SAVANNAH, February 4. -A large negro meeting was held at the Afri? can ' Church to-day, to advocate C. H.

Con gre st) lo nul. WASHINGTON, February 4.-In tho House, Pile asked leave to introduce a resolution authorizing the Secre? tary of War to commence a bridge over the Mississippi at Rock Island. Tho Committee on Freedmen's Affairs was directed to inquire into the out? rages in Maurey and Giles Counties, Teno., and report a measure of relief.

The rights of American citizens abroad wu? re? sumed, and several substitutes for tho committee's bill offered. For? feiture of Southern railroad lands was resumed. Eldridge characterized it . as cowardly and uncharitable, springing from a spirit of ?l-will and revenge against the Southern people, for acts heretofore committed; the bill was conceived in a spirit of dis? solution instead of restoration, arid waa antagonistic to the avowed object of the war; it violates the Constitu? tion; the Czar of Kassia could not do more than the bill contemplated; such a measure could'beter restore amity and fraternity to the country. In the Senate, the President was called on for the instructions given to Pope and Meade for the govern? ment of the Fourth District.

Gentlemen: I am well pleased with tho result of the use of the -'Double Refined Poudrette" on my crops. I tried it on both com and cotton, and am satisfied wherever it was applied tho yield was moro than double what it would have hoon without it. I regret exceedingly my not using it moro extensively tho present year, but will try to mako up my loss hy purchasing a larger quantity next spring. I regard it as tho cheapest, most reliable, and easiest man? aged fertilizer within my knowledge, and cheerfully recommend it (as I havo tried it thoroughly) to thc farmers of this section, and particularly to thoso planting cotton, from tho fact of its causing it to mature from ton days to two weeks earlier than it would without tho uso of tho Poudrette. I also used it on my garden, and found it of much bonefit to nil kinds of plants. Very respectfully, Ac. G. S. OOLESBY. * Extract from a letter received from Prof. Martin, of Ilampdon. Sidney College, Va., dated July I, 1807: Tho Double Relined Poudrette is operat? ing iike a charin on my crop, and attract? ing universal attention"from all beholders. I am already satisfied that it is thc cheap? est and surest renovator of our worn-out lands. - High Shoals, Ga., October 4, 1867. James R. Dev, Esq. Sir: Tho Double Relined Poudrette I bought for two other parties in connection with myself-one of them used it on cotton and corn, and thinks it answered finely; tho other put it on cotton, on very poor ground, and thinks it doubled his crop. I used it on corn. It answered finely, and was thought by tho hand that cultivated tho crop to bo fully equal to Rhode's Super Phosphate I also unod it on about an aero of cotton, and I am clearly of opinion that it is tho best and cheapest fertilizer in uso, and I expect to order several tons this winter. Yours, very respectfully, ISAAC POWELL. Ellaville, Schleg Co., Ga., Oct. 4, 1867. Tho Double Refined Poudrette, pur? chased of you last spring, I think, in? creased my crop of cotton 150 pounds pot aero; put it upon worn-out piuo land, al tho rate of 200 pounds per acre, drilled in with cotton seed. Yours, Ac, S. MONTGOMERY. Salisbury, Ar. C., August 10, 1607. James R. Dey, Es(|. Dear Sir: i can safely say that youl Donblo Refined Poudretto is "far enperiot to any other fertilizer for cotton; for 1 hav? given it a fair trial this season. Yours, JEHU FOSTER, Jn. Savannah, Ga., September 25, 1867. Jamos R. Dey, Esq., Presidont. Hear Sir: I used tho Doublo Refinec Poudrette, bought of you last spring, oi corn. I think it increased tho yield one half. I consider it an excellent manure Respectfully, T. HOLCOMBE. Ridgeway, S. C., September 21, 1867. Mr. James R. Dev. Sir: I applied the Double Relined Pou dretto by itself, and in combination wit! othor fertilizers, on cotton, and am pleasei with it; so much so that it ??? my presen intention to purchase a larger supply c you the next yoar to apply to my cottoi crop. Yours very respectfully, HENEY C. DAVIS. Rocky Mount, Edgecomb Co., X. C. Xov li James R. Dey, Esq. Sir: In reply to your Inquiry of tho rc suits of our experience in tho uso of you improved Poudretto-purchased of you fe this year's cotton crop-wo would bog leav to say that tho present season bas bee one quito nufavorahlo to tho action of a fertilizers. Several kinds of manures wero used I) ?B, with tho exception of your Poudretti witfl little or no effect to tho crop.
