ANYTHING we recommend and it is source OF no
little satisfaction that it is now within our power
to furnish them with guano of such high excel

1t is fact almost uniformly concurred in, that
the yield of grain from the use Of Peruvian Guano
is never in proportion to the growth of straw, and
the same disproportion of produce to vegetable
growth is manifested in cotton. In tobacco it is
manifested by the lightness of the leaf and the
absence of the peculiar richness which distinguishes
the quality of tobacco. The disproportion of veg
etabe growth to produce is greater than is gener.
ally supposed The natural and healthy proportion
of wheat to straw is 1000 lbs. of grain to 1000 lbs
of straw. By experiment made for the purpose, it
is shown that to crops grown with Peruvian Guano,
the proportion is 1000 lbs. of grain, to 5000 Bs
Of straW (The excess of straw may not always
hold good in this exact proportion, but it is so to
greater or less extent.( This unnatural proportion
the one hand, and the deficiency of Phosphate of
Lime on the other, in Peruvian Guano, and hence
also its inevitable tendency to exhaust and depre
ciate soils

The History of Soluble Pacific Guano in the
Southern States, its introduction and success.


Soluble Pacific Guano was first brought to our
knowledge in 1864 We had no interest in it, and
knew nothing of its qualities or value. Not long
after we were rendered the agency for the company
and the consignment of small cargo was received
and put in store. We still knew nothing of Its
value and it lay in store. We could not recon-
mend it, because, although its appearance was
favorable, we could not Judge from that any more
than if it had been copper ore. After awhile, the
company wrote us to have it inspected, when we
advised DR.. Liebig to 90 to our warehouse and
take samples from the packages and make an In
spection, which he did. Upon receiving his re-
port. we discovered that we had stored away the
best cargo of guaR0 that erer came to Baltimore, and
that the price put on it was less by far, than Its
actual value, compared with other fertilizers. We
NAV be asked how we knew its value, as 1t had
not been tried" We reply that, from the inspec-
ton. we knew how much animal matter, how much
ammonia, how much soluble phosphate and how
much bone phosphate of lime it contained and
knowing exactly how much Of these substances are
contained in Peruvian guaRo and the various other
fertilizers which had been fully tried, it was no
matter of doubt as to its value, for were just as
certain that it could not fail, as we were certain
that tobacco plant could not grow from grain
of corn; in either case there would be a miracle
After ten years of the study and prosecution of
this business, we attach far more Importance to
proper inspection, as a means of ascertaining
value, than trial" by one or twenty persons,
for in the one case you have exact value, while in
the other, it is only approximate.
Discovering the great value of the cargo of Pa
ci6e guano we had stored away, we at once called
the attention of our customers to it, though the
spring season was far advanced, and farmers were
supplied A number, however, procured small
supplies.
We also appraised the Pacific Guano Company
of the great Importance to the country of their en-
terprise and made it stipulated condition of our
agency that every cargo of Pacific Guano con-
signed to US, must be rigidly inspected, as we
could not consent to sell to our customers any
fertilizer, without first positively knowing its
value, and also having it within our power to shOW
them its value also. The company cheerlully ac-
quiesced in these conditions regardless of the ex.
pense incurred thereby, which amounts to nc
insignificant sum.
Being thus fortified and protected ourselves, and
being able thus also to give positire assurance as
to results to our customers, we sold, the first fall
Of it's introduction to this market four eGrgoes O
Pacific guano.

THE DELEGATES FROM MASSACHUSETTS,

such IS the announcement made in the
JEFF Davis Convention, and many of our
readers will ask, "Who are these distin-
suished gentlemen ?" We can ipform
them. The Massachusetts, man is ore
Gen. Couch, who had command of the
Pennsylvania Militia during the rebel
raid in this State, aud who at that time
retired very suddenly, with large BODY
Of infantry, from Chambersburg. so that
a few rebel cavalry might burn the town,
and who after he arrived in Harrisburg,
had a train Of cars with locomotive al.
taehed and steam up standing ready for
whole week in the Lebanon Valley depot
awaiting the arrival of his rebel friends
in Harrisburg, thus toenable him to leave
very suddenly and give the invader pos
session Of the town. The rebels didn't
get quite here. Gen. Couch retired to
the shades of Massachusetts, where be
ran as the Copperhead candidate for Cow
ernor last fall and received less votes than
any other man Of that stripe ever polIed
in that State. lie has now turned up as
delegate to a convention Of his own
rebel friends and makes himself ridicu-
lous by walking arm in arm with the rebel
Gov. Orr of South Carolina. A better
pair Of rebels could not have met on that
interesting occasion. Can't some Of our
Philadelphia friends inform US if Gen.
Couch had his pants stuck in his boots
and spurs on.

THE JEWESSES.

fontanes asked Chateaubraind eff he
could assign reason why the women OF
the Jewish race were so much handsomer
than the men ?" To which Cha.eaubraind
gave the following pOetical and Christian
one:
"The Jewesses have escaped the curse
which alighted upon their fathers, hus-
bands aad sons. Not Jewess was to be
seen among the crowd of priests and rab-
bic who insuited the Son of God, scourg-
ed Him, crowned Him with thorns, and
subjected Him to ignominy and the agony
of the cross The women of Judea be-
leved in the Savior, and assisted and
soothed Him under Affections. A woman
of Bethany poured on His head precious
ointment. which she kept in vase Of ala
baster. The sinner annointed His feet
with perfumed oil, and wiped them with
her hair. Christ, on his part, extended
His mercy to the Jewesses. He raised
from the dead the son of the widow OF
Main, aud Martha's brother, lazarus
He cured Simon's mother-iu-la law, and the
women who touched the hem Of His gar
meut. To the Samaritan women be was
a spring of living water, and compas-
siona;e judge to the women in adultry.-
The daughters Of Jerusalem wept over
Him-the holy women accompanied Him
to Calvary, brought balm and spices, and
weeping, sought Him in TIE sepalcher.-
Women, why weepest thou?' His first
appearance, after His resurrection, was to
Mary Magdalene. He said to her Mary
At the sound of His voice Mary Nagda-
lene's eyes were opened, and she answer
ed, Master The reflection of some
very beautiful ray must have rested on
the Brow Of the Jewesses.

SOCIAL WINE DRINKING.

The Christian Secretary gives the fol-
lowing graphic illustration Of .he terrible
results often arising from social indul-
gencc in the wine cup:
At an Episcopal convention, discuss
ion on temperance brought up the ''wine
question" A part of the clergy advo-
Gated its entire disuse and part took the
other side At length an influential cler
gyman arouse and made vehement argu-
ment in favor of wine, 9enoancing the
radical reformers for attempting 20 Danish
this token of hospitality from use. When
he had resumed his seat, layman, trem-
bliug with emotion, rose and asked if it
was allowed for him to speak. The Chair
having signifed that he would be heard
he said {:
"Nr Moderator, it is not my purpose,
in rising. to answer the learned argument
YOU have Just listened to- My object i.

| once knew father in moderate ciroum-
stances, who was at much inconvirience
to educate beloved son at college Here
this son became dissipated; but after he
had graduated and returned to his father,
the influence of home, acting upon gen.
erous nature, actually reformed him. The
father was oyerjoyed at .be prospect that
his cherished hopes of other days were
still to be realized. Several years passed,
when the young man, having completed
his professional study, and being about to
leave his father to establish himself in
business, was invited to dine with neigh
boring clergyman, distinguished for his
hospitality and social qualities. At this
dinner wine was introduced, and offered
to this young man, who refused pressed
upon him, and again refused. This was
repeated, and the young man ridiculed
fer his peculiar abstinence. The young
man was strong enough to overcome ap-
petite but he could not resist ridicule--
He drank, and fell, and from that moment
became a confirmed druukard, and long
since has found drunkard's grave.

man, with streaming eyes, II am that

A YOUNG LADY'S REASONS FOR NOT
DANCING.

l. Dancing would lead me into crowd

and permit freedom with the other sex,
which believe to be wrong.
4. My parents and friends would be
anxious about me ii I were out late, keep
ing company with they know not who.
8. Ministers and good people general,

not safe to set myself against them if a
thing be even doubtful | wish to be on
the safe side.
6. Dancing has a bad name, aud mean
to study things that are pure, lovely and

FALLANDIGHAM HAS AT LENGTH GOT
HIS PRICEl

The President has had a rough time
dispensing his patronage, first, to get
dough faces into the Rebel. johnson Con-
vention; and second, to keep noisy North
ern sympathizers with treason out Of that
assemblage. The patronage of the post
Offices and custom houses was used with
lavish hand to secure men Of seeming
patriotism to act as delegates. 1t was ex-
pected that in purchasing men to degrade
themselves to this service the trouble
would end. But in this, Rebel johnson
finds he was mistaken. he must now
use the patronage of the State depart
ment to cajole abnoxious customers ike

Dey- The following shows how gutta
percha is obtained: The gum is obtained
from the trees when they are about thirty
years old. The natives of the Maiayan
peninsula and Borneo, obtain it by the
destruction Of the trees. Attempts have
been made to induce them to procure the
sap BY tapping, but the coagulation Of
the gum as the apertures, by exposure to
the atmosphere, makes it difficult to OBJ
tain it in paying quantities. The natives
boil the mass in water to soften in, cut it
into stri.es, and then knead it with theft
feet while plastic, forming it into cakes.

WHAT ANDREW JOHNSON SAID IN 1850

In the United States Senate December
10, 1860, Andrew Johnson, Senator
from the State o! Tennessee, said:
& believe we have the power in our
owl hands, and l am not willing to
shrik from the responsibility of exercis-
ingIthat power. i x * *** I am
for ibiding by the Constitution, and in
abiding by it want to mairtain and re-
tainmy place here and put down Mr..
Liroln and drive back his advances upon
Sothern institutions, if be designs to
maie any. Have we not got the brakes
in 'ur hands? Have we not got the
poyer? We have. Let South Carolina
senl her Senators back !; let all the Sen
atos come and on the 4th of March
nett we shall have majority Of six
against him. This sectional candidate,
who is in minority Of million, or
pearly SO, on the popular vote, cannot
{ axe his Cabinet on the 4th of March
next unless this Senate will permit him.
Am | to be so great coward as TO re.
treat from duty? | will stand here and
resist all encroachments and advances
Here is the place to stand Shall | de-
sert the citadel and let the enemy come
and take possession :? No. Can Mr..
Lincoln send a foreign minister, or even
consul, abroad, unless he receives the
sanction Of the Senate Can he appoint
a postmaster, whose salary is over ST 600
a year, without the consent OF the Sen
ate +! Shall We desert our posts, shrink
from our responsibilities, and permit Mr.
Lincoln to come with his cohorts, as we
consider them, from the North, and carry
away everything p
The above was a truthful illustration
Of the powers of Congress over the Pres
ident N 1860, it will apply with equal
force at the present time. If Congress
could restrict the power of President
Lincoln IN 1900, it can exercise ike re-
strictions over President johnson in 1860.
Does President johnson hold the same
doctrine no'c, that be applied to Presi-
dent Lincoln then, that he cannot. as
President of the United States, send a
Foreign minister abroad or appoint a
Postmaster whose salary is over $1,000 Z
year, without the consent of the Senate
ofthe United States? Not by any means,
What he proclaimed as the law at that
time, he now disdainfully tramples under
his feet, and usurps powers which no pre-
vious President ever exercised. or attemp-
ed to exercise. He not only removes
good and true men from Office, but insults
the Senate Of the United States. and
through it the entire country, by reap.
pointing men to Office who have time and
again been rejected by the approving pow
er of the government When will the
country become fully aroused TO the enor-
nifty of the conduct Of this man whom
we are compelled to recognize as our Pres
ident?
