OONSTITUTIONALIST. ATJGHJSTA. Q-A. SUNDAY MORNING, FEB. 28,1869 BONES. Bones have been long used in England as a fertilizer. Old or new, dry bones or green —with larger or smaller proportion of or ganic matter—broken into various sized lumps, pulverized, or ground into flour and spread over the surface, or turned under it, they have proved more or less valuable to all soils. The more comminuted the par ticles, the quicker will be their action. The larger pieces, while continuously yielding a portion of their virture, decompose slowly, and postpone, of course, the period of their exhaustion. This property, belonging also to humus, and some other substances, gave rise, no doubt, to the high sounding term of permanent mauure. A quality of eminent worth, by no means to be derided, but it need not be extravagantly lauded in con trast with, and in disparlgeraent of, its op posite. Both are essential to progressive agriculture. The y one brings speedy and gratifying returns for well directed labor— the other establishes an enduring improve ment of the land. Their union, with power ful elements in concentrated form, would constitute a perfect fertilizer. The efforts in search of it, have been as arduous and unremitted as for the philosopher’s stone, in the days of alchemy. While the latter sprangjfrom ignoble motives, and proved a delusion, this foreshadowed absolutely by science, must inevitably be discovered. A piece of laud in Sweden had given a long succession of wheat crops without manure, when Berzelius discovered on it many fragments of bones, which suggested that the locality had been an ancient battle field. Bones, long buried, supposed to have been preserved from the ante-deluvian era, were found, on analysis, to contain some animal as well as mineral constituents; proving how slow with them is the natural process of putrefaction and decay. Being so sparingly destructible by the ordinary action of the elements, they may be gather ed at leisure and be treated for agricultural purposes altogether, at one’s convenience, with the certainty of deriving from them good results. Their components were first made known by Hetchell about seventy years ago. Subsequently Berzelius gave the following quantitative analysis of the bones of man and pf the ox : « 100 parts of human bones contain Phosphate of lime 61.04 Flerate of lime '••• 2.00 Carbonate of lime 11.30 Phosphate of magnesia 1 16 Soda and common salt 1.20 Auimal matter 33.30 Os the ox, Phosphate of lime.... 55.35 Flerate of lime 2.00 Carbonate of lime 3.85 Phosphate of magnesia 2.05 Soda and common salt 3.45 Auimal matter 33.30 The proportions are not constant in dif ferent bones of the same animal, nor of similar bones of different animals of the same species. The inorganic matter is less In the yonng than in the full grown. There are more phosphates in the ox than in man. The carbonate of lime is less in carniverous —its ratio between .the sheep compared with their phosphates, 24.1 to 2.0. ;lu.‘some bones there traces of potash and Iron. _ important ingredients are Life WHuite of lime arid the animal sub- JRance. It has been a vexed question among the chemists, which of these exerted the beneficial influence on soils, usually fol lowing the application of bones. Sfren oel and Liebig, of the highest authority, advocate the former, the phosphate, and deny that an Y s erv * ce is rendered by the latter. Petzholdt considers it abso lutely hurtful. Johnston and others com bat the opinion, and urge th* advan tages derived from both. It appears en tirely reasonable to admit the good effects of the gelatine. Its composition is iden tical with that of skin, aud nearly the same with wool, hair and horn, contaiu iug about seventeen per cent, of nitrogen, and all admirable fertilizers when compost ed or otiierwise decomposed. The animal parts contain ten times more ammonia, by weight, and sixty-six times more phosphate, than cow manure. Bones are difficult of solution—the phos phate especially—even when grouud into flour. When calcined, there remains the earth of bones, chiefly a phosphate, ot about half and half lime and phosphatic acid, which is partially soluble by the or ganic acids of the soil, and thus fluds its way ii)to the roots of plants. They have been applied to soil in various modes—in drills, and broadcast over the land, covered and uncovered. A piece of unmanured ground that yielded ten tons of turnips, returned twenty-one tons to an application of over a thousand pounds per acre of burned bones. In wet seasons they have produced, unground, as much as 40 per cent, increase over the natural soil. Iu very dry seasons their action is slight. The quantity used has varied from a few bushels to seventy bushels per acre—from a few hundred pounds to two and a half tous. The effect has been shown of a single application from twenty to sixty years. When bones are treated with sulphuric acid, a portion of the lime is abstracted, forming sulphate of lime, or gypsum, and leaving an excess of phosphoric acid, which constitutes w iuii its lime base, the biphos phate of lime, or the superphosphate, readi ly soluable in water, and the valuable and popular fertilizer of ;the present day. The Darien Oanal. THE TOLL GATE OF TWO HEMISPHERES — WHAT THE ENTERPRISE WILE SAVE TO THE COMMERCE OF THE WORLD. The Boston Post , in its comments upon Mr. Cushing’s treaty with the Colombian Government, in reference to the Darien ship canal, says: The statistics of commerce themselves supply the safest suggestions respecting the best mode of accomplishing this grandest enterprise of modern days. It has been es timated that the annual value of a ship canal across the Isthmus would be fully thirty-five million of dollars to the United States alone ; that to Prance it would be a saving of more than two millions ; to Eng land of nearly ten ; and to the rest of the world about a million and a half—making in all an advantage of about fifty millions in money per year. This Includes the rav ings to commerce in every way—time, wages, outfits, wear and tear, insurance and interest. Admiral Davis fully indorsed this statement in the report he rendered on a ship canal in 1866. Another method would be to make an estimate by the amount of our tonnage, both foreign and domestic, and reckon up what would be the advantage on that basis. Cargoes would not, o' course, be included in the statement. The sum total of the tonnage of the U nited States in 1861 was 5,539,818 tons. Dividing it equally between foreign and domestic, as was very nearly the fact, it is estimated that, of the two and three- quarter million tons of foreign tonnage, two millions would certainly pass through this commercial conduit across the Isth mus. Putting the value of the vessels, without their cargoes, at a hundred mil lions in gold, and reckoning a saving of ninety days in every year on shortened voyages, we secure a saving in interest of a million and three-quarters in gold, at seven per centum. We see, then, some fraction of the profit and power which is to fall into our hands if we follow out the line drawn by these sug gestions. It will not do for us to embark in such an enterprise in the niggardly spirit of mere money-makers. The advantage i.f to be for the commerce of the world. The vessels of all nations are to pour their streams of commerce through this vital artery. Wc must entertain only broad ideas in entering upon its accomplishment. Oar own advantage will be best secured as we are liberal in our own views of the benefit to other nations. We should rather regard ourselves as the agent of tRe two opposite quarters of the globe, becoming the factor, the carrier and the commission merchant of both. The success of General Cushing’s mission revives all the specula tions of the past concerning this revolution in the tides of the world’s commerce, and excites hopes which will only prove too well based when this noble plan shall have been begun and pushed forward to comple tion. We stand exactly in the great com mercial highways; and we are more than blind and deaf if we refuse to go forward in consummating that comprehensive plan of commercial power and prosperity which has for its three great pillars, a trans-conti nental railway system, the cutting of a ship canal through the Isthmus, and the estab-. mist of a safe and capacious naval station in the West Indies. , Newspaper Meddling With Women’s Af fairs. An aggrieved feminine takes the editors of the Richmond Enquirer to task'for im pertinent intermeddling with matters that peculiarly concern the ladies. There may be a little irony in what she says, aud, in fact, the author may not be wtolly unac customed to boots and trowsers; yet he, or she, as the case may be, fires a broadside, and we give it as a warning tosueh of out brethren as feel a desire for oiending in a similar way: Richmond, February 22,1809. Messrs. Editors : You tall a great deal in your venerable paper about the “ tradi tions” of Virginia, and I big leave to re mind you that one of those traditions is that the columns of a newspaper is not a fit place to discuss the practices of Virginia women. Under its present control the En quirer is a great deal more exercised about the women of Virginia than we are about it. Don’t you think able articles on poli tics, financial questions and the like, would be far more profitable to your readers than your twaddle about Valenciennes lace and our female dancing, about which you only show your ignorance ? We have fully considered this question, and as we are conscious of innocence in ad mitting a gentleman’s arm around our waist where there is no concealment, it Is no concern of soured and antediluvian bach elors whether it is proper or not. You admit that the dance is “ beautiful;” and that is an answer to all your objec tions. As to yonr fine sentiments about « womanhood,” and Raphael’s “Madonnas,” the present generation of Virginia women have the good sense not to aspire to be an gels ; we are only women —aud some of us very charming women, at that. Your crit icisms would all do very well for the prayer meetings at the First Baptist Church ; but they excite only amusement among those of us who attend the delightful “ hops ” at the Spots wood. I write at the instance of many “ girls.” who justly felt indighant at your imperti nent interference in matters entirely out of your province. Do you attend to the “ Committee of Nine,” and leave the do main of pleasure and the arts of social life to those who have always ruled them, and who iutend not to abdicate to a dry old political paper. Men can goto the Can-Can, and women are not to enjoy ay^pudHwtf. ~ zens of seen at that horrid place, ; > " >r’rVbtlt T)u paper yoa presume to ■eVjjjr-;" Let me advise you to attend. ami we wilt Yhere was a JFidiculuus urticw to juul papeV some iiifie ago about our extrava gance in dress ; I have only to remark that we do not smoke and we do not drink, and if statistics can be trusted, what you are pleased to denominate the “nobler” sex, spend about as much money as ours. We marry you to be supported, and if you can’t support us, yoir had not better broach that subject. You want us to look well; and how can we look well without dressing? You published a piece the other day about a Mrs. Raiser who had cut her hus band’s throat, and then remarked that “ this thing would have to be stopped,” as if wo men were in the habit of cutting their hus band’s throats. I am daily anticipating an article in the Enquirer & Examiner on Painting. 1 sup pose you think that un-Virginian. I expect our grandmothers were as attentive to their getting up as we are; and I know our grandfathers had much less to say about it than the young American moralists of the present day. I remain, very respectfully, yours, Caroline. Horace Greeley to the New York News Boys. Hon. Horace Greeley, editor of the New York Tribune, delivered an address recently to the New York newsboys. The following abstract of it contains much wholesome advice: As the result of many years’ experience he believed a man should not be poor all his life, and unless poverty was the result of misfortune, it was unjustifiable. By riches he meant enough to satisfy all proper wants and guard against contingencies. He believed every boy before him could be rich and ought to be rich. He cited John Jacob Astor, who founded the great Astor Library, as an example of a poor boy who had by industry and honesty succeeded iu life, it was honesty and industry, said Mr. Greeley, that gave Astor his success, and it is the patient, plodding, careful, industrious men that succeed. Stephen Girard, who by his great wealth left a noble college to the country, was another example of industry and perseverance. He advised the boys to begin by saving ten cents, and adding as often as’ possible, and the boy whoshould save $ 100 by the time he was 21 years oro' would pretty surely be a rich man. He told the boys men got rich by doing right, and not by doing wrong. Men who sold rum or kept gambling houses didn’t often get rich, and none of them were ever able to found a library like Mr. Astor, or endow a college like Girard. He believed one thing essential in getting rich was to be an honest man. The most of the men who had become rich since he had been in New York were honest. Ail the thieves in New York had never acquired as much wealth as John Jacob Astor. Evil causes did not lead to wealth, although they might seem to do so. Another thing necessary in order to get rich was to be temperate. He had known many men with great •abilities and riue prospects to fail because of intemperance.— If they resolve to oe rich they must stop drinking, or if they had not commenced, they must not begin. They ought also to resolve to be industrious, and when resolv ed on that, make up their minds to learn a trade. Mr. Greeley spoke at length on the evils of being without a trade, and related his own experience and his satisfaction at having followed out an impulse which he formed at ten years of age, to be a printer. He would have every boy before him either learn a trade or become a farmer. He com menced farming as a healthy and honorable employment, saying that if he could have his life to live over again he would be a farmer. He concluded by speaking of the great opportunities afforded in this coun try for young men, and especially for far mers, under the homestead law and, urged the boys to resolve to embrace these oppor tunities, and while they sought to live in accordance with the moral teachings they received,’to gain riches and honor, and true manhood. A Washington letter says : An accomplished, educated colored man, employee of the House of Representatives, says: “ I shall take my wife and daughters to the first Grant reception at the White House, and the question to be set tled is whether these two opposite social ingre dieats will chemically mix.” [For the Conatitationatiat. Messrs. Editors : On a visit to Charleston, where I have uot been since the Winter of 1867, 1 was agreeably impressed with the decided improvement in the appearance of the city. Every body seemed more hopeful. Amongst the drygoods houses, the grocers and the retail stores, new life was apparent and the hotels were full of strange faces as well as those we were wont to meet of old. Amongst other marks of revival we noticed the erection of new and extensive buildings for the manufacture of fertilizers the famous deposit of phosphates iu the neighborhood of the city. It was our good fortune to meet with friends who took us to ths mines of the Waudo Company, about one afd ajiali hours ride trom Charleston, and rtfh surprised to see how extensively this corn--, pany were digging. They have a large force , working aud depositing the phosphate nton their wharf, Jt is Shipped to tleir factory or locoed oh vessels for foreign ports. The situation is charming—the deposit very rich and valuable. • We were also pleased, upon visiting their Aorks, at the East end of Hasel street, in tba city, to flud a large and extensive building, am ple machinery, and a steady daily supply offhe manufactured article of from 35 to 45 ton*- This manure, we learn, was used last,y ar throughout, the State and North Carolio* and Georgia, and gave the most lavorable reaiu*. Several of the planters and farmers assi ,re “ mu that it was quite equal to Peruvian Guano oa cotton, corn and the products of th« market farm, and one was quite enthusiastic in its praise for cotton 3nd potatoes. lain happy to find that in ou r midst are springing up these sources of wealth, which will give us honest home raa>" jrej - We commend the WaUdr Fertilizer to every mau interested in his crops, ana are happy to seo that they arc barely able to sup ply their order’s* -7 found that they also ground up large qualities of pure phosphate as fine as flour, and said lo be an admirable article for composing with stable manure. The streets of the old city are much improv ed, aud the colored people more busy and thrifty lookiug, autLin fact we were led to the conclusion that our old favorite was again on the road to prosperity. N. Augusta, Ga., February 16,1869. The Glorious West. SHOCKING CONDITION OF THE AMERICAN BAR BARIANS OF THE PLAINS. The following amusing hurlesques of the style of journalism prevalent in the far West were copied recently into au English paper, with severe comments upon the shocking con dition of the American barbarians of the Plains : “ A little bit of romance has just transpired lo relieve the monotony of onr metropolitan life. Old Sam Ohoggins, whom the editor of this paper lias so often publicly thrashed, has returned from Mud Springs with a young wile, lie is said to be very fond ol her, and the way he came to get her was this : St me time ago we courted her, bat finding she was on the make, threw her off alter shooting her brother and two cousins. She vowed revenge, aud promis ed to marry any man who “would horsewhip us. This Sam agreed to undertake, and she married him on that promise. We shall call on Sam to morrow with our new shot-gun, and present our congratulations in the usual form.” I Hangloxon Gibbet. “ A stranger wearing a stovepipe hat and a botled shirt arrived in town yesterday, and put tip at the Nugget House. The boys are having a good lime with that, hat this morning. The funeral will take place at 3 o’clock. Dog Rauclie is unhealthy lor swells.” [ Dog Ranclie Weekly Howl. “ A painful accident occurred in Frog Gulch yesterday, which has cast a wet blanket of gloom over a hitherto joyous, whisky-loving community. Dave Spigger—or, as tie was fa miliarly called, Murderer Dave—got drunk at his usual hour yesterday, and, as is his custom, took down his gun, and started after the fellow who went home with his girl the night before. He found him at breakfast witli bis wife and thirteen children. After killing them, he start ed out to return, but being weary stumbled and broke his leg. Dr. Bill found him in that condition, and, having no wagon at band to convey him to town, shot him to put him out of the misery. Dave was dearly loved by all who knew him, and his loss is a Democratic gain. He never disagreed with any but Demo crats, and would have materially reduced the vote of that party had he not been so untimely cut off.” Siskiyou Knock-Down. “ A child of Wtdsky Ben had an ulteication witli the Methodist preacher over at Michigan Gully, last Sunday, and ended the discussion by caving in his abolition bead.

We consider him an jruffoster, seeking admission into society above ilia level, and hope people will stop inviting him to their houses.” — Frog Spring Herald. Religious Worship in a Theatre, and the Preacher Hissed.—A Washington cor respondent writes of the religious observances on the 22d, and says : The National Theatre to-night was turned into a place of worship. Instead of the Can can, with its immoral suggestions, which had possession of the boards the other six nights of the week, there was a highly respectable and pious audience to listen to a discourse from the Rev. Wm. H. Sharman, on “ The New Re formation.” Every seat in the theatre was oc cupied, and the services went on very smooth ly, until a portiou of the discourse, where the preacher alluded to the “ man who had his trunk packed for Tennessee”—au allusion to President Johnson—which was received by hisses by the audience. The preacher, however, instead of taking this as a hint, be came quite excised, quit exclaimed that he, for one, wanted to enter his solemn protest against the indiscriminate use of the pardoning power, as exhibited in the ease of Dempsey, yesterday, who was relieved from sentence by President Johnson, although Judge Fisher had declared he had been over-lenient. This led to quite a scene. More than half the audience stood tip and hissed for some minutes, after which they left the theatre, and the preacher was allowed to continue his*discourse. Mr. Sharman is an F.iiglish preacher, and the au dience were more incensed on that account, re marking that the thing would have been bad enough from a native, but from a foreigner it was intolerable. Purim.—Ou yesterday, the 14th day of Adar, occurred the Jewis Festival of Purjm, which .the Israelites all over the universe celebrate in commemoration of the deliverance ot their na tion by Mordecal, from the plots and plans formed by the Hainan, the Prime Minister ot King Ahasuerns. In former years it was eele haated by the Jews in prayers of thanksgiving and charities, and by the reading of the Book of Esther and other appropriate ceremonies at their synagogues, but in later years, inadditiOQ to the same, the younger Israelites make mu tual visits to their friends. The chief event ot the day was, however, the grand Bal Ma-que, which took place at the South Carolina Hall, given by Dan Lodge, for tin* bencffWii'jte Widow’s Fund.

The dedication of the magnificent Church of our Lady ot Mercy, in Brooklyn, was the occa sion ot bringing together the elite of the Catho lic population of that city. The new edifice is on Dohevois street, between Lafayette street and DeKalh avenue, and has been erected at a cost of about SBO,OOO. It is one ot the hand somest houses of religious worship on Long Island, and for bennty of design and the ornate finish ot its interior it has few superiors even in New York. Its frontage on Dohevois street is 70 feet, and its depth, parallel with DeKalb street, is 128 feet. Fnlly 2,000 people can be comfortably seated in it. A wild woman who was captured from the Indians on the plains, was brought into Jeffer son City, Missouri, on the 18th instant, by a detachment of the sth United States infantry. She was hall clad and nearly demented, and could give no account of herself further than that her name was Sarah Griffin, and that she came from Ireland. It is supposed that Bhe was carried off many years ago by the savages and has lost her reason by ill treatment. The seventeen standard places of amusement in New York city employ 2,020 persons.
