| TIME SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO, resem-
i bles Peruvian Guano in appearance, odor,
and composition. The value OF all Guanos and
| Super Phosphates of lime, Of whatever name,
depends, as is well known, upon the per cent.
| of ammonia, Soluble Phosphate, and Bone Phos-
phate of Lime they contain. This Guano diff
| fers from Peruvian only in The fact that it con-
tains less Ammonia, but this difference in Am
monia is more than made up by the fact that
| it contains almost double as much Soluble, and
| Bone Phosphate of Lime This difference
makes it durable fertilizer, with all the activ
| ity of Peruvian Guano. Although the price of
| this Guano is only one-half the price of Peru
Wan, and is not higher than the Super Phos-
pilates of Lime, yet it contains, as is proven by
| ANALYSIS and inspection, vastly more of ammo
MIA, soluble and Bone Phosphate, than is found
| in the best of them. Hence its economy and
intrinsic value must render itan objectof great
interest to farmers generally.
WE WISH FARMR S
Mas-TO TAKE ESPECIAL NOTICE,
That the conditions upon which we have the
agency Of this Guano are that every cargo is
regularly inspected and analysed by DR.. LEI
BIG, whose authority in such matters is para
mount.
This arrangement affords us and consumers
protection not had in the purchase of fertiliz-
ers generally. 1t must also be noticed that the
phosphates of this Guano, are not mineral, but

A RESPONSE,


Most respectfully addressed to /" p" in the
Standard Of the End current
MY DEAR P.-You have selected favora-
Bile letter Us your nom de- Ptapse, and ever
since read your communication, have
been guessing and guessing and sll to no use.
Some times Pd think stands for plucky,
and that is pucky letter q don't mean the
the simple monagraph) If the Stundayd
contained more of such it would improve in
circulation. / thought the P might be for
Philos, friend, and was thinking the cor
respondent was giving some friendly hints to
our good friend of the Standard as to the
course he should adopt. And lastly. guess
ed the P might stand for Paddy, and was
inclined to this opinion, it was so boldly and
defantly written. But conjectures apart
NY object for the present is to make known
to you, friend P, that your voice shall not be
heard alone, it finds an echo in every true
Union breast in the State, and so long as the
Standard extends to such correspondents the
courtesy of its columns; 1 for one shall not
complain. Hoping to hear from you and all
Others who approve of your Radical" sen
timents, and that we shall make an effort to
have our State represented in the approach
ing Radical Convention, l am, my dear 7,
your friend and brother.

Ex-Governor Holden.

We take pleasure in stating, on the au-
thOrity of those who are best qualified to
know, that the refusal on the part of. the
Senate to confirm the nomination Of ex -Gov-
ernor Holden, of North Carolina, as Minis
ter to San Salvador, proceeded from no dis
trust Of his loyalty or fitness for the place
but that it was dictated solely by regard
to the existing laws and resolutions of Con-
gress, under which the appointee could not
have the office. The test oath, enacted in
1852, is a part of the public law of the land,
and no man can enter upon the exercise of
an office until he has taken and subscribed
it in due form. The amendment to the Con-
stitution recently proposed by Congress,
though not yet ratified, would seem, never
thelcss, to bind the body which proposes it,
IN morals at least, and that also excludes all
who have in any way been compromised
with the rebellion, until they shall have been
relieved by two thirds vote of Congress-
1t is understood that Governor Holden,
though at no time in sympathy with the re-
belllon, was, under pressure of circum-
stances little short of dursss, compelled to
subscribe the ordinance of secession, as was
the late venerable and distinguished Mr..
/ Badger. They canvassed the county of Wake
in company, in the spring of 1851, as can
diddates for the Convention, and were triun-
phantly elected as the opponents of secess-
ion; but, at the last moment, after blood
was spilled, and the torrent of popular pas
sions overwhelmed all obstacles, they we're
compelled to yield, like thousands of other
loyal men, in the hope that, by acquiescing
in what seemed inevitable, they might guide
the ship Of state into some secure haven.
The fact is well understood among Sena-
tors and Representatives in Congress that
Governor Holden was thorn in the side of
the rebellion; and that though, like nearly
all men who dwelt in the South during the
war, he was unable to preserve consistent
record IS a Unionist, he gave the cause Of
secession and rebellion no more aid and com
fort than imperative circumstances required,
while the rebels themselves regarded and
treated him as their enemy.
Whenever the South shall accept the con-
stitutional amendment we think that all men
Of the stamp of Mr. Holden, and all Others
who give evidence of sincere loyalty, will be
relieved from the disabilities under which
they now labor. None Others ought to ex-
pect relief. Washington Chronicle.

4 friend IN the Cape Fear country writes

US as follows: 81
/" You have no doubt heard Of the seces-
sion love feast in the shape Of q Convention.
which was held somewhere recently in this
district, for the purpose of sending delegates
to the Philsdelphia Convention. The peo-
pie in this locality never heard Of such q
meeting until after its adjournment. Thos.
s. Ashe and A. Mclean were appointed del
egates. Such men cannot represent the Union
people of this district"
With the exception of one or two dele
gates thus far appointed from this State,
who are not themselves specially fitted to
speak for our Union people, if the Philadel-
phia Convention should admit the North
Carolina delegates, that body will make
treason respectable and loyalty odious, and
will turn its back on at least thirty thousand
loyal Union men. 54i..,-

an ounce of brains" The South, he says,
will soon resume control of the country, as
before the war.

We learn that on Thursday last the people
at Hays, in this County, were addressed by
Moses A. Bledsoe, R. G. Badger, and c. j.
Rogers, Esquires. Mr.. Bledsoe spoke at
Rolesyille on Saturday, and was replied to
by Capt. ]. @. A. DeCarteret.
Mr.. Bledsoe, we learn, confined his remarks
almost entirely to the financial condition of
the State, and argued the present inability of
our people to pay the old State debt.

policy. Too much mercy, has been shown.
It has been badly abused by its recipients
Nothing but the majesty Of the law, right
fully enforced, has ever worked true peni-
tence, and brought the necessary atonement
for treason. And the sooner the rebels are
taught this lesson. the better for all parties"
Aonther friend, who writes from the same
region of the State, says:
"The election is over, and have no doubt
the new Constitution is defeated. This re-
sult is to he attributed to many causes, but
not to inherent objections to the Constitution
itself. Nearly all the "secesh" and their
well-tried allies, declared they liked the Con-
stitution well enough, but they could not
bear the men who made it. Now, when
remember how mercifully the members of the
Convention, as individuals and as collec-
tive body, have dealt with these malcontents
and traitors, and now witness their proscrip-
tive spirit and their bitterness and abuse, /
confess am amazed Had the Convention,
like Tennessee, Maryland, West Virginia, and
Missouri, have passed an act to prevent these
people from voting or holding office, there
might have heen some little excuse for their
vernon and bitterness; but it did no such
thing, but treated them just as it did the
loyal people. 1t is as much as human can
bear to hear these vipers denounclng mem
bers of the Convention as usurpers, fools,
wretches, &C., The publication of
Rufin's letter was the signal for action
against the Constitution, and its opponents,
as if primed and trained to it, raised such
yell as was never heard before. Don't vote
for it, for in six years you will get your ne
groes back" the clause prohibiting slavery,
and repudiating treasury notes. and all the
other acts of tue Convention are null and
void-Judge Ruffin says so,"-!" the Consti-
tuition was made by the so-ealled loyalists
and traitors" vote against it, for Holden,
Johnson's provisional Governor. is for it,
such were the appeals made to the people,
and they had their effect"
Aside from the injurious effect which the
rejection of the instrument will have on the
State abroad, our friend deprecates as we do
the bitterness of feeling which will be en-
gendered between the East and the West
But in demanding the white basis the West
sciU be in the right, and her loyal massess
joined to loyal minoritles elsewhere in the
State, will have it at all hazards.
1t may be, however, that the Congress,
which is to re-assemble in December next,
will settle all these matters for US, and thus
relieve us of one root of bitterness by forcing
other roots of bitterness upon US. Who can

THE Wool CRoP.-Although the product
of wool in the United States is increasing an
nually, does not as yet equal the demand for
home consumption. In 1850 we produced
GO, 1854 ,913 lbs, all of which was consumed
in our own factories. We also imported in
that year 1881, 7l9 lbs.; making the total
consumption 81, $3.50, 6s2 lbs. The product
of 1864 we have seen estimated at 80, 200, 600
lbs, or 16,745,087 lbs be. ond the consump-
ton. This would give an increased produc-
ton Of more than ae,O00, 000 lbs. in four
years, and decreased consumption of some
100000 lbs The amount imported in
1864 was, however,. 1881, sos lbs. The
greatly increased demand from the earlier
year was, Of course. attributable to the needs
of the army and navy in part. and the resi-
due to the scarcity Of cotton goods. The
army consumbed about "a, 100000 lbs. in
1869; 64,3e0000 in 1868, and similar
amount in. 1854. The consumption for the
navy and for cartridges brought up total
Of nearly 20o, 000, 900 lbs. in the last year of
the war. In 1910 the product of wool was
50 small that the Secretary of War had to
import 5000 blankets for the use Of the In
dams. The contrast of the fifty years makes
q striking item in the history Of the country.
