FREMONT AND HIS RELIGION.

esting account of an interview with Col. Fre
mont ou the subject of hi alleged Pupal ten
dencies, by a gentleman well known as a
wholesnlo xtntioner ia this city, and a resilient
at Factoryville, Staten Island. No one who
knows the narrator will question the entire
We have uoeVi'Vof uon V "" Mtnieiit,
.!,....:..,., .r ;i.,in,.r.P.Biiiut of all
tho causes ulso that led to it. 'but as ihPf ,
were mentiou-d to us without unv permission
to Dumisii. we nave not leit at niiertv to muKe ,
them the subject of oditorial comtiient. The
gentleman himself very properly stated them
publicly on Saturday night, as 'will be seen
by our report of a spontaneous Fillmore meet-
ing ou the Island, and we need not therefore
impose any further restrnint upon ourselves ,
respecting them. Had the whole story been I
told all the antecedents id" the actual inter-
view it would have been decidedly nnuittinir. j
revealing how closely every uccess to tho !
disCingiiised Republican candidate is carefully
ntirl jeiilously watched by the "friends" who
seem tu have been appointed his custodians.
Renders of the Commercial will bear us
witness thut, with the exception (r one very
slight allusion to the subject and even that
studiously avoided any expression of our own
belief in the premises the leligiou creed of
Col. Freemont has not in any way been refer
red to in our column?. We have no relish
for we have indeed a strong aversion to. per
sonalities of uuy kind, uud espei ialiy of that
kind, in political wurTure; and to the latest
time that the Commercial pays its daily visits
to its readers, we trust it will preserve this
rule of property and courtesy. We have
more than once said, and now repent, that
we find no warrant in the constitution of the
United States, or iu the (renins of American
institutions, for excluding ti citizen H-oni any

distinction of this kind.
The rollowing is the statement to which
the Commercial reft-rs ;
Mr. U. F. Cook mrde somo interesting and
important statements respectiui; un interview
lie had with Col. Fremont on the subject or
his alleged Romanism. It was in substance
this : Some friends having desired to enlist
tho speaker in the cause of so-called Repub
licanism, he ex pressed a desire to have all
doubts removed on this mooted question, but
said that nothing short of an assurance from
Col. Fremont's own lips would satisfy him.
An interview wus arrannod for. The object
of tho visit being understood by the Colonel,
he avowed himself ready to answer anv ques
tion proposed. Mr. Cook proposed the fol
lowing and received to each the answer an
nexed : "Were yon married by a Roman
Catholic priest ?" I "was." the Colonel's lip
quivering as he spoke. ''Did you ut the time
believe in. or profess to believe in, the Roman
Catholic religion V '1 did not." "Have you
before or since, or ut any time, professed the
Catholic religion t" "1 have not." Hero Mr.
Cook bowed, to sightly that he hud no more
questions to ask. Col. Fremont then volun
teered some remarks to the following ellect
that while in California hu attended iiochurch,
and that ho occupied his Sundays in reading
and writing, ami in uttending to such mutter
or business as ho thought ol impoituuce. Mr
Fremont further suid : "I urn frequently in
terrogated by all parties on this subject. 1
presume tnu dulegution now waiting lor me
up stair wish to interrogate me ou this point.
When they do, 1 shall put the most favora
ble, construction on the mutter that I can.
wish to ollond none, but to secure the ' votes
of all. Only this very morning 1 have a let
ter from Maine, saying thut unless 1 make u
personal denial ul Humanism, and that I am
or have bueu a Romuu Catholic, thut State
will bu lost to the Republicans ; und another

There is now a deputation waiting for mi'
wnuie erraiiu, I uoum not, is me same, ii is
best to say as little about this matter as pos
sible, and uiUbt muuage the thing us well is
we can, so as to get the voles of both sides,
Here the interview terminated. Mr. Cook's
slutemeut was listened to with profound in
terest ; and utter heartily cheering for the
American candidate, and a very coidiul vote
of thanks to Col. liurrett for his courtesy

lively Interest In the proceeding. '
Upon this statement the Commercial com
ments t '
If the interview with him elsewhere spoken
of to have been the only ocrnsfnn on whi. h he
had been interrogated, aed that interview
had been closed immediately .Iter the answer
to the third juration, we should have rruched
been compelfed, in all courtesy, tn accept
Col. Fremont's point blank denial of his Ro
manism as conclusive upon that point, and
should have placed it upon reeord a tbnnsnnd
fold more gludly than we do the conclusion
which his subsequent reniaikstnhiscateehist
and the unsatisfactory results of other inter
rogatories liuvo forced upon onr mind. This
is not idensuiit train of remark tn pirsue,
and we deeply regret that there is occasion
for it lint we ank any fair and candid mun
wliut value ran bo attached, under all the
circtiinies nf the case, to the seemingly direct
and unequivocal answers to Mr. Caok'a
equally direct and pointed inquiries? When
the interrogator appeared satisfied with the
answers, and even, as we understand, express
sed himself so. (as who wonld not that wus
not himself incapable of duplicity 7) and
seemed to have been converted into a politi
cat friend and ally, then Col. Fremout deli
berately avowed that his allegation of Ro
manism had been his prineipnl difficulty, and
that hiii policy ten to give such aninrers tn the
querists respectively as would secure the votes
of alt.
No wonder if the gentlemen to whom this
revtdntion was mude, from that moment n it
that the answer which he bud supposed had
been given to him in good faith vtf re of no
vulue whatever j that the motive which
prompted them had been unwittingly betray
ed ; Unit their design was to obtain ti e votes'
of tlm interrogator and the Protest ints be
represented ; and that the deputation then
waiting for an interview mighi. if Rimunists,
reeeive answers juHt the reverse so thut their
votes also might be obtained. "1 have to
frame my replies so as to get the votes of
both." "We miii-t ssy as little alsiut the
natter as possible, and manage the thing the
best way wh can, so as to secure the votes of
both side." That Col. Fremont and his
advisers buve thus "managed the mutter," we
think is capable of demnnstrntion ; and il it
be demonstrated, we respectfully submit that
"both sides" must feel that tho Republican
condidHto for the Presidency has no cluim
upon the support of either.
We repent, however, thut a man's religions
creed, nr bis being without a creed, is no
constitutional disqualifications forothVp. Hut
his fellow-citizens have an undoubted right,
when he solicits their suffrage, courteously
: to ask tor information respecting Ins views
I upon questions which enter largely into the
' popular view of a mull's qualifications for

A SHANGHAI FLU0 MUSS.
Mr..Bovd is a very valuable citizen, but we
regret to say. very easily irritated. This fact
ja known to'u couple uf'butcher boys, bv the
names or Donnelly uud Smith, who reside in
the immediate vicinity of Mr. Boyd. If there
js tiny article in tin. 'world that Mr. H. is
down on. it is n Shaniihai rooster. For this
prejudice. Mr. H. is indebted to a purchuse
which he mode during the 'hen fever.' During
that excitement, Mr. B. bonght a pair of
imported chickens, for which lie paid (63.
lie kept them a year, and suPercd u loss of
125 S25 in feed, and SlO'i for damages,
in ill to n Mr. F.merf, because tliu 'mule bird'
attacked his little boy. Henry Silvester, and
tore his nose open. Since that day, Mr. ii.
has beer, down on Shanghais.
This fact is well known to the butcher boys
aforesaid. On Monday lust they felt like
fun and came to the conclusion that they
would turn Mr Boyd's prejudices to account.
They accordingly concocted the rollowing
advertiseni' lit, and inserted it ia the Albany
: Knickerbocker :
WANTED A pair of first quality Shang
hai Roosters. For tino blooded fowls $15
'; will b paid
W. C. S. COYD.
I.idius Street, continued.
An offer of this kind or course rather took
the crowd. At such prices, there was not a
bird fancier in the city who was not willing
to supply Mr. Boyd with all the 'fine blood'
he cuuld possibly wunt. 1 tie urst operator
that appeared wus a dealer from the Bowery.
Is Mr lioyd in r
No. he's not ; and if he was, what business
is it to you ?'
I've bn ught them chickens.
What t hickens?'
'Those he advertised for this morning. A
pair of full blooded Shanghais. Read thut.'
Here the Bowery operator drew out-the
Knickerbocker, und requested the housemaid
to run her eye over 'thut advertisement.'
And Mr. lioyd is not in r
No, sir; und what's mote, he won't be in
till evening. He's gone to Luuuburg, ou a
sleigh-ride.'
But I can leave the chickens, 1 suppose,
providing 1 don't ask for the money till he
returns!'
'Of course. Tlace them in the cellar.'
The Bowery dealer did us requested, and
left the house, promising to call about tea-
time. He liuil baiiliy got aroiino uiecorner,
before a young man who formerly lended
shop for Joe Clurk, made his appearance
with 'the killingest pair oi cmcKeus ever
seen in America !'
'Is Mr. Boyd in!'
'N'. he's not.'
'Well, here's them thickens he advertised
for. Where shall I put thi'iu till he conies
back V
Throw them into the cellar, bad luck to
them.'
Mr. Clark's 'young man obeyed orders,
i.nd then followed the Bowery boy around the
corner. Mr. Clark's young man wus followed
by nineteen other dealer, each with a pa.r
of Shanghai roosters in his baud. I hey
were all placed in the cellar. .Mr. Uuvii
arrived home uboiit 5 o'clock, P. M. He
went up stairs, pulled off hi coat, and then
repaired to tlie trout uasemem.
W hut's all thut row. Margery?'
'The black cock has kdl tint yallerone, and
is now crowing over it.'
'Orowuia over it. what do yoo mean V
'W hy, that we've bad the devil's owu time
since vou ve been gone.
With what?"
With them Shangbuis.'
What Shunchais ?'
Them you put up in the Knickerbocker.'
.. . i hi,....
iu I no jviiicKvruocaer are ymi
tulkinir about I -
'Tim Shanghais, sir. Nineteen fair, and
some ot 'em big enough to trot a coach.'
'And who brought uitietcen pair or Shang
hais here ?'
'The men who owned thern.' .
'And for what purpose t'
Hecaase you pat thkrh in the Koickerbock.'
'Nonsense I've no Shanghais in the
Knickerbocker, arid want iiodo throw them
int'i the street.'
' 'Not I , Ity my (roth, I'd as Soon take
grin of a kitchen lotikey.'
11 ere the twenty-Seven full blooded roosters
started crow that miirht have been beard
as far as Troy and bark again.
'Will you throw those chickens into the
street T
'Niver! I'd sooner lose iny place and
both hands.'
Well then. I'll do it myseir.'
Here Mr. lloyd seir.d an axe helve and
went in. In about fifteen minutes right
Shanghais were placed hors du combat, while
the other nineteen tin the opposite side walk
were fighting for the pre-emption right r a
piece or doiigh-imt. Mr. Koyd, having
ilcs red tho house of the 'cursedest thing
that ever was invented,' returned to the
supper room for the purpese of making tea.
He had just faced bis first cup mid piece of
toast, done 'on the first side,' when a rap was
heard ut the front door.
'See who that is. Margery.'
Margery obeyed orders, and in a moment
returned.
Who is it r
'Five gentleman who wish to see Mr. Boyd.'
'Take them in the front parlor aud say to
tbem that I'll be up in a niomeut.'
Yes. Sir.'
Margery 'left the presence,' and carried
out the order occonling tu the instructions
received from her employer. -
- In a few moments Mr! Boyd, finished up
his tea uud toast, and called in his callers.
'Well, gentlemen, what do you wish Y
Pay for them cocks.'
'What cocks Y'
'Those Shanghai cocks we brought this
morning.'

Guano.
Ma. EuiTfin iThe extensive onrof gust f
as a fertiliser, is a sufficient proof ot its wort!
jet much more good may be obtuined from
the application of it. to part cular crops and
at particular times, than at others t and its
the rollowing remarks I shall give to you the
result of my observations on its applications
and eBt'cta. At the present price of guano,
obout per ton. it is quite as cheap as
barnyard manure, and can be obtained much'
easier and with much less lubor and expense,
particularly to those who live soma distunco
from the city. It can be easily transported
to almost any distance, ahdll bss been found
to produce equally us good crops as barnyard
manure, and these are its great reeomnu filia
tions. H farmers' would more'ger.eritlly sow
it on their grass lands in the spring, they
woulJ not complain of short crops. It should
be sown i.1 March just before a rain, or dur
ing a dump time, and at the rate of two bun
dred pounds per ucre. A i:nmber (d fol liieis
in this neighborhood did this lust spring, and
they had equally as good crops as they have
had for a number of year, some of them
mowing more than two tons of boy to tho .
acre. Tho great advantage of opply
ing it so early, is that it gives the glass
a good start, early in tho spring, and
should it be afterwards (us it was the past
Season), the drought d es not affect it near
ns much, partly owing to its being hiore
forward, and to its shading the ground so
that it retains the moist uro u uch longer. If
guano is used on corn, it is better to sow it
broadcast before harrowing the ground ; but
I never could see much udviintagp to come
from its nso on that crop. I think it is pref
erable to put the barnyard manure oh corn,
and apply the guano on the wheat, in the
pluce of manure. By this plan you can get
as good a crop or coin, and q in ly us good
wheat as if ymi bad applied the manure to it.
I usuully sow ubout 400 lbs. of guano to
the acre, before it is plowed for the lust tim.
and plow it immediately. 1 prefer mixing it
with sand and ashes, as by that means we ran
get it sowed much evenef. Where it has
been lined during the last three or four years
the wheat wus quite ns good, and in some in
stances better than the same field, which bad
heavy cont or barnyard manure; tho grass
took as well, and the next crop wnsifi iinwio
inferior to the manured part, thus clearly
proving that it is lasting in its effects.
There ure many farmers who sow their po
tato patches with winter grain, without ony
manure, after the potatoes have been picked,
and generally get about enough wheat to pay
for the seed sown If they would give the
patches two plowing afler (life potatoes are
tukeu off, and Sow 3C0 lbs. of gtmno to the
acre, there is no doubt but thai they would
have as good wheat as on the remaining part
of the field. I have found gimfio to utt wit ii

American Reapers in Frar.ce.
The Paris correspondent or the New York
Commercial Advertiser, wtililig under date
of 7th inst., says :
Another great trial of reaping machine,
bus just tukeu place on the farm of the Count
Dei uuger near I at is. I he three winning
machines, in fact tho oiily three which fiu'sliect
their work, were American two built lifter
McCormick's model and one ulter Hiism-js.
Seven machines started in, and but tl f e
came out. The loa -bine of M. iiella, limit
after the McConnick model, reaped 2J ucres
in 2 hours and Ii minutes ;' the machine of
M. Laurent, also uficr the McCormitk model,
reaped its 2 acres in 2 hours and l.'i minutes;
while that in Mr. Dray, Kuglish, u professed
improvement of the Hussey inuctiiiie occupied
hours and 4U minutes. I no .llainiey
muchine, which is un excellent cutter, und
ranks in these trials generally second to
McCormick, wus arrested on this occasion by
the owner of the wheat, because it threshed
out the grain too much by the rapid move
ment ol its beater.
The American machines tried on this occa
sion were built in Fiance, (with theexcep-
tion of the Prav-lliiHscy muchine.) and all
of them bore modifications which they tteio
pleased to cull improvements. But Mr.
Mclvcnzie. the intelligent ajrent ol JlcCor-
inick iu Kurope, tells me that not a single
modification bits been put upon tnese ma
chines which docs not diminish their speed
and certainty, and that if he would ulloiv
them lull scope they would soon "improve"
the machines out of existence. The curse of
the Frei.ch nation is a superabundance of
ideas without any knowledge of ex ciitic.li.
A machine that is simple they cannot under
stand. The minute a French inventor look
al the McCormick machine, lie says, '-Oh,
1 ran add improvements to that machine
that will give it double ils force," and us sum
as he touches it he destroys it, autt what is
more he can never tell why he has destroyed
it. The samu thing has taken place with the
Hewing machines. Repeated attempt have
been made in Puriu to improve these ma
chines, and they are obliged Invariably to
return to the simplicity of the American
models in every particular, and even then
they cannot manufacture, machines which
equal those which unive from New York;
These frequent failures, however, have nearly,
though unjustly, brought these useful ma
chines into disrepute.
Tho triiil of feapisg machines, of which t
buve just spoken, was a part of the exercises
required by thu jury ol thu late Universal
Agricultural Kxhibiiiou. At the time of tho
exhibition there was no wheat to cut, and a
trial was madu in grass, at which .11 aiming'
machine drew I lie highest prize. The same
jury presided on the pitbent occasion, si d
how I hey ure going to reconcile the reward
they buve now made with the former one, 1
cannot imagine. At the last trial, tho jiir
gave thu two McCdrriiick machines four ban'
dred francs and silver medal euch, and to tho
llusley machine prixe cf three hundrd
francs und a bronze medal,
