Da ns & Co. The appearance of this racy little eaterer for public favor is decidedly taking, and as a test of its quality, we subjoin the fol lowing leader of the second number issued on the 21st of October. This Day.—Our little Dispatch popped H its nose into the world upon a day. Hr only glorious in itself, but surrounded by a constellation of glorious days. On the 14th of October, 1806. was fought the battles of Je na and Auerstadt, which for the time being.an nihilated the Prussian monarchy. On the 17th of October. 1777, the forces of Burgoyae sur rendered to the American army at Saratoga. On the 17th, 18th, and 19th was fought the battle of Leipsic, (1813,) between the allied powers and the Emperor Napoleon. This was the most tremendous conflict that ever oc curred in Europe, since the famous battle of Chalons, which was fought between Aitila, King of the Huns, and the Roman Consul JE tius, in the reign of the Emperor Theodosius, when three hundred thousand men are said to have fallen on both sides. Not less than five hundred thousand men were engaged in the battle of Leipsic, and according to Napoleon, not less than 200,000 were left dead or wounded on the field. According to the same authority, “it was the death knell of the Em pire—the tomb of her gigantic power.” Yes erday. ' October, was rendered famous by he battle oi Novariuo, fought in 1827. This day, forty-five years ago, the combined fleets of France and Spain, which had lon® been threatening England with invasion, were totally defeated off Cape Trafalgar, by Lord Nelson.who was killed in the action. This was the most magnificent sea-fight that ever oc curred. Sixty ships of the line (among which was one of 140 guns, while several others car rind 120, 110, 100 and 90,) with ten frigates of the largest class, manned by fifty thousand seamen, were for five hours engaged in a des perate condition, yard arm to yard arm, the opposing vessel being, in many instances, so close that the rammers touched each other's sides in the act of loading. The day was one of the most beautiful that ever shone. There was a very gentle breeze stirring, and a Jong ground swell, setting into the bay of Cadiz* imparted to the vessels, as they moved into ac tion, rising and falling with the waves, a mo tion as graceful as that of an antelope. The Allies were formed in two lines, one a short distance in the rear of the other, the ships in the rear being destined to rake the enemy as they broke through the front rank of vessels. The two lines comprised thirty-three line of battle ships, and seven frigates. The English with twenty-seven line of battle ships, and three frigates, bore down upon the allied squad ron in two lines, Collingwood leading the one and Nelson the other. The object was to break the enemy’s line in two places at once, and thus either destoy him in detail, or, by drawing the vessels cut off to the assistance of those directly assailed, compel a close fight. A beautiful “October sun” shone full upon the sails of the enemy, presenting in its most attractive form the vast prize of which Nelson felt sure he should obtain possession. It was to him, doubtless, a moment of the most intense exaltation, yet ne seems to have felt assured that he would not survive the battle. He made the signal for the fleet to crowd all sail, and setting the example h ; mself. led his line in the Victory, and carried her into action while some of the s'ower sailing ships were yet several miles in the rear. When all arrange ments had been made, and before the firing had commenced, he asked Captain Hardy if he thought all bad bees done as it ought to be. When that officer replied ia the affirmative, he said, * I will amuse the fleet with a signal,” and immediately made that one which has grown into a proverb : “England expects every man to do his duty.” The shout which ran from ship to ship, until it Lad pervaded the whole fleet, was snbfjine beyond description. The result of the battle is well known. The al lied fleets were annihilated ; 19 ships of the line were taken, and the rest escaped in such a shattered condition, that seven of them, a few weeks after, fell an easy prey to a British squadron, commanded by Admiral Strachan. Napoleon’s visions of ships and colonies melt ed into air, and his marine received a blow from which it could never recover. The in vasion of England became an impossibility, and John Bull believed the ocean as much his own peculiar territory, as the fast anchored isle, until the Yankees dispelled the agreeable illusion. Forty-five years have elapsed since that great day. The old “Victory” lies moored in the harbor of Portsmouth, just as she was when Nelson breathed his last on board of her. The spot where he fell is marked bv a star ; the cabin in which he died is exhibited to the curious stranger —and on the return of this day, a salute is annually fired from her batter ies. Unchanged herself, she exists in the midst of change. A fleet more formidable than any ever dreamed of by Nelson—which have realized, in part, Napoleon’s dream of introdu cing a system of naval tactics not dependent upon the winds and waves—whose batteries would have blown them and all the “spoils of Trafalgar” into the air, or sent them to “Davy Jones’ locker” in the reefing of a topsail—has grownup around her. Could Nelson arise rom the dead, the sight would overwhelm him with astonishment. Tlie Bounty Land Bill. Department of the Interior , Oct. 3, 1850. The Congress of the United Stales, at its late session having, m a spirit of justice and liberality, passed an act “granting bounty land to certain officers and soldiers who have been engaged in the military service of the United States,” the President has esteemed it no less a privilege than a duty to adoptallthe means in his power to give prompt and efficient operation to this beneficent measure. I deem it proper, therefore, to announce to those em ’Wi to the benefits of the iaw, that with his I have caused all the neces sary form, and instructions to guide claimants in applying for and obtaining their rights to be prepared, and they are now in the hands of the primer. At the earliest practicable mo ment copies of these papers will be forwarded to each member of Cor jress, and to the clerk States C ° Urt ever y county in the United It will he his purpose to administer the law in such a manner as to make it what Congress designed it to be, a bounty to the soldier, and not to agents and speculators. The forms and the mode of proof have therefore been made as simple as possible, and every facility will be af forded to applicants to establish their just de mands. Clerks are now engaged in preparing, from the rolls on file, certificates of service, in order that those who have not received dis charges, or have accidentally lost them, may 1 not be disappointed in obtaining their just re- W The policy of this law in all .Is provisions is ,o disconrage speculation .« the claims of so , Th “ act provides “that all sales, mort letters of attorney, and other iuslrn merits of writing going to affoct the title or 1 claim or any warrant hereinbefore provided for, made or executed prior to the issue, shall be null and void to all intents and purposes what soever, nor shall such certi'icate or warrant, or the land obtained thereby, he in any wise affected by, or charged with, or subject to, the payment of any debt or claim incurred by such officer or soldier prior to the issuing of the patent.” In his judgment the issue contemplated in the body of the above recited clause of the law is the issue of the patent, Consequently, all sales, ! transfers, assignments,and incumbrancesofsol diers’ landclaims.made before the emanation of the patents, are void, and will be disregarded by the Government Speculators are therefore admonished that they can acquire no rights by purchase which will be recognized by this Department. 1 feel it to be my duty, also, to warn the frank and confiding soldier against the arts aud devices of agents who will seek to exaggerate the difficulties of obtaining the laud in order to enhance their own charges. The evidence of service exists among the archives of the country. In nine cases out of ten the only proof required will be of the 1 identity of the applicant, or of the marriage and widowhood, or heirship. These are facts L readily proven, and therefore the difficulties i will in most cases be merely nominal. And to remove even these slight obstacles, aud to . give more full and complete effect to the mu nificence of the Government. I beg leave re spectfully to recommend to the proper author ities of each county and township to employ a suitable agent, at the expense of the county, to supervise the preparation of the applica tions and proofs of claimants. The ignorant and unwary would thus be protected from im position, the poor soldier from burdens they are not able to bear, and the Government from many embarrassments which may result from the awkwardness of incompetent agents. In conclusion, I desire to say that great care will bo used to guard against undue prefer ences of one class of applicants over others. With this view, at the proper time, a sufficient number of clerks will be employed to issue the certificates with the least possible delay, so that all may have an equal chance of making ad vantageous locations. Alex H. H. Stdart. Sec'y of the Interior. Steamers for Savannah. —We were shown a private letter yesterday from New York, which states that the steamer Magnolia, now being constructed in that city, will bo launched about the Ist proximo, and the steam ers Gordon and Calhoun about the 25th De cember. The Magnolia is intended for the Florida trade, and will run between this city and the St. Johns; and the Gordon and Cal houn, which Messrs. Brooks & Bardon are having built, will run outside between Savan nah and Charleston. There are five steamers for Savannah on the stocks at this time—the Alabama, to run with the Florida between this city and New York ; the Gordon, the Calhoun, the Magnolia, and last, though not least, the Welaka, which is now going up in this city and intended for the Florida business also.— Sav. Rep. Death of Judce Gantt. — VVe learn that this venerable citizen died on the 18th inst., at his residence, in Greenville, in the eigthty-sixth year of his age. He was raised to the Bench in the year 1815, and held that honorable posi tion until 1842, when he resigned. He was one of the most amiable of men, and passed through his long and distinguished public career with out perhaps making a single enemy, and his memory will be warmly cherished by all who enjoyed his intimacy.— Ch. Mercury. Coronation or a Black Emperor-—Ac counts from Hayti to the 16th ult , represent that the Emperor Soulouque, so far from hav havingbeen assassinated by his Prime Minis ter, was actively eugaged in preparations for his coronation, which was soon to take place with great pomp and ceremony. A large amount of rich furniture from France, for the furnishing of the palace, has lately beon landed. No official order to stop the cutting of mahogony had yet appeared and the report to that effect is doubted. Politi cal matters remain perfectly tranquil. f Steamship Ship Sotherner.— lt will be a matter of interest to our readers to learn the , success of this pioneer coasting sea s‘earaer, which has been running between New York and this port during the 'ast four years. We have, therefore, collected the following facts in reference to her performances. The Southerner has made lcß passages be tween New York and Charleston, running in that time 124,388 miles, and that ing (except on one occasion,) her engine stopped an hour on account of accident. She has conveyed to and fro, twelve thousand pas sengers, and the largo amount of four millions of dollars in specie, and an incalculable quanti ty of valuable goods on freight. Although, doing this tremendous business, the undewri ters have never been called on to pay a hun dred dollars damage, eittier on ship or cargo, j During the past summer, her owners, de termined to keep her in such order as to give confidence to her patrons, have expended 27,- 000 dollars in putting into her a new boiler, overhauling her engine, and new furnishing her cabin. The Southerner is now in commplete order, and under the command of an experienced and gentlemanly commander, to whom we wish the same success that has attended the ex ertions of Capt. Berry, who superintended the construction, and has commanded the South erner up to the time of her last leaving this port, i he new steamship now building, which is considerably advanced, will be called the “ Marion,” and as Capt. Berry is to devote his time and attention to superintending her • fitting oat, we feel assured, from his know energy, that but a short period will elapse, before the head of the Swamp Fox. which we understand will ornament her bow, will be seen peering its way into our harbor. The hull of the “Marion,” is being built by the celebrated ehip-wright Jacob Bell., and her engine by Stillman, Allen &, Co. She will be 195 feet keel, 31 feet beam, and 14 feet depth of hold.-*— Ch. Cour. The Slave Cask at Detroit.— Tho ex citement which prevailed for some days at Detroit, Michigan, in consequence of the ar rest of a fugitive slave, has been abated bv the purchase of the freedom of the slave for five hundred dollars. A letter dated at De troit oa the 15th instant, says : ” The subscription was beaded bv H. Led yard, Esq., son-in-law of Gen. Cass, with SOO. Not a real noisy abolitionist, we believe, sub scribed a dollar. The negro was last night re leased from custody, and was really unable what course to decide on. He said he had al ways been treated in the kindest manner, and regretted that he had caused all this excitement. His owner, who is a brother of Hon. JVIr. Rose, of Geneva, we believe, paid all ex penses, to i;he amount of about S2OO, pocket ing the S3(K) as the value of the negro, and left for home. So the great insurrecti ;n has ended. This morning large numbers of ne groes are crowding over to Sandwich, Canada. We do no t anticipate any farther trouble, for fugitives will hereafter be cautious how they remain id town. The Marshal is deserving of credit for the faithful manner in which he has discharged bis duties.” | Chronicle nub Sentinel. AUGUSTA, G A • FRIDAY MORNING, • • OCTOBER 39* ‘ Beiaellts of Manufactures. The effort to infuse into a people a spirit of enterprise, even though it may greatly pro mote their individual interests and general prosperity, is not unfrequently a work requir ing great patience and long and untiring la bor. It seems rather paradoxical, knowing the strong’attachmeat, aye, love, of mankind for money, that they should require much persuasion to induce them to make an effort to increase their wealth, yet it is nevertheless true ; and as we have devoted much time and labor to the cause for the last ten years, we purpose to press on in the good work, of making, or trying to make, the South inde pendent. As we think we cannot better con tribute to this object than by illustration, show ing the effects of the system upon other sec tions, we beg to commend the following ar ticle, exhibiting the advantages of manufac tures to Cincinnati, to the careful considera* tion of intelligent minds. By the returns of the census of 1840 Cincin nati had a population of 46,338, and in 1850, the present year, it is already ascertained 'he population is about 150,000, which includes some of the adjoining towns, now however, connected with and participating in her pros perity. How this extraordinary increase has been produced, may be learned from the sub joined facts recently published in the Cincin nati Price Current . The truths are over whelming. and cannot fail to carry conviction to every reflecting and intelligent mind, of the benefits of manufacturing. What has been accomplished in Cincinnati may be attained to a great degree in every city town, village and neighborhood throughout the South, if our people will only be persuaded to embark their energies and surplus capital in the cause, rather than investing it in “ more land and negroes which, in our opinion, is the most unprofitable, unwise and unpatriotic investment that could be made. But to the ar ticle ; “ Including the neighboring towns of Covington and Nevvpor‘ 'ho number of its Cotton factories is only 5, running together 19,400 spindles, and pro ducing annually 3,186,000 yards of Brown Sheet ings ami 1,014,000 lbs of Cotton Yarns, valued at $458,000. The capital invested in their buildings and machinery is stated at $220,000. They con sume 4,350 bales of Cotton aunually, and employ 505 bands. Mr. Smith, the editor, computes the whole number of spinoles running in the West, at 102,220. and their annual consumption of Cotton at 27,350 bales Hence Cincinnati manufactures about one sixth of the entire amount of Cotton manufactured in the West. Its rolling mills, founderics, and machine shops are on a much more extensive scale. There are seven rolling mills, including those in tha vicinity of the city, with an invested capital of 8760,000, con suming annually 15,9C0 tons of pig iron, 1050 tons of scrap iron, 5,800 tons of blooms, and 1,100,000 bushels of coal, and producing $1,580,000. The number of hands employed in these establishments is 945. There are a'so 14 stove foundries, with an invested capital of $557,000, consuming 10,175 tons of pig and scrap iron, 188,900 bushels of coil and coke, and making about 100,000 stoves, valued at $392,000. These employ 888 hands. There are 28 machine shops and foundries, with an aggregate capital cf $1,498,000, and consuming annually 15,- 331 tons of iron and 640,500 bushels of coals and colte. The product of these establishments is valued at $2,459,000, and they employ 1799 hands. The entire aggregate of the iron manufactures presents an invested capital of $2,815,000, a consumption of 48,196 tons of iron, and of 1,929,400 bushels of coals and coke, anti a production of $4,931,000 —the whole number of hands employed being 3,624. The next most important branch of manufactures is lard oil, in which there are engaged not less than 40 establishments, producing annually uoout 33,000 bbls. oil, and 7,000,000 lbs. sterine, valued at sl,- 119,000. Next in importance is furniture. “ It is only a few years,” says the Review, “since steam was introduced into the furniture factories, and although at the outset there were many difficul ties to be contended against, the business succeeded wonderfully, and it is now an impartant branch of the manufacturing business of the day. At first no attempt was made to manufacture other than the common or plain articles of furniture, but now every description almost, from the common bedstead to the most costly articles, are made in some of the exten sive establishments, and steam-made furniture is no longer regarded as inferior to that made by hand, but on the contrary the former is generally preferred. The great reduction in price caused by the introduc tion of steam, has attracted a large trade from the Western and Southern country, and Cincinnati fur niture is now purchased for the most distant portion of the States bordering on the Ohio, Mississippi,* Missouri, Illinois, Cumberland and Tennessee rivers. Considerable quantities are also sent out by railroads and canals, and indeed wo may say there is a de mand from every section. The reduction in price within the last five years, is, on an average of thirty three per cent. ; on some] articLs tne reduction is fifty per cent., but on others it is less—the finer descriptions requiring an additional amount of hand work. There are in tbe city proper nine steam fac tories, which do an average yearly business of $668,500. If we add to these the business of the sev eral establishments in the city where steam is not us>»d, the furniture 'rade would be about one million dol lars. In seven of tbe establishments named, there are manufactured annually 4,250 bedsteads, 14 500 doz. chairs, 7,500 bureaus, 1,000 writing desks, 4,500 washstands, 1,500 sofas, 3,500 card tables, and 200 wardrobes. In order to give an idea of th equality of the “ steam furniture,” we will state the range of prices for some articles, from which it will be seen that the business is not confined to the common or even middling descriptions : washstands, $1 50 to S3O eich; chairs $4 50 to S9O per dozen; v/ard robes, $6 50 to S7O each; bureaus, sl3 to Jr4o; sofas, sls to S6O; writing desks, $7 5Q t 0 330 each. With the great facilities now possessed at this place lor the manufacture of every aiticlc in tbe furniture line, and the rapidly increasing demand for the supply of the extending population of the West, we cannot but believe that the increase in the business during the next year will fully of the past.” Carriages also are an important item, their manu facture comprising ten establishments, with a capital of $132,000, employing 300 hands, and producing annually $345,000. To this is to be added 000 as the product of an C' inlbus manufactory, not included in the above. Tim manufacture of building materials, including flooring boards, sash, doors* blinds, base, mouldings and other trimmings, em ploys 6 sash, door and blind factories, and 14 floor ing mills all run by steam, and returning an annual product of $375,000. There are 4 white lead manu factories, producing annua’ly $256,000. Addin" to these 200,000 for the annual product of boors and shoes manufactured in the wholesale establishments of the city, $170,000 for linseed oil, and SIO,OOO for castor oil, makes a total of $8,656,500, annually pro duced from Cincinnati manufactures. The steamboat building business is yet another important branch of industry, in which, however, there has been a considerable decrease since Isst year, the number of boats built being only U with an aggreate tonnage of 4,560 tons, and valued at $245,100. Towards the close of the season this in terest had revived, and there were 25 boats on the stocks. In considering the effect of manufactures on popu lation, it will be observed, that the various branches we have notNgjd above, without including the boat yards, provide for tire employment of nearly 6 000 persons. Add to these the families supported by their labor, and tbe amount would probably be swelled to 20,000. Add to these again th se engaged in other occupations, whose principal resmrees is the custom of these 20,000 persons, includiig* butchers, bakers, marketmen, grocers, tailors aft* members of other trades and even of the learned professions, and the grand total would probably amount to nearly one-third the entire population of the nhy. Real estate holders take but a short-sighted vlwof man ufactures who suppose that in the establishing any i nu nufactory, or taking slock in a manufacturing | corporation, their profits will be confined to their ac- i tusl dividends, or that population will be increased j by the manufactory to the extent only of the number of operatives it employs. On the contrary, as we have shown by these statistics, the actual population provided for by a manufactory may amount to eight 1 times the number of the persons directly employed, ! creating a demand for hou -s and lots, increasing j rents, giving a productive value to unproductive lands, and enhancing in a variety of ways the gen eral prosperity of the community, and the income of the landholder : n particular. “We are please it« learn that our old friends in Glynn county have onnmated Messrs. James Ham ilton and Pmncfif'Vf. Scarlett, as delegates to the Sr tie Convention.’ ’ — iSavk. Kepub. James Hamilton Couper was one of the delegates from Georgia to the Nashville Con vention. T”-»s the pillars of that rickety structure of South Carolina ukrais 111, are being withdrawn from its support, and ere long, the disunionists, such as Rhett &. Co. only will he found within its walls, to share the infamy which will attach to its actors. ’A New Mode of Resistance* Col. N. S. Hutchins, of Lavvrenceville, Ga., has, we learn, discovered a new mode of “resistance 9 ’ to the action of Congress, a very important discovery by the way, and which we think will be most acceptable to all that class of brawling agitators who want “to do something and they don’t exactly know what,” in reference to the recent acts of Congress ad miring California, &,c. Col H. will therefore be entitled to their most cordial thanks, and we hope they will be voted in all the public meetings of that class of crawfiishing” dis unionists and secessionists. At a recent meeting in Marietta Col. H. made a speech, in which we learn from the Helicon he proclaimed himself “opposed to disunion or secession for the present, but was in favor of “resistance.” Oa being pressed however, to know what ho meant by “resis tance,” he announced to the meeting, that he only meant “ Petition ! ” The New Lnuqis. VVe were pleased to see Broad street last Night, lighted with the New Lamps as far as they have been put op ; and we doubt not they were most cordially greeted by all who had occasion to walk the street. There has been some delay in getting the lamps up, in consequence of the indisposition of the contractor. That, however, no longer exists, and we are assured the contract will now' be completed at the earliest possible day The Campbells —Are nightly attracting crowds at Concert Hall by their agreeable entertainments. Depopulation of North Carolina. —The Fayetteville Carolinian says that large numbers of persons, comprising men of substance as well as the poorer classes, are preparing to re move from that Slate, to the West and South- West Appointments by the President.—Thom as Butler King, Collector of the Customs, San Tranche©, California. Samuel Barney, Collector of the Customs, Monterey, California. A. Randall, Surveyor of tiie Customs, San ta Barbara, California. The Union Meeting in Savannah We have only time to s?y (says the Savan nah Republican of Wednesday) that tiie meet ing of the friends of the Union last night wai organized by calling the Hon. Wm. H. Bul loch, (democrat,) to the Chair, assisted by the Hon. Wm. Law, (whig,) .and the appointment ofMaj. JohnN. Lewis, (dem.) and Co!. Win F. Law, (whig,) as Secretaries. A motion was then made and carried to appoint a com mittee of five whigs and five democrats, to re port candidates for the confirmation of the meeting. The committee, after consultation, reported the names of Dr. Richard D. Arnold, John E. Ward, R. R. Chyler, Francis S. Bartow, which were unanimously confirmed. We will simply say of this ticket, composed equally of democrats and whigs, that it combines as much talent and character and patriotism as any set of men who can be found in this or any other county in Georgia. An attempt was made to interrupt the or ganization of the meeting in the very outset, but it Jailed. Resolutions were then offered, denouncing the measures recently adopted by Congress, except the fugitive bill. It was moved to lay these resolutions on the table The question being taken, and a division call ed for, it was found impossible, in consequence of the crowded state of the house, to ascertain satisfactorily tbe result—whereupon the advo cates of the resolutions, on motion of Dr. Screven, retired and left the Unionists in pos session of the hall. We understand that the Seceders will have a meeting on Thursday night. Fink Cotton. —Eight bales of very fine Cotton, from the plantation of Mrs. E. E Bell of Hancock, were sold in Savannah on Tuesday at Icents. Mr. Clay at Home. —The Lexington Ob server concludes a notice of the arrival of Mr. Clay in that city, which was celebrated by bon fires and the firing of cannon, and his cordial reception by the people of all parties, with the following remarks : “We have seldom seen him in better health or better spirits. And certainly we have never known him to return among us, when his re turn produced so deep and intense emotion, it was no homage to power—no sycophant adu lation to the trappings of office, hut the spon taneous tribute o( respect and devotion to an aged patriot whose every pulsation seems to be for his country.” iiAEXHq.UAKE.— The shock of an earthquake was felt at Cleveland, Ohio, on the Ist inst- The Herald says ; T. he first indication of the phenomenon was a low rumbling sound, somewhat like distant thunder, apparently in a northwesterly direc tion. This sound increased in intensity for about three or four seconds, the deepest into nations being like very heavy distant thunder ; the earth at the same instant exhibited a trem bling motion, which lasted nearly two seconds, when it gradually died away with the sound in an easterly or southeast direction. The concussion was so violent that it pro- ! duced a jarring and rattling of the windows, iurnlture and crockery, and a very sensible trembling could be felt by one who stood up on the ground. Cork for Aude and Feter.—The foliowiiig | v ery simple remedy for this disease has been communicated to the Mobile Advertiser. If efficacious it may hvve some influence . upon (he value of Quinine. At any rate it is worth the experiment of a trial. Mr. Editor: Let me communicate to the public, through the columns of your paper, a very simple but a very certain cure for Chills and Fever: The first chill is generally very light, and one is apt to suppose it will end ihere. The se cond one comes or: the same hour, say the se day after. The exact time is then known when the third may be expected, an 1 the pa tient has his case completely under his own control. In anticipation of the third chill, about a half an hour or tvven'y minutes before, apply a strong mustard p' xster six by eight in ches, up and down the small of the back. This creates a reaction throughout the system, and the chill time passes harmlessly by. In order to facilitate and make more certain the cure, it would be better for the patient to lake a dose of purgative pills, allowing suffi cient time for the effects to pass off before the chill time This simple and certain mode of curing Chills and Fever need 4 only be tried to convince one of its efficacy and of the folly of stuffing people to death with drngs. J. M. B. Circassian Slaves. —Mr. Brown, too American Dragoman at Constantinople, who is now accompanying the Turkish Envoy through the United States, says that the female Circassian slave markets continue in full blast at Constantinop'e. Mr. B. affirms that the prices range from S6OO to SIO,OOO according to their age and personal charms, and that the slaves are sold in what is called the Circassian quarter of the city. The Cow Tree. —On the parched side of a rock iu Venzuela, grows a tree witli dry and leathery foliage, its large woody roots scarcely penetrating into (he ground. For several months in the year the leaves are moistened by a shower, its branches look as if they wore dead and withered ; but when tho trunk is bored, a bland and nourishing milk liows from it. It is at sunrise that the vegetable fountain flows freely. At that time, the blacks and na tives are seen coining from all parts, provided with bowls to receive the milk, which grows yellow and thickens at its surface. JSanie empty their vessels on the spot, while others carry them to (heir children. One imagines he sees the family of the shepherd who is dis tributing the milk of his flock. It is named the palo de vac. or cow tree. To Cure the Scratches in Horses.— Wash the affected parts thoroughly with warm soap suds; rub them with a cob : and then ap ply beef brine. One application will usually effect a cure, if you will well rub the parts that are usually affected, every day, with a cob, you will seldom need to do anything more. — American Agriculturist. On Planting Trees. —Sir Walter Scott makes the Laird of Dumhiedikes give to Jock the advice we would give to every farmer, young or old:—“Jock,” said he, “when ye hea naething else to do, ye may be sticking in a tree; it will be growing, Jock, when ye're sleeping.” The most exemplary tree-planter that we re- J member at present was the late General T. M. I Torihan, of Maryland. He planted hickory i iitts and chesnuts in great numbers, up to lue time that he was 80 years old. We remember his expedient for propagating the beautiful Scotch broom, which so splendidly ornaments the roadside for a mile of poor soil on the An napolis road. The general was in difficulty to determine the proper time for planting, so lie made a pocket to be worn by his overseer, with a small rent in the bottom, and told him to till the jiocket as often as it emptied itself. Away went the overseer, thinly scattering the seed over all parts of the plantation, at various sea sons of the year, until dame Nature was caught in the proper mood for the work ofpropagation; and the result was nothing less than is to be expected in sucii cases. lathe Transactions of the Essex Agricultural Society, (Mass.) for 1848, there is a valuable report on Forest Trees. It closes with the fol low ing striking passage : Even if we are indisposed to-create the forests which have been wasted, we may some of ns be in duced to adorn the roadsides near oar dwellings with trees. As they grow in size from year to year, they creep into our hearts’ uest affections. Our associa tions become connected with them; our children grow up with them, and learn to love them, and our children’s children may enjoy their shade and gam bol beneath them. Indeed, a? compared with the life of man, the trees which he plants soon assume a superiority over him. From his tender nursing, it springs into existence and becomes his shelter and his protec.ion, and will continue to shelter succeed ing generations long after he is gone and forgotten. T 'he tree under which Washington stood, when he first drew his sicord to take command of the army at Cambridge, is still vigorous and flourishing as ever, while all of that band of patriots have passed away. Arrival of the Florida.—The splendid new s anaship Florida t Captain Lyon, from New \orlt, arrived at her wharf in this city at an early hour yesterday morning, having made the passage in G 3 hours. Besides a heavy freight, she brought two hundred and two cabin passenger* and eighty-seven in the steerage —making altogether two hundred and eighty-nine. An extra train left yesterday for Macon, for i the accommodation of a large number of pas* sengerr going west. —Savannah Rep. 23 d inst. I A CHAPTER ABOUT TUBES. Under the above heading a correspondent of the Massachusetts Ploughman furnishes the following sensible article: As upon other rural matters, so upon this, u great deal has been written, and a great deal more re mains which may be written. The culture of trves has its own times, modes of operating, subjects to be acted upon, and results to be obtained. 1. 77 ia 'rime. All hardy Trees, fruit or orna mental, may be successfully transplanted at any sea sou in the year, when the three following circum stances concur, —namely, the 'Free in a dormant state — the ground free from frost and excessive moisture — the weather above freezing temperature, la our New England climate, these favorable occur rences prevail generally throughout the month* im mediately preceding tne sth of May and the 20th of November, and these are unquestionably the best two months in the whole year for the work in ques tion. Trees ofthe evergreen tribes, however, become so completely dormant, or in a state ofr-pose, for two or three weeks about the time ofthesurmner solstice, that they are often successfully transplanted at that season. The very best combination of circumstances is that of the tree perfectly dormant, the ground warm and tractable, the weather naild and cloudy, with a pros pect of rain. When a week of rainy weather imme diately follows the planting of a tree, success is al most certain to ensue. 2d. Fhe site for a Free. As in building a house, so in planting a Tree, a foundation must be laid for it. For all kinds of Trees, Deep Tillage is the first thing, and the second thing, and the third thing, and all three of the things combined. For a tree stoloor 12 feet high, dig a hole 1J to 2J feet deep —4 feet in diameter will barely answer, but 6or 8 feet is a great deal better. If the ground in the bottom of the hole is hard, loosen it with a pickaxe, 5 or more inches deeper, then fill it up with the coil, a little of the subsoil and rich well rotted compost manure, intimately mixing the three toge ther. 3d. Preparing the Free. Pare the broken ends ofthe roots smoothly, always entering the knife upon the under side, and cutting with an upward slant, bhorten in the top ako, if the root is weak, so that there may be a balance of power between root and branch. 4 th. Planting the Free. The tree should stand at the same depth in the ground that it grew pre viously to its removal. Deep planting, as an Irish gardener expresses it, is murder entirely. . . ■ | Let one man hold the tree, and another at l knees and work with his fingers amon* ? *°° h!a j straightening them out and filling up a n places among them with generous rich sod . .‘f 0 * i hole is completely full. Then pre»s ih’ p llnU l ** e gently but firmly around ihe tree with the f r ° theork is done. If the soil is very ( V-' aa( * three buckets of water maybe slowly . !?o ° r the hole, just as soon as the roots are wel?'. 0 cd, and before the hole is completely filled ( :oVer ' ly, however, this is unnecessary, except r^ ei4i ' for evergreen trees. 1 1 I* s ™ 4 !*, sth. After treatment. It is an excellent tice —worth almost as much as a policy of i n ,' * )r ® c ' —to mulch trees the first season after ulnntin^- 41^^ This is nothing more than covering the , 1 3or 4 feet around them, with a depth o fi for inches of straw, leaves, sea-weed, or the like I * 3 fully placing stones or soda upon the fop .7 Care * mulching may not be blown away. Trees ; ta ® way exposed to the wind ought to be stuk • Sny tied the first season, if not longer. " a,!l i Still further, all kinds of fruit trees, andean,, n all cultivated trees, r'quire more or less car ' attention as long as they 'live; and, like do*/ 8 - 1 * animals, they become miserable, and worthil J! lc neglect. It is, therefore, of little use to pUnp unless one means to take care oflliem. Jes A tree that has been set some years, and j.- a thrifty condition, may be greatly benefitted i,v y 1 ging a circular ditch around it about two feet j and two feet deep, and at a distance of about a* Ji?" feet from the tree as the latter is inches in diam 1/ The roots should all be cut off smoothly, even »' ■' (be inner «ide of the ditch, which should then b<- cd up who good rich s il, intermixed with we!l. ro; ! compost manure, ashes, charcoal dust, or old broker bones. Old trees thus t, ;ated often renew t! -- youth, *md show their gratitude, for year* in the substantial form of bus- Is of luscious fruit w*.ys excepting the peach and nectarine, which should never in this climate bo suffered to stand longer thank or ten years from the seed. A few peach trees should be set every year to keep up a supply of this deliciom fruit. TELEGRAPHIC SEWS Traaii i*.desl for the Chronicle A *:. Further by the Asia. Baltimore, Oct. 21.
