Oats, Peas and Cotton, in Rotation

For the several years that | have now

and, lastly, | consider one fourth OF the

preventive of an oversupply.
The cotton is mannred with all the
manure which is made by the stock on

these with two hundred pounds acid

are turned under for oats. Every sue
ceeding crop of oats is treated III the
same way. In the one followed by cot
ton, the latter gets the benefit OF the
peas. The phosphate furnishes the
suitable nourishment for the peas, anc
the turned under pea-vines furnish the
hest manure for the oats. By this pro

FLORIDA WATERMELONs
Immense shipments Bem Made 10 the
West.
Savannah ADVERTISE June 81.

Savannah Advertise, June n.
As is well known all throughout Flor
ida and Georgia, the crop OF melons in
the former state will be unprecedentedly
large, and to dispose of them protitably
has been matter of serious concern in
the eyes of all the growers, and caused
them considerable anxiety, Superln-
tendent Haines, of the Atlantic and Gulf
railroad, while down in Florida about
ten days ago, saw this difficulty, and
Immediately set to work to Semedy it,
He wrote to parties in several OF the
western cities, Offering to place water
melons in those markets by express
trains fresh and good. The idea was
Immediately taken up, several merchants
agreeing to dispose of twenty car loa''s
Ctwenty thousandD of melons per week.
Mr.. Haincs Immediately notified the
Floridians of the prospect, and they
assert that they can furnish two hun
dred car loads 1.-TWO hundred thousand)
of melons between now and the 9th OF
July.
The cars of the Gulf road not being
adapted to some of the western tracks,
the Green Line cars can alone be used,
and he has written on all sides for them.
These cars are to be partially open so
as to allow the air to pass through, and
will have painted in large letters on
their sides, "Frnit Cars A, and e..
r. r."
The FIRST train of seven cars left 1--we
Oak yesterday, and goes directly, to
Chicpgo. A second of fou,t teen cars has
gone down to load, and will leave Tues
day morning, and as many cars as can
be had will be laden with this fruit, and
be forwarded
On the 2Sth of this month mammoth
train of melons will be dispatched,
which will also take with it delegation
of the Florida fruit growers to Chicago,
who go for the purpose OF looking
around, and making this q. a permanent
business, If they can ship melons to
advantage, it is thought that other pro
ducts raised by them, forwarded in this
direction, will pay, and their effort vii
be to place matters on n permanent
basis. The melon trade, by taking TIM
outlet, will be very profitable to th'
growers, and if facilities are ollere'
there is no knowing to what extent l
will grow.

Account ot the Discoveries
The special correspondent OF the
Inter, Ocean with the scientific eXpedl'
ton in the Black Hills, at Camp Harney,
on French creek, Clusters Gulcb, under
date of June l6, sends the following
telegram via Fort Laramie to-day
Gold in large quantities and OF good
quality has been discovered IN Clusters
Gnlch on French creek, and along this
stream for distance of upward OF
seven miles toward the source. Since
my latest advices sent to you from the
expedition, the plans of the scientific
corps have been entirely changed, and
Camp Denny, on East Fork OF Beaver
creek, has ceased to be the permanent
point from which the investigation
radiatea. We were to have been
through the Hills Tuesday, June 8 but
we're delayed. Col. Dodge, with three
cavalry companies as n military escort,
left Camp Jennings for the purpose of
locating permanent camp IN some
available place in the vicinity OF
Harney's Peak. The command marc0ed
almost due north along Beaver creek !;
then northeast, when, MT the end OF
twenty eight days the march OF Clusters
trail was struck in the midst of snow
and rain. That officers line of march
was pursued in southeast direction
along Castle creek, where the first m
dications of gold were discovered. This
event induced Prof. Jennings, OF the
scientific corps, to remain III Castle
creek valley for three days, IN order to
prospect, cavalry company beng lett
with them. The place at which the
geologists camped is located 400 feet
east of the 1Oith MERIDIAN and was
named Camp Tuttle. With the remain
der Of the command Col, Dodge pro-
ceeded in southeasterIy direction
until Custer's Park was reached, and
last Monday camp was reached on

speedily panned out. This was done III
the presence of your correspondent.
The gold fever spread so rapidly that
there was hardly one in the command
who had not seen and panned out gold
From those placcrs or gulch mines
about Camp Harney for distance o.
seven miles there are scattered along
French creek four different mining

which good color has been obtained.
There are also several quartz lodes
which promise rich returns, but the
greatest stress should be placed on the
gulch gold diggings
When gold was discovered the scien-
lists were at Camp Tnttle, and only
arrived here yesterday evening. They
we're somewhat astonished at the DIS
covery. 1t is intended to make this a
permanent camp, where the command
will remain until the return of the sup
ply train from Fort Laramie.

AN EARTHQUAKE AT SEA.
E,peri,uce OF the Captain and crew "'
the SHIP iInmiiton


The ship Hamilton, of Boston, arrived
Mt New York last week from Manila
Her com mander, Capt. Ross, states that
at 3 Il. m. on June 4, when IN latitude
10 deg, 1G min, longitude 81 deg, 81
pin., all on board felt the shock OF an
earthquake, which lasted fully 10 MIN
utes. During this tire there was a
heavy sea running, and IN different
places the wat, r appeared to revolve III
circles like whirlpool. When the dis
turbance first began the sea was quite
smooth, but rs the shock increased IN
violence the waters became correspond
jngly agitated, terrif ing those who were
on deck and arousing those who were
sleeping below. Suddenly the vessel
received shock, as if she had grounded,
and peculiar rumbling noise filled the
air. simultaneously with the shaking,
the sky assumed dark, leaden hue.
The atmosphere was also thick and
hazy. During the continuance OF the
shock, control of the vessel was COM
pletely lost, and the ship refused to
obey the helm. There was little, II any,
wind at the time, yet the vessel was
to ,aed about as though i'll the midst OF
gale.
The captain Describes the npheavine
Of the waves as similar to what woulo
occur if series of heavy submarine
explosions had taken place. The dura
tion of the shock was long enorgh tt
enable those who were below to reacf
the deck and witness the unusual sight
Alter the disturbance had subsidized, the
sea again became as calm as before
The vessel sustained no damage and hel
cargo appears to be intact, although hel
5 600 boxes of sugar were thrown about
by the shock.
