The “Line Cam** (Eacalfvta* Glob
ulus) vs. Willow aai Fever.
A friend baa placed na uadar obligation*
for a copy of the Los Angeles (Cal.) Weekly
Herald, from which we extract the following
interesting paper on Albany’s pet enterprise:
“The following extract taken from the
Medical Times & Gazette seems to show that
snob virtue is really possessed by the tree.—
The instanoes quoted, says the Herald,
would seem to be conclusive upon the poinL
Now for the practical application. The
low lands of the . Loe Angelee, Han Gabriel
and Banta Ana rivers are in many places
fenced in with live fences of the willow and
other trees. By these fences the free eweep
of the ocean wind is broken ; the air becomes
heavy and stagnant; miasmatic exhalations
remain undisturbed; and—the Result is/ever.
Why not plant these fence rows with the blue
gutn instead of the willow ? The same soil,
the same care needed for the one will grow
the other. Why not cultivate health in fence
rows instead ot disease ?
In addition to its disease destroying quali
ties the bine gum furnishes a timber of great
value, and is an exceedingly rapid grower,
while the wood of the willow, except as an
inferior class of fuel, is worthless. Looking
at the question in a purely monied light,
apart from any consideration of health, the
substitution of the blue gum for the willow is
certainly mueh to be desired.
The following is the article from the Medi-‘
cal Times & Gazette to which we have al
luded :
M. Gimbert, who has been long engaged
in collecting evidence concerning the Aus
tralian tree Eucalyptus glcbulu*, the growth
of which is surprisingly rapid, attaining be
sides gigantic dimensions, has addressed an
interesting oommnnication to the Academy
r of Sciences;' The tree, it appears, possesses
an extraordinary power of destroying mias
matic influence in fever^stricken districts. It
has the singular property of absorbing ten
times its weight in water from the soil, and
of emitting antiseptic camphorous effluvia.—
When sown in marshy ground it will dry it
up in a very short time* The English were
the first to try it at the Cape, and within two
or three years they completely changed the
climatic condition of the unhealthy parts of
the colony. A few years later its plantation
was undertaken on a large scale in various
parts of Algeria. At Pardock, twenty miles
from Algiers, a farm situated on the banks
of the Hamyze was noted for its extremely
pestilential air. In the spring of 1867 about
18,000 of the eucalyptus were planted
there. In July of the same year —
the time when the fever season nsed
to set ia—not a single case occurred; yet the
trees were not more than nine feet high.—
Since then complete immunity from fever has
been maintained. In the neighborhood of
Constantine the farm of Ben Macbydlin was
equally in bad repute. It was covered with
marshes both winter and summer. In five
years the whole ground was dried up by 14,-
000 of these trees, and farmers aad children
enjoy excellent health. At the factory of the
Gue de Constantine, in three years a plantat
ion of eucalyptus has transformed twelve
acres of marshy soil into a magnificent park,
whence fever has completely disappeared. In
the island of Cuba this and all other paludal
diseases are fast disappearing from the un
healthy districts where this tree has been in
troduced. A station-house at one of the ends
of a railway..viaduet in the Department of
the Var was so pestilential that the officials
coaid not be kept there longer than a year.
Forty of these trees were planted, and it ia
now as healthy as any other plaoe on the
line. We have no information as to whether
this beneficent tree will grow in other than
hot climates. We hope that experiments will
be made to determine this point. It would
be a good thing to introdnee it on the West
Coast of Africa."
The J.oalslana Disaster.
The peopU iif Louisiana and of New Or
leans are liuirxugbly appalled bj the great
looda now about then and tho condition of
affairs in that State is indescribable. The
New Orleans Picayune of Friday says;
“We have waited, with as much patience
as was possible, for either the Levee Board
or the Slate administration to take some ef
fective atepe for onr protection against a dan

weeks ago we copied the article
headed—“Wanted, a Man Lo ftaiy,” from the
Advertiser-Republican. We copied it for thp
richness of ~ the joke and the raciness of the
language, and with no malice towards jCol
Fielder whatever. He is a^enileman, and
whatever his foibles, be has our esteem and
friendship.
We copy the following for the reason thai
a question touching the rights of writers is
raised and settled, and to give the Colonel
the benefit of bis strange views upon the sub
ject.
MR. FIKLDSn’S CARD.
Some weeeks since we suggested the Hon.
Herbert Fielder, of the county of Randolph;
a fitting person to fill the empty sar
cophagus that the Cannon Kingsley gener-^
onsly offered to some distinguished. Ameri-
n.
Several other journalists mode similar con
tributionn, and we have yetj&.hear of one
who has been ealltd to aceount save our
selves. From the following card, it will be 1
seen that Mr, Fielder declines the distin
guished honor, and does so with a bad grace
hich smacks eomegwhat of ill temper:
Cotobkbt, April 10, 1874.
Messrs. Beard $ Kimball:
Gentlkues—Having seen, by the Tele
graph and Messenger, that you had pub
lished some reflections nu me, I wrote to re
quest a copy ot the article and the name of
the author. On iny return from Early court
this evening I read jour reply. Inclosing
the article you any:
We trust you will see, from its |tenor,
that these is uo necessity for further corre
spoudence on the subject, the article beiug
playful, aud containing uo charges against
you, or reflections on your character or stand •
ing.
' if you think differently, we would beg
to remind you that wc canuol surrender the
name of the onthor until, yod have complied
.with the established rule iu all newspaper
offices. Yov must state, in writing, that the
article is peceoually offensive to you. and
that your demand is made for the purpose of
seeking either peps^al or legal redress.
Upon a compliance .with /his rule the name
of the author is at your serv/cc ”
I was informed of this rule hchl by jour
nalists for the protection of aanpnymous
r.orrcspondents, but was not aware : that it
ex'-ended to unannounced editorial a^ojia^ts
Ihrfiag read the article ami finding no
chargedJnit, I decline to make the deniind
aa I do to express my opinion of the course of
such a journal ds yours has been, seeking to
bring a private citizen at » remote distance
into ridicule, without charges. If I have
crrtd in seeking to promote the good #f our
people, it is an error they will forgive, i
have long cherished ii desire to cultivate
peace with all men,'but if the writer of the
article enfiUed—“Wanted, a Man to Bury,”
does not desire ia prbvoke a br^ch of it, he
will do well herea/Ur to exercise his playful
malice through the pcegs on some other per
son.
Respectfully, y««ur ob’dt. sv’t.,
Fielder.
We give this card editorial pwaioence and
space, because Mr. Fielder asks .it as n mat
ter of justice to himself. Blit in doing bo'
we claim the right to follow it with such.coji?-
ments as to our mind it suggests.
In the first place, Mr. Fielder s will bear in
migd that he wrote demanding '‘the author''
before he had read the article, and his de
mand was accompanied by a distinct declara
tion that he did not desire to know “who
was responsible.'' Mr- Fielder bnt partly
comprehends the established rules of all well
regulated newspapers, if be does not know
that all of their editors, correspondents and
contril)pU)r8 have erected between themselves
and the idle and impertinent cariosity of the
public, a barrier which cannot be lowered
except upon certain conditions.
Mr. Fielder's card, sifted down, amounts
to this: he declines lo express his opinion
of the Advertiser-Republican, he agrees that
the article contained jaa assault upon him
self worthy of action on Iris part; and yet be
assumes its motive to he malicious, and he
aims its unknown author against further
transgressions of a similar character.
The author, not only in his <o«vn behalf,
but also in behalf of Mr. Fielder, disclaims
maliee. The language and spirit of <he arti
cle itself is quite sufficient to dispel-this as
sumption. If more were needed Mr. Fielder
himself admits that it contained no charge
against him.
Mr. Fielder seems to lay his grievances
down as follows, viz ; “Seeking to bring
private citizen, at a remote distance, into rid
icule without charges,"
Our memory has been racked in vain for
that remote period when Air. Fielder could
have been said to be a private citizen. Since
our earliest recollection of the political histo
ry of Georgia, he has been at oneand*the
same time the most persistent and prolific of
newspaper contributors. Essays on seces
sion, on the doty of the South, and on al-
every subject at any time engaging
public attention, have called Mr. Fielder's
pen into service and put certain journals un
der contribution. Iudeed, it may be said his
iuquiriug mind has elucidated through ■ the
press of the State every subject from the
science of government down to the patholov
gy of“cerebro spinal meninigiti9.*” Can i
gentleman who visits the public so often and
in so many varied shapes protect himself be
hind the plea of private citizenship? Not
when it is remembered that during the pe
riod covered by these arduous and volumin
ous literary labora to which we have alluded,
Mr. Fielder has been a candidate, and an
unsuccessful one, for Governor, Judge of the
Supreme Court. Judge of the Circuit Court,
United States Senator and member of Con**
greas. The exact vicinity of any man’s resi
dence cannot make him in any sense of the
word a private citizen.
Mr. Fielder should remember that he has
given the public and the press provocation
to criticise his views and his actions. Such
criticism may not at all times be pleasant.
It may sometimes be harsh and unjust, bat
whoever breaks the public silence enters
into the list of discussion, or seeks public
distinction and official liaoor at the hands of
the people, is amenable to public criticism
and comment. And Mr. Fielder cannot hope
to escape from this conclusion.
The author is pleased to hear that Mr.
Fielder is a man of peace, for he is of the
no pattern himself. He is not aware of
feeling of majace “playful*' or otherwise
“The Last t'aase.”

have heen different.
As before sfoted, the Federal war record
showed an enlistment of 2,335.951 against
the enlistment of the South pf (JQO.OQQ during
the four years* war. I regret that I am una
ble to give the odds against which our gener
als fought in the different divisions. I will,
however, give the forces under Gens. Grant
and Lee, which are said t j be correct and la -j
ken from official returns.
General Grant on taking command of the
force? around Richmond on May 4th, 1864,
when he crossed the Rapidan, had 120 609
General Lee had ooly, ul (Lit a*
date, 52,000 Grant’s reinforcements up to
the battle of Cold Harbor, Juue 3d, weiu
.97,000. Lee’s/ up to same date, only 18 OOU
men. Grant's total fotee, including rain
forcemeats, were 222,000 men. Lee's total
force 70 000. Returns show that when both
armies bad Peached James river, JuneJOth,
the number of Grant’* army thut had been
put hors da combat,. 117.000, whifo that of
Lee's was only 19,000. When the two armies
met iu front of Petersburg, Grant's total
fore* was 152.000. and his loss 98.000 men in
excess.of oewith a force outnumbering
bis opponent three tp pne. Grant lost every
other man jo hie arm/* Whjle L«e lost two
out of ever/ nine, or in put »*• Mtfl stronger,
Grant lost just 4.000 map mate than one and
a half times Lee’* entire army. Thus
Gen. (Irani won at (be North the' till# pf
butcher.
But I give another atatpment that appeals
to the war record for the truth of the asser
tions. A writer in oue of the Virginia pa
pers several years since says: *• It is well es*
tablished by the Federal records that tUe
losses of Grant between his fit at collision
with Lee’s army and the defeat he sustained at
Cold Harbor, amounted lo 12&.0U0 men "
.“Again, the army of Grant at the Appo
mattox ia stated at 150.000 and that of -Lee

1st. The available force ot tho Confederate
Army did not during the war exceed tiOO.000.
2d. The Confederate State, never had iu
'Jiveir defence more than 290,000 men in the

5th. The ton of the Confederate State,
army, by discharge, .disability aad desertion,
amounted to 100.000 men.

charge or the Gregory House at Lake Maho.
pac. the famous summer resort of the fash
ionable Northerners. “The Lake” is th* fa
vorite loitering place of thewesUbier eleues,
and ie the most delightful spot in New York,
The Gregory House is a superb hotel, accom
modating nearly 1,000 people. There are
yachts and small sail boats for the lakes,
splendid hunting and fishing, drives, prome
nades, brilliant halls, bowling alleys, ball
rooms, music, and in fact all the etoeteras
that goup,to,umko a summer letreat delight
ful. As loffir-'CrilUnden’s skill aud ability
to entertain, we need not speak, lie is fa
mous all over Georgia and the surrounding
States. We advise all Southerners going
North this season, to spend at leaat a month
with Crittenden, at Lake Mahopac*

Enclosed yon will find a card of my Sum
mer House. I have sold out at the Madison
Square . House, (which fact please make
known to the good people of Georgia,) and
shall in a few days take a force to Lake Ma
hopac in prepare my house and grounds for
the ancaacr business. People are already
talking ebcot the country, and I have mads
arrangements with many New York families
for the whole summer. The “Gregory” is a
favorite place for the residents of Fifth aad
Madison avewies. Ibis'’ city, and none of the
summer resorts have engaged so exolusiva a
first-class pateosage of New Yorkers as Lake

struck with a thunderbolt from heaven,
through the ruin o! the South. ~ The tame
paper adds:
Twenty thousand of the “upper tea" have
stepped from their carriages and now walk
the streets hunting for bread ; and, infinite
ly worse, half a million of poor working men
and women, withont \rotk, are threatened
with starvation throughout the North—the
direct and necessary result of the labors of
the “friends of freedom.” in the front ranks
of which Harper’s Weekly has steadily borne
its flag of “civilization.” But the recoil from
their devil’s work, and consequent loss of
profits, has suddenly opened the eyes of
these people to the horror of the “situation.”
Two heads are better than one—aspecially gree ot certainly. Meanwhile, “AH aboard !

The announcement published in the Conri-
er-Joproal ihat the Short-line railroad would
sell tickets to Baltimore and Washington for
ten dollars, created a good deal of talk yes
terday in ih.V city, and a'number of persons
were on.the point of plunging into specula
tions in chesp fares, when it was discovered
that the ten-d ollar tickets were good for only
five days. Er«ry one who ba9 the shadow
of a reason for snaking a dip to the National
Capital, is now in a mood to htart, and a
large exodus oC fcight«8eor6 may reasonably
be expected to .follow this remarkable reduc
tion.
Las-t night a telegram, received here,
brought the hewn that the fare from Louis*
ville to New York, by the Atlwtic and Great
Western. TaOroad. had been reduced to len
dollars and a half, which is not more than
one cent a mile—the cheapen railroad trav
eling ever known in thia part of the country.
This redaction was, of course, brought about
by the-one’ announced yesterday morning,
and today the traveling public will welcome
the situation with a brouJ grin. ‘‘Let 'em
compete!” wQlbe the first ejaculation. “But
will it last?” will come with a second thought.
The probability is that such a stale of affairs
will not continue a great while, as railroad
companion can no more afford to lose money
than other people. An early return to a com
petition merely in politeness to passengers,
nnd in descriptions of the inferior features cf
the roads may be looked for with a good de-
