FATAL DUEL IN SAVANNAH.

The usual quiet Of the city yesterday
was seriously disturbed by tho announce
ment that duel had been fought in the
vicinity Of the city, at 7 o'clock a. m.
between two we'll known gentlemen. It
was not until later hour, half past
ten, that the affair was fully made known
by the fact one of the principles, Mr..
Ludlow Cohen, was brought to the city,
and to his residence, wounded fatally in
the encounter.
The principals to this fatal affair were
Captain Richard F. Aiken, gentleman
we'll known in tho community, and Mr..
Ludlow Cohen, merchant of the city
equally we'll known, and both of them
highly esteemed and respected. We are
unable to state tho causes leading to
this "code," except from universal re.
port, which bases the difficulty upon a
private quarrel between the two gentle.
men named, which could not, it seems,
be adjusted without a resort to the
field.
The gage Of the battle was thrown
down by Mr. Aiken and readily accepted
by Mr.. Cohen. Between six and seven
o'clock, Thursday evening, the parties
accompanied by their respective seconds,
few friends, and two surgeons, pro-
ceeded to DR.. Reeds plantation, five
miles from the city, on the Augusta
road, and at six o'ofook yesterday morn.
ing they repaired to the field selected
for the fight. 9
The ground was staked of, the
distance, twelve PAGES, measured, and
the principals and seconds took their
respective places, the latter loading and
placing into tho hands Of their prinoil
pals the weapons, regular old !, 'style
duelling pistols, smooth bore, ths oaubrs

FREIGHT REDUCED.

We beg to direct the attention of all
Interested to the reduced rates of freight
to and from Charleston, as advertised by
Mr. S. S. SoLoMoNs, Superintendent
Of tho the North Eastern Rail Road, on
another column. In order to reach these
low rates, Mr.. SoLoMoNs carries the
freight over his own Road at nominal
figures. 1t brings down the expense
to about fair charge, were there but
one road traversed, and renders the
Charleston market accessible to our peo
ple.

BEST DEPTH TO Sow WHEAT.-In the An
nual Register of Rural Affairs of 1869, pub
lished by Luther Tucker & Son, Albany, N.
Y. and edited by that well known agriculturist
J. j. Thomas, we find record of an interest.
ing series of experiments in wheat sowing, OF
which the following are the results: Planted
half an inch deep, the plants came up In i've
days; planted one inch deep, the plants cane
up 10 six days; planted two inches deep, the
plants came up in seven days; planted three
inches deep, the plants came up IN elght days
planted four inches deep, the plants came up
10 ten days; Tanted six inches deep, the p'an''
came up in twelve days roon.
Five weeks afterward, there was no pcioep
tibIe difference in that planted hal1 an inou
deep; that planted two inches deep was was noo
quite 50 good, so on decreasing IN quallty as
the depth of planting inoreaTsea. as i I osop
~ shallow and deep planting becomes less
ohvious. so that once inch and three inch plant
inc arc not greatly different in their results,
Though the deeper planting is Little later In
ripening, and is hardly SO productive. For
this reason wheat planted with good drill on
we'll prepared and rolled land, where it may
be put in with great evenness, ripens more uni
formly, and brings rather better return than
wheat sown broadcast and covered with har'
row at different depths. For the same reason
twenty-five per cent. in seed is saved by using
the drill. That il, bushel and half per
acre will answer the same purpose if properly
drilled in, as two bushels sown broadcast and
narrowed. In a light, loose soil, the depth
may be greater than in one more hoavy and
compact. A greater depth is required during
lime of severe drouth than when tho soil has
q good supply of moisture. As general ave-
rage depth of two inches is enough. One
inch would be better ifthe soil were sufficiently
moist; but it is difficult to get drill so as to
DEPOSIT the seed uniformly so shallow.

PACIFIC GUANO.

COLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO.
Improved in
QUALITY AND CONDlTICN.
The quality of this Gusno is materially i'm
proved this season by the addition to its COM
position of large per cent of tho
SALTS OF POTASH.
It's improved in condition by hoing brought
into market sufficiently dry and uniformly fine
to pass with fecility and regularity through tho
orifcos Of the
WHEAT DRILL.
More than 81 ZOO, 600 is involved in the pro-
duction Of this Guano, and tho trade in it has
steadily increased, until now it far exceeds that
of any other fertilizer.
The Pacific Guano Company has a far greater
interest in tho maintenance Of the quality Of its
Guano than any number of consumers can
have; hence no apprehension need exist as to its
continued excellence.

TELLS A M M lated
BONE
SUPER PHOSPHATE.

The best and most popular Fertilizer in use.
Quick and active as Peruvian Guano, and
permanently improves the soil.
It stands tho drought better than any other
Fertilizer, which is very important to tho far
mer.
It is manufactured of Bones, Animal Matter
and a rich Phosphate Gusno, containing over
sixty per cent. of Bone Phosphate of Lime,
treated with Sulphuric Acid, and 10 to 10 per
cent Bone Phosphate of Lime rendered solu-
BILE; at the same time rendered quick in its &C.
ton by the addition of over 2 per cent of Am
monia.
This superior Phosphate has now been tested
for over FIVE years, on sll kinds of crops by the
side of all known Fertilizers, proved equsl! to
the best and has given all the general sstisfac-
ton that could be desired.
For this valuable Fertilizer we only ask q
trial side by side with any Fertilizer in the
market to attest its superiority.
Evory farmer should give it q trial, as the
cost will be more than repaid the first year, and
its beneficial effects lasting.
For Corn, Oats, Wheat, Ryo or Grass, it has
no superior.
Zells Phosphate is fine and dry for drilling,
and is put up in bags or barrels.
Price $50 per ton of 1000 lbs
Send for circular, and read the certificates
of some of tho best farmers in Virginia who
attest it's superiority over all other Fortilizors.

EXCELSIOR is composed Of 700 pounds OF
No. Peruvian Guano, and 1900 pounds of Sol
uole Phosphate Of Limo Clones dissolved in
| sulphuric acid,) potash and soda, forming the
| most concentrated universal ana durable fer
tilizer ever offered to the farmer bining all
and the ever durable tertilizing properties of
Ground Bones-supplyingan abundance of Am.
| monie for any crop. and all soils, and in per-
| tectly fixed condtion-not volatile and passin z
off with the first crop, as with Peruvian and
other ammonlacal guanos, but stimulating the
| crop to which is is applied, and all succeeding
ones. giving TO poor, worn out and unproduct-
i've soils new life and vigor, making them, 10
this respect, equal to the most highly cult
waited lands, upon which much time and money
have beer expended.
EXCELSIOR as introduced in 1853 and we

tilzers, natural or artificial Guano, to show re-
suits SO invariably successful as can be shown
from its use. One of the PROPR1ETORS SU-
PERINTENDS IN PERSON EVERY MIN

by analysis the standard of fertilizing proper
ties, giving that protection to the farmer which
he does not have III the purchase Of any other
Guano or Fertilizer sold.
Excelsior is in fine dry powder, prepared ex-
pressly for drilling, and can be applied in any
quantity per acre, however small; and it is the
opinion Of the most prominent and calculating
farmers, after TWELVE years experience in
testing it side by side with other popular fertl-
sior is equal to 200 to 300 pounds of any other
Fertilizer or Guano offered for sale and there.
fore is fully 100 to 200 per cent cheaper.
He-The very best evidence we can offer of
tho value of Excelsior as crop grower and
fertilizer, is the fact of its being initiated and
counterfsited. Some unprincipled manufac-
turers have actually used the trade mark for
the purpose of palming off their worthless COM
pounds.
