A Thac nv on tiik Gi.acif.ks.—Two of the
best chamois hunters in iSwiizorland have just
lost their lives at the glaciers of Argomiciers, un
der circumstances peculiarly distressing. M.
furrier went oat with his son, n lad of 19, to hunt
marmots. The father discovered a burrow such
a* marmots are accustomed to dig, and laying him
self on the ground, l.tce downwards, began to en
large the entrance, hoping to take the animal at
the bottom. Suddenly a large quantity of earth
fell on him, nnd ho was unable to rise. Ilo call
ed to his son, who crept alter him, and tried in
vain tn extract his father from the load, which was
pressing upon him. While thus engaged a sec
ond ship ol earth look place and covered both.
Alter two hoars of suffering, tlio son died, lying
on the hack of his father. His last word* were
full of filial affection and anxiety for his parent.
Three long days and nights, will out food or light,
far I loin all human aid, unahlo to move, with tho
corpse of his son on his hack, did M. farrier lie
in this place, until his frloi ds, who Imd come out
in seal cii of the lest hunter, found him at tho point
ot death. Tho unhappy sufferer only lived long
enough to communicate these particulars, and
died wl.tle his Irionds were carrying him homo.

benefit of it.
A southern planter named I*.,pretty well to do
in the world now, was -s. me twenty years ago a
poor boy on the eastern shore of Maryland. Ouo
of the strongest mid most marked traits of his
character wns an inordinate love of money. This,
however, characteristic of tho pcoplo in ‘them
diggings,’ where they practice skinning stranger*
during brisk seasons and skinning om another
during dull limes, l.i due course of time I’, was
of age, and thought it time to get married. He
went ton neighboring village, and in the courso
of events was introduced to a daughter ut Judge
‘Ding fine gal,’ said tbo embryo speculator to
his friends who were gaining him entrance among
the elite.
‘ Very.’
‘ How much might Judge II. be worth 7'
• Why, about $10,000,' was the reply.
'And how many children has Judge II.?' con
tinued the enquirer.
‘ Only three.’
‘Three into ten goes three times and a third
over” mentally cyphered F. Here was a chance
—a glorious chance and lie improved it too. He
made love to the beautiful and unsophisticated
dauhgter of the Judge with all tho Variations.—
strange to say—for ho wu» as uncouth looking
a cub as ever went unlicked—his suit prospered,
and they were married.
The honeymoon pasived off, a* all other honey
moons do, and they wero happy. The bride
lively and chatty, and often made allusions to her
brothers and sisters. Htartled at the number of
names lie thought should not he in the catulogi
of relations, one evening at teu, he said :
‘ My dear, 1 thought there were only three of

Taken at him offer.—A friend of ours s ay*
tho editor of the Waterford Sentinel wire taken

We will insert all marriage notices fora kisso

A few days after, a plump looking colored girl
e.tiered Ids office, for tlio purpose of informing her
friends, nnd the colored gentry generally, that she
had taken to herself one Sambo, 'for bottor or for

]Aile, but whether they kissed, deponent sayotb
dozen miles, wo bent our course thither, and
-—ed on the morning of the fifth day—the dis
tance being but seventy-live miles. Our route
was through a part of Duval, Columbia, and Ham
ilton counties. In the latter wo found what is
called a suhterrane<m* stream, which burst*
through a rock some forty yard* ftom tho river’s
bank. Its velocity has been estimated to be equal
to sixty horsepower. The house built over the
.Spring is eighteen feet wide, (Die width of the
spring) and two stories high. Here, In mild sea-
•ions, l.e numbers, “ not waiting for tho troubling
of waters,” fur it has its curative qualities with
out. Tho wonderful powers it possesses to help
tho it llhetcd is astonishing. We wore told of
any with various diseases, liver complaint, rheu
matism, and even u case of leprosy who were
urt'd. The latter was a poor man who had been
earned to the Springs by the humane, with the
assistance of the neighbors about the place. A
little hut was erected near by, and the water easi
ly poured on him. In a week or two he was as
sisted into tho bulb, nnd in a few months he was
perfectly restored to health, having a new and soft
skin, new nails and a handsome head of hair.
On his first arrival, he Imd tho appearance of an
aged man. He went away a fine looking fellow
ol ubout twenty-five years of ngc, and what may
bo considered the better part of the tale is, he has
been to California sinco and dug himself a for
tune. This would seem an extravagant tale, but
its truth is vouched for by many respectable per
sons who ure conversant n.«. <••.»
Around the Spring are many settloir.onts—one
of them owned hy a North Carolinian. I could
givo his name, but am not authorized so to do.
Many years sinco lie wns afflicted with liver com
plaint, and had spent nearly all his living upon the
physicians, who failed to heal him. Ho came,
washed, drank, and was cured. I could mention
many others who have been restored, but the abovo
will suffice. My desire is to recommend these
Springs to the notice of tho afflicted, being satis
fied it is more palatablo to drink und be cured,
than be quacked with, spend all your living, and
then he turned over to Ihe grim messenger, with
“I huvedone all I could,” which in every sense
may he true. The proprietor of the Spring is
llryunt Sheffield, Esq., who is unfortunately a crip
ple from rheumatism. His nerves were contrac
ted before he visited or owned tho Spring, and I
have every reason to behove, if, while he was be
ing cured, ho hud endeavored to regain tlio use of
his joints, lie would have succeeded as others have
since. Mr. S. owns the Uotol sumo eighty yards
f rom the Spring, capable of accommodating from
fifty to sixty boarders, lie is unablo to do more
than direct affairs, hut his lady, our hostess is
one of tho most iudola'ifcable, obliging souls I ever
*aw, and docs her utmost to please all who call.
We t*red well,und the water wo drank gave us
unbounded appetites. 1 was advised to remain,
with the nsaurunco thnt tho use of tho good wa
ter would make a young man of me; but having
soeii my threescore years of sorrow, and having
nearly outlived all iny friends, 1 returned to my
home on tho .St. John’s, improved in health only.
Hoard at the Spring is cheap and moderate.
Before closing, 1 must say to my old Georgia
and Carolina friends, that with half the industry
they exerefoe at home, they can make a fortune
here. Why will the poor men of Etiinghain, Bul
loch and Chutham counties wear away their lives

nuro had boon put upon it since it was first tram

there is no falling off in it, but that it is now as
good as over.
Near the Ocean Fond, in Columbia county, the
land is capable of producing, and lias produced
this year, from a thousand to twelve hundred
pounds hlackseed cotton per acre. Wherever you

you cannot leave tho seaboard of either State for
more limn twenty-five or thirty miles und find tho
hlackseed grown, while boro you will find it all

phere which surrounds it.
Un our return we overtook several carts, one
ol tho owners of which was known to my friend.
He had been some years hi Florida, and pointing
ton bale of cotton in his cart, he observed—“Till*

Guano—Modo of Application.
T his manure is attracting the attention of our
planters very generally, and many inquiries have
been made of us, from varioua sources, as to the
proper method of using it on different crops. Know
ing nothing about it ourselve*, we have applied 'to
a gentleman who war known to usaa an accomp
lished agriculturist, and who has had some expo*
rionco in tho use of Guano, to give us, briefly,
sotne information with regard to it and to the me
thod of its application. Below will be found hi*
'otter in repiy to cur enquiries, which wo commend
to the attention of our agricultural friends. Ma
ny individual* design to employ Guano upon tho
crops of corn and cotton, which are soon to bo
planted, and in a year or two wo shall have, ft om
their experience and observation, a well-settled
and regular system in use. Destined, as we be
lieve it is, to work a revolution in our system of
planting, and to attach our farming population to
our soil, by its powerful agency in renewing and
reviving it when worn out, we shall watch with
interest the result* which will follow its first ap
plications in our State, and in the mean-time, fur

You winh me to state the best mode of applying
Gtmno—the quality to be applied, &.c. With u*,
now in Delaware nnd in Maryland and Virginia,
where the largest quantity of Guano is used, tho
usual und uhnost nniversal practice is to sow it
broadcast, at tho rate of two or three hundred
pounds to tho acre, and plough it down.
My course is, to give you the detail—tho manu -
nl of operations, as follows : The Feruvian Gua-
on tho descciption we use, comes in bags contain
ing from 160 to 180 lbs. each. We haul out as
many as wo want to tree for tho day, in a cart or
wagon, with a tight bottom—empty one bag at a
time—soparato tho lumps—fill tho power’s bag
with the fine, and having first run out tho lands
wido enough for two casts, or one round, about
twenty foot, start him off, sowing'll ns you would
Wheat or Oats, except taking larger handfuls,
as 200,lbs. is equal to about ‘J 1-2 bushels. A
man at the cart, with a mallet or maul, beats up
the lumps fine, having more rondv, or plunks may
be put down on tlio ground to boat it on. The
sower itt immediately followed by tho ploughs.—
All sowed during the day should he ploughed
down, and the deeper the better. In Fern it is al
together used in solution, putting it into water
and applying this to the growing plants. This is
on account oi tnotr not nfia ary climate, wnere u
seldom or never rain*. We effect the same object
—get the necessary moisture by ploughing it well
down in the moist earth. All direct application
of the pure Guano to tho seed, the plant, the hill,
or even the drill, is attended with risk, for it is of
a very heating nature. If put well down at the
bottom of your cotton bed*, it would probably do ;
but 1 think I should prefor broadcasting—tho
growing crop would even then get tho most of it,
and it would belter improve the land. Its effects
very visible on the second crop.
up tlio price upon the farmers, at one time as high
as $65 to a ton. The Peruvian Government
have two agencies in this country for the ttalo of
Guano: Messrs. F. Barreda &. Brother, Balti
more, and Theodore W. Ridley, of New York.—
They only sold in lots of fifty tons nnd upwards.
Our Agricultural Society, that meets in Baltimore,
appointed a Committee last fall to wait upon tho
Me roars. Br r reda,—a correspondence ensued, and
they finally agreed to hcU direct to the farmer,
without the intervention of tho merchant, any

Winter Iron Works.
Wo copy from the Montgomery Times, a no
tice of this extensive Southern enterprise, which
we ure gratified to learn, is doing a profitable bu-
sinosa. We learn that it is tlio intention of the
proprietors of this establishment to soud to the
next Fair, to beheld in this city,one of their fino
finished Engine*.— Augusta Constitutionalist.
From the Montgomery Weekly Time*.
Manufactures.—Wo have concluded, hoping
thereby to infuse into publie sentiment a spirit of
emulation, to givo a series of short chapters, upon
the mechanical and manufacturing imorests of
Alabama. And behoving os we do, limt the “Win
ter Iron Works,” is the most extensive as well as
profitable, we slmll lead'off with some facts connec
ted with, its success, internal management, capital,
profits, 6lc. We believe that tlio “ Winter Iron
Works” is the most splendid of mechanical estab
lishments in this, or almost uny othor country-
whelher wo regard tho style of workmanship,
system and order prevailing throughout its oi
lha
prevailing throughout its entire
operation, the character of the operatives, tho
quunlity of work which is daily executed, the re
muneration to the proprietors, overseers and bonds,
or tho novel method of securing the zealous ser
vices of the most efficient talent in tho manage
ment of each different department. Tho style of
workmanship is acknowledged to bo of the most
superior character, being iuventod, dr ifted and
improved in many respects upon the «-!d; while
good order is so preserved as to impress every visi-
’i’lio quantity of work done in the establishment
averages from 7 to 8 hundred dollars per day.—
'I’lio proprietors receive a handsome return for
their labor and capital; the different foremen
(some four in number) by salary and contingent
profit*, make near three thousaund dollars each;
the journeymen tare paid from 2 to 3 dollars,each
per day, while the apprentices (who are numer
ous, many of them suns ot wealthy planters) re
ceive |two to three hundred dollars a year, each.
Tho proprietors give file soveral foremen of this
establishment, independent of a fixed salary, a cer
tain share of tlio nett profits. This certain and
contingent salary system of p.n v, wit* adopted tho
first ol January, 1850. when the enure stock was
invoiced, &c., wiran ..It parties were so well satis
fied with its pr.ic.icul well working as to adopt
tho experiment as a permanent arrangement.—
Although hut four or five years have elapsod since
tho corner stone of the “Winter Iron Works”
was laid, such is the fumoof it abroad that large
ordors for Steam Engines and Saw Mills have been
filled within the past year, for citizens of South
Curoliua, Georgia, FIc

This branch of tho business has received the espe
cial attention of the Senior proprietor. The Ju
nior Wintor, J. S., is tho principal manager of
the establishment, and although Ins knowledge of
(lie business dates with the beginning of the
“ Wiuter Iron Works,” in his knowledge of Me-
chanica and Water Power, lie has no superior.
Some idea may be formed of tho quantity of
work turned off in 1862, When we mention the
fact that forty-four Steam Engines wore begun
and perfected during that fiuio—and the most of
them sold to men who had gone North to make
a purchase, but who preferred Alabama work both
ns to price, finish aud durability. Although the
“ Winter Iron Works” gives employment to over
a hundred hand*, tho most of llie work is dono by
