These Bonds were issued by these counties,
severally, to aid said company in the con-
struction of their road. They. are known TO
be five of the wealthiest counties in either the
State of Alabama or Mississippi. Having
suffered but little by the ravages of the late
war, they owe no floating debt, and possess n
large taxable property, and the Bonds now
offered constitute their only bonded debt.
They are all eight per cent. Coupon, Bonds,
and pay their interest seml-annually at tho
office of the Company, OF in New YORK. Inc
taxes have been already assessed in all the
counties TO meet the interest and provide u
sinking fund for their redemption. These
taxes have been regularly collected, and the
interest in every case promptly paid. GUAR
dians and courts interested with the moneys
Of orphans. can find no securities safer and
more profitable. and capitalists seeking to
make permanent investments can do no bet
ter than TO purchase them. The Company
will dispose Of them at such rates rs viii
make them n paying ten per cent invest
ment; aud when the Bond is paid, the pur-
chaser will receive twenty-five per cent. ad-
ditiOnal on the original outlay. Stocks in
companies always depend on their manage
ment and good fortune for their regular divi-
dends. The income from the Bonds is GER
tain, regular more reliable, and, in most in

Potash.


This is a very valuable ma
nure. At the present price of
agricultural products it is cal
culated to be worth seven cents
perpound as manure. Hereto
fore it has been generally OBJ
tanned from wood ashes, and
always commanded a price too
great, to be used for this pur-
pose. But now valuable min
eral deposits of it have been
discovered. In Prussia the
Government made some arte-
sian borings, in order to discov-
er rock salt, and a very impor-
tant discovery was made, OF
salt, magnesia and potash. The
salt is in much the greatest
quantity, but on top of it was
found several feet of a mixture
of salt and sulphate of magne-
STA, and potash. This mixed
substance is now being sold in
the Atlantic cities at forty-five
dollars per ton. 1t derives its
value as manure mainly from
the potash it contains, which is
about a sixth part. 1t is very
valuable on light lands, but the
price is, as yet, far too high tc
make it profitable to the farm,
er.
What a variety of commercial
manures are we getting! Qua
