FOREST TREES OF MASSACHUSETTS We learn
from the New England Farmer, that at late
Agricultural meeting at the State House, George
b. Emmerson of Boston, who was some years
ago appointed by the Governor and Coun-
Gil TO report upon the forest trees Of the Com
monweath, made some remarks upon this inter
esting and important subject.
Compared with the native trees Of old Eng
land, Massachusetts is rich in what her soil pro-
duces. We have given to the mother land more
than 500 varieties of trees and shrubs. Our tall
timber trees amount to So while those that are
mattress in old England number only 81 He
has no belief that l60, 900 acres of unimproved
lands in fact unimprovable. Some Of our
trees would grow on every soil. The most I'M
promising sands in France have been made to
grow the pine. There is no such being as ALSO
lutcly barren sands the rains and SHOWS will
deposite something favorable to the vegetable
growth wherever they fall. The pitch pine is
best suited TO the sandy plains. Our bare and
rocky hills would bear the larch. The Duke of
Athol has covered 10000 acres of such land
with such larch. Our wet marshes or meadows
are the most difficult TO operate upon, but these
will bear the white cedar, which may be intro
duced by simply sowing the seed As the for
ests are stripped away, the climate becomes dry
or. Our streams dry up as The woods-great re-
servoirs of water-are removed These woods
prevent the escape Of water by evaporation;
they soften the climate. They are conductors
of electricity from the clouds, and thus are con
trlbutors TO the fertility of the soil Over bare
country, the winds have nothing TO break their
force, and consequently sweep with violence.
A bare hill gives no protection, while one cover
ed with trees breaks the face of the wind By
their annual deposites Of leaves and wood for
decomposition, the forests contribute steadily to
the fertility of the SOIL As fuel our forests are
worth to the Commonwealth $4,000 annu-
ally.

much curiosity exists in England with re-

excite interest; and, as far as my information
goes, il may be relied upon, but II must be re-
membered that positive accuracy on so intricate
a subject is almost impossible In country like
that Of which write. Prince Esterhazy pos
sesses, in addition to his three palaces in Vienna,
and his dominions in Bohemia one-thirteenth

100 square English miles Of forest, make collec-
lively nearly 1000 square miles, and Hungary

The MAIDS OMAN.

The following capital song was sung at Harrisburg
he evening after the nomination OF john DAMS ~
he Harrisburg candidate for governor.
THE SHIP PENNSYLVANIA.
Am Old Rosin tho Boio.'
SNcK the Ship Pennsylvania has righted,
And rides DER the waves stih ana true,
We must hunt up gallant commander
To marshal the Harrison crew;
That The Locos have had her In keeping,
Her damaged condition will show
But the People will put her in order
With their gallant commander, we know;
Then Freemen display your fair banner,
In harmony close up your ranks,
And place at the helm Of your frigate
The friend Of the People, JOHN BANKS.
Since the Locos have had this fair vessel,
They've proved but poor sailors indeed
They have eaten up all the provisions,
And left none for seasons of need.
The barnacles stick 10 her bottom;
The mildew has rotted her sails;
Her malnmast Is sprung by the tempest
Her mainsaii is rent by the gales
But her tmbers are sound as cast iron,
For which we give Heaven our thanks
And she'll sail well as ever when guided
BY the Peoples commander JOHN BANKS.
When the Locss endeavored To sail her,
They sleered her through mist and through fog
They run against banks without number,
And never could show fair log
They forgot the good chart Constitution,
Their compass they overheard threw;
They mortgaged the ship and her cargo.
And turned of the best of the crew;
The rats fell to gnawing her tmbersi
The worms fell to boring her planks,
Her chain pumps were choked beyond working
So the People call out for JOHN BANKS
They've got commander, one Porter,
A Iubber, as you may be sure;
When this bunglcr was put in commission,
The frigate was tight and secure
" hen the tempest beat down on her quarters,
To break open stores was his plan
Cries Davy, She . going 10 pieces
Let every one save what he can T.
But the People they cried out to Davy,
"You renegade! leave off your FRANKS
Just hold by the mainstay one minute,
Well bring you relief with JOHN BANKs.'
He'll carry her into the haIbor,
And shelter her safe from the storm;
While her bold, gallant crew will careen her
In Economy's dry dock Reform:
New shipwrights hel put in commission;
Her tackle and stores he'll renew
And the skulkers will all get stringing
With the crack of ropes end or two.
Then Freenen, draw up in close order,
The pirates drive of from your TANKS
And rally for God and your country,
And the friend Of the People, JOHN BANKS
Now who q for sail in this frigate
With BANKS commander in-chief2
Let us join heart and hand at the halyards,
And give our poor comrades relief.
Huzza for the old pennsylvania
How gallant she n look when she sails
And she safe will return to her station,
In spite of political gales.
And when she rounds to in the harbor,
To the bottom her shain-cable clanks
In a full flowing bowl of hard cider,
Well drink the Commander JOHN BANKS.

We congratulate the public upon the passage,
yesterday, through Congress, of the bill 10 es-
tabllsh uniform system of bankruptcy in the
Y. ). In consequence of the inadverlent adop-
ton of an amendment moved by Mr. Clifford,
OF Me-, making the law disunifom, and there
fore unconstitutional, the bill had the day before
bee laid on the table, By majority OF 10. Yes
ment rejected, another amendment adopted,
fixing the first of February next as the day when
the law is to go into effect, and the bill passed
by a vote of Ill yeas and l06 nays. The
amendment was Immediately concured in by the
Senate, and the bill only wants the signature Of
the President which il will promptly receive, to
become a law.

NeM fork Correspondence.

NEw YonK, August II, 1871
The long expected VETO came along post
haste at 10 o'clock this morning, and up to this
time think not less than 1OO, 1000 copies of il
have been issued from our several printing
offices and greedily snatched up by the eager
multitude. The broker in his den, the merchant
at his desk the holman at his dinner, the cart
men between Jobs, all are reading the Veto,
Veto. There is one consolation, however-it is
short, so we can all read il without inerrupting
our business.
Its reception is about as expected. There
is considerable blasphemy in Wall street and
the other marts of business, and some chuckling
among the Loco-ioco, some Of whom are swear
ing that they will vote for Tyler for President
.at all events, while the leaders are warning
them against all premature committals and re-
minding them that Tyler has signed the bill to
repeal the Sub treasury. On the other hand,
some Wings are very obstreperousy taking large
oahs never TO vote for Virginian again. or

the agency Of the Government, how can il be
pretended that il is faculty "ritdr 10 the cor
poralion, without which il would be a lileless
skeleton
u II be said tlsaa il makes the Bank stronger
and more profitable and better able 10 discharge
ITS duties as fiscal agent, we in the first place
deny II, and affirm the contrary. We say that
this power Of . lending and dealing in money
leads the Bank off from the business Of dealing
IN exchanges, may come in conflict with il, may
be found more profitable and tempt the Bank 10
such lnordinate dealings in that way, as may
leave II less able TO operate, as the Government
may require it, in exchanges.
But, IN the next place, if il was so, il would
still violate the Constitution: for though il might
that would not be enough. II must be necessd-
fy to It's exlstencenot 10 its increase of profits.
In The language of the Constitution, il must be
Unnecessary and proper.n In the language of
the Supreme Court, il must be :" an essential
part of its charter, a "pitdi part Of The cor
poration," without which il would be "skeie-
TOM
The reasoning that would Justify the giving
this faculty to increase the power, strength and
profits of the Bank, would justify the giving
every other faculty that money making corpo-
ration might desire. Fit might ''deal in money
and loans" on this reasoning, so il might be al
lowed TO deal in cotton, and all the products of
the countryso in lands, foreign commerce, or
any other business by which larger profits might
be made.
We contend, therefore, that il is settled, de-
cided by the highest tribunal of the country, 10
which the friends of Bank are fond of APP
peang, that the known, undisputed and indis-
putable fact, that "loaning and dealing in mo-
ney" is not necessary to the life of a Bank
That il can live and thrive without il, puts ii
beyond the power of Congress and the Presi-
dent 10 give il such faculty and that no man
who believes that fact, can reconcile il with his
oath TO support the Constitution, 10 vote for such
o bill, or to sign il.
We shall hereafter endeavor to show why
this power is so coveted, and to what fearful
purposes il not only may be, but always has
been, and ever will be applied.
