The tele-grama yesterday announce-1 that the railroad companiea had brought i<att in the Unite*! States Circuit Court again**, the strikers for obstructing the peration of the roads, laying damage* at a million and a half. Also that an attempt to send out freight trains Friday morning had been prevented by force, and the companies would try again on Saturday. The United States District Court is now in session in Knoxville. The Daily Press and Herald of Friday morning chronicles the complete failure of Congressman Thornburgh and all the other pacificators to fe ttle the troubles. It also reports, on apparently reliable authority, the receipt by the strikers of & large amount of money from the Central Organisation of wuat is known as “the Brotherhood of Engineers,** for the pur pose of enabling the striking members in Knoxville “to maintain a firm attitude in the present straggle against a reduction of wagoa.** The action of the Chattanooga Con vention is reported by the Press and Herald, as follows: At the convention held in Chattanooga, on Tuesday last, the following roads were represented: Western ana Atlantic; Louisville and Nashville, and Great Southern; South and North Alabama; Central Railroad of Georgia; Mobile and Montgomery ; New Orleans, Mobile and Texas; Memphis and Charleston; Geor gia ; Nashville, Chattanooga and St. I Louis; Atlanta and West Point; St. Lonisand Southeastern; Piedmont Air Line; Western Railroad of Alabama; Port Royal; Mobile and Ohio; Alabama and Chattanooga; Selma, Rome and Dal ton. Major R. C. Jackson, of the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad, arrived too late to participate in tho ac tion of the convention. Tho following resolutions were unani- ouriy passed: Whereas in the present financial crash the business usually done by railroads is so greatly diminished as to make it neces- *ary that we reduce expenses, therefore, Resolved, That we will make such rea sonable reduction of expenses as is made in every other branch of business, and that each company make such reductions os its own necessities require and suen as can he made in justice to all employed. While wo regret the necessity which com pels us to rodooe tho wages of officers and employes, we find this compensation to those affected by oar action, That provi- « mw and almost all the necessities of life are being reduced in full proportion to the reduction we propose to make, so that tho wages of such officers and employes. At tho reduced rate, will purchase as much of the necessities of life as could have been obtained before the crisis for the wages then received by them. Resolved, That while we recognize the right of any employee ot a railroad com pany to refuse to work for the wages offered, or to leave the service of the com pany if he is not satisfied with its rules or the discipline enforced, we condemn in the strongest terms as unjustifiable and indefensible, all combinations for the purpose of resisting the rightful author ity and discipline of any company by in terfering with or attempting to intimi date or injure others willing to work for tho wages offered, or to submit to the dis cipline and rules of the company. And we pledgo ourselves to each other that we will in no case employ anyone who has been discharged on account of insubordi nation to authority, or combination to atop the operations of any road, by in timidation or interference with others willing to work, and to submit to rules and discipline. And we will by printed circular promptly inform each other of all snch insubordinate combinations with tho names of those engnged. Resolved further. That we invite all railroad companies in the United States to co-operate with us in carrying out these resolutions, and in suppressing insubor dinate combinations who attempt to ac complish their ends by violence and other unlawful means. E. W. Cole, President. John B. Peck, Secretary. The resolutions were transmitted to this paper by telegraph and printed some days ago, bnt mangled either in the transmission or in the printing. The same paper reports a very mins- tory condition of affairs about the coal mines, as follows: Disorders Among Miners.—Wo learn that there are boisterous disturbances and strikes among some of the miners at Cool Creek and Careyville. The men have been restive for some time past, and their interference with the manage ment in regard to tho employment of men obnoxious to them, had tho effect of suspending operations entirely at the Black Diamond and the MsEwsa min**s at Coal Creek. On Tuesday night, both at Cool Creek and at Careyviile, there were disturbances caused by the pres ence of a negro on the train on the K. and O. rood, whom the miners seemed to think was in some way to be set to work in the mines, and they vented their dis satisfaction in uproarious threats, but committed no physical violence. A much more important incident, how ever, occurred on the lino of the K. and O. road the same night, between Carey viile and Coal creek. The t nun, under charge of Mr. Kinxell, acting as engineer, was running along at its usual speed when tho alert vision of Mr. Kinzoll espied an obstruction oh the track, and the train was fortunately stopped in time to prevent disaster. Examination showed the obstruction to be timbers and rail road ties placed across tho track, evi dently with tho purpose to wreck the train.* Nothing is known of the author or authors of this malignant and fiendish act. Knoxville, according to the Press and Herald, was fu*t getting out of many of the necessaries of life. The supply of leather, candles and lager beer was very inadequate. In effect, the strikers had the town unter blockade. trxnan saved, and the doors, lights *nJ L»Ln is belonging to the house were likewise saved. We learn that Messrs. P. Happ X Son hare an insurance on the building for $2,000. The •axne paper learns that six con victs—tire negroes and one white man— broke juil in Hancock county last Friday night. They were all to be carried to Grant A Alexander the next da. The State Fair.—Th** general voice pronounces the fair which has just close-1 ;n daoon the finest exhibition ever held in the State Tae display of articles in every department was large and com plete, the buildings handsome and com modioos, the grounds beautiful, the crowd large. Macon has shown that she is the only city in the State equal to such an occasion, and it is but fair that should receive the reward which her en ergy, her enterprise and her liberality so richly deserve. We hope that the State Fair will be permanently located in Macon. Nearly two thousand acres of land were sold at the Hall county monthly nales last Tuesday at an average of $2.96 ]**r acre The Rome Commercial learns that a large quantity of cotton is being daily shipped to Savannah over the Rome rail road. We dip as follows from the Chronide and Sentinel, o! Friday. Death or a Monarch op the Air.—A colored man living about twelve miles from this city, shot and killed a large eagle last Tuesday. The royal bird ■ sitting on the top of a dead pine tree when fir.it discovered by the negro. It measured seven foet from rip to rip of ita wings, and was one of the largest that baa ever been seen in this section. The Sweet Potato Crop.—The sweet potato ci op of this section has turned out remarkably well, and we understand that the vield has been very large. The prin cipal variety produced this season seems to be the '‘pumpkins,’* or yellow yarn. Some of them are of enormous sire. They are selling at seventy-five cents per bushel, at present, and will real ise large profits to the producer. One gentleman, about three miles from the city, made fifty-nine bushels of splendid potatoes on a little over a quarter of an acre of ground. The production of this valuable vegetable is increasing largely in this vicinity. At tho mooting of the Georgia Rail road directors on Friday, Mr. James W. Davies, of Augusta, was elected Presi dent, pro tern,, of the company, in conse quence ot Judge King's feeble health and physical inability to discharge the duties of his offioe. The Star says trade in Griffin the past week was very good. Large cash sales have been made and a great many col lections, also. Oar merchants are bopd- ful, and the general aspect is cheerfuL Cotton is selling at 12} cents; receipts light this week, and few Kiles. There is more cotton stored here than we have ever known before at this season of the year. About one quarter of all that has been brought in is still in the ware houses. The Albany News reports the death of Mr. Daniel S. Lee, at his home in Terrell county—a gentleman long and favorably known in that section. Also of Mr. J. K. Clued, in Dougherty county, a nativo of Maine but resident in that county since the war. He was much respected by his neighbors. Th* Synod op Georgia. - The Newnan Herald says “this body of Christian min isters and elders met in the Presbyterian Church, in this city, Wednesday evening, and adjourned Saturday erening to meet m Savannah next year. The usual church business was transacted. On Sabbath morning the pulpits of the various churches were filled by delegates; that of the Presbyterian Church by Dr. Howe; of tho Baptist Church by Rev. Mr. Qnigg; of the Methodist Church by the Rev. Mr. Axon. Our citizens were pleased at the coming and stay of our visitors, and our guests expressed themselves delighted with the hospitality of the citizens of Newnan.’* The Columbus San says the North and South railroad has paid the interest on first bonds and is happy. Also, that or ders from Northern spinners for eight hundred bales of cotton were withdrawn from that market on Wednesday. Wi quote the following-from the Sun: Being Generally Signed. A peti tion to Governor Smith to commute the sentence of Mr. Milton Malone is being generally signed. Hundreds had append ed their names to last afternoon. A Grocer's Experience.—A gro^eiy man with a capital of $25,000 has run his machine for tho past eight years with the following result: Hopelessly lost in bod debts $10,000; now on his books $25,000, of which ho calculates to lose fully one-half; in store $12,000; half capital stock in store, the other on books; profits he can’t see. This a sad showing for eight years of hard work, but we fear it represents the condition of many mer chants of this section. Death op an Old Settler.—Mr. Lewis C. All-m, aged SO, while going up the oel- Lir stairs of his residence at Stratford, Conn., on Tuesday evening, October 28, with a hod of coal, was suddenly taken, as is supposed, with a paralytic stroke, and fell to the bottom of the flight. He struck heavily on his forehead, but no ex ternal wound wa3 manifested. He lin gered through the following day and died Wednesday night at 11 o’clock. Mr. Allen was among tho first settlers of Co- Iambus, came here from Clinton, Jones county in 1S29 or 1830, with Mr. Jones Kivlin and others, and was a prominent merchant here for many years. He was in tho City Council for several terms, ami his name figure** prominently in the early history of this city,and is well and favor ably remembered by old citizens. He removed back to the North in 1845 or 1S46, but has frequently been here on visits since; his last visit being about two years ago. Mb. Angus Morrison, a well known and much liked citizen of Brooks county, was found dead in Little River Saturday of last week. He was on his way home from Valdosta under the influence ot whisky, and it is supposed fell off his horse over a high bluff into the river. The United States Circuit Court met at Savannah on Thursday, and adjourned until the 17th inst. Savannah Cotton Shipments.—The Advertiser says the •‘probabilities are that the amount of tonage entering our harbor this season will be largely in ex cess of that of previous years. At pres ent there are loading three British and one Spanish steamship of about fourteen thousand bales capacity. For Havre there are loading three ships and two barks, of 4,240 teas capacity. Allowing an average of 480 pound-? weight to the bale, as per car^-o of bark La Piatta, ' will take out over «ev. ! from the grand dress parade uf monstros: j ties at the late Fair we cannot under tand. One hundred and sixty recruits belong- I ing to Grant A Alexander’s brigade passed through Atlanta Friday night on their way to work on the Augusta canal enlarge ment. The taxable property of Whitfield county is set down by the Dalton Citi zen at $2,235,483. The Citizexi says Whitfield county was never iu a more healthy condition than at present. “Her corn, potato and hay crops are more abundant than she has ever before produced; and we learn the county is alive, from one end to the other, with tot grunters. The cotton crop has :;r IiY TELEGRAPH.

Duff «> * :• .y <•: D.t’.tou, was buried in that place last Sunday. She died in Mississippi. Thomas ville Fair.. Telegraph acd M esseacer.] Thomasville, November 6, 1873. The rain continues and the wind i creases, but still the people come, and new entries have been made all day. The crowd is somewhat greater than that of yesterday, but not large enough yet to be a paying institution. Several new arti cles have come in, among which is the sugar mill from Ballyertine i Co.’s foun dry, of Savannah, and ad o a machine for the distribution of the caterpillar des troyer. It is built like wheelbarrow, with two upwright posts, a beam with pulley in the center, and a tin cylinder on each end of about four inches in diameter, perforated. Into these cylinders the “pixen” is placed, and they are adjusta ble to suit the height of the cotton, and tho locomotion of the wheel revolves the cylinders, and thus “the destroyer” reaches the plant. The chicken display, like that of the State .Fair, is the best that has ever been made here. In fact quite a number of the coop* from Macon have arrived and are on exhibition, All the articles from Thomas county which took premiums at the recent State Fair are here, and of course take pre miums. The following awards were made to-day: Corn—Be3t acre. Colonel R. H. Harda way. Best five acres, Mr. McMath. Sweet Potatoes—C. S. Neil, Field Peas—C. S. NeiL Finders—Forty bushels to the acre, T. P. Jones. ■ Cotton—Best acre. Col. A. T. McIntyre. Best five acres, J. T. Harvin. Sugar Cane—Joshua CarroL Bice—Beat acre. Mack Saddler, a col ored man, the yield being over fifty-four bushels to the acre. There is a warm contest in the preserve and canned fruit department. This dis play is the finest ever made in Southern Georgia, and if Thomas ville had entered the ring at the State Fair for the $1,000 premium, she would have measured up in this deportment with the best. The decision of the committee is looked for with great anxiety. They have just commenced their labors this afternoon. The rain has completely defeated the Great Eastern. They struck their tents and hurried off to the train tills after- Their loss mast have been heavy. Some of the gambling attaches were ar rested and brought up before the Mayor on last night. They were arrested on a warrant sued out by a youngster who had lost some Small change by fighting their games. The warrants were all dismissed, as there could be no proof adduced that the games were those of chance. How ever, one of the parties was so frightened at the arrest of his comrades that he re treated in hot haste over the cattle stalls, and was heard from this morning in Macon. From the difficulties surrounding the Fair it will be impossible for it to pay uut ai.;» Unm. hut it has hitherto been profitable to the stockholders, ana mis is Jie first failure to realize a profit, it is to be hoped that they are prepared to stand the misfortune. The deficiency will not be great. Better luck next time to them. Jack Plane. Reduction in Prices. The Herald of Tuesday says there has been a redaction in clothing in the New York market of *rom five to fifteen per cent. In dry goods it reports the follow ing reductions at Stewart’s: September 15. Yesterday. Corset jean3 12jc. lOJc. Amoskeag sat teen.... 15c. 13|e. Cambrics 7jc. 7|c. Boiled cambrics 8c. a SJc. 8c. In bleached muslins the reduction was very considerable, from 7| to 10 per cent., in white sheetings 10 per cent., brown muslins 71 per cent., damask 10 per cent., and in all foreign goods an average re duction of 10 per cent. DRESS GOODS. In dress goods tho reduction has also been very great; in fancy goods it amounted to 20 per cent., and in plain poods to about 10 per cent. The trade n dress goods is very qniet, and buyer* have a fair retail trade. SHAWLS. In shawls of all kinds, from the most expensive down to the very cheapest, and in cloaks and costumes, t ie reduc tion has been 10 per cent. In groceries, sugar has fallen from one to two cents a pound, teas from five to ten cents, rice on * cent, sardines $1 per dozen, extracts of meats 25 per cent. The only articles that are exempt from the stampede are coffee, champagne and flour. Tlie Immense Possessions of the Sprag-ue Family. The possessions of the Sprague brothers, William and Amasa, in real estate alone, give some idea of how immense must have been their wealth before the recent crash. Tho Herald enumerates some of them as follows : In Maine thev owned 400,000 acres of the best timber land. In Kansas and in T^xas they claimed vast tracts of land also, and m South Carolina an extensive purchase was made for a mill site a few ;reara ago. At Cranston, which is a vil lage that, in the course of time, will be part and parcel of this prosperous town of Providence, they owned 1,784 acres, which, of itself, was a fortune not to be despised; in the adjacent village of Johnston 839 acres, and in Warwich 728 acres. This land not many years hence will be sold at so much per foot, and its value is, therefore, simply incalculable. In the town of Providence their property was scattered in all directions. They had six iron manufactories, they controlled five banks, they owned the immense Bal tic Mill, with 76,000 spindles; the Nat ick Mills, with 42,000 spindles; the Au gusta Maine Mills, with 40,000 spindles; the Quidnick Mills, the Arctic Mills, the United States Flag Manufacturing Com pany, with 33,000 spindles. 1,180 Me* Discharged. New Yoke, November s.—Two hundred and thirty men were discharged this week from the lumber yards on Green Point. One hundred laborers were discharged at Long Island City. One hundred cabinet makers were discharged in the same city. Four hundred and fifty were discharged from the Brooklyn City Work-, and three hundred more from the Pro?pect Park improvements. The Rubber Comb facto ry at College Point, Long Island, have reduced their time to four days per week, employing 600 men. Reform Management in 5rr York, Estimates for city and county expenses for 1874, are eight and a half million ahead of those of last year. Cincinnati Banks all Right. Cincinnati, November 8.—The Clear ing-house Committee of the banks of this city, to whom was entrusted the issuing of Clearing-house certificates, have asked to be discharged, as the certificates have all been returned and by the committee cancelled and destroyed, and the securi ties received have been returned to par ties. This closes up the arrangement by which the banks have made common cause to check the panic in every way. The management of the affair has been a success. Not a bank here having failed, and only the sum of $450,000 of Clearmg- ' house certificates having been necessary to tide over the period of panic. * Fire in St. Louis.

Custis was brought up at Mount Vernon and remained a member of Washington’s family until the death of Mrs. Washington, when he went to reside on the Arlington estate, near this city, which he had inherited from his lather, and where he had erected the mansion known os the Arlington iiuooc. He was married in early life to Miss Mary Lee Fitzhugh, of Virginia, and left an only daughter, who became the wife of General Robert E. Lee. The late Mrs. Lee was a lady of exem plary conduct and unassuming and gen tle character. She was between sixty and seventy years of ago at the time of her death. The Funeral of Mrs. Lee. Richmond, November 8.—Tho obse- a uies of Mrs. Mary Custis Lee, wife of 10 late General Robert E. Lee, who died in Lexington on Thursday morning, took jlace yesterday in the Memorial Chapel n that town. Her three sons, W. H. F. Lee, Custis Lee and Robert E. Lee. Jr., and her daughter were present, besides a large concourse of friends. Her remains were deposited beside her husband’s in the Memorial room. Mrs. Lee was 67 years of age. Business was entirely suspended in Lexington yesterday, many places being draped in mourning, and the obsequies were very imposing. Foneral of Gen. Hardee. Selma, Ala., November a—The re mains of Gen. W. J. Hardee reached the city this morning, and were met at the depot by a vtst concourse of citizens. Stores were closed and business was sus pended, and the whole people united in 10noring the illustrious deiul. The re mains were escorted by a long procession to his late residence. At three o’clock this afternoon the fu neral services took place and another im mense procession escorted the body to the church, which was packed and with hundreds in the streets, who could not get in The services at the church hav- ng ended, the procession reformed and marched to the cemetery where the body was consigned to the tomb. AU classes and conditions united to honor General Hardee, and tho funeral, with the excep tion of General Lee’s, was the largest that ever took place in Selma. Thou sands were at the cemetery, for the peo ple loved Hardee. Selma to day has him n memory. nrther Abont General Hardee’s Fu neral. There was a spontaneous outpouring of our whole people to-day to receive the remains of General Hardee. The mili tary, fire department, municipal authori ties, bar, clergy and people all did honor to the memory of th© illustrious dead. The bell3 were tolled during the day, and business suspended. The funeral procession was the largest ever wit- - ,sed in this State. It was not formality, but there was genuine grief in the demonstration. The General’s old black war horse Shiloh, with empty saddle, and his old Confeder ate grey coat upon it, brought tears to the eyes of many a man who had seen the loved form of the gallant dead on the fields of carnage end __ amid the smoke of battle. He was buried this evening at four o’clock. The burial ceremonies of the Episcopal church, were performed by the Rev. Dr. Clements. The Great Railroad Strike Ended. Total impc.t* for the w.ekwer** $5,022,- j Tammany, like a giant refreshed with new wine, rises again with something q£ her ancient strength, and the fifty-five thousand majority of the Republicans on their State ticket last fall, i: not com pletely obliterated, is almost reduced to nothing. Corresponding results are re ported from Massachusetts, Virginix, Wisconsin and other States. The Demo cratic victory of October in Oiiio, it may be contended, was accidental; but when . we find the Eist, the West, the North and the South all drifting in the same general direction it is evident, at least, that the sprinkling clouds of Octbber have gathered and strengthened to the propor tions of a political cyclone in November. In the history of the country, since tho time of Washington, there never was a more overwhelming Presidential success than that of 1872; and in our political annals we have never had in a single year such a- general shrinkage for the domi nant party from heavy majorities to small ones, and to minorities, as in 1873. The popular whirlwind of 1840, which carried General Harrison into the White House, was followed by a marked political reac tion in 18-41, and there have been some other cases of this kind from time to time but we have ha-1 no reaction of this char acter to compare with this of 1873, touch ing the disturbing forces at work, includ ing the demoralizations, divisions, disaf fection.-?, discontent and indifference of the party iu power to the consequencsc. hie .November elections.

Bayonne, November 8.—Intelligence has just been received here of a great victory won by tho Carlists over the Spanish government troops, after a des perate fight near the town of Moranda del Arga, in the province of Navarre. Tho loss of the Republicans was' very great, including among the killed Lt. Generti Primo de Ravena. Gen. Moronex wounded and taken prisoner by the Royalists with forty-ouc uti.cr officer* of the government army. The Carlists also lost heavily. Among the wounded on their side was General Olio and other chiefs. MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES. An Overdue Steamer. Nkw Yobk, November 8.—Tho bank rapt case of Kenyon, Cox & Co., has been amicably settled. Drew was a member of the firm. The steamer City of Richmond, which a London dispatch announces as over due, is one of the largest vessels entering this port, and is one of the latest addit ions to the Inman fleet. She is remark able alike for her great size and the completeness of her external fittings. The agents of the Inman line in this city say no anriety need be felt cohcoming the safety of the vessel as the delay in her arrival is probably due to some ac cident to her machinery. The Stock Market. Stocks just before the close rallied to the best figures of the day; hut at the final leaving off yielded a fraction, though the market keeps strong. Erie is the weak spot, and being down three per cent., brings it to 37$. Private advices from London late in the day were less favorable. Money was reported very ac tive on the open market at nine per cent., and some firms had dispatches from their London correspondents that the bank rate would he advanced to ten per cent, next week and tho bank act suspended. Bricklayers’ Strike. The strike of the bricklayers and la borers continues, but without much sne- ceas. There is a sufficient number of non-society men, who work at reduced rates, to meet tho demands of builders. Thiee hundred and fifty laborers were discharged to-day from the public works owing to the appropriations being ex hausted. Others are to be discharged next week. Cuban Indignation. General Quesado and several other Prominent Cubans in this city will take ramediate steps to hold a meeting in this city to express indignation at the recent execution of their friends in Ha vana. It is also said that General Aguileros will soon have in readiness six hundred men to lead into action in Cuba. French Politics. Paris, November 8.—The bureaus of the Assembly which deferred the naming of three members of the Committee on Prolongation of President MacMahon’s powers until to-day, reassembled this morning and elected Count de Remusat, M. Leon Say and M. Laboula candidates of the Left. This gives the Republican: a majority of one on the committee. The result ha3 given rise to the most intense excitement. It is said that the Right which, on the opening of the Assembly on Wednesday last, sub mitted a motion prolonging Marshal Mac Mahon’s powers for ten years, has offered compromise to make the term five years. Leon Say, at the request of the government, has consented to a postpone ment of the debate on his interpolation, for the failure to order elections to fill the vacancies in the Assembly. How the Emperor of Russia has to Work for a Living. When the yellow flag with the double headed eagle of Russia in the centre flies from the flagstaff of the Kremlin palace it announces to Moscow that Alexander, the emancipator, is in the ancient capital ol his vast dominions. Constitutional sovereigns lie on a bed of roses comp;ured to the autocrat of Russia. From him everything hinges in the country that contains eight millions of square miles ; with him moves the entire machinery of state, and always on tho move his majesty is obliged to be. Trained in tlie severe school rf the Emperor Nicholas, Alexan der never allowed himself a moment's relaxation. It is known what a passion ate soldier the Emperor of Germany is, how he will even attend the drills of a single company. The Emperor of Rus sia, though, goes from review to review, from field-days of five thousand men to field-days of special arms, from the tar get practice of a few non-commissioned officers to a manoeuvre of the fleet. Now in Poland, now in Tsarsko Selo, now at Crons tad t, now in the Caucasus, and all at once in the Crimea. Always soldiers, soldiers, soldiers ! Ho himself is never out of uniform, and none of the ministers ever discard their epaulets. Tho imperial suite is, of course, enormous. But to-day his majesty is at Moscow; to-night ho proceeas to the Crimea. In the train the Minister of the Interior will prohibly see him with innumerable papers for signa-t t*ire; the minister of finance, of * justice, or of foreign affairs will disturb the ini perial rest. Such is it to be an emperor and bow many there are who would give a whole lifetime for five minutes in such a position! For five minutes it may be pleasant, but it is questionable whether a longer experience would not bring about a change of feeling.—Amy and Navy Ga xette.

The stand ard has been kept up in every respect and its intrinsic value has again been demonstrated during tho past summer. It is recommended, because: “It is permanent in its effects in return ing to the soil the fertilizing ingredients taken from it by excessive cropping. “It gives to cotton tho food necessary to sustain life while fruiting, therefore, what is called rust seldom occurs whero this fertilizer is used. Tt is the best restorer of worn out lands known to agricultural chemistry. ‘Its effects are immediate in the pro duction of large returns tho first season. It is good for all crops, on any soil, being pure unadulterated plant-food. Tt is as good as the best, and is the least expensive of any known good fertil izer. “It is manufactured at tho South and almost entirely of Southern material. “It utilizes the ammonia found on every farm which is tho most expensive part of all complete fertilizers.” We subjoin a few of tho many certifi cates in our possession, os to its value, from well known parties who have used it, and to whom we would refer.
