T3a<e Oeoaegia 'W'eekly Teleg raph, and. Journal <fe Messenger. Telegraph and Messenger.- MACON, DECEMBER 14, Political Effect of the Fifteenth Amendment. A oonversatien with a prominent citizen of this State, a (few days 'ago, who recently had a long talk with Moses iH. Grinnell, .Collector of Customs at New Work, and other Republican leaders, gave-ns some insight into-the reaWe- signs and desires of that party, >in pressing with so much energy and audacity *the ratifica tion of the pendinglfifteenUi Amendment It will be remembered‘that that amendment establishes universal suffrage In Hie United States, withont reference to race,--color, or pre vious condition. Its .ratification'Would open the ballot-box, (therefore, to the negroes of the North and West, as well as the-South, and add largely to Radical majorities instates where the vote is now dose. Mr. < Grinntfl told the gentleman above 'referred to, that it was espe cially intended’to- secure- the- votes of the great States of New Yotk, ©hio and RemiSyivania, in perpetuity, to tho'Radical party—that with it ratified, that party-could rely -on an addition of forty thousand -votes in-New'.York, twenty-eight or thirty thousand-in 'Pennsylvania aoQ forty thousand in Ohio to (their-strength, asal that with these Statessecured, they could oount, with almost absolute-certainty, on power for at'least twenty years to come. So far as the-South was concerned, -these leaders did not expect,-they-said, to-isacure more than a temporary * success down-, hero. Grinnell said that the-South -would-ultimately be Democratic, and -would, continue so. *He expected nothing else thanlBemocratio-rulo in all the Southern States, not-even excepting Sonth Carolina ftnd'Mteatesippi. ’ In reply -tc*c remark, with reference to the propagation of Radical ideas at the Sonth by means of a “loysfi” press, he said that,-while he<wcs willing to eon- tribute from his own private purse as much as, $10,000 towards establishing a’Rsdical paperin Georgia, he know 4t would be. money wasted, and that nothing could result - hut failure. He said that, though the leaders o54he Sonth were disfranchised as to -office, they -were not, and could not be debarred from talking and writing, and that their influence was obligad to be pow erfully felt—enough -so at least, io-cecure every result they desired. 'In short, ‘Mr. Grin nell evidently considered the 'South a “lost ban.” We believe these viewsare tboseefthe think ers cf the Radical party,-the men -who furnish its brains and shape its coarse. lAnd we And much encouragement iujtiiem,eyen allowing that their hopes of national supremacy are-realized. With the South Democrat*;, welded Into a com pact mass, and moving as-a unit towards tho fulfillment of her glorious-destiny, we can se cure, peace, order, and prosperity at homo, and most respectful consideration-.from other sec tions. •• When the West grappies with theJ2ast, as she surely will, some day,.oa questions that touch the pockets, and not-tho .passions and prejudices-cf their people,-the-Sonth-caa-and will make her own terms. ;Sbe -can put iher own price nppn her alliance. 'TieUnion. may stand, while t^ce endures, and ;the great ques tions settled by the war agaenstitbe South rest undisturbed in their graves forauer, bnt still time will bring us these and more driumphs^=- The South is bound yet to be the arbiter, of this country’^ destines. Let the pessimist whose eyes, owl like, blink at tho radiance of-the com ing dawn, close -them if he wiS. The day is epeeding on when to refuse to tee it will not only be imbecile but impossible. “ J 1.■*• ■ The. Next Cekses-—The Conriee-ffoxrnal’s Washipgton special -qtfUednesday stye that the new census bill among-o'.her things provides for a general,superintendent and census boreaa, to be located at Washington. It provides that the census, instead of being token by the United States Marshals, a: heretofore, shall be pf.aood in charge .o£_ district superintendents in each Congressional district, to he appointed by the President. - Each district snj^rinteedent is em powered to employ as many enumerators as may! be necessary,to take the eensmj. within the time fixed by the .bill, between the*.lct and 80th of June. Provisions are made in.-tho bill for a more. careful^ollcction of all thafnets regard ing the commercial, 8gripul(bral„pianufaetnr- ing, mining, fishing, and indeed all.the indus trial and material;interests. Statistics are to'be gathered regarding educational; religious, re formatory and criminal matters, And.ev<erything that affects society. In regard to the apportionment of represent ation, ihe committees tjeave left the number .of representatives blank, although the number-of three hundred was talked of. This, ft was esti mated, would give one, representative for eyery 133,000 inhabitants, the pjpsent number bqiqg one for every 128,000. ’ ^ At the la to army reunion General Sheridan- addressed his comrades thus: “I cant make a speech, bnt if you want me to tear up a railroad or bom a haystack when the enyny is going to get it, and,—and—and—.Atkl he ’and-ed himself back into Ha seat. ‘ * V The reason of afltois is plain. ^Neither that crowd nor the world in general pe«Js any assu rance of Sheridan’s disposition and powers as an incendiary. In the way of tyranizing over women and children, btnrninghous.es and barns, destroying household and kitchen furniture, stealing stock, and breaking np .plantation utensils, Sheridan is the most valiant hero,the world ever saw. The Legislature and the Gmcus.—The Ethiopia dignity of the Sonth Carolina Legisla-". tore was thrown off its equipoise the other day: by the arrival of a circus in Columbia* The strains of martial music were too much for Sambo, and thereupon De Large, the colored, leader of the House, rose and addressed that body as-fallows; “Mr. Speaker, de Circus bab arrove and.dar fore I moves dat we adjourn”— which was gone accordingly, likewise, neverthe less and notwithstanding. The.Missis5i??i Legislative.—Ames? bay- onets did their ..work thoroughly, judging from the complexion of this body. Ont of thirty- three Senators the ^Radicals elect twenty-six, to three Democrats, with jive districts to hear from. In the House, the.Democrats only elect seven members, to seventy-onejladicals, with twenty- three counties to hear froap. The Floridian says that -ilr. A. M. Ferrel, who is fishing at Mash's Fishery on the Ocko- lockonee Bay, caught at one haul with a seine a few few days ago one hundred and forty bar rels of fish, (mullet) all of which he saved and sold, netting hipa about $000. Estipiating 225 to a barrel there vere 315,000 fish in the seine. This is the largest .catch we have heard of on . the Gulf coast. . -■ y A Washington special to the Courior-Joumal of Wednesday says there is a better feeling among Congressmen on financial matters and a universal opposition to precipitating specie pay ments. Legislation for a more equal distribu tion of the currency, and to increase the Na tional Bank note volume, is very generally fa vored. The Presbyterian Church.—The' Presbyte rians of Chicago held a jubilee meeting in that' city last Sunday over the successful re-union of that d<smmination in the North. No mention, that we observe, was made of that small branch ff the family left out to tite cold down South, rHOl For the Sonth. Under -'this »head,--theUBridgeport (Conn.)

All here seemed animated with an earnest de sire to become united with the United States, and consider that the only wav of getting rid of fhe 'troubles to which Ihe Haitians are continu- aPy subjecting them. They are ignorant and uneducated, and possess none of the refine ments of civilized life. Thetofeest houses are pot .comparable with those of -the lowest me- ohanlcs’in onr country, but they-do not pretend to anything but good order and tranquility, and extohd-titeir hospitality with a grace that civil ization, cannot imitate. When i’orte' Plata is reached, I will have traveled ^50 miles, and have had a good chance to observe the population, their habits and the resources of the island. I have been over twelve counties, stopped at twenty towns and villages, visited every jitjTe settlement that I heard of, and crossed most of the principal rivers. I have been domesticated,ipth people of every class. The opinion I have expressed in favor of the policy of recognizing'their independence is am- changed. Though me inhabitants are not all white, yet the number.of blacks is small com-l pared with the whites acjl mulattos. They poe- ; sees nearly all the elements of a respectable na tion, and give great evidences of future im provements. So much for the Doroinlo$C3, who are report ed to be nearly all whites and mulattos. Of the Haytien negroes he gives a horrible report, from which we take the following.: Tp Happens,—Arrived at Fprt an Prince in time.to draw a comparison between the Do minicans and -Haytiens. The latter are hard ened and cruel. President Riche, who is mem orable for hayingput to death his wife and chil dren because they were mulattoes, marched with 20,000 men.to the south to orush out a re bellion, which he did, bnt not until the negroes had committeed the most horrid cruelties upon the mulattoes. All the tortures that human in genuity .could devise w®te applied to their vic tims. The greatest puni^iment inflicted upon ; any of the guilty parties was to make them! serve in the army. The morals and intellect are very bad in Hoyti. Religion is only known by tradition, and industry scarcely known at aJL The beau tiful valley of “Gul de .Sac,” which yielded in time of tho French HifiOOfiOO pounds of sugar, is now almost a perfect waste, and does not yield 500,000. Exports are decreasing from year to year; property has no security, learn ing meets with no encouragement, and the peo ple will eventually, if they have not already, sink into toe barbarity of native Africans. The United States have most of the commerce at the west end. The balance of the report is an arr .gument upon the relative prospects of the Do minicans and Haytiens, and the conclusion dra.vrp from its perusal is that the former will gradually become imbued with ideas of Chris- tianlty ipud progress, while the latter, rejecting all teachings, will relapse into a state of bar barism. Thus, as far bank as 1846, the observations of Admiral Porter, made independently of any race theory, confirm ail later experience—that to* negro left to himself relapses into his orig inal barbarism, and is kept within toe pale of civilization only by the r^gtraipiug power and influence of the white raoee, . r v i FROM WASHINGTON. Special Corrt9ponden.ee of TcUoraph and Settenpar. Washington, December 1859. Congress will do nothing of consequence• un til after the holidays. The understanding new is that both Houses will adjourn on the H8th instant, until some time in January. The daily session until that time will be brief, and-con fined to routine business. Quito a number Of .important bills have been already iutrodueSS, bnt no action will be taken on them at present. The galleries were thronged on Monday; tout since then, have been comparatively deserted. The lobby leaders have not yet arrived'for the campaign, knowing that the field 4s nat ripe®for harvest. Next month will see them here,“how ever, and things will move at a livelier gait. KBBKO EgUAUTV. In the Senate yesterday, Mr. Spencer intro duced a bill to amend, the aot-crf April?, '180, to protect all persons in their wfl rights, and to famish the means for their vindication. The following is a synopsis of the bill; “It provides that said act shaH fee-so construed as to extend to all persons within the juris diction of any State the equal proteotion of-Ks laws, and make all persons of color competent to testify in toe courts off toe -several'States, as fnlly as if they Vfere white persons. Ttalsoean- fers on the United States Courts ’juiisdicticn ef criminal cases in whkfo persons are invdhed who belong to the class of persons denied son® rights declared in first section of said actT” There is but one-opini on among Conservatives here as to character <ft this bill, ft-is regardet as outrageous and infamous, prejudicial to the interests of toe Bento «nd to the progress of xe- constrnefion. The National Intelligencer of tfeie morning «ays of it: Senator Spencer'* Wilis designed to- do <away- in everjrpart of toe ■oaontry with -every-known distinction on-aoco»nti«f color in-eneery relation | of life, eawe and except 4hat it does-not propose! lection of the. revenue, do they? Why not openly own the purp ose transparent to all, of. sending troops to ov era we the people, and to support toe nsurpatic ms of carpet-baggers and their ne gro allies ? Everybody knows that Georgia is os peaceful r .nd as law-abiding a State as any in the Union. But then she has toe andaoity to beproepero- os; and toe sconndrels who have fattened on her revenues and pillaged her for so long, fee r they may lose their grasp upon her treo8or y. Hence stories of Ktz-klux out rages are t ooked up; and, “His Excellency, Governor E iullock” sustains them by messages and proclat nations of a libelous and scandalous nature. I Such is” a true statement of “The Georgia In ibroligio,” of which toe Radical jour nals have 8 o mnoh to say of late. BE POET OF THE PUBLIC PBINTEB. From th e report of the pnblio printer I glean the follow! ng statistics, interesting to toe craft. The amoui it of earning of toe office in excess of expenditm res during the past year was $36,146- 28. The to tal cost of work done was $G89,486 82.

Tho number of typos employed at stated wages, male and female, was 524, and 490 at piece-work. The nnmber of employees in the bindery, male and female, was 518. WEEDING IN HIGH LIFE. Mr. Paul Gerard, the scion of a noble French family, and a brother-in-law of the Portugese Minister, was married last evening to Miss Marie Wormley. The fact .of the bride being, a quadroon makes the event one of some interest, and cause of general discussion here. Once before toe parents of the groom prevented a messeUiance by sending him to China. In this instance they were powerless, though the obdu rate papa has cut the ragh. youth off with a pal try $50 per month. 4flhe father of toe bride oS Ct p^toto“s^|i likewise rafosed to “come down,” though he is cial companions m It completely sweep* “toe -platter, however,-on ■every other point where any distinction is-now made between toe white and blackxeees.

Thgqe wbo suppose that toe pay of a Senator or Representative is 'his.pnly source of revenue, whilei3.Wasbingtoci, fee-very much mistaken. To these who know too-jg-s and outs of life at toe Cajpitol, however, a-ibiil introduced yester day by Senator TruntoclI^oscasions surprise, to say toe Jeast The objects/ the bill is to pre vent Congressional pmssnfe -for public office. It provides that any uiqmbq? of Congress who shall, jdirpcUy or indirectly, solicit or recom mend toe appointment to -office, by the Presi dent or Heads of -Departments, of any person, or who shall.uolicjt. or recommend the employ ment of .any-person, IP any of too Executive Department8,!.qzcept such recommendation be /in writing In response to a written request from toe President or,a-Head of (Depaataient asking ,information, orifcy a-Senator in giring his ad vice and consent jp the manner provided in the Constitution, shativbe guilty of a misdemeanor, and$n convictionAhereof shall bs fined not ex ceeding one thousand dollars for each offence.

I may safelyjiredict that this Dill will never, see the light again. It would be just as futile to attempt .to eat off other sources of emolu ment to Congressmen as this ope; for how, oth- efwise, could they provide tor their constitu ents, and at toe same time put money in their own pockets? .Should this biti pass, the .ex? penseg of an ejection would be equal to those of a contest fog a seat in toe Parliament of Great Britain, which few.of onr “Republican citizens” could stand. BAUD ON THE 8UF8ZHE COUBT.. As was predicted some time since, the first day of the second session of the 41st Congress wit nessed a Radical onslaught upon toe Supreme Court of toe United States. Senators Sumner and Drake introduced a bill the provisions of which are in flagrant violation of the Constitu tion, and toe object of which is to render not only toe Supreme Court, feut allFederal Courts, subservient to the will of Congress. This is an other and a long step towards centralization and despotism. The Supreme Court is toe last bul wark of toe liberties of a once free people. If senator Drake’s bill means anything it means usurpation, and usurpation in toe most corrupt form—a legislative despotism—of which Wash ington said, “it is the ' customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed.” Tho oath that the judges take requires allegiance to the Constitution first, and to the acts of Con gress made in pnrsuan’ce of it only. The bill of Mr. Drake, therefore, requires the judge to commit a crime. That matters little, however, to (he Radical party. No crime, however hein ous, will stop them in the pursuance of their object, which is to place the destinies of this country and its people, wholly in their hands. Should they succeed in their nefarious pur poses, their triumph will be short-lived; bnt toe country will be again drenched in blood, and will again undergo the throes of war. This no trne patriot desires to take place; but it is in evitable usgess a stop is pnt, and that speedily, to Radical aggressions. •qeoboia’s teodbles. Bullock, the mar-plot and misrepresentative of Georgia, is at bis dirty work here. He in duced toe President to recommend that the State be further reconstructed, and toe negroes reinstated in the Legislature, that he might se cure his election to toe United States Senate. To accomplish this he has lied and distributed lying affidavits. His latest effort is tons no ticed in the Republican of this morning: Supervisor Krzyzanowski, of Georgia, ac companied by Assessor Belcher, of tho Third Georgia district, arrived here yesterday, and daring toe day had an interview with Commis sioner Delano respecting too condition of affairs in that section of the State. Mr. Belcher is a colored man, and was appointed in place of Mr. Bowles, a relative of Senator Hill, of that State, ,and< it is alleged, toe disturbances in that dis trict are in the main due to this change. It is * question whether the Government will sustain Its own appointments. The supervisor also complains that the revenue officers in other sec tions of toe State are not as efficient and firm in the discharge of their duties as the interests of the revenue demand. In fact, without the aid of the military, it is doubtful whether tho revenue could be collected as it is in other dis tricts of the Southern States. The disaffection is attributed to the unsettled condition of po litical matters within toe State limits, and the attention of Congress will donbtless be celled to it without delay. There can be no doubt but that he of the un pronounceable name, and toe colored officia were summoned here to. sustain Bollock. They want more troops in Georgia to enforce the col- reputed well to do; but for the present the happy couple will reside at the mansion of Worm- ley, pert. There were no bridemaids or bride grooms at the wedding, which was attended al most exclusively by colored citizens. The cause •of miscegenation goes bravely on. Wbo next ? Dalton.

Washington, December 9—Senate.—Kellogg in troduced a bill incorporating the Mississippi Valley Levee Company according to the plan proposed by toe Lonisville Convention. The District Committee were directed to inquire into toe propriety of repealing the charter of toe Medical Society for rejecting negro doctors. Trumbull reported, with an amendment from the Committee on toe Judiciary, a bill relating to the appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court. The bill, as amended, declares that the judicial power of toe United States gives no power to the Courts to decide upon political questions, and that it rests with Congress to decide what government is the es tablished one in any State.

Manures; How and When to Use Them. It always affords ns pleasure to be able to present judicious articles upon the important subject of manures, their proper economy, eta The following, bearing upon some of these facts, will be read with interest and profit.- The hints thrown ont should be carefully considered and improved by every farmer, as they are practi cal in character, and in one form or other, are susceptible of almost‘daily application: “The best method of using stable or barn yard manure for com or potatoes, is to haul it freshly from the cellar in. toe condition in which it rests in the vanlte, spread it upon the plowed field, and harrow it in with a Geddes harrow. This is what is called ‘long manure,’ and is a form which, according to the opinions of many farmers, is nnsnited to immediate use ; also, it is objected, that in spreading fresh manure upon plowed fields and covering it only super ficially with earth, much of it is lost by evapor ation; or, more correctly speaking, certain vol atile gaseous constituents rise on. the breeze and are wafted away. In onr view, both of these notions are incorrect. The excrement of animals mnst undergo a kind of fermentation or pntrefactire change, before it is assimilated by plants, and it is better that this be carried forward in the field, as there it is in contact with the soil, which is greedy to absorb all the products of the chemical change. Creative power has bestowed npon dry earth prodigious absorptive capabilities. If a lump of fresh ma nure as large as a peck measure is placed upon a plowed field uncovered, and allowed to fer ment or decay in the-open air, the absorptive powers of the earth are such, that it will ac tually attract toicards it ammoniacal and other gases, and thus rob the atmosphere of its natu ral and volatile principles. A film of earth no thicker than the rind of an orange, placed over a lump of manure, will effectually prevent loss of manorial products, under all possible circum stances. It will be agreed, then, that a harrow is equally as effective as a plough in protecting manure in the open field. It is better to have the manure near the surface, as toe rains can reach it, and dissolve the soluble salts, and by percolation carry them down to toe hungry roots of plants. Long manure is not lost when deeply turned under by the plough, bnt the farmer does not secure the whole value of his dressing under this treatment in any case, and on some soils the loss is a most serious one. In the pro cess of soap-making it becomes necessary to set np a leach. Now, the farmer will not attempt to exhaust the tab of ashes of its potato by forcing water into the bottom and dipping the liquid off from the top. The natural percolating or exhausting process is downwards, in accord-- ance with the laws of gravity. The soluble al kalies and salts are driven downwards, and in the case of each we mnst have a vessel ready to receive them at the bottom, and in the case of toe same substances leached from manure, wo must have the manure so placed that plant roots will be at hand to absorb them before they pass beyond their reach. Manure is never so valuable as when it is fresh. It then holds in association not'only all toe fixed soluble substances natural to the solid excrement, but much that is of great value, found only in the liquid; It is in a condition to quickly undergo chemical change, and toe gas eous, ammoniacal products secured are double those resulting from that which has been weath ered in a heapi ont of doors for several months.” [Boston Journal of Chemistry. wide, twenty incheT^t^TrT : be made tight Hl.u. f6<5t deen. ba^lsof Wfigy," water; when thorough!, ^ inches with water.

It is remarkable how much vegetable, matter will add'to the growth of a tree. Thte is es pecially toe case with toe grape vine. A mere covering of leaves in toe fall will have an in fluence that is almost astonishing. Such is our experience. There is, however, a difference in soil, we find, so. as to cause a variation. A stiff clhy soil will not show toe effect so readily, and it seems to fail in showing a foil effect, perhaps, because it keeps the strength on the top, ns day is an absorber and retainer of fertility. But in a sandy or leachy soil—any soil that will let the strength down—we think nothing better for fruit trees, of all kinds, can be used than the simple application in the fall of veg etable matter in toe form of leaves, cut weeds or grass, grown the same year. It will afford a protection during the winter. The fall and spring rains, and the heat at the opening of summer, will prepare it for food, and continue to feed the roots the most of the season. Now, if a mulch is applied when the heat commences—of the same material, vegetable matter—with some deliquescent covering like ashes, plaster, or lime, there will, unless the soil is quite deficient in fertilizing matter, be a good growth—such a growth as is wanted—not extravagant, nor the opposite. In a quite ordin ary soil it will be sufficient. It will grow fruit— it will continue to grow it healthfully, remune ratively, not in premium crops, but in a per manent abundance. And this is what is wanted. Let ns apply onr light manure in toe folk and use it also as a protection from the heat, as well as food for the trees. Where the soil is a strong clay, it is best to-remove some of it, aud get down to the too la; then replace the ground. A few broken bones added while the ground is open will sometimes be of benefit, and be a last ing one. And we think it wilt do no hurt in any case. Do not use for one year alone; try for several. In ground disposed to let down the strength, there will be an effect almost at once. In such case the two applications are just the thing— one in the fall and one in toe spring, or the commencement of the heat, thus keeping up a constant replenishment, just what the tree wants. If tue roots of the tree are i.-ear the surface, nothing can be finer than tois applica tion. The forest has been teaching this lesson from time immemorial.—Rural New Yorker. The Roots of Plants. In his work entitled “How Crops Grow,” S. W. Johnson says: The quantity of roots actually attached to any plant is usually far greater than can be estima ted by roughly lifting them from the soil. To extricate the roots of wheat or clover, for ex ample, from the earth, completely, is a matter of no little difficulty. Schubert has made toe most satisfactory observations we possess on toe roots of several important crops, growing in the field. He separated them from toe soil by the following expedient An excavation was made in the field to the depth of six feet, and a stream of water was directed against the vertical wall of soil until it was washed away, so that the roots of the plants growing in it were laid bare. The roots thus exposed in a field of rye, in one of beans, and in a bed of garden peas, presented toe appearance of a mat, or felt of white fibres, to a depth of about four feet from the surface of the ground. The roots of winter wheathe observed as deep as seven feet, in a light subsoil, forty-seven days after sowing. The depth of the roots of winter wheat, winter rye, and winter colza, as well as of clover wfls three to four feet The. roots of clover one year old, were three and a half feet long; those of two years old clover were but four inches longer. The quantity of roots per cent of the entire plant in toe dry state was found: Winter wheat, examined the last day of April, 40 per cent; winter wheat May, 22 per cent; winter rye examined last day of April, 34 per cent; peas examined at the time of blossom, 24 per cent Hellriegel carefully examined the radication of barley and oats, and, for thte purpose, raised plants in large glass potts and separated their roots from the soil by carefni washing with water. He observed that directly from toe base of the stem, twenty to thirty roots branch off sideways and downward. These roots at their point of issue have a di ameter of 1-25 of an inch, bnt a little lower the diameter diminishes to abont 1/100 of an inch. Retaining tois diameter, they pass downward, dividing and branching to a certain depth. From these main roots branch out innumerable side roots, which branch ont again and so on, filling every crevice and pore of the soil. To ascertain the total length of root he weighed and ascertained the length of selected average proportions. Weighing then thq entire root Bystem, he calculated the entire length. He estimated the length of toe roots of a vigorous barley plant, at 128 feet, and that of an oat plant at 150 feet. He found a small bulk of good fine soil sufficed for this development— 1-40 cubio foot answered for a barley plant, 1-32 cubio foot for an oat plant In these experi ments Hellriegel observed also that toe quality of the soil influenced the development In rich porous garden soil, a barley plant produoed 128 feet of roots ; but in a coarse-grained compacted soil, a similar plant had bnt 80 feet of loots. Concrete Buildings. In the first place, make a mixing bed sixteen feet long, four feet wide, ten inobes high on the sides and one end, the other end left open so that it will-be convenient to shovel the concrete out Next a box is wanted to slake toe quick lime in. It Bhonld be eight feet long, three fee •tehes as a Fertilizer. Here and there a fanner makes eiDeri- with ashes; and still more less thoron-W tinned experiments. These we generally H the papers. But what do they teacknsi ' ways that it is well to sow ashes on grass ii and apply them on some other crop, there are few, if any crops that are noth filed. And this is not singular when: aider that potash is a necessity to p!a. and that toe soil, after many years' crc becomes exhausted of this as of; tilizers. Hence, where land has b and ashes have not been applied, it is r strong evidence that their application wiilltl benefit. There are tables showing the benefit of & these have been given in all the agricn papers, and need not be repeated here; 1 need be repeated often that ashes (petal not only necessary, but a very great adva: Ashes contain other matter beneficial t the potash.

All these are given to the soil in the i ashes; and, if largely used, the effect isi mented. Thus we see the advantage of i plentifully of this common fertilizer. Now, ashes have an immediate effect; prolonged effect. Thte is in consequent J some of the ingredients being more aM than the rest. Potash dissolves at once, i goes to the benefit of the plant So do other substances. The lime and pho?: acid act more tardily; and these are of i tance. It takes years to completely these, and while they are undissolved t all the while acting as a manure, slowly ij composing. Applications at intervals of years, tie would be the way to apply these; and in la ashes we have just these lasting elementA But, to get the potash and soda, andchb-l we must apply often—yearly. Hence it is if to apply often (yearly) and less at a time. F.J five to ten bushels to the acre would At good and a continued yield for mir.y; augmenting the crop much beyond the r the ashes. It will, therefore, bo seen that it is p< gain to use ashes, particularly on gnssj* (including clover) and on potatoes. I'"'" be used with advantage on all crops. Ashe* have anotbur effect.
