The extent, value and importance of the trade in commercial fcrtilzcrs is attracting very general notice throughout the South Atlantic , States. This is comparatively a new clement of trade, and from its peculiar character, one in which temptations to commit fraud are quite as great as the facilities lor its successful accomplishment. The real value of the various articles offered in the market dc> pond upon a scientific combination > I i - - vi ^viLuui uicuiuius wmcii agricultural chemistry lias shown to be requisite in all soils to secure remunerating crops. These elements may exist in larger or smaller proportions than arc necessary 01 requisite, or they may be totally absent from a given article offered in the market, and yet not one ? planter in a thousand would be * able to dctect tbe deficiency by tbe strictest scrutiny. In the purchase of other leading articles for the plantation?bacon, j rice, tobacco, salt, iron, mules?del l, ! fects which would render the arj tides valueless or materially diminish in value, can be readily detected by tho experienced planter through the sense of touch, smell or sij'ht, but, however acute those ec organs may be, they afford 110 adequate test for the value of any oi tbe thousand and one compounds ! now in the market, labelled "ferti?1, | lizers," and offered as irenuine nnrl valuable articles to the Southern agriculturist. Two samples ol er commercial fertilizers, one of very high grade, containing in well balanced combinations all the neces. eary elements of high fertility, and r another utterly worthless containing nothing but sand, water, and a trace of ammonia to make it "smell," may be placed before a hundred of our best planters, and 9 we doubt if a singlo one will be able to distinguish the worthless | spurious article from the realty 1 valuable article. ^ This should by no means he considered as a rcllcction upon the in"! 4.^11: - f - 1-- * - oi. planters. iYswciiavc ? before stated, the value of a fertilizer depends entirely upon the presence in sufficient quantities of Certain chemical substances, which g science and practical experience Lave discovered to be actually essential to the vigorous growth and full developement of our crops of corn and cotton, and which elements of fertility should be so com? bintjd as to produce the greatest amount of good, from the smallest outlay of money. Whether or not 3n' a bag or barrel of "fertilizer," offered by the dealer to the planter, contains in suitable proportions the requisite amount of plant food, can only he ascertained by a rigid chemical anatysis. To do this re quires not only tno requisite scientific requirements, but also the appliances and conveniences of a laboratory. Planters, as a class can possess neither of these requisites. yt Hence their liability to be cheated per when making their purchases of per commercial fertilizers. The vast extent of this trade, and ier' its iutimatc relations with the great no- ? 5DS source of Southern prosperity, deminds such legislative action as , will best protect planters from the impositions which have been and ? are still practised upon them by 1 fraudulent and dishonest maufac {, turers. The Legislature of this iil State, at its last two sessious, pass' ed bills on this subject, which experience has proved to be defective and wholly insufficient. The law as it now stands, benefits no one on but the Inspector. The honest manufacturer who makes a good fertilizer, and the dishonest one who mixes indiscriminately sand, I street garbage, water, red dirt, and a little ammonia, receive the same benefits (?) under the law?that ie f ft both articles are analysed, if the ate inspector is competent to make the analysis, and a stencil brand showrch 1D& the/ad of inspection?nothing for more?is placed upOn each sack 01 barrel, and there the matter ends, after the inspector has pocketed his fees. We published a statemenl a few days since of i'rofessor Wil? let, of Mercer University, to the effect that a fertilizer used exteu1 " sivelj? in this State, and analyzer ?h? by hirn, contained upwards of fort), tent yip 0f sandr iQ speaking o: this 8tr\toment .?f Professor Willei .: a fbw. days since to an; euiinea ' ohemi?4io? ihi?

It is but just to state also that this gentleman remarked further, that ' a large majority of fertilizers lie had analyzed were really valuable. But what planter can tell, if the articles containing upward of sixtypcr cent, of sand and one really valuable is put before him, which is the infer%r and which is the better article ? We want a law upon this subject similar to that enforced in Maine. ' There each manufacturer is requirj ed to stamp upon each sack, barrel j or other package the full analysis i of its contents?how much ammonia, how much Phosphoric acid? how much phosphate of lime?how j much soda- and potash, and how | much sand cao!? sack or barrel conj tains. Then the planuT could toll 1 what he was buying. The a-ujitie law provides that if any dealer or manufacturer shall have a false ; publication of the constituent parts ' of his fertilizer lie is liable to a , heavy line, one-half of which goes j to the parly who detects the fraud. ; A bill containing similar provisions i is now before the Maryland Lcgis, lature, and we trust that the mili| tary council now in session at AtI lanta may promulgate an order or j law containing the main features of I the Maine law. It will perhaps he i too late to do much good the pres j season, as most of our planters ! have made the purchases?some of ; them no doubt of sixty per ccnt. of j sand?but it will be in time for the '; next seasons operations. A remc; j dy for this great evil is imperative1 j I3' demanded. The real value or j cost of the various articles offered 1 j in the market at the highest price, 1 j range, according to the analysis ' J made bj* the chemist of the Agrij cultural Bureau, and of Professor j Johnson, of Yale College, from ! three and a half lo fifty dollars, a 1J ton. These sell for about the same | price?that is to gay from, seventy : to eighty dollars a ton. Until suitable legislation can be lj obtained, planters must rely entirely upon the character of the manufacturer or his agents, aud the experience of his neighbors who have used the different brands. In this city there are several large manufacturing establishments ; where fertilizers are made and com: pounded of the very best aud most valuable constituents and in which . ?il ! " -- * * * " ~ mere is no sanu or otner insoluble matter. These are home enlerpria1 es and should on that account sc' cure liberal patronage.

Further Details of tho Arrest of Rochefort?The Leader of tlio j Insurgents?Tlie Riots Discussed t in tlio Corps Legislatlf. 0 From the full cable dispatches | published by tho Northern papers p in regard to the Paris riots, wo ^ glean the following interesting de- i 1 _ J? * l uciai is: h ltochcfort was arrested a? lie was f on the point of entering a political I meeting in Ruo do Flandre, run- t ning from Belleville to La Vidette. A1 thou there was a great crowd c of people present, and mainly o' 1 his own partisans, he made no resistance to the crowd. As soon as c his arrest wras made known to the ^ crowd the wildest scene occured, c Gustavo Flojircns, who presided, rose excitedly, drew his sword, fired r his revolver, and declared insurrcc- r tion has begun. The meeting jl broke in disorder, and the crowd j t under the leadership of Flourcns, . t proceeded to barricade the streets. r This was accomplished without jr loss of time by the appropriation j: of tiio omnibusses and other vo- ;1 hides from suites in the neigh-j borliood. The Commissary of po-1 lice, who, accompanied by a guard, 1 j was charged with tlio duly of ar- 1 j resting Uoehefort, was forced along with the crowd and badly maltreat- , ed. ( The district lying between lino < Faubourg du Temple and the for- j 1 tilications at La Videttc, a distance j i of about two miles, was in posses-. 1 sion of the rioters. At 11 o'clock i1 a body ot' police charged the bani-11 cade in line do Faubourg du Tern- j' pie and attempted to carry it, but | I was impulsed. One of the com- 1 missarics Avas dangerously wound- J cd and one policeman killed. In other places barricades had also J been erected, but they were not defended. The military are now out | in force, but thus far have made no ( use of their firearms, although the insurgents have. The latter had pillaged armories and in that way obtained their way. Several po- < licemen were wounded with these in skirmishes early in the morning. A great number of arrests liave been made. At 0 o'clock this morning, over three hundred persons have been taken into custody < and imprisoned in the barracks, i Many of them were mere boys, all armed, and most of them under the influence of liquor. It is reported that Gustave Flourens, who is looked upon as a leader of the rioters, Lave been arrested, but the report is not confirmed. lie is said to have announced to his mother, , before going from home to tlie , meeting, that if Rochefort were ar rested she probably would never see > him again. < In the Corps Legislatif, Keratry, one of the liberal deputies, demanded to know why Rochefort 1 was not arrested before he started for the political meeting, where ' five thousand people wero asaem- j bled. It was not necessary that this meeting should bo thus disturbed, and the people who were j participated in it aroused to vio- , 1 mi - ? I icuuu. i ue act 01 tiie government , wns the provocation to the disturb- < ances which took place. i A member of the ministry ex- j plained that.the authorities bad re- i trained from arresting Rochefort at i j the chambers, to avoid the scandal { j to which lii's arrest would have 1 {riven rise. lie asserted that the 1 l friends of Rochefort were prepared to make the demonstration which ' they had made, and upon this fact the ministry would rest the re3pon ^ sibility of what had taken place, and the country would judge be- ( tween the ministry and the rioters. , lie said there need he no uneasiness for tVl A nortrilo Tli? * ( Jl UV ^UVVilllUUIJl 1 was animated by the best sentiments towards them. < The minister of the Interior followed with the assertion that the friends of Rochefort had determined on a demonstration had Rochefort been arrested at the Chambers.

They also furbished careful nurses for the younjf iixl the old and infirm, and in fact oolc tlie panic care of their slaves as )f their own children. Hence, the negroes never learned to t:ilce care of hcmselvcs. There was no necessity or it. They relied entirely upon heir owners to do this for them. Emancipation threw them suddenly ipon their own resources. In thoso rases where their owners would havo :ontinucd their protecting care, hrough the agencies of tluit ' infernal nachine" called the Freed man's Uu eau, the poor negroes were so es.ranged as to render the old familiar tid of "niassa and missus', impossiilp. This condition of tho Kentucky lcgrocs is no worst) tlian that of heir raco throughout the South. Uhey are perishing by thousands and .ens of thousands?perishing because .hey have neither the inclination or capacity to protcct their offspring:? jeeause tliey aro inexperienced and lull nurses ?because they are rapidly relapsing to their old state of barbarism, ami do not pay sudieient attention to the laws of health.?
