Potash or ox y do of potassium ls also ouo of tho bodies abounding in nature, ls it tho result of tho combination of metal potassium with oxygen, its tor ta uh? is written Ko, because potassium I? also called kalium. lt was known to Geber in thc ninth century, but. was not distinguished from soda nntil 1702 by Margrag. Its ?nine is derived from two bngllsh word's, pot and ashes, bcoauso tho English were the first \p preparo this alkali; industrialiy hy leaching Hie .shes of vegetation and evaporating thc solution in pot?. There ?re three principal sources of potash: felaspathic and granitic rocks, the deposits of rock salt and sea water, ?granites wbicbfjform wholo chains of mountains and tb? greater part of tho crust of the earth contain 15 to 20 per cent, of potash in an insoluble state, it I? true, but which can be extracted as ?ceded and made perfectly soluble. Deposits of rock salt, containing much potash, have been formed by the diving of inland seas, leaving a de posit of all the ?alts they held in solu tion. These wera large salt lakes whose bottom? were above tho level of tito .iirrouuudiug waters. Tho Caspian .ea on account of its great depth is still ?a type of these interior sea?. There arc important mines of rock .alt as Vieliczka in Poland, at Cordonn Catalonia anil Stassfurt in Prussia, and In America. At the Universal lv\ po sition in 1867, at Pariah, we saw an immense arch which Prussia had made In her suction with blocks of rock salt liko shaped stone?. If thc deposits of rock salt actually known wore concentrated in one part of the globe, thev would cover a piece of ground 120,000 yards wide, 80,000 -* . y?rds long and 3J0 teet thick. This mass of soda aud potash duos not rep resent thc two hundredth part of those .alts contained in thy waters covering .ar globe. Potash is also fonnd abundantly in thc form of a nitrate (Ko. No. 6.) on certain soil? during thc dry season in Bengal, Egypt, at Ceylon, and in some warm parts of America. Put sea Water alono ia an inexhaustible source of potash. Formerly 6ca water was thrown back in thc sea after cooking .alt was extracted. Tho nsofulnosa .nd even the presence of other salts Was not suspected. Sea water, when concentrated, deposits its salts accord' lug to their d -gr ea of solubility. Sul phate of lime, which is almost insolu ble, i is first deposited, thon cooking .alt, or chloride of sodium, then sulphate cf soda, and lastly the double chloride of potassium and magnesia. In thc deposits of rock ?alt wo lind Mie aalU deposited according lo ordci .f solubility just as we tee it now from .alt ?ea?. The eminent French chem ist, Mr. Hal a id, wa? thc M rut to lind a method of extracting chloride of potas sium from sc? water. This salt ic ?scful onlv for its potash, but foi agricultural purposes its value is of thc Arst order. Ordinary sea water contains a two thousandth of its own weight in it. lu treating nitrate of soda by chlo ride of potassium we obtain nitrate o! Sotaah, also called nitre or saltpetre [?(rate of potash is a perfectly crystal lized salt, easily worked aud ough always to be used to furui-h tlc polas) for chemical fertilizers. If is stlltabb for all cultures, except perhaps foi .agar beets. This exception was dis covered by Prof. George Ville. Tin juice of tlie beet grown with abloriib of potassium is purer and crydali/.c ??etter ; grown with nitrate ot potash ; part of thc juice takes ibo form o glucose or uucrystejlzod sugar prc vents thc crystalizing of another po um of crystadr.ab'e sugar. This is due ti the fact that in thc form of a nitral the potash remains iu ttie b ni y ot th< beet aud pasaos into the juice, injurio; its crystalizatiou, while iu the form o . chloride the potash towards tho clo? ot the cummer rises into the crown o the plant and into its loaves which ari cut away when thc beet is pulled. Thc poa??h in chloride of potassiun lc cheaper than in nitrate of potash hut thc chloride mnil uot ba used to certain cultures, and it? introductloi into the fertilizer unknown to th buyer, i? a real deception. Chlorid of potassium should never bc used fo tobacco ?nd Irish potatoes. - Nitrate of potash, besides being ap plicable to all plant?, with the oxcop lion of ?ligar beets, is more valuable in that it contains two active element -potash ?nd nitrogen. lt fbruishe potash bv it? base and nitrogen by it .cid. Thc nitrate of potash of com ??cree contain? 44 per cent, ot pun potash and 13 per cent, of nitrogen whose value is to bc deducted fron thc net cost of thc potash. The chlo ride of potassium contains 50 per cent .f pure potash. Pot??b is indispensable to tho soil .nd not only for thc real part it take in the formation of vegetal lou, its us goes further, 'i he phosphates of lim .nd magnesia insoluble in water? meet ing thc potash, form tho double phos phates of lime and potash which ar soluble and can pass into the plants. Nitrate of potash is used io thc com position of gunpowder toas mucha titree-fourth? of its weight, makin] thc nitrate scarcer and more costly a time?. Whon the government makes if ?i refasses th? price t ines for awhile hi? is one fact more to increase th< .utagouism between war anti agricul lure. LIM C. Lime is formed by the couihinatioi .f thc metal calcium with oxygen Chemically speaking, it ls the oxyde o calcium. It exist? io such largo quan titles iu nature thal it is impossible t. name the quantity. Marbles, plasters .ud calce rou? mattere are in incalcula ble quantifi?e in all part? of the globe As w? have already said, lime is the dominant of no plant, but ia necessary ?o -tl. It not oal? enters into thc constitution of tho plant, but ill presence in the soil improves it. Cal careous prrtlclec, separating the more mt Ieee compact mas? of the soil, makes lt lighter and thu? help the roots to penetrate with greater ease. By thc medium of plants, limo pa?sc? luto the organism or man and animals to form their bose?.

Sulphate of ?II10 liudgcigoes a slow bul eontlnuod decomposition in tho soil, lt tires the carbonate ol' am monia resulting from rain water and organic detritus. It. also forms some sulphate of ammonia and carbonate of lime. There is no doubt of thc enor mous quantity of sulphuric acid which vegetation requires and which plaster eau furnish it. The proportion of sulphuric acid in a crop of lucerne and rope goes as high sometimes as 83 to l l pounds per acre, lu cabbage it goes up to 1/6 pounds per acre.

Lime is lite cheapest term of tho com plete fertilizer. Pulverized anhydrous plaster should always enter to a slight excess in chemical fertilizers where it acts sev eral useful parts. It is a fertilizer ami an excipient.

When you have got the first ingredients of a fertilizer, tho prepar ing is asimple mixture based upon the nature ot the culturo in view. The fertilizer holds the active principles of thc substances composing it.

Tilt OK KICK OF WAT RR. Thc surface of the globe is composed of two couches or layers-one molted, thc other crystallized. In the molted conche thc lime, iron, soda anti potash Are all combined with ?illeia and con gealed in blocks. Thin is chaos and inertia. In tho crystallized couche there is sediment ; water has interven ed ; lhere bas been a, separation of cer tain bodies ami a reunion id'others. A rudimentary chemical fertilizer has formed naturally and become thc theatre of thc inst manifestations of vegetal life. It has not always rained on the carib. At a time (geologists have not vet determined the period) the gas which enveloped the earth, and which hiter was to form air and waler, was held off at a great distance anti very much dilated by the high temperature of the central neuclcilS. Water wa not then formed, ned had il been io the form of vapor i' could no more Siavc re-ted on the incandescent globe (than the dew eau rest on a red-hot cannon ball. When the terrestrial surface was congealed anti cooled, the sun wa-? thc only remaining source of active heat; gaseous matters came nearer. Hydro gen and oxygon combined (probably with a combustion that long gave our planet thc appoarauco of a sun,) and fo.uned water which began to run tm the wrinkled crust of the globe, al times tossed np ami at limes depressed by the convulsions of the interior tires which gradually grew more circum scribed in ?dion. Water flowed into the deeper parts and accumulated in large cavities washed them deeper and overflowing the higher parts, washed up the igneous matters lying below. In this way sea- anti continent'* were formed. Solar radiations crossed the layers of the atmosphere where they were thinnest over sheets of water anti warmed its surface. Atpieous vapors rose imperceptibly to rcasHCinble as clouds, The clouds, put in motion just as they aro now, were carried acroHs continents to be dissolved as rain. Thc rains falling on this miner al crust ended by dissolving anti washing it down, lt disintegrated the crest? of mountains, furrowed their side?, carried down the soluble salt of lime, potash und soda, and mixing ail these agents with tin: powdered debris it camed down, composed the arabic soils of the valleys. Fertility was established; thc vegetal kingdom ap peared. As thc table was spread thc guests could bo seated. Thc guests came. Plants were born by reason of his physiologic axiom : As soon as ?lies necessary conditions for the formation of a being arc found united, thc being is born. Let us go back in thought to thc chaotic periotl when tho stiil burning globe, throwing out fire from all its centers, moved au uninhabited mass through celestial space. It perhaps took thirty millions of centuries to prepare the medium for the first useful vegetation. An immense and slow fallow which science to-day accom plishes instantaneously. There was then neither humus nor manure; what are we to think of the short-sighted routine minti* of to-day who still believe these two substances indispen sable to vegetation? It was the intervention of water [ which most contributed to disintegrate and prepare this granitic crust, u sort of mineral almond cake hound together by inoltio silicia, mid it is .valor which still disbolrcs the elements of thc fer tilizer which takes them np anti dis tributes them through thc issues of vegetation and contributes eight-tenths of tho constitution of living beings. To satisfy all thc world we must have 1 wator everywhere, but at different 1 timi s ami seasons. Ancient poetry ' well and gracefully expressed thc ' supremo power water exercised over life. Venus is born of thc sea; this is ' the most sublime allegory thc human mind ever conceived. Venus, love, beauty, fruitfulness; always beautiful, always young, coascloss mother of I loving beings, and all poworfnl in hor r florjou* simplicity. Such was the I earth, arising from tho midst of tho ti w?tei>fthe first condition of lifo. Oh, < sarth t thanks to thy waters which solar ? ?ctivilv takes up, carries off and dis- li ribntra over tho surface, thou art t ilways living^ fruitful and beautiful, r Thou art well beloved and enriched fl iv tho go ti i ii 9 and tho work of thy I ihildren. t I^Bfl^^^^H^SI^BUHnBflHlfli^PtB^^n LYNCH LAW IN EDGEFIELD. \ SUSl'KCTKU U ( i-i . i : i ; i i; SHOT TO DI A i ii lt Y MASK KU M KN. rim Alleged AHt?a?lti of IVIIIiiwii Hum IIIUIKI Keecued from Hu? mm . i i of ii"' I.nw : i mi Lynched ?Indignation uf (ho People. (/.'rom the Vvlumb?t Register./ TUKNTON, 8. C., September 22.-The Register iii its issue of September ist li contained un account cf thc dastardly work of tho assassin who robbed young Hammond of Iiis life on tin1 night ol* 121 ll instant, since which time tho people in the neighborhood of Mrs. Culbrenlh's, nt whose house thc mur der was committed, have been wild with excitement. Yesterday morning Trial Justice Clover issued a warrant for thc arresi of O. T. Galbreath, and a deputy shoriff brought bim to thc village tho same evening, without resistance on his part. On tho arrival of the prison er at tho Court House he was asked to bo allowed a consultation will? his lawyers, Messrs. Gary Su Kvans, lo whoso ellice they proceeded. In a very few minutes thereafter several masked men rushed into thc office and demanded the prisoner ut thc muzzle of their revolvers, whereupon Mr. Cub breath (ired upon his assailants and in return was shot ill tho rigid arm, breaking the same above thc elbow. Tho crowd was overpowering in num bers and they succeeded with little dilllcalty ill capturing their victim, who was carried n short distance, from tho village and shot several times. The shooting, il is said, could be beard from ridgefield. The sheri ir, failing to collect a posse sufficient to reclaim his prisoner in time to save li'un, proceeded willi Iwo or tinco others lu the direction from whence tho sounds of the pistol shots came, but ere they reached the fatal spot they met tho object of the lynchers' hatred toddling his way back to tia village, drenched ia bis life's blood He received all thc assistance that tia faithful sherill' could render and was soon umlcr the trent mont ol* Dra. Hill and Jennings. Culbrenth was thc bu band of Mrs. Fannie Culbreatb, a very estimable lady, who, i! is said, bc treated very badly, consequent upon which they separated and hail not lived together for two years. This, togelbci with thc slanderous reports Culbreall about his wlfb natl tho open threat that be would kill Hammond, left no doubt in the minds of Hammond's fr io ad that Culbreatb was the perpetrator ot Hie foul murder. lt is the prevailing opinion that Mrs Culbreatb was faithful to ber marriage vows and that the reports of incon stancy ci ron lated by her husband were thc outgrowth of a jealous heart. Culbreatb lived until about I o'clock, a. m., Ill the greatest agony and pro tested his innocence to Hie last. He saul that ho rceogaizod two of Ids assailants, but their names arc with held. Old citizens pronounce this the first I) iicbiag thal ever occurred in Ihe county. Wc hope never to have another. CLINTON WA itu, September 23.-Tho proposed indignation meeting at Edge lieht in regard to the Culbreatb adair was not held, but was postponed. Thc jury of inquest will resumo ils sitting to-morrOW and will try IO render a verdict. Excitement runs high and everybody throughout thc surrounding country seems to be open mouthed in denouncing I Ito outrage. Some panic are spoken oi'as thc perpetrator of this awful deed and there is some talk ol arrests, Thc affair is to bo much re gretted, in all the families concerned are among the best in the county. Tin N ION, September 24.-Thc jury in the coroner's inquest over tho body ot Galbreath, who fell a victim to lynch law, convened to-day, and Mr. James Minis, a very reliable voting man, gave as evidence, in a fearless and commendable manner, (luit on the day of the lynching ho was at Antioch Church, about eight, miles from thc court-house, making some repairs on bis father's grave, when be noticed passing in easy bearing distance some eight or ten mounted men, some of whom were partially disguised, though not sufficiently so to avoid identifica tion; that some of them ?poke to bini, calling him, calling bim by name. Those whom ho mentioned as recog nized by him arc Joseph Talbert, \v. L. McDaniel. W. L. Holmes, Dr. W. B. Prescott, Wm. Parkman, Memphis Culbreatb.

They replied that it was their crowd amt went in pur-nit lowan! tho COtll't-houso, saying (hat ?hey were going to take "him" from the constable and see if something cou ld not bc found out about the mur der. Dr. Hill, one of Ctllbreath'8 physi cians, testified that his patient told bim that Hill Parkman shot him in Gary's office, and Parkman and Wyall Holmes carried him out to tho slaughter pen. This testimony is corroborated by others. Tho Mr. Talbert mentioned by Mr. Minis is .Senator Talbert, and in justice lo bim I give his denial of having any connection with the lynching what ever.
