Agricultural
Bones*
The Country Gentleman contains a let
ter from H. E. Decker on the subject ol
dissolving bones with ashes. The process
refered to has been pursued to a considera
ble extent by many farmers. Mr. Decker
proposes to use only the ley from the ashes,
and states that in his experiments he ob
tained the desired result in twenty-four
hours, the time occupied in the compost ol
bones and moistened ashes being many days.
For the disintegration of bones this is, un
doubtedly, a cheap and effetive means; but
it does not prepare them for the greatest
immediate ussefulucss in the soil. It does
not dissolve the bonos, it merely breaks
up their organization, and allows their
phosphate of lime to assume a more finely
divided form, without increasing its solu
bility.
Phosphate of lime (the ashy part ol
bones) cannot be largely useful to plants,
on account of its insolubility. If it be
changed to super-phosphate, its immediate
value as manure will be increased ten-fold
and if, after having decomposed bones by
the aid of ley, we will apply them a stron
solution of sulphuric-acid, wo shall change
the phosphate of lime, to super-phosphate
and a sulphate of lime or plaster, tine
greatly cuchaucciug its value, while the
nmouia escaping from the decomposing gel
atine will become fixed by its union with
the acid.
The forest may he used for the same
purpose, though, as in the case of loaves
the mineral matter which it contains must
bo re-placed by the application of lime,'
ashes, &c., or the soil about the trees will
become impoverished. Manures compost
ed this month will be more than doubled
in value for spring use. The leaves, woods,
earth and otuer organic refuse will serve
as a retainer of manures made during fall
ami winter, and may be used unsparingly
with much economy.
All soils, except those of a very light
character, are much benefitted by being
pi ughed before the heavy frosts ot' winter
as the frequent freezing and thawings will
g.teatly increase the disintegration of their
particles. For the same reason subsoil
ploughing in October has a much greater
effect on the succeeding crop; (except on
wet lands.) than when deferred until soring
Tjnderdraining may now be prosecuted with
advantage, and as a proteecer against wet
springs and severe drought is of' the high
est importance.
The stables should be made tight and
warm, with good ventilation from, above.
Animals cannot avail themselves of all of
the fat-forming parts of their food when
exposed to loss of heat, as those matters
which would otherwise be employed in the
increase of fat, are required in the produc

To Correspondents.
We have received a well written vale
dictory address by a young lady of an ad
joining county. Her friends desire us to
publish it. We would like to gratify them,
and were this the only application of’the
kind likely to come up we would do so.
A production of this sort has to be remark
able indeed tu be readable. They are well
suited to the occasions that call th ;m for h

Rut they are nut designed for the reading
public, nor demanded by its tastes. It is
therefore better for all parties concerned
to withhold their publication.

A New Use for the Barometer.
A curious discovery by a Frenchman is
to the effect that a barometer will indicate
when a great cannonading is going on by
an extraordinary rise. On the 25th Octo
ber, the barometer rose in London more
ly we are so bewildered in this sea of
fashion, silks and satins, figures and pat-
erns insomuch that in self defence we must
ask the ladies to take the matter in their
own hands. We believe that there are
more than fifty fashion cuts in the Decem
ber number, besides a variety of others.
Time would fail us to specify. Commending
the subject to those whose heads will not
so easily be bewildered, we write a comma
for relief.
Smithsonian Institute.
We should he glad to know if there is
any truth in the following item from the
Picayune. And if so, who are the pifties
that are for abolishing the Smithsonian In
stitute. We apprehend that there is great
of the sect, while there are nations of the
same infalible faith acting out its legiti
mate principle* uncontrolled and produc
ing fruits by which all may discover, With
out danger of mistake, the . nature of the
tree. If Popery is tolerant, let us see Ita
ly, Austria, Spain and Portugal, open their
doors to the teachers of the Protestant
faith ; let these 'countries grant to Protest
ant Missionaries, as freely as we grant to
Catholics leave to dcseminate their doc
trine* through all classes in their domin
ions. Then may Popery speak of tolera
tion—then may we believe that it has felt
the influence of the spirit of the age, and
has reformed. But then it will not be
Popery. For Popery never changes. It
is infallibly the same—infallibly intoller-
ant.
The conspirator* against onr liberties
who have been admitted from- abroad
through the liberality of our institutions
are men organized in every part of the
country. They are’subordinates, standing
in regular steps of slave and master from
the most abject dolt that obeys the com
mands of his priest up to the great master
Metternich who oboys his illustrious master
Pope Pius the ninth.
They report from one to another like
the sub officers of an army up to the com
mander in chief.
There is a similar organization among
the Catholics of other countries ; and the
whole Catholic church is thus prepared to
throw its weight and wealth into the hands
of any Holy Alliance of despots who may
be persuaded to embark, for the safety of
their dynasties, in a crusade against the
liberties of a country, which by its simple
existence in opposition to their theory of
legitimate power, is working revolution and
i destruction to their thrones..
Now to this dangerous conspiracy, what
have we to oppose in the discipline of
Protestants? However well organized,
each according to its own manner, these
different sects may be, there is not one of
them that can by any possibility derive
strength through its organization form for
eign sects of the same name.
Nor is this a matter of regret. It is
right that it should be so. No nation can
be truly independent when it is otherwise.
Foreign influence, then, cannot find its
way into the eountiy, through any of the
Protestant sects, to the danger of the
State.
In this respect Catholics stand alone.—
They are already the most powerful and
daugerous sect in the country, for they are
not confined in their schemes and means
likcThe other sects, to our own borders,
but they work with the minds and funds ot
yet fro® the nature of things they are but
obedient instruments in the hands of their
more knowing leaders to accomplish the
designs of their foreign masters.
Republican education,- were it allowed
freely to come in contact with their minds,
would doubtless soon furnish a remedy Eu
an evil for which in the existing state of
things we have no cure. It is but to con
tinue for a few years this soft of lmigra-
xiL ai* a«vi a no- in its thousands
tion that is daily pouring -in its thousands
from Europe, and our institutions for
aught that 1 can see are at the mercy of a
body of foreigners, officered by foreigners,
and held completely under the contrail of
a foreign power.
We may then have reason to say we are
the dupes of our own hospitality. We
have sheltered in our well provided houses
a needy body of strangers who, well
filled with our cheer, are encouragod by
the unaccustomed familiarity with which
they are treated—first to upset the regula
tions of the household—and then to turn
their host and his family out of doors.

Study.
Study is the price of knowledge. Some
people seem to think there is a royal road to
learning—a north-west passage—a short
cut to wisdom. If there be, we have never
found it. It is not described in our mental
o-eo"raphy—we have no map or chart ii;
which it is laid down. Genius is everything
with some; and many who do not thi/ik so
much about genius think that great native
gifts and a high order of talents art indis
pensable to eminent attainments. We are
of a different opinion. Are there riot many
geniuses that are not worth their'salt, hav
ing made no progress in any branch of
knowledge, because of their indolent hab
its ? And are there not many persons of or
dinary endowments that have made great
proficiency in various departments of sci
ence? This is so. Do you ask why this
is so ? We will tell you. We have alrea
dy told you. The fable of the tortoise and
the hare illustrates it. Cicero; who was
no mean judge in these mattefs, says he
had always remarked that no uio over.be
came eminent in eloquence or wisdom,
without the utmost study and application.

Cotton and Slave Statistics.
The Southwestern News makes up from
the Census Reports some very important
Statistics, peculiarly interesting to the Cot
ton growing and Slave States, South Car
olina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama Missis
sippi, Louisiana, Texas, and Arkansas.
The whole area is 682,185 square miles,
of which : 21,675,682 acres are improved
land. The whole number of Slaves is 1 ,-
798,768, whose average rate of increase for
the last ten years is 54.46 per cent. The
number of bales of Cotton made is 2,204,-
521, averageing 1,196 hales per thousand
slaves average number of acres of improv
ed land per bale is 10,512.
Of Georgia the area is 58,000 square
miles; improved land 6,378,479 acres';
slaves 381,682; rate of increase for the
last ten years 35.85 per cent.; hales of cot
ton 499,091; hales per thousand slaves,
1,309; acres of improved land per halo
12.77.
These statislcal views are not limited to
the present. The calculations are caried
forward forty years to 1890 with the fol
lowing result: Actual number of slaves
according to ratio of increase in planting
in the United States (28.97,) 5,004,219.
Actual number according to ratio of in

world will be well supplied with Cotton.

Wc notice that many of the press favor
Mr. Clingman’s resolution brought before
Congress recently for the purpose of au
thorising the President to propose to the
European powers at war, to act as a medi
ator between them. We like the plan,
though we think it will be unavailing. The
causes that have brought about this war
lie deep; much deeper than the mere pro
tection of Turkey from being overrun by
Russia. But though unavailing it will
look well; from the lofty position that the
United States now occupy, it will be re
ceived respectfully by both parties. The
Czar we think is not satisfied with the
fight. If England and France were satis
fied there lias not yet- been blood enough
sacrificed to humble the unbounded pride
of the fornier, or the uucqualcd vanity of
the latter. Nevertheless we hope the
movement will meet with universal favor,
the more so, as public sentiment must back
the offici-.il act to make it worth a groat
in Europe. The unwise policy of the
Western Powers has-well nigh succeeded
in alienating piiblic sympathy on this side
thc Atlantic from them, this taken with
the fact that Russia has ever been our fast
friend, render thc question only the more
difficult of settlement. Let Russia he well
satisfied of thc sympathy of the United
States and she will he farther than. ever
from settlement. Ihc same fact will
act, though in a different way to produce
a like result- in the Western Powers, it
would re-open a wound that blood alone
will heal. Did the Czar say that the only
real principles of government were Absolu
tism and Republicanism? Open your
eyes Jonathan, extremes you know some
times meet. It is plain that both these
principles are antagonistic to limited mon
archies.; What if the Czar, now that Aus
tria has sided against him, should invite
Kossuth to visit St. Petersburg, should let
loose the democratic clement slumbering in
Europe upon her tottering limited monar
chies, who can foretell. the result. Can
not he play at this game as successfully as
England and France? We shall not be
surprised if events do not soon prove that
he can wield that element in Europe with
more success than the aristocracy of old
England or the mock republicanism ;of

SrF.ncEn.
Mr. Editor:—Our naturalization laws
having been a subject of recent and repea
ted discussion, 1 have concluded to ask a
short indulgence in your paper for the pur
pose of giving my views on the premises.
What I may advance may convince some
that there is good reason for believing that
the despots of Europe are attempting, by
the spread of popery in this country, to sub
vert its free institutions. Yet many may-
think that there are so many counteracting
causes in the constitution of our society,
that this effort to bind us with thc cast off
chains of the bigotry and superstition ol
Europe cannot meet with success.
It is a beautiful feature in our Constitu
tion that every man is left to worship God
according to the dictates of his own con
science—that the Church is separate from
State, and that equal protection is granted
to all creeds.
In thus tolerating all sects, we have ad
mitted to equal protection, not only those
sects whose religious faith and practice
support the principle on which the free
toleration of all is founded ; but also un
ique.—that solitary sect the Catholic.
which builds and supports its system on
the destruction of all toleration.
Yes,, thc Catholic is permitted to work
in the light of Protestant toleration—tc
mature his plaus, and to execute his de
signs—to. extinguish that light, and de
stray the hand that held it. It is no refu
tation of the . charge of intolerance here
made against Catholics as a sect, to show
that small bodies of them under peculiar
circumstances have been toleraut; or that
in this country, where they have ahvayi
been a small minority, they make high pro-
fesssions of ardent love for the Kepubli
can, tolerant institutions of our govern
inent. •
No one can be deceived by evidence sc

while it is still wet upon the dungeon floort
if Italy, while the intolerant aha anti-re-
pubjican . principles of Popery are meekly
thundered from the Vatican, and echoed
in our cars by continued arrivals from Eu
rope. - '
, Let me not be charged with accusing
the Catholics of the' United States with im
tolerance. They are too small a body, as
yet to act out their principles ; and their
present conduct does not affect the general
question in any way, unless it be,to prove
that-they are not .genuine and consistent

weight of- his infiuenco on either side, as
his interest may he, the command of his
superiors, and. the alledgcd good of the
church; (that is, the power of the priest
hood) being paramount to all other consid
erations.
This pliability of conscience so advanta
geous in building up any syatem of-oppres
sion, religious or politi- al, preseuts us with
strangely contradictory alliances. In Eu-
rope(Popery supports the most high-handed
despotism—-lends its thunders to drive the
people into the most abject obedience, and
maintains at the top of its creed the indis
soluble union of Church and State; while
in this country where it is yet feeling its
way (oh how consistant,) it, endeavors to
ally itself w 7 ith the democracy of the land
-—it is, loudest in its denunciations of ty-
rany—the tyrany of American patriots—-
it is the first to scout about oppression—
sees afar off the machinations of the Na
tive American Protestants to unite Church
and State,and puts itself forth as the most
zealous guardian of civil and religious lib
erty.
With such sentinels surely our liberties
are safe—with such guardians of our rights
we may sleep on in peace.
Another weak point in our system is
encouraging immigration, and affording fa
cilities to naturalization. In the early
state of the country liberality in these
points was thought to be of advantage, as
it promoted the Cultivation of our wild
lauds; but the dangers wdiich now threaten
our free institutions from this source, more
than balance all advantages of this char
acter.
Thc great body of emmigrants to this
country, are the hard working, mentally
neglected poor of 'Catholic, countries of
Europe, who have left a land where they
were enslaved for one of freedom.
However well disposed they may be to
the country wbieh protects them,. and
adopts them as citizens, they are not. fitted
to act with judgement in the political af
fairs of their new. country like native citi
zens educated from their infancy in the
principles and habits of our institutions.
Most of them are too ignorant to act at
all for themselves, and expect to be guid
ed wholy by others. ..
These others are of course their priests.
Priests having ruled them.at home per di-
vino jure their minds cannot ordinarily

tics, are as effectually excluded by their
priests, as if the code of Austria ruled the
land. They form a body of men whose
habits (for I cannot say thought)’ are
opposed to the principle otoour free insti
tutions, for they are not accessible to the
press—they cannot and do not think for
themselves, Eveiy unlettered Catholic
