From the Southern Recorder. Fertilisers and How to Apply Them. Washington County j February 13, 1867. j My Dear Sir—Your letter of the 9th inst., making inquiries as to the best commercial manures, quantity required to make it pay, as also its application to land has jnst reached me at this place. I have had so many letters of a similar char acter, that to answer them has become a source of taxation on my time, as also a great nui sance ; but when addressed by an old school mate. and one with such pleasant relationship as ourselves, I assure you it affords me pleasure to reply. It has ever been the practise of my life to serve my friends, and I only regret that Provi dence committed to my care so limited a share of efficiency, that I cannot serve them bet ter. To answer your first inquiry, as to the best commercial manures, I will occupy a position contrary to the opinion of many, as most brands of fertilizers have certificates of their superiority, and some such I have found al most valueless, and cculd mention some, but will forbear and answer your questions direct— that is, the best manures in my judgment. I have Lad probably as much expe rience in com mercial manures as most planters, and do not flatter iqysel£ in stating even more. You may recollect the State Agricultural Society offered a prize at its last Fair in Atlanta for the best experiment in commercial manures. As'a com petitor for the prize, I planted twenty-six acres in experiment, using all the brands I could get in our markets, as also in Balitmorc, of much reputation. As to the result, you can see by referring to the Fair. The next year I selected eleven of the best or most successful, and ad ded to the list W. Whitclock & Co.’s Cerealizer a favorite brand with some of my Hancock friends, which had just been introduced in Georgia. In see fully the crate army. I left for the seat of war in July, after its breaking out in April. At that time the contest was between W. Whitelock & Co., Turner’s Excelsior and No. 1 Peruvian Guano, the former evidently having the advantage, and my superintendent reported it held thro’ the crop. In my purchase for the crop of this year, I have ordered Whitelock & Co.’s Cere alizer aud Turner’s Excelsior. These are ma nipulated manures- I have also ordered No. I Peruvian Guano, Dissolved Bones, Salt and Land Plaster, to manipulate myself. This is a favorite fertilizer of my clever friend and dis tinguished planter, David Dickson, who recom mends a mixture of equal quantities of each, except the Plaster—one-lialf the quantity of the latter. For instance,' one hundred pounds each of Peruvian Guano, Dissolyed Rones and Salt, and fifty of Plaster. Yarious fertilizers have recently been intro duced, among them the Pacific Guano, which proved well on my crop of last year. No oth er of the recent introductions have I knowledge of, from experience. Here let me state tliG importance of a State Chemist who could do immense good in analyzing the vari ous fertilizers and give us some insight into their merits or demerits. W ell, as to tfie best ma nures, my answer is, I show my faith by my works. I think those I ordered are the best — POPPERAS AND MADDER. C l OPPERAS and Madder for sale by , WBW DENT. TOBACCO.

Mr. Editor—In a rcoent issue of the New Orleans Times, I notice an article speaking of the incidents attending the death of Gen Al bert Sidney Johnston, that does great injustice to a portion of the General's staff. It states in substance, that Gen. Johnston induced his staff, who were his intimate person al friends, to remain In the rear, whilst he with a single member of hi; staff - , and Pr. Yan- dell, rode forward, and was mortally wounded. Such, however is not the case. No doubt his kind and generous heart would have willing ly made the sacrifice, but it would be little to the credit of Ms staff bad they permitted it. I can speak positively for myself. He had given me his last order- I can never forget his appearance at the moment. He had witnessed the maiden fight of the 2d Texas, under Col. Moore, and we driving them-in every direc tion. “Lieut. Baylor,’’ said he, “go tell Gen. Chalmers to sweep forward toward the left, and drive the Yankees into the River.” With sparkling eves and flushed cheeks, leaning for ward in his* saddle, and waving his hand ma jestically as he gave the order, he seemed to me the personation of Houthern chivalry. Dr. Yandell was not with him, or the Yan kees might have been driven into the river.— As the General passed a he saw, lying prostrate and helpless. Confederate aud Federal wounded—in the midst and heat of battle—his great and noble heart was moved, and he or dered Dr. Yandell to stop and dress their wounds. Perhaps, too the old blue uniform brought back memories of happy hours passed with his brother officers, and he gave that courtesy a fallen foe that has been denied his remains. Gov. Isham Capt.

March 4.—The Thirty ninth Con gress closed its second and last session at 12 o - clock to-day. At half past ten a resolution was offered in the Senate by Mr. Anthony and adopted, appointing (in obedience to the man date of q Republican caucus) Beuj. F. Wade President pro. tom. of that body. He express ed “thanks and gratitude in very brief terms, and in an agitated tone of voice. \ ery little business was transacted.

No committee, during to make. These proceedings were conducted with due decorum, aud excited little interest in the few spectators in the galleries. In the House the expiring hours of the ses sion were marked by great uproar. The gal leries were crammed. The floor was packed with a dense mass of human beings, male mid female. About, a quarter to twelve some one on the Republican ride introduced a bill reduc ing the salary of the members, aud the yeas and nays were ordered with, however, no pos sibility of passing the bill. Here was an oppor tunity of humbugging the people, and as the call or the roll progressed nearly every Radi cal answered in the affirmative. Before the completion of the call the hammer of the Speaker fell, and he announced the expiration of the session. The Thirty-ninth ' CongVess, therefore, expired in the mid.t o? this appro priate piece of knavery, and may he said to G. Harris, of Tennessec^and j have literally died with a lie'in its mouth. It is the province cf others to speak of the O’Hara, and perhaps others of his staff, were j doings of that defunct body. It may be here with him when wounded. Gov.

I think iu dry seasons Whitelock can outstrip them all, and in wet, 1 have my doubts wheth er he has yet been excelled. 1 am not person ally acquainted with Mr. Whitelock, and know nothing of his integrity, but N. A. Hardee, of Savannah, tells me he is a man of strict in tegrity and high sense of honor ; at any rate, I have never been disappointed in a barrel of his manipulation—hence I have ordered large ly of his manure. I advise all friends not to use the Penman Guano alone, particularly on dry and thirsty lands, for in dry weather the cotton will fire and throw off the leaves and pods. Turner s Excelsior has been a favorite fertilizer with me, has proven well to crops as xkell as by analyst?. I would mention others tried in my expen- ment, but will not tax you with it, as your en quiries are only for the best. Your second enquiry as to what auantity will pay ? My reply is, to he'goVerucd by your supply. It will pay with from fifty to three hundred lbs. per acre. If you can apply three hundred and fifty I advise that amount. If you can’t apply more than fifty, Use that much ; you will be paid in good seasons from fifty to even as high as one hundred and fifty per cent, fof th6 money invested. Some .consider manures extravagantly high. My opinion is,' they will pay much better at present prices of cotton and prices of fertilizers than before the war. Cotton you know is not short of two hundred per Cent, higher than be fore the war, while fertilizers are not fifty per cent, higher. I am now backing my judgment by purchasing sufficient to apply to every acre of cotton I plant, even new grounds that has never been cultivated, but the tiniber is well deadened on it. Your third and last enquiry is as to the best method of application (of course you mean a cotton crop) and which is the crop that pays best with us. My usual plan has been to open a deep furrow, with either a double-winged plow or by running first a scooter plow and then reversing the direction' and running m the same furrow a large shovel or double 1 winged plow ; in this deposit the ’manure. Tit is not so material in the application of Whitelock that it should be put so deep—you you can put it in a furrow only ruff deep enough to prevent the weeding hoe from chop- it out when thinning out your cotton. When you deposit the manure in the furrow, throw your beds to it, and it is ready for planting. I mention the above as it has been my usual plan, but from experience I prefer a different method, which I advise you to adopt, at least in a part of your crop: I intend doing it in most of mine, particularly when the grass is most likely to annoy me. Run off your rows and throw two furrows to it—that is, list it up as usual *, this can remain or not, as you prefer. When yoti are ready to put in yonr manure, run a deep furrow with a shovel or double-winged plow in one of these listing furrows, and in that put the manure. I put the manure in from the hand iff weather that it will not blow away ; in windy weather I prefer the common gourd with a long handle put to it of sufficient length _ to reach the ground ; have it so punctured in the bottom that the manure will escape freely by shaking the gourd ; hold it in the furrow and none will escape ; some use tin trumpets, come machines, and are content with their plans. My reason for recommending the manure to be put in the listing furrow is on account of the grass grow ing so luxuriantly immediately over the ma nure vrhen put off, it gives you the advantage of nutting the sweep or cultivator to it and geitin"’ the most formidable gross off, which you will find is a great advantage. Don’t be afraid that vourcrop will not get the manure. I agree with my distinguished mend Dickson in The January number of the Southern Culti vator. that the crop will get it, if you keep it off the stumps and out of running water. I believe I have covered the ground of your various inquiries, and by following my sug gestions, or by adopting something better, I wish you much success. _ Your friend, “No,’ , e*J than I imagined, and will ride to the rear and find a surgeon.” He began to reel in hi3 saddle, and was taken by those with him from his horse, and placed in a ravine. In seeking for General Johnston, I met Maj or O’Hara, who asked me if I knew where he could get a surgeon aud ambulance. I then asked him where the General was ; he directed mo to him, and I told him where I had seen some surgeons at a farm house near by, and we rode together and found General Johston lying speechless. I took his hand and spoke to any him, but Governor Harris said : “It is useless, Lieutenant, he has been insensible some mo ments.” Governor Harris then asked for some brandy, which General Paterson handed him in a flask. I raised his head on my knees, and he swallowed the brandy, but became every moment weaker. Lieutenant Jack relieved me, as I had become cramped from being on my knees. In a few moments the General ex pired. The enemy had now advanced, and our troops were holding them at bay. Thus, amidst the whistle of minnie balls, the scream of shells, and the shouts of contending hosts, this noble spirit pissed away, and his hist act, which cost him his life, was pity and help to the Federal wounded! This act has been mis erably requited, but Ids jneuiory can never bo made infamous by such osdets as desecrate the dead. Many of his old oompwdons-in-arms m the U. S. A. will drop a tear hi memory of Albert Sidney Johnston, when they know how he died- V. YTHE had an equal in the single quality of fanaticism in the Rump Parliament of England, but that body had the palliating virtue of honesty. In audacity and a malignant and ferocious pur suit merely of prostrate opponents, it may have been rivalled by the National Asscni- but it was ithout the stimulus of pitriotism, which undoubtedly ac tuated that frenzied assemblage. But “the King is dead—long live the King!” No sooner had the Thirty-ninth Congress breathed its last than the Clerk announced the advent of the Fortieth, and commenced the call of the names of the new members, and upon its completion, Mr. Brooks rose and en tered a solemn protest, signed by all the Dem ocratic members, against the legality of the body to be organized as the House of Represen tatives. He pronounced this a fragment of the old rump Congress. In the defunct body ten. of the States of the Union were unrepresented ; in this seventeen, including Nebraska—only twenty States being represented on the floor. His remarks were dignified and cminenily befit ting the occasion. The subsequent proceedings have been fully anticipated. Colfax was duly elected Speaker, receiving the full Republican vote, with those of Phelps, of your State, and Robinson of New York, who are tor Lave l^cn accounted on th6 Democratic side. Mr. Marshall, of Illinois, was complimented with the vote of the Demo crats proper. The House concurred in the res olution for the appointment of a committed to wait upon the Executive. I learn that the President will reply briefly that lie has no com munication’to make. Indeed, be had no data upon which to found any suggestions, as I have fully explained would be the case when the bill was passed changing the time of th6 meeting of Congress. During the speech of Mr. Brooks he advert ed to the probability of ah impeachment of the President, and urged that as argument against the of the present House, iritimating that the attempt to oust hi in from bis office under the prposed organization might lead to serious consequences. When the Clerk, in calling the roll, reached the name of Butler, of Massachusets, quite a sensation was produced. " He answered, “here” in a weak and tremulous tone, in striking con trast with the manly and distinct vioice of Morrissey—the calling of whose name Also gave interest to the otherwise wearisome proceed ings. By the way, it is very current that But ler will seek immediately to take the ribbons from the hands of Stevens, and also run an op position line against Sumner and Wilson for the management of Massachusetts affairs. It is also thought that if Congress shall determine to adjourn shortly, the management of the im peachment will be left in the Hands of a oom- mittee, with power to call Congress together as soon as they shall have "completed the inves tigation. ' The Bankrupt Bill. The Bankrupt Bill, which the telegraph an nounces was “passed on Saturday, and only awaits the signature of the President to become a law, is very long, but the following will be found to contain the important provisions: Sec. 11. Prescribes the method of availing of the act. Any debtor whose debts, provable under the act, amount to over three hundred dollars, may petition the district Judge of his disirict, sta ting his insolvency, liis willingness to surren der his estate and a schedule under oath of his Virginia. The following is from a speech of Rev. Hen ry Clay Dean, of lowa, made a few days since in New Jersey : I dare speak one kind word for the oppressed in the very teeth of the oppressor. Since Ad am took possession of Eden, no part of his her itage has given to man such, an hundred years cf history as that of Ylrgifcia, beginning with the public life of Geo. Washington and ending with the surrender of the armies of General Lobert E. Lee. The great orator, Patrick Hen ry, whose spirit lighted up the first great revo lution, and whose mild, sweet voice, called ar mies up the valley and down from the moun tains to defend New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts from the invader’s hoof, was a Virginian ; George Washington, who led these armies, was a Virginian ; Thomas Jefferson, whose great soul encompassed the world and lifted its light upon a benighted age to teach it liberty, was a Virginian ; James Madison, who environed our right by a flame of living fire, which the most illustrious periods in the past and present century preserved unharmed, all that was sacred in life and precious in hope, the Constitution of the United States—was a Virginian ; John Marshall, whose luminous mini, guided by immutable justice, gave be ing to a most profound and comprehensive ju diciary, the bulwark of American institutions, the marvel of mankind, was a ^ irginian; Hen ry Clay, whose commanding majesty of soul drew after him whithersoever he went one full half of the moral affd intellectual powers of America, who did obeisance to his name, was debts and his creditors, with the nature of the a Virginian ; the Lees, Richard Henry, Arthur ! debt jn full, and an inventory, also under oath, T.

Alrttleboy struck with the new comer’s color, asked his ta ther “who painted him?’"The father replied. “God ffid ittqy son,” whereupon ^ ster expressed his surprise that he stood sill him do It!. Francis Lightfoot, Light Horse Harry, and his illustrious son Robert E. Lee, were Virginians: General Thomas Jonathan Jackson, the great military genius of the Western hemisphere, was a Virginian.

'The Judge shall thereupon issue a warrant, (or the Register, if there be no op posing party,) directed to the United States Marshall of said district, authorizing him to the entire history of the Government, has ever been charged with a more important trust.— The responsibility which it imposed was of op pressive weight aud of most unpleasant nature. Gladly would the committee have escaped the arduous labor imposed upon it by t!i<r Resolu tion of the House, but, once imposed, prompt, deliberate and faithful action, with a view to correct results, became its dqty t C-T-d to this end it has directed it^pfUnts. Soon after the adoption of the resolution by the House, Hon. James M. Ashley communi cated to tfie pbmmittee, in support of his charge against the Fresident of the United Stott s, such facts as Were in his possession, and the investigation was proceeded with, and lias been continued almost without a day’s inter ruption. A large number of Witnesses has been examined, many documents collected, anil everything done which could be done to read; a conclusion of the case. But the investigation covers a broad field, embraces many novel, in teresting and important questions, and involves a multitude of facts, while most of the witnes ses are distant from the capital, owing to which the committee, in view of the magnitude of the interests involved in its action, have not been able to conclude its labors, and is not therefore prepared to submit a definite and finid report. If the investigation had even approached completeness, thc'committee would not feel authorized to present the result to the House at this late period of the session, unless the charges had been so entirely negatived as to admit of no discussion, which, in'the opin ion of the committee, is not the case. Certainly no affirmative report could be pro perly considered in the expiring hours of this Congress. The committee not having fully investigated all the charges prepared against the President of the United btotes, it is deemed inexpedient to submit any conclusion Leyoii<l the statement that sufficient testimony has been brought bl its notice to justify and demand a further prus- ecution of the investigate >n. The testimony which the committee lias ta ken will pass into the custody of the Clerk of the House, and can go into the hands of such committee as is charged with the duty of bringing this investigation to a close, so that the labor expended upon it may not have heed in vain. The committee regrets Lc inability to defi nitely to dispose of the important subject com mitted to its charge, aud presents this report for its own justification, and for the .additional purpose of notifying the succeeding Congress of the incompleteness of its labors, and that they should be completed.

Rogers, one of the Com mittee on the Judiciary, dissents from his col leagues, saying the committee refuses to allow a report to be made giving' the evidence to the House at this time upon grounds which are no doubt satisfactory to’ themselves, therefore he would not report the evidence upon which his conclusion is based, which he would gladly do did the committee deem it expedient.^ The examination of witnesses'and the records was commenced, as appears by the majority rbport, about the time of the reference, to-wit: on the 7th <lay of January, 1867, and continued daily. A large number of witnesses have been exam ined, and everything done that could be to bring the case to a close, as apjtears by the majority report; and the majority catnc to the conclusion “ that sufficient testimony had been brought to its notice to justify and demand a further prosecution of the investigation.” I have carefully examined all the evidence in the case, and do rej»ort that there i$ not one particle of evidence to sustain any of tlie charges which the House lues charged the com mittee t6 investigate, and that the case is wholly without a particle of' evidence upon which impeachment could be founded, and that, with ail the effort that has been made affd the mass of evidence that has been token, the case - is entirely bald of proof. He further more reports that the most of the testimony that has been Liken is of a secondary (hearsay) character, and such as would not 1 Readmitted in a court of justice. In view of this conclu- closion, he can see no good in a continued investigation, lie is convinced that all the proof that could be produced has been before the committee, sis no pains haye been spared to give the case a full investigation. M hy, then keep the country in a feverish state of excitement upon this question any longer, as it is sure to end, in his opinion, in a complete vindication of the President, it justice be done him by the committee, of which Le has no doubt ?
