Wa-hinot n, December 4.
Our next Monday morning Congrewt will
asHCinble, acl, in anticipation of that
event, the Capital winch, for the past few
months has been d.sorted, is rapidly tilling
up again. The hotels an 1 boarding houses
begin to show -igm of life, and will bood
be crowded by the throng of -'ongresstnen,
lobbyists, <fv;, which is due here during
the session.
-Many metnb''r of the Senat > and also of
the Ilonsc have already arrived in the
city, but 1 don't think that a number suf
ficient for a quorum of either House is yet
present. The trains, however, on to mor
row and to-morrow night will be crowded
and the indications are that on Monday
morning a full quorum will bo on hand.
The message of [’resident Grant, ot the
Secretaries, of the various departments
und of the Commissioner ot In'croal Rev
enue arc all ready for tran-mission aasoou
as the two Houses are prepared for busi
ness. Contrary to custom the President’s
message will not be made public until de
livered to Congress. It is believed that he
will favor a rc.sunipt on ot specie payments
and the recognition ot thebelligent rig. its
of the Cuban insurgent-.
Among the most iiuoitant measures
that will be brought before Congress will
be the question ol a resumption of specie
payments. All the Congressmen hero are
in lavor of a resumption and at east two
thirds of the number have, in their pock
ets, to be presented to Congress, pitent
plans of tlicir own for bringing about the
desired result. No definite plan sc ms to
have been adopted as ynt by any consider
able number of members, as each man
desires the success of his own scheme.
General Sherman has his report ready
on the army affairs. Speaking of a re
duction of its strength, he earnestly ad
vises against the measure. He says that
in sonic portions of the .Southern country
a stato of anarchy Would at once ensue if
the United States troops now stationed
there should bo withdrawn by the Govern
ment.
The Congressional Committee on Ways
and Means have determined to report in
favor of materially reducing the duties
now levied upon imports. The duty on
tea they recommend to be reduced to
twenty eents per pound, and on coffee to
lour cents per pound. The indefatigable
members of the lobby have also been at
work upon this Committee, and have
given its members a most sumptuous din
ing party.
Cuban Spanish affairs will also claim a
large sham of Congressional attention. A
move will bo made early ia the session to
secure a recognition of belligerent rights of
the insurgents, and the friends of the
Cubans are hard at work horc. Any
quantity of petitions, with innumerable
signatures, will be presented, and an iui
iiisnse lobby is also forming here in the
interests of Cuba. The triends of the
island understand how to work on Con
gressmen, and bonds of the Republic of
Cuba are scattered about in the greatest
profusion. The Senat' Will bo the scone
of the great, contest on litis question.
Conkling, of New York, and Cameron, of
J’cnusylvania, will bo the leaders of the
recognition movement, assisted by the
outside influences of Bun. Wade. Charles
Sumner will head the other side, and is
now engaged in preparing a big speech in
opposition to the recognition of Cuban
rights- The whole thing will be a big
money job, and a large pile will bo realized
from it. *
When Congressional action is taken
Upon the finances, the indications now
point to the passago of a law authorizing
the inauguration ofa tree banking system
throughout the country. This system
will have lor its basis a lour per cent, con
solidated loan of funded debt.
The situation with regard to Georgia
does not seem to have undergone any
change. An attempt will bo made to ex
clude the mombers of Congress from that
State und Congressional interference with
the present State government demanded.
AttAlt.
TO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS,
I'l'iuu Virginia.
Richmond, December 4, noon.— Nation
al Board of Trade. The question of resump
tion of specie payment wa> resumed.
Ilastie, of Charleston, South Caruliua, did
not think this was the time for specie pay
ment. The South was not prepared for
it and it was to her cotton crop, he though,
that a resumption would at last be due.
It was better to wait for this crop and the
general commerce of the country to bring
the currency to a gold value, lie offered
a resolution to that effect.
Trevasant, of Memphis, followed in the
same lino of remark. He thought oonti
denoo in the government would restore
specie value.
Hopes, of Boston, stated that while
government bonds in the last four years
had all advanced above par, yet gold to
day was barely lower thau it was four years
ago, showing that, while confidence tn the
government raised the value of bou Is, it
did not permanently affect the price of
gold. Trevasant urged the postponement
of the matter until the next meeting of
the Board, or. at least, until Congress and
the President's message had been heard
Campbell, of Newark, New Jersey, gave
a history of E ngland’s attempts to resume
and her failures until 1823, and the panic
which followed, when eventually she did
resume by contract! n. No government
can legislate confidence into its promises
to pay ; its ability to pay is judged of by
the creditors, and it they are good busi
ness men titty will not force their tardy
credit -r into bankruptcy. All this govern
ment wants is time to pay its debt. The
marked decrease of the public debts in
the last six months shows this. Let cir
culation go on for two or four years without
contraction or expan' ; on and the govern
ment will Ik l in a condition to resume and
tuay then safely resume by making a gold
loan, which would make resumption easy as
well as certain By that time it would
have established such or dit in Europe by
reduction of its debt, that a gold loan
could be. obtained as low as lour per cent.
Mr. Holton, of Wisconsin, thought the
onlv way to get to constitutional money was
to’ get greenbacks out of the way. They
create an inflation which is, commercial
immorality, which can only be cured by a
return to legitimate currency. This re
turn would burst many of the swollen ones.
but it:was better that this should happen
than the Government should hold the
attitude it now does toward the world.
We had to suffer some shrinkage, and we
had as well suffer it now and get back to
healthy size.
Herbert, of Baltimore, uni not believe
we could resume specie payment lor the
next five years without destruction ot the
commercial interests of the country. He
believed o.t Opdykc s opinion that the
eouniry mast grow up to the circulation
and no; c < itract or expand it.
Cbitteudeu, e! New York, moved as a '
substitute for all the p’opositions that
Congress *>o asked t devise such modifi
cations of the banking system and mea
sures ifor suppression ol speculations in
gold as are calculated to restore the credit
aud honor of the Government, and pro
mote as speedy a return to specie payment
as is consistent with safety. He said the
utmost any body of private citizens could
do, was to impress on Congress the im
portance of acting cn this paramount in
terest of the country in preference to par -
tisan political measures of their own.
Cullen, of St. Louis, did not think this
matter ought to be referred to Congress a
body much less conversant with the sub
ject than this Bosrd, unless it is referred
with a recommendation as to the line of
poliey to be pursued.
Chittenden modified his resolution by
striking out allusion to suppression ot gold
speculation. He said he had been inform
ed that a distinguished member of Con
gress would introduce, early in the ses
sion, a bill to tax these speculations.
The whole subject was theu reterred to
a Committee of seven, to reportat this se : -
sion on all plans submitted. Committee
consists of Kirkland, of Baltimore; Chit
tendeD, of N#w York; Hopes, of Boston ,
| Richards, of Chi.ar< llu.' o, of \\ i
• cousin; Gasper, ot Cincinnati; id Has
tie, of Charleston.
The following propositions w-.re referred
to this Committee: By Parr, .! Baltimore,
opposing expansion of the currency ar.d
favoring legislation looking to com faction
and early redemption. By Grubb, of
Philadelphia, affirming that the esmb i-u
mcDt, by Government, of a chartered ti -
cs! head and regulator, combining private
capital and endowed with privileges sot
ficient, presents the surest remedy to pre
vent currency evils. By Herbert, ot Ba -
tituore, to abrogate the three fifths ti
credit balance reserves; to prohibit pay
ment of interest bv national banks of
creditor balances. To enforce redemption
of national bank notes so they may be sent
back to their localities tor reissue, and to
require reserves to be held in the respec
ive bank vaults in money and not in credit
j balances in other national banks at a dis
tance. and finally a repeal of the ten per
cent tax on the circulating issue of national
| banks-
Twenty Ninth proposition—asking Coa
gre.-.» to require all American vessels under
register, to carry one or more apprentices,
«o as to secure a supply of efficient officers
and seamen for our marine, was taken up
and [imposition adopted.
Committee on propositions relative to
Ohio and Mississippi rivers, reported rec
ommending that CoDgress make appro
priations for rendering navigation of the
Ohio and Mississ.ppi rivers free of obstruc
tion, especially est the De3 Moines aid
Rock Island Rapids; that bridges over
these rivers should lave one span over the
channel of four hundred feet long and
sufficiently high not to obstruct caviea
tion. That in bridges built over the Mis
sissippi above the mouth of the Missouri,
there shall be one span three hundred feet
long, and that the construction of the
piers of such bridges be superintended by
Government Engineers. The report was
received, to be called up in its turn.
Twentieth proposition—James River and
Kanawha Caual, was taken up with the re
port of the special committee on same,
which sets forth that the continuous line
ol water communication between the Mis
sissippi River and Atlantic seaboard is
imperatively needed. That the James
River and Kanawha Canal, if extended to
the Ohio, has special prominence, and
that in this work all private and corporate
proprietorship should be first removed;
then the government should grant aid ;
then after the Canal has paid back money
spent on it bv the General Government
ari 1 State '.of Virginia, it shall be tree -
the Cana! collecting on tolls sufficient for
its repair.
Monroe, of Dubuque, advocated the
report- lie showed that of twenty-five
million tons of Western produce there is
only transportation to the East for nine
teen millions. A water would bring this
way at .*6, sixty-five cents per ton less
than railroads can. This water line by
way of Virginia is open and free of ice
eleven months out of twelve in the year.
The cost of completing the present work to
the Ohio will bo toriy millions, which can
be done in tour years, and will pay interest
on tha cost and four millons over which
may be used as a rinSing fund.
Richmond, December 4, p. rn.—After
recess the Committee on the resumption
of specie payment was enlarged by the ad
dition of Grubb, of Philadelphia, Carring
ton,of Richmond, Taylor, of St. I’aui, and
Opdyke, of New York.
The debate on the water line was resum
ed. Mr. Carrington, President of the
James River and Kanawha Canal Works,
said: The scheme of its extension has
been approved by the most distinguished
government, and civil engineers in the
country. The only difficulty of magnitude
in its completion was tunneling Alleghany
Mountains, nine miles of which would
be done in four years. Virginia was wil
ling to rive up the work for a great free
national highway.
Robert W. Hughes, of Richmond, gave
a history of the inception of the Caual and
said Virginia, having given a magnificent
territory to the Union, now offers free
way and harbor for its commerce.
Walbridgc, of New York, advocated the
report. He thought the country to whom
Virginia had made a magnificent gift,
should not refuse her now that she asked
to be allowed to share in its prosperity,
and that the North, which had grown rich
by the war, should not hold back this help
from a State reduced to poverty and
which asked for nothing that she was not
willing to give something in return for.
It. was not Itogether a question of
profitable investment, but also one of
justice. Surely a great country can afford
this.
Helton, o! Milwaukie, opposed the re
port on the ground that the Stales and
not the Gouefa! Government should do the
work. Centralization was already threat
ening this country, and he wanted more
work done by the Slates.
Alter advocacy by Wetherill, of Phila
delphia; Trevesant, of Memphis; and
Jones, of lowa, the report and resolution
ot Mr. Monroe for memorializing Congress
to carry it iuto effect, were adopted, ayes
50; nayes 15. The vote was received with
loud applause.
A motion was adopted instructing the
Executive Council to suggest to Congress
putting the work of extending the canal in
the hands of trustees appointed one each
by the States ot Missouri, West Virginia,
Arkansas, Illinois, lowa, Ohio, Maryland,
lisdiaua, Wisoousin and Virginia, and one
by the General Government. After ac
cepting invitations of Norfolk and Peters
burg to visit these cities next Tuesday,
the Board adjourned till Monday.
JAHTHF.K FROM RICHMOND.
Richmond, December!, p. m.—At din
ner to-night, at the Exchange Hotel to the
Board ol Trade, three hundred persons
were present, including nearly every lead
ing citizen of Richmond. The toasts
commenced with oue to- -our country,
which was followed with music of the Star
Spangled Banner and Dixie, both of which
were loudly applauded.
The toast welcoming guests in the mime
of Virginia was replied to by Mr. Fraley,
of Philadelphia, President of the Board.
Ikospoke of the sad separation which had
occurred, but thanked God all was now
over, and the visitors felt that on the soil
of Virginia they stood among their coun
try meu.
The action of the Board to-day on the
water line to the Mi-s ssippi showed the
said feeling toward Virginia. It was the
desire to make her great, that animated
their breast. This visit would not only be
beneficial in a business point of view, but
iu a political. He had seen around nim
since his arival here, men in whose hands
he felt the future ot the country would
be safe. He thought the time would
come when the whole of this continent
would be one government under the Star
Spangled Banner. He felt that they had
been received here in a way that created a
feeling of brotherhood, which would never
die out. He proposed the sentiment of
“prosperity to the North, South, East
and West, and especially to the ( 'ity of
Richmond.”
Three cheers were given for Fraley at
the conclusion.
The toast to commerce and agriculture
replied to by Mr. Taylor, of St. Louis,
lie said Virginia bad laid an empire on
the altar of the Union to forward a pro
gressive nationality, and he was a citizen
of Wisconsin and a part of that national
ity. Virginians had planted monuments
, ot their industry and their virtue in every
State in the West. He predicted for Vir
l ginia a great future in agriculture and
commerce, She would go forward with
the country. Speaking of the vote on the
water liue to-day he said Virginians were
leaving States rights and eomiug heavily
; out tor centralization and consolidation.
■ |Great laughter.] He gave as a semi
rnant “The speedy completion of the
; Southern Pacific Railroad.”
Gen. Walbridgc,of New York, responded
to the toast : “Economy In public expen
ditures and strict accountability of public
agents." lie said that he who attempted
to prevent the restoration of Virginia to
: the Union was an enemy to his country
| continued applause] and he believed that
was the President’s opinion. He advocat
ed strict economy in pu*>li ■ expenditures.
Messrs. Wetherill, ol Philadelphia,
Cullen, of St. I*ouis, and others spoke in
reply to toasts.

COMMERCIAL.
GENERAL BUSlNESS—Business for the past week
has been fair, and we look for a large trade from now
until Christmas. The price of cotton has a tendency
to depress trade, as nearly all the planters are holding
back their cotton, and necessarily, they are not very
well supplied with money to invest in purchasing
supplies, and only buy for their immediate wants.
Bacon is in good demand, and prices have been well
maintained during the week. The demand for Corn
has been limited, but prices are firm. There is very
little old Corn on the market, and a great deal of the
new Corn offered is very damp and hardly fit for use.
No change to note iu Wheat. All the arrivals are
taken if ottered at prices to suit purchasers. Flour iu
lair demand. Oats dull, only a retail demand.

It is a I’Eli 11 LIZEIv made in Charleston, 1 rom the wonderful phonphatiodiscoveries
near that city, which have been pronounced by scientific men the most valuable as well
as the most remarkable deposit of the kind known in the world.
YVe ask a careful perusal of the following certificates selected from a large number of
an equally favorable character. Send for a pamphlet.
DIRECTIONS FOR TDK USB OF THE WAN DO FERTILIZER.
COTTON.
hroin 250 to 300 pounds iter acre—on the list-bedded or in drill with the seed.
CORN.
From 300 to 400 pounds per acre, 200 to 300 pounds in the hill at the time of planting,
and the balance when the crop is 21 to 3 feet high.
WHEAT.
Prepare the ground by deep plowing ami harrowing. Apply, broadcast with the
seed, about 300 pounds to the acre, and in the Spring from 100 to 200 pounds as a too
dressing. This will ensure a large yield.
POTATOES.
App’y the quantity designed for an acre iu the drill; 250 pounds has usually given
an increase of four to one-
VEGETABLES.
Compost always with stable manure or ioat mould 300 to4oo pounds per acre, in the
drill and uuder the seed.
/• J- Sartor, of Union District, S <!, by the use of two-horse plow and the
Wanda Fertilizer, has been enabled to gather from a portion of lands forty-three bush
els of wheat per acre i and from too average lands prepared .alike manner, he has har
vested twenty-six and a half bushels per acre. Mr. Sartor is a large farmer, and, as
shown by the above statements, is an enterprising and successful one. This is the
largest average yield of wheat we have ever heard of in this State.
.. . ... Black vi lle, S. C., October 28th, 1869.
Your favor of the 15th inst. is at hand, and, in reply, will give you the information
desired in regard to the Waudo Fertilizer. I put out, the Ist February, fifteen bush -
els compost manure to the aero, running a deep furrow, then ridged on it, and about
the Ist April ran a block over the ridge and applied 100 lbs to the acre, throwing with
good turn plow, two furrows; and on the 15th I threw out the balance of the middle,
and planted my cotton. 1 think with the compost it would have yielded 000 lbs seed
cotton to the acre. I got per acre, with the ‘Wando, 1,000 lbs seed cotton, which l
consider a short crop. The long drouth ami excessively hot weather cut' it of!' at least
one-fourth. I applied some on thin land, without anything else; that 1 gathered last
year 2501bs to the acre, and this year gather 500 lbs, which show an increase of 100
net- cent with the unfavorable seasons we have had. Used 100 lbs per acre on the thin
laud above. B. j. U AY .
BennettsVii.le, S. C., October 26th, 1860.
In reply to yours of 15th instant, it affords me pleasure to report, favorably on the
Wando Fertilizer, as to its merits as a manure for eatton. I tried it on two of my plau
tatious, side by-side with Peruvian Guano, both in equal quantity and equal qost, un
der cotton, on unmanured land. Where I used it, dollar for dollar 1 think the yield will
be twenty-five per cent more than the Peruvian Guano, and where I used pound for
pound l think the yield will be ton per cent more than the Peruvian Guano.
Z. A. Drake.
Herndon, Bdrke Cos., Ga., October 25th, 1869.
We bought, last Spring, two tons Wando Fertilizer, and used it, side by side with
Peruvian, No. 1, ami raw cotton seed, under the cotton crop along, the eye guiding
solely in in its distribution, without reference to quantity, upon old land, witli a deep
silicious bed from eighteen inches to two feet and cropped, with little regard to rotation
more than half a century. Without an active manure, will not produce, under the
most favorable seasons, more than 300 lbs of seed cotton, nor five bushels of corn per
acre. The results are entiiely satisfactory. The “ Wando" has yielded more than
Peruvian, and three times, the quantity of cotton seed, liberally applied as a fertilizer.
The present has been the most blighting and disastrous season known in this section
for thirty years, and concentrated fertilizers a failure, especially those not combining a
generous quantity of nitrogenous matter.
From the results of this crop we are satisfied the “ Wando ’ will prove a safe and
profitable fertilizer, and next year we shall prove “our faith by our works.”
J. H. & H. P. Jones, Junr.
Yorkvii.le, S. C., October 25th, 1869.
I used Wando on cotton the present year. I feel satisfied that I made 75 per cent
more cotton than I should have made without it. My crop sufiered very much for
rain. • P. B. Danin.
Greenville, S. C., October 13tli, 1869.
Applied 1 ton to 11 acres of old, worn-out, land (2 acres of which were in fruit frees);
the season, until July, was very wot and unseasonably cold, and succeeded by a very
severe drouth; replanted 8 acres of the 11, the stand being badly broken, on May 17th.
As the weather became warmer, and the plant seemed to have reached the manure,
which was drilled in quite deeply, the improvement in my crop became so remarkable
as to be noticed by all who chanced to sec it, assuming a deep green color, almost as
black as growing tobacco, and continued so until to-day, when wo had a heavy frost. I
am well pleased with the Wando, and will not in future plant a single row without it.
To test its results, I left a few rows unmanured, and they had but a few bolls arid
dwindling stalks. I think every man ought to use it to a large extent.
John Saxon.
Colleton Cos., July Ist, 1869.
Used the Wando Fertilizer in Cotton the past year. The growth was very fine and
the yield 35 bags Sea Island cotton on 60 acres. On turnips, applying 450 lbs to the
acre, the eize and yield were remarkably groat. T think the Wando A No. I—the best
manure I have ever used. H. W. Stewart.
Wright’s Bluff, Clarendon Cos., S. C., September 6th.
I used one bag of Wando to the acre. I also used Peruvian Guano. I consider the
Wando in money value equal in every respect to the Peruvian. 11. F. Tindal.
Frog Level, October 22d, 1869.
I used your Wando Fertilizer on cotton this Spring, by the side of Peruvian Guano
The Wando caused the plant to grow off ahead of the Guano, gave it a better color and
matured it earlier. lam now using your Fertilizer under wheat aod oafs in preference
to Peruvian Guano, arid so soon as they are gathered will give you the result.
Mathias Wicker.
Sumter Cos., October 23d, 1869.
I used about 1 sack (167 lbs.,) per acre, and in the same field planted a lew rows with
Peruvian Guano, estimating as nearly as 1 could judge the quantity in the ratio of its
cost. It grew finely-and did well until the drouth and extreme hot weather set in. I
am satisfied in my own mind that the Wand > Fertilizer (equalizing cost), is in all re
spects equal to Peruvian Guano. Matthew P. Maxes.
We are authorized by Mr. Johnß. Dukes, Presi
dent of the Wando Mining and Manufacturing-
