No THE PURLIC.

With view to ascertain how far the people
ofBaltimore are disposed to sustain paper which
is independent of Catholic control, have, to-day,
re-published several articles, explanatory Of the
controversy between Bishop England and myself,
with purpose of distributing copies among
those who are believed to desire the permanent
establishment of such paper; hoping that their
attention being thus called to the SUBJECT they
will feel the necessity of subscribing themselves
and using their influence to induce others also to
subscribe.
do this, because many persons have en-
couraged me to believe that public sentiment in
this city is prepared to rally in behalf of such
paper, that am confident all that is wanting to
secure an adequate patronage, is very slight
effort on the part of those who have a common
feeling on the subject.
If the Protestant community of Baltimore come
forward, their example will be followed up by
the public elsewhere, and the usefulness of the
paper will be increased, in the proportion of its
increased circulation.
As yet, there many looking on, awaiting
the result, who would rejoice in eur success, but
hesitate to identify themselves with the move
ment, for fear of its failure. The timid should
be encouraged, and the lukewsrm aroused to the
Importance of the issue which is thus created.
When penned nay first comment on Bishop Eng
lands letter, 1 had not the most remote idea of
the extent of the plans, the organization, the re-
sources, or the dangers to be encountered. The
examination of the subject has filled me with APP
prehension, and nothing but sense ofduty would
induce me to throw myself into the controversy.
l am prepared, however, to do my duty, if l am
sustained by these who have no less interest in
it than myself; and with that view invite all
who are willing to aid me, to do what they can
towards it. Respectfully,
DUFF GREEN.

COTTON WOOD FOR HEDGES.

COTTON WOOD FOR HEDGES.
BLOOMFIELD, July 18th, IS4I.
have noticed several articles in the
Agriculturist on the subject Of planting and
fencing hedges, and among the various
kinds used, that Of cotton wood was no
tced. would just remark that | have
been making some experiments with this
article which may not be altogether unin-
teresting to the readers Of your paper. |
commenced one year ago; about the first
Of April cut scions from trees that were
four or five years old, about eight inches
long, and set them in the ground, to the
depth of 5 or inches, and about inches
apart in a straight line. There were ma
ny that grew last year to the height of
feet, but this was not uniformly the case,
which presume was owing chiefly TO the
scions not all being we'll set. Undoubted-
ly there were other causes which contribu-
ted in occasioning difference in the growth;
such for instance as some places being
more moist than others, also some OF the
scions being older than others, or beng
cut off nearer to the trunk Of the tree. But
my researches have not been minute enough
to determine which is most liable to fall
planted some again this last spring, but
considerably later, the leaves had grown to
the size of q dollar on many. discover
there are some yet living, but think the
latter was too late and the former too ear
ly. My plan for planting in this order
was this, when the scions grow to height
sufficient, to weave them together like lat
tice work am not able to determine how
long it will take for fence of this sort to
possess sufficient strength and become suf-
fcienty condensed TO turn stock, but |
would imagine, from the observations |
have made with regard to the growth of
this kind OF timber, it will not require more
than A or 5 years. Our prairie country
certainly invites experiments Of this kind
and when once it is found to be practicable
and the certainty Of it generally known, it
will not be many years till Illinois will be-
come densely populated state. You can
use this letter as you may see fit, should
you give it place in your paper you will
please rectify errors, as am not in tho ha-
hit Of writing for the press.
