Pressure from Without. "

From the Stats Zeitung, the German Dem
ocratic organ of New York, we make the fol-
lowing extract
Gas we have said, we attach only prospec-
tive value to the present rebellion in the Re
publican ranks. When the opposition, which
heretofore the Democratic party has represen-
ted, assumes form into which it will be posi-
BILE to absorb the disconnected Republican ele-
ments, then only will begin the practical value
Of the anti-Grant movement which has devel-
oped itself in the Republican party; and if
this condition is not fulfilled. then the move
ment will go out like FIRE Of straw 1t seems
to u.s. after the experiences of recent years, and
especially after our last experiences, to be rref
utable, that the Republican party will be ire
sistibly held together by pressure from with
out-and the Democracy forms this pressure.
Is it determined to perform this function

Deaths icy fingers rest upon thee now
Still beauty fingers on thy pallid brow.
Gone gone, loved one,
Gone to thy tomb
But it's not cherries
Hope dispes the gloom
While we are weeping
Ger the hallowed ground
Thou art but sleeping
Till the trumpet shall sound
Gone gone, loved one,
Gone to the blest,
Earth had its pleasures,
But twas not thy rest;
Sin and tenn ptation
Were thy sorrows here,
Then full salvation
Is thy portion there.

Gilham's Tobacco Fertilizer
OLD DOMINION FERTILIZER.
A nur


AND THE
OLD DOMINION FERTILIZER,
MANUFACTURED BY THE
Southern Fertilizing Company.
RICHMOND, VA.
COL. VIM. GILLIAN, PRIEST s. CHEMIST
These fertilizers are made of the best materi-
ais, after the formula, and under the personal
supervision of Col. Gillian, for many years Pro-
fessor of Chemistry and Agriculture in the Vir-
GINA Military Institute. The hiqh standard IS,
therefore, absolutely guaranteed. His work has
been tested in all quarters of this State and
North Carolina, where concentrated manures
are used, during the past five years, and not
withstanding bad seasons, it has received the un-
qualified approval of our people. Where the
land is deficient generally in the clements neces-
sary to produce wheat, the Tobacco Fertilizer
has acted admirably. Where it is in good enough
heart to bring straw, the s'Old Dominion will
make the wheat.
The following letters are appended
AUGUSTA Co., VA, Aug. 31st. 1871.
Capt. Geo. E. Price, Ag't Stau,ston. va.
Dominion, Fertilizer I bought of you last fall
for all the wheat / raised. l applied it on the
thinest part of my land, and had a fair crop in
spite of the bad season. On my best land, I'M
fertilized, the wheat was not cut, because 1T was
not worth it. Yours Truly,
e. A. FULCHER.
LOUISA Co. Ho., June 9th, 1871.
Co.. Vim. Gilman, Pres't Southern FertiliSimg
Co.. Richmond:
swer to your enquiries to the effect of your
Tobacco Fertilizer on the wheat crop. | have
used it the last two seasons, and should do you
Injustice if 1 did not voluntarily tender my I'M
qualified testimony in its favor. l consider it
the best Wheat Fertilizer in the market, and am
especially pleased with its effect upon the Clio
yer. Ny wheat last year not only yielded we'll,
but was of most excellent quality commanding
an extra price. The present crop is pronounced
by all who have seen it, one of the finest in this
section, and is remarkably healthy in its appear
anee being entirely free from disease, well filed
and uniformly heavy. But for my failure in
plants, I should have used it upon Tobacco this
season. My experience with it has only been
upon the wheat crop, and [ am entirely satisfied
that your Tobacco Fertilizer is not only an hon.
est preparation but that it contains all the ele-
ments needed to make O wheat crop. l shall
use it next Fall more largely than ever before,
and cordially recommend my friends and the
farming community to try it upon wheat and
clover have used it by the side of good land,
