Ti e late speech of Senator Iversox throws

-uch a speech should have been deliver

more. Indeed, this favor has been so
■k,-I. that Mr. Iverson's enemies have ven
to charge that he has expressed such de-
Southern Rights” sentiments for the
se of pandering io public opinion, and
■ securing his re-election. Os course, we
liate this imputation as mean and mali
- but the fact that it has been made is
-, licant.
on the whole, we believe that while the
X ::i is rallying with ever increasing enthusi

:aybecoming more and more convinced that
t I nion is not indispensable to her safety or
prosperity, and more and more determined to
maintain her rights at any risk or cost. We
d >t say that there is as much of this feeling
as the Cireer Stone desires—nor as much as we
d.-.re—but nevertheless we believe that it ex
ists and will continue with a crescendo move

1 Thk Orchabd and Fruit Garden. —ls you have
‘ not finished pruning your orchard, do it at once,
omitting only such trees as arc growing too luxuri
antly to bear. Such ought not to be pruned until the
leaves are pretty well sprouted. By this method,
such trees will get cheeked and go to bearing ; should,
however, this late pruning not l»e sufficient, give them
another severe pruning in the middle of July ; that
will prove satisfactory.
As soon as the trees are beginning to bloom, hang
up a number of wide-mouthed bottles, half filled with
molasses-water, in your treess—you will catch a great
number of insects and thus prevent them from doing
injury to your fruit.
The Flower Garden. —Propagate Dahlias as
soon as you can sec the sprouts or buds: with a sharp
knife split the stem right through, leaving a piece of
the stem and one or two buds tu each piece; plant
them so deep as to be covered with at least 4 inches
of soil. Tie up ail your flowering plants to stakes; j
the wood of the China tree, when splintered out, fur
nishesthe best and most durable stakes, where Cy
press cannot be had. If annual flower seed has not
been sown yet, it should be done at once.
that fine seeds only need to be covered slightly If
covered deeply, they will not sprout.— Suuthcrn Ctil

A Touching Incident at the Boston Fire.
—The Boston Ledger records the following in
cident, in connection with the destruction in
that city by fire, of the Mechanical Bakery :
During the fire, when men, women and chil
dren were fleeing from the burning dwellings,
a policeman discovered on the sidewalk two lit
tle children nearly naked. They were tied to
gether with a simple band of white cloth.—
Their little hands were clasped in each other,
and they were crying for their mother. Once
or twice they narrowly escaped death from a
passing engine or a falling building, and when
found their little voices were almost stifled and
their forms stiff with cold. They were taken to
the residence of a gentleman in Charter street,
where they were kindly cared for by the ladies.
Yesterday morning search was made for their
parents. They were found in one of the rooms
of a dwelling which narrowly escaped destruc
tion from a fallen wall. When found they were
both so drunk that it was impossible to arouse
them from their stupor. It is supposed that
the mother of the children tied them together,
and put them to bed, and they being awakened
by the noise anil light of the fire, strolled into
the street, as they were found near the place
where their parents were sleeping.

from a negro his wagon and team loaded with

a process sued out at the istance of William
Daniel, placed in jail to wait an examination

the executor of the late Col. Benton of a judg
ment against the deceased, rendered in 1858,
in favor of the United State«, for seven thou
sand dollars. The Government claims prior

Congress for relief on the ground of the in
solvency of the estate, the estate being hardly
sufficient to pay the bills owing for necessaries
furnished to defendant's family.
Progress of Southern Georgia.
Nothing eould be settled to show more clear
ly, at one condensed view, the advanced and
progress of Southern Georgia than the fin
ancial reports of the South Western Railroad
Company. For six months up to January,
1858, this road transported only 59,409 bales
of cotton to market, while for the same [icriod
up to January, 1859, the transportation was
140,288 bales, showing an increase of 180,879
bales, or about 122 per ceut. The nett earnings
of the road was for the same time, for first
period, $76,586 72 ; for last, $188,854 44 ; in
crease $112,267 72; or nearly 150 per cent.—
It is true, thh road has beeu extended to Alba
ny since the first period, but these statistics
still show an astounding increase of tillage,
and is at least but the foreshadowing of the
bright day to come forSouiheru Georgia, when
the Main Trunk shall be extended to the Chat
ahoochee, the Brunswick to the Main Trunk,
the Macon to Brunswick, and the South
Western to the Florida line, to couuect with
St. Marks. — B7re Grau Ucporter.

Mr. Sainsbury, a elerk in her Majesty’s

In a thick octave volume he has given every

an appendix—in some respects the most valu- |

quainted, for the first time, with points of im
portance connected with other artists, and with
the true history of the purchase by King
Charles I. of the magnificent gallery of pic- i
tures belonging to the Duke of Mantua. He
proves incontestably that Sir Dudley Carleton,
afterwards Viscount Dorchester, whose monu

Westminister Abbey, has every right to be
ranked, as a collector of works of art, and pa
tron of living artists, with Lord Arundel and

Washington News. —Washington, Feb. 16.—The
President, in reply to a resolution of the House com
municated a message to-day, enclosing a report from
the Attorney General, who says that the local offi
cers of the government at Savannah have been spe
cially and strictly enjoined to perform the duties im
posed on them by the several acts of Congress for the
supprnudon of the slave trade; that special counsel
has been employed to aid the DistJict Attorney in

satisfactorily show diligence and activity of all per
sons engaged in the public service to find the negroes
who were clandestinely landed, to identify the par- i
ties engaged in the crime, and ascertain other impor

a good reason to hope they will be overcome, and
justice, according to the law of the land, executed

A Newspaper Editor.—A newspaer editor
must like the poet. be born of his calling, as,
in a majority of instances, no amount of train
ing will fit a pemon for the post, unless he have
a natural taste and aptitude for that descrip
tion of literary labor; for, although many ]»er
sons are able to write ‘‘leaders’' or ’’literary
articles'' for a newspaper, few can be intrusted
with its editorial control, few can scent the lib
el which lurks in almost every communication, (
few can distinguish the report intended to i
please the speaker instead of informing the na
tion, and the letters written to serve p-ivate
interests instead of public ends; still fewer
who can tell at a glance the kind ot literary or
political material which will promote the cir
culation of the journal—in fact, a good editor's
great difficulty is no what he shoud put in, but
what he should keep out of his columns.— i
Successful editors have not been great au
thors, but men of good common sense, aml
their good common sense has taught them to
write but little themselves, but to read, judge,
dictate, alter, and combine the writings of
others. Chambers Journal,
