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, r. ''■ rii;a>ii(iTMO— COMMERCIAL. 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: Inferior to Good Ordinary, stained S to 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. ..Mobile .. 75.000 7\ooo .. .. Texas .. 20,000 40,000 .. .. .. Overlai d.. not published .. .. 35.000 .. ..

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.

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.
