THE DAILY NEWS. Penlan Love Song. Ambition is tho riponed pear. Mid frienrjsbip is the vine Which, even round a ruin, will It* clinging tendrils twiue. But love is like a luscious peach A touch iis bloom destroys; Aa beautiful its blushing check, As B weet its tasted joys. But ever in its inmost heart A poison hes concealed; And all Hs sweetness fades away Whtn Jealousy 'a revealed. And woman often breaks her teeth Against this heart or stone, And, disappointed, finds in Love But bitterness alone. Ohl then, beware! go not too lar, Or Jealousy y u 'li meet; Just brush the bloom and tasto the fruit, If you would find Love sweet. Diplomacy Among the Celestials. KB. BURLINGAME AND THE CHINESE MISSION HIS TOBY OF HIS APPOINTMENT. It ha9 already been announced that Mr. An Bon Burlingame has been named by the Chi? nese Government as its flr6t ambassador to the Christian powers. Letters from Pekin show how this appointment came to bo made and accepted. Mr. Burlingame, as American Minister. Rave the Chinese Government ample proof of his diplomatic ability, and of bis sincero friendli? ness to China. Ho took the load in urging the adoption of what is known as the co-operative Eolicy, bv which the autonomy of that country as been* guaranteed, and tho old methed of extortln? concessions by menace and force has been didcarded. He dr?w up a paper constru? ing the doubful passages in tho treaties, which bas been aoeepted by all the members of the diplomatic body at Pekin. He induced tho Chi iese Government to emoloy Mr. Pumpiliy to make a thorough examination of the coal minan of Northern China. He procured tho grant for the submarine telegraph from Canton to Nintsing. He has constantly aided the mis? sionaries in their work; has used all his influ? ence to promote the study of the European languages and the natural sciences in Pekin, and has induced the Chinese Government to employ foreigners io tue customhouses and in other departments of the civil service. Early in November Mr. Burlingame inform? ed the Chinese Government that ho intended to resign his post and return to his country. It was attempted, unsuccessfully, to dissuade him from this purpose. Finding him resolute. Prince Erin g tendered him tho compliment of a farewell dinner. All the members of the council of foreign affairs were present. Several mandarins spoke of the great service which Mr. Burlingame had done China during his visit to Europe and this country in 1865. Mr. Burlingame answered that he would be ready to say a good word for their country when tho chance sbould present itself to him. The idea of the embassy seems to have been suggested by these s eecb.es. The Inspector-General of Customs and the Secretary of the British Le Sition were consulted, and two days after the nner a deputation of high officials waited on Mr. Burlingame Sud offered bim an appoint? ment as ambassador. He accepted on the sin? gle condition that the embassy "should bo placed in all respects on a footiner of the high? est respectability." Ur. Burlingame placed his resignation as American Minister in tho hands of Dr Williams, his secretary of lega? tion. A week afterwards he reoei ed bis cre? dentials from the hands of Prince Eung. Tho documont is written on yellow siik, and beard the gr eal seal of the Empire. The ends which the Chinese Government bad in view in this appointment are easily under? stood, lt is only the logical result of the open? ing of their ports to European merchants, tho toleration of missions, tho reception of envoys at P' kin, the encouragement given to tho in? troduction of Lurop^au learning and manners, and the employment of Europeans iu the civil service. Tue Chinese Government, having hopelessly drifted away from its old policy ot non-intercourse, is cLar-sighted enough io see the necessity and advantage of adopting the systooi of international intercourse practiced by the Western powers. In selecting Mr. Bur? lingame as its first ambassador it has secured the services of a man thoroughly conversant with its situation, needs and wishes, '.nd fitted bylong training in diplomacy to represent it efficiently in the European courts. Mr. Burlingame left Pekin on the morning of November 25th. He was iscorted to tho gates by all the foreign residents, including his colleagues in the diplomatic body. In his suite are the late tecretary of the British legation, a French gentleman lately holding a high office in the maritime customs, two mandarins, six attaches se ected from the new college at Pe? kin, and some twenty others. The pao y were compelled to stop at a villago about forty-five miles from Pekin, and send to that city for on armed escort to protect them from a formida? ble band of robbers which was scouring tho district. Fortunately, they were not attacked. Mr. Burlingame probably Bailed from Shanghai for San Francisco on the 15th. After (.pending Borne time at Washington, he will visit the capi? tals of England, France, Holland, Belgium, Prussia, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Swe? den and Norway, ana Russia. GEOEQK FRANCIS TRAIN nt IRELAND_Tho newspapers in Ireland are largely devoted to the oratorical, philosophical, political, rhetori? cal, and not always comprehensible flights of George Francis Train. The Irish appear to be delighted with bim, while the London Tory journals are just beginning to realize the mis? take that was made by placing him under arrest. They acknowledgu now that Train could not possibly have had a better advertise? ment. Train will keep on talking in spite of special constables of Her Majesty's magistrates -though the talk, latterly, has been moro cautious than it wai at first. The Cork Ex? aminer, of the 8th instant, Bays : After his lecture on Thursday night, Mr. Tram was entertained by the membeis of the Committee of Invitation at the Devonshire Arms Hotel. Mr. Hodnett occupiad the chair, and the Rev. Mr. Foley in the vice choir. Seve? ral enihusiastio speeches were made, those of Rev. Father Lynch aud Mr. Train being par? ticularly tpicy. Having been toasted by thc chairman as future President of tho United States, Mr. Train paid a.l the compliments cus? tomary with bim to American people aud the American nation. With so many of the Catho? lic clergy present, he said, and so many dis? tinguished Cathojc clergymen about him, ho would consider it a tnoute of affection from 4,000,000 Catholics in Ireland to 40.000 000 Catholics in America. [Loud cheers.] To? night it was Father England which was with toem, not, he was happy to say, Mother England [Loud laughter.] After a brilliant speech of twonvy miuutes* duration, pronounced as one of Mr. Train's best efforts, he concluded by quoting some poetical lines, which awaken? ed enormous enthus asm m tho audience, round after round of cheers greeting the con? clusion of his speech. A BOLD ATTEMPT TO ROB THE MALL, between Camden and Lancaster, was made on Saturday last. When about eleven miles from Camden, near the residence of the late R. W. Love, thc earner, a young man of seventeen or eighteen years of aga, was mee by a negro man, wno stopped him and domaudod the mail bags. Upon his refusing to deliver thom, the uegr? seized him by tho collar, dragged him out of his boggy, and attempted to choke him. Tho carrier cried aloud for help, which alarmed tho negro and he ran off He was foiled in his at? tempt upon the mail, but succeeded, during the scuffle, in rifling the pockets of the carrier, of a small amount of mon?y. The carrier doos not know the negro by name, but can identify him, having seen him at a store upon the road. THE LIBERIAN EMIOEANT SHIP GOLCONDA. Letters received from the Kev. Dr. Gurley, who sailed m the Colonization Society's ship Goloonda, lor Liberia, give a verv favorable account of the trip. They had on board about three hundred emigrants, and all well and cheerful, were landed in front of Mourovia on Christmas eve. The weather then and there was almost as mild as our midsummer.

Thc market openod quiet but firm on Wednesday morning, with a disposition on the part of holders to accept offers of the previous day, but buyers held aloof, waiting cable advices. On the receipt of these, which were very lavorable, buyers entered the mar? ket, I ut found holders disposed to ask an advance, which was finally conceded, though small sales were made. . The market closed strong at an advance. To-day the market opened with a good demand. Holders'were not quite so firm in their ideas, though asking ful.1 prices. Cable advices wero roceived early in the day reporting an advance of >?d in Liverpool, which caused holders to advance their prices. Most of the sales were made bet?re noon, and some ot our factors got ont at very handsome prioea, The latei advi< es from New lork were not to favorable, show? ing considerable weakness, although there had been very heavy sales. This caused our market to be? come very quiet, holders being willing to accept prices which they had refused in the morning. Th market closed very irregular.

THE PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE GIVEN BELOW of planters during the past season, fully establish all the ad var tag es claimed for this well-known FER lILLZEB: Received the highest premium awarded to Fertil? izers by the American Institute of New York, held r Oe t?lier, 1867. For full report, with analysis made by the Com? mittee ot the Institute, composed of Dr. C. E. Bcox, Professor J. G. POHLE, and other prominent chem? ists, nee pamphlets. Th<3 extinguished feature of this ?-UPER-PHOS? PHATE rrom nthor similar Fertilizers is, that all of its ingredien'* art of animal origin, ar. J are either soluble in water, or tn a condition to quickly become soluble in the soil and be taken up by the crop. Contains no inert or mineral materials. The proper relative proportion of the ingredients in MAFLS' Si PER-PHObPHATE to meet the re? quirements ot the Cotton crop ou Georgia and South Caro, ina solid, is fully proved by the experience of planters who testified that wherever applied, even to lund noted for rusting cotton, the disease is entirely corrected, and a healthy, vigorous growth produced. On the same land Peruvian Guano and oilier fertil? izers have failed- to s-^cure a healthy growth. REPOSTS FBOM PLANTEES, 1867. For Letters in full st-. Descriptive Pamphlet. Dr. E. M. ROYALL, Christ Church Parish, writes: Applied at the rate of 160 to 200 pounce per acre on 11th April, on 22 acres blue clay land, a good de', worn irom being planted in colton from 1867 to 18671 with only one year's rest during that time, and not? withstanding the long continued cold and heavy rain, and gales during the spring and summor, about tho first cf September the crop on this field was estima? ted by some of our best Judges to pi omiso a yield of 180 to200 pounds Uno Sea isiai'd Coitoi) Lani to the acre. Notwithstanding the ravages nf the caterpillar, the first cotton picked W..B from the held on which M APES' PHOSPHATE was uccJ, and it has mado about 66 pounda to the aore, while uo other man? ured land made over 45pounds. Has uso J MAFiio' PHOSPHATE on melons, potatoes and the garden with satisfactory results. THOMAS a. ?ALTLB, Washington County, Ga., re por. s that seventy-five pouuds per acre on ola land increased both the Cotton and the Corn three-fold. Considers it far more economical than Peruvian Guano. Lr. E. PASSONS, Sandersvillo, Wallington County Ga., eavs: "My observation is (hat MAPES' SUPER-PHOS? PHATE is a preventive against rust in Cotton. Has about doubled the Cotton and treolcrl the C?rnA h as done better than Peruvian Guano per pound." J. W. SCOTT, of same section, reports: "That his crop manured with Peruvian Guano was far more effected by drought aid ex es-Ive rains than where MAPES' SUPaui-PHOSPHAli: was used. ??hall nae MAPES'in preference to any fertilizer he has seoa used by his neighbors." W. H SPABEB, taunton, Ga., reports: "Un land about half covered with eodge, sud which bad not bren cultivated in t? o year.-, when the manure was put on, badly mar.ur. d, crop would }ield two pounds where tho un nianar ed would yiel l one."
