Mr.. Villas made few eloquent re-
marks, and concluded by proposing three
cheers for General FRED SALoMoS, who
had won his stars and shown himself en,l.
tied to more The cheers were given BY
the audience standing, with a will We nev-
er SAW surpassed.
On motion OF Mr., CROWLEY, three
cheers were given for all absent and re-
turned soldiers. -. .........
Or a call by the meeting, ADoLrn
WI1TxANN, Esq, addressed the meeting
in German, in most feeling and elo
quent manner, and when he turned 10 the
General and shook him by the hand, and
made his personal gratua,ions, the au.
dience-which knew that they had 70
political sentiments in common-b burst
with applause.
The meeting WAS a perfect success,
and agreeable to all pa,ties concerned

Fertiliz ers.
WHAT KIND AND HOW TO USE.


Thos. b. Caursey, Esq, near Frederick, in com.
munication to the PeninsuLqr NeOs, gives the fol.
lowing experience in relation to the use of fertilizers
1t is generally known that have been expert
nenting with fertilizers for the last ten or twelve
years; as consequence it is presumed that have
learned something as to the merits of the different,
articles before the public. And have been appealed
to by many within the last few weeks 10 know which.
in my opinion are tho best fertilizers 10 purchase
for spring crops If the price was the same pcr ton
the matter to my mind would he easy to decide: l
would say Peruvian Guano But, while Peruvian
Guano is just double what it was twelve or fifteen
years ago, might say that there are other articles
preei able at the difference in price. When P.ruv;.
an Guano was between $50 and S6O per ton used
with good results, mixture Of Bone Dust and Peru
Wan GuanO, and also mixture of Peruvian and
Sombrero Guano These mixtures believe in the
long run are preferable to Peruvian alone. On i'm.
proved land, perhaps, uciduated Sombrero Guano.
Bone Dust or SuPerphoSphate alone might nav bet.
ter than the mixture at the present price of Peruv
an. But on poor land, neither Bone Dust, plain
Sombrero nor any off the Superphosphates have pro-
duced as good results the mixtures alluded to
above. Nothing have yet tried has paid on the
first crop equal to Peruvian Guano, exccpt an ay,i
Gle in little experiment last year. used little
acldulatcd Sombrero Guano aganst Peruvian. The
acidulated made gain over expenses of Sl39 per
acre, while the Peruvian made a loss of s3.32 per
acre. The amount Of fSOmbrero was much less in
quantity and alsOin cost Ifthe same money value
Smyrna times., 1863-03-19

some one of the boats stationed here Sew
eral contrabands were placed as decoys in
the marsh between the river and woods, and
just within the woods some field pieces
were stationed manned by soldies from
Fort McAllister, and ready to fire into the
boat that should attempt the rescue of the
negroes. The trick, however, was discov-
cred, and no boat, of course, sent. This is
cited as an instance of what the rebels will
resort to, to accomplish their ends. Can a
cause so sustained succeed? Time will
show. g. S. G..

Gold is up to three Aundredin Richmond
So says the Dispatch of the 5th. Various
causes are assigned for the sudden advance
of fifty per cent. The Dispatch thinks it is
chiefly owing to the demand from blockade
runners, and from foreigners leaving the
Confederacy Silver has kept pace with
gold, and even bank notes are now selling
in the rebel capital at fifty per cent pre-
MUM.

PArRIonO REsoLUuoN.--The following
resolution was recently adopted by the
Legislature of Ohio Resolved, That we
will have no dissolution of the Union that
we will have no armistice; that we can
fight as long as the rebels and traitors can
that the war shall go on until law is restor-
ed, and we will never despair Of the re-
public.

The TEMPERANCE MEETING.-Another Of the Sc.

Wilmington, came of last Saturday evening. Tbs
attendance was la'ge, and notwithstanding the in

This element in these meetings is a good one. and
adds much TO the attraction. The Hall was better

REBEL NEGRO SoLDTERs.-The pickets Of
the enemy along certain portions of the
line on the opposite side of the Rappahan-
mock, are onc-half negroes and one-half
white men. The negroes are armed and
uniformed the same as the white The fact
appears beyond a question, only 100 to 15O
yards intervening between our pickets and
those of the enemy, and they are plainly
to be distinguished without the aid of a
plass.
