Nov. 27th, 185A. Massachusetts Right Side lp. This old Federal, Abolition, Hart ford. Convention State lias nobly vindi cated her ancient renown. Never, since the davs of bu.rnin?; witches, has she more faithfully displayed her true character. It is said by one ot the letter writers that “the Know Noth ings have made a clean sweep of the S»atc high and dry,’—another that • - :t is conceded on all sides that .the Know Nothings have made a clean sweep of the State.” 1 hey have car ried the election .of Governor, mem bers of Congress, and Legislature of the State. It is believed that the Go vernor, members of Congress, and nearlv all the members of the Legisla ture are Abolitionists, Freesoilers, and Anti-Nebraska men. This is the State and these are people, from whom it ‘'osts the United Suites, twenty-seven thousand dollars to return a slave to his master in Virginia. These are the people who murder their- own white citizens for attempting to execute the laws of the United States in behalf of the Constitutional rights of Southern men —the people-who require the mil itarv and naval power of the United States to be put in full force lo compel the execution of the laws for the pro tection of Southern rights, and to'pro tect the personal safety of Southern men in the civil pursuit of their law ful rights—the people who settle all the secret business of the Know Noth jin«r Order, and among whom, it is said, the headquarters and seat of power of -this new politico-religious Order abide. These people are in the greatest glee, end most lustily rejoice over the fallen advocates of the Constitution, law, and urder. The very halls in which it was proek.’mcd in the war with Great Britain, that it was sinful and unbe coming a good religious people (as they were) to rejoice at th^victories of the American arms over the English arid savage forces on our exposed bor ders, now resound with rejoicings over the choice of men to office who will resist the Constitutional right of the ,Southern people by every unlawful means in their power! In New York the poor Know Noth ings were deceived by the leading Whigs a few days before the election, (under an order from Francis Granger, to the effect that Whigs must stand to their arms, —letting the Know Noth ings come to them, and not they go to the Know Nothings,) gild suffered a great defeat. But it so turned out that $9 J£now Nothings carried, through % ciolrrliln JournaU-jpcliotcii to f itcnitiire, politics, anti ©rural Mistellituii. twei,ty-ti've Whigs, and the \\ higs carried through two Know Nothings for Congress ?■ Thus defeated and ir ritated, a portion of them resolved that if they coiminot carry the elec tions their own wajVthey could burn a Catholic church ; an*l accordingly, at Williamsburg, one of chy suburbs of New York city, they mad\the attempt, find went so far ms to stave in the door, but the activity of the military and police saved the church from the threat ened flames. On Friday last a parcel of irish Catholics, exasperated atuhe conduct of the rioters the night previ ous, determined to retaliate by tearing down the Methodist church in North Fif.h .strict. The Mayor, Ij <>wevcr, having had timely notice of their de signs, ordered out a regiment of mili tia and a large police force, and arrest ed the movement. lie stationed a strong military force at several ot th Catholic and Protestant churches to protect them from destruction. Thus the houses of Cod are protected by the military power! In the course oi the lirst nights of riot, a number ol persons were wounded—some proba bly mortally. We trust for the credit of the South, that the Southern Know Nothings will secede freffn the Chu.eh burning and Abolition branches ol the Order. Q. Z. X. Jealousy. In order to beget hatred it only seems necessary that two men should start in the same path. They may be friends at lirst, but in a very short lime afterwards we are sure to find them foes, the success of the one being gall and wormwood to the other. Bo you doubt this? Then look round you. Wiio are the most unmerciful critics of the works of art? Who tomahawk incipient poets?—Poetasters. Moot but a point on theology, and you have straigniway reverend doctors abusing cucii other with a heartlessness that would do credit to Billingsgate, and indicating in no disguised language the future destination of their com peers. Let a medical practitioner start anew theory, and his brothers are down upon him. He is a quack —a rogue —an ass —an imposter. Even though the life of a patient be at stake they scorn to hold consultation with one who is a disgrace to his order. Better that Mrs. Jones should die un aided than the noble faculty should be profaned. Furnish rival tragedians with real Andrae Ferrara—let them tight it out in the last act of Macbeth, and to a moral certainty one of them wnl be pinked or hideously slashed. Bid you ever know a reigning beauty who looked kindly only anew debu tante? If such a spectacle ever was seen, you may be sure that there was a mortal venom beneath the smile. Men say that lawyers, as being con stantly pitted against each other, are the least jealous of all the profession als, but we have heard of such things as systematic snubbing from the se niors. An early chapter in the book of Genesis is suggestive of the reason. The first murder arose from hatred engendered by jealousy, and at the present it is as active and vigorous as ever.— Blackwood's Magazine. A Democratic Parrot. Mr. Editor: —Among the selec tions in your paper of bust week, I noticed an account of “A Mischievous Parrot. ” That account has served to revive the recollection of mv “Poor Poll,” long since deceased. Poor fel low ! he was a warm politician, and withal a sound one; for lie was a thor ough-going Jackson Democrat. In the year 1828, we occupied an oliiee m common in the county of Nottoway, Va. Politics, you may remember, ran very high at that period. The con test was between tariff and no tariff; Jackson and Adams. Nottowav was, at that time, the banner county of de mocracy in the “ Old Dominion.” There were but two Adams men to lit found among the von rs in the whole county. The most staunch Adamsite of the tw.o was a venerable old Major M . On a certain (lay a number of gent emeu were sitting chatting in our office, when old Major M step ped in. “Poll” turned towards the door, and as soon as he recognised the old Major, shouted exultingiy, to the no small merriment of the company, “Hurra for Jackson ! Hurra for Jack son !” and then, most provoking])-, joined in the laugh excited at the Ma jor’s expense, “ Hadia-ha! Ha-ha-ha!” Was not that' too bad, to be defeated, then laughed at by a Parrot? —Albany Patriot. Swift was-one day in company with a young coxcomb, who rose with some conceited gesticulation, and with a con fident <rr, said, “f would have you to know,Mr. Dean, I set up for a wit.” “Do you, indeed?” sard Swift, “then take my advice and sit down again.” “WITHOUT UJEkMR, I\iVOU OH JiFTJECTMO»Ii % ” EATON i'OX, GA., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1854. The know Nothings in Ohio —-Their Prospects lor tue Presidency* The delegates who met on Wednes day at. Cincinnati, to transact the busi ness ot the Native American Or der and elect a chief for the w hole Union had a perilous task to perform. There never was a party which stood more in need ol prudence and circum spection. It rests with the leaders ol the new body to decide whether the work begun in so triumphant a man ner shall be successfully carried oui, or lgnomiuiousiy abandoned. No party ever enjoy ill more brilliant pros pects. The couhthss victories won during the past year, happily capped by llie sweeping vote in Massachusetts and the scarcely less sigmiieaut defeat in New 1 oik, indicate out too plainly that the sympathies ol the bulk of tiie people oi the Lulled Abates are with Uic movement, lienee one of the chief dangers which menace the young party : toe danger ot uver-sanguiue conniiehee. it inc native leaders im agine that the popularity of their prin ciples absolve J them from all obliga tions ol eau fulness and discretion, a terrible disappointment is m store tor them, ll Lucy hit icy that, because tln-y have Slates aim cities, the leaders can now saieiy venture on imitating the old parties and parcelling out the votes oi the American people ill pri vate* caucuses and uole-auti-corner con ventions, they are laboring under a most fatal uelusion. Noi. the least among the causes ol tiie rum ol the old whig and democratic parlies was the corruption introduced uy tiie caucus ana convention system. Bet the natives lake warning, ana, m all they do, avoid the i’auuest suspicion of under hand wire-pulling, or corrupt b;rg till ing for spoils among their leaders.— Let the men they intend to bring toi wurd for the -Presidency be lainy and openly marshalled belore the public su that every American may have a chance of deciding according to the best of his judgement who is tiie lit lest man to rule the country. Witn caution, prudence and skill, the na tive party are sure of a brilliant and successful career. They can carry all the local elections next year; and with the aid of the thousands of democrats whom Pierce’s administration has dis gusted with the old democratic party, and who are now looking round lor a new platform and new principles, they can as certainly elect a President in 1856. Nor need their mission end Inn *. A’ltli prudent management, they' may nold power for many yarns lo et m , on the basis oi devotion lo American interests and hospitality to the corrup tion and trickery of tiie o and parlies.— It rests with the chiels of the Know - Nothings to secure for their party this glorious career. Calmly examined, there is nothing whatever in the native creed that wears a narrow or sectarian character: nothing of which a liberal large-heart ed man need feel ashamed. For nearly half a century after the adoption of the constitution foreigners were wel comed to our shores : we gave them work, land, food and clothing, and only asked of them in return that they should conform to our laws and help advance the country. For near ly thirty years alter the enactment ot our present situralization laws, we cheerfully granted them, after a resi dence of live years, political priveleges scarcely inferior to our own. Though many of them had not in that period oi time'either learnt our language or be come familiar with our institutions, and though hardly any had possessed political rights in tlieir own country, we, raised them to an equality with our selves in the govennent, and shared with them the sovereign power. It was a perilous experiment to make ; but we risked it, relying on the good behavior and common sense of the stangers, and expecting that, m return for so great a boon, they Mould strain every nerve to evince their gratitude and good citizenship. For some thir ty years, as was said, the arrangement iahtul on this looting without! com plaints on cither side. Tin Irish and Germans forbore to render themselves conspicuous by riotous or disorderly conduct; and, so far as they could, amalgamated with their native-born neighbors. But a change was at hand An intriguing politician, now a United States Senator, tiie lion. William 11. Seward, seeking to raise himself to power bv the favor of local and sec tional agitations, bethought himself oi using the foreigners, and marshalling them in seperale cliques distinguished by their original and cast off mitioind iiies. He it was who lirst seduced Archbishop Hughes from his pulpit and his altar and persuaded him to ad dress an Irish meeting at Carroll Hall, surrounded by grog-shop politicians.— This drew the line between Irish men and Americans. A. large por tion of the former, it is true, resisted the insidious advice of the political in triguer, and steadfastly refused to iden tify themselves with the erection of a special Irish party. But others led away by the prospect of inordinate in -11 uence, jumped at the idea of belong ing to two,nations at once, and preserv ing all thejnejudio s, the habits and the names‘of irishmen while they en joyed all tho rights of American#.— They liked being courted specially as irishmen for their vote ; and haying never dreamt of the smallest political rights at home, relished the notion ot making free American citizens cringe belore them and, humbly solicit their support. From the day the Irish were thus organized as a seperate race in America, voting on principles of their own, and having apparently no principles or feelings m common with tiie American masses —a native reac tion was inevitable. Seward saiv it not, as tie went to mass, and encourag ed the formation of Irish societies and German bunds : nor did his imitators, who. seeing his success, used the same i Hurts in other States to invest the for eigners with a lictitous importance and array them in antagonism to the na tives, suspect that a revulsion was at hand which would utterly overwhelm them. It soon began, however. Twenty yi ars ago the native American feeling was taking deep root in the country. — l he American blood boiled at the lying compliments which were paid and the the fulsome adulation offered by poli ticians and newspapers to the foreign voters: not the less fiercely when it was seen that such traitors as Mr. Seward were the especial liivoites oi the for eigners, anil that, whenever such a thing was possible, the Irish and Ger man vote was cast in opposition to that of the American masses. For some time the feeling smouldered in men’s m arts ; but at last it burst forth, and the consequence was frightful riots, de struction of churches and other propel ty, and a wide-opened proscription ot rureigners. 'lire punishment, though merely local and partial, was severe : but accidental causes prevented further dcvelopement of the ieeliug at the lime. It was reserved lor Mr. Pierce ;o galvanize the old native feeling in to new life by his desperate disregard of his cutty to ins countrymen, and his reckless appointment of incapable worthless foreigners to oliiee. lie has done the work well. First disgusting democrats with the democratic party to which he owed Iris elevation, and tints providing the new party with a splendcd batch of available recruits, no has carried out the design to admi ration by sending such men as Belmont, Soule and Owen to Europe, and pro viding the United States witU repre sentatives who neither represent the people nor live spirit, nor the the ehai uoterof the nation. Nothing more was wanted to com plete the organization of the party which claims that Americans are aim to govern themselves without foreign aid. That party will have a chance ol trying the experiment belore long. It will be time enough when it fails to send to Europe for Irishmen or Ger mans or Frenchmen to manage our af fairs for us. —A . Y. Herald. Russia Hard to Whip—the English Housing Themselves. .The London 'Junes seems to have at Jast come to the conclusion that .Rus sia is a more formidable opponent than at lint supposed.' One entire season has passed over, and. no impression has made upi n die enemy. Fleets greater than England ever assembled m hostile array, before an adversary, have been unabte to accomplish any decided act which brings England nearer to her object to put a stop to the. territorial progress of Russia. In tiie Crimea she has been the most suc cessful in her operations, but even tltere has accomplished nothing decis ive, while her army is melting with alarming rapidity. Os the I>O,UOO men who left England for the seat of war on the Black sea, she has lost by chol era, by war, and other casualties, 14,0U0 men, according to the calcula tion of the Liverpool Northern Times. Her army has recently had a reinforce ment of 1200 marines, and perhaps 2000 troops of ail arms, and with the 4,000 men which, are going out, the British force may be increased to 20,000 or 25,000. The inadequacy of this force to retain the possession of any conquest made in the East against any of the powerful countries of Europe begins to press itself painfully upon the Eng lish mind, and hence we see the jour nals beginning to rouse the nation to new efforts, to sustain the honor of their arms, involving a vastexpenditure of treasure. The Times anys: “ We require an allied army of 200,- 000 men in the East, and it is vain longer to deny the fact, or endeavor to give a more favorable coloring to the position we are really in. Fiance can supply her contingent, and England must find her moiety. Wc were in hopes that diplomacy, backed by a formidable warlike demonstration on the part of the two greatest military and naval {towers of Europe, would have brought tlie Czar to some equita ble terms. This vision has now pass ed away, and the idea of' playing at war any longer must be totally explo ded. “ The troops stationed in our colo nies must be brought homo, and the defence of our distant possessions left to the loyalty and patriotism of our colo nists. Recruits must be obtained, and no means .of offence or defence left longer to take case of themselves. All that is now being done is well enough as far as it goes. But the Ottoman dominions have still to be protected, and the blood of civilization lias to be avenged. We can no more think of retiring from the Held while these du j ties remain to be performed and crowned with victory, than we could think of abandoning our homes and lu-arths to a Russian invader. Experi ence has already shown us what the nature of the present contest really is, and to neglect another day to prepare fjr what lias to follow, would be high ly criminal. On-: hundred thousand British troops, and the same number of French must, route qui coute, be sent to the East without delay. With the fall of Sebastopol, our present in tense anxiety may cease, but with that event the war must bo considered as only just commencing.” | The New York Ilciald cn Caleb Cashing* It is proposed to remove Mm cy from the fetate Department. Good, lie has been the Marplot, the Micaw ber of the whole concern. It is pro posed to put Gushing-—General Caleb Cushing—in his place. Very well. Reduced as the Democratic party now is, it would be difficult to find a more available stick of timber. Cushing is a remarkable man. A gentleman in liis manners, a scholar by education, a Puritan in his looks, a diplomat from experience, a soldier from discipline, am , perhaps, the most elastic and un scrupulous demagogue in the United States, Cushing is the man for Premier. He thoroughly tinders lands the party polities of the country, for he has be longed to all parties —“everything by turns, and nothing long.” He has been the pride of tiie whigs, the lor lorn hope of Captain Tyler, the right arm of Colonel Polk, a leader of the free soilers, and tile champion of the South; and at present he is very like ly a master among the Know Noth ings. And, as in our party polities he lias been everything, and knows eve rything, so in diplomacy, he has liter uliy accomplished the circumnaviga tion of the globe. Yes, he has sailed round the world. As Commissioner to China, he went out via the Medi terranean, the Red Sea, Bombay and the Indian Ocean; and having made his famous treaty with the Imperial Commissioner of the Central Flower) Kingdom, lie returned via the Sand wich Islands and Mexico. The theo ry of Columbus was, that from the ro tundity tis the earth lie could make a trip to the East Indies by a Western passage. Cushing, reversing this theo ry, actually made a trip to the West Indies by going East all the time. And if Columbus opened anew world to civilized man in his discoveries, so did Cushing in his Chinese treaty. Furthermore, in the event of a bloody rupture with France and Spain, the. active experience of General Cush ing in our late glorious Mexican war, will be of immense practical service to him in the State Department, in the quitter of our warlike operations by land and sea. Asa scholar, a politi cian, a diplomat and a soldier, there fore, the vast learning and remarkable experience and flexibility of Cushing will render him a highly desirable ex change for Marcy as Premier. The gen tit man from Massachusetts, too, has been promised the place for a long time; and he has been waiting long enough. Let Marcy go out, and let Cushing go in, at 1c ist by the middle of January. Mrs. Swishelm on Dandng. The following remarks are from the piquant pen of Mrs. Swishelm : “ One curious tact we have observed with re gard to dancing. This is, the more deeply a church or individual profes sor is steeped in the spirit of money grabbing, or intemperance, the greater their abhorrence of dancing. This appears to bea kind of convenient scape goat, on which the sins of the congre gation are laid, that they may be born in the wilderness. Let the preacher at any time submit, to a gag, which shall on some special occasion, forbid his opening his mouth for tue dumb, or reproving a wealthy distiller, or fat usurer, who grinds the pour to pay pew rent, and forthwith we get a fresh an athema. on dancing. Show us a weal thy deacon’s wife who will haggle with a widow lo get washing done for twelve and a half cents a dozen, and then pay her in trade, or give two dimes and four coppers for twenty-five cents, and we will show you one who will take a spasm over the iniquities of a cotilion. We never knew the rule to fail, and have watched its workings so long that whenever any one begins a lecture on dancing we suspect him or her of being a worshipper ofMummon. Old Christian in his longjourney, dan ced for joy, but the man with the muck ralce was two busy. Nothing appears better calculated to contend with the hard, money loving spirit of our age, than music and dancing. It tends to melt the hard crust which the dust of ledgers forms around the hearts of our people, and there is no plaee to which we should go with a subscrip tion paper for a charitable object with’ more hope of success than a social par ty‘where all were dancing to the mu sic of two good violins and a trom bone,” \ Onstir Pacha. The most popular military man in Europe, at the present time, is Omar Pacha, the Cominander-in-Chief of the Turkish army. He is generally re garded as the Savior of the Turkish Empire.. Ilis firmness, judgment, cou rage and military skill sustained and protected “the sick man” in the time of greatest peril. He triumphed over dangerous cabals at Constantinople, defeated the schemes of diplomacy by his vigorous measures of defence," and not only stayed, but drove back the invading hosts of the Northern Auto crat. Omar Pacha’s campaign on the Danube is a brilliant page in his histo ry. Its events and incidents are re cent and well known, and we need not here repeat them. Omar Pacha is a native of Croatia, and consequently an Austrian subject by birth. lie was born in 1801, and s still in the vigor oi life. His family name is Lattas. liis father was Lieu tenant Aministrator of the circle of Ogulini, situated thirteen miles from Fiume, the only seaport of Hungary': At an early age Omar < Titered tiie school of mathematics of Thurm, near Carlstadt, in Transylvania, and having completed his studies with distinction, he joined the Austrian Army. In 1880. in consequence of a diffi culty with his superiors, he left for Turkey, and embraced .Lslarnism.— Chpsraw Pacha, who was then Seras kier, took him under his protection, procured him admission into the Turk ish army, ami atta lied him to his per sonal staff. lie even gave Omar his ward in marriage, one of the richest heiresses in Constantinople, and -the daughter of one of the Janissaries, whose head he had caused to be cut oil in 1827, when that corps revolted against tho Sultan Mahmoud. Omar continued to advance in the Turkish army, until the Syrian and Albanian insurrection in 1848 gave him an op portunity to distinguish himself, and attracted to him the attention of the Sultan, lie was sent to Kurdistan, and succeeded in obtaining the sub mission of that province. In 1848 he was named to the command of the army sent to the Danubian provinces, then placed under the double protec tion of Turkey and Russia. In this capacity he showed great prudence and superior administrative abihtus. In 1851 lie was named Commander-in- Chief of Bosnia, the principal chiefs of which had refused to recognize tiie new organization of the Empire.— W ith an inferior force he triumphed over the hostile beys of that country. In the organization of the army Omar Pacha has displayed great activ ity ; and the fruits of that organization have been seen in the present war. After the Hungarian revolution ho undertook the defence of the refugees, whose extradition had been demanded by Austria and Russia. He proeee ded to Schurnla, made the acquaintance of the principal refugees, and on his re turn to Constantinople, zealously plead ed tlieir cause with the Sultan. He took several of them with him to Bosnia and Montenegro, and confided to them important posts. They have proved themselves worthy of his con fidence, and some of them have since distinguished themselves in the service of Turkey. Omar Pacha is rather below the middle height, but Ins a military mien and expression of countenance, lie speaks, with equal facility, several European languages, and is beloved by his soldiers, lie pays the utmost at tention to their wants, and treats them as his brothers. Many incidents are narrated illustrating Ins humanity and generosity. During the Bosnian cam paign, the rebels at Jaitz had forced the Christians of the surrounding vil lages, as well as the town, to bring everything they possessed money, provisions, household utensils, and other moveable property —into - the fort; and when they evacuated it they carried all this away with them. Most of the women and children had been icmoved from the town to the more distant villages, for safety; and they now returned half-starved* to their ri fled homes, where they found no means of subsistence. Omar Pacha distributed among them 30,000 okas of Indian corn, and 50,000 piasters in money. When this sum was exhaust ed, he gave them 100,000 piasters more; and an equal amount was sub sequently divided among the Chris tians of Bania Luka, then similarly situated. In both these cases, lists of their losses were .taken, and Omar Pacha made the rebels refund them, bv levying an idemnity from all those chiefs who had signed manifestoes and proclamations calling on the Sapiiis to take up arms.

Several articles have been published in this paper during the current year in relation to the preservation of ma nure from the wasting effects of winds and rain and sun, by means of some kind of covering or shelter. The N, B, Agriculturist lias been lately urging the importance of the same mode of management. Among other reasons why farmers should bestow more care than they usually do upon the pro duction and preservation of all sub stances Capable of being employed as manures, some especial stress is laid upon the fact that more than usual difficulties are now being felt ii; obtain ing guanos and other portable manures in sufficient quantities, and at reasona ble rates, and, we may add, in a condi tion sufficiently free from the possibili ty and probability of being fraudulent ly deteriorated or adulterated. As re gards the production of manures, eve ry vegetable or animal product is cal culated to swell the manure heap. An imal products'are, from their contain ing a larger per centage of nitrogen, more valuable than vegetable products. Hence while no vegetable matter should be allowed to run waste, all animal matter connected with the farm and all that can be cheaply obtained, should be carefully collected and add ed ‘.o the manure heap. Carcases of animals that die, blood, slaughter house cleanings, refuse of fisheries, and anything of like nature, should be added as there may be opportunity. Where such animal matter can be ob tained, some dry peaty matter from ditches, or sawdust, or sand, or clay, should be mixed up with it to absorb the liquid and also to retain the ammo nia which exhales from it. j But neglect nvthe preservation of | farm-yard manure is more common, or j at least more palpable, than neglecting j substance s to form a large manure heap. The yards are generally so ar ranged as to permit, not only rains, ; but also the drippings from the roofs of the a jacent buildings, to fall upon the manure and wash out of it much, that is valuable. AY ho so very fortu nate as not to have seen, either in his own barn yard or in those of his neighbors, brown streams issuing forth, carrying with them the gold of the farmer, only in a way somewhat differ ent from the usual form? AVhere this can be prevented by making the barn yard concave, or deepening it in the centre, it may be done by laying down dry peat earth or dry mould to absorb it. It should never be forgotten, says the X. B. Agriculturist, that the urine of animals is the most valuable part of their excrete, and where not absorb ed by the litter, should, in some way, be prevented- from escape and waste. But fertilizing matter escapes in other ways than in the liquid form. “ Loss also accrues from the escape of matter in a gaseous form.” Ammonia or hartshorn, which is now generally know as one of the most valuable, as well as one of the most volatile of ele ments entering into the composition of fertilizing matters, readily passes from the exposed manure in the farm-yard. “■When fermentation rises to a certain height, this escape is constant.” To keep the fermentation in check and to fix the ammonia for retention, should be the study of the farmer. Here dry peat becomes a valuable auxiliary, and also dry mould. Some have advocat ed the adding of gypsum; it is howev er, found in practice not to answer the expectations which were at one time formed of it. “No better substance has yet been recommended,” says the N. B. Agriculturist, “than dry peat or dry mould. Sawdust, where it can be ob tained in sufficient quantities, makes an excellent addition or covering for the manure heap. A good rule is, all farm yaid manure should be applied to, and mixed with, the soil as speedily as pos* sible; but during summer, at least, this becomes all but impracticable.” Under such circumstances there must be los3 and waste, a leaking away of what might be converted into golden treasure, it* the manure does not get some-kind of covering, and be mixed with some mailers v liioh will absorb ' t’ie liquids and eilialatious.-— American Cotton Plant*'-.
