As tin' l itter stepped on dock apetty oSicer and half a dozen men who hod tool watch on the Virginius during tho night, went over the side and remaiue ’ in a dingy uwniting orders. Punctually, as the bells on tho Dispatch struck for nine, and heforo the echo had ilied away, the American flag flea to the flagstaff of the Virginius, and at tho same moment a boat containing Captain Whit ing and Lieutenant Mariax put away from th.- Dispatch, As they ascended the accommodation lijitroftho Virginius, a singlo man on deck who proved to bo Senor do La Caina ra sdvanoed and made a courteous salu taticn.

A word or two more civilly spoken and the Spaniard stopped over the side, signaled his oarsmen and in fen minutes was again upon tho deck of his own rossc), having discharged with becoming dignity the unpleasant duty imposed upon him by his government. The ongines of tho Virginius wore found to bo in bad condition, and she had te be towed to oca by tho Dispatch. Doth vessels loft tho harbor at 3 r. m the Spanish flag being displayed by tho fort os they passed. At 8 r. sr. they were ■net by the naval tug Fortuno.

Provisions will bo transferred from tho Oifipeo to tho Virginius, and whatever ceftl may bo neces.i.iry will bo supplied by tho schooner. When supplied with provisions nnd coal, tho Virginius will probably bo aont to a Northern port. Washington and Norfolk are mentioned among tho prize officers, much to tho dis appointment of somo of tho officers. The federal courts aro now anxiously looking out for her nrrivnl. Sho will not niter tho liarbor of Key West at nil— express orders to that effect having been itceived from Washington. The Fortuno proceeded to Key West, wlioro sho arrived nt 4 o’clock this evo- ning with a dispatch to Admiral Scott, giving a full account of the surrender. Tho officers and crows of tho Dispatch and LnFnvorita. member.! of tho prizo crows uud a correspondent of tho Tri bune were the only witnessess of the sur render. Not a singlo person appeared on ! . ..ud u.it :'ii inhabitant of the town of iiahia Honda or tho surrounding country felt sufficient interest in tho pro ceedings to walk or sail to tho scene. Some Americans presented themselves at the iTtranee of tho harbor in a chartered vc. iiel, but not being provided with clear ance papers and passports wore stopped by a boat from tho fort in several at tempts enter the harbor, and finally with drew without witnessing tho surreuder.

Ho would state, however, that he favored neither contraction nor expansion. Tho former would bring the business interests of the country to a stand, would diminish tho revenues and render taxation inevitable. The latter would postpone the day of specie pay ment, and ho did not think it wise to nild to tho return of a currency of tho character wo now possessed. He viewed with apprehension any attempt to secure immediate specie payments. Morton said he recognized the fact that wo must come to specie payments at last; but now it was not practicable. Ho favored a slight inflation. Confirmations. Harry Lott, Register of the Land Office, Now Orleans; Julian Neville, Receiver of Public Moneys, Now Orleans; Thomas E.

On one occasion Walpole met tlio Duke Argyle leaving the royal palace, step ping as high as a blind horse and flop- ■ ling around like a mad porpoise. ‘Why, Duke, yon seem excited,* said Valpole. 'Yes, sir,* said tho Duke, 'X am; the King has insulted me.’ ‘Oh,’ replied Walpole, ‘never mind that; the King has often l-icked me.’ ‘Yes, sir,’ cried the haughty clansman, in a towering rage; ‘but I would have you understand, sir, that there is an infinite difference be tween an Argyle and a Walpole.’ “And >, said our distinguished lawyer, “would be compelled to speak of Williams in comparison with John Marshall and his successors.” A schoolbot’s essay on liberty conclu ded with: “The rights of the people should be preserved in violet.’ Produce.

JORDAN, Ordinary. Fertilizing Compound! This fertilizer is again offered to the public in its original purity. The stand ard has been kept uj* 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 tho fertilizing ingredients taken from it by cxcc3sivo cropping. “It givos to cotton the food necessary to sustain life while fruiting, therefore, what is called rmt seldom occurs wlicro this fertilizer is used. “It i3 tho best restorer of worn out lands known to agricultural chemistry. “Its effects aro immediate in the pro duction of large returns the first season. “It is good for all crops, on any soil, being pure unadulterated plant-food. “It is as good as the best, and is tho least expensive of any known good fertil izer. “It is manufactured at the South .and almost entirely of Southern material. “It utilizes the ammonia found on every farm which is the mo3t expensive part of all complete fertilizers.” We subjoin a few of the many certifi cates in our possession, as to its value, from well known parties who bavo used it, and to whom we would refer. ROGERS & LEMAN, Gen. Agts. LaGkangi:, Troup County, Ga.,> September 14,1873. J Messrs, llogers & Leman, Macon, Ga. : Gents : I have bought of your agent. Captain V. L. Hopson, ono car load of tlio Logan Fertili zer, and used it this spring on my different farms. I am well pleased with it and shall use it another year in preference to any other kind. I also used -the pure Peruvian Guano and other standard fertilizers, and by actual comparison, I am satis fied the Logan is the best, nnd at much less cost. Yours respectfully, IL W. DALL1S. Sr. Coweta County, Ga., Septcml»cr is, 1S73 Messrs, llogers cC* Leman, Macon, Ga.: Gents: The Logan Fertilizer bought of your agent, V. L. Hops on, I manipulated with cotton seed at the rate of one of the fertilizing compound to two of cotton seed. Tills compost was applied to cotton at tho rate of 200 to 300 pounds per Jicre. I used it beside of Reese’s Sol. Pacific, and give yours the preference, and I shall use it exclusive ly in future. My brother applied the Logan to both corn and cotton, and is well pleased with the result. Yours truly, L. C. DAVIS. Dooly County, Ga., August 18,3873. Messrs. Rogers & Leman, Macon, Ga.: Gentlemen : I am fully satisfied with the Lo gan Fertilizer. It beats stable manure alone, and is by actual count of bolls, at least 200 per cent, ahead of ray unmanured cotton. There i.s K-n.s rust where the Logan was used than whore fer tilized by stablo manure. Yours respectfully, B. M. THOMAS. Vienna, Dooly County, Ga., Sept. 1,1S73. Messrs. Rogers & Leman, Macon, Ga.: Gents : I promised to write you about the Lo gan Fertilizer I bought of you. I now can safely nay, that up to this time, it is ahead of any I have ever used. It is as good agr.in us the Soluble Pa cific I used last year. I will use it altogether for the future. Respectfully, JOHN COLLIER. Warren County. September 15,1973. Messrs. Rogers <fc Leman, Macon, Ga.: Gents: I composted the 4000 pounds of Logan Fertilizer bought from you last winter, with 12,000 pounds of cotton seed and stable manure and put the eight tons of comport on forty acres in cotton on gray land. The cotton grew well and seem* to be well fruited. I am well pleased with it. When the crop is gathered I will write you fully. Yours respectfully, JOSHUA NICHOLLS. Union Point, Greene County, Ga^”> September 15,1873. > Messrs. Rogers <C Leman, Macon, Ga.: Gents: Every one of the planters in our sec tion, who lias uned the Logan Fertilizer, are wel pleased with it, and will use it extensively for an other season. Yours respectfully. J. B. HART A SONS. Hogansville, Troup County, Ga.,^ September 12,1873. S Messrs. Rogers <b Leman, Macon, Ga.: Gents : I bought of your agent 2000 pounds of the Logan Fertilizer, composted it as formula directs, and used it with other standanl fertiliz ers. It has proved equally as good as the others, at about one-third of the cost, and I would ad- • vise planters generally to give it a trial. Yours truly, J. M. PONDER. Amkricus, Sumter County, Ga.,') Septembdr 22,1878. } Messrs. Rogers & Leman, Macon, Ga.: Gents : I composted tho Logan Compound I night from you, and put it on cotton on gray land, and used it ou my farm at a cost of $1 per acre. Ialwusedtoo Pendleton Compound and the English Stonewall. The Logan has proved as good as either of the others. I am much pleased with it. The cotton has fruited well and lias retained its fruit. Very little rust is observable where the Logan is used and the weight of lint in proportion to seed cotton is remarkable, being much in excess of what is usual. I found it equal ly good on corn and potatoes. The Logan is an excellent fertilizer, anu I can honestly rfccommeiul its use generally. Yours respectfully, 6 J. L. ADDER-TON. Newton County, Ga., September 23,1873. Rev. Robert Logan: Dear Sib: I composted 400 pounds each o the Logan Compound, cotton seed and stable ma nure, and put the compost on four acres of cotton Though the worm has stripped the cotton bare o leaves, 1 will get three bales of cotton from the four acres. Tne season has not been a favorable one in this section. Yours truly, octi tf J. M. HOLLINGSWORTH.
