*Meniber? of the last House. Anti-blavei y ami
pro-Anietiilinciit in small capital?. D?3inocrata and
Conservatives in italics.
' Gridcr, Harding, Mallorv, and boiuo other?, now
called Democrat?," were \Vhig? ?if old.
Tho northern and eastern counties havo gene
rally gono strongly anti-slavery; tho southern,
western and moat o"f tho central havo gono pro
alavory. Wo presumo tho Sonato is pr?i-slavory,
becauso of tho Senators who hold over; but wo
hopo for an anti-slavery majority in tho House.
?A U. 8. Senator is to be chosen in placo of Garrctt
)avis, pro-slavery. ]
A resolute attempt was made to enforco tho
Stato law which divests thoso who havo aided the
robollion of tha right of suffrage; but. though
mildly supported by Gov. Bramlette and decidedly
by Gori. Palmer, military commandant of tho dis
trict, itprovod an emphatic failure. Tho rebolB
would vote, so they did. ThuB tho.1st District
(formerly Linn Boyd's), which elected in '61 Henry
C. Burnett to our Congress, though ho took his
?eat in that of Jeff. Davis', though it has twice
siiie?! chosen Unionists, becauso tho rebels didn't
vote, now goes against us overwhelmingly, by tho
voteB of men who shouted over their victory at
Bull Run,- and hoped for the "liberation" of Ken
tucky by Bragg's army in '62. They now tnko tho
oath and vote, on the basis of tho Hon. Reverdy
Johnson's opinion in the Maryland oaso. Thus the
Commonwealth (Frankfort) Bays of tho election in
that (Franklin) county:
"The entiro Conservative tickot in this county is
triumphant. The Union candidates did well; out
influence brought to bear against them was too
strong to bo resisted successfully. Mr. Gray, the
Union candidato for tho Legislature, was opposed
by almost tho entire bar of Frankfort, and money
was spent lavishly to procure his defeat. Bribos
wore offered openly, and by men of plnco and
power. Tho oath was entirely disregarded?that
is, its binding power. Almost tho full rebel
strength of the county was polled, tho oath being
taken frcoly, under the Conservative teaching that
an oath administered under such circumstances is
not binding upon the voter?that euch falso swoar
ing ?b not prejudicial. Of course, a man who
would thus swear at tho polls, in accordance with
this doctrine, would swear to a falsehood at any
time, and under any circumstance?. But such is
not Conservative teaching, and these men aro
bound to tho party, body and soul, to do its
bidding, no matter how dishonest and dishonora
ble it may bo."
In another article the same respectable old Whig
. organ saya:
"In the conservative party there are some Union
men, but they are very low?tho rebel element and
tho rebel aiding and abetting element are largely
in the ascendant. Of this there can bo no doubt.
One of the succeBBful candidates of yesterday has
been known as a rebel sympathiser, out ana out,
>from tho first of tho rebellion."
Of course tho pro-elaVerV organs complain of
military Interference at the polls, and we presume
with justice. General Palmer undertook to pre
vent voting by tho rebels, but ho might as well
have opposed a feather to Niagara. Ho stopped a
few at the few polls attended by soldiers; but thin
only made the rcBt moro activo and unscrupulous.
Wc suspect that he helped tho pro-slavery vote,
though that was not his intention. Even of Lou
isville, where the military were in force, the Union
Prct-n Bays:
"The Democrat is in a ?t?te of astonishment and
jjrief at the result of the election in this city. We
expected it would be. Of course, it accounts for it
by declaring that the olootion was nob a freo one?
was virtually no election at all. Wo also expected
this from it. Now it is a notable fact chut thero
~?,r?, hnu km?, ?..mnw .vniiaitial. unrestrained,
and peaceable election m thiu city man un; une uU
Monday. Everybody in town knows this to be so,
who is accustomed to watch tho progress of elec
tions here. The vote was larger than that cast in
April, when tho Democracy achieved tho great
Tomppert triumph. And the charge that tho mil
itary were in tho wcy of any one voting who was
entitled to vote, or that they were present at the
. . polls to threaten and brow-boat, is directly false.
A fow arrests were made, and mode mostly by tho
city police. The disingenuous whining of the Dem
ocrat over tho despotism of martial rule is a very
ridiculous and childish way of 'acknowledging the
corn.' "
All which does not prove that an abortivo effort
was not made to prevent ex-rebels from voting;
but we sec no evidence that "military interfer
ij ence" helped tho anti-slavery voto in a single
comity, or kept one Copperhead out of office. Wo
guess the Unionists of Kentucky will have:to agree
that all residents shall voto, under proper safe
guards against colonizers, "repeaters," and loaf
ers.? N. r. Times, 15th.

Messrs. Flutter & Haskxll, Cotton Planters at Newbern, N. C, write. July, 1865, as follows :
. "Tho l'bosi>UBte of Limo we purchased of y ou gives good satisfaction. Last year wo applied fifty-five (55) tons to
three hundred and seventy-five (375) acres of land for cotton, say about (300) three h-.indred pounds per acre. We rub
bed the seed in the Phosphate, and also sowed it in the drill with the seed at the time of planting. On a portion of
the land we applied a top dressing of the Limo at the second hoeing. Throughout the season the cotton plants grew
WoJl_the leaves were of a dark, healthy color, and "no sdbt" was seen cm the plantation. The ravagea of tho
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 forma gavo 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 us to purchase of you huit spring seventy tons, one-half of which we used ourselves, and the 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 promisee an abundant yield. One portion of our plantation consista of highlands with a clay sub
soil, running near the surface ; the remainder is flat and inclined to be sandy. The owner of the place tells us that
he did not succeed with cotton on this last part; but owing, as we think, to the liberal use of your Phosphate, we
have now a good crop growing upon it. This is but the second reason of cotton growing with ub; still, from our
experience thus far, we do not heBitate to recommend your Phosphate of Lime as a manure well adapted to the
wanta of the cotton planter."
T. NEwnsnnv, 8. C, October, I860.
Professor J. J. Mapes? Dear Sir: I nought twenty baga of your Nitrogcnized Superphosphate of Lime, of
your Agents. Messrs. II. k N. E. Solomon, Hamburg, 8. C. (who solicited a statement of its effects), and applied it
to forty acres of my poorest cotton land.
Thia land is on the public road, where ita effecta were seen. My neighbors, who arc acquainted with the land,
were astonished at the luxuriant growth of the cotton where I used your Superphosphate. It produced better cot
ton, and a larger amou_?, than on my good land; less work was needed in making the cotton than on my other
land. Not apartide of rust was to be seen where I applied your Superphosphate, while the runt prevailed over
every other portion of the crop.
Respectfully yours, DAVID PAYNE.
Note.?Mr. Payne's good land compares favorably with the best cotton lands on the Saluda River. The Saluda
bottoms are proverbial for producing large quantities of cotton.
COTTON.
Columbia, 8. C, October 18, 1860.
-Mr. 3. 3. Mate??Dear Sir: In reply to yours of the 1st lnat, I cheerfully state: I have used Mapes'Nitro
genired Superphosphate 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, ub a pure and effective manure, and would give it the
preference to any other in the market.
Yours, respectfully, THOS. DAVIS.
Mr. Charles W. Mlxon, of Edenton, Cbowan County, N. C, writes to Mr. Bockover :
In regard to Mapes' Phosphate it worked admirably for me, the product being fully equal If not superior to
both Ute manures before mentioned. It did not start the young plant as early aa either the other manures; but it
seemed to retain its color and pods much better, and no symptom of rust was ever seen where it was applied?all
the laud I planted In cotton being about the same quality and strength, CHARLES W. MLXON.
Extract from a letter from Colonel Gideon Dowse, of Bereella, near Augusta, O a., August, 18C0:
J. 7. Mapes? Dear Sir: I have no hesitation in aaying that on my own farm your Superphosphate has been,
and is now, superior in Its effects, where I have applied it ou my cotton, to either lot-manure or cotton seed,; and,
as compared to the, land without manure in the same field (In my opinion the only true way to test it), it Is as 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, la formed from ? close and critical examination by my overseer and myself. There is one result
from ita application, which, if it had nothing elae to recommend it. is of Incalculable value, and that Is; it does
stem to guard against that worst enemy of the cotton plant, namely, the rust.
I have applied it to land that invariably rusts cotton, and there is as yet not a sign ofrusi In it, while the same
kind of land juit adjoining is completely ruined by it already.
ruin experiment confirma that made by Mr. Lomas, of S. C., 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, okrs, melons and other garden plants, that havo 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 aa in spring.
I have written this as Ute result of my judgment from close observation. '?Then I shall have gathered my crops
it will give me pleasure to give you Ute result from actual weight and measure.
Yours, GIDEON DOWSE.
Extract from Weekly Day-Book:
v New York, October 20, 1850.
' We havo, in the course of an extensivo agricultural correspondence, gathered evidence of the superior vaine
of Mapes' Nttrogenized Superphosphate of Lime upon t?;o cotton fields of the South, where Peruvian Guano had
been used with partial success. The bolls have been heavier, and of greater number, the yield of eclton per 'acre has
been larger, and what la also of Ute greatest consequence, no rust is discovered in cotton fields where this article is
applied," to which may be added its peculiar lasting power of fertilization, and Its comparative cheapness. These
facts have como to ua in correspondence from parties who nave used other like agents, and who give this by far the
highest praise.
"We have arrived at the conclusion, after considerable experiment ourselves, and of careful search for the re
sults of the trials of others, that Mapes' Fertilir.tr has more of the property needed in a general manure, In horticul
ture and agriculture, than any thing else of the kind we are acquainted with."

r _J. J. MAfXvEnq., New York??tear ft'r.* I bought four tons of your Huperphosphi.te of Lime for my cotton
crop, also some guano, and have tried them side by side on the same quality of land. Not a particle of rust was to

cotton bad the rust when tho lutter was us?l. The yield of cotton was, splendid when the Superphosphate was
need, despite tho extraordinary dry year. When 1 applied the other manure tie yield was not good.
