For the Carolina Era.' Animal Manures. These comprise the flesh, blood, hair. bones, horns, excrements, etc, of ani mals. They contain more nitrogen than vegetable manures, and are tax more powcrmi. ) 1. Stable Manures. The standard ma nure of this country is that from the stable and barn-yard. The principal varieties are those of the ox, the cow; the horse ana the siieep. Of these, thai of the horse is the most valuable in its fresh state, but is very liable, as ordin arily treated, to lose much of its value by fermentation: that of the sheep comes next; while thatof the cow ii placed at the bottom of the list, because .the enriching substance of her food goes principally to the formation of milk; That of the ox is better. The value of each of these manures varies also with the food and condition of the animals from which it is made. The manure from any animal is richer than the lootl given to It, because it contains, in addition to the residum of the food, certain particles belonging to the ani mal. The extent to-which it is am ma lized depends upon the thoroughness 01 the digestion, latness or the animal, and the drain made upon the elements of nutrition bv the system. The ma nure of well-kept cattle, it is readily seen, is far more valuable than that from those which are barely kept alive. All the urine, as well as the solid ex crements of animals, should be carei fully preserved. It is very rich in nitrogen and the phosphates, and some writers on agriculture contend that it3 value,: If properly preserved and ap plied, is greater than that of the dung. From an experiment made in Scotland, it appears that in five months each cow discharges urine, which when absorbed. by loam furnishes manure enough of the richest quality ana most auraDie 'effects for half an acre of ground. Think of this, ye American farmers, who are accustomed to allow so much of this richness to run to waste! Tie urine of three cotes for oneiyear is worth more than a ton of guano, which would cost from fifty to sixty dollars ! Will you' continue, to waste, urine and buy guano? Various' methods of preserv ing and applying it will suggest-them-selvcsto the intelligent farmer. Sta bles may be so constructed that the liquid discharges of the cattle, together with the wash of the barn-yard, may be conducted to a tank or cistern to be mimped out and applied directly to the -land, or absorbed by saw-dust, charcoal dust, turf, etc., and used in that form. If allowed to stand long in the liquid form, fermentation is liable to take formation of the sulphate of ammonia, which will not evaporate. But the waste of manures is not con fined to those of the liquid form. The solid excrements of the animals are of ten left to drain, bleach, or ferment till the greater portion of their most valua ble elements have disappeared. Stablo 'manures should be sheltered from the sun and rain, and fermenting heaps so cov ered with turf or loam as to prevent the escape of the fertilizing gases. Plas ter, as in the case of urine, will aid in retaining the ammonia. Boussingault, ojie of the most accurate of experimen ters in agricultural chemistry, states that while nitrogen in fresh horse-dung is two and seven tenths per cent, that in the fermented and dried dung is only one per cent. Horse-dung should be mixed at once with other manures, or with turf or loam, to retain its full value. The manure of sheep is very Strong and active, and, next to that of the horse, is most liable to heat and de compose, i lioy Manure. The manure of swine is strong and valuable. Swamp muck; weeds, straw, leaves, etc., should be thrown into the sty in liberal quantU ties, to be rooted over and mixed with tli ilimcr. Tn this wav 'from five to ten loads of manure per annum may bt nlitrtirtrtl from n snide hocr. - r Jacques. , For the Carolina Era. ; The reason why the manufacturing interests of North Carolina meet with so little encouragement is very plain to observing men, the very moment the manufacturing of any article is com menced in this State, and its citizens commence to purchase, and the article sells readily, just so soon the price is raised and our people are forced to hunt "another market. This I find to be the case with our fine mountain cheese of North Carolina. At first the merchants of this city baught largely and would have continued so to do, but up went prices and ofT went our merchants to the' North for cheese, and then it is hurled at them that they will not pat ronise home manufactures. It seems they think one season is the only time they will ever have to get rich. As I have given a little advice to our moun tain friends I cannot let our eastern friends pass for fear of insulting them. We I learn up here that our fisheries have never caught so many fish as they have this season, make an order (to the country where they have been used a hundred years for manure) and in a day or so here comes half tub and be fore you get them to your house a ten dollar bill is nearly destroyed.

Insurance Convention North Carolina AbiRfresented in the Person of Wm. H. JfttNCH, Esq., of Raleigh. This body convened in the City ofNewTTork, on the 23rdj ult., and from its published proceedings, We infer! that its deliberations were of tho most interesting character. , : -1 Wm. H. Finch, Esq., special delegate from North Carolina, in p dentlals, said: ( senting his cre- ' Mr.' President. North! Carolina sends greeting and good will to New York and her sister States. Representing a State which at present exercises no govermentai super vision over the insurance business within her limits, I shall of course during a great part of your deliberations be merely a "looker on' in Vienna." It will be my pur pose, however, to carefully observe your action, to report your conclusions to the Executive Department, which I have the honor to represent, to the end that North Carolina may adopt such plans in the prem ises as your wisdom may suggest and her Legislature approve. Our vorthy Qovernor and Treasurer are fully alive to the impor tance of the great interests which we have met to guard and perpetuate, and our Leg islature will no doubt cordially unite with them in carrying into effect any recommen dation this highly competent body may make, tending towards t uniformity in in surance legislation throughout the Union "a consummation most devoutly to .bo wished." ; I The views of Gov. Caldwell are in full accord with those of the Hon. Mr. Miller, of New York, on these subjects, and his zeal ous co-operation may be confidently ex pected if the results of our deliberations tend (as they no doubt will), to the advance ment of the good of his people, j ' I need not assure you, Mr. President, of my readiness to Jtend my aidy to the best of my ability, in promoting the objects for which we have assembled." We find Mr. F. introducing the following resolution, from which, such information will be had, as to enable Insurance compa nies to so regulate their tables, j that the greatest amount of good will result both to the insured and Companies: J . " That a standing committee of three be appointed by the President of this Conven tion to solicit and receive from each Life Insurance Company in the United States,in each year, in future, a statement of their actual experience as regards interest and mortality, and that the statistics of the Com panies shall be compiled in such, forms and under such regulations as the President may prescribe, in the archives of this i Conven tion, to the end that a combined Experience Table may be formed therefrom after the lapse of sufficient time." j j It appears that a number of the Conven tion visited New Haven, Conn.,J and were welcomed by the Mayor of that City. Mr. Finch was selected to respond in behalf of the delegates, and he is reported, in The New Haven Press, to have said : J ; j In behalf of my brethren of the Conven tion for this welcome, I tender most hearty thanks. We come, sir, from the Atlantic and the Pacific slopes, from the Orange groves of Louisiana, and from those spright ly daughters of the " original thirteen," the great States of the West, to meet and agree upon plans which will foster and protect that great and beneficent institution and in terest Insurance.

Hundreds of great men and thousands of others I far above mediocrity are proud to call thee "alma mater!" . i Again thanking the Mayor for his wel come to the confines of New England and to his City of Elms, we all entertain the hope that our ties of friendship, our ties of business and our common tie of nationality may bind us all together, "hearts as well as hands," as one people. j We offer no apology for the space occupir ed in this notice of our worthy young friend, William H.

Carolinian. j - The "Local of the Daily Carolinian is away behind the times when it asserts that " the largest pine tree in North Carolina stands five miles North of Raleigh on the quarry road." The Local is not a traveled man and don't know j what he is talking about. In Mitchell county on the summit of the Roan Mountain stands a pine tree, as we are .credibly informed, which measures over one hundred and twenty three feet and two inches in circumference, it is of the skob-nolly species J The bark on this tree is eighteen feet, three and one half inches thick ; the first three limbs; are two hundred and seventeen feet from the ground, and twenty four feet in diameter. This tree is supposed to be over eleven hun dred feet and one inch high and over three thousand years old. It is thought that it sprang from the root of the tree which fur nished the flag staff for Noah's Ark. For a number of years it was in poor health and did not grow much, but a few 'applications of the Balsam of Tar and a couple of doses of Vinegar Bitters, and one application of Perry Davis' Pain Killer restored it to its pristine health and vigor, and it is now in a most flourishing condition, and is increas ing in circumference at the rate of sixteen and two third inches ' every twenty-four hours. It may be seen from the -dome of the Capitol of Raleigh any bright day with out the aid of a telescope. Wilson Burles son, Esq., of Mitchell- county, will take great pleasure in showing thisk remarkable tree to the curious. j Virginia Enborses The j Friend of TEaiFERANCE.-rThe Virginia State Council of the Friends of Temperance, recently held at Charlottsville, Va., passed by a unani mous vote, the following preamble ad res olutions: : ' Whereas, The Press is a power in the land both for good and for evil and no cause can prosper without the aid of an effi cient organ through which it can present to the public the principles and objects of its cause and as we are not an exception to thi3 general principle, and as we have an organ in the Friend of Temperance, pub lished by Rev.

Politics in Every Thing. We had pol itics in the State Fair, and politics in. the Theatre, among the Worrels, who hired out for the special slandering of certain gentle men members of "the Republican party but, Robinson's Circus was the exception ! Some of the decency tried it on the clown, but it wouldn't fit, and we congrat ulate the Sentinel and its yoke brother, tho Tarboro' Southerner, tliat no allusion was made to politics under John Robinson's canvass.' - ! . . " Ex-Con. Gen. D. H.jHilL in his Southern Home newspaper, by a species of sarcasm peculiarly his own, reviews the communi cation of Gen. Gorman to the Carolinian, and suggests that the j report should have been made to his Commander-in-chief.1' Seeing nothing to condemn in the conduct of Gen. Gorman, the weapon of ridicule is brought to bear. We offer no defense in behalf of Gen. G. He did all that could be done and his campaign was more success ful than the campaignj of Gen. Hill against the government of the United States. President's Proclamation of Thanks giving. With but few exceptions the op position press of thej South ridicule the President's proclamation proclaiming a National day of Thanksgiving, . upon the ground that the people of the South have nothing to be thankful for. We have an idea that we of the South have great cause of thankfulness. j i j But, then, this same opposition press has ignored the observance of the 4th of J uly, and it is not, strange that they now decline keeping a national feast, as requested by a Republican President.

We think it would be best to present only one amendment to the Legislature that concerning the tax.! The others can afford to wait. We have I an election for a new Legislature, and with all these amendments, we cannot be sure of securing the necessary two-thirds. We very much doubt if we can secure two-thirds of the next Legisla- ty with dead weight. Let us first get out The Boys. A novel feature of the Fair last week was the presence of twenty-eight stout, healthy boys from Iredell county, ranging in ages from ten to fifteen years. Our friend, Col. R. F. Simonton of States ville, selected the boys as specimens of the health and vigor of Iredell, and paid their expenses to Charlotte and back home.

Simonton meant well, in exhibiting tho noble I mountain sprouts, at tho Fair. He intended to show that the climate, water, fcc., of Iredell, all conduces to health and vigor, as the Demo crat says. But, alas ! brother Yates has at last caught the contagion, and exhibits the bad taste of his bitterest enemy The Sen tinel. ! M. W. Churchill advertises in this paper for one thousand bushels ground peas, or peanuts we hope he may have them speedily supplied, in view of the fact that the Legislature will soon meet in our city, and tho demand,Aen,will be heavyjudging from the past. This Legislature j is a crack ing concern I It not only cracks peanuts, to sustain the inner man, while tleliberating on the grave topics of the day but it took a deliberate crack at the Constitution last winter, and failed, and they now propose to make a crack in that same instrument this winter. With three dollars a day and ten cents a mile.it is possible some of them will not crack as many champagne bottles as they did last Session. However,bring your peanuts to Churchill they'll crack them. Mean and Low. The atttcinpt of some one in Washington city to destroy the pros pects and future hope, of thousands of f reed men, by telegraphing to the world that a run had been made on the National Freed man's Savings Bank of that city, is certain ly too low and mean, to be even considered in intelligent circles. Malico was at the bottom of this move ; and we are pleased to see this Institution so ably vindicated, as appears from the annexed, which we find in a late number of the Charleston Courier. In refering to the slander, the Courier says: " There was not a shadow of ground for it. Seldom has the bank there had a week of more perfect quiet. Our Actuary in .that city sends us the figures for two' weeks in October, covering the time when this run was said to have occurred, showing the de posits in that one branch to have been $163,010.34, and largely ahead of the draft. The report to the Board of Trustees, on tho 12th of October, showed the assets of the Company to be 3,153,509 of thi3 there was in United States Bonds and cash (all imme diately available) $1,167,126.86 ; and in other securities, on which a loan could have been instantly negotiated, if needed, to the amount of $1,196,000.

THE AMERICAN WASHER! i XTRICTK, $S.SOf The American Washer Saves Money, Time, and Drudgery. . The Fatigue of Washing Day no Longer Dreaded, but Economy, Efficiency, and Clean Clothing, Sum . : In calling publio attention to this little machine, a few of the invaluable qualities, (not possessed by any other washing ma chine yet invented,) are here enumerated. . It is the smallest, most compact, most portable, most simple in construction, most easily operated. A child ten years old, with a few hours practice, can thoroughly com prehend and effectually use it. There la no adjusting, no screws to annoy, no delay in adapting! It is always ready for use! It is a perfect little wonder ! It is a miniature giant, doing more work and of a better quality, than the mest elaborate and costly. One half of the labor is fully saved by its use, and the clothes will last one-half longer than by the old plan of the rub board. It will wash the largest blanket. Three shirts at a time, washing thoroughly ! ; In a word, the ablution of any fabric, from a Quilt to a Lace Curtain or Cambric Handkerchief, are equally within the capacity of this LITTLE GEM f It can bo fastened to any tub and taken off at will. I 1 No matter how deep rooted a prejudico may exist against Washing Machines, the moment this little machine is seen to per form its wonders, all doubts of its cleansing elficacy and utility are banished, and the doubter and detractor at once I become tho fast friends of the machine. ! We have testimonials without end, setting forth its numerous advantages over all oth ers, and from hundreds who have thrown aside the unwieldy, useless machines, which hav e signally failed to accomplish the ob ject promised in prominent and loud sound ing advertisements, j . j . It is as perfect for washing as a wringer is for wringing. The price another paramount inducement to purchasers, has been placed so low that it is within the reach of every housekeeper, and thore is no article of do mestic economy that will repay the ' small investment so soon. ! i , $5.SO. . J' All that is asked for this GREAT LABOR SAVER, is a fair trial. We guarantee each machine to do its work perfectly.- r j Sole Agents for the United States, A. H.
