J lMTASii SALTS.
T!isco:ninu:i potash salts in our mar-ke-
at the present time are Kainito and
Muriate of Potash.. These salts come to
tjs from Stassfurt and Le)pildshall in
Germany where tliey are found in enor
mous quantities accompanied by'commen
salt and numerous other compounds.
Shipped ; to us in the past as balhst
freight we have gotten them at such
figures as to render them the most avail
able sources of potash for agricultural
purposes. Their use in the South Atlan
tic states has "growirto enormous propor
tions, nntll, it is said, the demand will
sooij t-u-rpa the ballast-capacity ofj the
! vessels iii this traffic. As the supply is
large we will doubtless continue to get
th iji though
Kainite costs lately wholesale in large
quantities in Wilniiugtoti $12.00, per ton
only. The demand for such materials at
thrsiseaisosi has put the price up some
what, but not in the proportion in which
retail dealers are selling it now. As given
below farmers can afford to paj $10 to
$1S per ton for it but no more. Certain
ly the retail dealers ought to be able to
sell it. at this anywhere in the state! aud

To demand $25 to $30 per ton for Kainite,

Extra Session Agitation. Senate Organi
zation Riddlebergcr for Sergeant-at-,Arms
The Hand of -Mahout otanlry
Matthews' ProsjKets. . ,
(From our regular Correppondeiice.)
Wasiiixgtox, D. C.March 18,1831.
The interest at this political centre will
probably be kept up till far into the sum
mer. The lower house, it is now thought
by many, will be couvencd in extra ses
sion before the middle of May. Interviews
with a Hutuber of leading men of both
political parties, develops the fact that
there is a wide difference of opinion touch
ing the probability of a call for an extra
session of Congress, but the. weight of
opinion is on the side of the extra session.
Stalwart Republicans generally think that
it should be called, and Democrats believe
that their oppolieuts will improve their
opportunity. The date generally fixed
upon for the extra session is May 1, though
there arc many who favor a later date,
aiid think about the 15th of tho same
month would suit all concerned better,
and give umple time for the passage of a
fuudiug bill, and tho tiausactiou of all
i'.ecessary business before the summer
solstice.
Quite a crowd was present to wituess
the organization of the Senate to-day, al
though no election for officers of the body
will take place until next I Monday. Ex-1
Secretary Gorham is thus far tho only
candidate spoken of for his old position.
For Sergeaut-at-Arms, Col.' A. T. Riddle
bergcr, of Woodstock, in the Shenando
ah Valley, at presei.ta State Senator, of
Virginia, will probably be chosen. For
Chief Clerk, Mr. Johnson, of Minnesota,
who was for eight years secretary of the
Senate in that State, is mentioned. Jas.
R. Young, of Philadelphia, will undoubtr
ediy assume his old place as financial
clerk. To-day the committees only will
be organized. There has been no caucus
held yet to nominate officers. I
The heads of departments are still kept
very busy with an. immense throng of olU
tice seekers, and in case an extra ses-t
sion shall be called, this j throng will be
increased.. So far but few! changes in mi
nor offices havo been made, but chauge
are inevitable. Places uiiist be made for
the friends of the.new Gabiuet, and many
an official head will bitti the dust. I
A determined effort is being made t
defeat the confirmation of Stanley Matj
thews for Associate Justice of the Suj
preme Court by representatives of the
Seventh Judicial Circuit, who claim that;
that circuit, which has been on the Su
preme bench siuce the retirement of Judge
David Davis, is entitled jto recognition ,
A number of gentlemen have been men
tioued for the place, but probably all will
be disappointed, for the disposition now
seems to be to confirm alt the nomina
tions sent in aud adjourn as soon as pesi
ble. Judge Matthews' frieuds are, howl
ever, notjiiclinedto take this for granted
but are using all of their pon ers of perf
suasion to bring to his support the Sena
tors who in the last session are known to
have opposed Matthews confirmation,

because of its pi:s:tivo Work. It con

in the State, and their action has been
progressive beyond our anticipations.
AVirs t Observer.
Maj. John W. Moore, the well
known historian of the State, who
was appointed by the Legislature to
prepare and publish at the public ex-
pensc a roster uf the North Carolina
troops engaged in the late war, has
published a card asking the uewsp;
pcrs to aid In in in Ins undertaking.
He desires them to make known the
following points :
uet it ue known to the surviving
North Carolina soldiers that infor
mation is -needed, and iu many cases
can only be had from thbm It isin-
teuueu to prepare tne muster roil or
cacn regiment, battalion ami unat-
"
tached company, with an account of
its mnvments and engagements during
the bloody years of service in camp
and field. To do this will require
much aiil to enable me to trace all of
our comnmids- 'through the war. I
request that diaries aiid other memo-
randa may be furnished me, for which
I will duly account and return to all
who may thus coritridute ta our com-
tnon vindication. Any reminiscenses
connected with the war will be thank-
fully received and acknowledged.
We take nleasure in trivinc the
- u
above siatement to the public, and
trust that there will be no lack of in
terest on the part of the survivors of
the galla;it men who fought in the
North Carolina line.
The newspapers say Mahone is
merely an "old-fashioned gas jet, half
turned on." From remarks iu the
Republican -papers we had ;been led
to suppose that he wa3 I the. genuine
electric light, with a reservoir of
magnetic eloquence as large as the
Catawba river. They all seem to
have forgotten the fact that he is
net only a Readjust er a non-debt-payer
but also that he was a Con
federate brigadier, with a great deal
offi jht in him. Char. Observer.
Fight against a hasty temper. An
ger will come, but resist it , strongly.
A spark may set a house on fire. A
fit of passion may give yon cause to
mourn all your life. Never revenge
an injury.

"Why do you think Ransom could
do this?"
"Because he is so well beloved all
over the State that he could carry off
enough Democrats to carry the State
for any ticket that he might head.
Cut we dent need such a man. We've
got Republicans 'enough to carry the
Old North State, without winking or
blinking plain, honest, stalwart Re-
publicans Garfield, Blaine, Grant,
and ConkJing men, who, if properly
encouraged and given a clear field and
a fair fight, will make North Carolina
as reliable a Republican State as any
Lf those which cast their electoral
voles for Garfield and Arthur."
"What do you mean by encourage
ment?" "To giye every office from the low
est to the highest to Republicans alone,
and to give to North Carolina her full
share of the patronage of the Govern
ment." "Hasn't this been the policy of the

"How do you like the policy of the
present administration, as far as it has
developed ?"
"We haven't seen enough of it to
judge, but we have every reason to
believe that it will be a stalwart,
straightforward one, and all that we
desire,"
"Do you, as a Southern Republican,
think Mahone ought to be encourag
ed by the administration ?"
"I certaiuly do. He has had a hard
fight in the past, and he will have a
harder one in the future; and there
fore it should be the policy of all
friends of freedom and fair play to
hold up his hands, and in every legit
imate way give him and the true men
who back him all of the moral and
material support that they can com

or bull-dozing?"
"None at all now; There are 60,-

and they are the equals of the Demo
crats in wealth, intelligence, and so-
