the artist, who at once remodeled the original like
ness into ridiculous and obscene picture, placing
pipe in its mouth and otherwise shamefully dis
figuring it, after which he hung it clubhouse

It is to be regretted that the Legislature did not

cases where the punishment is by fine or imprson-

to imprisonment not exceeding one year. A tribunal

The Introduction of plants and trees from one
country into another, is one of the most pleasing
chapters in the history of human progress. A lit
tie more than half century ago, the cotton plant
was one of the garden flowers of Charleston And

ernors, who planted it from lucky within. What
would America be without her cotton and her rice
DIR. Smith says that the most delicate and aro-
matte teas are prepared from the young leaves.
These will not bear transportation, and some of
the best qualities are worth one hundred dollars a
pound. What country for the socialists to try
their plans Of reform, where one man sips his tea at
ten dollars cup, and his neighbor devours a
starved rat to keep himself from starvation Thai
the tea plant will thrive in this country may be adj
mitted, and yet the culture on a large scale moi
succeed. The preparation is by hand-each leafs
rolled by itself. If some machine can be invented
to perform this labor, then, perhaps, we can under.
sell the Celestals even at Canton
At any rate the tea plants will be very pretty
toys in our gardens, and all the dealers in flowers
and shrubs will doubtless furnish themselves with
the roots from DR.. Smith. His pamphlet on the
subject is to be found at SteePs and Morgan's
and is well worth reading. Tea comes in duty
free now, but South Carolina will soon want
tariff of protection for her tea as she formerly de-
manded it for her cotton.

The CULTURE OF THE TEA PLANT IN THE
UNITED STATEs.-Dr. Junius Smith is living
illustration of American versatility and energy and
industry. DR.. Smith devoted the best part of his
life to the introduction of Ocean steam navigation,
and was instrumental in the establishment of the
steam packets between Europe and America He
was overtaken by the reverses of fortune, and from
studying the most powerful elements, he has set
tied down to be Tea gardener. He has small
farm in the neighborhood of the beautiful village of
Greenville, s. G. Here he has undertaken the Gull
tvation of that diminutive plant, whose leaves form
such an important item of commerce, and devotes
himself with his characteristic zeal to his ne W call
ing. In letter of May LIST, he gives most inter
esting account of the leaving of his plants, which
commenced about the Goth of April, thus obeying
the physiological laws which control the plant in
its native country

The LKvRK SYsTEM.-Mr. S. d. Clark, of the
Senate, and member of the Committee on Levees,
has addressed circular which contains numerous
questions, calculated to draw out important infor-
nation the subject of the currents of the Missis
sippi
Anassasius says that on his arrival at Cairo the
sole theme of conversation and interest, was the
rise of the Nile-the same can be said OF the
planters-whie the Egyptians watched with the
deepest anxiety the indications of the flood, which
was to deposit its ructifying slime on their lands,
the Louisianians watch with the most painful solicit
tude the rise which is to devastate their fields
But little scientific attention has been paid to the
physics OF the Mississippi. The circular of Mr..
CLARK, if responded to at all, will aid the COM
mittee to collect mass of facts which may enable
the Legislature to enact levee system which will
protect the alluvial lands.
We should suggest the Marshals to instruct
their deputies when taking the census, to obtain
information on this subject. The object of census
is not only to obtain the population but the property
of the State. Such was the meaning of the term
in Rome. Now, in ascertaining the value of a
landed estate, it is essential to know how much of
it is subject to overflow, and what height of the
water of the river, will inundate any portion of the
farm.
The last Congress passed law giving to Lou
siana all the overlooked lands. The construction
given to this gift by the proper officers of the De-
partment is that it embraces all land which would
be inundated, if not protected by levees. AT this
moment, but for the levees there would not be a
foot of land above the waters from the Mississippi
to the hanks af tl,a n--l:t. below the mouth
OF Red river, the grant would include all the land
| between the highlands of the Felcianas and the
Opelousas and Attakapas prairies.
This construction of the law is certainly in ac-
cordance with justice for the citizens of Louisiana
have expended millions the levees, which alone
furnish protection insufficient as it is to the allu-
vial lands, and give them any value We say the
planting interest is more heavily taxed than the
people of the Second Municipality. This liberal
construction of the statute rivals the famous oxhde
of antiquity, which was made to circuit of
twentyfou miles. Under that construction we have
obtained millions of acres, which by proper means
can be made source of wealth. Its true that the
best Of these lands have been already purchased
but still enough remain to make it an object of first
importance 10 reclaim them. Not only would
large sum be poured into the public treasury by
the sale, but the cultivation of the great staples
would be largely increased, and the revenue of the
State augmented. We hope that the planters
living the alluvial lands, will answer fully the
interesting questions of Mr.. Clark and thus pave
the way for useful practical action.
