Bones as a Manure, and How to Dissolve
... Them.

The use Of homes for manure is exciting
increased attention. This is as i. shonId
be, for, 10 doubt, they possess many pro-
per;ies which are essential to the growth
of valuable crops. Especially is this the
case, in regard to the turnip crop. Both
in this country and in Europe they are Sc
curing "a high degree of popularity in the
raising of this valuable root. There are
localities where ground bones or crushed
bones can be obtained, and where their
genuiness IS unqvestioned. But all per-
Suns are not thus fortunately situated -
situated. Hence, the inquiry is often
made, How ran ! dissolve or soften
bones, so as to render them OF more imme-
,liate use to the purposes of agriculture 7"
For myself have found the following eff
fsctive: Place in the bottom OF barrel a
LAYER of ashes, say six inches deep, then
on these, layer OF bones. then cover
with ashes, and then give another layer oI
bones, and tGeat in this way unlh YOUR
barrel is full, taking the precaution to let the
last LAYER in the barrel be ashes Satu
rate the whole mass with chamber I've or
soap suds. ] regard the former best, al
though the latter will do. 1t may be me-
cessary TO repeat the wetting OCCASION
ally to prevent the mass from becoming
dry.
The time taken to soften the bones will
be from four to six months. ! have in
this way softened to pulp, the largest
and hardes, bones of the animal fame
When softened, they can be worked in
with the other materials of the compost
heap, and thus applied to land Cor. Rn-

PITr.-The widow of Stonewall jackson is
reported to be in destitute circumstances.
Union's Dispatch.
Now isn't that enough to bring tears into
the eyes of every officer and soldier who
fought in the Army of the Potomac? We
suggest that petition for her relief be gotten
up and circulated at Antietam, Gettysburg,
Frederick and Chambersburg. Wonder if
any Federal officers killed in battling with
Stonewall jackson have left widows who are
in destitute circumstances? And if any of
them were, would the circumstance be con-
sidered of sufficient impo ortance to be tele-
graphed across the continent? We opine
not Yet we would ike to know if there are
such cases. As to Mrs. Jackson's condition,

her fallen fortunes, or those of any other

State Mining Convention.

The q Mining Bureau at San Francisco,
has, at the request Of a large majority of the
journals interested in the mining interests of
the State, named day for holding the Con-
vention, and the place, by the passage OF the
following resolution
Resolved. That Mass Convention of the
miners of the State of California be and Is
hereby called to assemble in the city of Sac
ramento on Wednesday, the 18th day OF JAN
uarv. A. D. 1866, at II o'clock, and that any
person engaged in actual mining operations
shall be eligible to n seat in said Convention.
JOSEPH W. Low, Vice President.
J. B. WHITcoMB, Recording Secretary.
San Francisco, December 6, 1860.
This is as it should be. What remains to
be done is to make the Convention a success.
To insure that, every newspaper throughout
the State that has circulation in any of the
mining districts should agitate the question,
and in every mining camp ways and means
should be at once provided for sending one
or more delegates.
So far as Shasta county is concerned, for
her honor's sake her citizens should see to it
that she is we'll represented. The town of
Shasta should send two at least; Lower
Springs. L; Texas Springs, Horsetown,
L; Middletown and Muetown, l; Piety
Hill, l; GAINESVILLE, Roaring River and
Eagle Creek, |; French Gulch will un-
doubtedly send1, and should send 3: Whis-
kvtown | Dog Greek and Portuguese Flat,
being somewhat out of our beat, we know not
how to calculate for them, but we hope they
will, send at least delegate the mining
camps on Spring Greek, Flat Creek and the
Horseshoe Bend will certainly see to it that
they are properly represented. On the east
side of the Sacramento is Quartz Hill, Old
Diggings, Buckeye, Churntown, Copper City
and Silver Sity, all of which we hope will
send delegates.
There is no time to lose in making arrange
ments to send delegates. In many of the
above places there are miners forehanded and
able to attend this Mass Convention at their
own cost, and we hope they will do so, as we
feel sure they will be more than repaid by
the information gained In other districts it
may be necessary to call meetings to agree
upon proper representative, and to provide
ways and means for his going and coming.
Let it be done at once Every man has an
interest in this matter. Every miner has an
active one

GREENBACKs.-Cop in the North,
like their co workers in the South, are deter
mined to be power in the land-or, rather,
they mean to keep talking that way. They
have neither the wit nor the patience to see
that in their impudent forwardness and as
sumption of power they are only injuring
themselves. retarding in that way what they
would sooner acquire by the magnanimity of
the loyal people of the land. But no. They
will only have that which is beaten into
them, or which they dictatorially demand as
the right of American citizens-a right which
each and every one of them has forfeited
Lovingly they cling to Democratic usages and
organizations for their salvation. 1t was
once mighty power; but the blind asses
cannot see that it went under with the South
ern Confederacy, and to-day has no more
friends than that defunct concern. Yet
representatives of this dead dog, WHO have
crept into our legislative halls by hook or by
crook, are foremost in presenting bills and
resolutions for the consideration of decent
men. Shaw thought he had struck it"
when he moved that the Constitutional
Amendment be adopted. Mr.. Satterwhte
follows suit by offering a string of resolu-
tions against the repeal of the Specific Con-
tract Law and against greenbacks as a cur
rency. Now, who that belongs to the Union
party wants to be led by such men in such
matters. or any other? If we had wanted
the Specific Contract Law repealed, and
thought it doubtful about being able to secure
majority for that purpose, we should at
once, as matter of policy, have used any
influence we might possess to induce Mr..
Satterwhi:e, or some other Democrat, to do
Just as he has done That very move has
given twenty votes, at least, for the repeal of
that law. The Union sees it, too, and re-
grets it. As for ourselves, we care nothing
about the matter, thinking, as we do, that
under the common law every man is bound
to fulfill his contracts, in the same manner as
under the specific law. What annoys is that
these Copperheads should be sticking their
noses into matters over which they have no
control, "just as though they were as good
as white folks"-to use one of their favcrite
illustrations-and we wish in all sincerity
they would accept the position they actually
occupy-that of sinners on probation.

GEN. PALMER.-This officer, for long
time in command in Kentucky, was indict-
ed at Louisville for abducting negroes, &C.
The Court found that the Constitutional
Amendment was adopted sufficient num-
ber of States having voted therefor-and
hence that all laws applying to negroes as
class were annulled. Whereupon the Gen
eral was discharged. General Palmer issued
a proclamation declaring all negroes in Ken
lucky free The negroes held grand mass
meeting and jubilee Palmer addressed an
assemblage of over two thousand of them

SATURDAY MORNING, DEC. 16, 1865.

Turrr AND SOME SUIcIDE.-A Chinaman,
a lono time in the employ of Tom Greene, in
his hotel had become an object of suspicion
as the primary cause of many short comings
in the change drawer. A plot was laid for
bis capture. Money was marked and placed
in the drawer, and as usual locked up
Green then made arrangements to 60 out,
first having placed detectives in secret places
to watch Soon the willy Celestial looked
into the bar room. saw the coast clear, en-
tered with Ratchet, went quickly into the
counter, pried it down so that the lock clear
ed its fastenings, pulled cut the drawer, took
three or four dollars Of the silver, replaced
the drawer as good as new, and was retiring,
when the detectives rushed forth and cap
tured him. The fellow was terribly fright
ened aud penitent. Green told him that if
he would get him hundred dollars, and
leave the county, he would let him off. lie
went to Chinatown 20 raise the funds, failed
to get them, but instead got a cup of cold
pizen, which he brought with him, told Green
he could not get the money, and then delib-
erately swallowed the contents Of the cup.
A China doctor being called, said "him
swallow opium" aud at once proceeded to
administer antidotes, which proved so far
effective that after few hours a good sharp
switch, we'll laid on few times, brought him
to his senses He then compromised matters
by paying fifty dollars, and promising to
leave the town and sin no more. We all
think he'll keep his word. The fellow is
shrewd He established his character for
honesty by one day carrying to Green a half
dollar which he found lying on the floor. AT
another time he found pistol somewhere,
and gave him that also.
