In the beuate today, after the disposal
of the routine morning business, "'Mr.
Edmunds said as one of the important
committees of the ' Senate bad to go to
New Y ork today and other important
committees had considerable, work to do,
witnesses could be summoned who
would not be . recognized as old ac
quaintances. He could, therefore, only
lay down a few general propositions in
support of his views. He contended
that a commanding officer at a distance
front his superior must have some dis
cretion in obeying orders of that su
perior. The commander o( an isolated
corps, who would involve his command
in destruction, in blind obedience fo the
orders f a distant superior, would be
properly branded as incompetent and
unworthy. In 4is action Mr. Porter
had fulfilled the military requirements
of the situation. Whatever the condi
tion of his tredps might have been, the
he believed public business would be
best subserved bj the adjournment of condition of the road had been such that
the Senate: from this afternoon till Mon- no experienced officer would haveDlaced

The Senate yesterday passed without
amendment the House bill for the pay
ment of certain claims against the gov
ernment for property taken and used
by the army during the late war. The
bill is known as the fourth of July
claims-bill. r'
The Senate took up and passed, after
tome discussion, but without amend
ment, the' bill to regulate the promotion
of W est Point cadets. The effect of
the bill is that graduates become a part
of the army upon graduation, even
though no vacancies in the service may
exist.
At 2 o'clock. the education bill was
laid before the Senate and Mr. Morgan
took the floor on it. The bill, he said,
was a bill to create offices and elabor
ate machinery of government. It was a
bill to tax the honest, hard working man
in order to educate the children of the
drunken, loafing vagabond who would
not work for his family. If from the
60,000,000 people in the United States
were to be deducted all the dead-heads,
dead-beats - and j non-producers there
would be about 20,000,000 people
left who i would . have to pay
taxes to carry ; out the provisions
of 'this bill. The bill itself would be
equivalent to a ta of $3 per capita on
his force of 9000 men upon that road,
Mr. Steele, of Indiana,' opposed the
bill, beginning with the question. "What
inithunder are we here for? Why are
we discusainr Fiti-John Porter ?" He
held thafif iflwerehtdmitted that Gen.
Porter had not been disloyal to his
country, he had at least been disloyal
to Gen Pope, and hence his conviction
was deserved.: Mr. Bragg, of Wiscon
sin, defended Porter and supported the
bill. The speeches of these three gen
tlemen consumed the day's session. At
4.45 p. m. the committee rose and the
House adjourned.

P
constitutional ground for the bill, Mr.

found : in the general welfare clause
of the. preamble to the constitution.

argument Mr. Morgan spoke till 4.40

Messrs Blair, Pall and: George. At
that hour the Senate went into executive
session, and when the doors- were re
opened adjourned until Monday.

managed, and productive farm of all the

county agricultural society (Uhio). In
the spring of lood 1 purchased a Steel
plough (steel mould-board and chilled
iron point) and sent the same to my
tenant, with directions to plough a field
of the upland of eight acres seven inches
deep and sow in oats. Visiting the farm
when the ploughing was: nearly com
pleted, I found he bad only ploughed
to the depth of four inches, by reason of
the soil below being so hard that! the
plough would go no deeper. He sowed
that held in oats, and it bemg a good
season, reaped a fair crop.;- In the fall I
sent him a subsoil plough with, mv
home hired man and carriage horses. He
ploughed up the four inches, and my
team followed, loosening three inches
more. Next spring (1854) I again sent
out my team and subsoil plough, and!
the fine plough turned up the seven
inches while the subsoil plough loosened
three inches more that field and one
on the bottom land, were planted in corn,
and the season proved the: driest season
within my knowledge. In the fall
(1854) there was harvested on that. up-!
land field so subsoiled forty-five bushels
of shelled corn to the acre, and ! thirty-!
seven bushels in the botton land. That
subsoil plough was of iron, but I per-;
suaded one Mr. John L. Gill, the owner
of a foundry and an agricultual store,1 to
make steel subsoil ploughs, and used
one here eight years with great benefit
to my crops. ; - j
Professor Liebig, in his work on
agricultural chemistry, says that in
4,000. pounds of .stable manure : rotted
in the usual way there was only : 40U
pounds of real manure, the rest being
worthless, the ammonia (the real man
ure) having escaped with a bad odor in
the atmosphere, and that the application
of land piaster when the manure: was
fresh each time the stable was cleansed
would fix the ammonia into the: manure
heap and retain the fertilizing, qualities
and prevent the offensive odors M Lime
will also combine with the ammonia and
destroy the odor, but will form a gas
which - will escape( and the fertilising
qualities 'will be lost. Plaster has no
fertilizing qualities in itself. Its value
consists in its power to attract the am-
I monia from the atmosphere and the soil
and convey it to the plant. v It nas.
therefore been said that "plaster en
riches the father and impoverishes the
son." To the extent of its attraction
of the ammonia from the soil this say
ing is true, as the abstraction of the
fertilizing qualities from the soil into
the crops without the aid of plaster,
tends to impoverish the land. , j ' '
Professor Liebig. further accounts - for
tbo fertilizing of the soil by clover turn

of abstracting sixteen times as much am

The first knowledge of the use of earth
closets, according Ito Prescott 'His
tory of Peru,' was by the Incas in ah r
around Cusco, the capital, in .conie
quence of ihe great fertility of 'the soil
where used, come hfteen years since 1
learned that they were coming ih to gen-!
eral use in Europe on account of the
disinsection of the excreta, using the
contents for fertilizing land, as the earth
thrown on the deposits immediately con
fined all fertility, rendering the manure
very rich, one load thereof beitig worth
more than three or four of stable man
ure rotted in the usual way. ; I have
used such closets thirteen years, and
find them free from unpleasant 'odors
and the contents valuable as fertilizers.
I notice the State board of health have
required all closets of that, character ; to
be used near Hemlock Lake, from
whence the drinking water of the city
of Rochester is taken, to 1 prevent
the pollution of the water of the
lake. They - should be adopted in all
cities, villages, and farms, ! hotb for
sanitary reasons and for fertilizing.
Further, the garbage of all cities con
tains much fertility. If cemented re
servoirs were constructed in the neigh
borhood of the cities, using, say, Port
land cement, which will stand the ef
fects of winter, and Dlaster applied Ton
each removal, a manure would be
created of more value than all ; the cost
of removal, etc. We do uotneed toj go
to the expense of importing guano or
other fertilizers if we will only save bur
own by pioper management. ; : -
