The following remarks on the quality of this article we take frun the Baltimore Times .

But \e are not lo be dependant hereafter en tirelyph Pera fcjr oar supply ofibis valuable fertilrfer. The ditcrprise ot oufin^rahunts has been'wakened fo find new sourees supply, and ii has beenjrewarded in the distlovery of Guan deposits,; to some considerable extent, withii thirty days sail of Baltiimire^ The guano ths obtained has been analysed by the best ^ricultural chemists, both in thja country iniJffHfrghfhd, and pronounced tojbe a very usefuland valuable fertilizer, containing but one-hlf per cent of sand, and in moat cases 65 to 70pho*phate of lime, the essential element of what, barley, corn, ana oilier grain, which emita> in some cases as much as ninety-five per c^t of phosphoric acid as showu by anal ysia. I'his new and rich article of guano comes |h>m lie Gulf of Mexico and its vicinity, and is no\ being largely imported into this city, upwaj of two thousand tons being expected in tiip for the coming spring demand. It is sold If the various importers, put up in tight flour ?arrels, at ahout 3d dollars .per ton. lieig comparatively a new arlicle, it is, of coursj known practically to but few farmers, but werever used, particularly upon soils adapted hit, such as many parts of Ceeii, Harford arid rederic counties, in thij State, it has a I most .ivariably been attended witb llie most salisfbtory results. The entire sales of this guamiii the Baltimore market, for consumption, jnce its introduction, has been only about a thqsand tons. Most of this iias bite!) used purepr mixed with diluted oil of vitriol, dissolve bones, and other compounds, under the direuon of the State chemist, but little has beurnsed mixed with the Peruvian guano, as reeoitnanded by Dr. Iliggius, the StateAgricultutl chemist, tn bis List annual report to the Legiature. W here so mixed, it cannot but prove highly advantageous to the consumer, k> It it AoAAnnt / \f tkn in/1 lint i< .n nT aa?4 n nrl ia/iii ii nv.vvuiiv "i ihu i vuuviiwii wi vun| nuu in incased benefits to his lund. The. beneficial Bolts to the soil from the phosphate of lime ?i?g apparent the second and third year alter sapplication, while the ammonia, owing to itsolutile cluiracter, rapidly disappears into thetmosphere by evaporation. The phosphat?| not being volatile, remain in the soil unufiited by the atmosphere, or by "dampnessii any other than an advantageous manner, id are consequently adapted more or less to a!|oils ; the Peruvian guano contains but an fcrage of Sio per cent of phosphates. 'J 1| deficiency is amply supplied by the ?fiterfll Items. New Material for Paver.?We have j examined several samples uf paper madeol'rei or cane of a species whii-h grows in great abui ancein our Southern States; and also a sain| made by the same process fioui white pi shavings. In such an age of invention as ti incredulity is not to he tolerated; therefore 1 submit with the best possible grace even to t while pine. The reed paper is quite a prom ing article, approaching in quality, under t second experiment, to that on which the S is now printing,.both in color and texture. A other sample composed of nigs and reed*, 01 third of the former arid two-thirds of tlnrbai is quite a fine article, and its vnlttc is estnnat Hy the makers equal to that from rags woi 121 2 tenia per pound. The paper from pi shavings is designed for wrapping of enrelo paper; it was nrst Dieacneu aim men co;or i'or that purpose, ami is valued at 12 1-2 ceil per pound also.. Paper lias been made within ? few years pn from several substances, and with various si cess. A small quantity made from straw w recently worked in the regular edition of adi ly papc<- in a neighboring city, and as the i suit of an original experiment was consider quite encouraging. The effort now brought our attention ishighly credible and has the proi ise of entire success. The gentlemen enti.l to the credit of it are B. A. Lavender, esq. hi Mr. Henry Lowe, an analtioal chemist of ti city. They have been experimenting f?w son months upon the material employed making fi ished sample of paper from time to time, whi< we have occasionally seen and the improveme is considerable. They are sanguine that, wi proper apparatus, paper can be manafa^tur* of roeds or wood, as the main staple, by tlx p-ocess, worth 12-1 2 to 16 cents, and at cost not exceeding 6 1-4 cents per pound..
