The Turpentine Business.
We have gathered from reaper-ruble sources some in
formation in relation to the Turpentine husinees, which
we publish below in tile expectation that it may be ac
ceptable to some of our readers who eith-r have embark
ed in it, or propose to do so. The consumption of lie
article is increasing vastly—much beyond the general
calculation and belief. One principle source ol this in.
crease ut in the use of thedistdled spirits of turpentine
known under the name of Camphine. There are some
omissions m orr article which will he supplied as soon
as we receive tiie requisite information-aiming others the
processofdiatillstirm The statements furnished, may
as far as they go, fie assumed to fie generally correct.
Selection of Trees —A medium sized tree with large
top furnishes the turpentine best, ill North Carolina,
however, treesof onlyeightor nine inches in diameter
are ollen selected.
Catting of the Box"* —This should be done before
the sap begins to ascend rapidly—say in the months of
December, January and February. The firat turpen
tine which Hows is called virgin turpentine, and in or
der to preserve the pure white col ur which is natural
to it, it is to cut the boxes not less titan nine or ten inch
es above the ground, the object being to secure it from
the dirt which mi.Mt be carried in during rain storms. |
The tree should be scarified about once a week (or of
ten enough to keep the turpentine run.i.ng.) with a
round shave. A scarifienron of something like a had
inch in width, chevron-like, is enough These succes
sive scarifications may be thus carried on immediately
above the boxes, during some seven years without as.
cending higher on the tree than from fifteen to twenty
feet. Eacli incision of a box will measure about twelve
inches around the tree, and in large trees two or three
incisions may be made at tiie same time.
The Gathering —The first gathering will be all what
is termed “dippings” (or virgin turpentine,) with no
“scrapings ” Rosin made from the virgin turpentine
is transparent, and is worth in New York, $2 50 per
barrel. On the second gathering, a small portion of
scraping is generally removed and shoved down into
the box, when it is taken with tiie dipping. After
this second dipping there are scrapings for these twelve
inches, and so on for each successive portion expo,
sed. These scrapings are, by some, mixed with the
dippings, iu which case it is called “mixed turpentine,”
while by others, they are left till the end of tiie yeur
1 and gathered separately, when they te Worth about
half price. There are six dip,., .rs in a year, each one
. yielding about R pint of turpentine.
The Proper Preservation and Distillation—Twen
ty yeurs ago, there were more spirits of turpentine dis
tilled in Europe than in the United States. Ten yeurs
ago, there was more distilled in the Northern thuu m
the Southern States. Five years ugo nearly all the dis
tillation was trnnslerred to the South, and within the
last two years only, that process how been transferred
from the town to the coutry, convenient to the place
where the crude article is collected. There are abund
ant and obvious reasons for all these changes, and dis
tillation is no longer a secret. Any farmer may prac
tice it with success it he be provided with the proper
means and the requisite knowledge. By distillation as
now carried on, (to say nothing of the increased value
of the spirits and tV saving of the transportaion)alargc
outlay lor barrels is avoided. Any one may thus make
a thrnisun 1 barrels ofth* turpentine. which he will gbth
ei lit p .t.tp not more tiian 150 barrels, which aie ta
ken to the uistillery, emptied, and returned to be filled
again. This avoids too, the great lose which too coin- *
tuonly occurs with the virgin turpentine. If a barrel |
of tins be sent away as an object of commerce, unless i
the barrel be very perfect die best pan of it is sure lo run
out and lie lost, and only half price is paid for what re- ‘
inuins. ThE loss veiy often discourages new ts-gin- ‘
tiers in the busmes*, and induco* them to abandon the ‘
wo k.
The Task —The usual task is about 12,000 trees to
each baud. Tnia will occupy bun only übout nine
months m each year. During the working season, he
should collect about 68,000 pints of turpentine for the
annual produc t. This product is equal lo some ‘2OO
barrels, which, uuder ordinary circumstances is equal
to an average of, say S4OO to each hand, which is a
low estimate. When turpentine is high, from to
6'JtNi to each hand have been made.
IW.—Thr manufacture of Tar lias been, during tlt
last year, almost ns profitable as that of turpentine.—
It is a good buaineaa at $1 per barrel. At $1 25 tier
barrel, it is as good as making turpentine. ‘I lk* aver
age pree fbr the last twelve months lm been $1 50 per
barrel The process of tusking it is wll enough

Wc learn by a slip from the Avgusta Constitution
alist, dated fitli inst. 10 o’clock A. M., that the Brittan
m had arrived nt Boston on the 4th,at o’clock F. M.,
bringing the gratifying intelligence ofun important im
provement in the price of Cotton in Liverpool-great*
est advance on low Middling Upland 41, and finer qual
ities M to f>*d. Richmond Flour *J7s. to 275. 6d.
Wheat 7a. 6d. to He 6d.
If this statement be correct the advance is from l to
id. p.T lb. equal to one cent.
The Treaty.
The treaty was still under discussion in the Senate
on the 3d, and it was supposed thut the vote would
not be taken until Saturday, perhaps .Monday last. Ii
is generally believed that there will be only ten votes in
the Senate opposed to its ratification. This however
is merely conjectural.
(•enrrals Scott and Worth.
We copy from the Savannah Republican, the corres
pondence between these distinguished Officers. The
Editors say, they obtained it from an officer of the Ar
my . and intimate that it was published m pamphlet form,
m the City of Mexico, at the instance of Gen. Worth.
We must hope, on account of long and ardently cher
ished regard for Gen. Worth, that in this matter, there
lias been some misapprehension. His conduct in a
military point of view, is sufficiently reprehensible, with
out adding to it the positive crime of giving publicity to
it in the face of the enemy. Unless there are other cir
cumstances not yet developed, his reputation with all
correctly thinking men, must be irretrievably lost The
country had to some extent resolved to overlook his pet
uleuce And his resignation on the Rio Grande. Even
his old enemies rejoiced that General Taylor, at Monte
rey, had given him an opportunity to wipe off the stain,
and that lie behaved with so much gallantry on the oc
casion. We cannot yet believe that a person of his
noble, generous impulses, nnd of his lion-hearted hero
ism, could have, under any conceivable excitement
loaned himself to the schemes which have evidently
been devised for the injury or destruction oi Ins Com
mander in Chief. It would be an act ol st-lf-iuiinoiation:
for under such a precedent, no officer is safe—because
he knows no’ the moment when he may he suspended
from command, on the representations of some insigni
ficant subaltern. It strikesat the root of nil discipline, and
therefore is the more to be discarded. Froin Mr. Polk
and Gen. Pillow, the country could expect nothing bet
ter. They arc playing a political game, the end of which
is personal ami party aggrandizement,and consequently
they will not hesitate at any thing calculated to accom
plish their designs. In regard to the Commander in
Chief, our friend of the Republicans who knows him
well, has the following remarks, which we doubt not
am strictly correct:
“ Gen. Scott has his infirmities. All men have
theirs. Ho has his moments of indiscretion, of impru
dence, but never of dishonorable conduct. He has a cer
tain exterior air of assumption, if you please tu call it so
hut under it is a generous, a magnani:.ions and forgiving
heart. He is not unirequentiy betrayed into imprudent
expressions, when the conduct .of others meets hi* dis
approval, but his censure is dictated hy an abhorrence
of the act. not by iriaface against the individual. Ilis
order which has led to this correspondence (310, we
think is the number of it,) may be characterized as in
discreet and injudicious, but where was the mil
itary offence in it ? There was none. If it had no ap
plication it could but recoil upon himself, and he has
probably already regretted the temper and haste with
which it was penned. It was at most a venial error,
which some of 1 is peers might condemn, while others
might justify it, for we cannot tell at this distance, how
the naturally impatient temperament of Scott might
have been provoked and harassed in the midst of duties
onerous enough to break down the health of most men.
The letter of Col. Duncan, was unquestionably most
grossly disresjiectful and insubordinate in its tendency,
and the arrogant pretensions and gross misconduct of
Gen. certainly indicate that Gen. Scott has
been surrounded with more perplexities, annoyances
anddifficulties, than are now apparent.”
The Kentucky Com cation.
The Richmond Republican of the 28th ult says;
“ The Whig State Convention of Kentucky, assem
bled on the 22d, nominated the Hon. John J, Crit
tenden, by acclamation for Governor, and appointed
avowed Taylor men as Delegates to the National Con
vent. n. The Taylor Convention, assembled on the
same day, nominated the same delegates, to the Na
tional Convention.”
New Orleans ami Ohio Telegraph Line.
The Vicksburg Whig of last Wednesday says: ‘ This
line is already completed and in operation to Nashville •
is under contract to Cotanit*, Mississippi, and arrange-’
ments are making to extend it to New Orleans as spee
dily as possible, Mr. Lloyd, the general agent, passed
through our city for Jackson, on yesterday, for the pur
pose nl ascertaining positively what had been done in
tliat city, and with tiie view of placing the line under
contract to Natchez.”
