FERTILIZERS IN H". CAROLINA.
The Raleigh Sentinel says :—We have
been favored with the following cor-respondence
between a Committee of
the State Agricultural Society and
Prof. Kerr, the State Geologist. It
speaks for itself, and we need do no
more than call attention to it. The
letter of Prof. Kerr is full of valuable
information and suggestions, which are
apropos and timely. It establishes the
fact that we have native fertilizers in
abundance, to meet all the exigencies
of our Agricultural condition and ne-cessities
:
RALEIGH, N. C, Feb. 12, 18GS.
Prof. W. C. Kerr:
BlB :—The State Agricultural Socie
ty, at its last meeting, passed the fol-lowing
resolution, to-wit:
Resolved, That a Committee be ap-pointed
to investigate the subject of
producing fertilizers in this State, for
sale to the farmers of the State at fair
remunerating prices.
The object of the Society is, first, to
ascertain whether the materials exist
out of which fertilizers can be manu-factured;
secondly, to ascertain whether
they can be produced in such quantity
and form as to compensate the manu-facturer
and remunerate the farmer.
Any information that you could give
the Committee, at your leisure, upon
this subject, would be gratefully re-ceived.
With much respect,
GEO. W. WIIITEIELD,
D. M. BARKINUEU,
J. L. BRIDGES,
Committee.
RALEIGH, June 10, 1808.
Geo. W. Whitjield, Esq., Hon. J). M.
Barrhu/er, Col. Jno. L. Bridgers,
Committee, &c.
GENTLEMEN :—I have not yet had
time to give the subject of your com-munication
the attention which its im-portance
demands, having been whol-ly
occupied with the survey of the
Western section of the State. It is
my purpose, in a few months, after
completing the examination of that re-gion,
to take up, in detail, the study of
the marls of the Eastern counties, and,
in connection with them, to discuss the
whole subject ot our resources of fertil-ization
in this State and the best
methods of utilizing them. But it has
occurred to me that it might be worth
while, preliminarily, to call the atten-tion
of your Committee and of the
Agricultural Society to some general
considerations which must direct and
limit our investigations and experi-ments
in this direction.
Without going into the general sub-ject
of manures and the theory of their
action upon the soil, it will be sufti-
I eient to state in general, that the prin-cipal
problem of practical ^agriculture
in our State and region is, how to re-;
store and maintain the supply of lime and
humus in our soils. This is so, partly
because these are among the most im-portant
ingredients, and, at the same
time, the most liable to exhaustion,
and partly because, whatever method
is adopted of supplying these, the oth-er
exhaustible elements are also re-stored
incidentally.
The methods of supplying humus are
mainly two: First, the plowing in of
green crops; and, second, the direct
addition of it in the form of stable ma-nure,
peat, muck, &c.
Lime may be restored directly, as
lime, or in the form of marl or gypsum.
And, still better, either or both of these
may be composted with the peat, &c.
Since the process of improving soils
by plowing in green crops, however
advisable, will not readily nor speedily
be adopted by our farmers, and since
the quantity of stock in our region is
and must long remain utterly inade-quate
to furnish a supply of stable ma
nure, it is important to enquire wheth-er
there are other available sources of
supply. The immense peat beds of our
coast region will at once occur to you
as capable of furnishing unlimited
quantities for an indefinite per'od. In
fact, there is enough to supply lor one
hundred years every acre of cultivated
land within ten miles of a Railroad or
navigable river.
As for lime, of course the marl-beds
of the same region furnish an inex-haustible
supply. The manufacture of
lime for agricultural purposes ought to
become at once a large and lucrative
busiue.-s. The soils of a very large pro-portion
of the State, being of granitic
origin, are generally very deficient in
this most important element. It might
be supplied .to a large part of the eas-tern
and middle sections of the State
from the marls near the coast, which
are often almost pure limestone. This
is one manufacture that your Society
would do well to encourage.
As to the matter of transportation
of peat and marl to considerable dis-tances,
I have no doubt that much
might profitably be done in that way.
Peat, air dried, loses from 5} to £ of its
weight. The marls of the coast are in
many places rich enough in fertilizing
ingredients, phosphates, potash, &c,
to bear transportation (and where they
are not, they might, in some cases, be
concentrated by simple mechanical
means,) over large districts, along the
rivers in whose banks they abound,
and on the line of the railroads, as is
done so extensively in New Jersey.
But this is not the enterprise which
I propose for your consideration. It
is the utilization of these materials,
together with, the waste from the fisheries
of the Sounds and Rivers of the same
section, for the manufacture of a manip-ulated
manure which may be profita-bly
transported over the whole State,
by water and rail. These fisheries, as
you are aware, furnish thousands of
tons of refuse and offal annually, which
are now little better than thrown
away.
Consider the composition of these
materials: The marls contain, besides
lime, which is the principal ingredient,
iron, magnesia, phosphate of lime and
organic matter, and some of them, also,
potash and soda.
Here is an analysis of a stone marl
near Wilmington, given by Dr. Em-mons
: Silex 20 per cent., phosphate 5,
magnesia, 4, carbonate of lime 72, or-ganic
matter, &c, -.
When the sand constitutes a large
proportion of the marl, it may be sep-arated
by simple means, so as to con-centrate
the more valuable ingredients,
as lime, potash, phosphates, &c.
The composition of peat may be
stated (as an average of many analyses)
to be as follows, viz:
Humus,
It will give me pleasure to aid you
in any manner in furthering such an
undertaking. Very Respectfully,
W. C. KERR.

So that Radical loafers can each have a chair,

Taxed on the Coffin, and taxed on the Crib,
On the old man's shroud, and the baby's bib.
To pamper the bigot, and fatten the knave
Taxed from the cradle plump into the grave.
Why, to buy all the rogues they can find far and

And give each officer h alfa million a year.
Taxes, taxes, Republican taxes !

From the pittances they earn by the work of the

I do not recognize the validity ofthe
late election, under which you, and
those co-operating with you, claim to
be invested with the civil government
of the State. Yon have no evidence
of your election, save the certificate of
a Major General of the Tinted States
Army.
I regard all of you, as, in effect, ap
pointecs of the Millitary power ofthe
United States, and not as "deriving
your powers from the consent of those
you claim to govern." Knowing, how-ever,
that you are backed by Military
force here, which I could not retist,
if I would, I do not deem it necessary
to offer a futile opposition, but vacate
the office, without the ceremony of
actual eviction, offering no further
opposition than this my protest.
I would submit to actual expulsion,
in order to bring before the Supreme
Court of the United States the ques-tion
as to the constitutionality of the
legislation under which you claim to
to be the rightful Governor ofthe State,
if the past action of that tribunal
furnished any hope of a speedy trial. I
surrender the office to you under what
I deem Military duress, without stop-ping,
as the occasion would welljust-iiiy,
to comment upon the singular
coincidence, that the present State
Government is surrendered, ax icithout
legality, to Mm, whose own official sanc-tion,
but three years ago, declared it
valid.

Thus it is evident that by a judicious
selection of marls and peats, (and the
concentration of the former when nec-essary,)
and the addition of fish offal,
(and in some cases, if desirable, a small
portion of guano and gypsum,) an un-limited
quantity may be made of a fer-tilizer
superior to most ofthe imported
articles, at a trifling fraction of their
cost, and capable of transportation to
all parts of the State,—a fertilizer
which, besides the principal ingre-dients,
wanting in our soils, lime and
humus, contains all the other elements
of stable manure, or the best guanos.
Here, then, you have all the necessa-ry
materials in unlimited abundance,
without cost, in immediate proximity
to each other, on navigable waters, and
connected with all parts of the State
by railroad. It is not easy to see what
better conditions could exist anywhere
for a profitable enterprise of the kind
you contemplate.
GOV. WORTH'S PROTEST.
The Paleigh Sentinel says: We pnb
lish, below, the admirable protest of
Gov. Worth, on surrendering the office
of Governor of the State to Mr. llolden.
the Provisional appointee of Gen. Can-by.
In making this protest, Gov.
Worth has been influence by no cap-tious
spirit. He has acted, as during
his entire excellent administration,
solely from convictions of duty, and in
the interest ofthe Constitutional elec-tors
of North Carolina. Our people
will thank him for raising a point,
which will be of the most vital practi-cal
importance in the subsequent de-velopments
that must spring out of
the usurpation of Congress in this
matter of " Reconstruction."
We deem this a fitting place to re-mark,
that no man, who has filled the
Executive chair of North Carolina, has
more entitled himself to the confidence
and regard of her true people, thau
JONATHAN WORTH. Under circum
stances of singular delicacy, complica-tion
and embarrassment, he has uni-formly
stood manfully up for the rights,
the honor and the dignity of the State.
He has never yielded an inch, beyond
what was absolutely imperative, to the
encroachments of unconstitutional ag-gression.
The unwritten, and as yet
generally unknown, details of his ad
ministration, when published, as they
must be, at some future day, will place
him before the people in a light which
will still father command their appro-bation
and esteem.
STATE OF NORTII CAROLINA, }
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, >
Raleigh, July 1st, 1808. )
Gov. W. W. Holden, Paleigh, N. C:
gjr;—Yesterday morning, 1 was
verbally notified by Chief Justice Tear-son,
that, in obedience to a telegram
from Gen. Canby, he would, to-day, at
10 A. M., administer to you the oaths
required preliminary to your entering
upon the discharge
, i
of the duties of
Viril Governor of the State ; and that
thereupon, you would demand posses-sion
of my office.
I intimated to the Judge my opinion
such proceeding was premature, even
under the reconstruction legislation ot
Congress, and that I should probably
decline to surrender the office to you.
At »un down, yesterday evening. I
received from Col. Williams, Comman-dant
of this Military Post, an extract
from the General Orders, No. 120, of
General Canby. as follows:
"To facilitate the organization ot
the new State Governments, the fol-lowing
appointments are made: To
be Governor of North Carolina, \Y. \\ .
Holden, Governor elect, rice Jonathan
Worth, removed ; to be Lieutenant
Governor of North Carolina, Tod h.
Caldwell, Lieutenant Governor elect,
to fill an original vacancy—to take
effect Julv J st. 1868, on the meeting of
PAST NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC
CONVENTIONS.
Up to 1832 the presidential candi-dates
of the people were not selected
by national conventions of the respec-tive
parties, but were nominated by a
congressional causus at Washington.
The first five Presidents were, with
Vice-Presidents, chosen in this man-ner.
This custom was killed in 1824.
Then there were four candidates before
the people for President, namely, An-drew
Jackson, John Q. Adams, W. II.
Crawford and Henry Clay. Adams',
Jackson's and Clay's friends in Con-gress
declided to have anything to do
with the caucus. Only sixty-one mem-bers
met and nominated Mr. Crawford
in accordance with the old plan.—
He came in third best in the race. The
election went to the House, and Adams
was chosen. Jackson was taken up at
the next election, in different State
conventions, and was elected, over Mr.
Adams, who had the same endorse-ment.
The first national conventions were
called in 1832, the ending of Jackson's
first term. The democratic convention
met at Baltimore, renominated Andrew
Jackson by acclamation, and Martin
VanBuren forVke President. Govern-or
Robert Lucas, of Ohio, was the
President of this Convention. Jack-son
and Van Buren were elected. In
1S35 the democrats held their second
national convention at Baltimore and
nominated Martin Van Buren for Pres-ident,
and after a sharp contest select-ed
Col. R. M. Johnson, of Kentucky,
for Vice President, over William C.
Rives, of Virginia. Virginia, in the
election, voted for Van Buren, but re
jected Johnson. This caused a tie.
Johnson had just half of the electoral
votes. There being no choice, Johnson
was elected by the Seneate—the only
instance in our history of a Vice Presi
dent being so elected.
In 1839 the Democratic National
Convention met at Baltimore, and re-nominated
Mr. Van Buren for Presi-dent.
No Vice President was nomina-ted,
and the States were left to vote for
whom they pleased for Vice President.
The friends of Van Buren, however,
generally voted for Col. Johnson.
Harrison and Tyler were elected.
In 1854 both parties held their na-tional
conventions at Baltimore. The
Democrats selected James K. Polk, of
Tennessee, and Silas Wright, of New
York. The latter declined, and Geo.
M. Dallas was selected in his stead.
Polk and Dallas were elected.
In 1848, the Democratic National
Convention met at Baltimore, and
nominated Generals Cass and Butler
for President and Vice President.—
They were defeated by Gen. Taylor
and Fillmore.
In 1852, at Baltimore, the democrats
nominated Franklin Pierce for Presi-dent,
and W. R. King for Vice Presi-dent.
They were elected.
In 1855 the Democratic Convention
went to Cincinnati and nominated
James K. Buchanan and John C.
Breckinridge. They were elected.
In 1860 the Democaats met in
Charleston, S. C, where a split oc-curred,
and the Convention adjonrned
to Baltimore. Douglas and Fitzpat-rick.
of Alabama, were nominated by
THE TWO MK1MHANTS.
I
When trade grew slack and notes
fell due, the merchant's fine grew long
and blue; his dreams were troubled
through the night, with sheriffs, bail-iffs
all in sight. At last his wife unto
him said: Rise up at once, get out of
bed, and get your paper, ink and pee,
and say these words unto all men :
My goods 1 wish to sell to you, and
to your wives and daughters too ; my
prices they shall be so low, that each
will buy before they go.
He did as his good wife advised,
mid in the papers advertised. Crowds
came and bought of all he had; his
notes were paid, his dreams made
glad; and he will tell you to this day,
how well did printer's ink repay. He
told us this with a knowing wink,
how he was saved by printer's ink.
n
The other in a place as tight, con-tented
was the press to slight; and
did not let the people know, of what
he did or where to go. His drafts fell
due and were not paid, and a levy on
his goods was made; the store was
closed until the sale, and for some
time ho was jail. A bankrupt now
without a cent, at leisure he can deep
repent, that he was foolish and uu-wise,
and did not freely advertise.
If you think the moral of this story
wise, you should not neglect to adver-tise.
SIN GULAR METHOD OF DISCOVER-ING
A DROWNED BODY.—We are in
formed by Mr. J. Buchman, the uncle
of the young girl (Miss Kate Gruper)
who drowned herself in the Mississsip-pi
river by jumpiug from the bluff in
Fort Pickering that her body was re-covered
yesterday afternoon between
4 and 5 o'clock, and was immediately
hurried in Elmwood Cemetry. The
body was discovered by the following
strange incident: It appears that a
young man ^employed in Marstead's
brewry felt confident that the body
had lodged in the bottom of the river
at a point about 150 or 200 yards bclow
where she had jumped in, and that by
keeping constant watch it would make
its appearance, no had been led to
this conclusion by the movement of a
loaf of bread, which three days after
the drowning occurred, and when every
other effort to recover the body had
been in vain, was loaded with a quan-tity
of quicksilver, and set afloat near
where the girl threw herself in. As
strange as it may seem, the bread di-rectly
floated out to the same point in
the river, and instantly sunk where
the body made its appearance yester-day.
The young man, induced by the
liberal rewark of $100, which had been
offered for the recovery of the body
patiently bided his time, keeping cons-tant
watch nearely the whole of the
time, night and day, Yi-stcnhiy, tho
ninth day after he had seen her drown
herself, and within about fifteen min-utes
of the same time ofthe occurrence
he was suddenly startled by hearing
an explosion in the river like a shell
burst ing in the distance, and on look-ing
around saw the body rise to tho
surface just where the loaf of bread
had dissappeared six weeks ago. This
is indeed strange.—Memphis Post,.June
5th.
Recipe for Finding A llusband.—
More common sense and less wit.
More useful occupation and less music.
More study of the mysteries of tho
Kitchen and le*s ofthe Mysteries of Paris.
More mending of shirts and stockings
and less making of bracelets.
Less display of toilets that appall tho
purses of candidates for wedlock.
More proof to men that they will find
in a wife a helpmeet and not an embarass-r:
i> nt.
This recipe, if thoroughly tried, will
greatly lessen the number of bachelors.—

Tee following old receipt for the
choice of a wife seems to bo a very
good one:
" As much of Ixauty a« preserve* .-iffi-ction,
Of modest dMU«M H claim- protection ;

And every pa-udon kept indue Biil>jection,

Find tlii*. my friend, and then mnke your elec-tion."
The Supreme Court, on Wednesday
of last week, appointed C. B. Root, of
