Mr.. A. H. Ernst, in a communication 10 the

'.The ext object which attracted my attention

years since, they were unable TO any Fruit,
from the ravages of that destructive insect, the
Curculto, until they advised, and resorted
10 saturatng ths ground, for some distance a.

10 the world, where the Plum tree fl 1urishes bet

A Candid Confession.

The Editor of the Columbus (Geo.) Inquirer
who has been heretofore Free Trade 'Theo-
rist, thus canddly abandons his false position and
exposes its folly:
For ourselves we are not ashamed to confess
that we have fairly come over to Mr. Ciay's doc
trines exposed in his very clear and eloquent
speeches in the Senate of the United States
We used to be tolerably ho-headed uuiilfier IN
our bOylsh days, when our heads were turned in,
side out by the glitering bauble of an impracti.
cable free trade system, which we were fool e.
nough to think within the range Of possibilities
It is of the things that ought TO be, but can
not-until all nations see eve to eye-and re-
taIiatory tariff, atfording incidental protection
home manufactures, is the only thing that can
save us from being eaten up yoracIously by for
eign States"

Alarming Calculation.

Major Long of the United States Topographl.
cal Corps, whose attention has lately been directs
TO the action of the water the Illinois shore OF
the Mississippi p,opposte the mouth OF the Missouri,
las informed the editor Of the ST. Louis Era that
the river has, within the last year, cut away a
bout two hundred yards of the bank, leaving on
sissIppi With The low grounds oi Long Lake
Thsre are, besides, several raviaes which head
nearer and into which the water from the river
passed last spring, and by this channel to the
Lake The editor Of the Era remarks:
"it this destruction of the bank should conln-
for two or three years, it is certain that SO
much of the water will pass into the '-ake as TO
inundate the whole American bottom, from 'ts
extremity a, the mouth, TO kaskaskia. 1t will
require very little calculation TO show that ZOO.
600 acres Of the richest land in the world viii
thus be lost for oil purposes Of cultivation, and
its injury to ST. Louis will be ncalcuiable.--
Communications, during periods OF high water,
with the eastern section OF Illinois, will be Gu.
off, and the submerson of such an extent of coun-
try must be prejudcial to health"

The English Counterfeiting American Cotton

RnSroN Nov. Is. 1913.


The recent commercial revolution IN Chns,
which has resulted IN opening SIX ports OF the
Celestial Empire 10 the trade of foreign nations.
has resulted gorlousiy for tho United States, IN
opening new market for various manufac-

The first export of cotton goods TO China, was

10 them, in order 10 get better prices for their

Fashions The New York True Sun says, OF
tho fashions in that city--The cold weather has
brought the ladies out in tul winter costume
Mousseine de laine, velvets, velveteens and fur
have superseded silks, and Broadway flashes with
oil the hues and patterns of the kaleidoscope; Tor
never within our recoections has fashion ar
rayed her votaries in such gay and mulrcolored
fabricks as she has selected for the present sea-
son. Blue, orange, green, scarlet, black and
crimson, in strong contrast, seem 10 be the pre-
vailing tints, and the gentlemen, rot 10 be out
done in splendor, are wearing vests emoiaZoned
like a herald's tabard, Illuminated missal.
Some few ambitious male Individuals presuming
upon their siachios and imPefiais, have even
yentured 10 encase their neither person IN integu-
ments of as many dyes as Joseph's coat; but as
the exmpIe has not been followed SO extensively
as they expected, we presume their particoiored
legs will speedily assume civilized appearance.
We met one of these gay legged persons IN Cham,
bers street, last Saturday. The ground color OF
his pantaloons blue, which appeared
little conical dabs of yellow, looking We presume,
very much like the tongues of flame which were
painted on the robes of the victims at an au'ode

probably either a travelling count, or a Hebrew
vender Of cast off garments-whch OF the two II

opposition 10 the abolition measures of the day "a
follows
"Wi,h regard to the subjects mentioned in this
note-lhe annexation Of Texas and the abolition
of slavery IN the District Of Co'umbia-l have
no opinions which wish to conceal. The IexlS
question is very delicate one, and II is probaofe
II will occupy much of the attention OF Congress

already avowed on more than one occasion. On
the subject of Abolition, Abolition societies. Anti
slavery societies, the Liberty party, | have

opposition to slavery GO as far as any of these;
my sentiments, believe, very nearly accord with
theirs. That slavery will be abolished in this
country and throughou the world, firmly be-
lievc Whether ii shall be done peaceably or by
blood God only knows, but that it shall be ac-
complished have not doubt and, by whatever
way, | say let il come.
..As to the abolition Of slavery in tho District
of Columbia, have said that | was opposed to 1t

Congress TO abolish slavery in the DISTRICT, for |
have none Bat regard II as a violation of re
pubIican principles to enact laws at the petition
of one people which are 10 operate upon another
people against their consent. As the laws now
stand, the people of the District have property IN
their slaves.
IL do not admit that these laws are IN accor.
dance with Justice, for it can never be true tina
one man can rightfuly have property in anothel
man Still these laws have had existence
since before that part Of the country became the
District of Columbia, and was brought under tht
power of Congress; and I think they should no
be altered rithout the consent of the people Of th'
District. This consent believe will yet be obtain
ed and slavery will be abolished there"

There seems no reason TO doubt, from the ind /.
cations in the Mndlsonian and other quarters
that John Tyler will recommend to the next Con
gress. su bsfantia!ly, the Annexation of Texas 10
the United States! The reports Of dissension
and sppreheuded explosion in his Cabinet on
this and other subjects may or not be well foun-
dcd; bat that the Message viii talk largely Of the
designs Of Great Britain On Texls, the un,iring
Vaccinations Of the Aboitionis;s, and the neces
slty Of connteracting them by somc promp, and
decisive action with regard TO Texas, appears
certain.
If This project of Annexation be formidabIy
bicked and vigorously pushed, it viii for time
override all party considerations. The Free
States, without regard to party, can never agree
to the addition Of vast new territory to our do
mInion in which the poisonous seed of Slavery
has already been thIckiy sown. The serious pros
posaI Of 1t will arouse q resistance TO which the
Missouri excitement was a trifle. Bot it cannot
be strongly pressed. Mr. Van Buren, aud his
friends nHH VIC te2dIhg
Wing journals, even of the South, have already
condemned il. Mr.. Calhoun's friends may go in
with Mr.. Tyler, but they will not make great
