Washington, Jnn. 5.—The appear
ance of.Senator Mason in the Senate yes
terday, in a full suit of home-spun gray
Virginia cloth, attracted some attention
During the nullification crisis, Mr. Mc
Duffie, of South Carolina, appeared in
like dress, os did several other eminent
Southern men. During the Revolution
it was common in the South for gentle
men to woar home-spun garments, us a
matter, not so much of necessity, as of
patriotism. At Richmond the ladies
appear now at fashionable parties in
homo-spun cloth. All these things,
with the insecurity of the persons of
Northern citizens in the Southern
States, alluded to yesterday 'by Senator
Foster, are signs that, as another Sena
tor remarked in debate, "we are in tho
midst of a revolution, bloodless as yet.”
A revolution has occurred-in the South
ern mind, and it is not one that is like
ly to go backward. Tho Northern mind
is also, as wo have every reason to be
lieve, unalterably fixed upon the _ asser
tion of principles quite as decidedly
Northern.
Trenton, N. J., Jan. 10.—Tho State
Legislature was organized, to-day by the
election of C. L. C. Gilford, of Essex
county, as President, and @ol. Rafferty,
of Huntingdon, ns Secretary of the
Senate, and A. U. Patterson, of Mon
mouth, as Speaker, and D. D. Blnuvell, i
these officers are Democrats. Tho
Americans voted with the Democrats,
and received in return tho minor offices
of the House.
Another Lottery Letter.
Since our issue of the 17th, we havo
been show* another letter purporting to
be from Morris A Co., Baltimore, ma
king a similar proposition to the one
contained in the lotter from Gilbert &
Co. Tliore may be Lottery concerns
under tho management of men of these
names, but we are somewhat inclined to
beliove they are fictitious, and
theso letters aro all written by somo
swindler or company of swindlers to
those who are credulous enough to bo
decieved by such a shallow artifice.
Whether this be so or not the rascality
ought to be exposed, and tho public
warned against the imposture. The
whole system of Lottery schemes is
founded upon fraud and deception, and
should no more be tolerated by the laws
of tho land than any other species of
gambling. Tho immense wealth the
managers accumulate is the aggregate
of the hard earned wages of the laborer
and mechanic, for it is well known that
the poorer classes are the chief victims
of these concerns. They are deceived
by the plausible schemes whose client-
they are unable to penetrate. They
road in the public journals of prises of
thousands or dollars being drawn by
persons in various “localities," perhaps
some individual in their own commu
nity is the fortune favored one, and con
stantly thinking and wishing they final
ly confidently beliove they are destined
by one turn of tho wheel to be n.ised
from poverty to competency, or even
affluence and thoy deny themsolves or
their families, the comforts and perhaps
the necessaries of life in order to lay
up sufficient to buy a ticket which
never draws anything hut a blank. We
know of an honest hud working man
in this place, whose sniftty^as overseer
amounted to three hundrou dollars and
in one year he invested seventy-five of
them in Lottery tickets which of course
returned him nothing. When asked
why ho allowed himself to be duped,
he replied he had thought so much
- upon the subject that he was satisfied
he would draw a prize, and had even
dreamed that he would, a very nat ural re
sult of so much meditation. There are
thousands of just such cases. We hopo
we may bo ablo to induce somo to aban
don tho foolish attempt to grow sudden
ly rich in this way. We assure them
that nearly, if not quite all tho "splen
did prizes” aro arranged for a few indi
viduals for the purpose of “croating an
excitement in certain localities that
will tend to increase tho business” of
the Lottery managers. Wo havo hoard
of at least one person hero who re*
sponded to ono of the letters received
at this office and remitted Twenty Dol
lars, from which ho will never hear
again. Wo hope ho is alone in his mis

P RIOR TO the year 1817. Superphosphate
had been matte iu Englamt. by treating
burnt bon s with Mtiphurie acid, and by tho
.ormutinn o»' sulphate oflime. thus abstract
ing one atom of lime from the bones, a s In -
bio phosphate bad been (brined. In 1847,.I.
.1. .Mnpe- made a series ol experiments, tints:
lie found, analytically, tlmt Peruvian Guano
contained the necessary elements for insu
ring the growth of plants, but not in tho
right relative proportions (o each other. He
instituted a series of experiments, practical
ly, by which he proved that one hundred
pounds of burnt bones, tr at«d v.itb fnty-six
pounds of sulphuric acid, thirty six pounds
of Peruvian Guano, twenty pounds of sul
phate of ammonia, formed a mixture every
way superior to Peruvian Guano, and that
it would not excite the soil, but would con
tinually add to its Vrtilily.
He bad found that one barrel of blood,
fresh from the animal, mixed with a cord of
organic matter, would, by lermeutution. pro
duce i manure eijiial to u cord of well rotted
stable manure. He further found that sev
enteen barrels of blood, when dr'.ed. would
make one barrel, and that blood could be
procured at cnmparitivi ly little cost, in cer
tain sections ; that it could be dried by cook
ing an I pressing so as to produce a dry pow-
i.er. and by adding to the above named in
gredients an equal weight of dried bullock s
Mood, a manure is formed one hundred pounds
ol which ar«* epual in power and lasting el
