A large crowd in attendance, and as the day waned, John Barleycorn begin to get the up? per hand of some of his worshippers. Demon? strations were mild, however, aud there was no fighting. Sxow.?The first snow of the season fell on Thursday night last, and on Friday morning the ?arth was white with the welcome visitor, but the bright rays of eld Sol. dispelled the last vestige ?ere meridian was past. The boys indulged in an eld-Tashioncd scow-bal'ing early after breakfast, and pedestrians pursued their respective paths in bodily terror. Shameful.?When an audience of ladies and gentlemen are assembled, for a couple of pipes lo be drawn out, filled, lighted, and the owners puff ?away in the midst of the crowd. "A word to the wise is sufficient," but the next time we observe such an occurrence in the town of Anderson, we ?shall be more paiticular in stating when and where, and perhaps name the parlies.

Editors Southern Cultivator: As I am oVnsfantf/ receiving letters from a?I partsof the ffot I on-'grow? ing .States, asking my views of Guano?what kinds 1 prefer?how I use it, and what quantifies??I will make the Cultivator the medium of my answer to all. Some twenty-five years ago, I began to ex? periment with Guano. First, I tried Peruvian. This gave good satisfaction, but was, I theo thought, rather expensive. I have since tried all of the other varieties of note. Some were geed, others worthless. I had come to the conclusion that (hi Peruvian, however costly, was the cheap? est in the end. as a bard-working, industrious man could manipulate it, with any other substance be thought proper. I havo feund salt, plaster, flow? er of bone3, swamp muck, ic, valuable io ma? nipulate with Peruvian Guano, but the labor of manipulation is great, and in the process ef ma? nipulation, much of the ammonia escapes. From this fact I have been led to inquire, whether there was net an excess ef ammonia in Peruvian Guano, and whether it would not be more advantageous to pay for the Phosphates, than to pay so much extra for (he volatile amnionin. Whilst full of this idea, I struck the Soluble Pacific Guano, and was so well pleased with it, that last year I manured one-half of my cotton with it, and the other half with the genuino Peruvian. The same quantity of each was used per acre. The land was of the samo quality, the planting and culture was in all respects the same, and when the crop was gather? ed, it was impossible to tell which was the besU Now the .Soluble Pacific Guano cost me $20 lest per (on, and as a consequence, I havo this year used the Soluble Pacific Guano alone. It cost ma at the Agent's Depot in Columbus, $75 per ton. It may be well here to state the character of my lui'd. I do not live on exactly what would be called pine barrens, but it is uext to it, The older portion ef my laud will not, with ordinary culture, bring three hundred pounds of seed cotten to the acre. A field of ten acres, which I wished to ex? periment on with the Dickson Collen, hybridizing it with ray Upland Long Staple. I plowed and sub-soiled in March, leaving the surfaco perfectly level; the 20th of April, I laid it off in lands about twenty-five feet wide, and sowed Solubh Pacific Guano broadcast, at the rate of two hundred pounds to the acre. This I turned under, with a (urn shovel, then opened furrows (hreefeet apartf with a long point scooter, following in the same furrow I put two huudred pounds more of the Gu | ano to the acre. Then I threw the furrows togeth? er into the centre, with a turn shovel, which left but a, slight ridge, and on this ridge planted the seed. The Dickson variety bears much thicker planting than ether kinds. The grewtu and fruit? ing of (he crop was superb?nothing equal to it had ever becu seeu in this section of the country, and if the worms had not swept all the top and end bolls, it would have made two good bales to tho acre. As bad as it has turned out, it has made % bale to (he acre. To a half aero near my dwel? ling, that 1 had cow-penned last winter, I applied (wo hundred pounds of the Soluble Pacific Guano in the drill, and, notwithstanding excessive wet weather in August, and the worms, which took all ihe late crop, I havo picked over twe thousand pounds of Seed col (on from (he half acre. There are (hose in my neighborhood, who plant land as good as mine, but without Guano, that will scarce? ly realize a bale from ten acres this year. And now a word to the purchaser. If you would get the Soluble Pacific Guano Genuine, purchase it only ot the authorized agents of the Company. I have tried ihe Peruvian and Pacific on my garden crops, but with no good results. Peruvian Gusbo seems to be emphatically (he food for the cotton fruit?other fertilizers may make more weed; but in the purchase of Peruvian Guano, we are pay? ing for a volatile ammonia, much of which is bound to escape, without benefit to crops. Will it not be to the planter's interest to take that Guano which is richer in phosphates, and yet an abun? dance of ammonia for all practical purposes? The Soluble Pacific Guano I have found from sound practical tests, to be equal (o (he Peruvian and much cheaper. I hold that no man can afford to plant cotlou without Guano. CHAS. A. PEABODY.

We had the early part of the season wet, and afterwards a drought of about five weeks, commencing about 15th July.
