The Disease which has almost destroyed thu
buttonwood trees prevails this spring Thu
Horticultural recommends the following as
remedy for the evil
aHead down or shorten very severely. as ear
ly as possible in June, the extremties of all the
lower limbs This forces the tree to put out
new buds and strong set of fresh and thrifty
shoots with large and healthy leaves. This
young and vigorous foliage appears to have the
power of resisting the disease. The tree rapid
ly makes wood, and in few years becomes
larger and more beautiful than ever. The
above has been tried with apparent success two
years ago"
We have perceived with much, regret that
some of the finest trees in the Capitol gardens
were about to be levelled with the ground, be-
cause Of their sickly appearance, engendered by
disease very prevalent at this time in various
parts of the country.
We have extracted the paragraph which heads
these few lines, because it points out remedy
which is recommended by the" Horiicuhuria"-
and we shall be delighted, as will every nd
mirer of those beautiful gardens, if those trees
can be saved.

VALPARAISO, May 10, 1851,
c. w. SYLE, Secretary.

Every thing here is in confusion in conse-
qu,uce of the late earthquake, the particulars of
which you will find in the newspapers. There
were over one hundred distinct shocks A very
serious revolution broke out in Santiago on the
2lst of April. The difficulty grew out of the
approaching Presidential election. The candi-
dates are Monte and Gen. Cruz. On the above
day General Of Battalion, named Vnldma.
declared in avor of Gen. Cruz, and the soldiers
under him set fire to the Cathedral and other
public buildings A skirmsh then took place
in the street, and several persons of distinction
were killed Don lgnacio Ortoza was wounded,
but not dangerously. The cities of Santiago and
Valparaiso are both now under martial law.
CIRCULARS AND CIRCULATING NEWSPAPER
NUrsANcEs--Great complaints are made through
ont the country by merchants and others, against
the impudent practice Of sending circulars md
free advertising sheets from the cities to persons
who never ordered them, and for which they are
subjected to tho expense Of the carriers fees on
all occarions, and in many instances 10 the pos
tagc besides Advertisers who expect to increase
their customers by this mode Of piracy upon the
pockets of the people of the country, will be
very much mistaken. If they desire custom f ON
abroad they would act wisely by informing the
people of such districts wherein they wish to
extend their trade, through the newspapers OF
such Districts Pnlmer's Register.

NG0od Night to MarmiOn.v

Under this caption the Montgomery (Ala.,)
Advertiser and Gazette chronicles the decination
of the "Union" candidate for governor, Mr..
SHIELDS.
Speaking of the perpexities Of that party, the
editor says
@They have failed again nd again to get up
a Union demonstration. They have failed again
and again TO procure candidate for governor.
They first tried Mr.. Lyon, and he Indignantly re-
fused to allow the use OF his name; they then
talked of Col. BETHEA-we suppose he did the
same thing-as we find him now cooperating with
our friends in Mobile to defeat the lreesoier
LAyGooH They then fell back upon SHIELDS,
but his doctrines were so infamous and odious
that the people have actually driven him from
the field by their Indignation and refusal to sup
port him, and although he has shown every dis
position to run, yet the want of n response
from the people has caused bin 10 find an grouse
in bad health, 10 decline The canvass. This he
does in the Alabama Journal of yesterday morn
| ing After endeavoring TO throw as much sus-
picion over governor CoLLIER's position rs he
can, and az far as possible to identify him with
his own infamous doctrines he thus concludes
ain conclusion, gentlemen. beg leave TO re-
peat that If the position Gov Collier thinks
proper to put himself before the people of Ala
bama be not satisfactory to the friends Of the
Union, and the work of personal canvassing by
his competitor be deemed necessary to defeat his
reelection, feel that nm so far disqualified by
feeble health for such task that it becomes my
duty TO decline it.
"very respectfully, your obedient servant,
"B. G.. SHIELDS"
We rejoice TO find that as this Union move
mcnt is unclonked and exposed to the gaze of
the people, the State rights men are rallying to
the support Of their true principles. The Union
movement is fast being looked upon as mere
humbug.
