UNION MEETINGS.
! By onr exchanges, we learn that tnlhueia*I
tie Union Meetinpa lmr? l>onn tinl.l In
! portions of the Northern States. The call for |
I the meeting in New York was signed by 20,000
citizens. Large meetings have been held
in Hartford and New Iluvi n, at which union
resolutions w-re adopted, and cordial sympathy
extended to Virginia. The meetings in Bos- ,
ton and Philadelphia, were the largent and ;
most enthusiastic ever known. But as it has j
been nbkeii on the floors of Congress and reechoed
by the .Southern journals, "What does j
| all this amount to} It aiTurds uo index of the
j ruling sentiment of the North. It is merely |
; the expression of the conservative element, j
; which is entirely powerless to stay the stronger :
will and resources of Northern abolitionism, |
and can only postpone for a brief season, the
moment when the South must prepare the
proper measures for her self preservation.

GREENVILLE AND FRENCH BBOAD BAILROAD.
Scxate. Friday, Dec. lfith.
The eperial order for 12m., wns thnn taken
up?a hill to nfTord nid to the "Greenville
and French Broad R-iilroad.
Mr. Marshall s?i<' tlmt ho desirofl to define
the position he held in regard to this bill, that
he win n friend of all iot erna) improvements.
Tlmt he hud always voted for t'hem, and thai
he was proud to say that his conscience had
never smitt??n him for one cent he had voted
to appropriate, lie tleitircd to see all internal
improvements prospering ; he now desired to
see four of those mrw 'btffore the Henate carried

the Imrlior of Charleston, the Greeirvflle and
French Hroad Jlailroad, n road which won hi
connect the Coalfields wilh South Carolina, and
the Ttlue Ridge Railroad. He bni?1 (hi* with
no desire of log-rolling;. for ss he said he was
:v friend of nil internal improvements which
lend to strengthen the State. lie said that hit)
only complaint against the Greenville and
French Broad Railroad, was that they naked
too little.
Mr. Paliocr paid : It 'trns not my intention to
have said a word on thin qui pi ion, hut tint Senator
frinii Al'lieville has thought proper to
clmrire upon tho.^e who are opposed to the
?l... u: i ... 1 !..? ?i ' -

the progress nod dcv?ilpment of theSiate. It
is not I he "first time that rh is charge'lin* been
mailt against. us, nnd tlie Senator disclaims
making tlie charge against infe. But I desire to
vindicate the party* fr<-m the charge also. I
shall not say anything for or n^aiuet the
(iivenvillo and French llrooJ Railroad. Its
claims have been most ably eel- forth by the
Senator from Spartanburg, and its advantages
stand in bold contract to those of another line
gaing to the West?with this question, I shall
have nothing to do for the present. Mr. Prcsii
_:n:?-i -
..v..v i ? uinijj u? snow my lianas Willi any
individual in (liis hotly, as to whether my course
on the subject of rnilroadb has been liberal or otherwise.
In 1827, when the question of building
the Louisville. Cincinnati nn.l Charleston Hailroad
was before the people, although a young
man at that time, I subscribed $.>,0<I0 to the enterprise.
Hut that undertaking stood on a very
different footing from the Blue Ridge Railroad.
Then there was an individual subscription of J(4,nOO.OyO
and but one million of State subscription.
Rut now condition of things is entirely
reversed. The individual subscription is coin........i..
.... .ii ?i .t- ?
..... ciM.nl, ami i.nt; oiuie !> required
to contribute largely to llie enterprise. From
that ilny to this, I linve repeatedly been engaged
-n the const ruction of railroads. and I have
always made it a rule when I advocated a road
lo pin my hands into myown pockets first, before
I called upon others to contribute. I nm
no advocate of that kitid of liberality which with
holds otie'x own money ?nd gives freely from the
Treasury of theStatc. This isnohaiuet?*r fur libL-rnlity
that, is very easily acquired. Believing,
as I do that if <be opponents of the Blue Ridne
wt-rcMr. I'resi leni judged by the stai.dard which
I have selected as imIc of action, thntjthey would
?om|>:ire l?vorai>ly with those who were its advocates,
I htive felt compelled to vindicate tlieni
friim tlie charge of a want of liberty and being
apposed to the progress of theStnto.
Mr. MhzvcIj said that lie felt less hesitation
in voting favorably upon this question than
:?11 the liltie Ridge, because it. mndrt a fairer
showing. ]kit the State was already at pr. nl
expense, and consequently he could not vote
for i.is road, until Ve saw whether I h? State
intended to vote aid to the Iilue Ridge, lie
could not vote for both.
Mr. I>antr.ler moved to amend, by striking
o*it $80,<?(,?<>, wherever it may oeeur in the bili,
and insert $g5,0'>i>. Agreed to.
Mr. Wagner asked whether the gauge wiis
not restricted in North Carol ina.and whet her,
at the completion of the road in North Carolina,
it is not the privileire of the Central Road.
of North Carolina, lo |>i:rchasc the whole.
Mr Cannon replied that they were holh true,
in part. The debate whs continued by Messrs.
Harrison. Boykin and Cannon.

that. RHODES' SUPER PHOSPHATE is
the only Manure the late eminent analytieal
Chemist, Professor Bickell, of Marylaud, pronounced
Standard !
and which has been confirmed by every section
into which this Manure has been introduced.
This Mauure ia sold undor a legul guarantee of
Purity and Freedom
FROM AIL ADlilTERATlOU!
from the eminent manufacturing chemists,
Messrs. PottH <fc Klett, tinder whose personal
supervision RHODES' SUPER PHOSPHATE is
manufactured. This Mauure has beeu used iu
South Carolina for seAeral years past, with
great success in the culture of Cotton and Corn,
and is now thoroughly established for ihes? important
staples. Do not l?t the present season
paw;without the experiment.

Dear Sir : Rhodes' Super-Phosphate lias been
applied by me I his year,on a small scale, to both
Corn and Cotton. The result cxceedep my txpectntion,
although the experiments, ior many
reasons, were not, und could not he conducted
with due caution ; yet I nm entire!)* satisfied,
tlifct the growth of weed, in both instant'.:1*, the
fruit in corn, and the number of bolls of cotton,
were fully double the yield in the portions uninsured,
and this when only a table-spoonful
of I lie Super Phosphvte was upplied as a topdressing
to each hill of corn, and n tea spoonful
to each ntalk of cotton?and the lust as late in
the eeasou as ihe 18th of July. Some of the
weed grew to nine feet high, with six fee',
bronchos, covered with bolls, while the unmanured
was not half ao good. It is in}- intention
next year, lo Jest it more fully.
Very Respectfully,
Your most oh't jerv't,

UEPORT OF ANALYSIS
OF
ROWXSOX'S MLMPLLATED GLAXO
FOR
FRANCIS ROBINSON, ESQ.,
BALTIMORE CITY.
A SAMPLE oftlie above which was taken at
your Mills, was found, upon analysis, to
be capable of producing of
Ammonia, ... 8.31 per cent
And to contain of
Bone Phosphate of Lime 45.82 " "
The above proportion of Ammonia and Bone
Phosphate of Lime is known to be most proper
for concentrated manures. Both theoretical
reasoning and the results of numerous prnclical
experiments have approved of it. An application
of'200 lbs. of tlii? article article per acre,
will supply more of Bone Phosphate of Lime
than is required by onjr crop?thu* leaving a
considerable surplus of this valuable nutriment
incorporated with the soil after cropping, and
will furnish a sufficient quantity of nntuionia to
to act u a nutriment ana stimulant.
CHAS. BICKELL, Ph. D.
EEPOBT OUST
MUNIPULATED GUAXO,
FOR
FBANCIS ROBINSON.
THE sample analyzed wns taken by myself
from the bags in the mill where the guano
was manipulated.
It contained of
Ammonia, ... 8.34 per cent
Pho*phorio Acid, - - 21.98 " "
Equivalent to
Bone Phosphate of lime 47.50 " "
It is therefore an excellent manipulated guand,
containing cnogh ammonia to produce a
rapid and vigorous growth, and sufficient
miHiitit v of DhosDhates to orevent exhaustion
of the toil
