The Story of a. Kni.in.
A correspondent <>t' the London Athenaeum
-writes :
Homo years since a robin frequer.ieil ray pardea
In the neighborhood of PortwnowUi. Wlillo at
work, alone or with my children, lie would follow
mo about to obtain hi-octa mid other thing? from
tlic ncwlv disturbed earth. I ira? very regalar in
going out after brealtfaut whon tho wcatliorpcr
mitto-. The littlo creature became awareol this,
and I eoncraUv found liim i?rchedon a baoUtboni
tree, that crow just outside th.? door, waiting for
mo. A? soon m I amwaml ho wouW begin hut
taring bis wines and ?liowing other signe oj plea
Hiaro. He would then movo with mo from place t<>
-placa until I began t<> work, wlu-n he woulil settle
down very near mo, marching tho gronud, m it
was tarnetl over, for food. \Vo continued on these
terms of intimacy ?luring tin? Bummer. In the
autumn he disappeared, but returned again on tho
approach of whiter. Hi?; proceeding- anting this
season wer.? often very omneiug. At one time
another robin <?ani" about tho parlor window,
which seemed greatly to excite OUT littlo friend,
und they had many pitched battles, l'revious to
those oiiBcts they would advance along an aspara
gus bed, in front of the window, in parallel lines,
nnd whon sonic crumbs worn thrown ont the con
flict would common????. Whilst they were fighting
tho sparrows generally made off with tho pieces.
This war only terminated with the -iwappeasance
of the intruder.
But our robin's troubles WOTO not at an end.
He was now beset by numerous sparrows, whose
courage increased a* the progresa of winter dimin
ished their mean? of subsistence. With sonn? ?>f
Aliene lio had most dospcratc conflicts, and this
state of things did not cease until the coming ?>n
of spring enabled tho former to find food eh-'t
whero. The robin also disappeared alter a time,
?nt soon returned with a mate, and reared a
?brood somewhere about the premises. During
the following winter tho samo wars were waged as
?oforc, with similar results. Our friend mated
again the succeeding spring, nnd appeared to have
gained confidence from tho manner i:i which he
liad lived amongst us. Tho nest was built this,
vcar on a little shelf in an outbuilding at the bot
tom of the garden. Hero they roared their young,
tho hen during tho period of incubation remaining
on tho nest ev$n when nomo o?* the family were
close toit; but it was out of tho reach of the chil
dren. 1 shall not readily forget our friend's joy
when the young ones made tb'ur appearance.
One morning on going into tho garden, as usual,
my attention was attracted by his uncommon
agitation and proceedings. Ho would conic about
with great earnestness of manner, and then fly
towards tho nett, and repeated this until it occur
red to mc that be meant something. On follow
ing him ho appeared to express great delight, Hy
ing backward and forward, until wo arrived at the
?icBt. Tho female was absent, and he seemed to
enjoy the pleasure of introducing me to his family,
hopping about with the greatest glee. We found,
afterwards, that, tho ben did not approve of any of
us approaching her young, as she invariably gave
a note of alarm when any of us went near them.
Circumstances arising that caused our removal,
terminated my acquaintance with the robin.
Trade at Mobile Suspended.
[Dispatch iotlie Philadelphia Ledger.)
Catro, September 5.?Advices from Mobile re
present that the cotton trado has been brought
almost to a stand in consoqucnen of the order
issued recently forbidding the shipment of any
more cotton for the present from the interior to
that port. The effect of the order upon prices
bas been to raise them to 40 cents per pound for
middling, regular lots of which were quite scarce.
?Sight drafts on Now York had been stud in Mo
bile at _?_$ per cent, discount, though the drafts
were not regarded as Al.
From Egypt the Oar.ettc du Midi gives details
of the ravages caused by the cholera, which has
now almost ceased. In one village in tho Delta,
celebrated for the cultivation of water melons, the
whole of the inhabitants died. Being unable to
sell their fruit, they ate it themselves, anil died to
the last man. It was necessary to employ forced
labor to bury the last. In all it is said that 82,000
victims of the contagion and bad living were
buried in Egypt within six weeks.

bougbt for a friend, who was satisfied of its worth in cotton culture. At the time of writing this, our erop is look
ing finely, and promises an abundant yield. One portion of our plantation consists of highlands with o ??lay sub
soil, running near the surface; the remainder 1b fiat and inclined to be sandy. The owner of the place tells us that
he ?Ud not succeed with cotton on this last part; but owing, as we think, to the liberal use of your Phosphate we
have now a good crop growing upon it. This is but tho socond season of cotton growing with us; still from'oar
experience thus far, we do not hesitate to recommend your Phosphate of Lime aa a m-inure well adapted to the
wants of the cotton planter."
NKwnEnny, 8. C, October, 1800.
Professor J. J. Mapes? Dear Sir: I bonght twenty bags o? your Nltrogenlzed 8up??rphoephate of lame, of
your Agents, Messrs. H. k N. K. Solomon, Hamburg, S. C. (who solicite?1 a statement of its effects), and applied it
to forty acres of my poorest cotton land.
This land is on the public road, where its i-ffects were Been. My neighbors, who arc acquainted with the land,
were astonished at the luxuriant growth of Die cotton where I used your Superphosphate. It produced better cot
ton, and a larger amount, than on my good land; less work was needed in making the cotton than on my other
land. Not a particle of nut was to be seen ?liara I applied your Superphosphate, while the rust prevailed over
every other portion of the crop.
Respect, ully yours, DAVID PAYNE.
Note.?Mr. Payne's good land compares favorably with the best cotton lands on the Saluda River, The tiiiluda
bottoms are proverbial fur producing largo quantities of cotton.
COTTON.
Columbia, 8. C, October 18, i860.
__r. J. J. Mafes?Dear Sir: In reply to your* of tho 1st inst, I chcerfuRy state: I have used Mapes' Nitro
genlzed Superphosphate of Lime on my cotton of the present year, ami sm perfectly satisfied with its yield.
I can ??commend it to my neighbors with confidence, as a puro and effective manure, and would give it the
preference to any other in the market.
Yours, respectfully, TH08. DAVIS.
Mr. Charles W. Mlxon, of Edenton, Cbowan County, N. C, writes to Mr. Bockover:
In regard to Mapea' Phospliat? It worked admirably for me, the product being fuRy equal if not superior to
both the manures before mentioned. It tlid not start the young plant as early as either the other manures; but it
seemed to retain its color and pods much better, ?nui no symptom of rust was ever seen where it was applied- all
the land 1 planted In cotton being about the same quality and strength. CHAULES W. M1XON.
Extract from a letter from Colonel Gideon Dowse, of Berzclia, near Augusta, Ga., August, 18<',0:
J. J. Mapes? Dear Sir: I hove no hesitation in saying that on my own term .your Superphosphate has been,
and is now, superior in Its effects, where I hove applied It on my cotton, to cither lot-manure or cotton seed; and,
as compared to the land without manure 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 one in the youug fruit and forms, in favor of tho Superphos
phate.
This opinion is formed from a close and critical examination by my overseer and myself. There Is one result
from its application, which, It it had nothing else to recommend it, is of incalculable value, and that is, it does
seem to guard against thst worst enemy of the cotton plant, namely, the 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 some
kind of land just adjoining 1* completely ruined by It already.
Tilts experiment confirms that made by Mr. Ternas, of S. C., last year; and I am fully persuaded that any plant
manured with it does withstand a drought better and keeps green longer than with any other application that has
come under my notice. I have seen cotton, corn, okra, melons and other garden plants, that have kept green
during the terrible drought that has so completely destroyed all our gardens, and my nutmeg melons are as green
and blooming as beautifully as in spring.
I have written this as the result of my judgment from close observation. When I shall have gathered my crops
it will give me pleasure to give you the result from actual weight and measure.
Yours, GIDEON DOWSE.
Extract from Weekly Day-Book:
New Tonx, October 29, 18?9.
"We have, in the courue of an extensive agricultural correspondence, gathered evidence of the superior value
of Mapes' Nltrogenlzed Superphosphate of Limo upon the cotton fields of tho South, where Peruvian Guano had
been used with partial success. The lolls have been heavier, and of greater uuiubar, tho yield of cotton per acre has
been larger, and what is also of tho greatest consequence, no rust is discovered in cotton fields where this article is
applied, to which may be 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 tho
highest praise.
"We have arrived at the conclusion, after considerable experiment ourselves, and of careful search for the re
sults of the trials of others, that Mapes' Fertilizer has mor?; of the property iu-??dc?l in a general manure, in horticul
ture and agriculture, than any thing else of the kind we are acquainted with."
Edoefieu), 8. C, October 10, 1860.
J. 3. Mapes, Esq., Now York?Pear Sir: I bought four tons of your Superphosphate of Lime for my cotton
crop, also some guano, and have tri? ?l them side by side on the same quality of land. S'ot apartide of rust was to
bo seen where your Superphosphate was used; and I also applied stable manure on a portion of my land. The
cotton had the rust when the latter was used. Tho yield of cotton was splendid Wtna the Supcrphoophato was
used, despite the extraordinary dry year. When I applied tho other manure the yield was not good.
I applied the Superphosphate at tho rate of 100 lbs. per acre, and believe it would have paid better if I had u_t
more per acre. *
I sold my cotton In Hamburg yesterday at >ic per pound ovor tho usuol market ?..-ice. Tho Unt was consid
ered very strong and heavy. I consider yours a reliable manure.
Yours, truly, JAMES M. LANIIAM.
