EooHrii A HOMEMADE MANURE, We extract the following frogi a com* munication to the Selma Southern Argus. We have the finest portion of the world for oar inheritance, and the only land to which millions of gold can be drawn with out sending a dollar’s worth of the soil’s virtue in return. Our. cotton seed is a multiplying gold mine, which hitherto has not been appreciated, but if we do not soon realize their importance, other countries will possess them. And here I may re~ mark that as usually applied, two-thirds or more of their virtue is lost, and it may not be valueless to give some directions for making a compost, iu which every pound of ooMon seed or stable manure is made to be worth three times as much as when used in tiie ordinary ways. The fol* lowing is the plan used by my father in permanently enriching his lands in Vir ginia, and which has been tried by many in Alabama, with the most gratifying re sults: 1. Build a -four square’ rail pen, about six feet high’ 2. In the‘ bottom put a layer six inches deep of muck, or top soil from fence corners or woods. 3. On this layer of soil put two inches of cotton seed or |table manure. 4. If to be had put on this one inch of ashes. Low Frtees. 5. Having previously dissolved a bushel ot salt in about three barrels es water, with this water slake one barrel of quick lime, ar.d with this salt and lime water wet the layers which have been put down., 6. Repeat the courses in order, viz: six inches muck, two inches cotton seed or manure, one inch ashes (if at hand) and salt and lime water; after the pile is suffi ciently high, top with eight inches muck or top soil; and if practicable, shelter the pen, When ready 7 to apply take down one side or more of the pen, and with a sharp grub hoe shaVe down the heap from top to bottom, so as to cut the materials fine and mix the layers, One quart of the compost is worth as much as the, same amount of cotton seed, and the dirt has been, made as good as the seed. This is the cheapest and best fertilizer that can be used. No farmer should waste his seed or stable manure by applying in the ordinary way* For such planters as may not find the time and labor to make such compost, or who may need more than they can manus facture, Col. Gilliam, . Philip St. George Cock, Professor of Agricultural Science at the Virginia Military Institute, .will prepare and have sold in Mobile, Selma and Montgomery, this winter a chemical preparation by use of which every farmer can manipulate his cotton seed into a fer tilizer in his own gin-house, at a cos-t of not more than S3O per ton; and this home made fertilizer will, be worth more, than the mo3t of commercial-manures. It -.will pay better than anything ever before offer ed to the most valuable and scientifically prepared article, 1 induced Col. Gilham to make for me and my friends about Tuscaloosa, this spring, a complete cotton fertilizer, which has been thoroughly tesjed there this sea son. Although that.region has. suffered by a most extraordinary drougnt, Gilliam’s fertilizes has excelled all others, and paid from one to two hundred per cent, on the investment, and containing every element of.fertility, it hqp made cotton on land that was entirely barren. . It will afford me mnch pleasure to corns nmnicate with any persons who may de sire anything further on these subjects. » Yours truly, J.

DEMoussr’i Moxriisv-, 838 Broadway, New t A HORROR AT SEA. SUICIDE OF OVER F<'UR HUNDRED COOLIES Correspondence N. Y, World. Havana. Nov 11.— A “drama of the son” that scenes of horror mitt incidents of death, stands forth with unfortunate pro minence, has just been brought under pub lic notice here. Since Sunday, two vessels' carrying eon lies have arrived—the Salvadorian ship Macau, with 400 ‘Colonos Asiaticos,’ and the French Bark, Tarnarif*, with onhbsrxtv-. eight. It, is upon the latter vessel lliaL the ‘drama’ occured. Having left Maeao for Havana on Feb nary 6, wi,th Three hundred indentured Chinese, a Chfnese doctor, Portugimse in terpreter, a captain and a crew of eighteen men, the vessel sailed to within iHO mikes of Java without anything notable happen ing on board; but tlien and there the in dentured Chinese revolted and killed the captain (Rannie,) and the interpreter. _ The crew, powerless to resist the infn> riated Celestials, took to the boats.• which they launched, and then abandoned the vessel. They wore fortunate enough I*o reach Java in a few days, and reported the affair to the Dutch authorities, A Dutch war vessel was at once sent in pursuit of the Tamris, but had to cruise' tor. her thirty days before meeting her*— After a slight resistance the mutinied Chi nese in possession of her surrendered, arid the Chinese, captain and other Chinese of ficials installed on board after tlie crew abandoned her, as well as the majority of the other’Chinese on tnfard, were loaded with*chains and kept in the hold ' The 1 arnaris was then conveyed to P;i« dang, where anew captain (Casolis) and thejold crew of eighteen men were put on board, and then she started once more for Havana* Os the 300 cOolies- taken on-nt Macao, fifty-five perished in the linftiny and iii re sisting the Dutch war vessel, so:'i'h"<li the second start was made with only 245 coo lies on board. When these coolies ascertained that the# were after ail to be taken to Cuba, they became desperate, and at every opportu nity jumped overboard. Many, deprived of the opportunity to* drown themselves, committed suicide by actual starvation:’ This felo ds Stj-ing continued nearly the whole voyage, so that when the Tamavis reached Havana she had, as stated, onlv sixty .•eight, Chinese on board—no less that* 232 having perished during- the eventful voyage of nine months’ Juration. It is useless to add-that the trip lias been a losing one! to those) who chartered the vessel and indentured the con'Hes, - • El Cazador. The Championship.— With all duo respect for Mr. Boyle, of New York, and in justice to m . John Grubb,* bf this city, w« --must, say that Mr. Boyle’s effort to retain ‘he championship of America as the fastest ve locipede rider, is an extremely Jarne one, after having entered the race and lost. It was announced, weeks beforehand, that the race was for $250 in gold and the chains pionshtp of America and,with this distinct understanding on the part*of the public &ud Mr. Grubb! the j-ace „came off, and Mr. Boyle lost. He excuses his defeat on the play-of illness, but sti.ll claims the cham pionship. If he tvas jll, which we do toot deny, he should not have entered the race until he was in proper condition, or should have publicly announced to the crowd that he would do his best,under the circumstances; but not with the understanding that lie Was riding for the championship. If he really thinks he is entitled to the distinction. Mr. Grubb, in his card ot yesterday, gives, him a beautiful chance to make his title good, and if he fails or refuses to accept ilie challenge, he rnust surjender the chaifipions ship which he so tenaciously endeavors to hold after he has fairly lost it. , The fact is, Grubb,/.‘.waked up” this New York velocipedest, who hadooutemptously remarked that he could beat, auy of the “Georgia jumpers and sleep op his machine while doing so.;” and the gotnl of it is, Grubb can do it again, and tn the tune of SSOO or $ 1,000. Who thinks otherwise?— Tdegt ap/i and Messenger. A Peoples Monument to Mr. Peabody.— A,gentleman in, New York proposes to one of the papers of that city that a .mon ument be built in Central Park to the mem ory of George Peabody, and suggests- that no contribution greater than one .dollar lar shall bp accepted from a single source; in order that all ruay have an opportunity to .contribute, and that the proposed .mon ument may be truly a popular and national offering. The idea is an eminently pro per one, and the plan seems feasible, but the fate of the Washington national mon ument euterpriya is not calculated to in* spire, fany very great amount of hopeful* ness. Never Say Die.—From the telegram from Washington to. day we judge, that Aody Johnson lias nailed the above motto to his ruast. He is going to boon, hand this winter at Washington!to give the Radicals the.best he has in shop as, a geuerilla. Very well. We ."would ♦ have prefered his making the fight in the Sen.-- ate, bui better outside than not at all. We don’t euro a fig for his “making Rome howl,” etc., but we do want the truth of history told, as we believe he alone can do it. It he can add one mite to th.e pows er that all patriots invoke against those who have so wickedly thiown away .a pearl richer than all, their tribe, we give him God speed in the endeavor. For John son’s fight for Johnson we have no special sympathy, lint when Johnson fights for the good ot ihu people and theuv country, he is bound to have our warmest wishes for a splendid victory.
