TREATISE ON THE CULTURE OJMfiTK. t Bv (iii)i:o.v R. Smith. Description of the Multicuulis.--- The moius m ilticaulis is a divari tree, or more properly a Jar,;e shnib, with ntfin 'i stalks, as its specific name implies, growing like the hazel, lilac Arc. It is continually sanding up young shoots fi-om the croyn of the root, and when these become mi rnerous, ami the tree G or 8 years old. some of the eldest stalks die ons; but whether from natural decay or being perished by their vigorous young brethren, lam unable to say. My old tree has been as high as fifteen feet, 0 or 7 feet of which tvas young wood ; hut as I generally cm oT most of the young wood for propagation it Ins never exceeded that height. The leaves when fail frown on the rigorous wood are 12 to Id in length •sind If) to 13 inches wide. The rapidity of their growth causes the ribs to grow much (aster than the it'cb o! the lent, and lienee the hyge leaves, arc ■»hv»ys conrcinc, so that they cannot be spread nut Jlit witheut tearing them from the edges to the mid rib.

During ten years that I have been a close aud daily observer of the morus uiuiticaulis particu larly, I never saw au insect of any kind upon it. The common caterpillar seems to be qumiverous •—with the exception of the mulberry only—it never attacks that. The elm a few years ago w«s considered exempt; but it also i-j now annually strippe I of its foliage by insects ; aud the linden also suffers more or less, but the mulberry re mains untouched. Even the grasshoppers ts the present year, 1833, more destructive than they were ever before knowu to be, pass by the mul berry, seemingly in ackuowedgment of the great ia.v-» ot nature which devote it as food for the silk worm exclusively. On the other hand there is no other veritable that 1 was ever able to make the silk worm eat as tood. I have starved theui it is true, till they would eat lettuce; and ulti mately til) they w ould nibble at oak leaves; but they eat them uti l ahothet .substitutes,ushumau beings in it siafe ot starvation, eat old shoe leather, not as their proper food, but in the hope of sustaiuiug tin uie a few moments longer. The Osage or ange, Miciuru, is an exception. They eat that freely ; but it is « j like a mulberry in all its char acter,, t ii.t it required considerable ingenuity in the naturalists to call it by another name. Having given my preference for the nutlticau !,s, ov<*r a!i other kinds, and my reasons lor it, it will not be expected of tue to say any thin* of other kinds; lor, if the reader puts confidence in xvi*at is here written, he will adopt the multi eaßlis without inquiring about other kinds ; and if he Joes not tb :c confide in my statements, any thing i i-nui-J say about other kiuiis would be of uo avail. ibv mode : f cultivatingtljc runlticaulis, is the tis st. ect s■-r r oueideration. The simplest and iiicsf c .tiiiiiou jdnn is as follows. Prepare the ground in tho spring as for corn. Run furrows lour or five teet apart, as preparatory to plauting corn. Then take the limbs and young wood that grew last year, cut of close to the tree, and lay them lengthwise in the farrow ; the butt end of the limb a short distance, a foot or so, from the lop ot tlie last laid down; cover the whole limb citu a hoc, about one or tivo inches deep; generally, every bud on each limb will grow, ami make a tree 3to 5 feet high by autumn. The ground should be kept from grass and weeds, by cultivation as in corn. About the last of July, it is best to take a sharp spade and seperate the Vf >»u ' trees, by driving it down midway between them, hut tins is not essential ; they can be sepa rated when taken up tho spring following. The next spring they should be taken up arid planted in regular form in the orchard,where they are per manently to remain. The best method is o plant them G orSfeet apa;t in the row s, and the rows 10 to 15 feet apart the rows running north and south, or north-west and.south-east. By this mode of eul ti' ition, it will bo perceived that eight or ten tunes as many uiuiticaulis trees tnay be raised on :.;1 acre of ground, as of corn hills-, and that as the •u--pi. ready for the market, (when they are rais ed to sell) as early as a crop of corn, there is no r.-asou lor the extravagant prices demanded for them. They would be a very profitable crop at live cents a tree. There are other mode* of cultivation which it may be well to describe here. Where cuttings arc scarce, and the loss of any ofthem is of much consideration, a hqj-bed should be made in the usual way, and the cuttings started in itas follows: Cut all the limbs and young wood into short pie ces, with one hud on each; lay them flat on the surface ot the hot bed in lines lengthwise, the buds of the cuttings n quarter of an inch apart, ■uni the lines of cuttings two inches apart, with the bad uppermost. Then sift rich garden mould over them, half an inch deep, and put the glass frames on the beds. Every night and morning, wafer them with a watering pot, merely enough to k: «q. the earth moist. They should be planted in the hot bed one month before the usual dis appearance of frost. In and around Baltimore, about the Ist ol April is the time, ns frost usual ly disappears altogether, about the Ist to the 10th ot May. By the time the frost disappears, the young plants will be about the size of cabbage plants, and may be taken out of the bed and plan ted in the orchard where they are permanently to grow. During the time they are in hot beds, care should be taken in warm days to give them air, by raising the glass frames; and if severe frosts occur to cover theglasses with straw, or matting ; and w hen set out in the field they should be well watered for a few days in the evening, 'i lie practice of propagating as above from single buds was first adopted by me, and followed for many years to very great advantage : and lam not sure but that is still the best, as it often oc curs that a cold backward spring rots a great por tion of the cuttings planted in cold ground as first recommended above. Besides, in the hot bed system, the trees get a month the start and make larger and finer trees. But in very extensive plan tations it is “too troublesome.” A convenient hot bed may be formed bv those who are not provided with frames, fee., an i are not acquainted with for cing gardens, as follows : Dig a (fit two feet deep, four-feet wide, and ten to twenty feet long, or as long as you please, if yon have manure enough* Fill it with fresh horse dung six inches to a foot above the top. When yon perceive it getting hot and settling down, cover it with six inches of rich garden mould, and rake it level and smooth. Let it remain for two or three days until the heat begins to decline, and then put in the cuttings as above. At night, when cold, lay some light brush over the bed, aud spread straw or mats overthom, and water them ar in the regular hot bed. This method will generally be found to answer all the purposes of a perfect hot bed. Another method is by layers. Instead of cut ting ofi the limbs and tops, bend the whole tree down to the ground, and cover it, limbs and all, two or three inches deep, with good mould—it would be well to <urn dp the ends of the limbs, so that the points are just above ground. All the bvids on the whole free, that are under ground, will generally grow and each one make a tree bv the atitnmn, when they are to be taken up and separated. Th objection to this plan is, that the young trees are apt to be too crowded, and consequcn’ly do not grow as large as when the limbs and young wood are cnl ofi - , us in tho first mode; and Ido not find that it is any more cer tain, or possesses any one advantage over that mode. All other modes of propagation, grafting, Arc., are perfectly useless, and therefore nothing need be said sbon* them. B seems, however, proper to remark, in expla nation of the'omission to give the mode of raising the nmlticauiis from seed, that this tree produces seed very scantily. Probably an acre of trees o! growth would not produce an ounce of rood seed. It is generally the case with all plants that m-e lEgd’Jy propagated by other m?aw*. that they ' TIIE GEORGIA MIRROR. do not produce much, if any seed. But though 'be muhicaulis were to produce seed as abund antly as the white or anv other variety, its pro pagation by cuttings would still be the most eli jjihif* mode. The mulberry seed lies a longtime ? tbe ground before it vegetates, generally 5 to 8 weeks, and in the mean time the weeds get the start, and smother the young plants as fast as a> |»«jr appear unless the most untiring vigilance 1 and care be observed iu keeping tbe beds clean, i Even then, in spite of care and industry, manv - j a great propoition—of the little plants will be (Jesnoyod in the process o! weeding. It veil fter i you have raised the plants above the influence of weeds, they are tardy of growth, and do not pro- j duce leaves of full size till they have been repro- j pogated by cuttings, layers, «Ac. for three or tour 1 years. All idea ol raising them from seed will ! be abandoned by every one as soon as they be come acquainted with the facility with which they are propagated by cuttings, the scantiness,of seed poduced by them, and the difficulty of raising them from seed. 1 cannot omit the present opportunity of again cautioning the people of this country against the impositions that have been lor -everal years prac ticed, and are yet continued, of selliugr morns multirauus send. No such seed ever ha- or pro bably ever will be for sale here or elsewhere ; and those who pretended to sell it are imposing upon toe public a worthless article. The tree does not bear seed enough to pay for the trouble of saving it. even il it sold lor its weight in gold. That the seed,will produce the genuine muhicaulis, I have no doubt, but it will require some years of suc cessive propagation by cuttings to develop its peculiar characters, large leaves, &c. But this question is a matter of little moment, as no per son will resort to seed when they can obtain cut tings. The soil situation, best adopted to the moms uiuiticaulis, have already been mentioned in a previous part of this paper. The sail should be such as will yield a fair crop of corn ; if made richer, the trees will grow larger but the advantage will not compensate the extra expense. It should be sandy land, if possible ; butgiaveliy or stony soil answers well; heavy ciav soils do not do so well. The situation must be high land— that is, it must not be low bottom land.— Hill hides are best; the tops of hills next; level hinds are good, provided they -ate ei ;ht or ten ieet above the streams of water, and not subject *o water standing on them after heavy rains; but ii they are surrounded by hills they wijl not do, being more subject to early and late frosts than if not thus surrounded by hills. It must be borne iu ( mind, that we are discussing the siYjact of soils and situation : best adapted far the permanent occupation of the uiuiticaulis. Where the trees are raised to sell, «r to be romored in autuin, then ricn alluvial or loamy bottom land is best. The trees will grow larger there; and as there is to he no risk o( winter killing, there is no other ob jection. In cold seasons, however, aud especial ly in cold late springs, bottom lands are- too cold lor them, and consequently the trees will be small. Iu all cases when they are grown on bot tom lands, they should be taken up in the month of November, and buried root and branch on some high dry situation; covering them about one loot deep. This will preserve them effect ually till spring, when they should be planted out. ns above directed, in a proper soil and situation. ( listings are peserved in the same way ; cut them off close to the tree in November, dig a pit two feet deep in a high situation, ptit them into it. mingling earth among them, and finally rover them up a foot deep at least; filling the’pit en tirely, and arching it as in burying potatoes, Ac. Those who fear the loss of the cuttings if left re timing on the trees, can certainly save in this way; but if trees are in proper situations there is mi danger of the eatings being killed ; unles* indeed from late planting in the spring, or some other cause, the wood of the cuttings has not been pro perly ripened. In that case, all the unripe wood will of course be killed by winter if left on the tree, and it will be proper to take the cuttings off and bury them as above. From the Correspondence of the Nat.

The hurricane commenced in Liverpool on Sun day night, January 6, and raged all that night and on Monday, wfili violent winds on Tuesday and Wednesday, doing Incalculable damage to the shipping in’Liverpool and tlie neighborhood, and destroying a good many lives in (lie city, in the overthrowing ofbuildings, chimneys, Ac* Ac. Ihe packet ship Pennsylvanian is .. complete wreck Captain Smith, second mate, seven of the crew and——of the passengers having lost their lives. The Sf. Andrew’s is also a wreck, hut all were saved. These two ships were im mensely rich in dry goods cargoes, outward bound, and tlie loss of property is thus very great. I he Oxford, the other packet ship, had just ar rived in Liverpool, and, though her cargo was valuable, it was not so valuable as those of the outward bound ships. The passengers lost in the Pennsvlvanian are .T. T. Barrow, Air- Parsons, Mr. Douglass, of New York, and Mr. .Suitor, of Carfhngena. H. G. Thompson, of New York was saved by alife preserver. An emigrant ship, the Lockwoods, Captain Spraule. for New York, with 108 souls on board, has suffered fearfully. About 30 persons ail dead, have been found in the poop of the Lock woods, and several were drowned in th* cabin. The extent of the havoc committed among the shipping was not ascertained when the Cam bridge, which brings us this news sailed. The greatest apprehensions were felt, as to vessels off the coast. Public meetings had been held in Liverpool to alleviate the suffering and distress ; and every effort was making by the means of steam vessels to aid snips in distress. The Great Western was not u sail till Janua ry 23. Madame Vestris has been received in London with the greatest enthusiasm. L. E. L (.Miss Latidou) is dead.

We have already published one of his letters to the New-York Courier and Enquirer, we extract the following: It has been shown, tint the extent of the mail routes was less iu 1838 than in 1837 ; that trans portation of these routes was much less in 1338 than in 1837. as estimated by Mr. Kendall; that in 1837 there was a nett surplus revenue the expenditures of the deoartment of about 000,0 0 dollars; and that actual revenue was increased more than $160,000.

How this runious state of things has been so suddenly brought about, remains for tlie Post Master Ge neral to explain. But ii asked by a Committee of Congress i presume they will be referred to his “short hand” books. When I began this letter, it was my intention to have presented several other interesting itrms, but I fear to overload it with figures. I will there fore only refer to one other important fact. The Post Master General in his report of 18.38, says, The accruing expenditures for the year, en ding 30th June, 1837, were about 83.303,428 The engagements and liabilities of tlie de partment for the year, ending 30th June, 1838, were 84,680,008 Being an increase of expenditures in 1838 beyond 1837, of 81.379,640 1 close for the present with the astounding fact, which the proceeding statements establish, that the extent ot’rhe post routes in the United States was reduced six thousand four hundred and twen ty-four miles in the year 1838, below what it was ii» 1837. and that the expenses of the department were increased during the same period, one mil lion three hundred and seventy six thousand six hundred and forty dollars.

Both these officers it will be remarked, thus act in theservice of the State in subordinate positions to their military rank ; Gen.
