YHyHERE is to be found in this establishment
4 greater variety, and u larger stock Of pure
aud genuine Natural, Mixed and Manipulated
FERTILIZERS, than in any other South of Bal
tmore, and the Planters of Georgia, South Caro-
lima and Alabama, are requested to call anu cx
amino tho stock before buying clsewhcrc-they
will do well to do so.
Planters in Georgia and South Carolina, are daily
coming in, testifying to the virtue Of these Ma
nures, and will be, after lst of November, forward
cd in pamphlet form to any who may wish to see
them.
The AMERICAN UAN0, notwithstanding tho
unfavorable season, has won reputation through
out Georgia, Alabama nnd South Cnrolina, (whcrc
il has been extensively used that sets aside all
cavil as to its position among the best Fertilizers
yet discovered. 1t stands side by side with Peru
yian.
It is true there have been some failures-Rways
will be-so thcrclns been with Stable Manure and
Peruvian, indeed, every kind this season, but that
dues not prove that American Gunno will not pay
n lurgc per centnge. In almost every case, where
there has been what is called fniure, il has been
owing either to The manner in which it was np-
piled, the cultivation or the quantity used. Some
put it too far from the sced--s0me lose half by the
wind blowing it away-others by mixing 1t with
Stable Manure, or by using not half enough to tho
acre; but take it us it was used, by the neXpcri-
enccd Planter. and so far as we have boon able to
learn the truth, in ninc cases out Of ten the Gu
anoed Cotton, Corn, Wheat Oats, Barley, Rye
Turnips, and all Garden Vegetables have yielded
nearly twice us much as the unguanocd land-so
it pays even iu the drycst seasons. You make but
little this year-poor crops-but if you had used
no Fertilizer, you wonld hnvc made next to moth
ing. If tho seasons had continued throughout
July and August they did up to the 18th Of
June, the old worn -out hills Of Georgia and Caro-
lima would have groaned under the weight Of the
most overwhelming crops that were ever gathered.
So don't be discouraged, but follow the example Of
the Dicksons, Thos. Whaley, 7. j. Smith, of Hun
cock Judge Roberts, of Warren; DR.. Minis, T.
G. Lunar, and the Ruinsfords, Of EdgeGeld, S. c.
who return annually to their land from 81 to ST
worth Of Fertilizers per acre, and your success will
be like theirs, an overwhelming income for the
money invested to say nothing of the permanent

Is recent invention, and in our estimation is
decidedly superior to the common Gin. 1t picks
with greater rapidity, and universally makes
good sample. The Gin requires good speed, and
is best suited for water or steam power, though
with good gear four mules will run 60 Saw with
ease. We make these Gins in size from 60 to l20

Dreadful Fight between Bear and a
Hunter in Crittenden Co, Arkansas.

The following incident was related 10 us
yesterday by Que who, being a hunter him.
self, is perfectly reliable:
A strong, short, thick-set Arkansas hun
tor, weil known in Crttonden County by
tho soubriquet of "Doer Siayor," was re-
turning home on Friday afternoon. with an
incautiously empty gun on hs shoulder.
when he suddenly found himself confronted
by an animal not often seon in that neigh.
borhood. largo black bear of tho softer
sex. The Deer Slayer being a man OF un-
dsunted mettle, and having his courage
raised by several deep potations, resolved
to kill the brute. which showed non of tina,
fear generally displayed by her species, al
sight of tho lords Of creation.
Tho bear lay right down, its grim nose on
Its grisly paws. and it's eyes fixed on the
hunter, who calmly proceeded TO load his
gun, not little astonished at tho immobiI
ity of Bruin. Being ready. the man frod
aiming at the boasts head; tho animal rails.
Ing as ho did so. caught tho bullet on her
back. which IL merely grazed. She then
preciptated herself on her aggressor, and q
long combat ensued, tho man striving to
olude hor embrace, ever and anon striking
heavy blows on tho head with the butt end
OF his rife. which at last he broke. but not
until no had almost stunned tho unfortu.
nate animal. into whose sido he plunged a
long knife, reaching her heart. The vcto-
rious Deer Slayer has been lionizod ever
since, and has bis soubrigutt changed to
Bear Slayer. His left shoulder and sido are
dreadfully torn, and he 10 greatly weak onod

A FELLOW went into store at Troy,
one evening, lately, and requested to have
his cap filed with molasses, as it was for
a wager when the full cap was handed
to him, he complained That it was musty /;
when the grocer went to smell it. the thief
dashed it in his face. rendering him blind,
and then robbed the ill Of six dollars.

most influential papers in France, says oi
the proposed Southern Confederacy: "Lel
