ARTIFICIAL MANURES.
The increased use of artificial manures in
the Uuited States, has beerf greater within
the last year, than within any five years
since the formation of our government.
Even at the time of the commencement of
our journal, the quantity of guano impor
ted into the country was comparatively
small—and of other artificial manures the
manufacture was very inconsiderable.
During ihiaspting the demand has been an
great, that at this time. April loth, notone
bag of Peruvian Guano is to be found in
first hands, in any of the principal cities of
the United State's, and even our agricuhu
ral ware-houses are completely sold out of
this material. Sorts of guano which were

common salt has been so completely bought
up for agricultural purposes, as to render
it neaily or quite impossible to buy the re

that of better quality. Wastes nffactories
of all kinds are in high demand. Ga9-house
lime, ammoniacal liquor, woolen waste,
hair, bone dust, waste of glue factories, and
every article capable of being used to fer
tilize the soil, is in active demand—anJ if
all those substances be judiciously used, and
in localities were needed, the country will
be largely the gainei by 9uch increased
use.
I’oudretle companies, of which there are
several about New York, have increased
demand for their manufactures.
A few years since our old style farmers
could scarcely be made to believe that sul
phuric acid would ever be used as
zer. while now the consumption
tide by agriculturists, is already of the
highest importance. Hundreds ofcarboys
per day are used by the manure manufac
turers, and this demand has piincipaly
grown since out introduction of the Im
proved Super-phosphate of Lime.
For a time we may anticipate that many
persons will be disappointed by the improp
er use of the artificial manures; and we
shall hear much complaints by those who
have selected badly, against the use of such
fertilizers, but all who use them properly
will realize increased profits, and we may
anticipate that the power of the soil to pro
duce, will be perm’nently and materially
increased.
Farmers have now discovered that they
are largely the gainers by using their barn
yard stable manures on similar portions of
their farms, and that by treating the rest of
their acres with other fertilizing materials,
when these are judiciously chosen; so as to
replace the missing constituents of their
soils, they will find in after culture, that the
addition of the ordinary manuies will be
doubly effective. They already know that
four additions of twenty-live loads each of
manure in four successive years, will not
produce as great and permanent an im
provement to the soil, as is consequent up
on the addition of seventy five loads at a
single application; and by the use of the ar
tificial manures on part of their acies, they
will be able to supply to the necessary a-
mounl of farm-yard manures in future sea
sons.
The increased use of root crops, has in
part been instrumental in getting up an in
creased demand for guano; Improved Sup
er-phosphate of Lime, &c., while the con
sumption of these crops by cattle, will tend
materially to increase the ability of the far
mer to raise more slock, while these in turn
will augment the amonnt of the barn-yard
manures—and we cannot but believe that
tbs importation of guano and the manufac
ture of bones at home into fertilizing mate-
riales, instead of shipping them abroad, will
increase the amount of our production e-
qual to the value of our California receipts.
The use of many materials, until now was
ted. will tend to add much to our agricul
tural wealth. Farmers now knowing that
they can increase the amouut of their man
ures, are reclaiming their waste lands, and
thousands of acres will be brought into re

But however this may be. certain it is that in the
appointments at the South, all due consideration for
the Union men, so called, has been shown bv the
President, and there has been no exclusive prefer-
| ence of State-tights men; and the allegation that dis-
unionists have been sought for as objects of public

THE MILLEDGEVILLE CONVENTION.
The Democracy of Georgia may well congratulate
itself upon the action of the recent Gubernatorial
Convention. It was a theme of common remark by
all who were present to witness its deliberations, that
there never was known a larger, more enthusiastic
or more harmonious assembly. The wisdom, the in
telligence, the patriotism nf lhe people were congre
gated, and not the least interesting, instructive and
encouraging fact in relation to it was, that its dele
gates comprised many members of the old Whig
Party.—This fact tended to excite a novel interest in
its proceedings, and greatly increased the general en
thusiasm that prevailed. It was emphatically and
truly a convention of the people, not less because it
was composed of the people themselves, then be
cause it so admirably represented the wishes of the
great majority of the citizens ot lhe Slate, and save
such emphatic response to the universal voice of
their primary assemblies in relation to the re-union
of the Democracy. It* action will forever silence
the groundless tears of friends, and the ill-timed
sneers ol enemies, in relation to lhe long since fixed
fact of that much lalkedof re-union. It can no lon
ger be denied, except hy those who refuse to open
their eyes to the light, that the Democratic party in
Georgia .are united, in heart and in action, in sup
port oftheir principles and their men. If any thing
was needed to perfect their harmony and add to their
strengih, it has been more than supplied in the selec

THE WHIG CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR.
The Whig Convention has placed before the peo
ple of Georgia 'he name of Charles J. Jenkins, as
their candidate for Governor. Air. Jenkins is a man
nf character and ability, and worthy of the honora
ble position nf standard bearer of the Whig party.
| No man more truly reflects die sentiment of that par-
j ty—no one has labored more faithfully in defence
nf iis principles: and whilst we accord to him all lhe
qualities of a gentleman and statesman, we know of
■ no one whose political course ai d sentiments cri ale
J a less claim upon any portion ofthe Democracy for
I their support, than does Mr. Jenkins. He has been
j their constant, undeviating and unfaltering oppo-
j nent. During our recent div isions Air. Jenkins was
j associated with lhe Union Democracy, but no one
evinced an earlier anxiety than himself to return to
j the national Whig party. We publish to day a let-
■ ter written by him to the editor of Iho Savannah Re-
i publican, on the 1st of July, 1652. and we ask lor it
[ the attentive perusal ofonr readers. Let it he borne
i in mind that this letter was written immediately after
, the nominations of lhe two National Conventions,
1 when both the candidates and platform,! ofthe Whig
I and Democratic parties were before the country.
The appeal will be made to Union Democrats to
support Mr. Jenkins. Before they consent to yield that Judge Johnson determined to sustain
! their influence lo the election of the Whig candidate, the decision nf l lie Gent gia Convention,
let them learn from this letter the position wh:ch he
occupied during the late contest. Whut were his
feelings towards the Democratic party and its candi
date in July last? He says that at that time he had ‘a
stronger desire than ever before lo adhere to the. na
tional IIhig party,” that he did not feol that lie had
been "at all Democratized’’hy his association with
Union Democrats, and this is his deliberntejudgment,
altpr ‘the closest self examination.” and that he
•should be very sorry to see the Constitutional Union
party vote en masse for the Democrelic nominee
and this is the candidate who is presented to Union
Democrats in opposition to lhe regular nominee of
Iheir own narty. That Mr Jenkins should receive
the support ol Whigs, who, like him, have such a
strong desire to return to the Nafmnal Whig parly, is
not strange or to he wondered at. but Imw our oppo
nents can calculate upon receiving any support front
the ranks of the Democracy, we cann at under
stand.
Before the Convention, it was said that the Hon.
Andrew J. Miller would be nominated, and bis well
known support of the Democratic candidate for Pres-
i ident. induced a well grounded hope that many Union
I Democrats could be induced to give him their vote —
| He had stood by them in the late Presidential election
| and there would have been some force in this appeal
| to them now to sland hy him. But unfortunately for Mr
Alillers aspirations, the very reasons which would
Resolce/l. That the question nf submission to the
Compromise is settled in this Slate; and that it is the
duly of the people for lhe future, to unite as one
man. in the inflexible determination lo maintain, to
the letter, lhe position which Georgia has taken a-
giinst all future aggression by Congress upon the in
stitution of slavery
Peso!ned. That in view of the indications given
by the Northern Democracy, to consider the slavery
question as finally settled by the Compromise to en
force the Fugitive Slave Lhw and to oppose its re
peal or nuiteii d modification. Georgia should be rep
resented in the Baltimore Convention, to co operate-
iu such artiiui by tnat body and the nomination ofsiu h
Candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency,
as will give vitality and efficacy to the Compromise,
secure safety to the South and harmony to the confed
eracy.

object with the President and the people is
to have the offices filled with good and com

Whigs believe that the great democratic

six crumbs, they will be disappointed. The
Democracy did not elect Gen. Pierce Pres

be very solicitous whether he appoints a

The Cassville Standard in com
menting uponthe Whig Convention makes
the following just remar ks concerning Mr.
Jenkins lhe Whig candidate for Governor:
With Air. Jenkins, their nominee, we have ths
horror of an acquainlan~e. He i§ a gentleman, a
high-toned, honorable man—one of nature’s gifted
sons. We deem thus much due to him. But we
object to his political principles, prejudices and par
tialities. Well do we remember the effort he made
in the Union convention, which met just before the
Baltimore convention, lo arouse the prejudices of
Union Whigs, against any democratic nominee for
President; Ind that lie, more than any other man,
prevented the Union party troin sending delegates to
the Democratic Baltimore convention: and lhat ill
the last Presidential election he refused to vote for
Gen Pierce, when they agreed in principle, merely
because he was the nominee of the Democratic
party.
Pleasant no doubt.
No doubt it was pleasant to our friends of
the Recorder to see Gen. Jno. W. A. ban-
ford in the presiding officer’s Chair ofthe
Toombs Convention. It wa9 pleasant for
them to laugh at him in their sleeves, and be
consoled with the reflection that a man who
once claimed to be a Democrat had offered
his broad shoulders to bear the body of the
defunct Toombs Party on the aolemn occa
sion of ita demise next October.
