U conversation with Gapt. Guthrie, he

rensprked to us thpt big bredl wes the scene of contending emotipa^ which he coeld not describe. At one moment bis heart swelled with joy end gratitude fer the safety of himself and so many of bis fellows; bnt the next, tbs thought of those who had probably found a watery grave filled him with unutterable grief. WSince the above was in type, we learn that the schooner that .sank the Walker arrived in Philadelphia on Satorday last. Her name is Fanny, and is of 250 tons burthen. The captain reports that his vessel was headed for Cape May. and running before the wind. »r.d the lichts of the steamer became visible at some distance, but her bull was not seen until they were within 200 yards of each other. He then eased his vessel off a little to avoid collision, and the steamer at the samejtime. he says, changed its course, bringing the two in collision. The schooner had her bow-sprit tore away, and a)so some of tba jigging, bat they never mistrusted that the steamer was serious-

ly damaged.

tba nomination, by a large majority, bat to make the vote stronger; another ballot was taken, which resulted in LSI} for Dongiaa. Of courae in these votes, all the states were not represented, several having, seceded. The result being anuonaced, the wildest scan* of excitement ensued, both

indoors and out.

Tbs seceders organised, by appointing Caleb Cushing, (the seceding chairman of the other convention,) their cha man. Without much difficulty they formed their ticket, by nominating for the Presidency. John C. Breckeoridge, off Kentucky, the present Vice President, end Joseph Lene, of Oregon, for Vice President. And so ended the Baltimore convention. What action tbo seceders, at Richmond take, we have not, at this writing, been apprised. We doubt not the; will adopt the nominee of the seceders at Baltimore. In the Baltimore seceders convention, twenty-two states were re-prewnUd, though oot all w:th

fall delegations.

FOtTEIH OF JULY We are glad 10 Me that onr patriotic (mods at Taekahoe. are making an early move for the proper observance of onr nation's birthday, as may be seen by their published programme in another column. Such celebrations, properly conducted, esnnot well be prised to highly. They sen? to keep in mind the value and Importance of the high bequest vouchsafed to us by a kind overruling Providence, through the patriotic struggles of onr Revolution-

ary Sires.

We cannot wtdl over estimate the disinterested patriotism, the self-sacrificing de- ‘ rotiou.atid the noble daring of those who sealed the brqncst with their blood, so profusely spilt; but we should not forget that there was a higher wisdom ami power, t« which we owe more than even to our noble tires—the wisdom nnd power of'One whe holds the nations of the earth in his fisfc abd before whom they are but as grass

hoppers.

No one, who carefully views the history of our country, can fail to discover, that, in a peculiar manner, that history bos been one of Providential care and protection ; and if Iber* is a fault, which i^a as a nation are liable to ran into, to- our overthrow, it is forgetfulness'of the Author of 00r success nod prefeperity. And let it be remembered, that though we have been the special object of Divine care, if wo cease to acknowledge Him, dark clouds will over shadow us. No nation on earth has ever been more especially the favorite of Heaven than the Je*s, and yet, notwilhstanding they were, in so peculiar a sense, the chosen seed, still, when they became vain in their imagifiati on, and forgetful of their Heav-.-aoly. Benefactor, He suffered them to be icattered, and brought into captivity; and to day they are a living monument of the truth, that no past or present favor can guarantee against future evil, if the recipients of that favor-hecomp forgetful of the Great Dirpcnser of It.

Firtiluzees.—To the tillers of the soil'k there are several questions of importance. The adaptation of crops to different soils end climates, the preparation of the soil for those crops, the time and manner of planting them 4c., are all important considerations. But tfaere.is no consideration more important than the proper selection of manures—the adaption .of them to different still. It is well known to practical farmers, that a feitiliaer which may act well upon one soil, is utterly worthless another. It is also admitted by many of our best ferment, that there ie no bnier, nor cheaper manure forjur s >il than super phosphate of limn ; aad hence lar^e quantities of It are used annually in tbiseeuety This article is usually prepared from burned bones. Now thi* prooess of bomiag must destroy the organic matfor contained in the bones, which comprises about one third of the whole substance, and leaves nothing but tbe earthy metier. Aud the question urises—Is this organic matter use* fui as a manure ? This is composed of-, carbon, hydrogej. nitrogen and oxygen, being nearly the same in composition as the hair, wool aad skin of animals, which are admitted by scientific men, aud proved by practical men, to be important ferlilixere ol lh . e 1Iboc * conclude that .the uTaoure prepared from the row bone ii preferable to that prepared fripi those which have been burned ; and pretty thoroughly establishes this theory.' This preparation,.we believe, is only menu factured by Messrs. Baugh & Sous, No. 20South Wharves, Philadelphia; and our farmers areiuvited latest for themselves the theory, sad tbe result of the experience of others, who certify to its superior qualities.
