,__ DAILY NEWS. WEDNESDAY MO.tNlNO, SEPTEMBER 13, 1805. The Story of a. Kni.in. A correspondent <>t' the London Athenaeum -writes : Homo years since a robin frequer.ieil ray pardea In the neighborhood of PortwnowUi. Wlillo at work, alone or with my children, lie would follow mo about to obtain hi-octa mid other thing? from tlic ncwlv disturbed earth. I ira? very regalar in going out after brealtfaut whon tho wcatliorpcr mitto-. The littlo creature became awareol this, and I eoncraUv found liim i?rchedon a baoUtboni tree, that crow just outside th.? door, waiting for mo. A? soon m I amwaml ho wouW begin hut taring bis wines and ?liowing other signe oj plea Hiaro. He would then movo with mo from place t<> -placa until I began t<> work, wlu-n he woulil settle down very near mo, marching tho gronud, m it was tarnetl over, for food. \Vo continued on these terms of intimacy ?luring tin? Bummer. In the autumn he disappeared, but returned again on tho approach of whiter. Hi?; proceeding- anting this season wer.? often very omneiug. At one time another robin <?ani" about tho parlor window, which seemed greatly to excite OUT littlo friend, und they had many pitched battles, l'revious to those oiiBcts they would advance along an aspara gus bed, in front of the window, in parallel lines, nnd whon sonic crumbs worn thrown ont the con flict would common????. Whilst they were fighting tho sparrows generally made off with tho pieces. This war only terminated with the -iwappeasance of the intruder. But our robin's troubles WOTO not at an end. He was now beset by numerous sparrows, whose courage increased a* the progresa of winter dimin ished their mean? of subsistence. With sonn? ?>f Aliene lio had most dospcratc conflicts, and this state of things did not cease until the coming ?>n of spring enabled tho former to find food eh-'t whero. The robin also disappeared alter a time, ?nt soon returned with a mate, and reared a ?brood somewhere about the premises. During the following winter tho samo wars were waged as ?oforc, with similar results. Our friend mated again the succeeding spring, nnd appeared to have gained confidence from tho manner i:i which he liad lived amongst us. Tho nest was built this, vcar on a little shelf in an outbuilding at the bot tom of the garden. Hero they roared their young, tho hen during tho period of incubation remaining on tho nest ev$n when nomo o?* the family were close toit; but it was out of tho reach of the chil dren. 1 shall not readily forget our friend's joy when the young ones made tb'ur appearance. One morning on going into tho garden, as usual, my attention was attracted by his uncommon agitation and proceedings. Ho would conic about with great earnestness of manner, and then fly towards tho nett, and repeated this until it occur red to mc that be meant something. On follow ing him ho appeared to express great delight, Hy ing backward and forward, until wo arrived at the ?icBt. Tho female was absent, and he seemed to enjoy the pleasure of introducing me to his family, hopping about with the greatest glee. We found, afterwards, that, tho ben did not approve of any of us approaching her young, as she invariably gave a note of alarm when any of us went near them. Circumstances arising that caused our removal, terminated my acquaintance with the robin. Trade at Mobile Suspended. [Dispatch iotlie Philadelphia Ledger.) Catro, September 5.?Advices from Mobile re present that the cotton trado has been brought almost to a stand in consoqucnen of the order issued recently forbidding the shipment of any more cotton for the present from the interior to that port. The effect of the order upon prices bas been to raise them to 40 cents per pound for middling, regular lots of which were quite scarce. ?Sight drafts on Now York had been stud in Mo bile at _?_$ per cent, discount, though the drafts were not regarded as Al. From Egypt the Oar.ettc du Midi gives details of the ravages caused by the cholera, which has now almost ceased. In one village in tho Delta, celebrated for the cultivation of water melons, the whole of the inhabitants died. Being unable to sell their fruit, they ate it themselves, anil died to the last man. It was necessary to employ forced labor to bury the last. In all it is said that 82,000 victims of the contagion and bad living were buried in Egypt within six weeks. Tlic AVilinington Murk?-it.

(who solicite?1 a statement of its effects), and applied it to forty acres of my poorest cotton land. This land is on the public road, where its i-ffects were Been. My neighbors, who arc acquainted with the land, were astonished at the luxuriant growth of Die cotton where I used your Superphosphate. It produced better cot ton, and a larger amount, than on my good land; less work was needed in making the cotton than on my other land. Not a particle of nut was to be seen ?liara I applied your Superphosphate, while the rust prevailed over every other portion of the crop. Respect, ully yours, DAVID PAYNE. Note.?Mr. Payne's good land compares favorably with the best cotton lands on the Saluda River, The tiiiluda bottoms are proverbial fur producing largo quantities of cotton. COTTON. Columbia, 8. C, October 18, i860. __r. J. J. Mafes?Dear Sir: In reply to your* of tho 1st inst, I chcerfuRy state: I have used Mapes' Nitro genlzed Superphosphate of Lime on my cotton of the present year, ami sm perfectly satisfied with its yield. I can ??commend it to my neighbors with confidence, as a puro and effective manure, and would give it the preference to any other in the market. Yours, respectfully, TH08. DAVIS. Mr. Charles W. Mlxon, of Edenton, Cbowan County, N. C, writes to Mr. Bockover: In regard to Mapea' Phospliat? It worked admirably for me, the product being fuRy equal if not superior to both the manures before mentioned. It tlid not start the young plant as early as either the other manures; but it seemed to retain its color and pods much better, ?nui no symptom of rust was ever seen where it was applied- all the land 1 planted In cotton being about the same quality and strength. CHAULES W. M1XON. Extract from a letter from Colonel Gideon Dowse, of Berzclia, near Augusta, Ga., August, 18<',0: J. J. Mapes? Dear Sir: I hove no hesitation in saying that on my own term .your Superphosphate has been, and is now, superior in Its effects, where I hove applied It on my cotton, to cither lot-manure or cotton seed; and, as compared to the land without manure In the same field (in my opinion the only true way to test it), it is as four to one in tho number of grown bolls, and as ten to one in the youug fruit and forms, in favor of tho Superphos phate. This opinion is formed from a close and critical examination by my overseer and myself. There Is one result from its application, which, It it had nothing else to recommend it, is of incalculable value, and that is, it does seem to guard against thst worst enemy of the cotton plant, namely, the rust. I have applied it to land that invariably rusts cotton, and there is as yet not a sign of rust in it, while the some kind of land just adjoining 1* completely ruined by It already. Tilts experiment confirms that made by Mr. Ternas, of S. C., last year; and I am fully persuaded that any plant manured with it does withstand a drought better and keeps green longer than with any other application that has come under my notice. I have seen cotton, corn, okra, melons and other garden plants, that have kept green during the terrible drought that has so completely destroyed all our gardens, and my nutmeg melons are as green and blooming as beautifully as in spring. I have written this as the result of my judgment from close observation. When I shall have gathered my crops it will give me pleasure to give you the result from actual weight and measure. Yours, GIDEON DOWSE. Extract from Weekly Day-Book: New Tonx, October 29, 18?9. "We have, in the courue of an extensive agricultural correspondence, gathered evidence of the superior value of Mapes' Nltrogenlzed Superphosphate of Limo upon the cotton fields of tho South, where Peruvian Guano had been used with partial success. The lolls have been heavier, and of greater uuiubar, tho yield of cotton per acre has been larger, and what is also of tho greatest consequence, no rust is discovered in cotton fields where this article is applied, to which may be added its peculiar lasting power of fertilization, and its comparative cheapness. These facts have come to us in correspondence from parties who have used other like agents, and who give this by far tho highest praise. "We have arrived at the conclusion, after considerable experiment ourselves, and of careful search for the re sults of the trials of others, that Mapes' Fertilizer has mor?; of the property iu-??dc?l in a general manure, in horticul ture and agriculture, than any thing else of the kind we are acquainted with." Edoefieu), 8. C, October 10, 1860. J. 3. Mapes, Esq., Now York?Pear Sir: I bought four tons of your Superphosphate of Lime for my cotton crop, also some guano, and have tri? ?l them side by side on the same quality of land. S'ot apartide of rust was to bo seen where your Superphosphate was used; and I also applied stable manure on a portion of my land. The cotton had the rust when the latter was used. Tho yield of cotton was splendid Wtna the Supcrphoophato was used, despite the extraordinary dry year. When I applied tho other manure the yield was not good. I applied the Superphosphate at tho rate of 100 lbs. per acre, and believe it would have paid better if I had u_t more per acre. * I sold my cotton In Hamburg yesterday at >ic per pound ovor tho usuol market ?..-ice. Tho Unt was consid ered very strong and heavy. I consider yours a reliable manure. Yours, truly, JAMES M. LANIIAM.
