< )ne of our excellent correspon
dent- submits the following views on
Cure*’ll Disi ipf.ine:
“I hold it to be the Scriptural right of
a (4.>s|el Church to deal with her mem
bers who may he guilty of immorality,
wh ther they be ministers or laymen.
1: a church, in the exercise of this right,
commits an error in her discipline in a
“ingle instance, I cannot believe she de
stroys her very existence by that act. If
- <> h i- the consequence of an error, I ap
prehend there can be but few real chur
ch. s in existence, since it is probable most
ir. lies of long standing had committed
errors at times.
I hold also, that if a church is once de
-iroved, it cannot again bo revived as the
-one body. Anew one can be formed
\ the same members—but not the same
bod\. Am I right?” I.

A Christmas Incident.
Last Christmas morning, on my way
to a friends, where I knew some little
folks were waiting their Christmas
gift.-. I passed one of our handsomest
confectionaries. The store was crow
ded with children of all sizes. Some
with an indulgent father, who was
treating them to their hearts’ desire ;
some sisters and hrotheis came togeth
er to spend their Christmas money;
>-"ine with their little hands clasped in
their mothers', pointing out in ecstacy
the wonders of the sngar art. I stood
a while looking at these happy faces
and li>tening to the Babel of merry
‘••ices. It did my heart good. As I
turned to leave, I observed two little
children : a girl seven and a boy of
f. .ur—almost a baby. Poor wretched
little ones ! their feet bare, their cloth
es scanty and torn, their arms and legs
frost-bitten and sore. They had pres
sed np close to the window, and were
gazing in with such longing—oh, such
longing, hungry e} r es. After a few
minutes the boy burst into sobs —bit-
ter, suppressed sobbing, as though his
infant heart already felt its desolation.
‘•Come away, come away, Johnny,”
said the girl, “it’s no use crying, we
can’t have any.” They began to move
slowly on, when the door of the store
opened, and a lad of about ten years
came out, whistling merrily, and with
a parcel in his hands. The girl step
ped quickly forward —“Oh, please to
give my little brother some candy,”
she said imploringly.
The lad passed carelessly on; he
had half crossed the street, when a
second’ thought seemed to strike him.
He turned back, and opening his bun
dle of candy, held it to both the poor
children, saying, “There, take as much
as you want,”
Reader, if you could have seen the
surprised and grateful faces of those
sorrowful children, you would not have
wondered that the tears were in my
eyes as I went on my way.

Salt and its use to Gardeners.
In another part of this paper, a correspondent
speaks of common salt as a chief agent in his
successful cultivation of the turnip. The em
ployment of salt as a manure is so little under
stood, and at the same time the reports of those
who have used it, in the majority of cases, speak s
favorably of its action, that it is well worth ex
tensive and varied experiments by horticulture
ists. We think its chief power lies in its hy
dropical qualities; or, to speak more plainly,
its capacity for imparting moisture to the soil’
than to any inherent fertilizing property. Thus
whatever contains salt, will always be damp
and nothing more is important to the cultivator
in many cases, than that his soil should retain
at certain seasons, a uniform degree of moisture.
We recommended a friend who was laying down
a lawn last spring, on a naturally dry soil, to
sow a portion of it with salt before putting in
the seed, and the difference between it and that
not so sown, in the green color of the former
during the past dry season was very striking.
Salt, in dry soils, has been for some years past,
admitted to be a valuable means, of increasing
the fertility of an asparagus bed, which is doubt
less principally owing to the moisture, it Ls
able to afford to the succulent stems of that
plant. There is a wide field open for its appli
cation. Pears and quinces, gooseberries and
currants, and some other fruits which dear
ly love to be in a dry soil, but near moisture;
tender-rooted plants, such as natives of New
Holland and the Cape of Good Hope, which
must have a regular supply of moisture at the
roots to enable them to get through our dry
summers, and yet will not bear constant arti
ficial watering; succulent growers, as gerani
ums and calceolaria, bulbs, and many other
kinds, would no doubt be vastly benefitted.—
Tn cases where a humid atmosphere is required,
it might be a useful aid. Salt hay under a
gooseberry bush has been known to make the
atmosphere surrounding it so regularly moist,
as to insure a perfect crop in cases otherwise
ndered futile by mildew. Admitting air byr
side lights into cold vineries, by suddenly chang
ing the hygrometric conditions of the atmos
phere, is now so well known as being one
of the chief causes of mildew in grapes, that
side ventilation is abandoned by some of our
cultivators. By placing salt canvass over the
apertures, the advantages of the air might be
obtained, without its concomitant disadvantages.
Experiments are wanted from gardeners. Ag
riculturists are rather ahead of us in its appli
cation though they seem still unacquainted with
its mode of action. In another place we give
an extract from the Genesee Fanner, which, if
not satisfactory, is at least suggestive.
One Week Later trom Europe.
ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA.
Some Circulars Report a Slight Decline in
Cotton.
New York, Feb. 7.
The steamship Asia, from Liverpool, with
dates to Saturday, Jan. 22, has arrived, after a
boisterous passage.
Commercial New.
Liverpool Cotton Mailcel. —The sales of cot
ton for the week reached 44,000 bales, of which
speculators took 500 bales, and exporters 3,500
bales. There is some little discrepancy in the
circulars—some state Uplands had declined
1-16d.; others that Mobile and Uplands had
slightly declined ; and again, that the market
closed with a declining tendency. The sales on
Friday were 0,000 bales, closing dull. The fol
lowing are the authorised quotations:
Fair Orleans 7Jd., Fair Mobiles 7d., Fair Up
lands 6 13-1 Od., Middling Orleans Middling
Mobile 6 11-16d., Middling Uplands 6 !)-16d.
The stock of cotton in port was 340,000
bales, of which 272,000 bales were American.
State of Trv.de. —Manchester advices were
favorable; cloths were firm ; but little enquiry
existed for yarns, and prices were weak.
Havre Cotton Market. —Orleans Tres Ordi
narie quoted at 97 francs, and the market closed
dull. Sales of the week 6,500 bales.
London Market. —Money was reported in
some circulars decidedly more stringent, and
in others unchanged. Consols were quoted at
95£. The bullion in the Bank of England had
decreased £O,OOO. The Barings, in their pro
duce circular, report the sugar market.
Liverpool General Markets. —Flour dull, and
quotations nominal. Wheat inactive, with a
declining tendency. Corn quotations barely
maintained. Pork firm, and all qualities slight
ly advanced. Bacon heavy. Lard dull, at 50s.
Sugar firm. Coffee steady. Naval stores firm.
Rice unchanged.
General News.
The steamship Fulton, with accounts from the
I nited States to the Bth of January, reached
Havre on the 21st.
The growing confidence in the continuance of
peace had caused a partial revival in Paris
Bourse.
The death of the King of Naples had been re
ported, but it was discredited.
The Austrian loan of six millions sterling had
been announced.
The latest correspondence from the continent
states that confidence in the continuance of
peace is losing ground.
Warlike preparations are continued in France.
It is reported that an offensive and defensive
alliance has beat concluded between France and
Sardinia.
It is said that Great Britain has resolved to
protect her interests in Mexico.
The Swiss National Council had voted five
hundred thousand pounds sterling to immedi
ately convert all the public guns into the per
cussion principle.
Austrian troops are pouring into Lombardy,
but no outbreaks are announced.
Many steamers for transports are preparing
for sea, in France.
A Boy Carried over Niagara Falls.
We learn from the railroad men that an adop
ted son of Mr. Gibbs, foreman in the Niagara
Falls Paper Mill, was taken over the cataract on
Saturday afternoon last. The victim was a
promising little boy, about eleven years of
age, and a general favorite with all who knew
him.
The Niagara Falls Paper Mill is situated on
Bath Island, between Goat Island and the main
land, and the machinery is driven by water
power.
On Saturday afternoon a number of men
were engaged clearing away the ice which ob
structed the flow of water in the race, and Mr.
Gibbs’ boy was playing about the vicinity. In
one place the race is spanned by a narrow foot
bridge of plank, destitute of a railing or other
protection on either side, and somehow, in cros
ing this, he lost his balance and fell into the
water. The current was very strong, and in
an instant the child was carried out through the
bulkhead at the tail end of the race and precipi
tated some ten feet into the foaming flood a
short distance above the bridge connecting the
two islands.
The rapids were full of floating blocks of ice,
and mingled with these,the poor little fellow was
carried down the stream. Help could not be
afforded, and the horrified spectators watched
him till he was lost to sight He was observed
to raise his hand once, as if to remove something
from his face, and that was all. The distance
from the race to the Falls cannot be much over
fifty rods, and the fatal leap was not long delay
ed. It is not probable that any vestige will
ever be discovered of the remains. The vortex
beneath the Falls seldom returns to land any
thing committed to its mysterious depths—Ro
chester (N. Y.) American.
Financiering in Oregon.
The Oregon war claims are said to amount to
$4,449,949 —the average expense per day of
every man in the field is $11.21. Laborers
were hired at $4 per day—clerks at $10 —little
steamboats at S3OO to $3,000 per day—horses
were shod at sl2 each—bought at $550 and
sold at S3O to SSO each. Oats $7 per bushel—
peas 30 cts. per pound—pasturage $3 per day.
150 sheets drawing paper $438.75, and 75 sheets
afterwards sold at $11.25. One private held
claims for personal service amounting to $8,829.
The war was of nine months’ duration, and its
brevity was a happy circumstance. The coun
try could not have stood it long. Unfortunately
for the claims, the government commissioners
have cut them down somewhat
Mr. Spurgeon and his visit to America. —lt
is a feet that Mr. Spurgeon has recently receiv
ed a very liberal offer from persons in this coun
try to come here and preach. We have seen a
private letter from him, however, which author
izes us to say that, though it is likely he will
soon visit America, he will do so without any
pecuniary engagement or inducement of the kind
mentioned in the above letter, or of any other
sort whatever.
He will visit America, if he visit it at all, as an
independent preacher, and whatever means he
may take to raise money for the building of his
new chapel will be taken after he shall have
reached this city.— N. Y. Post.
Resignation of Hon. John Forsyth.
Washington, Feb. 7. —Mr. Forsyth his re
signed his mission in Mexico. It is understood
that Gen. Cass has assured him that the admin
istration expresses full satisfaction at his course
in Mexico.
Death of Benjamin T. Brantley.
Mr. Benjamin T. Brantley, died near Fort
Scott, Kansas Territory, on the 13th ult., aged
about twenty-two years. “Mr. 8., says an
obituary notice of the deceased, was born in
Augusta, on the 4th of December, 1836, grad
uated at Mercer University in 1855, studied
law, and had made his arrangements to enter
upon the duties of his profession within a
month from the time he was smitten down by
disease.
An Earnest Appeal.
Is now made by the Board of the South
ern Baptist Publication Society to all who
are indebted to Smith & Whilden, Depo’-
ry agts., (said agency having closed Jan.
1, 1859) on account of books purchased in
1858 or previous years, to make early set
tlements either by cash or note.
It is particularly desired that the unset
tled business of this department of the so
ciety’s operations be closed at an early
period.
The Board would also respectfully call
the attention of all who are in arrears to
the Society on account of subscriptions
made, and request such to make remit
tance, that the interest of the Society
may be promoted by the publication of
additional works called for by the wants
of the denomination, some of which are
now ready.
It is hoped that this appeal will not be
disregarded, but meet with a prompt and
cheerful response.

MARRIED,
On the Bth inst., at the residence of James Tay
lor, Esq., of Macon county, Ga., by the Rev. T. B.
Russell, Mr. EZEKIEL B. S. BALDWIN of Talbot
county, to Miss ARTIMESIA C. TAYLOR of Ma
con county. -
died:
In this City on the 11th inst., Horace,''son of
Richard W. and Anna Cubbedge, aged 2 years
aud 4 months.
“ As vernal flowers that scent the morn,
But wither in the rising day,
Thus lovely was this infant’s dawn,
Thus swiftly fled his life away.”
In Twiggs County, on the morning of the Bth
inst., Thaddeus J. Bunn, son of Rev. Henry Bunn,
in the thirty-sixth year of his age ; five months
before his wife died, leaving an infant child. They
both left a pleasing hope of a blessed immortality.
On the 15th January, 1859, at her residence in
Warren County, Sister Mary Brinkley, consort of
Abraham Brinkley, about 70 years of age.
Sister Brinkley had been a pious and orderly
member of the Baptist Church, about fifty years.
She joined the Williams Creek Church, under the
administration of the Rev. Thos. Rodes, by whom
she was baptized. In November, 1828, she re
moved and joined the church at Long Creek, where
she remained an honorable and exemplary mem
ber till her death. She possessed an amiable dis
position, strong in mind and body, which enabled
her to bear up under the many trials and troubles
she had to undergo. She was benevolent and
kind to the sick and distressed—she was an obe
dient wife, a loving mother, and a good mistress.
She delighted in the house of God and the compa
ny of the pious, and never failed when able to at
tend conference. She had a stroke of palsy about
18 months previous to her death, which paralysed
her whole system, so that she could not get about
without help afterwards, but she always appeared
cheerful and resigned to the will of Providence,
ane expressed herself ready and willing at times to
depart and be at rest. She died of Pneumonia, af
ter painful suffering for eight days. Thus the
mother in Israel has passed away, by which the
Church, with the family aud acquaintances, are
left to mourn her loss. But we hope and believe
our loss is her eternal gain, for “ Blessed are the
dead that die in the Lord.” A. JONES.
On the sth January, in Talbot County, Mrs. A.
R. Weekley, wife of T. C. Weekley, in the 58th
year of her age. Sister W. had been an exempla
ry member of the Baptist Church for thirty years.
She was in the judgment of all who knew her, a
devoted Christian, an affectionate wife and mother,
a kind neighbor and confiding friend. She was
the child of many afflictions, being confined to her
room for upwards of twelve years; but she bore
them with surprising fortitude and Christian resig
nation. But her afflictions have been happily ex
changed for the joys of heaven. She leaves an
afflicted husband and five children to mourn her
departure, but it is the earnest prayer of the wri
ter that they may be all happily united in heaven.
W. D. ATKINSON.
At his residence in Merriwether County, Ga.,
Rev. Philip Mathews, leaving an affectionate wife
and thirteen children, 7 nine of whom are Baptists,
and one of these is exercising in the ministry.—
Brother Mathews was a faithful and successful
Minister for 33 years, and a member of the Bap
tist church from his youth. He died confiding in
his Savior and exhorting men to repentance.

years in preparing an edition of the Bible designed
to be the most complete and perfect ever issued’
From the Rev. Dr. Wayland.
Gentlemen—l learn with great pleasure that
you are about to republish the Annotated Para
graph Bible of London Religious Tract Society. I
have carefully examined a considerable portion of
the work and consider it eminently adapted to in
crease and diffuse a knowledge of the word of
God. The notes are precisely what the reader of
the Scriptures desires—very learned, judicious and
able, and everywhere throwing light on the mean
ing of the text. I heartily recommend it to Chris
tians of every denomination, and especially to the
Teachers of Bible Classes and Sabbath Schools, to
whom it will prove an invaluable aid.
From Rev. Dr. Tyng.
“There can be but one opinion about the new
edition of the ‘Paragraph Bible,’ in course of pub
lication, by the London Religious Tract Society,
and lam most glad you have undertaken its pub
lication here. I should be glad, in any way within
my reach to promote the success of the enter
prise.”
From Prof. H. B. Smith, of the Union Seminary.
“The plan of the ‘Annotated Paragraph Bible’
is excellent, and the work seems to have been ex
ecuted with great care and judgment. In the
same compass, it would be difficult to compress
any more of the right sort of materials for the pro
fitable study of the Bible, by all classes of readers.
The notes are brief and pertinent ; the chronolo
gical lists, the maps and references have been pre
pared with great diligence. The work commends
itself to careful study and general diffusion.”

“My Manipulated Guano having become the
cepted, and successful rival of the *°
trust I shall be pardoned for putting
what is so universally known in Baltimore, that lam
solely and exclusively the Originator of this article
by the use of machinery.’’—American Farmer7l6s7
SAVANNAH, January, 1859.
Public attention being now directed to the pur
chase of Fertilizers, we beg leave most earnestly
to call your attention to the above Card. 7
Mr. G. Ober, the General Agent in Baltimore for
the sale of
Kettlewell’s Manipulated Guano,
lias recently visited us, with endorsements and
testimonials of so strong a character, as to autho
rise us m commending to your most favorable atten
tion this valuable Fertilizer. We believe it to be
the most reliable and economical Manure now offer
ed to the public. It will commend itself for the fol
lowing reasons:
Ist.—Because it is imported Guano, intimately
combined, so as to meet the wants of Crop and Soil,
and not a manufactured article.
2d.—lts fine and dry conidtion—making it ready
for immediate application, without seiviiig or grind
ing.
3d. —In production of Crop and permanent im
provement of Land, it surpasses all other Fertilizers,
not excepting Peruvian Guano.
4th. —Its low price.
Peruvian Guano contains 16 per cent Ammonia
and only 25 to 30 per cent Phosphate of Lime. By
reducing the costly Ammonia one-half, and doubling
the Phosphate of Lime, a far more valuable Fertili
zer must be produced. It has been demonstrated
that 8 per cent of Ammonia is enough for all crops—
more is injurious, besides expensive. Indeed, many
prefer the No. 2 Manipulated Guano, because it con
tains a larger per centage of Phosphate of Lime
the simple reason why Cotton Seed is so valuable a
Manure is owing to this element alone. In Mary
land and Virginia this article has been in use exten
sively for several years, renovating the old and worn
out lands of those States, Our sister State, South
Carolina, is a large patron. Cotton Planters give it
the decided preference where it has been tried. We
have transacted business with Mr. John Kettlewell,
of Baltimore, the Proprietor of this article, for seve
ral years, and have entire confidence in his integrity
We beg that you will at least try this article, if you
are not disposed to venture largely. Our object is
to disseminate as widely as possible what we believe
to be a public good.
As an intelligent Planter, you cannot hesitate, if
you will but examine for yourself, and see how im
portant it is to make our worn out lands to stand
along side with the virgin soil.
We are now ordering a supply from Baltimore,
and if you will advise us on receipt of this, we will
forward to your address such an amount as you may
designate, at Baltimore prices viz : S4B per ton so
No. 1, and $43 per ton for No. 2, of 2,000 lbs., adding
cost of freight, &c. —cash or its equivalent. If put
in store the price will be $53 and 48 per ton in Sa
vannah. It is put up in new sacks and in beautiful
order.
It can be applied broadcast, in hill or drill, in im
mediate contact with the seed, without injury, an
important advantage in quantities precisely as Pe
ruvian, say from 100 to 300 lbs. per acre, with the
benefit of improvement to lands, the more it is lib
erally applied. We offer it from a single sack to
any number of tons that may be wanted. /
We append a few certificates, from several States,
to show the character of this article. Many could
be added, but we deem it unnecessary.
Respectfully yours.

John Kettlewell, Esq.;
Dear Sir: —Your favor of the 13th inst., came to
hand yesterday, desiring me to give you the resnlt of
my experience with Peruvian and “ Manipulated
Guano” this year, upon my cotton crop, which I do
with much pleasure ; but it is necessary and proper
that 1 inform you, that the “ Manipulated Guano”
was not received till 10th April, which was about
ten or twelve days after I was done planting where
I had applied the Peruvian Guano ; and I put the
“ Manipulated” upon old and inferior land and the
yield lias been about equal per acre. I used it upon
poorer land, that I might be better able to know its
value as a manure; and lam fully of opinion, that
the production was doubled by the use of it, and the
cotton of better quality, than upon the same kind o
land where no fertilizer was used. The test experi
ment lias proven so satisfactory to me, tnat I shall
hereafter continue the use of your Manipulated, in
preference to the Peruvian Guano.
Yours, Ac., ISAAC T. ROBINSON.
P. S.— l perceive no difference in the quality of
cotton grown from the Manipulated and Peruvian
Guano.
SOUTH CAROLINA—COTTON AND CORN.
Abbeville, 25th Oct. 1858.
John Kettlewell, Esq.;
Dear Sir : —Your favor of the 19th instant, asking
my experience in the use of your “ Manipulated Gu
uno” is just to hand—l reply, with pleasure : I have
ased five tons of it in the growth of cotton on both
old and fresh lands of mulatto soil, and the result is,
that, on the former, where without the use of your
guano, I have made 200 lbs. of seed cotton per acre
with it—l will gather this year—which has been one
of such drought that cotton will be cut at least one
third short on my place—4oo lbs. per acre, and on
the latter, the increase of yield will be about 2 to 1.
I am satisfied, that if the season had been more
favorable, the result would have been more manifest.
There can be no question but tnat your “ Manipula
ted Guano” is an admirable manure —its cheapness
over the Peruvian Guano, together with its adapted
ness to the production of cotton, will certainty re
commend it to the cotton planters. I expect to use
it much more liberally on my next year’s crop.
I am truly yours, H. A. JONES.
Charleston, Oct. 27th, 1858.
John Kettlewell, Esq.;
Dear Sir:—ln reply to your lettei of 14th inst., in
which you make the request that I snould give you
“ the results of my experience with your Manipula
ted Guano, especially in comparison with the Peru
vian, both as it regards quality and quantity.”
For the last two years, I have used your No. 1
Manipulated Guano largely for my farming purpo
ses, and in various experiments to test it with the
best Peruvian in quantity and quality. They have
been conducted with great minuteness, and in every
instance the Manipulated Guano has proved superr
or to the Peruvian alone—the growth of the plant
being more vigorous, and the product heavier.
This result was more particularly applicable to corn ;
yet, as to other crops, say barley, oats, Ao., the su
periority of the Manipulated was apparent. I think
it a stronger and a cheaper manure—cheaper, be
cause it requires less to the acre, and also on account
of difference in price. I therefore use it in prefer
ence to Peruvian, on all my crops. Not planting
cotton, I have no personal experience of Its effects
on that plant. Yours, very respectfully,
BENJ. 8. RHETT.

West Hill Warehouse, j
Messrs. John Rowlett A Co —Gents:
In reply to your inquiry I with pleasure state, that
sometime in the early part of this year, the Inspec
tors at this Warehouse sold for Mr. F. R. Wills, a
successful farmer of Prince George’s; and a gentle
men of high character and undoubted integrity,
two lots of loose tobacco, one of which as stated by
him was made on land where Manipulated Guano
had been used and the other where Peruvian Guano
had been used; the former bringing S9J per cwt.,
the latter only $7. As indicated by the prices there
was a very marked difference in the two lots so far
as to the quality and character of the tobacco ; that
of the former being heavier and rich ; of the latter,
then, bony, course and poor.
In addition, I will state, that so far as I am inform
ed, the tobacco grown on land where Kettlewell’e
Manipulated Guano has been used, is generally of a
superior quality, and consequently several of our
large tobacco growers are now using this guano on
their tobacco crop in preference to other manures.
Very respectfully yours,

Mr. John Ketttewell:
Dear Sir—As agent for the sale of your valuable
Manipulated Guano, you have requested me tore
port the standing of your Guano iu our county with
our farmers. I have to report universal satisfac
tion; I name N. C. Dickerson, E. R. Griffith, J. War
field, H. Crawford, F. M. Griffith, and could go
much further, were it necessary, who believe it e
qual, if not superiorto the best Peruvian Guano for
the first crop. I have tried on all crops in all wavs,
and do not hesitate to say that 1 esteem it superior
to Peruvian Guano—because it produces an equal
crop, when first applied, if not better—far better in
second crop, and admits of no comparison for grass
I use no other than the “Manipulated,” and rest as
sured as long as you keep the article to the present
standard, it must supercede the Peruvian with us
