The Richmond company had been nego-

MAY LESSEN THE COST.
The question of fertilizers Is one oe
most vital interest TO southern farmers,
since It affects them ALL and through
them every other branch OF trade. Tho
use of commercial fertilizers. as stated
in the Dispatch few days ago. Is very
much on the increase in Virginia, and IL
Is believed the Same is tAie OF every
other Southern State.
Whether the formation of fertilizer
trust would have the effect OF lessening
the price TO the farmer. or improving the
quality, or both. remains TO be seen.

neIs-A Preachers Observation.

CAMP ALGER, August 12-(SpeciaL)-
The inquiry into the conduct of the men
of the Third Regiment, Virginia Volun-
teers. on Monday night, was opened at
division headquarters this morning. From
present indications it seems that the
sessions Will extend over three or four
days. Up to this time only witnesses
against the Virginians have been heard,
but the testimony has been of such a
nature that their vindication is almost
in their defence. General Butler, the
chief witness against them, was not a
success on the stand. He was testy and
overbearing, and his attitude was so
clearly that of a prosecutor that many
of his statements, when contradictod by
members Of his staff, who followed on
the stand lost their force. Not only was
the evidence conflicting as to detail, but
General Butler himself was tripped more
than once by counsel for the regiment,
and had to eat his own words. The
most sensational incident of the inquiry,
so far, has been an attack made by
the General upon Attorney General Mon
tague. The latter was equal to the oc-
casion. however, and the situation. which
was decidedly warm for a time. ended
in the discontinue ofsthe General.
