Is this fairy’ land ? No, iU only poor, old barren Nova Scotia; and yet I think Felix, Prince ofSalemo, if he were here, might say, and say truly, too ‘In all my life I never beheld a- more enchanting. place;’ hut-Felix, Prince of Salerno, must remember 'this is the month of June, and summer is not perpetual in latitude of forty-five. We reached at last Deer’s Castle. Pony un der tho hands of Bill, seems remarkably' cheer ful and fresh after his long travel up’ hill and down. When he pops out of his harness, with his knock-knees end sturdy, stocky little frame, he looks very like an animated sawbuck, dothed in seal skin; and with a jump and snort, and flourish of tail, he escorts Bill to tho stable, as if twenty miles over a rough road was a trifle worth no consideration. A savory odor of frying bacon and eggs stole forth from the door as we sat, in tho calm sum mer air, upon the atone fence: William Deer, Jr., was wandering about in front of the castle, endeavoring to get control of his under lip and keep his exerberant mirth within tho limiU of decorum; but cvciy instant, to use a militaiy figure, it would flash in the pan. Up on the barre rocks. were the wretched, wo-begone, patched and ragged log huU of poor Cuffcc. Tho hour and season were suggestive of philos ophizing, of theories and questions. ‘Mrs. Deer,’ said I, ‘is that your husband’s portrait on the back of the sign,’ (there was a picture of a stag with antlers on the reverse of the poetical swing board, either intended as a pictogreph pun upon the name of ‘Deer,’ or as a hint to sportsmen of good game hereabouts.) ‘Why,’ replied MraDeer, an old tidy wench of fifty, pretty well bent by rheumatism, and so square in the lower half of her figure and so spare in the upper that she appeared to have been carved out of her own hips, ‘why as to dat, he ain’t good looking to brag on, but I don’t think he looks quite like a beast, neither.’ At this unexpected retort Bill flashed off so many pans at once that he seemed to be a' pla toon of militia. My companion also enjoyed it immensely. Being an invalid, I could not par ticipate in the general mirth. ‘Mrs. Deer,’ said I ‘how long have you lived here?’ *Oh sah, a good many years; I cum here a- foro I had Bill dah.’ He the pan twice. ‘Where did you reside before you came here to Nova Scotia ?’ ‘Sah?’ ‘Where did you live?' ‘Oh, sah! 1 is from Maryland,’ (William at it again.) •Did you run away ?’ ‘Yes, sah; I left when I was young, Bill, wat are you laughing at ? I was young once.’ ‘Were you married then—when you run a- way ?’ *Ohyes,sah!’ (A glance at Bill who was eff again.) ‘And you left your husband behind in Mary land ?’ ‘Yes, sah, but he didn't stay long dar after I left lie was after me putty sharp soon as I traveled.’ Here Mrs. Deer and William exchang ed glances and indulged freely in mirth do y thun in the next apartment, while we were at his eggs and bacon in tho banquet hall; but Deer, of Deer Castle is a prince to his neighbors. I shall not easily forget the brightening eyes, Hie mvin g'auiv of iutclligci in tin- lari- of an other old negro, a hostler, in Nova Scotia. He was from Virginia, and adopting the sweet’ mel lifluous language of his own home, I asked him whether he liked best to stay where he was or go hack to *01d Virginny!’ ‘Oh, massa,’ said he, with such a look, ‘you must know dat I has de warmest side for my own country.’ sly ‘And which placebo you like the best—this or Maryland ?’ ‘Why, I never had no such work .to do at home as I have to do here, grubhin’ up old stumps and stone; dem isn’t women’s work. When I was home I had only, to wait on niiisis, and work was light and easy.’' (William quiet) ‘But which place do you like the best—Nova Scotia or Maryland ?’ ‘Oh! de work here is awful, grubbin’ up old stones and stumps; ’taint fit for women.’ ( Wil liam much impressed with the cogency of this repetition.) •But-which placo do you like the best?’ ‘And do winter hero—oh! it’s wonderful try- in’.’ (William utters an affirmative flash.) ‘But which place do you like the best?’ ‘And den dar’s de rheumatiz.’ ‘But which place do you like the best, Mrs. Deer?’ ‘Well,’ said Mrs. Deer, glancing' at Bill, I, like Nova Scotia best’ (Whatever visions of Maryland wero gleaming in William’s mind seemed to be entirely quenched by this remark.) ‘But why,’ said I, *do you prefer Nova Soctia to Maryland ? Hero youhave to work so much harder, to suffer so much from the cold and tho rheumatism, and get so little for it;’ for I could not help looking over tho grccrupatch of stony glut *>■»* had been rescued by the labor of a quarter of a century. •Oh P replied Mrs. Deer, *do diffence is, dat himit-'r V When I work here I work for myself, and when Ha in a doi iwiul iimrlo of merriment. 1 was working at homo I was working for other train a peipetual jingle of merriment peop , & , At th i s William broke forth again in such a series offlashes that we all joined in with infinite merriment •Mrs. Deer,’ said I, recovering my gravity, ‘I want to. ask you one moro question. ‘Well, sah,’said tho lady Deer, cocking her head on one side, expressive of being able to an swer any number of questions in a twinkling. ‘You have, no doubt, still many relatives left in Maryland ?’ •Oh, yes!’ replied Mrs. Deer, *011 of dem are dah.’ ‘And suppose you hod a chance to advise them in regard to this matter, would you tell them to run away and take part with you in Nova Scotia, or would you advise them to stay where they aro?’ Mrs Deer, at this looked a long time at \\ ll- 11am, and William looked earnestly at his pa rent Then she cocked her head on tho other side to take a new view of the question. Then she gathered up her mouth and eyebrows in a puzzle, and again broadened out upon Bill an odd kind of a smile; and then she doubled up one fist, put it against her chedk, glanced at Bill, and out came the answer ‘Well, sah, i <t let ’em take dere own heads for dat’ I must ^ n o»ca the philosophy of this remark awakened in me a train of very grave reflections, but iny companion buret in a most obstreperous laugh. As for Mrs. Deer, she shook her old hips as long as sho could stand, and then sat down and con tinued, until sho wiped the tears out of her eyes with the comer of her apron. William cast himself down upon a strawberry bank and gave way to the most flagrant mirth, kicking up his old shoes in the air, and fairly wallowing in laughter and blossoms. I endeavored to change tho subject ‘Bill did you catch any trout P It was some time before William could control ■ himself to say, ‘Not a single one, sah;’ and then ho rolled oyer on his back, put his black paws up to his eyes, and twitched to his heart's con tent I did not ask Mrs. Peer any more ques tions : but there is a moral in the story, enough for a* day. As we rattled over tho road, after our brief dinner at Deer’s Castle, I could not avoid a rpc- vading feeling of gloom and disappointment, in spite of tho balmy air and tho pretty landscape. Tho old ragged abodes of wretchedness seemed to be ton dearly defined—to stand out too in trusively against the bright blue sky. But why should I feel so much for Cuffee? Has he not enlisted in his behalf every philanthropist in Bn- eland ? Is ho not within ten miles of either the British flag or Arcadia? Docs not the Duchess of Southerland entertain tho authoress of ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin,' and tho ‘Black Swan. Why should I sorrow for Cuffee when ho ism die midst of his best friends ? Why s.iould Ipre- tend to say tlrnt this appears to he the raggedet-t and the meanest, the worst condition of human- tv when the papers are rconstantly lauding British philanthropy, and holding it up as an example, to which wo must ‘bow do wn and wor ship ? For my own part, although tho pleas- antfiction ol seeing Cuffee dothed, and Christianized seemed to bo somewhat ob- scured in this glimpse of his real condition, jet ihop.be will do well under his new owners; . ,1 ‘ rerr least, that his berry crop will be eood and that a benevolent British blanket or two may enable him to shiver out the winter safcl v, if not comfortably.

The Hon. E. A. Nesbit, from the Committee appointed to draft suitable resolutions on the death of Dr. Martin, late of this Court, reported the following: Since the last term of thin Court, ijs Clerk, Dr. Robert E. Martin, has departed this life.— Elected when the Court Was organized in 184S, he discharged the duties of Clerk until his death. By the concurring testimony of tho Bench and Bar, lie was an excellent officer—prompt, accu rate, patient and courteous. Ho had the confi dence of tlie successive incumbents of the Bench as an officer, and their affectionate re gard as a man. His zeal for the honor and usefulness of the Court was uniform and earn est. He was endowed by nature with fino parts, which were improved by-extensive inter course with men, and a Tcmarkably keen pow er of observation, with a quick perception of the ludicrous himself he possessed in an emi nent degree the faculty of becoming the cause of mirth in-ethers. lie was an amiable liu morist, and excelled in narrative. He was also charitable and generous. These qualities made him an exceedingly agreeable companion, and he became, and continued to be, a favorite with the Bar. With a suddenness which shocked his numerous friends, h’b has been called hence. Wo'are saddened by the loss of our friend and long time associate; but we know that the Great Disposer ordercth all things well; and tlie lesson we would fain learn from this painful dispensation is—that death is the universal Law, and preparation to meet it, the universal obligation. r - Resolved, That the foregoing article-be en tered upon the minutes of this Court, and that the Clerk furnish a copy to the nearest relatives of the deceased. REShoXSE OP JUDGE 2.WPEIX. Never since attaining to manhood—do I rec ollect to have been so shocked by any death— as that of Dr. Martin. It was so sudden, so sad, without any figure of speech, I can say truly, that the mournful intelligence made me sick at heart—life has seemed to mo more cheer less ever since. Fourteen yews ago, we met as officers of this Court, he as Clerk, I as Judge—that relation continued till dissolved by death. All tlie oth er members of the Court have changed, and now 1 alone remain to lament the loss, we have all sustained. ' How many hours we have spent together in talking over- the trials and troubles of this tri bunal. No similar institution, in any other civilized country in tho world—has encounter ed such unreasonable opposition, such unmeri ted bufferings. But the time will come when tho troth will triumph. Our people arc not only just hut intelligent"and generous. In due sea son they will, instead of seeking to destroy an establishment which even with its defective organization has done so much to elevate the Judiciary of the State abroad and secure a just and fiuthful administration of the law at home —bend their best efforts to perfect tho system. This is nlike the dictate of wisdom and enlight ened patriotism.. But how great a loss—shall we all suffer—in the soul cheering companionship of the deceas ed—who shall relate for our amusement the stories of the good old days of our Fathers and Mothers? What was there peculiar to that palmy period—that he did not nt*nimatcin his life-like pictures ? Tho old home-stead with its neat but plain furniture—its dean scoured plain tables and split bottom chairs. Tho white washed walls with the little glass suspended, surmounted and surrounded with Bachelor’s buttons, and the fringed towel of domestiemanu- tacturc liangingbcneath. The square bedsteads with turned posts and home-made cords. The huge tan trough for manufacturing leather of the hides of tho beeves killed for the family, and out of which were made the stitch-downs, welted, or pegged shoes, with shoe thread from flax spun upon the place, and the wax made of rosin from the neighboring pine. The" dipped candles; tho clay baked pipe. Topics like these were tho never failing themes of tho Doctor’s discourse. And then amongst the few books upon the tiny shelf underneath tho glass, in ad dition to' the family Bible, Dilworth’s Arithme tic, and Webster’s Spelling Book, was that won derful novel Charlotte Templo, the only work of fiction the Doctor ever read. What a feast of soul ho always esteemed it What was Bul- wer’s last novel compared with that ? _ Who will forget the sensation created at “Wal kcr’s Meeting House,” when the first plated stirrups and panel painted gig were seen there? how ono after another would steal in, and whis per tlie incredible news, until the congregation could no longer he kept together, and when it k MACON, JANUARY 17, 1860.

Tue Geography or CoxsrxPTiox.—Consump tion originates in all latitudes—from the Kqua- tor, where the mean temperature is eighty de grees, with flight variations, to the higher por tion of tho Temperate Zone, where tho mean temperature is forty degrees, with sudden and riolent changes. The opinion, long entertained that it is peculiar to cold and humid climates, is found on error. Far from this being the case the tables of mortality warrant the conclusion that consumption is moro prevalent in tropical than in temperate countries. Consumption is .ire in the Arctic regions, in Siberia, Iceland, tiic Faroe Islands, tho Orkneys, Shctlands, and Hebrides. Aud i n confirmation of the opinion tint it decreases Willi the deen-a-e of tvmpera- ture it is shown, from extensive data, that in Northern Europe it is most prevalent at the level of the sea, and that it decreases with in crease of elevation to a certain point. It is uni- formly more fatal in cities than in the country.

Last year we were induced to accept the agency for the sale of Kettlewell'a Manipulated Gnano up on well authenticated reports received from Mary land, Virginia and the Carolina! where thia great and'atnndard Manure, for all crops had* been thoro ughly tried and tested. We issued a circular to the Planter! of Georgia, adviaing them to bay. Many hundred tons were distributed throughout the State, and was nsed upon all crops, and as far as we can learn the result tus been more successful than any Fertilizer now used in our State. We therefore, ap pear again before you, with renewed confidence more thoroughly baaed upon experiment and actu al demonstration and observation.

Gu anoof the choicest kinds are aeiected and Manipu lated with great precision, and with the means in vested aud employed to eariy on this work, he came to-the conctnsion that this Gnano is entitled to aft the confidence and character claimed for it. So •accessfol has Mr. Kettleweii's enterprise been that many articles are forced upon the public' claiming to be Manipulated Gnano, &c., mere imitations, with no claim to the name of Manipulation, mere mix tures by hand and ab'ovei of Guanos of denttful character—hence, the importance of proper discrim ination, by Planters.

Truly yours, “D.” New York, Nov, 19,1859. Professor JAMES J. MAPES, Dear Sir:—I have no hesitation in saying, that I have used your Super-Phosphate of Lime since 1859; in that year, using 7} tons; each year since. I have use it in varying quantities. Its average effect has been allyou promised. 1 rely on it in all cases to pat in with the seed, to give an early and healthful growth to the plant. I have invariably found the article ofgood quality, and, if anything, better, in- 1856 than m 1859. Respectfully, yours, - - HENRY C. VAIL. From Judge E. A. Nesbit : Macon, Georgia, Nov. 7tb, 1859. Some time ago Fused a ton ofProf. Mapes’ Phos phate of Lime as a fertilizer for cotton. The sum- mer was exceedingly dry, and therefore unfavora ble to a fair experiment. The result, however, was an increased product of 900 pounds to the sore, using the ton npon 19 acres. Prof. Mapes’ recent, improvements in this article, from what I learn of it, I have no doubt have made it more desirable as a fertilizer Ilian was tho original aiticlc, and I can see that the nse of it mutt be very profitable. COTTON. , Columbia, S. C., Oct. 18, 1859. Mr. J.J. MAPES: Dear 8ir—In reply to yours of the 1st inst., I cheerfully state: lhave nsed Mapes' Nitrogenized Super-Pbosphste on my Cotton of id i “ ” ipes •i the present year, and am perfectly satisfied with its yield. I-can recommend it to my neighbors' with confi dence. as a pare and effective manure, and wonld give it the preference to any other in the market. ' Yours respectfully, THOS. DAVIS. Columbia, S. O., Sept. 90.-1859 J. J. MAPES, Esq.: Dear Sir—1 have very great pleasure in writing you touching the effects of your Super-Phosphate of Lime on our cotton crop. Having tested it agsinst four other preparations, I find tbe appearance of the >Iant is most hopeluL and promising, as regards a arge and remunerating yield. I feel certain your manure will give trom one hundred to one hundred and thirty pounds of Cotton more than anj other preparation per acre. It is a remarkable fact that no Rust jsseeninthe plant whore vonr manure has been used, while all others show Rust, more or less, and this is especial ly the case where Guano has been nsed. And last, though not least, as regards the Planter's interest, I fsel certain that cotton from Snper-Phos- phate will weigh much heavier than from any oth er preparation, in this particular. I believe Phos phates are destined to work, tho greatest possible revolution' in tbe cotton-growing States to tbe South. .. . The plants look most vigorous and luxurious, some being six feet high, and holding from eighty to one hundred and ten Bolls each stalk. CLOTHING.
