Among the remarkable trees in the world, the fol lowing, of which we have compiled brief descriptions, ore some of the most curious: The Braxil+ut Tree.-The Brazil-nut tree may lastly command the attention of the enthusiastic na turalist. This tree thrives well in the province of Brazil, and Immense quantities of its deUdous fruit ore annually exported to foreign countries. It grows to the height of from 60 to 80 feet, and in appear, •nos is one of the most majestio ornaments or the forest The fruit, in its natural position, resembles a cocoa-nut, being extremely hard, and about the •!m of a child’s bead. Each one of these shells con tains from 12 to 20 of these three-cornered note, nice ly packed together. And to obtain the nnts as they appear in market, these shells have to be broken open. Daring the season of their falling tt is dan- geroos to enter the groves where they abound, as the force of their descent is sufficient to koock down the strongest man. The natives, however, provide them selves with wooden bucklers, which they hold over their heads while collecting the fruit from the ground. In this manner they are perfectly secure (torn injury. The Cannon-bail Tret*—Among the plants or Qui nes, one or the most curious is tue cannon-ball tree. It grows to the bight of sixty feet, and its flowers are remarkable for beauty and fragrance, and contra dictory qualities. Its blossoms are of a delicious crimson, appearing in large banebes, sod exhaling a rich perfume. The fruit resembles enormous cannon- halls; hence the name. However, some say it has been so called because of the noise which the balls make in bursting. From tbs shell domestio utensils an mads, and the contents contain several kinds of acids, besides sugar and gum, and furnish the mate rials for making an excellent drink in sickness. But, The soergy with which wM »« who hate all tbsir lives bsaa partisans aow oondemn parties, party orpnitatleas, party crisa, and party names, Is littis lass than astonishing. Man who wsro, perhaps, Fed* enlists hi long Mtbo F«d«ral party acknowledged the neme mtn who warn certainly Whigs until the disastrous overthrow of tbs Whig patty l* 1862—who havo fought Whig battles, mads Whig spssches, and run as Whig candidates-now, for ths first tins, awake to thoavU Influence of partiee! They con trast, with amaslng self-complacency, their own devo- tiou to coantiy'wKh that of others to party; sad, after having best all their lives the members of a party are ready to attribute the avtta of the body politic to the existence of party. This is strange, is tt not? But atrangs as it is, it is for lass strange than that ths same men, while denouncing parties should resolutely set themselves to work to form a . new party. Yet ibeh Is the spectacle before us—and such is ths spectacle exhibited by our friend Mr. Baa- vow in the speech delivered by him at the Jenkins ratification meeting last Friday night. He asserted that there are now no issues dividing parties in Georgia—that all of them, Internal Improvements, Bank, and Tariff, have been settled—the latter wise ly In fovor of Free tradei he, therefore, reprobated most strongly ths continuation or parties as detri mental to the pnblle interests; yet, at the same time, earnestly advocated the triumph of the party which lately nominated Mr. Jenkins! Thus he showed himself a party man while eloquent In the dennncla tlooof parties—utterly unconscious of tbs inconsis tency, or rather self-destructiveness, of bis argument. Now, our belief is, that parties are not necessarily evils, and that yon can only prevent their existence by destroying liberty. In despotisms—in Russia and Austria—there are no parties. On the other hand, in every free country, and in every country approach ing to freedom, political parties do, and for all time while freedom lasts, will exist. Besides, to speak otherwiae will be to offend against the memory of our fathers—of nearly all the wise and great of onr land—JErrxasoN, Madison, Randolph, Jackson, Calhoun;-Adams, Hamilton, Pinkney,Glat, and WxssTsa—were ail party men. Are we to be wiser than they 7—to claim more patriotism 7 We say that whoever believes the success of Dem ocratic principles and measures necessary to the prosperity of this country is no patriot unless he lends bis influence to make the Democratic party triumphant. As regards Wblgs, there is a similar obligation resting npon them, unless convinced of the errors of Whiggery, in which case they should become Dem ocrats; or, unless they believe that all effarta to make that party successful must be abortive. If the latter be their position, let them content themselves to be quiet. they may be sure that there is, at present, no coll from the country for their services. But another wonder! These no party men, now engaged in organizing a party in opposition to par ties, have chosen as their leader one who, though a veteran partisan,said last summer that “bis desire to adhere to the National Whig party” was then " stronger ” than it had ever been before I As if he bad said, " devoted as was ray support of the Whig party, in 1840, when Harrison was elected—proud as I was of my membership in it in 1844, notwith standing the defeat of our glorious chief Henry Clay —firmly as I believed the salvation of the country de pended npon its triumph in the election of Taylor, in 1848—yet at neither of these periods did I feel the strong desire to adhere to the National Whig party which now absorbs me I” Oh, Mr. Bartow!—Mr. Toombs! is this the leader under whose banner you have chosen to wage war upon parties 7 And, Mr. Jenkins—with your devotion to the National Whig party now more ardent than ever before—bow can you, most honorable sir, consent to bead this crusade again*! parties? Will the honors of the executive office recompense yon for the sacrifice you make in consenting to occupy this position 7 Hardly. Our anti-party opponents, on reflection, most sec that they have gone to work wrong. If they really desire to destroy parties in Georgia, or what is the same, to unite all our people iu one party, let them withdraw their candidate and make no opposition to the Democratic nominee. For if they elect Mr. Jen- .xins there will still be two parties. If on the other hand they will vote for Joiinson there will be but one—aud soon nouo, as regards State politics.

Ite snormona trank ia separated into five divisions, which gives it the appearance of several trees grow ing together.

TV Ivory-nut 7Vre~—The ivory-nut tree is popu larly called the Tagnaplant, and is common in South America. The tree is one of the numerous fsmily of plants, but belonging to the order designated as screw pine tribe. The natives use their leaves to dover their cottages, and from the nuts make buttons and various other articles. In an early state the nnts contain a sweet milky liquid, which afterwards asanmes a sol idity nearly equal to ivory, and will admit of a high polish. It is known m ivory-nut, or vegetable ivory, and baa recently been brought into use for various purposes. The Sorrowful Tree*— At Goa, near Bombay, there Ss a singular vegetable—the sorrowful tree—so called because it only flourishes in the night. At sunset no flowers are to be seen, and yet, half an hour after, It is qoito foil of them. They yield a sweet smell, hot tire son no sooner begins to shine npon them than soma or them fall off, and others close up ; and •bos it continues flowering in the night all the year. TV 8tele Tree.—There is said to be a tree in Bom bay called the sack tree, because from it may be stripped very singular natnral sacks, which resemble " felt” in appearance. Atlanta Bank Report.

When the wealth and atanding of Ueo. hmlth. theprindpal atockholder, aupported by the beat au thority and evidence ia taken into consideration, we are farced to the aonclunion that all the noiao which baa been mad*, la wholly without foundation." Wo have no disposition to say aught that shall un justly excite suspicion in tho publio mind relative to this Bank, and in our previous reference to it, have endeavored to present its irue history aud position. In a further desire to do justice to both it and tbe public, we hereby publish tbe official statement of its condition, without fee or reward, which others pub lish as an advertisement, and receive pay. Of one thing, however, we mast protest, and that is the un qualified endorsement of this Bank by tbe Atlanta journals. Let the Bank stand or fall upon its own merits. The report shows for itself, and from that the public can form its own judgment. Tbe public do not care to know who George Smith and Com pany are, but they do want to know if the stock is so distributed and owned, aud a Board of Directors so constituted as not to allow the Bank to bo controlled by a foreign individual or company of individuals— Tbe fact tbat 8Mirnis rich or poor should, in fact, have nothing whatever to do with the standing and character of tho Bank; but has it a capital paid in under the control of a competent Board of Directors so constituted as to leave their action above tbe sus picion of being secondary to one or two individuals holding nearly ail the stock? This U the question. We have no reason to doubt but tbat tbe Directors and officers of this bank are honorable men, disposed to conduct their charge upon legitimate and accom modating principles—but have they, or a majority of them, snob a control of itsaffkira as to enable them to do so beyond the power of a minority in the Board, or persons ontside of it 7 This question settled in tbe affirmative in the face of what appears to tbe contrary, according to the private statement of Mr. Hiooinson, tho President, and we doubt not tbe bank will at once take rank among the sound and well oonducted institutions of its kind throughout the country. To attempt to intimidlato tbe press by the com mencement of legal proceedings against it, for speaking in each terms as it feels called npon to employ, seems to us to bo not only in bad taste, but will greatly add to tbe suspicions awakened. But enough has been said. Tbe public are now sufficiently acquainted with tbe origin of tbe Bank and its organisation to form its own Judgment. Tbe figures showing its condition on the Oth of Jane, are also before them. In tbe result we are in nowise in terested only ss the publio are affected for good or «tU. Florida Correspondence. Jisras Hsautos Oo., Fla, Jobs 80,1869. A Ur. B. B. Baton, tf Semmok, On. 8mPermit ma, whilst I fulfil the promts* made to you lnTallahaatre, to sekBowledge the receipt, from you, of a copy of tbe Report of tbe Preliminary Surveys of tbe Ba* vaoaah sod Albany Railroad, ahleb b tb# more accepta ble line# Uau ppliaa to afreet map of reference, whkb I much desired. Buffer me, lo this communication, to point oat to you soma of tbe advaotagaa tbat must accrue to Savannah by tba completion of the Railroad rente, as proposed and adopted by tbe Tallahassee Convention. And first: Tbe distance from Doctor's Town to BaUville (the N. W. corner of Hamilton county) la 116 miles, wbUe to Jasper it is 105 miles; a different# of 10 tnllee; tbs country being equally favorable to both routes until they retch ths Alapaha riv er. By tbe DellrlUe route ths Alapeha will bar# to be crossed where It ia anbject to overflow Its banka, every high freshet. It U sometimes from a quarter to a mile wide in consequence. The road most also croa# either Mad Swamp, or its outlet, the Apalaboocbee, which stream empties into lbs Alapaha Joat abov# tba Florida line. Tbe name M Mud Suamp " snfllciintlr explains tho nature of the place. It ia from a half mile to a mile in width. After crossing tba swamp no other serious obstacle would intervene to Bell- Tllle. 1 believe. By tbe Jasper route, the road would enter Florida east of the Alapaha, and might cross that stream at or neaf Jennlng’s Bluff, where, within tbe apace of some, thing lees than a mile, two or three croealng* may be bad, at either of which tbe water never overflows its banks, and where tba plney woods extend to the bank of tba river on either aide. The country through which both of the roads would pass being similar, tt Is only necessary to alluda to tbs supposed difficulty presented by tbe Okefenokee Swamp; and I must eonfosa that it baa been somewhat difficult to get any vary definite Information upon the aubject, for when it la men tioned to those who have lived there, and are well acquaint- ed with tbe location. Ac., and they are asked wbat diffi culties ths Swamp would offer to a Railroad ! they treat the question with deriaion, and say, what! a faw cypress ponds! none! One man told me that be bad been all through It on the line of the road, and that be did not find the water more than knee deep, though it was daring a wet spell. They all agree, however, tbat tbe lands along the line of the road, from Doctor'a Town to Jasper, are among the best Sea Island Cotton lands In tbe world; and that nothing ia wanting to cause them to be settled and culti vated, but a mareet road. Allow me to state hero that BtUeUle U located on the west hnlf of the S. E. quarter of section 0, township 2, range 11, N. and E. Jarper is located on the S. W quarter of the S. E. quarter of aection fl. township 1, range 14. N. and E— Tbe distance between tbe two places being 22 miles by the common road. Jasper being nearly 0 miles south of the State line, on an air line; Bellville nearly on It. Having thus briefly noticed the location of the rival routes, permit me. in the second place, to allude with equal brevity to the degrees of trade and travel to be command- ed by each of them. It is evident that the Jasper route would control all the trade and travel of the. Bellville route, since tbe road, af ter entering Florida east of the Alapaha, would take a west erly direction, and would pass within a few miles of Bell ville. I shall therefore only point out some of tho trade that the Jasper route would command, which tbs other would not. To do this, it Is is only neeewary to mention how the trade of the county ia now divided. Tbe trade of Bellville, and of that part of Hamilton west of the Alspa- ha, now finds its way for the most part down the Suwannee to Cedar Keva, and thence to New York, Charleston, Ac.: whiht that east of the Alapaha finds its way by wagons to Jacksonville, Traders' Hill and Csotrevillago. Now, railroad passing from Doctor’a Town to tho Florida line, even in Madison County, would command a part of tbe Bellville trade. Tbe Brunswick road will do it if finished, but neither of tboee roads, nor a road to Bellville, would control all of the trade east of tbe Alapaha, aa will be un derstood by reference to the following table of distances. The distance from the Suwannee river, on the eastern bor- der of Hamilton county, Range 16 and 17, to Jacksonville, Is about 75 miles ; to Bellville 40 miles, to Jasper 18 to 20 miles. If. in addition to these tacts, ws add another—that the Alapaha is often impassable without great difficulty, for loaded wagons, especially in winter, we shall at once ss* tbat a road that will command the trad* of Hamilton Coun ty must have its terminus in the vicinity of Jasper, and tbat such a road would be sufficiently near to every part of the county; as well as to a large portion (I believe the wealthiest part) of Columbia County, besides being in a most advantageous position for extension into South Flori da. as will be seen by tbe following distance#: From Jasper to Alligator {Lancaster on the map you ssntme) In Colum bia County, is about 30 miles by the common road, and thence to Newnansvillo. In Alachua. Is about 30 miles more, which takes u* at once into tbe neighborhood or the rich lands of Alachua and Marion counties, from which point It might bo continued to Tampa Bay or Tortuga*. Whether such an extension will aver be made, or by whom. I certainly bare no means of knowing, but tbat it is well worthy the serious consideration of Savannah, when fixing the terminus of her road on the Florida line, is not, with me. at least a matter of doubt. I have already extended this letter much beyond what I at first Intended, and will therefore close. You will observe that I have taken Jasper as the termi nus of the Savannah roaJ, but it is not done because we itulsl on that ss the spot, but because it is the only point of note to which I could refer. Other places on tbe State line east of ths Alapaha, may, and probably will, be found more desirable than Jasper. Neither do 1 allude to a point further west than this county, for reasons which you heard stated in the Convention. Yours, very respectfully, Wu. E. M.

A Trick of the Untmy, The Chronicle $ Sentinel, Savannah Republican, and some other IV big papers In tbe State, are adopt ing a rather contemptiblo trick to convict tho Demo cratic party ol a want of harmony In support of Judge Johnson. They first tell their readers there ia rank rebellion In tbe Democratic camp, against tho Democratic nomiuee, aud then, with the most perfect coolness and assurance, by w»y of substantiating their groundless assertions, bring forward copious extracts from the editorial columns of the Rome Courier anil Constitutional Union,ol Marietta, which papers, of coarse, support Mr. Jenkins. Extracts from these papers are paraded before the people as " Democratic authority,” the Whig editors re-pub lishing them, ingeniously representing the papers from which they are takcu to be genuine Democratic newspapers. Nothing is farther from tbe truth. The Constitutional Union was bnt a short time since the Marietta Helicon, a staunch Whig paper, supported by Whig patronage. During ths compro- mfw agitation it changed ita name, without, aa we have ever learned, materially changing ita principles. ... .. -kptembjr. After the AUcuta Convention of tbe 18th Septembi it approximated so near to Democracy as to support ticket g"t up in opposition to tbe decision or that the tic convention aud in opposition to tho Pierce and King ticket which carried the Stale in the Presidential Election. It may be answered tbat the present editor has at some time claimed to be a Democrat, but com- it would bo exceedingly difficult to point oat any . r Janydir- ferencc whatever between tbe teachings and political alliances or tbe paper aa it was, under tbe name of Helicon and as it is and has been under the name of Constitutional Union. As to the other M Democratic authority,” cited and relied npon by tbe croakers, it is just about as com petent a witness as the Marietta paper. Tbe Rome the i . byn whig than Mr. Jesse Reneau.tne present editor of tbe Atlanta Republican, and up to two or three weeks ago was under the editorial control of Mr. Knowles, a whig, at present one of the editors of the MUledge- ville Recorder. The paper,although union whig, and bjlting from tbe support or Gen. Bcott, was too mneb whig, nevertheless, to go along with A. J. Miller and other whig worthies, into tbe support of tbe Wofford ticket, and therefore stood aloof entirely dnrlng tbe Presidential canvass, except so far as it could give aid and comfort to the whiga, without declaring openly for either or tbe candidates. Both tbe Rome Courier and Marietta Union have standing at the bead of their editorial columns the name of Charles J. Jenkins, the whig candidate, for Governor, and are about as reliable “ democratic au thority” as the Chronicle and Sentinel or Savannah Thr IT. 8.

Our Consul tabes tbe ground tbst the magistrates at Southampton bad no jurisdiction over an offence committed on board an American abip; and further—founding himself ou tbe known principle, that a ship’s deck is to all Intents and pur poses the soil of tbe country whose flag she carries— denies the right of tbe British police to bosrd the Hermann and arrest one of her officers. On these two Issues Ur. Croskey has the mUfortnne to differ entirely both from tbe United States and the British authorities of State. Mr. Everett was clearly of opin ion tbat tbe facta charged against tbe mite by tbe waiter, "if correctly stated, not Justified but required the interference oftbe authorities ” at Southampton: and that, " ir, when tho police boarded tbe ship, she was within the local Jurisdiction of England, all at tempt to resist them was unlawful, and would form a just matter of complaint on tbe part of tbe British government.” Lord Palmerston, in like manner, considered " tbat Mr. Croskey was wrong in disput ing the Jurif diction of the magistrates, as it was clear and universally admitted, that a merchant vessel of one country within tbe waters of another was as fully liable to the laws of that country as if tue ship was high and dry on her shores.” The matter of tbe arrest ended, as snch affairs gen erally do, In smoke. The mate surrendered himself on bis return to stand bis trial—but no prosecutor was forthcoming, and tbe case was dismissed, the magis trates contenting themselves with presuming that " there was some misapprehension on tbe part of Mr. Croskey.” But tbe practical result of the case Is the establishment of a principle whicb ship-owners and ship-matters would uo well to bear in mind. It is now settled, to far as the concurrent opinions of two foreign governments can settle a pnrt of in ternational law, that where an officer of an American Vi ssel is charged with committing an offence on bosrd tbat vessel while she lies in a foreign port, the ship •% v ?

Osweoo, July 6. One of the most destructive fires that ever took place in our city, broke out about half-past 10 o’clock this morning. The flames spread with the most un paralleled rapidity, and continued to rago for many hours, defying all the efforts of the firemen to check them. Tbe heat was so intense that some of the en gines caught fire, and were thrown into the river to save them. B-.-tween the toll-bridge and the piers every mill, warehouse and store is goue, including tho mills and warehouses of Messrs. Fitzbugh Sc Littlejohn, Ame*. Doolittle, Abby. Pen field, and others. These mills were mostly constructed of wood, which account* for tbe rapid extension of tho flames. Every mill north of Bridge-street (viz : Fitzhugh’s. Doolittle’s, Wyman’s Ac.,) was burnt, also Ames and Hall’s elevators. Nearly two hundred dwelling# and stores are also in ruinB. The section of the town consumed is bounded on the weal by the river, on the south by Bridge street, on the east by Sixth street, and ou the north by the Fort grounds. The only property saved within th< se limits is Randall's elevator, tho second Methodist church, and half a dozen dwt Rings. The loss is not less tlmu one million and a half, in cluding goods In store. There were over 300,000 bushels of grain consumed. All tbe insurance offices will suffer ncavily. Among tbe loseis are the follow- ?’itzhngh A Co., $20,000 on mill; Insured for $12,- 000. There was a large stock, some 15 or $20,000 bushels of grain inside. S.

L««s on grain in store $6,000. Fitzhugh A Co. bad a large amount of merchandise in store, the loss of which Is not less than $200,000, which falls on parties abroad. Talcott’s machine shop, foundry, pattern bouse and office; loss $30,000. Seventy men have been thrown out of employment in this establishment. Mr. Talcott’s house and furniture were also destroy ed. Covered by insurance. Some fifteen blocks are entirely burnt, extending over about 45 acres. Also, tbe large new planing mill owned by Gerritt Smith A Co., with all the machinery and lumber. A share of the lo*9 will fall on persons abroad. The beat across tbe river, a distance of seven hun dred feet, was so great tbat it was feared tbe opposite side would catcb, bat the wind blowing strong in tbe opposite direction prevented It. _ Another PI re at Oswego. Osweoo, July 6. Another fire occurred this morning, at 1 o’clock, in the hardware establishment of lunyon, Collins A Co., at West Oswego. The upper stories, occupied by three lodges of Odd Fellows, and by Law ofllces, were entirely gntied. Kinyon A Co. saved their goods in a damaged state. Total loss $4,000. Tbe fire waa thought to be the work or iocendiarlea, and much alum prevails, Tbe Oswego and United States Ho tels were both on fire last evening, and the City Hotel was set on fire daring tbe night, bnt no damage re sulted in either ease.

Most of onr readers are acqpaintod with the gen eral principle of maritime law, that vessels at sea ore held to be part and parcel of the country to which they belong, aud that they are subject to her Juris diction alone, aj Napoleon eplgrnimnatically phrased it, tbat partout ou cst It drapeau la est la ualrte. Our resistance of Eugland’s pretended right of search, and onr subsequent vindication of our merchant navy, were based on this principle. But it only applies to vessels at sea, beyond any territorial jurisdiction.— When a ship once enters foreion waters, the munici pal code overrides the international law, aud she be comes, as Lord Palmerston says, as clearly subject to tbe jurisdiction or the country iu whose wat-.m she is as if she were high and dry on shore. Hence it was that, when the men of the Sardinian frigate San Gio vanni infringed our laws, our uollco were entitled to pursue the offender on board tue foreign vessel, and insist on his surrender. By the case of the Hermann the point is placed in a still clearer light. The of fence of the Sardinians was committed on shore ; that of the mate of tho Hermann on board of his ship, while lying in the port of Southampton. But so far os the question of jurisdiction U concerned the ca*-cs are parallel, and, as will be seen by Mr. lngeraoll’s letter, there is do disposition on the part of our gov ernment to quarrel with this interpretation. Still it must be obvious to all that such an under standing may lead to grave incoufenienccs. Ocean mail steamers are bound to sail on the day fixed un der heavy penalties. As the law stands, any rascal may make an affidavit and obtain a warrant against the captain or mate ol one of our steamers just as she is on the (mint of leaving Liverpool or Southampton, and ro place the vessel under the alternative of sail ing without an indispensable officer, or delaying her departure ot a ruinouR expense. The same tiling may occur here with respect to one of the Cunard vessels. Zeal on the part or a consul like Mr. Croskey mav lead to unpleasant altercdtionR,and distuib the friend ly feeling existing between the two countries.. It is obviously necessary that foreign vessels should not be suffered to play the part of harbo 8 of refuge for malefactors; bat wisdom dictates the policy of nar rowing the list of cases in which (hey can be boarded by police to as few as possible. A two-penny assault case is assuredly not one requiring an exercise of such delicate powers. Would it not be possible to es tablish a regulation at the great ocean ports under which the officer entrusted with the warrant should be authorized to receive bail for tbe due appearauce of the officer accused ou tbe return of the vessel?
