FINE POWDER,

FORMING HIGHLY CONCENTRATED,
EFFECTIVE AND LASTING MANURE.
The great advantages of this Super Phos-
plate of lime over others consist in the fact that
all of it, being available in the soil as food for
plants, it becomes entirely converted into crops
while the Super Phosphates made from mineral
phosphate Guano and mineral phosphates in
stead of from bones, are available only to the en-
tent that they have been rendered soluble by the
action of the suphuric acid the remaining por-
tions, according to Prof. Voelcker and other high
authority, being in too insolable Il condition to
be of any value to the crop.
This fertilizer has been successfully used
throughout the Southern and Northern States
during the past fifteen years.
New purchasers are referred to our pamphlets
containing testimonials from prominent Mary
land farmers who have used this Phosphate on
Corn, Potatoes, Wheat, etc.

PRIVATE ROOM NO. 30.

Who that ever travelled during the war
through Meridian that does not remember
that hotel. The rush of travellers from the
cars TO tie door would be met by the gentle
manly proprietors with "Walk in, gentlemen
walk in" "Give me private room" would
be the demand Of fifty spectators and COM
missaries with stuffed carpet bags, who we're
distrustfll Of their neighbors. Certainly, F"
would be the invariable reply, and ''NO. 4O''
would be chalked on the baggage. At night
"such a scene" when ali the proprietors Of
private apartments would meet in the garnet,
which was No. 40.
There was very good feed at that hotel, at
least the insects thought so, for they assem-
bled from every quarter to feed on the trav-
elers. A distinguished Confederate General
said that his plan for destroying Grants ar
my was to let them take Nicksburg end
jackson, and those that survived the trip
on the railroad to Meridian (which was 81
ways killing some one)would staTve to death
at that delectable place. Dodgers tan bark
coffee and fried masses Of trichinea was the
bill Of fair which was diversified with haw
pie, squirrel tart and sour mOlasses when
such distinguished visitors as DIR. ", of
West Baton Rouge, came along and would
not be satisfied with less.
China berry whiskey, which although
maniacal in its tendency destroyed trichinea
in the system and made man obliviOus to
the bites of bugs could be had for its weight
in new Ish. And if you did not like the ac.
commodations afforded by No. 40 you gould
lie down mo one ever slept except the dead
in that town. in the string Of dilapidated
cars which formed the city.
It is said that Meridian was humanely
selected by the authorities as the place to
which car loads of hopeless sick Confeder-
ates were sent to die as they could leave the
world with less regret from that spot than
any other in the Confederacy. Good bye
Meridian, may we live three score and ten
and never gaze upon your red bills, black
Jacks and yellow ruts again.-Buton Rouge

ImperiaLists Leaving the COuntry-Cel'
ebraliOn Of the Fourth Of July at the
City of MeNicO-ParfieipatfO Of Ma
grTder and other Prominent Rebels.
New YORK, July 25.-The Herald's San
Francisco correspondence says: The steamer
Continental arrived there on the Oath, from
Mazatlan on the 10th, bringing a large num-
Der of Imperialists who are flying from the
wreck of the Empire, and seeking protection
under the Stars and Stripes, which they find
the demoralized forces under Macmillan
unable to afford.
The refugees give a gloomy account Of the
situation of affairs in the western part Of the
Empire. In Sonora all is confusion, and
disorder reigned supreme. Sinabra is COM
pletely invested by the Liberals under Cor
RORA, who has large aud well armed force
under his command. At every place south
of Sencola where the Imperialists were in
the ascendent, the Liberals are in arms and
making Roadway.
The American citizens in Mazatlan COM
plain of the want of protection afforded
them.
The Heralds City of Mexico correspon-
dent saws the 4th Of July was duly celebra-
ted there by the citizens Of the United States
residing there. General J. B. MAGRUDER,
Of the rebel army, and PRINCE SALM SALM,
formerly of the United States army, paid
their respects tothe American Consul during
the day, besides quite a crowd of less distin-
guished individuals. The Declaration Of
Independence was read by the Consul. The
memory Of WASHINGTON was eulogized by
Ex-Governor REYNOLDS, of Missouri, and
MAGRUDER responded to the toast Of the
army and navy of the U.States. That to the
memory Of our murdered President was re-
ceived with distinguished honor, all the ex-
rebels joining with MAGRUDER in respect in
its observation.

PERSONNEL OF THE PTTTLGDELHI1
CONSERVATIVES CONVENTION.

The National Inteliigeaoer says: "The
Radical Disunion press are evidently very
anxious for the Convention to be composed
Of what they term Northern copperheadsand
Southern secessionists. They see in such a
composition Of the Convention a very con-
siderable element out Of which tomake capt.
tai. But we apprehend that in this regard
they are destined 20 a signal disappointment.
The great Conservative Union party Of the
North viii be represented in the Convention
by men whose devotion to the country has
been conspicuous. The party at the South,
who seek so ardently the early and complete
restoration Of the Union, will doubtless, in
the selection of delegates to the Convention,
send such men as, by their antecedents, will,
most fully, give the stamp of nationality to
the Convention. Men "who accept the ma
tional situation and cordially endorse the
principles" set forth in the call, appearing in
the Convention from the South, urg-
ing restoration Of the Union would
give TO the action Of the Conven-
ton immense moral power. A delegation
Of this character from the South would ex-
srcise vast influence for good at this time.
We take it for granted that the people Of the
South, in availing themselves Of the oppor-
tunity presented by this Convention of max
ing known the national sentiment Of the
South, will do so in such a manner as to
give the fullest force to their action. To at
tain this purpose, they cannot have too much
regard to the personnel Of their delegations.
The importance Of this matter is so obvious
that il is unnecessary longerato dwell upon
H."
This is wise counsel and should be fol
lowed in the selection Of Southern delegates.
The men from the North or South who at.
tend the Convention Of August 18th, should
sedulously eschew the introduction Of ab-
stractions Of any sort Il is no place for
matter Of that kind. There shodld be moth
ing said Of Northern valor and patriotism,
or Of Southern heroism and devotion to prin-
oiple. The tint have been sufficiently dis
Cussed, and the day for distractions has
passed. The battle-6elds from one end Of
the South to the other illustrate the coura-
geous qualities Of both sections, and story
and song have embaimed them in memory.
Thia Convention is Cor practical purposes,
and the men who compose it should be Sc
lected without regard % ''anteCedents." Mat
ters Of the past have nothing to do with their
duty now and in the future. II men from the
South who honestly and valiantly supported
the Southern cause, are selected as delegates
to this Convention, and should attend and
throw ;heir influence and support TO the
great object Of the meeting, It viii add 10
i q power as an agency for good. We do not
approve Of the test in regard to "Sntece-
dents" let the people Of both sections Sc

New York, July 23.-The pleasant
weather Of the last three days has had the
effect Of preventing any further increase OF
the cholera in this city. The number of
confirmed cases yesterday was eighteen
One Of them was a man who was discovered
dead on Columbus street. The epidemic is
increasing on Governors Island. There
were two deaths yesterday and more than
the usual number Of cases. IT appears that
Of twenty-fOur cases on the Island, all were
boys Of sixteen 10 twenty. Prompt meas
ures have been adopted for the suppression
Of the epidemic, and arrangements are being
made to supply the troops with better water
than they now drink. On Harris Island the
cholera is severe the average being from
twenty to thirty daily, with a proportion Of
ten 10 fifteen per cent. Of deaths. Diarrhoea
prevails among the officers and men 70 some

prevent it from emerging into cholera
