quantity per acre, however small and it is the
opinion of many close calculating Farmers,
after TWELVE years experience in testing it
side by side with other popular fertilizers that
an application Of 100 pounds of Excelsior is E.
quail to 200 to 800 pounds of any other fertiliz-
er or guano offered for sale, therefore is fully

vlted tho attention Of tho New York
Commissioners of Public Works to the
subject Of street pavements, and in his

to excavate the roadway to depth Of

into the earth, by passing steam roller
over II weighing thirty or forty tons,
whereby the stones become incorporated
with the earth, thereby adding TO tho so.

obtaining a nOlseless permanent roadway.

Hon. B. II, HILL lately delivered an
grafton before the alumni Of the State
University OF Georgia, in which he took
occasion to say among other things, that
"The primal cause of our failure as a
people Is thelaCt that our system OF labor
was slavery. From this, as from dis.
turbed den Of vipers, have Crawled out
the innumerable and poisoned evils that
have lamed our energies and polluted our
blood"
This seems to have wASed the thunder
of the Southern press into life. A Savan.
nah paper denies the proposition, and
condemns the enumeration "as to time, oC.
caaion and motive, Further on, however,
it deems it wise to drop the discussion
abruptly, but embraces the opportunity to

never to be permitted to suggest that the
salvation Of tho South does not lie through
negro slavery, without being denounced
as unsound. He says "If my humble
voice could be heard by the Southern
people, would urge them 10 do many |
