How TO HOLD THE FERTILITY OF THE

manure In itself, but it attracts the manure
from the atmosphere that comes in contract
with 1t (Which is abundant in windy days)
but 1t catches and holds the fertility of the
ground that In some soils escapes. Lime
Will also do this-so will clay CLAY, dried
and powdered, is an excellent thing to put
on barn-yard or to cover compost heap
with, or work through the heap-hence. we
use gypsum and lime in our stables and priv
les. Gypsum is best, it has the most attrac
ton, besides other properties. A little
should be kept by every farmer for use, even
at nigh cost, as the benefit is sometime,
more important than the high price.
But we waste our manure We not only
permit its strength to escape, but we are Glad
to get it out of the way.
The same recklessness extends to the land
1t is well our soil has good proportion Of
clay, to hold its strength. We must conserve

Charlottonians and the late Convention.

Our esteemed cotem. the Raleigh Standard,
in answer to our article the ether clay in
reference TO the standing of the citizens of
Charlotte in regard to the reconstruction
movement, and the fact that we did not.
know of any 81 rebel leaders - in this section.
and that we were all good UnioHists, says:
Il x \ * that if leaders and people of
the Charlotte section are altogether like:
three gentlemen of that city who visited
Raleigh during the session of the late con-
vention, but, under the circumstances, took
no part in its deliberations. though spprnv-
ing what it did, we shall be glad to hear it,
and will draw thence the most lively hope
that the work of reconstruction will not be-
hindereol, but aided in that part of the State
We presume the three gentlemen alluded
to are Mr.. VIM. j. Yates, (of our eotempo-
rary, the Democrat0 Col. VIM. r.. Myers,
and DIR. G. j. Fox. And we can assure our
Raleigh contemporary, that, in conversation
with our citizens generally, we have not
found one but is ready to accept the issue,
and to acquiesce in the programme as set
forth by the Raleigh convention. As for
ourself, that is the position we take We
heartily endorse all the Democrat said in its
last issue about this convention. We can
see no good in any other method, but much
harm. 1t should be the aim of our citizens
good can be accomplished, and, in our opfn-
ion, if there be contrary acts to those set
forth by the Raleigh convention, much harm
will result to our people. We want harmo
ny-we want cooperation. We want all to
combine upon the platform of the RepubE
can party, and get back into the Union.
We want our representatives in Congress;
we don't want to pay taxes and be unrepre-
sented, but we want to have voice in the
Matt onal Council That's our platform.
We must bring order out of this chaos, and
the only way that we can see for it to be
done is to acquiesce in what has been done
at Raleigh. Some eff the presses in this State
are pursuing different line, but we trust
they will find out their suicidal policy ere it
be too late. But of this we will have more
to say hereafter
Let us all act harmoniously and stay worse
measures. This is the one and the plain
duty eff every Southern man. "Choose ye
this day." ere it be too hate Charlotte Guar
dian.
The foregoing articles from the Democrat
and the Guardian reflect much credit on
those journals. Their course in this crisis is
patriotic, and is the only one which can
bring peace and prosperity TO or people,

The Danvllle Register, noticing the late Re
publican Convention in this City, says:
"This is the first mixed convention of any
magnitude that has been held in the South
- the first straight out political amalgama-
ton, in which respectable white people of
character and ability participated. There
have been meetings to be sure in other towns
and cities, whereat few obscure whites join
ed with the blacks, to give expression to
doctrines which the bulk of neither class
approved, and there have been elsewhere
promiscuous assemblages addressed by ora
tors othoth eolors; but in this convention they
deliberated and worked together, the whites
and the blacks, men who are distinguished
in North Carolina politics, alongside the re-

SOLVENT POWER OF MOVING WA
TERRI is proverb that the falling of
drops of water will hollow out stone,
but experiments lately made in Paris
have developed surprising results. Pure
water was placed in vessel containing
some feldspar, and rapid motion was
given by attaching it to the machinery
of the Imperial tobacco mandatory.
The result was that the feldspar was
rapidly deeomposed and the water be-
came alkaline, both potash and soda be-
ing discovered in it. The result is
thought to indicate novel and cheap
way to bleach linen. Salt water had
no action on the feldspar when submit
ted to this operation and a new field
ofinvestigation is opened by these ex-
periments. Biologists will draw from
It important consequences in regard to
the action of the waves Oh the rocks

The New York Tribune gives con-
densed account of the late Republican Con-
vention in this City, and adds:
Fuller accounts of the Republican State
Convention in North-Carolina show it to
have been remarkable for its Radicalism and
harmony. The delegates, of whom 100 were
white and SO solored, met on terms OF abso-
lutte equality and were equally represented
in the offices and committees The address
es made by the colored speakers were just as
good as those made by the whites, and both
were excellent. The colored speakers were
especially earnest in advocating union with
the Republican party and the resolutions call
upon every loyal man in the State to sup
port it. We hold this Convention to have
been the most important held in North
Carolina for fifty years, and its example de-
serves to be emulated by other States"
