To, the Farmers of Warren County.
iBEG leave to call your attention to the i- fer
tilizers we are now manufacturing! consis't
in of
Pure yjine ground Bone Dust ;
llar.lin.au" S' lntinonialed Super-Phosphate
of Lime, j and HartmarCi Improved JSlani-
pulaled iSuano ;
ALL OF WUICU WE WARRANT GENUINE AND
' . GOOD.- ,.' : . - . . -
Our A HMOs'urcb Super-Phosphate of Lime
is an active and permanent manure, producing
all the iminedateireits of Guano, on theditfer
e..t crops, leaving "afterwards a gre.Lt benefit to
the soil. It lias oeen thoroughly tsted, during
the last three years, by many of the best f ar
mers and Planters of Virginia and 2Sorth' Caro
lina, on Wheat, Corn Oats, Tobacco and
Cotton, and has gained a reputation second to
none other in this country. The demand for it
is rapidly increasing.' '
For our Imphovilo Manipulated Goako, we
claim a suueriority over any other now manu
factured. It is compoted of the best Peruvian
and tie inchest Phospliatic Guanos. Thelat-,
ter, which constitutes one-half the weight, is
fully decomposed by the use of Sulphuric Acid,
and thereby rendered perftctly soluble. It is
afterwards gropnd. witli Peruvian Guano,'and
"ully and uniformly mixed by Eccentric Mills,
designed for the purpose. - !
The Phosphatic Guano, having been decom
posed , renders it at once nourishing to vegeta
tion, on its application, wliich in other -Manipulated
Guanos requires a length of time for
the acids of the soil to accomplish, befort that
oorUoif pf it u of an val vwhatever to4ha
orop, iiim la. ct.iiscquen.iy tv wuui, -ri.--c-i-'i
to tne farmer uunpg that time. ; .
By the use pf Sulphuric Acid, in the decom
position of the Phosuhatic Guaho, we -tilx the
Ammonia, and also obtain an additionn! atunt
of Phosphoric Acid, which is so essential to the
proper nourishment of all yege.ation. Tliisr
manure -will be found equal, in its immediate
effect on crops, to the best Peruvian Guano,
and far more durable.

TIIE PLANTATION BUILDINGS -
Consists of an OVKKali KK'S HOUSE, newly
built, and six LARGE LOUHL BARNS.
There is a new TWO-STORY GRANARY,
built this year, in the most substantial manner,
on a rock fsiund tion : it is seventy-two feet
long1 and thirty-six feet wide, and contains new
a'ndVcbmplete machmtry for threshing end win
nowing wheat, with a great saving of manual
labor. There are many other advantages on
this Plantation which the limits of an ad.ertise
ment will not permit me to particularize. !
TIIE QUALITY OF THE LAND '
I3 well known ; it' is admirably adapted for
WHEAT',-TOBACCO and CORN. The : Wheat
crop has always been considered the bes in the
county, and has always brought the highest
pri:es. Out of the 500 acres, tic 0 hundred are
bottom lands 'of the very best-Quality, and the
-: v
entire plantation is considered as one of the pest
in the'County of Warren.
THE SITUATION
Requires no comment ; it is in the midst of one
of the wealtniesVand most refined communities
in thepState,' immediately adjoining Jovis'
WhItb'Sui phcr Springs, and only three miles
from-Siiocco Springs. It is twelve miles from
Warrenton Depot, and about ten miles trom
Ridgewa
ay ajjd ienderson .Depots, on the Ra-
id Gastori Railroad. .. ' j '
Los in want nf au!tahle nlantation and

been burned, 'tbe ; inhabitants slaughtered,
and cattle, carried j off, and the fields laid
waste. ; Those who contrived to escape the
first , massacre', thought they would find a
refuge at Saida, and fled towards the city;
but on crossing the extensive gardens that
surround it, and at the very gates, they met
with a fearful fate, lhe Moslem population,
excited by the outcry of the Muftis, rushed
sword and dagger in hand upon the Chris
tians. Thevluftis stationed in the mosciues

Shall we allow the religion of the Prophet
to perish ? Here are the Christians coining
to take our town. To arms ! to arms !
An immense crowd of Moslems, armed with
swords, daggers;, muskets, clubs, and other
deadly weapons, excited by a fanaticism of

the Christians, taken by surprise, exhausted
by their long, flight, and mostly unarmed,
and indiscriminately butchered men, women,
and children, and, not content: with killing
them, cut and hacked at their remains, un
til they were, deprived ot all resemblance to
humanity. Nineteen corpses ot those mas
sacred at the gates had- been taken into a.
garden. The Rev. Father Pruniere, out
Superior, went out at the risk of his life to
give them Christian burial. "..-'He returned,
appalled at the frightful sight he had beheld.

children, nine priests, and six other men
whom he did not recDgnize. They were
naked, covered with blood, their limbs slash?

Father Pruniere had taken with him two
men armed to' the teeth, but, nevertheless,
he was attacked by a band of Moslems,' and
had to relinquish -his charitable mission and
return re infecta. The victims, therefore,
I remained lying where they fell. Their corp

lanes around the city, and poisoning the air
for miles with a pestileutiai exhalation.
The dogs of the town, (there are thousands)
attracted by the- smell, are gorgiug them

brethren. The exact number of the Chris
tians murdered by the -Druses and the Mos
lems is not exactly known. Some state it
at eight, others at twelve hundred.
What
is certain is that fresh corpses are discover-
ed every day. It is just been found out that
several of lhe city wells and cisterns are
filled to the very mouth with dead bodies..
Among them are eighty Moronite priests, a
few schismatic pastors, and several nuns." ,

, The" evils arising from the intermarriage
of blOod relations -are very obvious, and their
effects extremely, nlarming, and yet thedaw -which
ought to govern (as is, physiologically 1
and divinely asserted) is very carelessly' e- .
garded. As an instance of the social crimin
ality which attaches to the breach of that
law, ' we give -.the following statement of
facts,; ' 1; -'..; -
A short time since, three small boys were
brought from thei r parents, now residing pu
Massachusetts, and placed in the poor-house
at Killingly, in this State, it1 being claimed r
that it was their home. These boys are ut- .
terly helpless, being idiotic and invalid, and (
cannot stand or creep, and, unless carefully V
secured, they will each, fall from the chair in ,
which they may be placed. They are in the.
most' hopeless condition, and it is believed, -
are beyond the reach of rpedical .aid , and ;
must linger turougn a iiie01 sunenng, ana, ;;
all on" what account? Because their parents
were cousins both scrofulous," and', have in-
flipted that drealdful scourge off their children
with fatal virulence. Their ages arc front
eight to twelve years; apd until they wero
seven years old or hereabouts, they were as
bright and smart as most children; learned
to read with d?spatcq, and were very active
and happy indeed. But their organic pbysl
ical disorderwas not thu.s to be deprived' ot -,
its natural operation, and each fell a vietinv
to its insidious power. Suddenly, were they
borne down by its crushing weight, to a fate
worse than death,' to the endurnee of a lifos
thatf, which it would have been better had. ;
threy never been born,, '
Su'cli instances ought to operate as a sober
warning to those who hesitate not to form
mercenary convenient alliances,, in flagrant -
violation of nature's divine law. Some States
have statutes directed against consanguineous
marriages; and it appears from statistics that
aU of them ought' to have some legal preven-4
tive for what entails on uaturef sometimes as
much .as sixty per cent, of thephysical, disa
bility, weakmindedness, and idiocy her wort

much trouble were it introduced into more
civilized circle'. ' They appear oh fete days
in red under-petticoats, with white or yellow
(borders round theni; the cumber of these
denotes the portion the father is willing , to

ting silver, betokens a hundred francs of rent
and eacij yellow band means gold, and stands 1.
for a thousand francs per year,. Thus any
young farmer who sees a face that "pleases ,
him, has only to glance at the trimmings' of
the petiticoat, to learn in, an instant what ,
amount of rent accompanies it." ' ; '
