This consists in cutting out the strong, growing shoots, in the growing sea- ssn; this weakens the growth of the tree, and induces maturity The reason of this is, the sap of the plant ascends to the leaves, where it becomes changed, so as to be able to form wood ; then it descends the tree, continuing to add to its bulk, and the quan tity and strength of its roots. Thus, the smaller the quantity of leaves suffered to remain on a tree, the less will be its capaci ty to form roots; and weaker, therefore, will its vigor be the following season. This powerful. tod.

And into the deacon’s wool went the Qua ker. The deacon, nothing loth, entered in to the spirit of the thing, and we leave them thus a. nip and tuck,” to look to the stran ger and Bob Carter, who fit and fought, fought and fit, until Squire Catchcm and the town constable came up, and in their at tempt to preserve the peace, and nrrest the offenders, tlie Squire was thrust through the window of a neighboring watchmaker, doing >'» heap of damage, while lawyer Hooker, in attempting to aid the constable, was hit in a mistake by the furious blacksmith in the short ribs, and went reeling down Gumbo s cellar with frightful velocity ! The friends and follow churchmen of deacon Pugh took tides against the Quaker antagonist, and the shop boys of Abraham, seeing tbeir em ployer thus beset, came to the rescue, while two Irishmen, full of fun and frolic, believ ing it to be a <• free fight,” tried their hands and sticks upon the combatants indiscrimi nately, so that in less than an hour the qui et and happy town of Frogtown was shaken foam its propriety by one grand, sublimely ridiculous and terrific battle. Heads and windows were smashed—women and chil dren screamed—dogs barked—dust flew— labor oeaaed—and so furious, mad and ex- exist in many parts of the country, In these parts, such errors are not so pre valent as those of ovcrtilling and double - cropping, &c., striving to make the soil pro duce more than it has strength and vitality to bear. If the spring, corn or oats is plan ted, in the fall season it is succeeded by wheat, and then again the next season by rye, or some other grain equally as oppres sivc to the soil, and so they manage, for a series of years, without any renewing of its fertility. No regular system is carried out to keep up the vitality of the land, or add richness to the soil. After it is once reduc ed, then efforts to restore its primitive fer tility r.rj resorted to, by applications of plaster, manure, sowing clover-seed, and sab soiling, with almost fruitless labor for yean; and then, perhaps, there are only to be succeeded again by hemp, flax, or barley, grains the most exhausting to land that can be grown. The remedy I would offer for such an er ror, is as follows: Raise only one crop of grain per year, continue course not more than three successive years, manuring all the time; after which, raise a crop of clover, or timothy and clover, as best suits the con venience of the farmer. In case you raise wheat, summer-fallow the land, turning un der tlie clover, loosening the land, and en riching it by vegetable decay. By this pro cess, the farmer may preserve his land from wearing out, and save much labor and ex pense ; besides, he will raise greater crops, with much more profit to himself. Again, farmers do not consume enough vegetable products on their farms. The fat tening of cattle, hogs, sheep and poultry, should be done on the farm where raised, and not driven off to some public place, or near some market, for such purpose. The benefit received by manuring the land, and the destruction of plants, grain, &c., show, at a glance, the utility of so doing, aside from the increase of profit on the stock itself. Thousands of cattle and hogs are brought up yearly in this country, and sent off to eastern farms, and there fattened with grains raised on western farms. Eastern farmers thus receive all that benefit to themselves and their lands, which western farmers so much need at home. Western lands should not, by any means, be thought so rich, as cited became the whole community, *hat a ■ no j to nced any resources than those quiet looker on, if there had been any, i wliich rain and sunlight give to support fer- Would have sworn the evil ones were all in | and strength of soil.

Briefly as I have explained the principles ; Telfair, Silas H Cooper. of pruning, with care on the part of the farmer, it will be sufficient to guide him. If the tree be too weak, prune early in the fall. If too strong, late in the spring, or even in summer. If healthy and vigorous, at the same time productive, prune not at all, the balance of the two forces will be distributed, and injury result from it. If ihe branches be so thick as to obstruct the good influence of the light upon it, and the tree be in otherwise good condition, just be fore the bursting of the leaf, is a good time to thin them. Old trees are better renova ted by putting good soil to tbeir roots, than maiming their branches, still, pruning on the principles I have stated will do won ders.

It is not a little amusing to read the spec ulations of the newspapers in relation to the cabinet of Gen. Pierce. Some of the opposi tion papers are so very obliging as not on ly to establish the principles upon which the members of his cabinet are to be selec ted, but even to name the individuals who are to compose it. Others are more modest, and content themselves with the assurance that certain men are to have places in the cabinet, and certain others are sure not to be in it; that this section is to be prescribed &c. The democratic papers of different parts of the country and individuals are urging their favorites for seats in the cabi net, claiming it as due to their sections, or the merits and services of the distinguished persons named by them. All this is highly amusing to those who know the history and character of General Pierce; and it docs not require a very intimate acquaintance with these to show the absurdity of all snch speculations. General Pierce knows and duly appreci ates the responsibilities of the high station to which he has been called by the unsolici ted suffrages of the American people; and his whole history gives evidence that he will meet those responsibilities in a manner cred itable to himself and acceptable to the coun try. He will bit held, and justly so, res. pons&le to the country for the acts of his administration; his cabinet are responsible to him. He *s (he representative of the whole country, literally knowing no North, no South, no East, no West” in the admin istration of the government; and his cab inet must be imbued with the same nation al ideas and purposes, acting for the coun try, and not each for a section. His cabinet must be a unit—fully hamonizing in all their views, cordially seconding the deter minations of the President, and vigorously laboring to carry out every measure of pub lic policy to which the administration may be committed. Upon this depends the suc cess of the administration; without this all the labors of the President for the public welfare will be futile, and the most devoted and self-sacrificing efforts on his part will end in humiliation to himself and disgrace to the country. Now, how must such a cabinet be selected.’ The President is responsible for their acts, and he should select them, not take them at the bidding of others. By this we do not mean that he should disregard or refuse to listen to snch suggestions as may be made to him; and those who know Gen. Pierce know well that he will not act hastily or unad visedly in so vastly an important matter.— But we mean that, having diligently sought for and carefully considered all the informa- tionthat is in his power to obtain, he should then decide according to the dictates of his own judgment; and tbosj who know him need no assurance that he will do so, concientious- y and fearlessly. Gen Pierce knows well the prominent and leading men of the Un ion, their history, their characters, their qualifications, and their positions at home and before the country; and with such aid as this he will select for his cabinrt ^i ujse * men—men of broad, national news, sound judgment, sterling ability, strict integrity, and correct principles—men who will not use their places for their own emolument, or as stepping-stones to future promotion, but who will devote their energies to the suc cess of the administration and the perma nent welfare of the country, seeking the hon or of being faithful servants as the reward of patriotic service. In acting thus, as our knowledge of Gen. Pierce induces us to believe he will, it is nearly certain that many persons will be disappointed in the composition ef his cab- Nearty every State in the Union, out united in the late canvass to reotere the gov ernment to the hands of the democracy; and during that canvass it was everywhere de clared by our papers and speakers that all who stood boldly upon the Baltimore plat form, and supported our candidates; were to be regarded as democrats. All snch are to be thus treated now: and it seems to us that if a man is in every other respeet the prop er man-, in the opinion of the President, for n cabinet officer, the fact that he formerly belonged to this or that section, into which the party may have been divided in any State, should not prevent his selection So, too, with the idea that the holding of official position heretofore should influence the decision in regard to any man. In obr opinion this will neither exclnde any one nor weigh in his favor. If General Pierce should conclude that certain members of Mr. Polk s cabinet can subserve tbe public j interests better than others, as members of his cabinet, we see no reason why he should not select them. His sole desire must be to promote the welfare, prosperity, and honor of the country, and he will wish to call a- round him the best men—those who, under all the circumstances, are best calculated to aid him most effectually in administering the great trust confided to him by tbe Amer ican people. And it is of little moment to him or them whether these men have been cabinet ministers, members of either house of congress, foreign ministers, or simple pri vate citizens; all that any oie should de mand is that the men shall be « up to the mark on all the great questions of the day,” and equal to the duties required of them. Sueh are our •< notions” upon this subject; and they seem to us to be reasonable, and snch as will commend themselves to the good sense of tbe democracy of the country. It is their desire and expectation that the admin istration of Gen. Pierce may be the most successful, brilliant, and permanently ad vantageous to tho country that we have ever had; and to enable him to make it so, they will forego all minir considerations, all personal and local preferences and pre judices in regard to individuals who may be selected as his constitutional advisers, and will cheerfully yield him their confidence and zealous support. They will not ask if this man be an « old fogy,” or that one a partisan of •< Young America”—if this one has belonged to this section, or that one to the other section, of the party, but the only question will be whether the men are honest, capable, and faithful to tbe con stitution,” having tbe will and the ability to second the views and carry out the pol icy of the sagacious, energetic and patriot ic statesman whom the people have placed at the head of the government.

All sections of the democratic party cordially New Code of ihbflat Law. There are many protections thrown around personal property, under the existing law, which will be taken away by the operation of the new Code. Negroes and personal property, generally, when brought to thia State and held under limitations, or encum bered by mortgages and deeds of trust, are not always freed from snch limitations and encumbrances when held by persons having the apparent unencumbered title. In many cases the ownershipnnow is delusive, and life estates or estates for years, are as well protected from creditors as if the world was advised of the extent of every man’s title. Under the new order of thitlgs, estates for life, or years, in personal property, upon its removal into this state, will vest absolutely in the person who removes into the State with it, so far os creditors, and purchasers without notice are concerned; unless the conveyance creating snch estate is recorded in the country to which the property is brought within a specified time thereafter; and when such property shall be removed to another country, then it must be recor ded in such county within a limited time af ter its removal; and when personal prop erty is subject to any lien, encumbrance, mortgage or trust for the security of debts at the time of its removal to this State, tbe instrument evidencing the same most be re corded in the country where the property is brought. So it behooves persons who have remainders under deeds and wills, and debt ors who hold encumbrances on such proper ty, to see that our records shall explain what title an apparent owner of snch prop erty really has. Mortgages on real property, to secure debts, in existence at the time of making the instrument, are void as to certain persons therein named, unless recorded within three months from their date; and all other con veyances of real property, mortgages or deeds of trust, to secure any debts, other than those last mentioned, will be void as to purchasers for a valuable consideration, mortgages, and judgment creditors without notice, unless the same are recorded before the accrual of the rights of such purcha sers, mortgages, or judgment creditors. And all wills and conveyances, creating estates in lands in remainder or reversion, or upon condition, after an estate for life or lives, are inoperative and void, as against credi tors of the tenant, for life, in possession, af ter a possession, of such tenant shall com mence. In the making of deeds and wills, and in fact, in the framing of all instruments, in tended to transfer property of any value, we suppose every prudent man will go to hia lawyer. But if there are any snch penny-wise and pound-foolish people as wish to save money by stopping at the tap and letting out at the bung-hole, we advise them to write their own deeds and frame their own wills: thqr will have their reward. For tbe ope ration of such words as create contingent remainders and executory devices will be determined by law, ami not the intention of writers; and the rule in Skeltjfs ease is abolished. Trust estates, for the purpose of icmmnlsriim, are declared to have hot n limited nidmv, from the date at the con veyance, or. if by will, fro* the death of the testator; aid lease bold estates cannot be created for a longer term than twenty yean. A difficulty which has heretofore existed in tbe disposal of trust property, is removed by the new Code. Ibemueappliea- tina ef trust money, by the trustee, when he is authorised to receive the mem, will net invalidate the title of the purchaser, unleos there shall be collusion with the trustee, or his intention of mismanaging the fund shall be known to the purchaser.

This is a very interesting tale, giv ing a description of the daring Pirates that formerly infected our Southern coast.
