Catastrophe at Lawrence.
BQrSomo of the incidents of tlie late

The streets ore.thronged with citizens

of friends, or examino the bodies

These unfortunates pre<ent a most
pitiable spectacle. Many of them lto-
veringbetween lifo and death, and are
bruised by tlio falling mass, or
blistered by tlie flames, that recognition
is very'difficult; others escaped with
unmutilatod features and less serious
bruises. All who retain consciousness
exhibit remarkable fortitude in their
distress, and but few expressions of
pain are heard among the helpless vic
tims.

and blistered faces present a picture of
unutterable horror. The hospital of
Scutari not the bloody field of Solferino
could have notexhibitodamorofrightful
scene. Bending over several of the
lifeless forms were their female relatives,
bemoaning their loss with a low wail
ing, which would havo melted the stout
est hearts.
Before the fire broke out among the
ruins, voices of many persons wore
heard, who wore apparently confined in
open spaces formed by tho material of
tlie building as it fell, and who appear
ed to bo not much injured. Tho prog
ress of tho conflagration soon brought
those imprisoned victims to a most terri
ble death.
Brisking oct or the. Fins.—About
9 o’clock, a fire broko out from the en
gine-room at the south end of thelmild-
ig, and soon spread over the whole
Lin. Tho scone now was heart-sicken
ing, according to every description.—
Conscious of tho tortuous death which
awaited the’ unfortunates whose suffer
ings had not been ended by death, the
the bystanders were unable to afford
them any relief.
In ono cose one of those persons was
helped to a glass of water by parties
who were endeavoring to extricate
them. She said that near her, sepera-
ted only by single beams, woro six men,
utiiqjured. Alas, they were all consu
med in the flames, which spread with
great rapidity, llow many were thus
burned there is no data for estimating.
A person who was at the fire from its bo
ginning, became cognizant of throe par-
ties of individuals—from four to six in
number—who thus perished.
Tho vicinity of tlie mills looks very
much liko a fast charnel house, ns lit
ters, having on them corpses, are con
stantly passing through tho streets in
tliat quarter.
Tub Scx.ni at tiie City Ham..—The
Iiali of the city -government building was
used os a hospital forsuch of tlie wound
-od.As it;was deemed necessary to convey
thither.
On one psllot lay a little girt, with a
beautiful pule countenance, knit with
tho Auffpitug she could not conceal, yet
unmurmuring. She was watched over
bya weeping Mend, apparently her
father, anil my heart was-, rejoiced at
tho announcement by tho physician
that'she was pot dangerously, though
'Severely, wounded.
: 8till furtlicr, on a pallet, was a young
woman groaning with pain, from several
broken bones, intcrnnl injuries and a
bruised head. Half a dozen disconso
late fyiendsweye about her weeping, for
the physician had said she must die.
• Near.the platform was it poor German
suffering excrutiating pain. Ho could
not talk English, and no one from tlie
“fatherland” had found him. His cose
too, is feared to be liopoless.
. On tho opposite side are tlirce girls—
all young and beautiful, but with the
cold liantl of death already laid upon
thorn.
Many others were there who alono
would excite tho sympathy of those who
saw them. A large room on the corner
of tho hall had been set apart as n de
pository for tlie bodies of tho dead, and
this was literally covered with .mangled
corpses. Young men, and those Jiast
the meridian of life, women and young
girls, all lay there—a ghastly sight to
behold. •
Previous to the fire, two sisters were
together and comparatively unhurt.—
They would have beon rescued. Hear
ing tho itiar of flames, they exclaimed
“Oh God 1 we have got to ilie.”
' Another woman shrieked out pite
ously that her hair was burning, hut the
flames soon after silenced her.-
The mayor of Lawrence has publish
ed a notice stating tlmt the number of
dead and missing is 115, and of wound
ed 165. Of tho latter some will undoubt
edly d^e, but much the larger part it is
thought, will survive. Other accounts

“Let go the colt, and liaiig on to the

■' l ‘‘A vxi> Laiirii!.”—Mr..Chambers says
the verses of this song, which Rre in a

of Finland, upon Annie, ono of the
■four daughters of .Sir, Robert Laurie,
'first Baronet of Maxwelton, by ids sec
ond wife, who was a dnughtcrof Riddle,
of Miuto. As Sir Robert was croatcd a
Baronet in the year 1785, it is probable
that tlie verses woro composed about

tlie 18th contury. It is painful to re-

rable abyss of misery. Yet tlie South
is denounced for not at ouco immola
ting four thousand millions of property
guaranteed to them by the Constitution;
lor nor at onco abandoning to weeds
and brambles millions of fertilo acres;
for not breaking up their entire social
system, and either driving their ser
vants from their comfortable homes, to
become vagabonds in other States,
which will again drive them out of
their borders—or else harboring in tlieir
midst, hordes of discontentoi, indolent
vagrants, utterly unfit for freedom, who
would certainly bo exterminated, un
less in mercy they were again reduced
to servitude. Because they will not cjo,
all this; will; not inflict' (his suicidal
wrong upon themselves, and try this

tlieir best convictions of duty, they arc

to be pillaged und murdered in cold
blood by their own fellow-citizens, wlip

butchery,” . ...
ggjrTho following is an extract from
Senator Iverson’s speech in tho Senate
on tlie loth inst:
He hoped that tlie .South, in tho np-
proacliing Charleston Convention, would
demand a clear enunciation and
enforcement of her rights. Tlio am
biguities of tho Kansas Nebraska bill,
and of tho Cincinnati platform must
be discarded, unless a man above all
suspicion was put in nomination for
tlie Presidency. Mr. I. indicated Mr.
Senator Hunter, Vice President Breck-
onridge, and tlie Hon. A. II. Stephens
as gentlemen for any one of whom he
would cheerfully vote without requiring
a platform in advance. But he hoped
thattlie delegates from the Southern
States, as a condition precedent to any
nomination, would demand a recogni
tion of tho right' and duty of Congress
to protect slave property in nll-the Ter--
ritories of the Union, and, failing in this
lie thought it would only remain for
them to withdraw anil reorganize tlie
party on sucii a basis ns should secure
the equality of tlie States. He thought
it likely that at the approaching elec-
a consorvatire man might be chosen to
tlie Presidential Chair, but lie did not
doubt tlmt the “irrepressible conflict”
would go on until it ended in a rupture
of the Uniou and the formation of a
Southern Confodracy.*' .'
Decline or the Opposition ' Strength
in the Northwest.—The following table
exhibiting the Opposition majorities in
the Northwestern State* at the last eloo-
tions, as well as those of 1856, shows
how tremondously that school of poli
tics lias declined in popular favor. The
total vote is os large if not larger than
it was in 1856:
1859 1856
Iowa .3,000 16,900
Wisconsin 4,000 18,000
Michigan 8,000 20,000
Ohio 10,050 46,000
Illinois, in 1858, gave2000 Democrat
ic majority; and in 1859 it was 29,000
Opposition
Indiana, in 1858, was 3000 Demo
cratic; and in 1856 it was 1900 Demo
cratic. •
The result, therefore, is, in those six
Northwestern States, tlio Opposition ma
jority of 120,000 in 1856, has been re
duced, by the late elections, to 23,000.—

Jl had been made in England, by treating
burnt bones with sulphuric geld, and by the
formation of sulphate of lime, thni abstract
ing one atom of lime Item the bones, a solu
ble phosphate had been tunned. In 1847, J.
J. Mapes made a aeries of experiments, thus:
he found, analytically, that Peruvian Ouatio
contained the necessary elements for insu
ring tho growth of plants, but not In the
right relati ve proportions to each other. He
instituted a series of experiments, practical
ly. by which he proved that one hundred
pounds of burnt bones, treated with fifty-six
pounds of sulphuric acid, thirty-six pounde
of Peruvian Guano, twenty pounds of sul
phate of ammonia, formed a mixture every
way superior to Peruvian Guano, and tliat
it would nut excite the soil, but would con
tinually add to Us fertility.
He hud found that one barrel of blood,
fTesh Irom the animal, mixed with a cord of
organic mutter, would, by fermentation, pro
duce a manure equal to a cord of well rotted
stable manure, lie further found that sov-
ontcen barrels of blood, when dried, would
mnko ono barrel, nnd that blood could bo
procured at compuritivrly little cost, iu cer
tain sections ; tliat it could be dried by cook
ing and pressing so a* to produce a dry now-
dor, and by-adding to tlio above named in
gredients an equal weight of dried bullock's
blood, a manure is formed one hundred pound*
of which are cpual in [lower and lusting ef

COTTON SEED FOR SALE.
O F TIUS new and splendid variety, origi
nated and established by tbe subscriber,
surpassing in production ull uplands an I
“Jethro” in fineness of staple, which I gave
teu years ago to agriculture and commerce,
and established fur it a special demand with
the manufacturers at tlie “ World's Exhibi
tion” in London, and has continued to coin-
mond the highest market value of all up
lands.
In those sections of the Cotton region,
where “Sea Islands” have been introduced
and cultivated as the atapla crop, the 1. X. L.
will supercede them when known, bel.-ig as
fine in staple, and seed well adnpted to the
operation of the lung Colton Gins. The crop
being more productive, profitable, and relia
ble eyory way. Tho plunt differs in charac
ter from all other varieties, being strong,
vigorous aud stocky—leaves deeply serrated,
and present n singular lively, green glazed
color—bolls long and large,’frequently two
growing oppositely at the joints, and ’single
ones at the juurtioii of the main stalk and
branches | maturing and picking qualities
unrivaled, bearing uniformly until frosts cuts
oil" tho ernii.
Has uot been subject to the disease of oth
er Cotton during rigbtyonrsoxistenrn.
Having devoted many years to the success
ful anil prn.tirai improvement of the great
staplo product of the South, and testing
sororely the relalivo merits of almost every
variety introdured within the last thirty
years, regarding alio the present nctivo de
mand and future promise for tho finer class
of upland Cotton in a greater ratio than any
r criod since tho creation of the Cotton trade,
do confidently recommend to the producer
the I. X. L., at tho most valuable and pro
ductive
SEED.
Also, of tho old-fashioned Mexiean-hre- d,
known all over the planting region a***IStit,'
or what is the same thing, the “ Gnlf Hill"
seed, which has proven itself in the long run
the healthiest, hardiest, and most productive
evor introduced of tlie short staples, but was
unfortunately discarded or adulterated by ad
mixtures with wo. thless sub-varieties. Tiieae
seed have been presorved pure and unadul
terated for thirty years, and are the identical
»f tbe famnui “Arundo” brand, and main
tained its position at the head of the New
Orleans market, always bringing more money
the whole crop round, than any other sold in
that market. Any one one onco familiar
With the original “Mexican” Cotton, can
readily identify them as the “Simon pure.”
As far maturing, productive nnd picking
qualities, no variety, including all the -Subs”
end “Prolifics” ever originated, excel in nnv
one quality, tho Mexican parent. All, all
exhaust before the season is ended, if a into
one, except the I. X. L., and tbe
“McBRIDE,”
A very productive short staple, and a great
favorite with those who know it bast, nave
smaller seeds limn all others, and the only
two varieties that are uniform aud run out
tho maturing season. To plant a crop with
only a tingle hand does not meat tha premia a
