Gilliams, Of 81. Mary's county, Maryland,
writes az follows to the Farmers Cabinet:
In the Cabinet, of August Is, is q letter
that was read 81 a late meeting of the Far
rners' Club, in New York, concerning the
mischief done 70 peach trees by insects,
and the way to prevent their rayages. !
have now peach trees full of fruit in my
OF, den that were recovered by the free use
Of quick lime around the root, after having
laid them bare lor some distance around
the tree.
4 friend informs me that he has saved
a fine n~ectarine tree, by pouring strong to
bacco Juice, boiling hot, around the roots
laid bare, and sand put around the tree IN
stead ofthe earth that wa taken OUT. Ihes'
trees never bare until they were treated II
this way the leaves were yello" and aP'
pareptIy full Of insects, and finally all drop
ped off.

but because they are not willing to be bought and
sold themselves; and these Vermont ministers "deep-
" synpathize" with them in their struggle to hold on
to the church north, slavery and all. For whatever
may be the designs of the northern BRETHREN" they
doubtless cling to slavery with frmer grasp than
they do to '.e church. The sympathy felt seems to
oe an active one. for they recommend that ehclent
measures be adopted to supply those portions OF the
south who will consent to accept the services of nor
thern seceedcrs and cannot believe that the church
will yet prove recreant to every principle of christi
anity as to desert them in this their hour of trial. The
last resolution occupies singular position After ex-
pressing so decidedly wish for all the slave territory
they can get and of course all the slave influence
they would bring with them, they then wish to pass
rules of an abolition character. This really appears
ridiculous in body of men that have always carried
their point so as to keep the church continually lean
ing and giving way before the slave power. They
expect to carry strong abolition measures, Reasoning
from the past fear any reasonable prospect in the
future for such hope must be as the spiders Web or
as the giving up of the ghost The idea is entertained
by some that the Vermont conference did not wish a
connection with the south, but said what they did for
the purpose of accomplishing certain ends they had in
view which very different from what was expect
ed; but this am slow to believe. I cannot yet think
them such set Of rUttenhcarod hypocrites to say
one thing and mean another of directly opposite
character therefore must think that they really want
all the slavery Of the church their backs and then
really want to rule them all hollow by restoring the
original rule, which, bye the I've, had in it the
first word against private members holding slaves. Il
this is consistency what is inconsistency?

yours in the bonds of pure and peaceful gospel

The Election.

The unparalleled apathy which characterized oul
late election, seems to held good IN gathering the
turns; so much SO, that meagro cleaning since last
week will hardly warrant numbering our columns a
gain with the list of members and the governor vote
The general result will not vary materially from wha
We last week predicted; Liberty vote, about the same
as last year; wing vote, 5000 or more smaller; demo
cratic vote, about the same as that f46.
The SENATE will stand as follows:
Hhgs-Addison ., Bennington ., Chtendcn @ Els
sex /, Franklin 8, Orleans /, Rutland g. Windham 3
Windsor 4-2l.
Democrats Caledonia 2, Grand Isle /, Lamoille 1
Orange g. Washington 80.
notwithstanding to our best estimates, tn
number of wing members is just about equal to that
democrats and Liberty men. The wings hope, b
some means, to work the card so rs to secure ma o
y. No ordinary means will be left untred. The lt
suit, we shall see.

Vermont and Massachusetts Railroad.

This enterprise since the adjournment of the Legs-
ature has been pushed forward with great energy and
perseverance. Reeves Cut, which it was predicted
would delay the line until winter was passed early in
August, and the cars are now running daily to Bald
wnsvllIe, point twenty miles beyond Fitchburg, and
the trains entering and leaving Fitchburg already re-
qne two long passenger cars to accommodate the tray
el
The principal difficulties of the line are now sur
mounted; the sunni, which divides the waters of the
bay from the Connecticut with its heavy cuts and en-
bankments, has been passed, and the rails are laid
ers, in Souh-Royalton, and following down the valley
OF Mllers river are expected to reach the fourjshino
town of Atho by the Oath of October At this point.
the road will receive the business of Brattleboroupb
and Franklin county, now temporarily diverted to the
down river Connecticut Railroad.
Beyond Athol, which is thirty-three miles west of
Fichburg the road is nearly ready at Grade to Or
ange, and will be ready for the rails as soon as thew
are laid at Athol
From Orange, through Montague and Mortified to
the state line, the road is under contract and is max
ing good progress. Arrangements will soon be COM
peted to carry it on to marlborough, and to secure
an extension to Bellows Falls
The route up the Connecticut is eminently favor
able and easy, and may soon be finished.
About eleven hundred thousand dollars has now
been paid in to the Vermont and Massachusetts Rail-
road Company and its line to Athol is leased at six
per cent as soon as finished to the Ftchburg Railroad
Company which company runs the same as fast as fin
ished The road is beautifully and permanently con-
structed and when completed viii constitute fine

Mr., EDIroR The above named resolutions, as
published in the Freeman Of June 2lh appeared to me
to demand few passing remarks.
According to the statements there made, there has
been no division between the northern and southern
portions of that church, for two reasons The LIST is
the necessary majority could not be obtained The
second is, that the plan Of separation had not been
complied with by the southern brethren; either OF
which would be sufficient to destroy the plan. This is
doubtless fair statement of the facts in the case But
how does it look when placed by the side of what has
been going the rounds ever since the last Genera
Conference? 1t has been well known, by that body O.
eccesastcs that the people they set to lead into
all TRUTH believed that The north was free from slavery
or nearly So in consequence Of that division of the tw
portions OF that church But they knowing their peo
pie were deceived, did not inform them, but on tn
contrary, gave efficiency to the idea which they kne,
was thus cheating and quilting Them As to indivdua
honesty or dishonesty will say nothing but was tn
act an honest one
1t seems that there are some within the limits {
what has been considered the southern division of III
church who were not willing the General Conferenc
should do by thsm as they do by their slaves that
sell them without their consent and choose 10 sta
WIN the northern brethren; and that in consequent
OF this choice, they are suffering great of atli
tom; not because they are willing to free their say
