POTASII. otasih or oxyde of potassium is also or the bodies abounding in nature. t the result of the combination of at potassium with oxygen. Its for fa is written .Ko, because potussiulm .lso called katlium. .t was known to Geber in the ninth itury, but was not distinguished )in soda until 1792 by Margrag. Its .me is derived from two English ords, pot and ashes, because the - glisht were the Ilhst to ptrepare this kiah; irdutriallv by leaching the ahes of ,egetation and evaporating Ilhe >luion in pots. There are three principal sources of otash: felaspathic and granitic rocks, to deposits of rock salt and sea water. iranlites which form wholcelchains of notuntalins and the g antor p:a-t of the -rust of the cart I contaiI I 5 to 20 per cent. of potash in an insoluble state, it s true, but which cani be extraucted as tcodcad and made perect ly soluble. Deposits of rock salt, containing nuch potash, have been formed by the trying of inland seas, leaving a de posit of all the salts they held in solu tion. These were large salt lakes whose bottoms were above the lcvel of' the sui rroutnndilg waters. The CasI.ian sea on account of' its great dept Ii is still it type of these interior seas. 'T'hlere are itportant m lin es of rock salt as Vicliczka in Poland, at Con donia Catalom a and Stasst't" in 'russia, and in America. At the UnliverSal Expo sition in 1867, at Parishl, we saw an immense arch which Prussia had made in her section with blocks of rock salt like shaped stones. If the deposits of rock salt actually known were conentrated in one part of the globe, they would cover a piece of ground 120,000 yards wide, 80,000 yards long and 390 feet thick. This llass ot soda and potash does not rep resent the two hundredth part of these salts contained in the waters covering our globe. Potash is also found abundantly in the form of a nitrate (lto. No. 5.) on certain soils during the dry season in lIcngal, Egypt, at Ceylon, and inl soine warm parts of America. But sea water alone is an inexhautstible source of potash. h'orm1e'ly sea water w' as thrown back in the sea alter cooking halt was extracted. The usefulness alnd even Ithe presence of other salts Was not suspected. Sea water, when concentrate<l, deposits its salts accord iiig to their dtegrees of solubility. Sul plhate of lime, which is almost insolu ble, 's first de1posited, then cooking salt, or chloridc of sodliuni, then sulphate of soda, and lastly the double chloride of potassium and magnesia. In the deposits of rock salt we find the salts deposited according to or(ler of solubility just as we see it now from salt seas. The emineut. Frenich chem ist., Mr. Balard, was the first to find a '"oil of Pxtracltinr chloride of potas !rt. This salt is potash, but for Its value is oftlie r contains a two weight in it. vfa' ud.t.

'Thoro Is no, doubt of the enor mnons quantity of sulphuric acid which vegetation requires and which plaster can furnish it. The proportion of sulphuric acid in a crop of lucerne and rape goes as high sometimes as 33 to 44 ounds per acre. In cabbage it goes up to 176 pounds per acre.

At a temperature of 120 degrees it loses water and becomes cooked plas ter or anhvdrous sulphate of lime with the ability to reabsorb water if added to it. Then it is ground to a fine pow der and is ready either for manufac turing or for agriculture. It contains 59 per cent. of sulphuric and 41 per cent. of pure lime or oxydo of calilum. Lime is the cheapest term of the com plete fertilizer. I'ulverized anhydrous plaster should always enter to a slight excess in chemical fertilizers where it acts 'sev cral useful parts. It is a fertilizer and all excipient. It helps to improve the soil, gives the necessary volume to the fertilizer and makes it easier to handle. We see that the four agents of fer tility, nitrogen, phosphoric acid, potash and lime, exist in inexhaustible quan tities on the globe and can always be got at. When you have got the first ingredients of a fertilizer, the pr"epar ing is a simple mixture based upon the nature of the culture in view. The fertilizer holds the active principles of the substances composing it. MIXING OF CIIEMICAL FERTILIZEuS. Oni a dry, tight and smooth barn floor spread the stperphosphate first, then plaster, then the sulphate of ammonia, and lastly the chloride of potassium or the nitrate of potash. Mix well with a shovel, pass through a sieve or screen, and mash the small lumps with a pestle to make them mix well. Let tie llass stand twenty-tour hours and Imlix again, mashing any lumps that escaped in the former working There are machines costing from $140 to $160 whieh do all this work at once and in large masses. TIIE OFFICE OF WATER. 'Tile surface of the globe is composed of two couches or layers-one melted, the other crystallized. In the melted couche the lime, iron, soda and potash are all combined with silicia and con ealed in blocks. This is chaos and inertia. In the crystallized couche there is sediment ; water has intcrveln ed; there has been a separation of cer tain bodies amid a reunion of others. A rudimentary chemical fertilizer has formed naturally and become the theatre of the first manifestations of vegetal life. It has not always rained on the earth. At a time (geologists have not veqt determined the rnin,1 1,, gs which onveloped the earth, and which later was to form air and water, was held ot' at a great distance and very much dilated by the high temperature of the central neucleiis.

C., Soptelnber 22.--Tho Register in its 1s8e of September 18th contained an acootint cf the dastardly work of the assassin who robbed young flammond of his life on the night of 12th instant, since which time the people in the neighborhood of Mrs. Culbreath's, at whose ho1se the mur der was committed, have been wild with excitement. Yesterday morning Trial Justice Glover issued a warrant for the arrest of O. T. Culbreath, and a deputy sheriff brought him to the village the same evening, without resistance on his part. On the arrival of the prison er at the Court House he was asked to be allowed a consultation with bid lawyers, Messrs. Gary & Evans, to whose offilee they proceeded. In a very few minutes thereafter several masked men rushed into the office and demanded the prisoner at the muzzle of their revolvers, whereupon Mr. Cul breath fired upon his assailants and In return was shot in the right arm, breaking the same above the elbow. The crowd was overpowering in num bers and they succeeded with little difficulty i ca pturing their victim, who was carriet a short distance from the village and shot several times. The shootinf, it is said, could be heard from Edgefield. The sheriff, failing to collect a posse sufficient to reclaim his prisoner in time to save him, proceeded with two or three others in the direction from whence the sounds of the pistol shots came, but ere they reached the fatal spot they met the object of the lynchers' hatred toddling his way back' to the village, drenched in his life's blood. lie received all the assistance that the faithful sheriff could render and was soog under the treatment of )rs. Hill and Jennings. Culbreath was the hus band of Mrs. Fannie Culbreath, a very estimable lady, who, it is said, he treated very badly, consequent upon which they separated and had not lived together for two years. This, together with the slanderous reports Culbreath at>itt his wife and tho open threat that he wot;!d kill Ianmmond, left 110 doubt in the minds of Ilanmond's frieads that Culbreath was the p^rpetratpr of the foul murder. It is the prevailing opinion that Mrs. Culbreatll was faithful to her marriage vows and that the reports of incon stancy circulated by her husband were the outgrowth of a jealous heart. Culbreath lived until about 4 o'clock, a. Ill. in the greatest agony and pro-' tested his innocence to the last. He said that he recognized two of his assailants, but their names are with held. Old citizens pronounce this the fiast lynching that ever occurred in the cou ty. WP hopo never to h.vo another. CLINTONWAltD, September 23. -The pro posed indignation meeting at Edge. field in regard to the Culbreath afhitir was nIot held, but was p)ostponled. Tihe jurry of inquest will resume its sittinag to-morrow anId will try to render a verdict. Excitement runls hligh and everybody throughout the surroundinrg country seems to be opem.n-onthed inl denouncing the outrage. Some parties are spoken of as tile p)erpetrator of this awful deed anld thlere is some talk of amrrests.

The Republican State C.nvouttion met here to-day to nomi tatp the following tickett Governor, Lieutenant Gover nor, Secretary of State, Comptroller, Attorney General, Treasurer and Itate Engineer and Surveyor. At 12.20, p. im., James D. Warren, Chairmtan of the State Committee, called the con vention to order. ''he Rev. Dr. S. V. Leaoh, of Albany invoked the Divine blessing upon the labors of the con vention. lid implored that the hands of the President and other members of the Federal Government be upheld by gra:e from above. The reverend geoi tieman also alluded to the delegates present as "represantatives of the par ty which blotted out the irreligion of slavery from the nation." The roll having been called, Chair man Warren aniounced that the State Committee had agreed upon Senator Warner Miller for temporary chair man of the convention. (Applause.) The chair appointed Ilon. A. B. Cor nell and United States Senntor El bridge M. Lapham to escort him to the chair. Referring to the political con >lexion of the Southern States, Mr. M iller maintained that throughout the length and breadth of that laud there wasn't to be found a single govern ment which holds the reins by the will of the people. "The Republicans, he said, "to prove this statement only asked for a fair field and a fair fight." Continulg, in reference to alleved illegal balloting in - the South, Mr, Miller said that the men who have managed the polls in that section would not contnue to do the work without pay. Upon the question of the civil service of the government Mr. Miller said the Republican party had put the law into practical use and were commit ted to it. lie would suggest, however, that the Civil Service Com mission be at once summoned together and directed to add a clause providing that "All jail birds and ex-convicts are forbidden to hold oflice." This he thought would greatly relieve the President of the United States. A recess was taken until 4.30. The convention was again called to order at 4.50, p. m. James W.

It Is possible that money dipped into a ounteous supply of printer's ink, is to be ised to teach false ideas. Why is It that such persistent anathemas hould all at once be hurled against the use f "Potash and Potash Mixtures?" Those who insist that Potash is a poison Io so because that is the way they have of ighting B. 13. B., as the latter contains >otash properly combined. Opium, morphine, strychnine, aconite, vhiskey, etc., are all deadly poisons, and .re daily destro'ing the iives of people, nd( wily (10 nt thiese men cr ey out aga inlst hieml?
