CommercIAl Fertilizers, &c.

Last week va submitted some general thoughts
of our own on the subject Of commercial fertili-
xers-the effect Of their use upon the planter, md
consequently upon the country, &c.
We and In the "Plantation," taken from the
"Soutbern Farm and Home" a calculation in fig.
ures which puts the matter in strong point
and force. So much have We boen impressed with
the subject, that We, have transferred the article
In question to our columns; for the consideration
Of our planters. The present depression evil
IDENTIFY results from excessive use of commercial
fertilizers, increasing the amount of cotton pro
duced, and consequently reducing the price of
the staple, while leaving but little margin whom
expenses are paid. I..

Horse stealing.

Among the many classes Of theft now rife in
tho country, that of horse stealing Is not tho least
prominent. Some time ago fine animal, the
property of Mr.. JAMES NJ. JENNINGS, who resides
In the Providence 'neis ishborhoo vas taken from
the accommodation stables Of Mr.. j. r. SOLO.
Mons, of Sumter, in the broad light Of day and
thief, too, rode carelcssly along with wagon, on
tho night following the theft, and quietly stopped
for the night al NJ. BRoapoN's place, some
eight miles only from. town. This animal is still
unheard from.
Now Mr.. TuRNER DAVIS is victimized in tho
same way, as will be seen from his advertise
ment His fine hay horse was taken from the
stables Of Mr.J. B.. WHITE, on Thpriday night
last, and up to the present time, he has been
unable to recover him. ..'.-.
Our people will begin to look TO- their stables
as we'll as to their gin houses and corn cribs.

Luxurtes OF Modern Travel.


The question which to-day most forcibly
presents itself to the prospective traveller is
not SPY what line can earliest reach my
destination n for running parallel with
eact. other, the competing lines make the
same average time between their Western
and Eastern termini) out, h"By which route
can I travel with the greatest degree of
comfort and Of freedom from those annoy
ancas hitherto considered inseparabIe from
a Journey OF thousand miles or more ?''
The inquiry is easily answered. Seated
in one OF the spacious aud luXuriOusly I'm
ished DrawIng-room coaches peculiar to the
broad gauge Erie Railway, running without
change from Cincinnati, Cleveland. Dunkirk.
Buffalo and Rochester to New York, the
traveller finds lacking none OF the comforts
and conveniences CT his own home. Roomy
seats, neat Washing and Dressing rooms,
paTlors we'll ventilated and cool IN summer
warmed By steam in winter, and illuminated
by gas when night comes, attentive servants.
and view of the grandest of American see
merry, all combine to transform the formerly
slow and tedious journey into an entranclne
panorama the termination of which comes
only toe quickly to the behoider At the
Company's hotels along the line, the traveller
alights 10 refresh the inner man-eating
break fast in Ohio, dinner in Pennsylvania,
supper III New York, yet faring sumptuous-
ly and with the same regularity as it at his
own hotel or residence at home.
Sleeping coaches, well lit and ventilated,
and with clean, roomy beds, and all the
cuurenience3 Of the boudoir are attached to
each OF the three daily Express trains, guar
anteeing the traveller, delighted with the
novelties of the daylight, nights rest as
uatroubled as il in his own bed at home.
Prompt arrivals are made at ali connect
inc points, and passengers on arriving in
New York are delivered either down town
in the business center of the city, or up
town in the immediate vicinity of the lead
ing hotels and the New York and New Ha-
ven Railroad.
Tickets via this popular route caa be pGr-
chased at all princi pal Ticket 01hces through
