the good work is more than half ac-
oomplished.
Before taking leave of my readers,
the majority of whom perhaps are en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits, | would
again briefly recur to the important
subject of Manures,-one of scarcely
less moment to the tiller of the soil,
than is the Mariners Compass to the
tempest-tossed sailor-for mainly to
their agency is some form or other,
must we be indebted for success, in
the renovation of WORKOUT lands.-
My preference, as may have been seen,
is given to lime over all others, when
an expenditure of the slender resources
of the farm is devoted to this object
and although it is not a Panacea, to
cure all the ills incident to the call
ing, nor will it, like the tabled Satyr,
''blow hot and cold with same breath, "
yet on all soils to which | have seen it
applied, from the stiffest clays, to
the blowing sands,-does it appear to
be renovator in greater or less de-
gree: the one, it will tighten and mel
low, while the other is rendered more
compact and more retentiye of mois-
ture. would therefore strongly advise
the use of LINE, as decidedly the most
efficient and durable agent, for improv-
ing most kinds of soils. If its action
may be considered comparatively slow,
1T Is SURE, in its fertilizing effects
and will generally in the end, prove also
to be the most economical, whenever
it can be obtained mt reasonable
price.
The three kinds of ''bought ma
nures" most extensively in use in this
State for improving our WORKOUT
lands (Plaster of course excepted)
might be classed somewhat like the
following: Lime, for the landlord,
Guano for the tenant, and ground
Bones for both. All may be used to
profit under favorable circumstances
but they are believed to differ materi-
ally in their relative values, in pro-
portion to the amount of money usual
ly expended, if the improvement OF
the land, is primary object with the
husbandman.
Experience, however, i'll this, rs well
as in most other things, is the best
teacher: provided We do not pay too
dear for it. And without intending
in the least degree, to check the ener-
gy and spirit of agricultural improve
ment, now so widely extending, |
would venture a caution to those who
have but little money to expend for
the purchase of high priced manures,
to do it rather for such as are knO,cR ia
be durable; and which viii eventually,
be the most certain to return both
principal and interest. feel conf
dent that all have expended for lime,
has been returned in the increased
product of the soil: and with nearer
six times six, than 6 per cent. interest.
If the market value of the land. has
not been enhanced in equal proper
ton (most probably the case) it GER
tainly has not drieriorafei amy in
quality.
AS remarked at the beginning Of my
essay. no exclusive method of improve
ment, is alike snitcd tn all locations,
and circumstances but trust plan
is submitted that will very generally
succeed if perseverrd in: it will not on

THE INDIANS.
Red Dog i'm Favor of Selling the Black
Hills.

Red Dog in Favor Of Selling the BLACK
Hills.
RED CLOUD AGENCY, Sept Z, via FORT LAR
AMIE, Sept. 8.-MaJor Bingham of the Chey-
enne Agency, Major Burke, of the Vandingo
Rock Agency, and Major Howard, of the Spot
ted Tail Agency, yesterday endeavored to bring
the Indians encamped there to this agency to
hold council here.
1t rs understood there is considerable dssat-
isfaction among the Indians there on account of
the failure OF the commissioners to go to Shar-
on Creek to hold q council according to a pre-.
vious understanding this creek Icing half way
between the Red Cloud and Spotted Tail Agen-
cy.
Under the circumstances nothing can be done
until the return of these agents, which will be
about the last of the week.
Red Dog came in to-day and had little in
formal talk with the commissioners He IA
vors sale of the Black Hills, and will have
more influence with his people than Red Cloud.
Gathering of the Lodges mt Red Cloud
Agency.
A despatch from the Red Cloud Agency dat
ed on the 9Th inst, says the sub-commissiou
employed ''Young Man Afraid of the Horses"
an influential chief, to go to Powder and Tongue
rivers to bring in the wild bands. He perform
ed the service, and two hundred lodges are
here. They were promised for this service
horses and equipments. One hundred horses
will be required to meet this obligation. The
Ogalaas will require speedy compliance with
the promise before entering the council for the
purchase of the Black Hills
The agents have telegraphed the Commission
er of Indian Affairs for authority to give this
assurance, and the department has telegraphed
that the authority will be given.

MISSISSIPPI.
Senator Alcarn,s Views.

MEMPHIS, Sept. 9-The Avalanche publishes
lengthy interview with Senator Alcorn in re-
gard to the condition of affairs in Mississippi
Mr.. Alcorn says there is great disturbance
there and bad blood between the races and
parties and bad men were finding employment
10 fomentiug the disturbance. 1t will continue
50, he said, until the people learn to follow a
conservative course and to sink their passions
for the public good. There is bad state of
feeling existing and it only takestwo or three
drunken men at a gathering to cause that feel
ing to vent itself in blood and violence, as at
Clinton. The Senator was very severe on
Gov. Ames, who, he states is vindictive and
not actuated by any kind feeling toward the
people over whom he is enthroned. The Sena-
tor charges the Democrats of Mississippi with
the responsibility of Ames' election, as in the
recent election they urged that it would be bet
ter to elect Ames and make the state hell first
and Democratic afterwards. He thinks the
bloody ch3Sm does not fill up felicitOusiy, and
that the people of the North are no more pre-
pared to receive complacenty lectures from
Lamar, Gordon aud jeff Davis, than those of
the South would be to hear Phil Sheridan.
Consulting ON Gov. mes Request.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9-President Grant has
sent a telegram to Adjutant General Town
send, directing him to instruct the officer COM
manding the troops in Mississippi to give Gov,
Ames such aid as may be necessary to main
tain order and protect life in that state, if the
instruction is too formidable to be suppressed
with the means at the Governors command.
Before sending such an order to the command
ing officer, however, the President directed the
Adjutant General to consult with Attorney
General Pierrepont as to the legality of such
contemplated proceeding. Accordingly these
gentlemen hada consultation on that subject at
noon to day.
Action on the Presidents telegram will be
deferred until it shall lie decided whether a
proclamation shall be issued to the insurgents,
the President having requested the Secretary
OF State and the Attorney General to consider
whether such proclamation is necessary. The
Secretary of State being absent from Washing
ton, the Attorney General is arranging by tele.
graph for a conference with Secretary Fish.
and may leave tonight for that purpose unless
ne learns meantime that the Secretary is on his
way to Washington, which is thought proba-
bic.
1t is definitely known that no action will be
taken by the War Department until after a
proclamation is issued and information receiv-
ed of disregard Of its requirements by the in
surgents.
TIE available troops in Mississippi are two
companies of the 18th infantry at jackson,
two of the 18th at Vicksburg, and five of the
81 infantry and four of the 18th at Baton
Rouge.
Official kilograms will probably be sent to
Gov. Ames to-day, asking whether it is not DOS
sible he can be aided in preserving the public
peace by calling upon law-abiding citizens so
as TO avoid the necessity of resorting to federal
force to suppress the disturbance

A Popular Error Corrected

1t is an absurd but very common error to suppose
that disordered condition of the liver can be REM
edied by simple cathartc. Such is. however, far
from being the case. Cathartics do not touch the
liver at ALL 1t is only when (as in the of Hos
letters Stomach Bttcrs) the laxative principle is
combined with tonic and stimulative elements, that
the great secretve gland is directly acted upon The
Bitters, although sufficiently laxative to relieve the
bowels moderately, dc not owe their anti.bilious
effects to purgation merely, but to their power of
rousing the liver from its inaction and impellng it
to secrete and distribute the bile in sufficient guam
titles for the purposes Of digestion and evacuation
Its effect upon the stomach and bowels such as to
ensure the regular discharge of the functions named
and prevent abstraction vitiation of the hillary
