said to be one hundred and ninety-six feet In dream*
fcrtfnoejast above the aurfeoe of the ground. Its
enormous trunk Is separated Into fire divisions, which
rives to It the appearance of several trees growing
together. In a circular space, formed by these large
branches, a hut has been e.cted for the accommoda
tion of those who collect the cbesnuts.
The Ivory-Nut IW«i—The Ivory-nut tree la popu
larly called the Tagua-plant, and is common in South
America. The tree is ono of the numorous family or
palms, but belongs to tho order designated screw
pine tribe. The natlvea use their leaves to cover their
cottages, and from the nuta make buttons and various
other article*. In an early state, the nuts contain a
aweet milky liquid, whloh afterwards assumes a solid*
lty nearly equal to ivory, and will admit of a high
polish. It is known as the Ivory nut, or vegetable
ivory, and has recently been brought into use for va*
.* IhiBrazil Nut 2Vff^-Tho Brasll-nnt tresis may
justly command tho atteutlon of tho enttraeastic
naturalist. Tho tree thrives well In the province of
Brasil, and immense quantities of its fruit are ex
ported to foreign countries. It grows to a height or
from fifty to eighty feet, and Its appearance Is one or
the most makstlo ornaments of the forest. The fruit,
In Its natural position, resembles a cocoa-nut. being
extremely hard, and about tho also of a child's head.
Each one of these oonttfina from twelve, to twenty of
these nuts nicely packed together. And to obtain
the nuts as they appear In market those shells havo
to be broken open. During the season of their falling
It is dangerous to enter the groves where they abound,
as the force of their descent Is enough to knock down
the strongest man, The natives, however, provide
themselves with wooden bucklers, which they hold
over their'heads while collecting tho fruit from the
ground.
The Cannon Ball TYw.—Among tho plants of
Guinea, one of the most curious is tho cannon ball
tree. It grows to the height of sixty feet, and Its
flowers are remarkable for beauty and fragrance, and
contradictory qualities. Its blossoms are of a deli
cious crimson, appearing in large branobes and ex
haling a rich perfume. The fruit resembles enormous
cannon balls—hence the name. However, some say
it has been so called because of the noise which the
balls make in bursting. From the shell domestic
utensils are made, and tho contents contain several
kinds of acids, besides sugar and gum, and furnish
the materials for making an excellent drink in sick
ness. Butsingular as it may appear, this pulp, when
In a perfectly ripo state, is very filthy, and the odor
from it exceedingly nnple&sant.
The Bread Fruit Tree This treo is found on the
Islands of the Pacific Ocean. The trunk rises to the
height of thirty and forty feet, and attains the size of
a man’s body. The fruit grows about tho size of a
child’s head. When used for food it is gathered dc*
fore it is folly ripe, and baked among the ashes, wheu
It becomes a wholesome bread, and in taste somewhat
resembles fresh wheat bread. This is a very useful
tree to the natives, for, besides its fruit, which jup-
S ilos them with food, its trunk furnishes titular for
loir bouses and canoes, tho gum which exudes from
it serves as pitch for their vessels, aud from the fibres
of tho inner bark a cloth is made to cover their per
sons.
The Cow Tret—This tree isanatlvo of Venezuela,
South America. It growa in rooky situations high in
the mountains. Baron Von Humboldt gives tho fol
lowing description of it:
" On the barren flauk of a rook grows a tree with
dry and leatberly loaves; its large woolly roots can
scarcely penetrate into tbe stony soil. For several
months in the year not a single shower moistens its
foliage. Its branches appear dead and dried : yet an
pooh as the trunk is pierced, there flows from It a rich
and nourishing milk. It Is at sunshine that, this
vegetable fountain is most abundant. The natives
are then to bo seen hastening from all quarters, fur
nished with largo bowls to receive tbe rallk, which
grows yellow and thickens on tho surface. Some
drain their bowls under tho treo, while others carry
home the juice to their children; and. yon might fan
cy, as the lather returned homeward with the milk,
you Baw tbe family of a shepherd gathering around
vn receive from him the production of his flock. Tho
milk obtained by incisions made in the trunk is tol
erably think, free from all acridity, and of an agreea
ble and balmy smell. It was oflered as In the shell
of tho calabask tree. We drank a considerable quan
tity of |t in the ovoning before going to bod, and vory
early In the morning, without experiencing the slight
est iqjnrious effect.’ 1

Ho thinks the corn this fall, in the counties alluded

Tho San Augnatino Herald, ot tho 20th ult, learns

We learn from the Leon Pioneer that CentrevHIo,

John Veunek, Esq—Wo regret to learn that this
gallant soldier of the Revolution departed this life
on tho 17th August last, at his residence near Bache
lor’s Retreat, in the ninety-first year of his age. Ho
was a native of Abbeville District, South Carolina,
aad entered tho service of hla country at d very early
ugo, as a volunteer, under Gen Pickens. He was in
tho battle of tho Cowpens, and several other engage
ments and skirmishes with the Tories. We beiiove
ho continued in tho service of his country, till the
close of the war. It was only a year Bincoho wrote,
with his own hand, then ninety years old, an account
of ills Revolutionary services, for tho Southern Pa
triot. At that time his band was as steady, and he
wrote aa neatly, aB a boarding school Miss. The de
ceased, through his long life, sustained a high char-
actor, for truth, uprightness and Honor. He was a
member of tho Presbyterian Church Bixty years be
fore his death, and died in that faith, and greatly re-
apoctcd by that Church—Greenville, S. C., Patriot,

Important Discovery in the Manufacture of
Iron—A gentleman named J. Finch, of our city has
recently mndo the discovery in tho refining of Iron,
which will be not only highly important to our Pitts
burg manufacturers, but also to the business through
out the wholo country, and, if known, to tbe world at
large. This refining discovery has, by his process
in puddling, given as a result, that our common gray
Alleghany iron was mado folly equal to tbe best Ju
niata, by advancing its strength orer twenty thou
sand pounds to the square inch. His process, as is
attested by persons acquainted with the business, is
applicable to all kinds of iron* with tho same advance
in strength, making that metal entirely safe and fol
ly strong enough for all purposes for which it is need

Yellow Fever at Fulton—Wo loam by a gentle
man last evening from tlio Ouachita river, that the
yellow fever had broken out at Fulton, a villugo of
about three hundred inhabitants, situated about ono
mile above Monroe, and that tho .deaths in one day
wore seventeen. Tho greatest consternation pre
vailed, and the inhabitants were fleeing to tho coun
try. leaving scnrcely%ny to tsko care of tho sick.

Baltimore as a Fiour Market.
There havo been from tirao to time many mis-state
ments by interested writers in regard to the flour
market of Baltimore. Onr market possesses decided
advantages over that of New York. Tho cost for In
spection is nominally nothing, being only, we think,
one cent per barrel, paid by tbo manufacturer. Tbe

federation, in which the ** sovereignty- freedom and
independence 1 ' ot each is fully guarantied. I In 1787
the present constitution was adopted, which is mere-'

This constitution was framed in couventicu by tho

by tuo people. To show tbe perfect indopeadence of

clares that" the powers not delegated to tho U. States
by this constitution, nor prohibited by it to tbe States,
are reserved to the States respectively or to tttt peo

can exercise no powers ekoept such as are d 1st!hotly

and thus Infringes upon tbe rights of the States, such
acts have no binding force, and cannot Iroperiy bo
carried into effect. As Mr. Jefferson declared, they
" are altogether void and of no force." 1
The truth is, tbo doctrine of State-rigbta is tho
doctrine of the constitution—so understood by ail the
Democratic politicians in itbo Union. Mr.

But is a man a dlBunionlats because ho believes in
the rights of tho States? Far i‘rom|it. He is the
only true friend of tho constitution—<f tho govern
ment of the Union. Tbe only possible) way to per
petuate our government is to preservcltlio rights of
the States; or, in the language of Mr. ludlson, in the
Virginia Resolutions of 1798, a fulthfa'observauce of
tho principles of the constitution “ car alone Becuro

Each of the States of this Union iave a perfect
government; and they afford the mah protection to
the persons and property of tlio citiins. The laws
and Institutions of our State are nrould us, about ub.
We look to them for protection, and tr tho security
or our lives and happiness. Tho Gonmraent or the
United States is distant from us—basbut little to do
with our daily pursuits and with our jrdinary inter
ests, but still it is important. It attends to all for
eign matters and all matters of geniral concern to
tbe nation.
One great error prevails in some minds, that our
Government would fell to pieces, if qot held togeth
er by force. No forco could keep thbStatos together,
h they desired a separation. Tho Oiion, in such an
event, would prove truly a rope or stud. The Union

If tho doctrino of State-rights is earried ont fully
in tho administration of the Gmernl Government,
our system might be safely extcmled over tho whole
of this continent. Each local community, with its
local laws and institutions, and a general government
to attend to the general nffuirs of \he nation, exter

From the N. O. Crescent.
The Noble Charity.
[Tbo following, from our ftlr correspondent, Dora
Lyons, giving glimpses of a visit to the Iuliriuuries,
will bo read with interestEhs. Crescent.
I Iiavo visited one of the Infirmaries established
by tho Howard Association, situated on Magazine-
street, between Basin and Robin. On entering that
commodious and airy hulking, I was forcibly struck
with tlio air of cleanlinefl and order which seemed
to pervade It. The first floor I found occupied by
grown persona, and on eiery side, upon neatly ar
ranged beds, were some oftbe suffering and destitute
of our population, prostrated by the fearful malady
which for the last two fuontlis has been raging
throughout onr city. M*st ofthem, and indeed I
may say all, were foreigners; many, no doubt, who
had but recently landed on uur Uo-qiitahlc shores—
yet they were surrounded by kind andclficiout nurees,
ready to attend III their slighter want,
j To escape starvation onu oppression in their own
I land, they flee to tills country for refuge, and though
their lot may seem to be cast in a city where pestl-
louco is wont to invade, yet, when stricken by dis
ease, whore can tbo poor sufferer obtain Writer and
more Immediate relier.than is here bestowed? Where
can there be found more prompt undskilful physicians,
more excellent anil attentive purees, than among the
kind heartod, benevolent and sympathizing inhabi
tants of New Orleans? • .
One of tho convalescing informed mo that sho nev
er could wish for kinder treatment than she had re
ceived both from tbo plijticiau and nurse who attend
ed her during her illnek Sho also mentioned the
unremitting attentions o tho charitable Indies who
are bestowing thoir time n making garments for the
needy and daily visiting ho establishment.
Noexpenso is spared, i id every things tlmt can bo
done is now doing for th relief of tbe sufferers. Of
the physicians, who remJ r voluntary aid to this As
sociation, no one can sju k in tevnw of commenda
tion too highly. Thoir t^no is devoted in administer-
ing to tbo wauts of the ifetressed. and they are un
wearied in visiting nil accjons or the city.
After spending some tine in tho lower department,
I passed to the upper storj, where were groups of
children—in my estimation ono of tho most interest
ing features of tho Infirmary.
Some, freed from disease and ranvnlesclng, were
upon tlio bnlcony. Neatly dressed iwq unable to re
alize their orphnn condition, they were piftyjug and
amusing themselves in various ways. Dtficrs were
lying upon their couches, which, being dccr^-d w ith
sprigs of the orange tree, produced nu agrenam*. *—»
cheerful effect. Upon one bed was a poor little suf
ferer, moaning nt intervals and looking for relief into
the faces,.r those around him. Being unable to spook
lie won supposed to bo deaf and dumb, and the feel
ing, kind-hearted matron was Irving in vain to dis
cover tlio cause of his distress. Nut lar front him re
clined a lovclv little girl about Iwo yenrs of age, with
fair hair and liazol eyes. SI;o had just awakened
from her slumbers nnd lay in a composed manner
seemingly, disposed to canao no unnecessary trouble.
Upon another couch were two infants, not more than
six or eight months old, both in a tranquil sleep*—
Then there was a pale sickly little ore, borne about
tho room in the arms of her nurse. In ono corner
was a uoblo looking babe, with dark brown hair anil
large blue eyes. Supported by his nurso, lie was
sweetly smiling in tlio fnee oi anoHier interesting
child who apparently Imd but just teamed to take tho
flvst tottering footsteps of infancy.
Who can witness scenes like thoso Vithout feeling
some solicitude for the future wolfare if those little
ones wlio are mado orplinus by this telrible epidem
ic ? Many of them iu a few years will undoubtedly
be promising aud intelligent boys aid girls, and
wherever their destinies may iio, wlen questioned
concerning thoir parents, how often wll the reply bo
that they died in New Orleans ofyellav fever in the
fearful summer of 1853 ?.
Much praise is due to tlio liberal qindod inhabi
tants of our own and other cities of mi 1 land. Could
all of thorn be eye-wltiiosses to tho effeit of thoir con
tributions in alleviating the sufferings \f the misera
ble and afflicted, thoy would bo amplyrewarded for
their benevolence. Should ono of our Njrthern cities
be visited with a pestilence similar to tUg which has
fallen on us, I think I can with assurany say that
the people of New Orleans would bo amiig tlio lira!
to render prompt and cillcicnt aid. \
May tho sympathy and good feeling Manifested
throughout the country be the means of driving clo
ser the band of union of these United StatoB.nnd may
tho dreadful epidemic now gradually leaving us be
instrumental in tho All-wise Providence of God in
f iroduclng a change in the moral nnd religbus wel-
are of onr Crescent City. Dora Lyons.
New Orleans, Sept.6,1853.
Yellow Fever at Tlilbodans
By tho arrival yesterday evening ol tho I/onnldson-
vilie packet R. M. Jones, Capt. Rogan, the reports
previously received here, oi tno prevalence of yellow
fever at Thibodaux, are fully confirmed. Tho Miner
va of Saturday, 3d instant, states that tho disease is
of tho most malignant type, and has created a panic
among the citizens verging on frenzy. All places of
business are closed. The streets are deserted, and
look moro like a path in the wlldcraess than the pub
lic thoroughfares of a thriving commercial town of
1500 Inhabitants. Tho citizens are flying in every
direction to get, If possible, beyond the pestiferous
atmosphere which seems to hang orer and around
onr before salubrious village. Up to the 27th ult..
tho number of cases was 22} on the evening of tho
samo day tho number had greatly increased. Mr.
Anderson, ofthe Minerva, was attacked while en
gaged In making up tho form.
The Editor goes on to say that an bis compositors
bod fled. The diseoso spread rapidly np to Satarduy
evening, and the numbor of cases exceeded 100.
Novor have we witnessed scenes of greater distress
and abandonment to fear. Parents abandon their off
spring, and children forsake tbeir parents, and leave
them to tho protection of the benevolent stronger.
Tho Minerva contains thirty obltuaiy notices, all
of yellow fever*—JV. O. Crescent, 7th.
Yellow Fever on the Riykb—The St. Louis Re
publican, ot the 29th nlL, says:
We leamod on Butarday, that there was thirteen
persons sick at tbo Quarantine Station,tbreo of them
of yellow fever. Of this disease, there were six
deaths during tho weok: and of about twenty cases
that have been landed during the season from Now
Orleans boats, six toon havo proved fetal. Most of
thorn, howevor, wore in the loatstago of tho disease
when pnt off at Quarantine. Southern boats bring
very few passengers, and the avorago mortality on
each, since tho fever has prevailed at New Orleans,
has been about five.
