It was known to Geber In tbe ninth osntnry, bat was not distinguished from soda antil 1798 by Margrag. Its name is derired from two English words, pot and ashes, because the English wore tbe first to prepare this alkali; industrially by leaching the ashes ofregetation and evaporating the eolation in pots. There are three principal sources of potash: felaspatbic and granitic rocks, the deposits of rock salt and sea water. Granites whichlfonn whole chains of mountains and Ihe greater part of the crust of tbe earth contain 15 to 20 per cent, of potash in an Insoluble state, it is true, but which can be extracted as needed and made perfectly soluble. Deposits of rock salt, containing much potash, hare been formed by the drying of inland seas, leaving a de posit of ail tbe salts they held in solu lion. These were large salt lakes whose bottoms were above the level of the snrrounndlng waters. The Caspian sea on acooant or its great depth is still a type of these Interior teas. There are important mines of rock salt as Vleliczka in PolandjOt Cordona Catalonia and Stassfnrt in Prussia, and in America. At tbe Universal Expo sition In 1867, at Parish, we saw an immense arch which Prussia bad made in her section with blocks of rock hhIi like shaped stones. If the deposits of rock salt actually known were concentrated in one part of the globe, they would cover a piece of ground 120,000 yards wide, 80,000 yards long and 300 "feet thick. This mass of soda and potash does not rep resent tbe two hundredth part of these salts contained in the waters covering oar globe. Potash is also fonnd abundantly in tbe form of a nitrate fKo. No. 5.) on certain soils during the dry aeason in Bengal, Efcyfrt, at Ceylon, and in some warm parts of America. But sea water alone Is an inexhaustible source of potash. Formerly sea water was thrown back In the sea after cooking ■alt was extracted. Tbe usefulness and even the presence of other salts was not suspected. Sea water, wlicu oonccntraten, deposits its salts accord ing to their degreos of solubility. Sul ohate of lioM. which Is almost insolu ble, la first deposited, then cooking ■ait, or chloride of sodium, then sulphate of soda, and lastly the double chloride of potassium and magnesia. Ia the deposits of rock salt we find tbe salts deposited according to order of •olnbillty jnst as we see it now from The emi ■alt seas. The eminent French chem ist, Mr. Balard, was the first to find a method of extracting chloride of potas sium from tea water. This salt is nteftal only for Its potash, but for agricultural purposes Its valne is of the first order. Ordinary sea water contains a two thousandth of its own weight in it. In treating nitrate of soda by chlo ride of potassium we obtain nitrate of pet ash, also called nitre or saltpetre. Nitrate of potash it a perfectly crystal lixed salt, aaaily worked and ought always to be used to fhrnish the potash for chemical fertilizers. It is suitable for all culture^ except perhaps for sugar beets. This exception was dis covered by Prof. George Vi lie. The juice of tbe beet grown with ahloride of potassium is purer and crystalizes better; grown with nitrate of |>otash a part or tbe juice takes the form of glucose or uncrystalized sugar pre vents the orystalizing ofanother pound of crystalixabl9 sugar. This is due to the fact that in the form of a nitrate tbe potash remains in the body ot the beet and passes into the juioe, injuring its crystalixatlon, while in the form ol a chloride tbe potash towards the close ot the summer rites into the crown of tbe plant and into its leaves which are cut away when tbe beet is nulled. The potash in chloride or potassium is cheaper than in nitrate of potash, but tbe chloride must not be used for certain cultures, aud Us introduction into the fbrtillzer unknown to the buyer, Is a real deception. Chloride of potassium should never be used for tobacco and Irish potatoes. Nitrate of potash, besides being ap plicable to ail plants, with the excep tion of sugar beets, is more valuable, in that it contains two active elements —potash and nitrogen. It frirnisbes potash bv its base aud nitrogen by its aeid. The nitrate of potash of com merce contains 44 per cent, of pure potash and 13 per cent, of nitrogen, whose valne is to be deducted m>m tbe net cost of tbe potash. The chlo ride of potassium contains 50 per cent, of pure potash. Potash is indispensable to the soil, ami not only for the real part it takes ia the formation of vegetation, its use goes further. '1 be phosphates of lime and magnesia insoluble in water, meet ing the potash, form the double phos phates of lime aud potash which are soluble and can pass into the plants. Nitrate of potash ia used in the com position of gunpowder to as much as three-fourths of its weight, making the nitrate scarcer and more costly at times. When the government makes its purchases tbe price rises for awhile. This is one fhet more to increase the antagonism between war and agricul ture. Otherwise. fttAfnesla always no- cOaipaniea lime in natareos soda always accompanies potash. Sulphate of lime undgergocs a slow but continued decomposition in the soil. It fires the carbonate of am monia resulting from rain water and organic detritus. It also forms some Hulphato of ammonia and carbonate of lime. There is no doubt of the enor mous quantity of sulphuric acid which vegetation requires and which plaster can frtmish it. The proportion of sulphuric acid in a crop of lucerne and rape goes as high sometimes as 33 to 44 pounds per acre. In cabbage it goes up to 176 pounds per acre. Burnt plaster is composed of So!ph u rlc acid 46 51 Lime.*. 32 56 Water * .20 114 UME. Lime is formed by the combination of tbe metal calcium with oxygen. Chemically speaking, it is the oxyde of calcium. It exists in such large quan tities in nature that It is impossible to name the quantity. Marbles, plasters and ealoerous matters are in incalcula ble quantities ia all parts of the globe. As wo have already said, lime is the dominant of no plant, but is necessary to all. It not oaly enters into the oonstMutiott of Um plant, but its tew—— la tbe soil improves It. Cal- caraous pcvtletes, separating the more or less compact mass of the soil, makes it tighter and thus help the roots to peaotrate with greater ease. By the medium of plants, lime passes into tbe organism or man and animals to form tholr bones. In countries where lime is wanting, the animals are small and “I terms?; the 100 (H) in 100. 120 degrees it At a temperature of loses water and becomes rooked plas ter or anhydrous sulphate of lime with the ability to reabsorb water if added to it. Then it is ground to a fine pow der and is ready either for manufac turing or for agriculture. It contains 59 per cent, of sulphuric and 41 per cent, of pure lime or oxyde of cal Hum. Lime is the cheapest term of the com- l»Iete fertilizer. Pulverized anhydrous plaster should always cuter to a slight excess in chemical fertilizers where it acts sev eral useful parts. It is a fertilizer and an excipient. It helps to Improve (ho soil, gives ihe necessary volume to the ferlilizcr and makes it easier to handle. We see that the four agents of fer tility, nitrogen, phosphoric acid, potash In inc and lime, exist In inexhaustible quan tities on the globe and can always be got at. When you have got the first ingi-edients of a fertilizer, the prepar ing is a simple mixture based upon the nature ot the culture in view. The fertilizer holds the active principles of the substances composing UIXINO OK CHEMICAL KEUTII.IZEH3.

THE OKKICE OK WATER. The surface of the globe is composed of two couches or layers—one melted, the other crystallized. In the melted couche the lime, iron, soda and potash are all combined with silicia and con gealed in blocks. This is chaos and Inertia. In the crystallized couchc there is sediment; water has interven ed ; there has been a separation of cer tain bodies and a reunion of others. A rudimentary chemical fertilizer lias formed naturally and become the theatre of the first manifestations of vegetal life. It has not always rained on the earth. At a time (geologists have uot yet determined the period) the £as which enveloped the earth, and which later was to form air aud water, was hold off at a great distance and very much dilated by the high temperature of the central neucleus. Water was not then formed, and had it been in the form of vapor it could no more have rested on the incandescent globe than the dew can rest on a red-hot cannon hall. When the terrestrial surface was congealed and cooled, the sun was the only remaining source of aclive heat; gaseous matters came nearer. Hydro gen and oxygen combined (probably with a combustion that long gave our planet the appearance of a sun,) and foamed water which began to run on the wrinkled crust of the globe, at times tossed up and at times depressec by the convulsions of the interior fires which gradually grew more circum scribed in action. Water flowed into the deeper parts and accumulated in large cavities washed them deeper an< overflowing the higher parts, washec up the igneous matters lying below In this way seas and continents were formed. Solar radiations crossed the layers of the atmosphere where they were thinnest over sheets of water am warmed its surface. Aqueous vapors rose imperceptible to reassemble as clouds. The clouds, put in motion just as they arc now, were carrier across coutiuents to he dissolved as rain. The rains falling on this miner al ernst ended by dissolving ant washing it down. It disintegrated the crests of mountains, furrowed their sides, carried down the soluble salt o ‘ lime, potash aud soda, and mixing al these ageuts with the powdered debris it carried down, composed the arable ■oils of the valleys. Fertility was established; the vegetal kingdom np peared. As the table was spread the guests could be seated. The guests came. Plants were born by reason af his physiologic axiom: As soon as thes necessary conditions for the formation of a being are found united, the being is born. Let us go back in thought to the chaotic period when the still burning globe, throwing out fire from all its centers, moved an uninhabited mass through celestial space. It perhaps took thirty millions of centuries to prepare the medium for the first usefu vegetation. An iminenfo and slow fallow which science to\iav accom plishes instantaneously. There was then ueither humus nor mahure; what are we to think of the short-sighted routine minds of to-day who still believe these two substances indispen sable to vegetation? It was the intervention of water which most contributed to disintegrate and prepare this granitic crust, a sort Of mineral almond cake bound together by meltic silicia. and it is water which still dissolves the elements of the fer tilizer which takes them up and dis tributes them through tbe issues of vegetation and oontribates eight-teuths of tbe constitution of living beings. To satisfy all tbe world we must have water everywhere, but at different times and seasons. Ancient poetry well and gracefrilly expressed the supreme power water exercised over life. Venus is born of the sea; this is the most sublime allegory the human mind ever conceived. Venus, love, beauty, fruitfrilneM; always beautifril, always young, ceaseless mother of loving beings, and all powerful in her glorious simplicity. Such was the earth, arising from the midst of LYNCH LAW IN RMKFIELD. HHSPKCTBD MURDKKKK SHOT DEATH BY MASKED MEN.

C., September 23.—The lieyirtcr in its issue of September tStb contained an account cf the dastardly work of the assassin who robbed young Hammond of his Kfc on the night of 12th instant, since which time the people in the neighborhood of Mrs. Culhmith’s, at whose house the mur der was committed, have been wild with excitement. t? Yesterday morning Trial .luMico 1*lover issued a warrant for the arrest of O. T. (Julhrcnth, and a deputy sheriff brought him to the village the same evening, without resistance on Ids part. On the arrival of the prison er at the Court House he was asked to bo allowed a consultation with his lawyers, Messrs. Gai-y & Evans, to whose offled they proceeded. In a very few minutes thereafter several masked men rushed into the office and demanded the prisoner at the muzzle of their revolvers, whereupon Mr. Cnl* breath tired upon Ids assailants and in return was shot in flic right arm, breaking the same above the elbow. The crowd was overpowering in num bers and they succeeded with little difficulty in capturing their victim, who whs carried a short distance from the village ant! shot several times. The shooting, it is said, could be heard from Edgefield. The sheriff, failing to collect a posse sufficient to reclaim his prisoner in time to save him, proceeded with two or three others In the direction from whence the sounds of the pistol shots came, but ere they readied the fatal spot they met (lie object of the lynchers’ hatred toddling his way back to (lie village, drenched in Ids life’s blood. Ho received all the assistance that the faithful sheriff could render and was soon under the treatment of Drs. Hill and dennings. (Jnlbrenth was the hus band uf Mrs. Fannie C’nlbrealh, a very estimable lady, who, it is said, lie treated very badly, consequent upon which they separated and had not lived together for two years. This, together with the slanderoqs reports Culbrcath about his wife and the open threat that he would kill Hammond, left no doubt in the minds of Hammond’s friends that Uulbreath was the perpetrator of the foul murder. It is the peevafhnsr opinion that Mrs Culbrcath was faithful to her marriage vows and that the reports of incon staucy circulated by her husband were the outgrowth of a jealous heart. Culbrcath lived until about 4 o’clock pro- He said that he recognized two of Ids assailants, but their names are with held. Old citizens pronounce this the first lynching that ever occurred in the county. We hope never to have another. Clinton ward, September 23.-The pronosed indignation meeting at Edge field in regaruto the Culbreath affair was not held, but was postponed. The jury of inquest will resume its sitting to-morrow and will try to render verdict. Excitement runs high and everybody throughout the surrounding country seems to be open mouthed in denouncing the outrage. Some parties arc spoken of as the perpetrator of this awful deed and there is some talk of arrests. The affair is to be much re greitod, as all the families concerned arc among tiie best in the county. Tkknton, September 24.—Tbe jury in the coroner’s inquest over the body of Culbreath, who fell a victim to lynch law, convened to-day, and Mr James Mims, a very reliable young man, gave as evidence, in a fearless and commendable manner, that ou the day of tbe lynching he was at Antioch Church, about eipht miles from the court-house, making some repairs on bis father’s grave, when lie noticei passing in easy hearing distance some eight or leu mounted men, some of whom were partially disguised, though not sufficiently so to avoid iiftntifica tion; that some of them spoke to him calling him, calling him by name Those whom lie mentioaed as rcco nized by him are Joseph Talbsrt, L.

Stale Convention at imm- tnffn-They Take Up tlm Refrain of the Uloody-Shiri Howl. V Sakatoha, N. if., September 22.— The Republican State Convention met here to-day to nominate the following ticket: Governor, Lieutenant Gover nor, Secretary of State, Comptroller, Attorney General, Troo-uror and State nginccr and Surveyor. At 12.20, p. m., James D* Warren, Chairman of i he State Committee, called the con vention to orilcr.- The Itov. Dr. 8. V. Leach, of Albany invoked the Divine blessing upon the iahora of the con vention. He implored that the hands of the President and other ‘members of the Federal Government be upheld by gra -c from above. Tiie reverend gen tleman also alluded to tlm delegates lircseut as “representatives of tho par ty which blottid out tho irrcligion of slavery from tiie nation.” Tho roll having liqteii called, Chair man Warren aunouuced that the State Committee iiad agreed upon Senator Warner Miller for temporary chair itiun of the convention. (Applause.) The chair appointed Hon, A. B. Cor nell ami United States Senator El- bridge M. Lnpliam to escort him to the chair. Hefei-ring to the political com- Mexion of the Southern States, Mr. Miller maintained that throughout tbe length and breadth ot that laud there wasn’t to be found a single govern ment which holds the reins by the will of the people. “The Uepulilicans, he said, “to t no’t* this s'.atemenl only asked lor a fair field and a fair fight.” Continuiag, in reference to alletrcd illegal balloting in the South, Mr. Miller said that (he men who have managed the polls in that section would not continue to do the work without pay. Upon tiie question of the civil service of the government Mr. Miller said the Republican party hat put the law into practical use and were committed to it. He would suggest, however, that the Civil Service Com mission be at once summoned together and directed to add a clause providing s To Got Rid of Mlsory.

Immedi atelv thereafter ox-Assemblyman Davie Healy, of Monroe, was voted permis sion to address the convention. He warned the convention that mere prom ises were useless. Tiie convention (Democratic) that meets to-morrow might outbid the one that adjourns to-day. Gen. Sharp rose at the close of Mr Healy’s address and moved that the committee on resolutions be instructe< to consider the points raised, and, if deemed advisable, embody them in the platform. Tiie chairman of the commit tec on resolutions, Col. Bliss, repiiet that the platform had already agreed upon. He believed that the laboring men would find on reading it that the points raised by Mr. Healy had been fully recognized. The com mittee on resolutions then, through Chairman Bliss, reported the platform When tho clause rotating to prefer cnce of office to be given ex-soldiers was read Corporal Tanuor, of Brook lyn, inquired if that meant that if soldier passed examination that prov ed his competency lie should be ap pointed, even if a college graduate yesterday should pass at higher fig ures. “It does,” quickly replied Co .

It is ;ms8il)le that money ,lip|>e<l into a bounteous supply of printer's ink, is to be used to toacli false ideas. Why is it that such persistent anathema* should all at once be hurled against the use oft"Potash and Potash Mixtures?” Those who insist that Potash is a poison do so because that is the way they have of fighting B. B. B., ns the latter contains potash properly combined. Opium, morphine, strychnine, aconite, whiskey, etc., are all deadly poisons, and are daily destroying the lives of people, and why do not these men cry out against them? It is Itecause there is no money in sight to do so. Potash is ivt regarded as a poison, amU very seldom harms any one; out those who abuse it are using a vegeta ble poison ten times as violent Iodide of Potash, in proper combination, is regarded by the medical profession as the quickest, grandest and most powerful blood remedy ever known to man. Those who believe in revealed combinations and Indian foolish ness are surely in a condition to become rather “cranky” in their ideas at any time. We assert unnerstandingty that Potash, as used in the manufacture of B. B. B., is not a poison, and tho. public need uot plaee any confidence In assertions to tiie contrary. Why i* it 4ha* in one thousand letters which we receive \\« n-rer hear a word against its use? The truth is; B. B. B. is working such wonders in the cure of all bio*! poisons, sen fula, rheumatism, ca tarrh, etc., that others are trembling in their hoots, and cry aloud, “poison,” “fraud,” because they fear its triumphant manh litany man or woman ask any respeetalde doctor or druggist if we are not right. Do not be deceived, but go right along and call for B. B. H., and be cured. It is making five times more cures in Atlanta than all otlier blood remedies Combined. Wc don't say that others are poisons or frauds; we are not that easily alarmed, but we say ours is the best, and we have the proof, bend for our 32-page book, free, and be convinced, bold by all druggists.
