j hir:o contrast to the style in which such
subjects have been usually treated by Eu- i
! i ope an writers:
I “ Many absurd statements concerning !
the organization olthe American Navy have
been circulated in Europe There is none
! mote false or more foolish than the story
1 hat y oung mates o( merchantmen are or ev
er have been, taken for the first steps of the
service. Boys, between the ages of twelve
and eighteen, receive the appointment of;
j midshipmen, and after having served acer- •
i tain number of years, they are examined j
| let Lieutenants. These examinations are j
very rigid, and tin y are conducted with the j
gi eaiest impartiality. While the writer was 1
in America, lie formed an mtima y wi h the
commander of a frigate. One day, at Wash
ington, he entered the room of ihe Captain,
just as a naval officer of high ank wnsquit
i ling it. “ You met one of the Commis
i sioners at the door,” said the writer's ac
i qunintance; “he has been to beg I would
make his son, who is iust ordered to my
I ship, mind his books. * hey tell me the
| young fellow is clever enough, and a good
sailor ; but lie has been twice defeated in
| try ing to get through his mathematics, be
j cause lie will not study. * In what other
navy would a son of a Lord of the Admiral
j ty lose his commission in two examinations,
j for tho want of a little mathematics? The
j most severe system of examination, not on
! ly into professional qualifications, hut into
1 moral character, is now rigidly observed in
| the American army and navy. The lower
: r anks of both branches of their service are
| admirably filled. Midshipmen, instead of
being taken lrorn the merchant service, have
been often taken from the service under
furloughs, to command merchant ships.-
No man in the world is more jealous of his
rank than the American navy or army offi
cer. It would far exceed the power of the
President to push his own son an inch be
j vend tiie steps he is entitled to by age and
j service. The Senate would refuse to ap
prove of such a nomination. The same
1 impartiiality is obseived with respect to
command;.—-A Captain or commander is
| not only sure of getting a ship, when his
I turn conies, but lie must have an excellent
j excuse; or he will be made to take one.—
Both establishments are kept within reason
j able bounds, and promotions are slow and
weary. There is not a single officer ne
| cessmily on half pay, either in the land or
sea service. There is not now, nor has
, been lot twenty years, an officer in the A-
I me/ican navy, in command of a ship, the
j four or five oldest excepted, who did not
regularly outer the marine as a inidsliip
; man.”
Live Oak —lt is well known that Gov
ernment has, for some yeare past, been
directing its attention to the preservation
and growth if the Live Oak Tree, which
is such an important material in ship build
ing. In the Pensacola Gazette of the 17th
tilt., we find the following article on this
interesting subject:—
“We have made some inquiries respect
ing the cultivation of Live Oak on Deer
Point, opposite this town. The land pur
chased from Gen. Call, Judge Brackbridge,
Col. Fenwick, and Cos!. White, together
with that reserved by Government, con
stitute a body of 20 or 38,000 acres, bound
ed by Yellow Water Bay on one side, and
the sound of St. Rosa on the other. The
land immediately at the point, about 4000
acres, is all live oak hammock, with a bor
der of a thrifty young growth along the wa
tt r, from Ito 300 yards wide. But the
interior, although well set with oak, is
shrubby, having been subject to repeated
fires from the pine woods. Yet from the
similarity of the soil and general growth,
there is little doubt, that it is as well adapt*
ed to the purpose as the border. This
border or selvage is about 10 miles in cir
cuit, aud, besides the young growth, con
tains a number of la <*♦ trees, fit for imme
diate use. Much of this valuable timber
has been cut away at former periods, for
the construction of vessels; itnlie year 1804,
a Spanish forty four, the Pensacolenea,
was bui t at Navy Cove, from the timber
procured at the point.
W r e are informed that Judge Bracken
bridge was requested to suggest to the Go
vernment a plan for the management of the
tract of land reserved, nn-1 for the preserva
tion of the livo oak generally That gen
tleman accordingly communicated one,
which was approved and ordered to be car
ried into execution. The out line was as
follows:
1. To cloar away all the foreign growth
from among the young and thrifty live
ak% so as to give ’ltem their entire pos
session of the ground, to prune them of all
dead limbs, aud give them snflicient space
to expand.
2. To cut down the large full grown
tri es fit for use, and secure the timber un
der sheds at the Navy Yard; and those
likely still to improve, to be cleared and
pruned.
3. To make experiments of planting out
the young trees, in the open grassy pine
• woods adjoining the hammock, in places
>< Ip ll! Jilt , ’ll',!ving )'Ou(iSu<u><ll
them to keep oh ih<’ foes.
About two months ago, the Judge re
ceived instructions to appoint an overseer,
1 to liii o 20 hands hu one year, and to com
mem e opeiatioiu- to tlie forgoing plan’ He
according commenced immediately, and the
win k under the direction of Mr. Davis lias
been carried on with the most llatte-fing
success
The trees cleared out airpady from boati
tiful groves, and are as ‘carefully pruned as
those ol an orchard. Thev are divided
into four classes; beginning with the v.oung
cst, which are under 2 inches in drametor,
and are called nursery trees—'h* second
class, are between 2 and 6 inches in diam
eter, a id generally from 15 to 30 feet in
flight—the 3J are from 6 inches to a. suffi
cient size for immediato use—tiie 4lli con
sists of lull grown trees.
Os the first class immense numbers have
been cleared and pruned—of tlie second,
about 8000, and of the third, about 2000
have been cleared, allowing them alf suf
ficient spare to expand. At a moderate
estimate, the Judge thinks the second
class, those between 2 and 6 inches, will be
fit for use in 20 years—those of the third
class, 6 inches and upwards, on an average,
in 10 years—As the sizes vary se me will
arrive at maturity long before other*.—
Tiie ground will bdd a greater number
than would stand erect, if full grown.
Ol the 2d and 3d classes, tho Judge
thinks at a low estimate, he will he aide to
clear out from 20 to 30000 this year. The
growth, which has been cut away, consists
of hickory, water oak, and cedar pint*.
The live ouk, like the chestmt and locust,
springs from the roots and slump of the
mother plant, so that by taking proper
pains, and by confining tlie operation to
those spots, where they have been planted
by nature, the danger of the destruction of
this valuable timber may be prevented, still
the forming of nurseries from tlie experi
ment, and although the period before the
acorns will become tiocs fit for use, most
be great when compared with the duration
of human life, yet it may be short in com
parison wiih the age of a nation.
England is only now beginning to use
those trees, which were planted 70 or 80
years ago The tree, however, which has
the benefit of ancient and extended root, is
of very rapid growth. The live odks,
present in Jude Blackenbridge’s door yard
have, in 5 years increased from the diame
ter of 4 inches to 8.
If the experiment at Deer Point should
equal present expectations the plan can be
put in operation on a more extended scale
at different places along the coast of Flori
da, Georgia, and South Caroline, and the
several islands along their coasts, which are
now generally ‘veil set with this valuable
growth. According to tlie reports of tho
Commissioners, who have been employed
in examining aud selecting live oak along
our coast, there are several millions of live
oak trees, on the sound of St. Rosa, and
the bay of Choctawhatchie, and also situa
ted as to have the advantage of navigable
water to our Navy Yard. If 5000000 trees
can be preserved from trespassers, and
fires, they will soon become of incalculable
benefit for Naval purposes.
Establishments mav be made, where our
siiperanuated and disabled s'oameti may be
profitably employed in a light healthy 1 bor,
at the same time that they are taken care
of instead of being turned adrift in old age,
or when no longer able to encounter the
hardships of the sea.
It has been said, that there are but two
kinds of wood fit for ships of war, the tique
of the East Indies, and the live oak, and
that the latter is preferred; but it is becom
ing so scarce cspecia iiy on public, lands,
that it is difficult to fill a contract, for the
frame of a sloop of war, on any thing like
reasonable terms. The live oak trees,
which have been planted in the vicinity of
gentlemen’s seats in Georgia and South
Carolina, or such as have been reserved in
their fields and suffered to remain are more
beautiful, than tfiose found in the forests,
which proves the advantage of cultivation.
There are some superb avenues near the
sea coasts in those states; that of the late
Col. Tatnall, may be mentioned, for which
large sums have been offered; but the trees
had been planted by his grandfather, and he
would not consent to cut them down.

Olhcc of the Courier, >
Charleston, April 18—7 p. M. £
late advices from Europe have
caused a depression in the C itton market, and
very little has consequently been doing in the
article during the week. Sea Islands, etc. are
nominally the same as last week, and we do not
therefore vary our general quotations of them.—
In Uplands there have been some transactions,
and a reduction in the lower qualities of about L 4
ct. has been submitted to. We now quote the
range from 7 to 9 1-2, while selections from fine
lots and fancy parcels vary from 9 1-2 to 10 hi
cents. The continued scarcity of vessels has al?o
an unfavorable efifect upon the market, and the
purchases making are generally stored m tire ex
pectation of a decline in freights.
Rice —Has also been unfavorably afFected by
recent advices both fro :i England and the Conti
nent. Prime Rice cannot now be quoted at more
than .$3, while the inferior descriptions are a
shade lower, and sales very dull.
Flour —We have reduced our general quota
lions of this article about 25 cents in the barrel;
some holders appear willing to soil at a still fur
ther reduction; but as there is little coming in,
our present rates may be sustained.
Corn —The import of the week has been heavy,
amountin'? to 32,200 bushels from North Carolina.
Three or Tour small cargoes of very superior qua
lity brought 40 cents in the early part of the week;
but a large portion of the import remained afloat
unsold on Saturday, purchasers appearing unwil
ling to pay over 38 to 40 cents, while the holders
were asking from 40 to 43 cents. The present
stock in store and on ship-board is estimated at
100,000 bushels. Oats and peas are without va
riation since our last. v ‘
Grocciics, fyc. —The demand for the country
during the week has been limited, and the grocers
in town buy bul sparingly. The Impuit of sugar*
aas been H)2 Idids. from New Orleans only; there
has been no public sale of the article; a few small
lots of New Orleans have gone off at private sale
at $6. in coflee, one sale of aboi.t lOUbags good
Luba has been made at 14 1-2 tTiio stock
on liana is said not to be large, Ifni holders aie
at our quotations. A cargo of 140 hhds fair
Havana molasses brought 2t> 1-2 cents. Spirits
inferior Fhilad. and Balt, whiskey, low proof, has
sold as low as 20 to 27 cents, but fine S York wes
tern whiskey brings 28 cents, and good N Orleans
32 to 34. For foreign spirits there is little de
mand.-and sales very heavy.
Freights. —One ship has been taken up the pre
sent week, at 1 1-4 and I 1-2 cts far cotton to Ha
vre; and a brig is loading for Greenock at 3-4d per
1; but there is not a single vessel up for Liver
pool, or any other port in Great Britain; the last
freight obtained for Liverpool was at 1 J-lClhs and
3-4d. Two or three smaller vessels have obtain
ed heights of rice to Holland during the week, at
Coshillhigs per ton. To New York, the going
rates are troin $1 to 1 1-4 and 11-2 for cotton and
/.) cts tor rice. To Boston and Frovidence, 1-2
ct per lb for cotton, and $1 a 1 1-8 per bbl for rice.

THE SUBSCRIBER
BEING about to leave the state of Georgia,
begs leave to inform the Planters and others,
that he has for sale
A Patent Rail Road Corn Mill ,
which, for its great economy ofpporer,w r er, saving of
expense in use, in proportion to the work per
formed, will be found a valuable acquisition on
plantations and neighborhoods remote from w’ater
courses. Tlie Mill is now in operation near Mr.
Bi.akb’s new Rice Mill, in the upper part of Sa
vannah, where any one desirous of purchasing
may call and examine for himself. This Spell
ing power is also better adapted to Sugar Mills,
than any animal power which has yet been applied.
The impelling power of the above Mill is ob
tained by a Circular Rail Road of wood, iron, Ac.
on a level foundation of any diameter over which
moves a frame work, one pivot in the centre,and
propelled by animal power. The great advan
tages of it are, that by increasing the diameter
of the circle, the power may be increased to any
extent. The team may be placed single, double,
treble, and so on. He resides at the City Hotel,
and at the hours of business may be found at Air.
