II Cotton Seed a Great Fertilizer. STATE UNIVERSITY—AGEXCULTUBJUL COLLEGE— PROP. WHITE’S ANALYSES OF COTTON SE1 D. Editors of tiie Herald: During the recent commencement of the State I’Diversity at Athens, Georgia, I visited tbe laboratory of Frof. White, who fills the Chair of Analytical Chemistry, «fcc. He is a young man of great promise—strongly at tached to his profession—is deeply impressed with the high responsibility of his position to the public. It requires but few moments’ conversation with him to inspire confidence iu his ability and learning, and before leaving i was fully assured in my own mind that the Hoard of Trustees of the University had been lortnnate in securing in him “ the right man in the right place.” Upon examination of some of the work of his class, I was greatly astonished at finding cotton seed so rich in Phosphoric Acid, Am monia, Potash and Magnesia. It seemed to me that I would have this valuable informa tion pnt in a practical form. I learned from him that he had analysed with hie class a number of the leading commercial fertilizers used in the State. I propose that from his books of results, that he furnish me with the relative value of twenty bushels of green cotton seed and two hundred pounds of an average commercial fertilizer, used iu the Shite. He did so; this was tbe result: •20 bushels (fiOO pounds) of cotton seed contains--“15 pounds of Ammonia, 45 pounds of Potash, 1)3 pounds of Phosphoric Acid, 15 pounds of Magnesia Acid.” Two hundred pounds average commercial fertilizer contains 10 pounds Ammonia, 12 •• Potash, 25 “ Phosphoric Acid, 4 “ Magnesia Acid. From the above it will be seen that if the planters of Georgia bad irop^applied less than ten bushels of green cotton seed to the acre on their cotton crops, instead of two hundred pounds of these commercial manures, costing trom six to twelve dollars per acre, they would have had a better fertilizer, made better crops, and saved annually many millions of dollars that have been thus expended. The practical planter in Middle Georgia, with pro per manure and good culture, can make one bale of cotton (500 pounds) to every two acres. This makes a yield in round numbers of twenty bushels an acre. If this cotton need, together with the debris of the plant, were put in the bottom ot the bed early in tbe season, thus preventing germination, he would have crop food for his cotton equal in richness to seven hundred and fifty pounds per acre of Dickson’s Compound. This being SPAIN’S struggles! the fire king. ...... Details of the Surrender of I Sixty Lives Lost by the Valencia. Burning: of the Wawassett.

Carlists in Possession of all of Northern Navarre. so, it is palpable that Commercial Fertilizers arc greatly too high, or cotton seed is esti mated vastly below its value. If Dickson’s Tompoond was taken as a standard in value at sixty dollars per ton at Augusta, it would be as cheap to buy cotton seed as a fertilizer at one dollar per bushel. Of course no snch price will be given for cotton seed for that purpose, bat the planter who grows them will not sell them at any price, but will use them as tbe better manure, and thus drive from tbe market all these fertilizers at tbe ruling prices, or reduce their prices from one-half to one-third of the present rates charged for them. Again, the above analysis shows the value of green cotton seed. Many planters are well satisfied that tbe feltilizing character oi the seed is enhanced by compost, or heaping in the bulk. I have always doubted this, for it is evident that by this process much of the ammonia, even with the greatest care, is lost. Prof. White has not been able to make tbis analysis up to this time, for want of proper material, but will do so hereafter. Some of the manufacturers of Charleston have brought in the market, within the last ten years, the phosphatic rock dissolved iu acid, for composting the cotton seed, which has been used at the rate of two to three of the acid to one of cotton seed, and it has given great satisfaction to those who have used it in equal quantities. Tbis preperation has sold in the interior from $30 to $35 per ton. The Professor says fifty to sixty pounds of sulphuric acid to the ton of cotton seed, properly applied, would completely destroy the germinating properties, and set all the ammonia. It will thus be seen that here is another great saving to the planter, for tbe acid will cost from 3 to 5 cents per pound, makes a dollar and a half or two dollars and a half per too, and thus accomplishing the same results at a saving of $25 to $30 per ton. These may appear startling facts to the impoverished planter whose expense accounts have up to this time devoured all the profits of his cotton crop. But they are the results of scientific investigation, and gild the future with bright promise of tba better day that’s ccming, when the bidden truths of science shall be unfolded to the sons of toil in developing the agricultural wealth of the country. 41 Dougherty." Albany, Georgia. New York, August in, 1&73. A Herald’s special from Valencia sayB that prerious tc the surrender ten thousand troops concentrated be fore the city under command of Martin* z, Campez, Solende, Velarde and Villacaua, and with eighteen seige cannon in position. The Junta proposed to sur render the city on condition that the commander of the troops guaranteed full pardon to all the insur gents, and expressed the apprehension that the insur gents would burn the city it these terms were uot ac ceded to. This proposition was made on the 6tb, and on the same day occurred the stampede from the city. The frightened people are equally alarmed at the pros pects of facing the bombardment and the excesses of the Insurgents. After two days parley and delibera tion, the commander of the troops rejected the terms, whereupon tho Junta and violent Intransigents took to flight at mid night to the port of Valencia, and there embarked on a steamer for Cartliagena, hooted at by the people. Out of fifteen batallions of volunteers tine© only re mained on the surrender of the city. Three hundred killed and wounded cover the losses on both sides, but the injury to the city and commerce is very great. One, hundred houses were damaged by the bombardment.

THE MANITOBA KIDNAPPING. The Governor of Minnesota Interviewing President Grant. New York, August 10,1873. Governor Austin and Mayor Brackett, of Minneapo lis, had two interviews at Long Branch, with the President, icgarding tho Manitoba affair. They ex. plained the whole matter, dwelling especially on the cruelty with which the prisoners are treated by the Manitoba authorities. They also sought to impress upon the President tbe necessity for speedy action, as they feared the people in Minnesota, unless some thing was done at once, would take the settlement of the case into their own hands. The President, accor ding to a dispatch, gave them to understand that un* less the matter was disjx sed of within reasonable time, demand in unmistakable terms would be made the British Government, and would be followed by further action. The President then asked the Gover nor and Mayor to reduce their statements to writing^ which they did and the papet was forwarded to Secre tary Fi„b, who will be visited to-day by its authors.

With Mr. Rolaut Col lins as foreman, llio jury proceeded to the examination. The first witness ‘ examined was tfio brevet wife of the murderer, Amos Allen. She tes tified that, in company with another negro woman, she was going to Mr. J. B. Rice’s plantation, aud on her way met deceased, Wiintcrly, and inquired the way; he showed them the way, aud afterwards walked home with her; arriving in tho neighborhood of her house, she saw Alleu approaching, with "veegeaucc iu his eye.” Alleu commenced abusing and after wards to striking her, when she applied to Mr. Jared Kent, on whose premises they were at that time; but Allen said tba 1 . ho was not afraid of Mr. Kent or any other white nun,and then started iuto the house. Iu the meantime Wimberly, not knowing anything of tli6 trouble, seated himself on the front steps lo “blow a little,” as he said, before goiug to his mother’s. Ths infuriated Alleu came around tho house, and ou seeing Wimberly, raid, “WUt's you doing here?” and then made a lunge at him wiili his knife, making a deej) wound in the groin. Allen then fled into the woods, making good his escape. The murdered man fell back on the floor crying “Ob, Lordy,” and expired in a fow minutes. This witness did not see the murder, but the woman who accompanied her to Mr. Rice’s testified that she stood directly opposite him, and was leaniDg over the gate when Alien struck Wimberly with the knife. The verdict was rendered in accordance with the above facts. We understand this morning that the murderer bad been captured, but cannot vouch for the authen ticity ol the rumor.
