REDIVIVI7S.
Wo find in the Macon Ttkgraph, of Uu?23d
inst.. 11 graphic and interesting letter from
Mobil-*. This correspondence is evidently
the production of Mr. Cussr, and, like
overvthiug emanating from him, if conceiv
ed in the happiest vein. Among other topics,
our venerable brother thus treats of the Gulf
City’s champagne days and ambrosial night*
**The gay, festive and hospitable Mobilians
had the Press Convention, in one respect, at
disadvantage. Tho round of thoir hospital
ities wits pretty nearly as ceaseless as tho
Uiurn.tl motion of the earth; bnt they could
•end sh xueu into the field every day,
while "10 veriest Trojan in the convention
must tin 4 under tho wear and tear of so pro
tracted it campaign. Most of the conven
tion. however, stood up to tho work wonder
fully. Some half a dozen of tho older mem
bers were frequently missing at roll call, but
the younger and better soldiers steadily re
ported for duty."
As <»n« of the survivors of overy bout,
return to our professional tread-mill little
the worse for wear, but just a trifle out of
concert pitch for editorial composition.—
Among thoso who wero frequently reported
“dead on tho field of honor.” we must men
tion the gravo and reverend Seignior of the
Telegraph. From the diligenco, however,
with which ho kept his paper posted,
pect that while tho impetuous youth of the
party w. ro perpetually engaged in friendly
combat with the Mobilians, he was neither
dead nor sleeping, but quietly shedding ink
and eousmaihg paper. Wo give him due
credit for this flank movement, in return for
the applause he bestows upon others of his
associates who really could find no spare
minutes for anything but pleasure.
On the morrow, «*e propose to speak
detail of our Mobile experience, and trust to
gather a few grapes for popular delectation,
which our more ancient and experienced
seniors have spared or disregarded in tho
vineyard.—Augusta Constitutionalist of ytstei-
day.
While we heartily endorse all that our
venerable cotempomry of the Telegraph says
in tho above quoted paragraph, ws at the
same time feelingly sympathise with our
festive young friend of the Constitutionalist.
Having passed through .the same trying
ordeal with himself, and though some few
yours his senior, having conducted uim home
from Mobile and seen him safely lodged in
his. sanctum, after rattling over some hun
dred miles more of railroad to our own
hoim*, it is very natural that we should feel
“a little the worse for wear,” and something
more than ‘*a trifle oftt of concert pitch for
editorial composition.” For the same reason
we must defer what we may find to say of
our "Mobile experiences” till to-morrow.

•• Hiplj|frijayt r ,in Albany, a
Pft^r ty-H£ Jr-,
was read on the Protection of the Ballot
Tho author asserted that political virtue and
political vice wero not monopolies* bnt were
common to all parties; and that* aa the ex
tension of suffrage was the popular panacea
for all evils, it was the solemn duty of all
good citizens to protect the purity of the bal
lot He considered the electoral colleges as
'a source of fraud, and should, therefore, be
abolished. A careful and complete registra
tion list would do much good. Mr. Adams
considered the d*ip« of women to the suf
frage unanswerable, and regarded the “sud
den elevation of the negro as a portentous
experiment, and one likely to lead to a still
fhrther deterioration in the purity of the
ballot”
All but a few fanatics, says the Bichmoml
Whig, seem conscious of the great evil of
universal suffrage, but each and all combined
confess their impotence to avert the evil.
As gerui&in to this, we find the following
remark by Mr. Bayard in the Senate:
Mr. Bayard said the whole object of the
dominant party was to preserve their supre
macy by the degradation of the suffrage.—
They would fail iu this, but they would ruin
the country.
SAY YOU SOI
The Tribmi gravely announces that all ef
fort* hitherto made to civilize the American
Indians have “failed for the reason that those
who made them did not consider that man
progresses fey short advances, never by in
cluding in one enhance and in one age the aggre
gate of advances which have marked through
many ages the progress of the Caucasian race."
To which tho World replies:
Are you there, old Truepenny? Wlmt
chastisement, then, do not your ltadicals, in
and out of Congress, deserve who have risked
the wholo future of American liberty by in
sisting that we shall “include in one ad
vance,” for the ignorant and degraded slnvcs
of the South, the “aggregate of advances
which have marked through many ages the
progress of the Caucasian "race” from tribal
servitude in the East up to universal suffrage
in the West ?
Trouble with Colored tq«a< In
Hampton* VtrginU-HtsJ.tancs to the
Shert*-3HlUary Aid, »*; f
Foutress ItoxuoB, tetotmry 20.—There
has been quite an excitement in Hampton for
the pest day or two, occasioned by Borne
colored “squatters” resisting the shenflt who
was serving writs of ejectment an them.
Some eight or ten shanties built on the farm
of Mr. St Clair, near Hampton, were built
by colored persons during and since the war,
and are still occupied by them. Mr. St Clair
has tried in vain to prevail upon them to pay
their rent or move off, and finding that len
ient measures were of no avail, he resorted to
the law and put the matter in the hands of
the sheriff Captain Titlow,' who, armed with
the writs, proceeded to the premises to ex
ecute them, and was forced to leave, one of
the negroes producing a doable-barrelled pis
tol to hasten his departure.
The sheriff procured the aid of some citi-,
zens of Hampton and returned to the scene,
bnt was again driven off amid a shower of
stones by the negroes, by this time largely
reinforced. A uergenut and guard were seut
from Camp Hamilton, and they were also
compelled to retire, the sergeant deeming it
imprudent to fire. The whole company was
then ordered from Cnmp Hamilton to the
scene of trouble, when the sqnattera left the
cabin in which they had gathered, and the
shanty was torn down.

Arkansas Miljtia Outrage.—The State of
Arkansas, truly says tho Richmond Dispatch,
has been the greatest sufferer of ail the
Southern States, through domestic strife and
brutal murders of that bestial militia or&uu-
iz«»d there under the pretence of preserving
peace. The cost of this excrcable militia
a uounU to $150,994 44. Of tho items wero
jny, $100,320, quartermaster stores and sub-
•istarw c, $12,919 Cl. If wo consider how
small Uh< last item is we see how tho tatter-
denial ioiiH must have stolen. There is noth
ing in the list to indicate real service. Steal
ing and murdering innocent people occupied
tho time of the organization. The item of
pay is large, but precious little of it will get
Into the hands of the negroes. Tho carpet
bagger* will, by the aid of the “little joker,”
filch the main jrnrt of it before the very eyes
of the poor deluded blacks.
The Cfcyfidasmp in Cuba. —General Dulce’s
proclamation of February 12th is published
in the Havana newspapers. After stating
that the proffered amnesty to the insurrec
tionists had been rejected by them, and de
ploring the necessity of adopting severe
regulations, ho publishes a decree • re-estab
lishing the censorship of the press, and
directing that violation of the orders on the
subject shall bo considered acta of malfeasance
to bo tried and punished by court-martial. It
is further ordered that any aggreaion by act
or deed against any of the delegates of tho
government, shall be considered as an act
against its authority, and its author subject
to trial by court-martial. Suits at law already
commenced are to follow the course marked
out by the civil law, and are not to be subject
to tho military law. 0
His Remains Sent to his Constituents.—
Senator Rich, a member of the Sen&to of
North Carolina, died last week in Raleigh.
His remains, attended by four Senators of
the North State, were taken to Vermont. The
Sentinel 6tates that when the Senate voted the
resolution directing that four members should
accompany the remains of the dead Senator
to tho place of interment, they supposed that
that place was within the District represented
by the deceased; but they were carried to
the place of the nativity of the deceased,
from which ho so recently came to the South.
This is quite illustrative of the state ofthings
here in the South—the governments of the
ten Southern States being so muchunderthe
control 0/ strangers—mere adventurers for
plunder.

THE CABINET.
Though nothing definite is known of the
Cabinet, and will not be until March, tho
papers continue to speculate on the subject
The impression gains ground, says the Rich
mond Whig, that the Cabinet will be com
posed of leading and very advanced Radicals.
These will be better able to manage Congress
than Conservative Republicans; and they
themselves will bo less able to do mischief in
oflice under a Conservative President than in
Congress. Policy, therefore, say the papers,
will dictate a Cabinet of this sort, and if they
don’t work to suit the President he can dis
miss them; and there is no more effective
mode of destroying the influence of mischiev
ous politicians than by putting them in office
and theu putting them out.o
The Texas Convention.—The New York
World says “there has been a row in the
Texas Convention, and the thing has burst
all to pieces.” A carpet-bagger by the name
of Sumner and a colored man did the job. It
appears that the Convention had expelled
Senses, whereupon the colored gentleman*
indignantly resigned his seat, and got up an
opposition Convention. Sumner was made
Sergeant-at-arms to this new Convention,
which has been recognized by General Can be.
What became of the old Convention is not
stated, except by implication, that it was dis
persed by bayonets. Peace !
Maggja Mitchell Married. -The Toledo
Blade say* that in July last, Mr. Henry T.
Paddock, late of that city, and Miss. Mag-
MrrcHEix. the accomplished and popular
actress, were united in marriage at New York,
which place they intend to make their future
home. As the lady had a number of profes
sional engagements to fill, it was deemed
best to keep the fact of her marriage a secret
from the public, and it was made known to
but few of the friends of either party. Mr.
Paddock left Toledo last week to take up his
residence in New York.
The Senate having finally passed the Houro
bill to prohibit the use of autographic far.
simile stamps as a substitute for franks, the
members of Congress, it is alleged, are busily
engaged in hurrying off their documents be
fore it becomes a law, as after March 1 all
stamped franks are worthless. It is estima
ted that a quarter of a million of dollars an
nually will be saved to the Postofficc Depart
ment.
Poor Old Constitution.”—The Radicals
have torn and mangled the Constitution to
such a degree that they now hold it in con
tempt, as they press on in the work of chang
ing the character of the government. The
New York Times says:
Senator Nve declares that it is his inten
tion houccforth to “leave the poor old Con
stitution alone, and attend to the pressing
practical questions demanding the attention
of the Senate.” It is to be regretted that
General Nye, as well as a good many other
Senators, had not arrived at this decision
sooner; they would have saved the “poor old
Constitution” a good many heavy blotcs and
some very damaging wounds, as well as the
country a great waste of time, and secured
legislation of a practical sort, of which it
certainly stands in pressing need.
How Gen. Grant Talks.—Forney's dis
patch to the Press of the 19th says:
Since Congress has declared Grant Presi
dent, he talks without reserve to all bis
friends on all questions; and although he
{rives no sign as to individuals he will place
in hit Cabinet, he does not hesitate to declare
himself a fervent Republican, and that he will
•elect no men who were not true during and
since the war, and who did not heartily co
operate with the great Republican party in
the recent campaign
So says'FoRXEY; but as.the old negro song
goes—

relative merits of
PHOSPHATIC AND AMMONIACAL
GUANOS,
Which has been confirmed by all who have used BA
KER'S ISLAND in years past. See certificates Nos. 1
and 2, to which many others of similar import could
be added, one from Mr. Peabody, of Muscogee.
Savannah, February 20, 18C9.
Mr. G. B. Lamar, Sr.:
Dear Sir—You ask my opinion iu relation to the
separate mcrita of Peruvian Guano and some of the
highly charged 8uper-Phosphates as fertilizers. Allow
me to premise my reply by saying that each of these
valuable fertilizers contains elements of nutrition
which have their respective and appropriate places,
and oxcrciso their characteristic functions in produ
cing many of the vital phenomena# of plants, so that
to secure a healthful and vigorous vegetation and a
good fruitage, both of which are desirable, ought not
to bo ignored. Tho Peruvian Guano, however, is but
suited to strong soils, Mid its advantages more deci
dedly obtained by mixing it with compost manure,
which will absorb and retain its ammonia. Charcoal
and rotten wood are also admirable absorbents—the
former being known to take up ninety times and tho
- latter seventy-two times its own volume.
In light and sandy soils, in hot weather, the am
monia escapes with moisture, in the form of carbon
ate, on acconut of its great volatility, and in wet
weather, as it is readily absorbed by water, much of it
is carried down by capillary attraction too low to be
within reach of the roots and spongiatea ot most
crops, and it is, therefore, largely wasted. Crops, that
like the Cotton Plant, have long tap roots, get more of
this nutricen* element, under such circumstances.
This last named result, however, iv prevented when
there is a sufficient substratum of Alumina (pipeclay/,
or the Oxide of Iron. From ita caustic nature, also,
when undiasolved, i| should be placed three or four
inches below the seeds sown, or it may impair their
vitality. Under favorable circumstances, however,
Peruvian Guano produces a rapid and vigorous devel
opment of the plant, but does not, alone, supply
enough of phosphorus to make a largo fruitage. And
yet the Nitrogen which Ammonia contains, Is indis
pensable to the plant world, and every description
and form of vegetable growth, is supplied with it.
Nature h**, therefore, made a beautiful and ample
provision for her wild nature growth found in forest*,
meadows, Ac., by the amount of Ammonia furnished
to the atmosphere by vast quantities of dead vegetable
aud animal matter, constantly undergoing decompo
sition, and sending off this element, in company with
moisture, to be brought down again in rain in thi
form of a carbonate.
About oue-quarter of a grain is contained in om
pound of rain water, so that by estimation three-ftithi
of un acre would, on an averrge, receive 88 pouuds o
Ammonia or 71 pounds of Nitrogen peraunum.
But Crops grown by cultivation for the sustenance
of men aud domestic animals, require a larger amount
of it than is generally found from this source, and
hence the introduction of it into artificial manures.
But this article alone will not meet the Farmer'
wants, whether found in rain water, in the virgin soil,
or in Fertilizer*; the maturity and perfection of thi
Fruitage, the heads of the Wheat, the grain* of Corn,
and bolls of Cotton, aro what he seeks. He must have
effect this object, aud have another element,
iu sufficient proportions or he tails to accomplish the
dertired results. Phosphoric Acid must be supplied
from some quarter, and for a heavier harvest than Na
ture's resources can supply, he must dopend upon
Fertilizers containing this element in some torm, aud
especially upon lands long in cultivation. Hence a
good Phosphatic Manure is most successfully em
ployed, whose main element is indispensable, and es
pecially to cereals.
The Super-phosphate ot Lime, then, of high grade,
if supplied with less Ammonia than is found in Peru
vian Guano, forms for our soils a better general Ffcr-
tiliaer than the latter article alone; or, when enough
of nitrogenous matter is found in the soil from organic
decomposition, superadded to the amount of Ammo
nia furnished by rain water, and, I may add, taken
iuto the plant, by the dust setting upon its leaves, or
absorbed by the moist earth from the superincumbent
air in contact with it, the Super-phosphates of a high
order will produce the moat desirable results alone.
Mr. D. Dickson’s mode of supplying this organic
matter by turning in the sod grass, pea-vines, leaves,
straw and vegetable mould, is an admirable prepara
tory measure for the successful use of Phosphates. -
Bone Phosphates, if well pulverized, furnish an ad-
mirsble article tor maturing crops, being more slowly
soluble than Super-phosphates, communicate their fer~
tilizing properties to the soil to more durable form,
and will show its results for two or three years.

G. B. LaMar, Eaq.:
Dear Sir—That others may be Induced to' avail
themselves of* like benefit with myself. T take plea
sure in adding my testimony to the great value of
Guano as a fertilizer. Wheat and other winter crops
are more benefltted by its use than any other fertilizer
K have ever used, leaving the land in a most excellent
state for for a summer crop of Corn, Cotton, Peat, Ac.
For the last two years I bought of you, through your
agent, L. R. Brewer, of this place, Baker’s Island
Guano, aud have used It to great advantage.

February 8,1869. j
I began the use of Baker’s Island Guano in 1859, and
used it continuously for three years. By the use of
200 lb's, to the acre for three years, old exhausted pine
land was brought up from 450 lba. of seed cotton to
the acre, to 1,000 or 1,200 lba. per acre. I regard s
genuine article of Baker’s Island Guano as ths most
reliable sonre* for the supply of Phosphate* of lime
that we have, and I prefer Baker’s Island Guano as a
Phosphatic base to any of the thousand and one 8u-
per-phosphates of Lime, or dissolved bones, cow
offered for sale.
[Signed] 8. C. EDGEWORTH, M. D.
This cargo, fresh from it? source, and warranted to
be pore and unadulterated, is equal to the Peruvian,
and superior in richness of Phosphate to any other
Pacific Guano; it ia well pulverized and needa no
grinding, and is now offered for leas than any, and,
inrealityfor lea* than its cost of importation. The
price ia only
