and crushing the
Jumps until it will all pass through the seve For
corn apply it at the time Of planting; plant al
together in drills with the rows seven feet apart
drop the corn and follow with the guano scattering
it between the grains at the rate of 65 lbs to the
acre; not allowing any to be nearer than inches
of the corn as it destroys the generating power of
the grain should it come in contact with it. then
cover the corn and guano with two-teeth harrow
For cotton, lay off the land the distance desire
the rows with scooter and run second furrow
with double winged plough, which makes deep
furrow; then follow with the guano, putting gen.
orally so lbs. to the acre, though in strong land
have no hesitancy in applying in greater quantities
am governed mainly by the strength Of the land
but as before said, eighty pounds per acre is the
quantity usually apply; then run two scooter
posted, which breaks the ground thoroughly around
it. and then bed with turning ploughs; furrrow is
then opened on the ridge, the seed deposited and
covered
am adopting at this time mixture Of guano
and salt, which have found to do WE'LL and think
better than guano alone l mix together well, IS
to 70 lbs of guano to so pounds of salt and apply
it as do guano alone; this quantity apply to the
acre for cotton, but not so much for corn. l am
experimenting with salt, Peruvian and Columbian
guano also with cotton seed and stable manure and
hope to be able to in form you next fall of the COM
parative value of each of The most popular fertili
zers.
Yours truly,
r. T.. SMITH
