DcSiI'eciirc IT..e.-On Tuesday nipiit last after
our paper had gone To Press, fire took place IN the
extensive steam Sugar R";incry Of Mr.. - l.. Tho
mas, situated ON lii.rn street and notwilhs, anding
the most prompt ana active cNcrtons ofthe fremen,
the building with all the manufacturing and refining
apparatus wa IN 4 few hours heap OF smoking ru
ms. The r 'hnrry was Very extensive, and the
steam machinery extremely valuable, it being the
invention OF the proprietor and perhaps the most
complete apparatus of the kind in this country.
The socil ofsngars, both refined and raw was very
large; and owing 10 the favorabllncss ofthe wealth
er Tor some tim" past, tho quantity of the former
on hand and ready for expectation had been much
creased. y portion OF that which was saved from
the flames, received more less damage from the
water and lasty handling. ...
We learn that insurance was effected on the pro-
pery in three offices IN This city, to the amount OF
$4,000 on The building and $40 900 on the stock,
making III the whole S40,O0O. The sum insured will
probably cover but little if any than half ofthc
total loss

MR. BERrRAND-The following remarks on fruit trees may not be unacceptable to some of your readers.
 Apple, Pear and auince trees, may be propagated y slips, either simply stuck in the ground, or, as some prefer, by planting them i the manner of grape cuttings Trees raised in this way bear the same kind of fruit, as the trees from which they have been cut. Either of these fruits may be had without core, or seed, by graft ing the top end of the graft instead of the lower end.
 Caterpillars, however numerous on a tree, may be promptly destroyed, by boring an auger hole rather more than half through the body of the tree, then fill the hole with sulphur finely powdered, a plug correspond entt to the size of the auger, must then be driven in as tight as possible and sawed Off even with the tree. In a few days the in- sects will be dead. X.Y Z.

the hearsay of any indisidual. Too n1lu.ch

the hearsav of any indipiduai. Too much scrutiny cannot be observed, on such oo- casions, even when matter of this descrip- tion gains admission under the sanction of responsible name. Although it is our birthright to speak and write freely, our sentiments of measures, and of those who bear rule men in office, being our ser wants, and as such, may properly be com mented on; yet that system of detraction, and bare faced scandal. which may, with out wide departure from truth, be called characteristic trait in the manners of many of our leading men, we sincerely de- precate, and even witness 1t with the great est adherence. Libel on private reputa- tien IS disgusting excrescence upon the body of political freedom, and has recently grown to an extent so dangerous to indi- yiduals, and so disgraceful to the press at large, that with some men 1t almost affords q plausible pretext for curtailing the liber- ty of that organ the pure, legal and un- trammeled exercise of which, Is the proud- est and surest guardian of our freedom. The present lax, unrestrained, and vicious exuberance Of the press, stamps our nation abroad, as the very focus of libel, contume- ly and obloquy, in all their notifications. No reputation, no character, public or pri- vate, neither the living nor the dead, can escape from its baleful influence and lieen- tiousness-
 Sustaining, Sir, as for short period, you will necessarily be obliged, the combined functions of the editorial department, and the cares and fatigues attendant on labor CT, your paper will not be expected to con- tain so great share of original matter, as might otherwise be furnished. It is presum- ed however, that the assistance you will re- cieye from literary gentlemen of this town and the vicinity, will render that depart ment highly respectable; and were 1t our fortune to occupy your station, we would respectfully invite the literati occasionally to enrich our columns with the productions of their leisure moments.
 We believe the Advocate Is intended to be as large as any paper published on the western waters; and in its mechanical character, it IS presffmed, will be second to none in the west. On this subject, how ever. few numbers will afford other than speculative evidence; and, although your years will entitle yen to the claim Of indul- gence, yet ardent solicitations for patro- mage cannot he unseemly.
 Feeling assured, that you will ask no- thing, which, from your individual exer- iion, you do not appear to Oish to MERIT, we believe that an indulgent public will be proud to see you honora bly sustained.

A FRuITFIII TREE

In my garden in this place, have an Ap- pie tree which produced three crops of fruit in the summer and fall of 1928, being the first of it's bearing. Tn April the tree was in full bloom; again in July, and in Septem- Der, 1t again put forth bloom. From each of these bloomings fruit was formed, the first two brought fruit of full size, the third crop did not attain size larger than a small plumb. The same tree bore two crops of apples the last year. M. c.

 Key Hest.-Com.

 An extraordinary phenomenon is now 10 be seen in this town. This is a person so emaclated, that his bones and muscles and tendons are to be seen thro' the skin.

We under- stand ile has been visited by Dr. War ren and other medical gentlemen, who have. pronounced him the most remark able specimen of walking anatomy which has ever been witnessed in this country.
 The Committee on Pensions, in the U. S. Senate, have reported against the expediency of ofgranting reliefto the wid- ow of the late Gen. James Wilkinson, upon the ground that it has never been the policy of the Government to adopt the system of granting pensions for mili- tary services merely.

 Miss Fanny Wright has purchased thirty slaves at New-Orleans; and has set them free, and chartered a vessel to take them to St. Domingo, for settle ment. This is a much better business that making public harangues about the country, and spreading her infdel cresd and licentious doctrines.

 To tue Senate of the United States,
 MARCH lst, 1890.
 Gentlemen: In compliance with your resolution of the 4th ultimo, relating to the boundary line between the United States and the Cherokee nation of h. dians, have duly examined the same, and find that the Executive has no pow CT to alter or correct it. l therefore re- turn the papers, with a report from the Secretary of War, on the subject, for the farther deliberation of Congress.
 ANDREW JACKSON.
 WAR DEPARTMENT, .Narch lst 1880.
 STR: The resolution of Alabama, re- ferred to you from the Senate, and by you to this Department, has been con sidered, in reference to the information which is in the possession of the Depart ment.
 It appears that this line, which by the provisions of the treaty, was to begin at Camp Coffee, and run due South, was run and marked by Gen. Coffee, Com missioner on the part of the U. States, in January, ISI7. The State of Ala Abafrna HOW alleges that the iiue is not, as it should be, due South; but inclines too much to the West-by which a portion of her territory is embraced within the Indian country.
 The Executive cannot correct this error. The line which is alleged to be incorrectly run, was, under the authori- ty of the United States, declared to be the line, before the State of Alabama became member of the Union. She was admitted in reference to the boua- dary which had been made and agreed 1 on, during her territorial administration. How far policy or propriety may sane tion the change of line recognized as correct for thirteen years, is matter which refers itself entirely to the discre- tion of Congress.
 ] return to Fou the papers received, with the report of General Coffee, in l2l7, the field notes, and a plot of the surveys irsas lis.
 Very respectfully,

 Asssan Dtstsu6msces. The people of Shelby county have been put in consid- cradle eotninotion by the dread of ill- dian hostilities. One man has been most cruelty beaten: the Agent of the U. 5. has been bound and carried off; the publicproperty has been seized and a part el 1t consumed; the Indians assem- ble and are armed, and do not give any satisfaction to the whites as to their de- signs. These are the most prominent features in the aspect of affairs in the nation. A whole regiment Of the whites has been called out. but there being no immediate use for so large force, most of them have betaken themselves to their homes. Great alarm pervades the people of the frontier. There is a great scarcity of arms. We understand that in a regiment of eight hundred men, there were but two hundred guns. One hundred and twenty-five muskets, Nc. have been applied for and obtained from the state arsenal at this place, by Col. Lawler, of Shelby county. Not withstanding this warlike preparation, we do not anticipate much danger or bloodshed. It it well, however, to pre- pare for war in time of peace; and such precautionary steps as have been taken, if not indispensable, are not eensura- ble. Intel.

S2, which provides for the ratihca- ton ofclalms due to certain American citizens for spoliations committed on their commerce, by the French Goyern- ment, prior to 1900. Itproposest to make satisfaction, to the amount of fi0e millions of dolIars, to such citizens of the u. 5. or their legal representatives, as had val id claims to indemnity upon the trench Government arising out ofillegal cap lures, seizures, confiscations, &c. com mltted before the Both September, lSO0; but expressly excludes all claims de- scribed iii the Convention at Paris, ill 1903, between the U. S. and the First Consul ofthe French Republic, and all claims described i'll the Florida treaty between Spain and the U. S. To car ry the above provision into effect, and to ascertain the amountand validity of said claims, 1t is intended to appoint a Board ot three Commissioners, whose organiza- ton will be similar to that under the Florida Treaty with Spain in 1919. The payment of the claims when admit ted and adjusted by the Board, shall be made pro rata, in such manner as the President shall prescribe.
 This bill, five rememberright, is pre- cisely the same with that reported last year by MT. Chambers, except that the amount of satisfaction was then fixed at S2,0OO,OOO instead of S5,OOO,0OO.
