OPINIONS OF THE PEESS.
* * In our opinion The Southern Field and
Fireside is the best family newspaper in ttie
United States, and as good as any in the world.
Something to suit all ages, classes and occu
pations, is always to be found in its columns.—
[Banner, Dadeville, Ala.
Among all. the literary men in the country,
we know of none better fitted to take charge of
such a journal as the Field and Fireside, than
Mr. Thompson. He has been for years editor
of the Southern Literary Messenger, and has
proved himself eminently capable—a gentleman
of fine" taste, of genial feeling, and of a noble
heart. Under his management we expect the
Field and Fireside to be the very best literary
and family journal in the land.— [Telescope.
Ihio West, S. C.
We have always believed that a good literary
paper with the proper basis (capital) could be
sustained here in the South as well as any
where else. Such seems to be the fact with re
gard to the Field and Fireside. Mr. Gardner
has employed the best talent as editors and
contributors, and the consequence is the paper
is a complete success. We are truly proud that
Georgia can boast of such a paper; and we
think the people of the “ Empire State ” ought
to feel a just pride in giving it tlioir hearty and j
cordial support, and thus patronise home indus- i
try and capital.— [Reporter, LaGrangc, Ga.
There is no better family newspaper publish
ed iu the United States than the Southern Field ]
and Fireside. If the Southern peoplo really
want to encourage tlieir own literature, and
shut out tho pretentious and polluted streams
from Northern cities that vitiate tho taste and
enfeoble tho mind, now is their opportunity.—
We arc glad to know that in tho caso of this
Georgia enterprise they arc showing their sin
cority nnd sound judgment, and that it is having
n run equal to its great deserts. Mr. Gardner
is a gentleman who possesses all the requisites
of intellect, social position and capital, to give,
success to his journal, and ho has enlisted in it
some of tho best talent of the South. The pa
per is issued every Saturday at two dollars a
year, and is beautifully printed on a large quar
to sheet of eight pages—forty columns. Wo
feel that we nro doing tho Virginia public a
sorvice in bringing this sterling periodical to
thoir notice, and that after reading it, tlioy will
thank us for making them acquainted with it.
— [Dispatch, Richmond, Va.
* * This journal continues its high and no
blo purpose of elevating tho character of south
ern literature, and of affording a home supply for
the literary wants of the South which havo here
tofore been compelled to seek for satisfaction in
tho marketof the North. Wo always welcome
its appearance.— [Journal, Charlotte, N. C.
The Field and Firosido is in our opinion one
of the best literary publications in the country,
and tho fact of its boing published iu the South
should stimulate our people not only re patron
ise it themselves, but to exert their ir.te.ienee to
induce others to subscribe for it. Ttu» enter
prising proprietor lias expended a fabulous
amount (for a southern publisher) to meet ti p,
wants of our people.— [Gazette, Chattanooga
Tennessee.
• A largo and most excellent literary nnd agri
cultural weekly newspaper, published by Jas.
Gardner, at Augusta, Ga., —established for tho
noble purpose of elevating the character of
Southern literature. It is a patriotic work ; and
let every man whoso patriotism can bo made to
raise ns high ns 1 two dollars,’ forthwith nnd im
mediately cmloso that amount to Mr. James
Gardner, Augusta, for which ho will send The
Field and Firosido onoyoar. Doit.— [Old Line
Democrat, Little Rock, Arkansas.
It is one of tho nentost printed papers in the
wliolfe country, north or south. The objects of
the Field aud Fireside boing to refine, to enliven
and to instruct in literature, and to shed the
light of agricultural science upon the waste and
desert places of the South, we most heartily
commend it to tho patronage of our readers.—
l Whig, Vicksburg, Miss.
Thero is no jourual published, which wo
would direct attention to more willingly than
the Field and Firosido. It is only necessary, and
tho times never heretofore inoro seriously sug
gOßted it, for tho people of the south to give en
couragement to her journals, to promote the
resnits that are now witnessed in the north, in
regard to the publication of magazines and pe
riodicals of overy character. Wo earnestly re
commend The Field and Firosido as a journal of
great excellence, nnd will add, when about to
support northern literary papers, the reader
would find in this papor as ably conducted aud
as interesting a periodical as is now published.—
[Republic, Quincy, Fla.
This interesting weekly is always a welcomo
visitor to Texan firesides. It always has some
thing amusing, instructing, and interesting in
it; nnd then, another thing, it is published in
the South.— [New Era, Henderson, Texas.
One of tho leading periodicals of the day, it
is regarded among our most valuable exchanges.
Wo trust it will receive the largo patronage it
so richly deserves.— [Union, Warrensburg. Mo.
We commend to our readers The Southern
Field and Fireside as a literary journal, edited
with considerable ability, catholic and pure in
taste, always filled with a variety of agreeable,
well-written nnd instructive articles in the va
rious departments to which it is devoted. Its
typographical appearance is creditable to South
ern enterprise, and the subscription price is very
moderate.— [Bulletin, New Orleans, La.
It is tho duty of every Southern man to en
courage home talent and homo enterprise.—
Southern papers, of merit, should he patronised
and upheld by the people of the south, in pref
erence to journals at tho north, nearly all of
which are more or less inimical to us and onr
institutions. Tho Southern Field and Fireside
is one of the best literary papers of the country,
and is, besides, made up of contributions from'
tho best writers'of the South.— [Democrat,
Helena, Arkansas.
V e confess that we feel a deep interest in tho
success of this eminently southern journal, and
aro rejoiced to learn that its subscription list is
constantly being increased. Every intelligent
man ought to subscribe for this paper, and no
better time than now. Wo see that tho propri
etor designs still further to add to the excel
lencies of this journal, and that Mr. John R.
Thompson who is well known to literary men
as the distinguished editor of the Southern Lit
.erary Messenger, will become editorially con
nected with The Southern Field and Fireside
npon the commencement of the second volume
We hope this excellent journal mav go on ex
tending in usefulness, until it shall attain a
Circulation satisfactory to its warmest friends.—
[Star op the South, Elberton, Ga
EKE SQtfEKEEK EXEEE ID EIEEEiSE.
The labor and expense of establishing such !
a paper was willingly undertaken by James j
Gardner, Esq., of Augusta, who, deeming the
wants of the South inadequately supplied by
journals of this character, risked the chances and
has clearly won the prize, in this effort. As a
vehicle for the family literature of the day, for
chaste and instructive literature, such literature
as no Southern lady will hesitate to place in the
hands of her child, it is unsurpassed. If it
docs not supplant the trash that floods this coun
try from the North, we shall have erred in our
estimate of its value. The best guaranty that
can be given for its course, rests in the fact that
it is watched over by one who has served too
long an apprenticeship to the wants of thousands
of readers, not to know what is needed. We
are rejoiced to know that its success is steady
and assured, and no exchange. do we welcome
more cordially than that of The" Southern Field
and Fireside.— [Express, Savannah, Ga.
This is an Agricultural and Literary paper
combined. Is published weekly in quarto form,
and is as ably edited as any paper we know of,
north or south: aod, being a southern enter
prise, should receive a large patronage from our
people in preference to the New York Ledger,
the greatest humbug of the age, or in preference
to the abolition sheets of New York and Phila
delphia, who at best only furnish a yellow-back
Literature, unfit to he read by our sons and j
daughters.— [Cherokee Baitist, Rome, Ga.
We can testify cordially to the superior excel- I
lenee of its weekly Letter from Paris. The j
writer takes hold of the political questions of
Europe as though ho had thoroughly studied his
subject, aud his letters keep us well posted up
on the complicated changes that aro taking place
on that continent, * * Mr. Jno. R.
Thompson, of Richmond, Va., will take editorial
control of the paper. He comes highly recom
mended as a finished scholar, and an elegant
writer—a literary man in tho strict and best
senso of the term. A poet himself, of no ordi
nary merit, he possesses, in an eminent degree,
the refined and chastened taste, and those pow
ers of nice discrimination, quick, correct appre
ciation. and facile expression, so necessary in
tho conductor of a paper that ministers to the
intellectual wants of a community, and which
aspires to become its literary guide, and the
favorite organ of its development. Mr. Thomp
son's literary standard is very high. He is a
critic of practiced and rare ability, thoroughly
imbued witli reverence for Literature, and an
abiding sense of the dignity of his profession as
a literary man.— [South. Christian Advocate,
Charleston, S. C.
We regret to lose Mr. Thompson from Vir
ginia. We regret to lose him from his editorial
chair (Literary Messanger), not only because of
his rare literary ability, but also because of the
high moral tone which lie has always given to
this magazine. Wo can recall no instance in
which his editorial stand, on every moral and
religious question, has not been everything that
a Christian could desire, and in which he has not
scourged with an unsparing baud everything
detrimental to good morals and imro religion.—
This high stand is so rare among literary men,
se many of whbra ore fond of aping an affected
scepticism, when they have utA an unaffected
one, that his example has been a refreshing con
trast to very many of them. We send with him
our most cordial wishes for his success in this
new field, and our hopo that he may do much
thero for tho cause of southern literature and
morals. As he is rising in reputation every
year as a lecturer, we hope often to welcome
him in that capacity to his native city, and to
enjoy such treats us wo were lately permitted
to do in listening to his most admirable lecture
on Edgar A. l’oe.— [Central Presbyterian,
Richmond, Va.
Really more roadablo and valuable than any
papor of a similar character published in the non
slavcholding States. It is large, wolkprinted,
filled-with interesting matter, and is thoroughly
devoted to Southern institutions. Let us sup
port our own literature.— [Standard, Raleigh,
North Carolina.
An excellent weekly. It is as neatly printed
as any northern publication, and contains much
more valuable matter than any wo have ever
seen.— [Advocate, Asheville, N. C.
This most valuable paper should have a wel
come in every house. It is a largo double-sheet
and is worth fifty Now York Ledgers and five
hundred such as Harper’s Weekly, or any other
northern humbug, it is printed iu a Southern
city, edited by Southern geutlemeu, and is de
voted to Southern interests.— [Pioneer, Blounts
villc, Ala.
As a literary nnd agricultural journal, it is
fully equal in point of ability andiuterest to the
best northern publications, and wo think it the
duty of the South to support it. Some of the
best writers in tho country aro among the con
tributors to its columns, and its literary, agri
cultural and horticultural departments are most
ably filled. To the Southern people we can but
commend The Field and Fireside as eminently
wurthy of their confidence, and one which they
should take pride in sustaining. It is elegantly
printed on beautiful white paper, at only two
dollars per annunyn advance, and those who
take it will find that they will get their money
back three times over.— [Times, Decatur, Ala.
It is truly a Southern journal, and when sJth
men as Judge Longstreet and a host of other
able intellects are enlisted os contributors, it
cauuul but succeed. We cheerfully recommend
this paper to our readers.— [South. Herald, ,
Holly Springs, Miss.
Every issue becomes, to us, more attractive
and interesting. We speak loudly of non-inter
course with Northern abolitionists, yet we con
tinue to contribute thousands of dollars aunually
to northern publications, and thus sustain the
very men who are our most bitter enemies.—
Let us at once change our tactics in this particu
lar. if nothing else; and instead, let us build up
such meritorious sheets as The Field and Fire
side, which, houestly speaking, will compare
favorably with any of the northern weeklies.—
[Advertiser, Edgefield, S. C.
The Field and Fireside is honestly and can
didly a deserving paper. It is worth—dismiss
ing all partial feeling wo may have for its nativ
ity—more than double the amount charged for
northern papers somewhat similar in appear
ance and arrangement, though totally different
in material. Every man, woman or child in the
south, who now take the Ledger, Mercury, Har
per’s Weekly, Frank Leslie and like papers,
should immediately discontinue them, and in
stead of sending their money north to encourage
and enrich their traducers, turn it in a contrary
direction to Augusta, and build up at home a
literary paper which even now, in its infancy,
can successfully compete in appearance and mat
ter with the very best of its northern competi
tors.— [Herald, Wilmington, N. C.
The Field aud Fireside, a weekly literary pa
per, published at Augusta, Ga., is so far supe
rior to Bonner’s Ledger, that they ought not to
be mentioned in the sanio day.— [Crescent,
New Orleans, La.

THE SUMMER APPLICATION
OF
HARES’ NITROGEN IZED
SUPER PHOSPHATE OF LIME.
GREAT SUCCESS!
TIIE best method of applying a fertilizer in order to
secure the largest crop of any description, is effect
ed by mixing the entire quantity with twice its bulk of
earth as a divisor,moistening it before use, and applying
one-third of the mixture at the time of planting, one
third at the first hoeing, and the remainder at ths second
hoeing. By this method one-third greater results are
secured. The crop is also hastened to maturity before
frost by a summer application. Planters are therefore
advised to apply, Mapes' Super-Phosphate during the
growth of the crop.
In every case heard from, where this fertilizer has been
used in this State this spring. Its effects are found to be
far before all others. The appearance of a crop, where
it has been teste t compa*al! vely with many other kinds,
is so decisive in its favor, that numerous planters have
renewed their orders, purchasing in largely increased
quantities forsummer use.

NOTICE TO FARMERS & PLANTERS.
THERE is great demand for a strong and permanent
u Fertilizer,” and experience of late years L a prov
en the inefficiency of imported manures for securing
crops and renovating soils. To meet the wants of the
times, and give to exhausted lands oFthe Atlantic and
Gulf countries, a superior fertilizer at moderate cost,
we have pleasure in calling attention to the valuable
compound made at the Highlands, New Jersey, and en
titled the “RATIONAL FERTILIZES,” suited to
staples of every section.
It is composed of fresh bones, finely ground, and thor
ough dissolved by Sulphuric Acid, thus affording food in
ready form for assimilation to plant With these as con
stituting the basis for Phosphate of Lime, are then also
commingled large proportions of Marine Fish, King
Grabs, and other Crustacea, yielding the properties Am
monia—as deposited by birds of the Guano Islands. To
prevent escape of this volatile element, a modicum of
Green Shell Marl is used. Bv virtue of this the ammonia
resulting from decomposed fish, is at once fixed and laid
dormant, till by natural process it is set free, and grad
ually absorbed by vegetation as it progresses, with
three important essentials, Potash and. Soda, as combined
with soluble Silica, are chemically manipulated, and the
entire mass is ultimately made fine, dry, and immediate
ly applicable to soil. The “National Fertilizer,” as
shown in Circulars, is 60 compounded by change of these
and other valued ingredients, as to be suited in diversi
ties to any particular staple of the United States. The
Company's Works and Fisheries are very extensive, and
though their enterprise is but recently started, they have
a large and growing trade. They manufacture one Fer
tilizer for the Cereal Grains, Cotton, Vegetables. Ac., and
another specifically for Tobacco, and another for Sugar
Cane; thus giving to plants those aliments peculiarly
adapted to them, and which, by rotation of crops, they
are known to extract constantly frefin the land. Analy
ses and certificates establish the results of this manure.
It is 80 percent less cost per ton than Peruvian Guano,
t{Ut requires heavier application as a sure and lasting ren
ovator. The National Fertilizer fulfils the two-fold ob
ject of being stimulant to grdwth, and invigorator to
soil.
Mode of use: broadcast sowing—drilling—or deposit

“THE IRREPRESSIBLE CONFLICT.**
rpHE ATLANTA SPOKE COMPANY is doing its
part in this fight. If Georgians particularly, and
citizens of adjoining States really feel what they say
about Southern independence ana self-sustaining effort,
now let them prove it. We have our works on Peach
tree Creek, five miles from the City of Atlanta, where
we put up, at the shortest notice, all sorts of Spokes,
from “Carry-log” to the smallest buggy size. Alt sizes
and descriptions of Hubs and Rims, as well as the Fin
ished Wheel. We not only have in our Works the la
test and best machinery now used in Northern factories,
but when we find that we lack a machine of perfect
adaptedness, we have a foreman of genius to invent it
Our “Rim-binder” is unequalled in the world. Our
stock now consists of 40,000 hickory Buggy Spokes,
a good supply of Carriage, Wagon, and Omnibus
Spokes, all of which are made of closely culled timber—
Hubs of red-elm. post-oak, and black-gum. and Rims of
second growth white oak, which, for really faithful jobs,
we regard as infinitely superior to any other whatever.
We make, also, ash and hickory Rims. Our Improved
Lathe will turn any shaped Spoke that may be ordered,
and if our customers wish any particular shape or pat
tern, they can have it Now if, with our virgin forests,
mild climate* cheap house-rent and full accessibility to
every section of country, we cannot manufacture os
good an article in our line and as cheap as can be had at
any Northern factory, why then go North, as many are
now doing, passing by our doors to reach the shop. But
if we save you nearly all your freight—give you as good
and fashionable a Carriage Wheel as you can possibly
get anywhere, had we not as well keep Southern money
here as to send it such a long way to help “John
Brown ?” If any active, business man, with capital,
would like to have an interest in this establishment,
proposals will be received for the sale of a half or third
interest. Address -

COTOOSA SPRINGS.
THE subscriber, having again taken a lease of this
well known Watering Place, justly famous as the
SARATOGA OF THE SOUTH,
and tfiankful for the patronage received last season, will
again be prepared to receive visitors by the middle of
June next, and will strive to merit a continuance of that
patronage which heretofore has been so liberally bes
towed upon this fashionable Summer Resort.
I shall endeavor at all times to provide my table with
all the attainable luxuries of the season, and have made
arrangements to keep on hand a constant supply of Ice.
I shall also have the best Cooks that can be procured
in the South, and shall provide a sufficiency of faithful
and attentive servants.
I have also engaged the services of superior Musicians,
and those who delight in the “concord of sweet sounds"
will be abundantly gratified.
The medicinal virtues of these many and varied Min
eral Waters are now too well known to require an exten
sive description. In addition to the RED, WHITE,
and BLACK SULPHUR SPRINGS, many of them
combined with Iron and Magnesia, there is an inexhaus
tible well of the purest Freestone. My accommodations
are very extensive. I have many pleasant Cottages
separate from the main Hotel, where families can be as
quiet and retired as in their own homes.
Cotoosa Springs are in Cotoosa county, Geo., two and
a quarter miles from the Western and Atlanta Railroad.
A fine Omnibus and good Hacks will be at the Platform
on the arrival of each train. The Springs have a direct
Railroad communication with Savannah, Charleston
Augusta, Macon, Milledgeville. Columbus, Atlanta’
Montgomery, Nashville, and Chattanooga.
