MONDAY MORNING. AUGUST 21, 186T?.
From Richmond.
[Correspondence N. 1'. Herald]
THF. ritttUDENT TO VISIT RICHMOND.
Richmond, August 13?The President of the
United State?, accompanied by Hon. Edwin M.
Stnnton, Secretary of War, it ia confidently assert
'cd, will visit Richmond during the last week in
August, 'flic main object of the visit will be to at
tend a council of the lca?ling general officers of
thin and tin adjacent military depot in reference to
the condition of affair? hi thin ucction, a? affected
by the policy of Frcs?leiit Johnson's administra
tion. The council will be held in the private par
lors of tho Jeff. Davis mansion, whero the lato
President Lincoln met the prominent Southerners
during his stay here, and which is at preset the
official residenco of Major-General Terry, com
manding this department.
Among the distinguished officers who will meet
the President and Secretary on tho occasion, will
bo Major-General Terry, Major-Gonoral Turner,
Major-General Curtiu,- Major-General Sehofield,
Mnjor-Goncral Howard, of the Frccdmcn's Bureau
at Washington; General J. B. Hawley, Chief of
Staff to the Commanding General, and others.
This interview was originally set down to be held
at Fortress Monroe, but the confinement at that
post of tho state prisoner, Jefferson Davis, it is
alleged, renden? the holding of a great civil and
military council within its walls impracticable and
impolitic. There can be H title doubt that final ac
tion upon great issues of State policy with refer
ence to the attitude of this people growing out of
the recent anomalous election held in this city
will bo determined upon after tho return of the
President and Mr. Stanton to Washington. It is
expected that one effect of this movement will be
to materially placate the approaching Congress,
which assembles in December, and which, wore it
to assemble now, would not prove very tractable
upon-several issues of national moment.
the oovEBKon'a POLicnr.
Tho policy heretofore pursued by Governor Pier
point in effecting the restoration of Virginia is to
undergo an imm?diat?! and radical change. The
Governor is now satisfied that the intentions of the
leading men of the State, as expressed to him upon
Jiia accession to power hero, have not been carried
out in good faith, and that lie now has overy reason
to distrust tho representations of their loyalty, so
profusely made to him in the earlier days of hi?
occupancy. "These men promised Governor Picr
pont that if ho would aid according to tho measure
of his power in restoring them to the franchise,
they would see that none but consistent Union nion
were elected to offices. The result has been other
wise to such an extent as to imperatively compel
him to change his policy, in which action he will
have the cordial endorsement of President John
son, who views the perfidy of these chivalric South
erners in tho Bamo light aa his Excellency.
??EGR?? ?LAJWR FOR NEW YORK.
A large number of negroes are now being con
tracted for at tho Freedmon's Bureau in Una city
to proceed to Cayuga, Wayne county, New York,
for the purpoBC of felling a large tract of valuable
timber in the marshes of that section. This is a
pew direction for negro labor.

WASHINGTON'S WILL.
The original wiU of General George Washington
was delivered yesterday to the Clerk of tho County
Court at Fairfax by Colonel C. H. Lewis, Secretary
of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The writing is
in the own handwriting of tho illustrious "Father
of bis Country," plain and legible, and signed at
tho bottom of each page, showing the preciseness
and promptitude of IniB?ieus which always distin
guished him. This will was preserved from tho
destruction attendant upon tho evacuation of the
city by the former Secretary of State, Colonel
Munford, who secured it in tho iron safe of the
cap?tol, thereby showing the veneration in which
he held the name of the groat man, the mention
of which cansos tho heart of every true American
to swell with gratitude and love, bailing him as the
deliverer of the country."
Tho city grows more and more dull.
...
Feats or the Yankee BLONDiN.-r-Harry Leslie,
the great American Funambulist?for his friends
scout the idea of his being Btylcd tho "American
Blondin;" and, as he has so far excelled Blond?n in
his daring exploit?, ho consents hereafter to re
pudiate the cognomen?made another of his dar
ing ascensions on Thursday last. Long before the
appointed hour, a tremendous crowd hod collected
to witness the feat? of this unrivalled ropo walker.
Beforo the ascension, a carriage > handsomely
decorated with flags and plumes, bearing Leslie,
dressed in a magnificent gold costume, his pretty
wife and little child, drove through the principal
streets of Niagara. At quarter past five o'clock in
the afternoon, th? trio mounted the platform,
where, among other distinguished persons who
honored him with their presenco, was ox-Prcsidont
MiUard Fillmorc and lady, to whom Leslie and
family were introduced, and who wished him a
speedy and safe journey over the water. Leslie
crossed to the Canada side umid tho applause of
the crowd, performing Mb usual feats, among
which that of running out on tho guy ropcB,
throwing himself at full length on his back, Ac.
Or. '?is return he carried on his hack a moderate
sh'.ed cooking stove, wliich he deposited on the cen-?_
tro of the main rope, made his own fire, prepared,
cooked and ate his omelette, and safely returned
ivith all his furniture to the starting point. At
nino o'clock in the evening ho made another
ascension, dressed in white, discharging fire
works on his route, and amid an exhibition of fire
works at either end. When at the contre of tho
vope, on hi? return, and th? li?hr, from.th?py?o-'
technical exhibition had ceased, Blondin. being
lost in comparativo darkness, he dropped a large
white cloth, which some supposed u> have been
himself, and qnite a sensation was produced until
ho appeared on tho American sido to receive the
congratulations of his family and friends. Wo un.
?erstand Leslie purposes to mako another aseen,
sion on the 10th instant, at which timo he will cross
with two pails of water on hi? shoulder? and a
peach basket attached to each foot.? Buffalo Cou

our revised quotations annexed. Southern flour was

The wheat market at tho opening ruled quiet but
firm for winter, and dull and heavy for spring, under the
combined influences of heavy receipts and unfavorable
Europ?en news. The export demand waB checked, and
we (lid not hear of a single engagement to any European
port. The demand subsequently was more active, aud,
with large speculative sale?, the market closed firm. The
sales embraced 116,000 bushels, at $ 2.05(552.07 for amber
Michigan; $2.08 fo? new amber winter-State; $1.40@1.47
for amber Milwaukee; $1.43(a>1.45 for Milwaukee club ;
$1.42@1.43 for Chicago spring, and'(1.88(21.05 for win
ter red Western. The receipts of corn were enormous,
comprising upwards of a quarter of a million bushels,
and it was rumored that tho receipts were not all bulle
tined at that?some contending that there were samples
offering for full 400,000 bushels. Under these circum
stances the market of course ruled dell and heavy, hut
the advance In gold and the firmness of freights tended
to check tho demand, and caused a slight decline. The
Bales were about 92,000 bushels, at 85(?)89c. for unsound,
90(3>91c. for sound mixed Western, and 01}i(3)91?i for
high mixed, nearly yellow. Barley and malt remained
dull, without quotable, change in prices. Oats were
steady at 66@G6 cents for Western, mainly at the outside
price.
Cotton.?Tho market was dull, but holders were gen

800 bales. We quote:

Coffee was quit, but holders, in view of the limited
supply and the unfavorable prospect for a speedy re
plenishment, were generally asking an advance.
Freights.?The offering? to European ports were very
insignificant. The immense receipts of grain rendered
ship owners and 'agents quite independent, and they
generally held freight room at a higher figure than on
Saturday; yet nothing was done? the. export demand
having been non est. Better times are anticipated soon.
To California the offerings were also very light, and rates
ore nominal at GOc.@G0c, measurement, and l.'^cfffil J?c,

was again observable, and under tho influence of this
prices fell off half a dollar from the closing prices of Sat
urday, and but little desire was manifested to purchase
even at tho reduced rates. Nevcrthclcer, the business
was fair, but mainly in lots on the spot?not a few of the
purchases being to fill maturing contracta. The Bales
were 4,200 bbls. at $32@33 for new mess, closing at

Some little excitement was occasioned in the street to
day byothe announcement that the checks of Mr. Peter
R. Mumford, a gold room operator, had been - dishonor
ed. On Saturday last he received large amounts of gold,
variously estimated at from eighty to over one hundred
thousand dollars, for which he gave cheeks, the payment
of which was refused to-day. A private meeting of his
creditors was held this morning, and ha the course of a
day or two it will be made clear whether the case is one
of absolute fraud or a simple failure. His liabilities are
said to be $130,000.

Messrs. Fisher k Host ell, Cotton Planters at Newborn, N. C, write, July, 1805, as follows:
"The Phosphate of Lime we purchased of you gives good satisfaction. Lvnt year we applied flfly-flve (65) tons to
three hundred and seventy-five (376) acres of Bind for cotton, say about (300) three hundred pounds per acre. We rub
bed the seed in the Phosphate, and also ko wed it in the drill with the seed at the tiuiu of planting. On a portion of
the laud we applied a top dressing of the Lime at the second hoeing. Throughout the season the cotton plan Us grew
well?the leaven were of a dark, healthy color, and "no rust" was seen on the plantation. The ravages of the
army worm prevented us from realizing the benefit from our outlay for the Lime in full, still the large number of
partly grown bolls and forms gave some idea of what the crop would have been could they have matured. Al
though we saved a large quantity of manure on the place last year, our confidence in the value of your Phosphate
led ?b to purchase of you last spring seventy tons, one-half of which we used ourselves, and tho balance was
bought for a friend, who was satisfied of its worth in cotton culture. At the time of writing this, our crop is look
ing finely, and promises an abundant yield. One portion of our plantation consists of highlands with a clay sub
sou, running near the surface ; the remainder is flat and inclined to be sandy. The owner of the placo tells us that
be did not succeed with cotton on this lost part; but owing, as wc think, to the liberal use of your Phosphate, we
have now a good crop growing upon it. This is but the second season of cotton growing with us; still, from our
experience thus fur, we do not hesitate to recommend your Phosphate of Lime as a ijanui i well adapted to tho
wants of the cotton planter."
NFwnERnT, 8. C October, 16?0.
Professor J. J. Mapes? Dear Sir: 1 bought twenty bags of your Nitrogenized Superphosphate or Lime, of
your Agents, Messrs. H. k N. E. Solomon, Hamburg, S.' C. (who solicited a statement of its effects), and applied it
to forty acres of my poorest cotton land.
This land is on the public road, whore its effect? were seen. My neighbors, who arc acquainted with the land,
were ostonished at the luxuriant growth of the cotton where I used your Superphosphate. It produced better cot
ton, and a larger amount, than on my good land ; loss work was needed in making the cotton than on mv other
land. Kot a particle of rust was to be seen where I applied your Superphosphate, while the rust prevailed over
every other portion of the crop.
Respectfully yours, DA.VTD PAYNE.
Note.?Mr. Payne's good land comparto favorably with the best cotton lands on the 8aluda River. The Saluda
bottoms are proverbial for producing large quantities of cotton.

COTTON.
Columbia, 8. C, October 18,1859.
Mr. J. J. Mapes? Dear Sir: In reply to yours of the 1st lust., I cheerfully state: I have used Mapes' Nitrc
genUed 8uperphospliate of Lime on my cotton of the present year, and am perfectly satisfied with its yield.
I can'recommend it to my neighbors with confidence, as a pure and effective manure, and would give it tho
preference to any other in the market.
Yours, respectfully, THOS. DAVIS.
Mr. Charles W. Mixon, of Edenton, Chowan County, N. C, writes to Mr. Bockovcr:
In regard to Mapes' Phosphat? it worked admirably for me, the product being fully equal if not superior to
both the manures before mentioned. It did not start the young plant as early as either the other manures; but it
seemed to retain its color and pods much better, arid no symptom of rust was ever seen where it was applied?all
the land I planted-in cotton being about the some quality and strength. CHARLES W. Ml.XON.
Extract from, a letter from Colonel Gideon Dowse, ofBerzello, near Augusta.Oa., August, 1BC0:
J. J. Mapes?Dear Sir: 1 have no hesitation in saying that on my own farm your Superphosphate bos been,
and is now, superior in Its effect?, whore I have applied it on my cotton, to either lot-in rjaure or cotton seed; and,
as compar '. to tho land without manure in the same field (in my opinion the only true way to test it), it is m four
to one in the number of grown bolls, and as ten to one in the young fruit and forms, in favor of the Superphos
phate.
This opinion Is formed from a close and critical examination by my overseer and myself. There Is one result
from its application,, which, if it had nothing else to recommend it, is of incalculable value, and that is, it does,
seem to guard against that worst enemy of the cotton pLjit, namely, tho rust.
I have applied it to land that invariably rusts cotton, and there isas yot not a sign of rust in it, while tho same
kind of land just adjoining is completely ruined by it already.
This experiment confirms that made by Mr. Lomas, of 3. O, last year; and I am fully persuaded that any plant
manured with it does withstand a drought better and keeps green longer than with any other application that has
come under my notice. I have seen cotton, corn, okra, melons and other garden plants, that have kept green
during the terrible drought that has so completely destroyed all our gardens, and my nutmeg melons are as green
and blooming as beautifully as in spring.
I have written this as the result of my Judgment from close observation. When I shall have gathered my crop?
it t/111 give mo pleasure to give you the result from actual weight and measure.
Yours, GIDEON DOWSE.
Extract from Weekly Day-Hook:
New Yob?, October 20, 1859.
"We have, in the course of an extensive agricultural correspondence, gathered evidence of the superior valoe
of Mapes' Nitrogenized Superphosphate of Limo upon tho cotton fields of tho South, where Peruvian Guano had.
been used with partial success. The bolls have been heavier, and of great or cumber, the yield of cotton per acre has,
been larger, and what is also of the greatest consequence, no rust is discovered in cotton fields where this article is
applied, to which way be added its peculiar lasting power ot(fertilization, and. its comparative cheapness. These
fact? have come to us in correspondence from parties who have used other like agents, and who give this by far the-,
tugboat praise.
VWo have arriTed \t tho oapclusjon, after considerable experiment ourselves, and of careful search for the re
sult* of the tralla cf others, thai Mapes' Fertilizer has taire of the property needed in a general manure, in horticul
ture and agrioulturt?, than any thing 'Ise of the kind Wd arc ?cqualuted with."
KnoxriBU), 8. C, October 10,1860.
J. 3: Mates, Esq., New York?Dear Sir: I bought four tons of y oar Buperphosphato of Limo for my cotton
crop/also some guano, and have tried them side by side on the some quality of land. Not apartide of rust was to
bo seen where.your Superphosphate was used) one] I also applied atable manure on a portion of my land. Tho
cotton had the rust when the latter woa used. The yield of cotton was splendid when the Superphosphate was
used, despite the extraordinary dry year. Whon I applied the other manure the yield was not good.
I applied the Superphosphate at the rate of 100 Toe. per acre, and beliovc It would have paid better If I had puf
more per acre.
. I sold my cotton in Hamburg yesterday at J.'c. per pound over tho usual market price. The lint was consid
ered very strong and heavy. I consider yours a reliable manure.
Yours, truly, JAMES M. LANHAM.
