PREPARED BY MITCHELL A CROASDALK,
Formulary by the Penn City Manufacturiig Company
IN recomineuding this Superior Fertilizer to the attention
of farmers and others interested in agriculture, wfehtim
for it the advantage of being perfectly reliable, fmuch su
perior to any other article sold under the name of Super-
Phosphate of Lime,) and one that the farmer can depend
upon as being hat its name purports,No. 1 Extra Article;
this Company, owning the entire Patent Right (granted by
the United States) for producing a Iree Phosphoric Acid,
thereby enabling them to produce a Soluble Phosphate of
Lime by the addition of Phosphoric Acid, fwhich is the in
dispensable nutriment of all plants,) instead of Sulphuric
Acid or Oil of Vitriol, (as heretofore used.) It is therefore
a much richer and more reliable manure, and one that will
not uuly do more good at first than any other manure, but
wiil last longer in the soil.
WiLBORJis’ Mills, Holstox Cos., Ga , Nov. 20, lSf.9
Messrs. Zeilin A Hunt :—Gentlemen —Since gathering in
my cotton crop, I am well pleased w ith the result of iny ex
periments made with the Super-Phosphate, prepared hy
Mitchell & Croasdale. I feel quite confident that it w ill pay
from ninety to one hundred percent, on my farm. My land
is what might he termed a kind of sandy loan. This year
being my first experiment, 1 was not informed what amount
should he put on to the acre. Iu using the four tons 1
bought of you last Spring, I put on at the rate ol one hun
dred and thirty pounds per acre, and Bin of the opinion
that about one hundred and titty pounds would j.a v nuich
better for the labor bestowed in the cultivation. The man
ner of using w as to lay off cotton rows with a Scutter Plow ;
plow pretty deep, and let hands follow after ami scatter the
Phosphate, and others with plows, and bed on, as part of it
was sown along the furrows. I want you to send me nine
tons more for next spring ; 1 think the prospect very good
to sell a large quardi.y iu Houston among my neighbors.
I am with sincere regard,
Truly yours, Ac.,

numerous references written on the margin.—

Our stout hearts brave the ice w inds bleak,
Our keen eyes scan the endless snow ;
All sign or trace of those we seek
Has past and perished long ago.
O, flush of h ope! O, joyous thrill !
Onward with throbbing hearts we haste,
For looming thtough the ice-fog chill,
A lonely boat is on the waste.
Sad recompense of all our toil,
\\ rung from the iron realms of frost,
A mournful but a precious spoil—
A relique of the lost.
Here be the arms, the sail, the oar,
Dank with tbe storms of winters ten,
And by their ineihausted store
The bones that once were stalwart men.
Their last dark record none may learn ;
Whether in feebleness and pain,
Ileart-siek they watched for the return
Os those who never came again.
Or if, amid the stillness drear,
They felt the diow9y death bed creep,
Then stretched them on their snowy bier,
And slumbered to their last long sleep.
He only knows whose work of hope
Was with them in the closing stiife,
And taught their spirits how to cope
With agony that wins to life.
lie only knows whose word of might
Watched bv them in their slow decay—
Sure pledge that death’s long polar night
Should brighten into endless day.
And when the sun with face unveiled
Was circling through the summer’s sky,
With silent work 9 of promise hailed
The symbol of eternity.
Welcome dear relit? ! witness rare !

Though death has set his signet there,

Our child, in tbe beautiful robes of the dead,
Lav calm on his last white pillow,
And the grief that he left us broke wild overhead,
As o'er the lost wreck breaks the billow ;
It seemed that our hearts in tbe desolate grave
Should be laid down to perish beside him ;
We (ell that our pleading no longer could save,
Nor our bauds from corruption divide him.
They laid him away in the cheerless hall,
Where the cold of the w inter was creeping,
Where the curtains flapped on the bare white wail—
So unlike the warm couch of his sleeping :
And the poor mother spoke, as they hid his dear
form—
That one moment most bitter and trying—
“ 1 have kept him so long in niy own bosom warm,
And now in tbe cold he is lying.”
They covered the coflin and dark fell the cloud
As we stood the dead sleeper surrounding,
Aud we saw the thick sky with the heavy raiu
bowed.
And we heard the loud storm-wind sounding;
Then tbe grief of the mother broke forth with a
wail—
The last heavy outburst of sorrow—
“ They are taking him from us all frozen aud pale,
It will rain on his grave to-morrow.”
Oh desolate mother! oh bitterest grief
That troubles the deep heart of woman !
It is well that God's hand holds the coming relief.
That our pains, like our pleasures, are human.
It is well that we know that the cold beats in vuia
On the spirit unchained and importal,
And that fails the broad sunshine, us well as the

Edgar Poc and IIIm Critics;
By Sarah Helen Whitman ; limld it’ Carleton , 183*1
Grand street, N. Y.
With loving care does the fair author of this lit
tle volume come forward to expose the Inaccura
cies which have been set forth by some of the bio
graphers and critics of Edgar Foe. The viciousuess,
or jealousies which prompted the disparaging com
ments of Dr. Griswold and many of the writers oa
the British Magazines are here most decorously
rebuked. Indeed all that we have to regret is that
our author did not give us a complete memoir of
this most exquisite of American Foots. Let us,
however, he thankful for what we get, particular
ly since we have here given the following interest
ing details concerning the Irishism of the Poe
family;—“Americans shall rule America.”
Those who are curious in tracing tbe effects of”
country and lineage in the mental and constitution
al peculiarities of men of genius may be interested
iu such facts as we have been enabled to gather in.
relation to the ancestry of the Poet. The awaken
ing interest in genealogical researches will make
ihein acceptable to many readers, and in their pos
sible influence on a character so anomalous as that
of F.dgar Poe they are certainly worthy of note.
John l'oe, the great grandfather of Edgar Toe,
left Ireland for America about the middle of the
last century. lie was of the old Norman family
of Le Poer, a name conspicuous in Irish annals.
Sir Roger le Poer went to Ireland, as marshal to-
Prince John, in the reign of Henry 11., and be
came there the founder of a race connected with
some of the most romantic aud chivaltous inci
dents of Irish history. The heroic daring of Ar
nold le Poer, seneschal of Kilkenny Castle, who
interposed, at the ultimate sacrifice of his liberty
and his life, to save a noble lady from an ecclesi
astical trial for witchcraft, the first ever instituted
iu the kingdom, was chronicled by Geraldus Cuin
breneis, and has been commemorated by recent
historians.
A transcript of the story, as told by Geraldus. .
may be found in ‘Ennemoser’s Magic’ and in.
‘White’s History of Sorcery.’ The bitter feuds ;
and troubled fortunes of the Anglo Norman set- j
tiers in Ireland are well illustrated in a recent gen- |
ealogical history of the Geraldines by the Marquis j
of Kildare, noticed in the Edinburgh Quarterly for !
October 1858. The disastrous civil war of 1327* j
in which all the great barons of the country were
involved, was occasioned by a personal (end be
tween Arnold le l’oer and Maurice of Desmond tlno t
former having offended the dignity ot the Dee- I
mond by calling him a rhymer. I
The characteristics of the le Poet s were marked
and distinctive. They were improvident, ad\ en
turous, and recklessly liravc. They were de ply
involved in the Irish troubles of 1641, and w reu
Cromwell invaded Ireland he pursued them with a
special and relentless animosity. Their Jarntlies
were dispersed, their estates ravaged, and tiieir
lands forfeited. Os the three leading
the family at the time of Cromwell’s invasion, £il
maedon, Don Isle, and Curraglunore, the last only
escaped his vengeance. The present representa
tive of Curraghmore is the Marquis of Waterford.
Cromwell's siege of the sea girt castle ajul fortress
of Don Isle, which was heroically defended by a
female descendant of Nicholas le I’oer, Damn of
Don Isle, is, as represented by Sir Bernard Ilurke
in liis ‘ Romance of the Aristocracy,’ full of legen.
dary interest. The beautiful domain of Powers
court took its name from the )e Poers, and \rrs for
centuries in the possesion of the family. Lady
Blessington, through her lather, Edmund Power,
claimed descent from the same old Norman family, i
The fact is not mentioned in Madden’s memoir of
the Countess, but is stated, in a notice of her death
published in the London Illustrated News lor June
‘.*th, 1341). The family of the le Poers, like that
of the Geraldines and other Aglo-Norman settlers
in Ireland, passed from Italy into the north of
Franc*, and from France through England and
Wales into Ireland, where, from their isolated po
sition and other causes, they retained for a long
period their hereditary traits with far less modifi
cation from intermarriage and consociation with
other races than did English compeers. Mean
time the name underwent various changes in accent
and orthography. A few branches of the family
still bore in Ireland the old Italian name of De la
Poe.
John Poe, the great grandfather of Edgar Poe,
married a daughter of Admiral Mcßride, distin
guished for bis naval achievements and connected
w ith some of the mo.-t illustrious families of En
gland. From genealogical records transmitted by
him to his son, David Poe, the grandfather of the
poet, who was but two years of age when his pa
tents left Ireland, it appears that different modes
of spelling the name were adopted by different
memb r- of the same family. David Poe was ac
customed to speak of the Chevalier le Poer, a
friend of the Marquis de Grammont, as having
been ol’ hi* father’s family. The grandfather of
Edgar Poe was an officer in the Maryland line du
iing the war of the revolution, and, as Dr. Gris
wold has told us, the intimate friend of LaFayette.
He married a lady of Pennsylvania, by the name
Cairues, w ho is still remembered as having been a
woman of singular beauty. The lather ol Edgar
Poe, while a law student in the offiee of William
Gwynn, Esq., of Baltimore, married at the age of
eighteen, Elizabeth Arnold, a young English actress
who was herself but a child. He first saw her at
Norfolk, where he was sent on professional busi
ness, and in a few months they were married. In
dignant at so imprudent a union, his parents re
fused their countenance to the marriage, and it
was only after the birth of a child that he was for
given and received back into the paternal mansion.
During the period ot his estrangement from bis
family be had joined his wife in a theatrical en
gagement. Edgar Poe was tbe oßVpriiig of this
romantic and improvident union.

sical criticisms. Its notice of the advent of Leo
pold DeMeyer, the pianist “Thunderer,” under the
■iom dr plume of “Smash,” was a very striking
piece of “strong writing.” He gave a concert in
Bunkum, where his “Grand Piano’’ was secured to
the floor by transverse timbers and a sideloug
piece of iron.
“Herr Smash soon entered with a bust of unan
imous applause. His appearance was excentrik.—
A bushy head like a bushel, and a smear of mous
taches onto his upper lip, otherwise a frock coat
and sundries. He also cartied a caiubrick hand
kerchief pei fumed with musk. We smelt it. lie
took Ids position, planting himself firm, while two
upholsterers tacked his coat tails with little brass
studs, also secured his body with ropes. His au
dience were by this time at the highest point of
the key-reeee, and time they was. He took off his
gloves, hurled his eyes all around the theatre,
looking grim, held his wrists about three feet
above the key-hoard, letting the ends of his fingers
hang down, his hair stood tight up, and we knew
that eminent jeopardy was a-coming. So he held
them lor three minutes, while all the whole audi
ence was nigh out of breath, and they were
so, down he canto with his ten finger-nails ! After
this, he looked round with a smile, and the eu
ihnsiasm of the audience, unable to hold out any
longer, broke through all bounds. Before tills
w as over lie lifted up his fingers and down he came
again insomuch that the brass plate of the piano
was wrenched off, and one leg thrown pretty
much across the room. Unmindful of this be now
began galloping with bis fingers from end to end
of the instrument, turning head over heels between
a quaver and a semi quaver, and all right again
and on, before anybody would know that there
was any time lost. He first played Yankee Doo
dle out of compliment, and so tucking it in, that
when the poor Yankee did peep out with its face
we hardly knowed it. Says we to ourself, “Can
this be Yankee Doodle come to town, Yankee
Doodle dandy ?” After this, however, unloosing
his musical bark from the wharf of patriotism, lie
began to play the Battle of l’rague, the Battle of
the Nile, Battle of the Pyramids, Battle of Wa
gram, Battle of Ansterlitz and Battle of Bunker
Hill, all concentrated into one grand junction can
nonade, which after the third volley ripped off
his coat tails, tore tip the brass nails, and threw
the lid of the piano clear across the room, while
the sensation of the audience was unmitigated in
the extreme. Ladies waved their handkerchiefs,
and children at the breast bawled aloud, while
some friends of our 9 were so foolish as to bohoo
oct of mere enthusiasm. Just as you think il all

down on the floor in one mass of heterogenerous
chaos, and Herr Smash, his hair on eend ; his
coat tails slipped oil'; his eyes flashing fire; his
moustaches looking thunder ; his fists clenched ;
his mouth foaming, ran right off the stage.”
A KeiuiiilMcence.
During tlw? Administration of President Jacksoui
there was a Singular young gentleman employed
in the public service at Washington. His name
was G., he was from Tennessee, the son of a widow,
a neighbor of the President, on which account, the
old hero had a hind feeling for him, and always got
him out of his difficulties with some pf the higher
officials, to whom his swtguiar kiverfereivce were
distasteful.
Among other things, it is said of hint, that while
he was employed in the General Post Office, .oiuone
occasion he had to copy a letter of Major H., a
high officer, in answer to an application made by
an old gentleman in Virginia of Pennsylvania, for
the establishment of a Post office. Tlve writer of
the letter often used classical language ; in this let
ter lie said the application could not be granted, in
■consequence of the applicant's “ proximity” to
smother office. When the letter came into G’a
haaids to copy, being a great stickler for plainness,
be fdtered “ proximity” to “ nearness to.” Major
11. Observed it and asked G. why he altered his let
ter* Why, replied G., because I don’t think the
man w ould understand what you mean by proximity.
Well, said Maj or H., try him ; put in the “ proxi
mity” again.
In a lew days, a letter was received from the
applicant, in wtiidh he very indignantly said :
“ That his father fought for liberty in the first, and
he himself, in tbe-second .war of independence, and
lie would like to have the name of the scoundiel
who brought the charge .proximity or any thing
else wrong against hitn ?” “ Sphere,” said G., did
I not say so ?” G. carried his improvements so far
that at last Mr. Barry, the PostinasteriGeneral, said
to him—“ I do not want you here any longer ; you
know too much.” Poor G. went out, but Lis old
friend, the General, again got him into another
place. This time, G.’s ideas underwent a change,
lie was one day very busy writing, when a stranger
calling in asked him where the Patent Office was?
1 don’t know, said G. Can you tell me where the
Treasury Department is said the stranger? No,
said G. Nor the President’s House? No. The
stranger finally ask him if he knew where the Capi
tol was! No, replied G. Doyou live in Washing
ton, sir, said the stranger ? Yes, said G. Good
Lord! and don’t know where the Patent Olfice,
! Treasury, President ’* House and Capitol are ?

for knowing too much. I don’t mean to offend in
that way again. lam paid for keeping t r iis book.
I believe I do know that much : but if you find me

Are Women Naturally Polite#
BY MRS. GKORGE WASHINGTON WYLtYS.
1 his is ft question that has been asked very fre
quently of late. W e must Lave been doing soidk
thing very naughty, recently, to arouse the public
to such a state of vindictiveness. Have we trod
on anybody s masculine toes with our Balmoral
boots ? Has our crinoline been obtrusively ex
pansive ? or have we neglected to say “Thank
you, sir,” when some wretched individual in the
cars wrenched himself out of bis comer for our
benefit, with a face that was worse than the in
flammatory rheumatism ! As if a lady wouldn't
rather stand up troin Yorkville to the City Hali,
than sit opposite to sucii a sulky countenance 1
Something it must have been to bring down
such a torrent of obloquy on our fated heads.
People ask questions about ns as if we were soma
curious specimens®!’ zoology or newly discovered
tribe of'savages. Are they just beginning to find
out that we are not perfect V
Xow we don't like to turn State’s evidence, at
all. We shouldn't dare to trust ourselves within
hailing distance of a bonnet or a parasol for si*:
months, if we expressed our real sentiments oit
the matter! Bless the dear ladies, we know ’em
Uvttvr th~n to ioeur their vengeance, when a littla
hypocrisy will keep us on the safe side.
But nobody has said that we mnsn’t ask ques
tions, and so we can take the Yankee method of
managing matters. Are women naturally polite,
did you *ak, dear, good-natured Public ?
Did you ever know u woman to make room in
an omnibus, live on a side, when Number Six was
entering, flounced and velveted, until ordered by
the driver *
Did you ever know a pair of little gaiter boots
to turn one inch either to the right or the left,
when they could have saved you from a streaming
gutter by the operation ?—Patent leathers don’t
behave so—not they !
Did you ever know a woman to say, “I am sorry
to have given so much trouble,'” when the dry
goods clerk had turned the store topsj turvey,
without finding the right shade of a color that
never existed ?
Did you ever know a woman who didn’t think
it was “outrageous” for another woman to travel
with a baby, or who didn’t regard it as “cruel and
barbarous” if any one objected to the crying of her
baby ?
Did you ever know tw o women to talk over a
third w ithouUridiculing her, even if she was their
“dear particular friend V”
Did you ever praise one young lady in the pres
ence of another, without being confidentially told
of some enormous fault or deformity in the former
which you hadn’t dreamed of?
Did you ever ted your wife what a beautiful
new dress her neighbor had got, without learning
that, “it was only that dowdy old silk dyed over ?”
Did you ever know a pretty woman to make an
impression without a half a doy.en other pretty wo
men ruining the effect of it the instant she left
the room ?
Did you ever know a woman to apologize for
having knocked another woman’s bonnet into “pi”
(that’s a piiuterism, but expressive, notwithstand
ing,) with the corner of her parasol ?
Did you ever hear of a woman who had any
idea that she was making trouble by her little airs
and graces ?
We don’t believe you ever did, reader ? There
are a rftfte of'gmacccuntables, these women, just as
sweet gnd piquant as June roses sometimes, and
ithfin, again, bristling like so many small venemous
tliorn bushes.
There’s one thing we’ve wenef ceased to be in
wardly thankful for—that we’re not a man, and
consequently obliged to mary one of’em ! Why,
she would drive us crazy in a week, with her
whims and her fancies, her exactions and her pet
tish ways. We should make the most lamentably
husband in the world, unless, indeed,
we had the nfifye to run away from her, or shut
her up in the closet far a week, ,un(il she promised
to behave better. When a wd£jan chooses, she
can be the nearest thing to an angel of anything
in this world, and what a pity it is she doesn't al
ways choose ?
In truth and in fact, (we’ve said so much, now,
that we are perfectly reckless of consequences,)
the American ladies are spoiled. They know that
they are queens, and they domineer it accordingly
over the wretched men. If we belonged to the
lather s. r.pngcd and suffering class of humanity, we
should Ifad some way of making the little huzzies
know their places. Catch u* making a fool of our
self tor their beneht, jf they couldn’t be polite
enough to tbauk us lor it They need training,
do tl)e ladies!
Xow we know’ they’ll be down on us far what
we have said. We know the impending conse
quences very well. People who tell the truth al
ways get into trouble. Only please not to be too
Lard on us, ladies, lest driven to desperation, we
should “go and do it again !”—Life Illustrated.
The “Crisis.” in (he United States.
The boastful Republic so much vaunted by
vainglorious Yankees, seems on the brink of a
precipice, from which retreat will be disgrace, and
advance destruction. The very wisest of the
American statesmen —Bonner, the Smith brothers,
Aaron Burr and others are wrangling in the
House of Parliament in the Columbia District, over
a little volume called the “Impending Crisis,” writ’
ten by an .Octoroon named lleifer, in which tha
author proves that, unless the States South of the
State pf .Orleans agree to abolish negro sla
very, the “North will supply them with no more
shoe-pegs, and ut(<;r financial ruin will be the conr
sequence. The members of Parliament who quar
rel over this singular book, betray all the American,
characteristics in their savage abuse of each other,
and sometimes they even come to blows. The
Hon. Charles Sumner, one of their number, was
recently fired upon by a man named Hooks ; and
just before the Asia sailed, it was reported that a
member named A skins was detected in the act of
throwing away a heavy rifle, which he had previ
ously managed to carry in a pocket made express
ly for it.
Though we have no particular faith in the sta
bility of what the Americans call their “Republi
can institutions,” we are sorry to see our cousins
working their own min with the edge-sword of
political incompatibility. As free born English
men, we are bound to sympathize with the so
called “abolitionists” of the Northern States of
Georgia, Nashville, Harper’s Ferry, Virginia, etc.,
in their efforts tp free .the negroes fr.cfli bondage.

therefore, the Governor of Harper’s Ferry hung
him. Horace Greely, the famous journalist, is n
negro ; their great sensation preacher, Henry
Ward Beecher, is said to he a squadroon. Yet.
despite such evidences of the African s natural
equality with the whites in intellect as well as in.
everything else, the Southern members of Parlia
ment, led on by a Mr. Sippi, are threatening to
dissolve the American Union if they are not allow
ed to hold their slaves in New York.

things in America. Civil war must eventually
break out among such discordant elements, _nd
then the Union will cease tO forever! [Eng--

Messrs. Editors : —I notice, with much pleasure,
that the subject of an encampment of all the Mili
tary Companies of the State of Georgia, is being
discussed by the press. AmoDg other places
Clarkesville has been suggested as a suitable
place. BeiDg surrounded as Clarksville is by
beautiful mountain scenery, and near the Tallulah
and Toccoah Falls, I think it has claims over any
other point in the £tate.
Asa call has been made for suggestions as to
the ptoper plan of getting up the encampment, I
would offer the following : Let each company in
the State send one delegate to Atlanta, on the
20th of April, and let those delegates in conven
tion select the place and make ail the preliminary
arrangements for the encampment some time in
June. DALTON,

that county, an “unmitigated hoax,” and says fur
ther, iu speaking of “Lankford,” on whose ptanta
tton the cave containing them is said to be :
Kirk Lankford is a “Brother” of the dnnlang
pe.suasion, and about the only cave he has ever
explored, has been some well that needed cleaning
° l We have learned, that Prof. Tucker, of Mercer
University, is quite outraged, as he well may be,
at the audacious use of his initials, by the person
who contributed this wonderful information to thf
