TRANSPLANTING—SHADE TREES.
There is not a shrub, vine, plant, or tree
to be found in our fields and forests, that
is not susceptible of a high degree of im
provement, if taken up late in fall or early
in the spring, properly trimmed and trans
planted in good rich soil near ourdwellings. j
Their change for the better soon becomes
apparent. Take, for instance, young ches.
nut trees from the mountain, lop off as
much of their tops as you leave of their
roots; set them out as you would our ap- j
pie trees, not deeper in the soil than they
have stood.. They have a rapid growth,
and if well preserved will spread proliiical
ly, producing a nut three times as large as
those generally brought to the market, and
of better flavor. The hickory tree will do
the same. All will bear graftings as well
as a pear tree. Experiments in this line
will cost but little.
Were Ia lawgiver in the land, I would
enjoin upon the cultivation of shade trees
wherever there was a cluster of houses—a
severe penalty should be inflicted on all
who injured or despoiled them, and the de
struction of a tree should be a capital crime.
I would choose for my trees, those of my
own country—the maple, the ash, the hick
ory, and the elm should hold the first rank.
I would plant them by the road side, at :
convenient distances, so that the traveller j
might enjoy the shade. I would rear them
about every church and school house, that
the aged might rest their limbs and the
young indulge their sports beneath them.

EFFECTS OF CULTIVATION ON !
CLIMATE.
Without cultivation few climates would
be healthy or agreeable. In countries to
which the labor of civilized men has never
been extended, the rivers spreading them
selves over the low grounds, form pestilen
tial marshes; and forests, thickets, and
weeds, are so numerous and impenetrable
as to prevent the earth from receiving the
beneficial influence of the sun's rays. The
air, from these causes, is constantly filled
with noxious exhalations. Hut the efforts
of the human race, conducted with skill
and perseverance, produce a surprising
change: marshes are drained, rivers em
banked, the soil broken up by the plough,
is exposed to the sun and wind, and the
clearing away of the forests raises the tem
perature and allows a freer circulation of
the atmosphere. There is little doubt that
many parts of Europe enjoy a milder cli
mate now than they did in the time of the
Romans, or at periods much more recent.
Several districts in North America have
experienced, as the country has become
more widely settled, a similar improve
ment of climate. The destruction of for
ests may, however, be carried to a perni
cous extent, either by depriving a country
of shelter from particular winds, or (espe
cially in hot climates,) by lessening too
much the quantity of moisture, it being
well known that there is a great evapora
tion from the leaves of vegetables. The
sultry atmosphere and dreadful droughts of
the Cape de Verd Islands are owing to the
destruction of the forests, and Greece, Italy
and other countries, are said to have been
deteriorated in climate from the same cause.
It is attributed to this also that the southern
part of Iceland is more accessible than for
merly to the cold which proceeds from the
Arctic Ocean.
NEW DESCRIPTION OF COTTON.
The New Orleans Bulletin gives us the
information of the discovery of anew spe
cies of Cotton. It states that “anew spe
cies of Cotton has been discovered by Mr.
L. C. Hornsby, of Covington, La. He
says the bush grows 8 to 10 feet high,
branching out in proportion, and producing
from two to three thousand pounds to the
acre.. This cotton is of long staple, and
very fine texture. Mr. Hornsby thinks it
as fine as ordinary silk. He says one seed
was found two years ago in a chest of tea,
imported from China ; he planted it, and
saved the seed which was its production,
planted them and now offers a few for sale.
If this cotton proves as good as represent
ed, we can then count upon anew era in
the cultivation of the great staple. We
think at least some attention should be paid
to it by our planters.

HOW TO PRESERVE FRUIT.
We have been informed by a gentleman
who had practical proof of its success, of a
new mode of keeping fruit fresh for the ta
ble, as grapes, plumbs, &c., a long time
after they have been gathered. It is sim
ply to alternate them in layers with cotton
batting in clean stone jars, and place them
secure from frost. The dis-

BACON.
The kinds most celebrated are, the West
phalia, principally brought from Ham
burgh ; the Hampshire, from England ;
and in the United States, the Virginian or
Southern hams generally. It is not known
that there is any thing peculiar in the feed
ing or pickling the Hamburgh hams, but
their superiority is attributed to the man
ner in which they are smoked. This is
performed in the third or fourtli stories of
buildings, to which the smoke is conducted
in tubes, from oak or maple chips, in the
cellar of the building : in passing this dis
tance, the vapor, which smoke usually
holds, is deposited, and the bams are per- 1
fectly dry and cool during the whole pro
cess. The Hampshire bacon is made from
[Kirk not scalded in dressing, but deprived
of the hair by quick fires of straw ; this
singeing is repeated two or three times, as
the case may require, when the hog is cut
up, pickled, and carefully smoked ; the
hams are particularly hard and fine, which
is attributed to the skin not having been
softened by scalding.
The great defects in smoking commonly
arc, the meat is placed too near the fire and
the smoke-house is too tight; it is, there
fore, in consequence kept too warm by the
fire, and the condensation of .the vapor
keeps them damp ; dryness, while smoking,
is indispensable to good bacon.
From the Baltimore American.
Dr. Perrine.
We published a few days ago a short no
tice of this excellent man, whose recent
death by the hands of savages at the mas
sacre of Indian Key was one of the most
melancholy events of that bloody affair. —
We find in the Newark Advertiser a more
detailed account of the life and character
: of Dr. Perrine, some particulars of which
I will be interesting to our readers.
Dr. P. was a native of Connecticut. He
resided for many years in the northern part
of South America, as consul for the Uni
ted States, and became intimately acquain
ted with the Provinces of Oampeaehy—
Yucatan and Sizal. These districts a
bound in valuable plants. It became a fa
vorite object with Dr. Perrine to introduce
such of these as seemed most suitable into
the southern portion of the U. States—be
ing convinced that the staples of the tropics
both for food and manufacture would thrive
in our Southern soil and climate. Some
of his letters written at Campeachy to
friends in the United States found their way
into the public journals, and were read
witli much interest.
During the session of Congress of 1837
and ’3B, Dr. Perrine was in Washington.
He obtained the use of the room assigned
in the Capitel to the Committee on Agricul
ture, where he arrayed some specimens of
fibrous plants and their fibres, for the ex
amination of members of Congress. The
account goes on to say :
He had also laid before both branches a
vast amount of infornlation, describing the
habits of different varieties of useful plants
and demonstrating that the sand barrens of
theSouth,and their impracticable morasses,
for all other purposes not merely useless,
but deleterious, might be made to produce,
by self-propagation, and almost without
labor, the various fibrous plants which
yield the fibres from which Manilla and
Sisal rope, and all the great and beautiful
variety of grass cloths are manufactured.
The marshes bear one class of plants,
and the most arid sands another class, and
the climate is sufficiently warm through
Florida, Alabama, Georgia, and South
Carolina, while some kinds will thrive as
far north as Virginia. It was Dr.P’s.strong
desire to see those productions introduced
into all that section of country that the de
cline of cotton, rice and tobacco crops from
the exhaustion of the soil, might be made
up by this spontaneous and prolific cultiva
tion of those immense tracts now esteemed
valueless, giving anew and permanent
source of wealth and prosperity. It was
for aid in this great and philanthropic pro
ject that he asked the aid of the Govern
ment —not in money, but in a grant of those
same barren lands which some of the offi
cers of our army have pronounced worth
less and uninhabitable.
With all these material of his labor,
Dr. Perrine remained nearly unnoticed for
two or three months. In this neglected
condition we first knew of him, his labors
and his projects ; and among the most plea
sant recollections of our acquaintance is
that which we look upon with greatest sat
isfaction, that it was in our power, in con
sequence of a favorable position, to call
the attention of a great many members of
Congress to the valuable specimens and in
teresting illustrations of Dr. Perrine.—
The north and the south at last became ac
quainted with the subject he had so deeply
at heart. They saw as he did a splendid
scheme for the increase of national wealth,
by the improvement of otherwise barren
soils, for the production of new materials
for useful manufactures; and his simple
request that he might locate a settlement
for the , propagation of tropical plants in
Florida upon government lands, was gran
ted, with the privilege of purchasing any
surrounding lands hereafter when the Indi
ans should be removed and the lands and
hogs offered for sale at the regular market
price. This gave him a right to enter up
on the land, and it was all he asked. It
was readily granted.
After this, Dr. Perrine came to the north
and spent some considerable time in Boston,
making enquiries into the wants of manu
facturers, the kinds of fibre most likely to
be demanded, and the kinds of machinery
which would best cleanse it from the pulp
and skin. He did this with a prudent fore
cast for the final prosperity of his estab
lishment. He was waiting, also, for the
termination of Indian hostilities, that he
and such coadjutors as might associate
with him in the enterprise might sit down
in security. His plan was to collect a
number of poor families, who were indus
trious and of good character, and willing
to migrate to Florida! He would then have
given them lands from his grant, and would,
for a time have ensured them a subsistence,
till, by their labor in carrying out his pro
ject, they might support themselves or ac
quire wealth.

BUSINESS.
&m. a
f 13HE Subscribers, intending to conti
± nue the COMMISSION BUSINESS
the ensuing year at their old stand on
JACKSON-STREET, offer their ser
vices to their friends and the public, assur
ing those who may favor them with their
business, that they have storage sufficient
to place all the produce they may get, un
der houses, and will not have Cotton ex
posed to the weather, nor have it placed in
a spot where it cannot at all times be found
for shipment; and they say the safety of
their Warehouses, from floods or high
rivers, have been recently tested, as there
was NOT A BALE OF COTTON WET
BY THE LATE HIGH FLOOD. The
location of the Warehouses, to men of
business, are particularly desirable, being
in the immediate vicinity of the Railroad
Depot, Globe Hotel, Mansion House, and
Banks.
They feel grateful for former patronage,
and solicit a continuation ; assuring those
who may favor them with their business,
that no exertions shall be wanting to pro
mote their interest. Their charges will be
as moderate as other Commission Houses
in this place.
