At ! the time of application, so unp ron.is.ng was the : appearance oi ine growing wneai, in. a my man ! ager and myself thought it almost a wasto of mo ney and labor to try this experiment ; but ti3 the rest of my crop did not require any manure, I ring a full setting of clover. My mode of application was as follows: To each 200 lbs. of guano I added 2 bushels of ashes and a bushel of plaster mixed intimately, and then sown broadcast, at the rate of six and a ball bushels per acre, harrowed in with a light harrow. This application was made in March, and the early part of April, and in less than three weeks af'or the application, the wheat had undergone an entire change, from a yellow, sickly color, to a dark luxuriant green. The application hud evi dently infust d new life and vigor into the plants, ami, as the result proved, very nearly or quite doubled its product. So much for the crop of wheat; but what was still more valuable to me, in mv system ol tanning, it line wise secured lor in-- a lull crop of clover, which would certainly have failed but for this application. I applied one tun of this guano, mixed in the same way, to a srmill field of oats. I plowed this under with a smail plow, together with the oats ; the result was equally gratifying. My chief object in this last experiment was to secure me a small field of clo ver le'nr my stables, und in this I fully succeeded, which I feel assured I should not have done but for the guano. My brother and myself have made various experiments of late years with gu ano, and concur in the testimony of all these who have tested its value, can fully and judiciously, in pronouncing it to be the niot expeditious renova tor of the soil within the farmer's reach; and ex clusive of the larm yard, the most economical of all manures. In proof of my conviction of its value to me, I shall this fall give you an order for twenty or thirty tuns more. 1 will only add that I onsider every w heat grower w ho would study bis own interest, will find it by trying similar ex periments. J. P illock JJikgw yn. Since writing ihe above, Mr. B. has been in this ! ritv. and in conversation wi h him he tMu-H a f.ei which makes this point much stronger. After or- dering the guano, he left home, giving his farm manager orders lo -apply it to that particular piece pf wheat as soon as it ariived. Owing to the fact that the seed was injured that the land was in h v,,rv unfit condition, from noveriv and drouth tn i j : produce a crop ol wheat, it had assumed such a ; miserable appearance before t'-e arrival of the . jjuano, that the manarer wrote to Mr. I. his rmm- . . " ion of the utter folly of applying anything so ex pensive to a crop already struck with death. Not imagining how very unpromising was the prospect of success, Mr. B. immediately wrote to him to do as directed. Before the application was com pleted, he returned home, and his first imnression was to step the work at once, and give up the field !1S lost : hut on examining the effect upon that .' & I pari where the guano was first applied, he found it had already infused new vigor into the plants, i for they had put oT their sickly yellow color, and taken on a vigorous green ; and, therefore, he decided at once to go on, which, as will be seen by the result, was a most valuable decision. From personal knowledge of this very field, we are confident it would not have yielded, without ihe guano, one-hall of seven bushels. It is a flal surface, clayey loam, and badly affected by ihe winter rains, and such freezing and thawing as it had during the last severe w inter. Besides, a few years since, w hen it came inio the possession of Mr. Burgwyn, it was one of those old worn out, skinned-to-deaih places, so common in that State, which all ihe deep plowing and good farming of that gentleman had not been able to restore, until he luckily hit upon guano ; which, notwithstand ing the most unfavorable circumstances, has giwn l- ' ' , c.rcumstan -es, hm co"c,US1 Pro' mfslimable vt alue To say nothing of the ten bushels of wheat per acre. ! which we are confident he sained, the clover is l i i , . . wtw,B.roore a" g'no cost ; and wilhout it, j one might almost as soon expect to grow clover upon Coney Island beach, as upon that field. This letter contains tesiimony of value, as it comes from a gentleman of intelligence and care ful observation, who is devoted to his profession oi a farmer, and who has been one of the most successful renovators of worn out plantations in the South.

From the Richmond Enquirer. The Politii al Priesthood. The Richmond Christian Advocate administers a just though severe rebuke to the political priest hood of New Er.glnnd. In 'ntruducing an extract from the able article in the Advocate, we cannot forbear an expression of gratification at the manly find patriotic stand w hich the Methodists of the South have assumed and maintain in the contro versy between Northern fanaticism and Southern slavery. Rather than yield one jot of Southern j Rulits or submit to any imputation on the oouinern character, the Methodists of the Smith choose to rend asunder that vast and powerful organization j which held the first place among the religious . communities of the country, and which, ty us ze.n and energy, had won a noble position in the van guard of American civilization and Christianity. Since the division in their Church, the Methodist Ministry in the South have been conspicuous for their devotion to the rights of the South. The Advocate makes the follow ing criticism on the re monstance of the New England clergy against the Nebraska bill : This is a sad affair, not for the country, but for Christianity, so shamefully outraged in the "House of its friends.' Professionally we cannot be sup posed to feel indifferently towards the ministerial character. When in their place engaged in their appropriate work, no class of men in the country is more highly esteemed than ministers of the gospel. But when they turn aside from their holy employments, and descend into ihe arena of party political strife, they defile their mission, and lay their honor in the dust. Instead of "washing their hands in innocency" they soil them with worldly filth, and stain tlem with crime against their country's peace. They richly merit I ho rebukes administered by gentlemen of the Seyiate, and musl blame themselves, if, hereafter, they find them selves shunned as disturbers of the public peace, and the religion they profess and teach suspected of having too much to do wi'h the world that now is, and too lilile with that which is to come. My kingdom is not of this world," said Christ, "if it were then would my servant fight." We write more in sorrow than in anger when we express the belief that this furious conglomeration of every shade of religious opinion and ecclesiastical polity against the Nebraska bill has more of earth than heaven, of time than eternity, in its elements and objects, and has a higher veneration for men's judgments, than for God s, notwnhstanding their seeming impression that his judgments are sub ject to the impertinent and vindictive movements of their own. They can consort, sgree and act I Chase and he are expected to be at Columbus to with a masive openness in this case, but if the j gether about this time. The hero of San Jacinto question concerned the sending of a missionary to ihe Chinese, thev could not be word into the same building together, or brought w ithin bow shot of each other without vexations, disputings, and; sectarian wrartglings. We utter this opinion with profound humiliation, but with as profound a con viction of its truth and justice. It is painful to witness such a desecration of ministerial character, to watch the movements of men, of whom better things might be expected, eng iged in a crusade i against the rights of the South, and trailing their; priestly garments in the dust to accomplish objects ! not mentioned in their commission, and never dreamed of in the acts and writings of the apostles. These a re the evil works that endanger our glorious Federal Union. Blinded with passion, and with far less reason1 for resentment than Samson for the loss of his eyes, they seize the pillars of the temple and seek to bring it a mass of ruins upon their own heads. If is to these clerical aeitators. with their ceaseless brayings against the South we must ascribe the opinion, now wide-spread, and constantly strengthening and deepening in the public mind that there is something more sacred than the union of these States, and something a great deal more to be dreaded than their dissolu- lion. If the conception reaches its consummationl in the dissolution of our Federal compact, the evil, and ail the disastrous convulsions attendant upon it, must be ascribed to the evil machinations of those ministers who, as in the cases before us, turn aside from the peaceful pursuits of their calling to engage in reckless politico,' brawlings and to prosecute ruthless invasion of the rights of others. Origin of the "Aztec" Children. A cor respondent of the Athentenum, UDder the signature Francais, of A. de L. has published, in the number of 11 ih February, an article on the Aztec children, of which the following is a translation, slightly abridged: tkTho two children exhibited in Europe are neither Lilliputians, Aztecs, sacredotals, na tives of Iximaya, nor belonging to an extraordinary race of men ; neither do they come from the re- Public ol Guatemala. Here is their history: in lh;- department of San Miguel, in a village called t i, - rT , . .. La I uerty, near the town of Lsulutan, there lives a married mulatto woman, mother of these two little children, who pass among us for phenomena, as well as a third infant, belonging to the same woman, like e two others, and who will certainly become a Lilliputian Aztec, if any kidnapper wishes to m ike himself its patron. Don T.aimond Selva, a native of Nicaragua, wishing to make a speculation of these two curious children, obtained them from the mother for some ounces of gold, lour or five years ago; and having thus acquired them, he started with them for ihe United Stales, taking at the same time a wolf, a white strg, and some monkeys. On hi arrival at San Ju ui del Nicaragua, these curiosities passed, we know not how, into the fiands of an American. Since then ihe agent of Senor Sefva has solicited from the government of the State of Salvador documents which prove that his client is owner of the children and animals; and (he administration has authen ticated the testimony presented by the agent." Scots man. Greely. The following from the New York Day Book is very severe, but too good to be lost : The reason for Greeley's insane sympathy for the negroes is, that he is himself a negro of the species called the Albine. Naturalists, in speaking of this peculiar tribe of while negreoa, de scribe Greely exactly: " thick white skin, white hair, reddish eyes, shambling frame and iaatf. va. r1llt lrlf.i.- V a .ncn.'n " - . We therefore must for- ( give Greely fir all bi vagaries iu behalf of his kinky-headed brethren.' Nieho!.ii , Emperor of Russia, was born July 6.h, and is now 59 years old. From the South Carolinian. Washington Correspondence. Washington, March 27, 1854. Although the Nebraska bill has been consigned to the tomb, at least for a time, it is yet the sub ject which every one seems disposed to enjoy the freedom of, which its present situation allows, to all who ure for or against its adoption. Mr. Cut ting, of New York, to whom is to be attributed the present situation of the bill, will not, it is sup posed, be allowed to assume the leadership of the cohorts in opposition. He has opened the eyes of many of those who before were disposed to act with him. But he is no longer the oracle. The bill will pass. Mr. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, made a very eloquent speech in favor of the brV, in which he scathingly alluded to the pretended friendship of Mr. Cutting to Ihe measure, though it would seem to indicate a very decided hostility either to the measure itself or the administration parly who advocate it. Mr. B. is the administration lender in the House, and this effort is considered worlhy of the reputation lie acquired during the last Con- Mr. Cuttinir. it is said, will reply to Mr. B., and place himself and the wing of the party which he assumes to be ihe leader of all right on the non intervention question. The Badger proviso finds some opponents in the House among those subtile and finessing hair splitters that are constantly in terposing trivial objections to the vital principles of the bill. Mr. Millson, of Virginia, spoke against that provision of the bill. The outsiders have not entirely kept without the vortex of excitement on the question. Ex Senstor Clemens, of Alabama, in a letter addressed to the Huntsville Democrat, is represented by the opposition as retailing a conversation between him and the President, in which he says "that the true men of the North ought to accppf it, and the South should reluctantly do so. The opposition of each surprises him. This, in substance, is denied by the ex Senator as the proper construc tion of his letter; and in this morning's Union states that he "may have misunderstood the Presi dent," and probably did, as he (the President) has always expiessed his favor of the bill, and thai whatever may be the practical operation of it, neither party should complain. The doctrine that the people of the territories should regulate the j question of slavery for themselves he (the ex-Sena lor) disputes. Gen. Sam Houston has left Washington for the northwest on an electioneering four. Senator : is certainly in oad company for a true Southern ' man. He bids high for the Presidency. Who I knows the purchaser ? The New Hampshire election was for some days suspended in doubt, for which uneasiness was manifestly doing its work on ihe unwavering of the North. However, since its result has become known, a better feeling exists, and many who voted for its commitment will support it on iis final passage. It seems that Edmund Burke, of New Hampshire, who was represenied as the great advocate of the measure, has been properly shown up as in deadly hostility to it, although his pre tensions to the contrary have been so flatteringly announced. The friends of the Gadsden treaty are endea voring to prepare it for certain ratification. Its postponement might jeopardize its fulfillment by ihe Mexican government, Santa Anna not being regarded as secure in his position The Eastern question seems to claim some re marks from the general observation on matters of political importance, as may ultimately effect our neutrality. Mr. Spence, our Minister to Turkey, is condemned for his allusion to the difficulties at present existing with Russia, to which he offers the flattering expression of gratification at the realization o( the Sultan's most sanguine hope of the result of the conflict. Judge Butler, in a few forcible remarks made in the Senate on Monday, alluded to the event of Russia being crushed by England and France. With the ir victorious armies, gloa'ing for con quest, we might expect that interference wiih our islands which is already tpprehended. With so many allusions to our present weakness in the most important arm of the service, the navy, it is strikingly manifest that no regard is paid to its better preparation for what we can scarcely hope to escape. Distribution. A bill was recently introduced into Congress to give alternate sections of land to Minesota, when Mr. Kerr moved an amendment that the reserved sections should be sold and the proceeds paid over to those Slates which have received no grants of the public lands. For this amendment many Southern Demoarats voted, and the Whig press is looming upon it as -an acknowledgment by them of the principle of distribution, while the fact is they only voted thus in order to kill the bill.

We are indebted to a gentleman of this city for the perusal ofa letter from a very reliable source, dated Paris, March 2d which contains sotua as tounding intelligence. The Emperor of Russia, il appears, has become disgusted with the Course which Austria and Prussia have pursued towards him in the controversy with Turkey, and ha se ceded from his old alliance und compact with them as to Poland and Hungary. He has issued a ukasa reviving the Kingdom of Poland, and placing his third son on the throne of fht ancient kingdom. As a conseq uence of I his measure he intimates that Prus-ia and Austra will be compelled to relinqurah their share of the dismembered kingdom, which, W is said, by the Czar, they unjustly hold. This is certainly a bold and masterly stroke. It will com pel Paussia and Austria to join the Cznr in an alli ance against England, France and Turkey, or force them into an isolated and impracticable at titude ofa third prty in a duello. It is impossi ble for f ranee or England to give their aid, smy pa thy or countenance to Prussia and Austria in an attempt to hold on 10 the Grand Duchies, which they so nefariously seized and lore from Poland. The two former nations are too s:rongly commit ted in favor of Poland to be drawn into ruch a scheme. The people of those twocounrlies would rise tn masse and abandon the Turks and their cause in resisting any such movement, and Louis Napoleon would not dar to resist the claim which his illustrious uncle acknowledged as one, tho weight of which oppressed him more than any Other obligation he had ever felt, of that Polish n; tonality. Thus the Czar must disgust the Eng lish and French wiih iheir position ; at the same time he secures himself in his weakesl point. He quiets and reconciles the Poles, delivering the pro tection ot their rights, and the .security of their na tionality into their rights, and ihe security of their nationality into their ow n hands. Thus he is side to diaw off his vast armies to maintain his position and advance his claims below the Danube. At the same time, he enfeebles Austria by withdraw ing al! protection of her from claims to Hungary, Hnd rendering it necessary that the Austrian army should he concentrated on its Northern frontier, to protect its Polish possessions. Austria must give up the one or the other. Hungary with her ten millions of diaaflected and warlike inhabitants, will need no better opportu nity of striking another blow for her independ ence, than when Austria is thus engaged or em barrassed, and ihe Czar stands aloof an indiffer ent spectator nay more, a sympathizer and en courager. Should this stole of affairs follow, the Czar of Russia, instead of being the chief reliance ol absolutism in Europe, will prove the most effi cient agent of liberalism and nationality. Those who were in such a haste to denounce Russia, ami take sides with England and France, will thus find themselves in a very peculiar and embarrassing position. We shall, however, be confirmed in onr original and unchanging position, that the policy of Russia better deserves tho sympathy and sup port of our people, and thai her alliance is morn to be desired bv our nation, than that of tho other powers of Europe. The following is the extract from the letter which states the facts on which we have commen ted : (translation.) Pahis, March 2. I have just time to announce to you news, th consequence of" which may be in calculable. The re-establiahment of the kingdom of Poland is decreed by a ukase of ihe Czar, tho notification of which has jiMt been made to Prussia and Austria, in answer to the abandonment those iwo powers have evinced towards him. The Em. peror's third son, Nicholas, will be King of Poland, (n breaking with the two despoiling powers, he tells them. " As to the parts of Poland you un fairly possess, w hether you retain them is a ques tion that regards yourselves, and for which you will be responcihle," We may, therefore, expect the speedy re-union of the Grand Duchy of Posrn and Gallicia without the influence or action of eith er Poles or Russians. In a short time you will see Hungary in arms, raising up again the prostrate standard of thir na tionality without the protection of Russia. Tho conclusion of all this is, lhat Frauce and England, who ought to have laken in hand the cause oi ihrBO two nationalities, have denied their political law, and deserted their principles in submitting to tho alliance of Austria, and that henceforth the strug gle can no longer b doubtful. The Emperor of Russia has thus made a great political move, and on the eve of the great battle he has placed the stake on his aide. Sick Heaoachb. Thn following cure for the sick headache was furnished lo ihe Boston Medical Journal by Dr. N. S. Folsom, of Portsmouth, New Hampshire : " Ta ke a ny nuin her of drops of I he Crolon oil, mix them with flour amd molasses, and make as many pills as drops of the oil used. When the patient begins to feel the sick headache coming on, one hali of a pill is to be laken every hour in molasses, or something of like consistence, until it acts st a cathartic ; and thus treut the tick headache at each attack. If thus taken, each attack will be lest se vere, and in some cases a few dotes produce a per manent cure. He seems to think the Crolon oil acts in three ways; 1st. By increasing the se cretions ; 2d. By counteracting the a mi - parietal -tic action of the stomach mid bevels; and 8d, by acting as a counier-irrilant to rite brain."
