capital point for guano advertise
ment, even if truth does compel us to
express some doubt whether Mr. Dick
son and our Georgia friends will en-
dorse the statement.
Having thus frankly told its readers
what it knew about cotton planting
and fertilizers, our Philadelphia cotcm-
porary thus discourseth:
The great staples OF the South have
ever been invaluable to the commerce
of the Republic, and too much stimu-
liant cannot be given to their increased
production. It is upon the export of
these raw materials that we largely de-
pend for the payment of balances due
on our enormous impOrtations of for
eign goods, and it is the more desira-
BILE that these staple products should
be increased at this time, in view of
the immense magnitude to which the
foreign trade has swollen.
If this statement is true, and it Ger
tainly is true, the hatred of our North
ern brethren to Secession, and their
devotion to the old Flag, is easily
understood. OF course the man who
would dare to take away from the
Universal Yankee Nation, the raw
materials upon which it largely
depends for the payment of the enor-
nous balances against it, must be a
traitor and a rebel. OF course
The poor "nigger in the fence is a
small matter and worth nothing in
"of'' years like the present. We make
no apology for using stable slang. A
people who have Grant for President
can stand any amount of horse talk.
Cotton is King once more, at least in
''off'' years; and guano is his throne.

SAN SALVADOR ANDITS EARTH
OVJAKES.

Disasters, like crime, sometimes APP
pear to assume the form of epidemics.
The public are just losing sight OF the
fearful accident in the North Atlantic,
whereby hundreds of valuable lives
were lost, and now the news of a new
horror comes to them from the regions
of the Equator, announcing the de-
struction, by an earthquake, of San
Salvador, the capital of the Central
American Republic of that name. 1t
is said that eight hundred persons
persisted, and twelve millions Of dollars
worth of property were destroyed.
After the earthquake had done its
work, confagration broke out, and
many buildings We're consumed, in
creasing greatly the suffering and
misery caused by the original dis
aster.
The city of San Salvador is situated
near the south base of the volcano of
San Salvador It was founded by
Jorge de Alvarado in 1923, at place
about six leagues north of it's present
site, called Las Bermudas, and was re
moved to the present spot it now occu-
pies in 1889. Under the crown it was
the capital of the province, and after
wards of the Republic of Central
America until it's dissolution in 1889.
In 1858 it contained about thirty thou
sand inhaitants, large and beautiful
cathedral, eight other churches, 4 uni
versity, a female seminary, several
hospitals, and two considerable aque-
ducts for supplying the city with
water. Its trade was large and in
creasing. On the night of April 10th,
1854, just nineteen years ago to-mor-
night, it was almost completely de-
stroyed by an earthquake, and about |
one hundred lives were lost. A |
new city was laid out by the Gov
eminent nearer the sea, and called
Nuevo San Salvador; but SO large a
portion of the inhabitants preferred to ]
rebuild their ruined houses, that in
j January, 1856, the Legislature rein
stated the old city as the seat of gov
eminent. In the year 1869 also the
city was nearly destroyed by
an earthquake. The population of she
city before this latest disaster is said
to have been eighteen thousand souls.
It was, we believe, to the Republic
OF San Salvador that President Grant .
desired to send Ex-Governor Holden
as a representative of the United States
Government shortly sitter his election t
from Office in North Carolina. If we {
mistake not, Henry A. Badham, ESD, a +

No, that would not do, for that would

A Romance of the Great Wreck -
How William EIanfield Won and
Lost His Bride.

Lost His Bride.
The New York Sun, describing the
scenes at Castle Garden after the arri-
val of the survivors of the Atlantic
disaster, says:
Seated before bright stove, which
burned in the middle of the room, was
dark, slightly built young man, with
his foot and arm swathed in bandages
He was one of the few who escaped
from the after Storage. And his story
is one of the saddest vet told. About
three years ago VIM. Glantield was en-
ployed as a mason in Devonshire, and
he was engaged to be married, but he
was not prosperous, and the wedding
was deferred from time to time. At
length Glanfield determined to cast his
fortune in the New World, and renew
ing their VOWS,
THE YOUNG COUPLE SEPARATED.
In Chicago Glanfield found album
dance of employment, and rapidly
saved money. Shortly after the fire
he found himself able to return to
England and claim his bride. For
three long years tie young Devonshire
girl had never wavered in her devo-
ton to her absent lover, and on his
return she joyfully became his wife,
and IL fortnight atterward the newly
welded pair set sail in the ill-fated
Atlantic for America, taking numer-
Gus articles with which to keep house:
three boxes containing plated ware,
linen, and other things for the equip
ment of their home in Chicago. When
the vessel struck the rock Glantield
had been lying awake for half an hour;
his young wife, who was sleeping by
his side, awoke and he told her they
had come to anchor in Halifax harbor.
A few moments afterward some one
shouted that the ship was on the rocks,
| and Mrs. Glantield asked lrer husband
| to go on deck, and see what was the
| matter.
A YOUNG WIFE LOST
He accordingly assembled the COM
panion ladder and gained the deck, lit
tie thinking he had looked his last upon
his wife. On his attempting to re-en-
ter the cabin he found the water pour
ing in SO fast as to render his return
! impossible. No hope remained for the
doomed passengers below, and, almost
distracted, Glanfield assembled the hur-
ricane deck, and to save himself from
