short distance of the shore, where the off,
kers we're upon the point of landing when
kudden gale obliged them to seek an offing,
| nd these vessels arriving at different inter-
I ais at various ports, and all bringing the
anne intelligence without an opportunity to
confer with each other previously, should
AVE been thus deceived. As intelligent
! nd efficient officers were on board of those
essels as any navy can produce, and if their
testimony is to be set aside, who will believe
Capt. Ross report, or in fact anything which
fr proof depends upon human testimony
Capt. Bissell's informant must we think have
abored under some error as to that part of
bis intelligence, which later and more def
bite accounts will enable us to correct. 1t
will be noticed that the latitude and longi-
lude in which land was seen by Capt. Ross,
far distant from that given by Capt. Wilkes,
Ihough doubtless the land seen by him is but
portion of the great Antarctic Continent.

TRANSMITTING TREEs.

Many trees are lost by setting them too
deep in their new bed. There is natural
anxiety to do all that can be done 10 make
young fruit or ornamental tree live and
llaur,sh. By this anxiety many people are
influenced 10 place the roots deep, and 10
make hollow or cup Of earth around the
trunk, thinking thus to give the roots great
er protection aud abuudan: moisture. Per
heps the particular objects they have in view
are thus accomplished. Bu, they, by this
course, place the roots where they are too
cold and cannot perform Their proper Offices.
The most experienced nursery men IN this
vicinity inform Us that the lateral or horI
zontaI roots should be placed abou, ON lev
eli with the surface of the ground and that
the other roots should b. allowed 10 take
the same relative position 10 the ground that
they occupied before the trees was taken
up. After the tree has been property pac
ed, earth up over the tools, letting the
ground slope from tue trunk. 1t Isa good
course TO dig deep and large hole, and 10
Gil it up replacing the earth, aud putting 10
other earth more fertile. S,naIl stones 10
the bottom Of the holes, have been found
emioently serVieeable TO the growth and
health Of trees. Orchards have nourished

But as there are many others who labour
earnestly and fail for want Of experience,
may confer a particular favour upon such,
by giving them the result Of my experience
Ny plan has been not only TO make sure a
crop Of Turnlps; but to make the lot Of
ground rich. For these two objects, in Ju
ly fence IN the lot for the succeeding
year; say one acre for every | 0 cows TO be
penned. Cover the lot with litter. 10 the
