We were not aware until We read
the foregoing, that "Charles'' had at
tached nm itinerant photograph artist

proceeding seems little novel, but we
suppose he is going to adopt the late
dodge Of trying to increase his sub

to each additional cash subscriber, at
fifty cents year. If he sends the
likeness Of the editor, his success is
assured. We hope dif6dence will not
prevent his appropriating this means
Of embalming both his beauty and his
name in the remembrance Of his CRATE

In the meantime we beg leave to
say that r. I. Smith, so well and ia

TIE BALLARD PAVEMENT.

Inspector Lucas commenced yesterday
morning the work of laying the Ballard pave
ment In King street, between Wentworth and
Hasel. The road bed of the street was fret
graded, 30 that the middle was considerably
higher than the edges, aud then carefully
raked 10 obtain perfectly even surface, upon
which the peculiarly shaped blocks composing
the pavement were laid. These blocks are
about six inches long, six Inches deep, and
four inches thick at lhe bottom, tapering of
to about three inches thickness at the top.
The blocks are grooved aud tongued near the
base, to make them flt closely and firmly to.
gether. When laid down In proper posi-
tIon the upper surface OF the pavement
presents series of narrow grooves or crew
icee, which run transverse 10 the length of
the street. These crevlces are filed with
small pebbles, and coating Of pitch s then
spread over the whole surface. The distance
between Wentworth aud Hasel streets is
about one hundred yards. About thirty feet
of that distance was paved yesterday. and 1t
is calculated that the work of paving the
whole will be completed 10 the course of one
week. The price OF the pavement is 81 25 per
square yard, which will make the piece In
King street cost about s2500. The general
agent of the Ballard Pavement Company for
this State ia Mr.. Frederick Lucas, son of the
inspector. The machinery for cutting the
blocke has been brought out from New York
by Mr.. Lucas and put up at Mallonee's Planning
Mills, on Washington street.

FORCING TIE COTTON CROP.

A Close Estimate OF the Probable Eff
feet OF the Increased Use OF Ferttlt-
1ers.
To- TIE EDITORS OF THE NkWS.
In this mornings Issue of yoLc valuable
journal you furnish statement of the con-
sumption of fertilizers, showing the rapid ex-
tension OF lheic use, and suggesting 10 the
planters and farmers, each for himself, TO es-
innate the effect upon his crop for the present
year. Very wild and loose estimates have
been made regarding the increased produc-
ton, and It is highly desirable that reliable
approximate calculation be made of the aver
age increase per acre, which will be infu-
enced OF course by the contingencies OF the
seasons and visitation OF insects.
I will give you what think will be regard
ed by most well-iniormed parties as fair
estimate of the result. AS near as can esll-
mate, the whole amount of fertilizers used In
cotton lands In small portion OF Virginia, In
North and South Carolina and Georgia, and
very small portion of Alabama, will not ex-
ceed $4,000 tons, Including Peruvian guano,
which, after wastage, &C., will be used to
manure say, OF acres 10 the ton, 100000
acres Without fertilizers, under our old sys-
TEN of labor. 1t was admitted that one bale
to two acres has been considered good crop.
Now let us say that the use Of fertilizers will
double this crop. (which is a much larger
average than I think 1t will accomplish and
we have on this basis an increase In produc-
ton to the extent of 100000 bales from the
use of fertilizers; but, If we say that their use
only increaset the crop three-fourlhs, which,
In my opinion, Ia nearer the average than any
other figures, It will give an Increase OF 2l0,-
600 bales.
When 1t Is remembered that few or no fer
tIlizers are used west of the Tcmblgbee River,
It will be seen that their great value Is con-
fined to the States above mentioned, as they
enable the planters and farmers In more
healthy section of country to compete with
the products OF the rich lands south and west
of the Tombigbee River.
send you the foregoing observations,
