TRIAL OF WTRZ.
Thc military court in Washington engaged in
trying tho Andorsonvillc prison keeper, resumed
proceedings in thc enso on tho 19th inst., after an
unavoidable vacation, owing to the illness of the
accused, of an entire week. After conference be
tween tho Judge Advocate and Wire's counsel and
i; a secret deliberation of tho court, in regard to tho
Government furnishing time and means to sum
mon additional witnesses for the defence from thc
Southern States, it Was decided that subpoenas for
tho desired persons should bo issued and seUt to
tho military commandants in whoso departments
they arc supposed to reside. Tho taking of eyi
' V dence was then continued, and a number of wit
nesses, including both those who had been in thc
national and rebel service, wore examined, adding
to thc testimony heretofore elicited regarding the
?. cruelty and inhumanity of Wira, thc sufferings and
tortures of thc prison pen, the hunting and tear
ing of fugitives by hounds, thc starvation, tho
punishments of thc chain gang and tho shooting
of men at the dead line. Major Noyes, who ar
rested Wirz at his homo in Georgia, testified that
,.. Jhe was not authorized by Goneral Wilson to give
tho prisoner any promise that ho should not bo
prosecuted for Iiis conduct at tho prison, and ho
.- - did not think that he gave any such promise
jj Captain Moore, who superintended the fitting up
" of tho grave-yard at Andcrsonvillo recently, and
J . marking the graves of the national soldiers who
died in tho prison, testified that thc number of
burials was twelve thousand nine hundred and
twelve, and that thc dead bodies wore packed
, ' closely together^ in trenches from -inc hundred to

In view of the alarming spread of the cattle
plague, the importation of English, Dutch, and
- Belgian cattle was prohibited in Franco.
A slight improvement was noticeable in United
? States securities. Five-twentie s were quotod in
? London on the 8th inst, at GR1. British consols
r closed at 80J (ff Ol). Tho cotton market was virtu
1 ally unchanged.
GENERAL INTELLIGENCE.
Recently, while a party of national soldiers wcro
in search ot lost government cattle, near Gaylcs
Tille, Alabama, they were attacked by a sheriff
with a posse of men, who claimed to bo acting
under authority from Governor Parsons. One of
the soldiers was killed and thirteen of the sheriff's
rr, men were made prisoners. This collision between
?j, the civil and military is to bo investigated by a
\. hoard of army officers.
Owing to tho linaucial straits to which a majori
ty of thc Southern people have found themselves
reduced now that tho war is ended, to their want
r of information in regard to tho requirements of
the Internal Revenue Laws, and for other reasons,
tho Secretary of the Treasury has ordered that all
articles in the lately rebellious StatCB which can
bo shown to have been manufactured before the
establishment of the collection district in which
they aro lound, shall bo held free from thc pres
ent assessment or collection of tax, unless trans
ported boyond thc State limite.
The trial of the rebel steamboat burners was
commenced in St. Louis on the 19th instant. Thc
? counsel of the prisoners has given notice of his
intention to summon as witnesses Jeff. Davis and
tho members of his exploded Cabinet.
.; A contradiction of the report recently put afloat,
li.- evidently with tho design of injuring tho causo of
tho Mexican Republic, that President Juarez de
* ' signed leaving his country and seeking a refuge
1?re, is contained in a letter from that distin
* ?uished ruler, dated at El Paso, on tho 17th of
AuguHt, just received by a gentleman in New York.
Mr. Juarez says he has no idea of abandoning his
r country or his country's cause. Ho had tempo
lardy established tho Government at El Paso, but
would soon take up his residence in ono of the in
?TJ terior cities. He ls determined to fulfill his duty
of preserving tho popular governinont of his na
tive land, and does not despair of success.
* ;, The national convention of Odd Fellows continued
f. in session in Baltimore on tho 19th inst. Tho city
was orowded with strangers, drawn together from
' every part of tho country, to attend this reunion
of the Order, and up to a late hour last night tho
railroad trains continued to bring in accessions to
tho number. On AVednesday, 20th instant, tho
,. monument to Thomas Wildoy, thc father of od}\
r Fellowship in the United States, was to bo inaugu
rated with a procession and imposing ceremonies.
On tho 10th inst, a committee of tho delegates
visited Washington and called on President John

TUE COLORED TROOPS.
Tho Republican argument that ballots should be
put in tho hands of all nogroos who have handled
bayonets in defence of tho Federal Union has led
to an investigation of tho numbers that would bo
affected by it. The whole number of negro troops
mustered into tho service since tho commencement
of tho war is, in round numbers, ono hundred and
eighty thousand. Tho deaths and casualties
among them greatly exceeded tho proportion
among tho whites, and amounted to over fifty
thousand. Sixty thousand of tho remaining ono
hundred and thirty thousand havo lately been or
dered to be mustered out in tho several depart
ments, and these only aro entitled to vote under
tho laws and regulations governing tho service.
This small number, distribxited among tho several
Staten, would not be an element of calculation in
any of them.

Menura. Fisher & Haskell, Cotton Planters at Newliern, N. C., write, July, lsftfl, as follow?:
"Thc Phosphate of Lime wo purchased of you Rives good satisfaction. Last year we applied fifty-fl ve (!i.ri) tonH to
three hundred and seventy-fivo (?.7f>) acres of land for cotton. Bay about (:100) three hundred pounds per acre. Wo rub
bed tho seed in the Phosphate, and also sowed it in tho driU with tho seed at the time of planting. On a portion of
the land wc applied a top dressing of thc Lime at the second hoeing. Throughout the season the cotton plants grew
well-thc leaves were of a dark, healthy color, and " MO itusr " was seen on thc plantation. Thc ravages of tho
army worm prevented us from realizing tho benefit from our outlay for the Lime in full, still tho large number of
partly grown bolls and forms gave somo idea of whut the crop would have been could they havo matured. Al
though we saved a large quantity of manure on thc place last year, our confidence in the value of your Phosphate
led us to purchase of you last spring seventy tons, one-half of which wo used ourselves, and the balance was
bought for a friend, who was satisfied of its worth in cotton culture. At thc time of writing this, our crop ia look
ing finely, and promises an abundant yield. Ono portion of our plantation consists of highlands with a clay sub
soil, running near the surface ; the remainder is Hat and inclined to be sandy. Thc owner of the place tells us that
ho did not succeed with cotton on this last part; but owing, as we think, to the liberal use of your Phosphate, wo
have now a good crop growing upon it. This 1B but the second season of cotton growing with us; still, from'our
experience thus far, wo do not hesitate to recommend your Phosphate of Lime as a manure .veli adapted to tho
wants of thc cotton planter."
KKWBEBJLT, 8. C.. October, 1860.
Professor J. J. MAFES- Dear Sir: I bought twenty bags of your Nitrogenized Superphosphate of Lime, of
your Agents, Messrs. H. ti N. E. Solomon, Hamburg. 8. C. (who soUcitcd u statement of its cffeclsk and applied it
to forty acres of my poorest cotton land.
This land ie on tho public road, where its effects were seen. My neighbors, who are acquainted Witta tba land
were astonished at the luxuriant growth of the cotton where I used your Superphosphate. It produced better co?
ton, and a larger amount, than on my good land; less work was needed in making thc cotton than on my other
land. Not a particle of rust was to be seen where I applied your Superphosphate, while the rust prevailed over
every other portion of the crop.
Respectfully yours, DAVID PAYNE.
NOTE.-Mr. Payne's good land compares favorably with tho best cotton lands on tho Saluda Uiver. The Saluda
bottoms arc proverbial for producing large quantities of cotton.
COTTON.
COLUMDIA, 8. C., October 18, 1859.
Mr. J. 3. MArES-D?tr Sir: In reply to yours of the 1st inst.. I cheerfully state: I have used Mapes' Nitro
genized Superphosphate of Lime on my cotton of the present year, ?md um perfectly satisfied with its yield.
I can recommend it to my neighbors witta confidence, as a pure und effective manure, und would give it tho
preference to any other in thc market.
Yours, respectfully, THOS. DAYIS.
Mr. Charles W. Mlxon, of Edenton, Chowan County. N. C., writes to Mr. Bockcver:
In regard to Mapes' Phosphate it worked admirubly for me, the product ticing fully equal if not superior to
both the manures before mentioned. It did not start the young plant as early as either thc other manures; but it
seemed to retain its color und pods much better, amt un symptom of rust was ever seen where it was applied -all
thc laud I planted in cotton being about the same quality ami strength. CHARLES W. MIXON.
Extract from a letter from Colonel Gideon Dowse, of Benella, near Augusta, Oa., August, 1860:
J. J. MAPES-Dear Sir: I have no hesitation in saying that on my own farm your Superphosphate has been,
and is now, superior in its effects, where I havo applied it on my cotton, to either lot-manure or cotton seed; and,
as compared to thc land wittaont mn miro 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 ono lu thc young fruit and forms, lu favor of the Supcrptaos
pbate.
This opinion is formed from a close and critical examination by my overseer and myself. There is one result
from ita application, which, if it had nothing else to recommend it, is of incalculable value, and that is, it docs
seem to guard against that worst enemy of the cotton plant, namely, tho 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 samo
kind of land just adjoining is completely ruined by it already.
This experiment confirms that liiadu by Mr. Lomas, of S. C., last year; and I am fully persuaded that any plant
manured witta it docs withstand a drought better and keeps green longer than with any other application that has
como under my notice. I havo aeon cotton, corn, okra, melons and other garden plants, that have kept green
during thc terrible dronght that has so completely destroyed all our gardens, and my nutmeg melons are us green
and blooming as beautifully as in spring.
I have written ttais as ttao result of my judgment from close observation. When I staaU have gathered my crops
it wiU give mc pleasure to give you thc result from actual weight and measure.
Yours, GIDEON DOWSE.
Extract from Weekly Day-Book:
NEW YOUR, October 20, 1859.
"We have, in tho course of an extensive agricultural correspondence, gathered evidence of tljo superior value
of Mapes' Nitrogenized Superphosphate of Lime upon the cotton Melds of the South, where Peruvian Ouano had
been used witta partial success. Tho boll* have been heit pier, and of greater number, the yield of cotton per acre has
been larger, and what is also of the greatest consequence, ?io rust is discovered in cotton fields where this article 1B
applied, to which may bo 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 the
highest praiso.
"We have arrived at tho conclusion, after considerable experiment ourselves, and of careful search for tho re
sults of the trials of others, that Mapes' Fertilizer lias more of thc property needed in a general manure, in horticul
ture and agriculture, than any thing else of thc kind we are acquainted with."
EDOEFTELn, S. C., October 10, 1860.
J. J. MAFES, Esq., New York-Dear Sir: I bought four tons of your Superphosphate of Limo for my cotton
crop, also some guano, and have tried them side by side on the same quality of land. Not a particle of rust was to
be seen where your Superphosphate was used ; and I also applied stable manure on u portion of my land. The
cotton had thc rust wheti ttao latter was used. Ttao yield of cotton wa? splendid wlu-n tho Superphosphate was
used, despite the extraordinary O.ry year. When I applied the other manure, the yield was not good.
I applied the Superphosphate at the rate of 100 lbs. per acre, and believe it would havo paid bettor if I had put
more per acre.
I Bold my cotton in Hamburg yesterday at *ic. per pound over the usual market price. The lint was consid
ered very strong and heavy. I consider yours r. celiable manure.
Yours, truly, JAMES M. LANHAM.
