TRANSPLANTING SHADE TREES.
As this is the proper season for transplanting
shade trees, the following article will repay a
perusal:
There could scarcely be a more simple and
endearing picture of home comfort than that
expression so often quoted, of sitting in the
shade of one’s own vine and tig tree. It indi
cates the luxury of a cool retreat under green
leaves from the ardent rays of the summer sun,
aud implies at tho sarno time the further pros
pect in tire autumn season, of wine from the
vintage and fruit from tho gathering. But al
though these luxuries are easily attainable, for
we possess the soil and climate to produce the
vino—and in sheltered spots tho fig—to perfec
tion, yet we but too rarely consult our best inter
ests by making due provision for their cultiva
tion. It is not, however, upon these particular
fruits that wo propose to dwell upon this occa
sion : but upon what we regard as equally a de
sideratum, and. in respect to tho picturesque
beauty of the homestead, of even more impor
tance than either the vine, the fig, or any other
fruit tree —we allude, of course, to shade trees.
In the first place, no house in the country can be
considered completely a part and parcel of the
scenery amid which it stands, until it is embow
ered in foliage. Take, for instance, a house ex
posed openly to view on the crest of a hill, or
standing isolated from all support in the midst
of plain meadow lands —nothing can possibly be
uglier than theappearaneo of such a dwelling so
situated—nothing more bleak-looking, cheerless
and desolate. There is uo comfort in such a
house. The sun's rays bear upou it until it be
comes as hot as an oven, and the winter winds
rock it and penetrate through it into every nook
and cranny until, were it not for blazing fires
and double the amount of fuel which is required
for houses cosily sheltered by trees aud shrub
bery, the cold would bo unbearable. Now,
gather around the houso on tho hill a close belt
of trees and shrubbery on its north and north
eastern exposure, keep the view well open on
the south, but breaking the plain surface here
and there with artistically disposed groupings of
trees and shrubs, and you have shade for your
house in summer, aud shelter for your house in
winter, and beauty at all seasons.
Now, in choosing shade trees, those only, as
a general ride, should be selected, which have
the property of transplanting easily. Four of
our native trees may always be depended upon,
for they will almost always thrive, even under
such rough usage as would destroy trees less
hardy. These four are the maple, the elder, the
willow, and the locust. But, after all, the best
thing to do, is not to trust to the transplanting of
trees from woods and hedge rows, but to select
such as have been raised in a nursery, and
whose young roots, by frequent removals or by
constant trimming, have thrown out an abun
dance of fibres. If, however, circumstances
render t desirable to have trees from the woods,
with time and patience the transplanting of these
can be safely and certainly effected —though in
the course of the next ten years, the small tree
from the nursery, an inch and a half in diameter,
will outstrip in height aud beauty the tree
which, when taken from the woods, was six in
ches in diameter. But if trees are to taken
from the woods, here is the best method of
doing it: Around the tree, at the distance of
four feet from the trunk, dig a circular trench
two feet deep, cutting and removing all the in
terposing roots. Replace the earth, and in a
short time a multitude of new fibres will be
thrown out into the loosened soil. The
ing year the tree may be transplanted to any
situation where it may be required. Another
method is to dig a circular trench four seer from
the body of the tree and three feet deep, cut
ting the earth well away from under the bottom,
until the whole mass rests upon a pivot. This
should be done either early or late in winter.
Let the mass of earth stand until it is well fro
zen through, and then transplant the tree, with
the frozen ball attached, wherever it is designed
that it shall grow in future. But, after all,
there will be more satisfaction derived, in the
long run, from trees drawn from the nursery,
than from trees of a much larger size derived
from the woods. A skillful planter, of course,
can make almost any tree grow; but there are
very few farmers or country gentlemen who
claim to have much knowledge with regard to
the transplanting of trees, or we should have
fewer occasions to complain of the bleak appear
n sowas&st vko and bireside.
ance of our country cottages and farm houses,
and the evidences of a want of taste in their
surroundings. In planting shade trees, even
i those which are taken from a nursery, and
therefore young, thrifty, and well rooted, it is
not sufficient to merely ‘‘dig a hole, thrust in the
tree, and leave the rest to nature.” The better a
tree is treated in the beginning, the more cer
tainly it will repay the obligation. Dig every
hole three feet wide two feet deep; let the
soil with which it is to be filled, be rich and
finely pulverized. Do not plant the tree any
deeper than it stood in the nursery: stake it se
curely when it is planted, and to preserve it
against drought, cover it with coarse manure
and refuse straw as a mulching,

AUGUSTA MARKET, DEC. 24.
COTTON.—The advices by the steamship Asia, from
Liverpool, (with dates to the loth inst.) reaehed our city
on yesterday, by telegraph. On New Orleans and Mo
bile cotton, a deelino of t*d, was announced on the busi
ness of the week, and on Upland Cottons 1-16 d decline j
was stated. This news had no effect on this market, al
though buyers demanded a concession on previons rates,
which sellers refused to grant. The market closes quiet,
and in favor of buyers, at about the annexed range of !
prices:

Middlings 10 to 10, \
Strict to Good Middlings 10)£ to 10? i
Middling Fair I0?i
Fair to Choice nominal.
In the New York dry g toda market report of the 16th inst., [
(Journal of Commerce,) standard brown sheetings art quoted j
at BJ4@3)£, and shirtings are reported Brnr at "14&T14 cents, j
lu other markets we notice firmness in the trade, and thesc
c rants from the manufacturing districts of England are also 1
favorable. These facts are in the face of very large receipts '
and afford conclusive evidence that the demand for cotton has !
kept fully up t > its increased production. We have seen no
reason to change our esi imate of the extent of the present cot., j
ton crop—that of 4,250,000 bales—although we notice that
lower as well as higher estimates have been made.
Neill, Erothersi Company, in their cottcn circular dated
at New York, on the 13th inst ant, sa s:
CROP.—We have only to confirm the opinion we expressed
on this subject in cur last, viz.: that the crop will reach at
least 4,300.000 hales. This is, perhaps. 50 to 100,000 hales above
the most generally received estimate, fur most persons find It
very difficult to btlieve in so great an excess upon the large
crop of the previous year. We admit that an excess of 4XV 0 )
hales on that crop, and of nearly 1.210,000 bales on the priced,
ing one. Is Imrrt to believe in. Nothing hut very strong <vt
dmcc would have convinced ourselves of It; but that evi
dence has come from such a variety of sources, that we find It
impossible to discredit it. particularly as it Is alrtady so abund
antly confirmed hy the course ot receipts. From the Mississip
pi alone New Orleans lias received in about three months, an ex
cess of 150.000 bales. It is not extravagant to suppose that from
all rivers, theencuii.g nine months, will give an tquil In.
rease, m iking, say, three hun Ire-1 thousand excess at that
point aloce. Mobile has already given an excess of seventy
five thousand hales, and, we will suppose. Is Lotto increase
further. Texa* lias given twenty thousand excess, and Is es
timate ito give, at leas', forty thousand in all. By the inland
route from Memphis, Ac , an excess of fifty thousand is ex
pected. We will tike it at thirty-five thousand. The At
lantic Mates, i nd F lorida, despite a lute beginning, have, ah
ready, rather exceeded last y,ar to same date, and are now
rapiily mining upon it. But we will suppose no final excess
there. The following gives the present exes by telegiaph,
and what set ms a fair estimate for the end of ti e season :
Excess at N.O. (now) 153,000 bales; estimate final 30t',n00 bales.

If these cs' jinnies are impugned, we should be glad to have
it pointed oat which of them is too large. We cannot See our
way to a reduction of any, while aorne of the figures, would
readily hear Increasing. We may, then, safely cougrat ulate
our manufacturing friends on the prospect of :.n abundant sup
ply of cotton for the present season—a supply fully adequate
to the increasing wants of the woiid. At the same time it
must be considered that the maximum producing power of the
present s ave populatinu ha] been attained, while consump
tion Is every where stimulated to the utmost, and constantly
extending.
There can be uo doubt, we think, that the cotton crop of
1839, will b- the largest that wt 1 be made for some years to
come : aud that while the production will not increase, the
demand :or the raw material will te greater than can be sur
plied, unless prices advance to a point where consumption wl 1
be check-sd. This view at least, affords confidence to future
operations In cotton, and we believe will t>e realized.

Dear Sir: Rhodes' Sui>or-phosphate has been applied
by me this year, on a small scale, to both Corn and Cot
ton. The result exceeded my expectation, althougu
the experiments, for many reasons, were not, and could
not be eondneted with due caution ; yet I am entirely
satisfied that the growth of weed, in both instmees. and
the fruit in corn and in the number of bolls of Cot
ton, were fully double the yield in the portions unma
nured, and this when only a tablespoonful of the Super-
Phosphate was applied as a top-dressing to each hill of
Corn, and a tea-spoonful to cacn stalk of Cotton—and the
last as late in the season as the 18th of July. Some of
the Weed grew to nine feet high, with six feet branches,
covered with bolls, while the nnmanured was not half so
good. It is my intention next year to test it more fully.
Very respectfully,

“I like the result of my experiment with ‘Hoyt,’ and
my trial acres have attracted much attention. The Com
has been gathered, and the ratio of manured to unma
nured, is as 25 to 11, or 100 to 44. In a favorable season,
it would have been greater. Up to date, the Cotton stands
as 518 to 127. bsing rather over 4to 1. When the Cot
ton is all in, I think it will be about 700 to 200.
Respectfully, Yours,
A. L. Alexander.

NOTICE TO FARMERS & PLANTERS.
THERE is great demand for a strong and permanent
“ Fertilizer,” and experience of late years has prov
en the inefficiency of ini[>ortcd manures for securing
crops and renovating soils. To meet the wants of the
times, and give to exhausted lands of the Atlantic and
Gulf countries, a superior fertilizer at moderate cosL
we have pleasure in calling attention to the valuable
compound made at the Highlands, New Jersey, and en
titled the “ NATIONAL FERTILIZER. ’ suited to
staples of every section.
It is composed of fresh bones, finely ground, and thor
ougly dissolved by Sulphuric Acid, thus affording food in
ready form for assimilation to plant. With these as con
stituting the basis for Phosphate of Lime, are then also
commingled large pro[>ortlons of Marine Fish, King
Crabs, and other Crustacea, yielding the properties Am
monia—as deposited by birds of the Guano Islands. To
S revent escape of this volatile element a modicum of
rcen Shell Marl is used. By virtue of this the ammonia
resulting from decomposed fish, is at once fixed and laid
dormant, till by natural process it is set free, and grad
ually absorbed by vegetation as it progresses. With
three important essentials, Potash and Soda, as combined
with soluble Silica, are chemically manipulated, and the
entire mass is ultimately made fine, dry, and immediate
ly applicable to soil. The “ National Fertilizer,” as
shown in Circulars, is so compounded by change of these
and other valued Ingredients, as to be suited in diversi
ties to any particular staple of the United States. The
Company's Works and Fisheries are very extensive, and
though their enterprise is but recently started, they have
a large and growing trade. They manufacture one Fer
tilizer for the Cereal Grains, Cotton, Vegetables. Sic., and
another siieeifically for Tobacco, and another for Sugar
Cane ; thus giving to plants those aliments peculiarly
adapted to them, and which, by rotation of crops, they
are known to extract constantly from the land. Analy
ses and certificates establish the results of this manure.
It is 30 per cent less cost per ton than Peruvian Guano,
but requires heavier application as a sure and lasting ren
ovator. The National Fertilizer fulfils the two-fold ob
ject of being stimuiunt to growth, and invigorator to
soil.
Mode of use: broadeast sowing—drilling—or deposit
ing in hills. It possesses but half the moisture of Guano,
and suffers less deterioration by carriage.
Price S4O per Ton. of 2000 lbs, but up in strong bags
of 200 pounds each, or in new barrels, all stamped with
Company's brand, and shipped to any order in the United
States. Agents established in all the cities. A fair trial,
with discreet and liberal attention, is solicited.

IMPORTANT TO PLANTERS.
THE RICHMOND FACTORY', Richmond county,
Ga.. continues to manufacture WOOLEN CLOTH
ut 12)j| cents per yardfor plain, and 16 for twills—finding
every material except the wool. The extensive and
constantly increasing patronage tho Factory has enjoyed
for past years, assures the proprietors that the article of
Winter Clothing for negroes, made by them, has not been
surpassed by any cloth made North or SoutlL
Recent extensive improvements, and others now being
erected, enable us to keep up the standard of the Goods,
and to secure an early delivery.
Planters, or others, who may wish to send ns wool to
be made into cloth, can send it dirty or clean. If washed,
it should be done In cold water, and done thoroughly. If
sent dirty, we charge half cent per yard extra for wash
ing. Burry W 00l la not objectionable; the burs are re
moved by machinery. The name of the owner should be
marked upon every package sent.
Wool sent by railroads in Georgia, Alabama, Tennes
see, or South Carolina, to the Augusta depot, with the
owner s name, and “ Richmond Factory ” marked upon
it, will be regularly and promptly received, and the cloth,
when made, returned to the [mints directed. Each par
cel is made up in the turn received.
We would especially urge upon our patrons the great
necessity of sending in the wool as soon as clipped; if
this rule is followed, the parties would always be sure of
having the cloth in ample time.
