TREEs.-Much land which would have produced
trees, and nothing but trces-as the rocky points
ofhils, barren knolls the sides of been
left naked, and the so, having nothing to hold it's
particles together, has been washed to sterility.
Another injury which has ensued from this de-
struction of trees is the greater exposure of many
situations to the force of the winds In this climate
subject it is to extreme heat and cold, trees are
important means OF shelter. A border of trees,
even not more than a rod in width, on the north
and west sides of fields, will produce very favora
BILE effect in breaking off the cold blasts. This is
particularly required on hill and mountain pas
lures and also in open champaign districts like the
Western prairies. There should also be trees in
proper places for shade, animals exposed to the
full blaze of our intense summer suffer greatly
from its effects.
All steep ll-sidcs, gorges, and gulleys, should
be left in trees. or planted with them. These spots
left bald and unproductivc, give an unpleasant as.
pect to the landscape; but, clothed with trees they
inpart picturesque beauty and interest to the
scenery. II would not be difficult to cover these
places with trees, by planting the sugar maple,
elm, white lash, oak, chestnut, and some ever
greens, as the cedar, hemlock, and pine TO fill up
the plantation. All these would become valuable
either as timber for fuel. II would be necessary
to keep stock away from them till they have at.
taincd ouch size as not to be injured by browsing.

Coal IN IowA--We extract the following from
an interesting paper read before the Scientific

the valley Of the Des Moines across this great coal

CUMBERLAND ArrAIns--We extract the follow
ing items of interest from the Cumberland Civilian
of Friday:
The Coal Irade.-The canal continues in good
boating order, but business limited on account Of
the scarcity of boats. The amount of coal shipped
on the boats during the past week was ,9l6 tons,
and by the railroad 4,l9l tons.
n Canal Packet.-Mr. Ward is fitting up at his
boat-yar handsome canal packet, which he ex-
pects to have ready for use by the 4th of July. 1t
is probable she will ultimately run regular
packet between Cumberland and Alexandria, and
be the first of line, being handsomely fitted up
for passengers.
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad IEesf-We under
stand that this road has. been completed to Pied
mont Station, above wv kernport In short time
Glade friends will be able TO reach us in about
three hours, instead of one and half days.

PREsipEHT FILLMoRE.-The Farmville RepuIl-
can thus refers to various names which have been
mentioned in connection with the Presidency:
"The question, who is to be the candidate of the
Wing party at the next Presidential electionr Is
beginning to excite considerable interest through
out the country, and various distinguished gentle
mon have been spoken Of by their respective friends
as candidates, the most prominent of whom are
General Scott and Messrs. Clay, Webster, Crit.
tenden, and Fillmore. Among these, il we except
the military chief who heads the list, and who. we
think, suits better in the position ne occupies
than in any other in which he might be placed, we
have no special preference. They are all deserv-
ing of the high office, and their past career is a
sufficient guarantee that the best interests of the
country would be perfectly safe if entrusted 10
either Of them. But while we do not wish to avow
preference and are content to abide the action of
National Convention, must be permitted to
express our high admiration Of Mr.. Fillmore and
the policy he has pursued since his elevation to the
Presidency That his course thus far proves him
the accomplished gentleman, the able statesman,
and the industrious public servant mono will deny;
and that no 10 patricia friend of the tohols
Union-and a man on whose judgment, integrity,
and frmness, the country may safely rely in any
and every crisis, think equally true. Should
he be the candidate, the Wings will have leader
worthy OF their most cordial support"

GREAT WILL CASE DEcIpED-Siapes Libsrated.-
There has been for some time before the courts at
Richmond, Va, what was known as thaRagland

declaration of northern fanatics that the colored

at all impossible nor unusual. They urge that he

At this stage, Mr.. Corwin was called to the

appears that Mr.. Corwin (who probably knew
well enough that spotless character instead of af

larger target for its shafts, and that in evil times
1t is not enough to act rightly, but wise to act

quoting from editorial article in the New York

lied at Willamsburgh, on Long leland, with Thos.
X Beecher for its pastor. In the account given of
this organization we find the following;
at is proper to mention that the delegates from
the First Congregational Church in Williams
burgh, small church under the pastoral care OF
Rev. s. L. Jocclyn, formally withdrew from the
council before the public services because tho cove
nant Of the church about to bo organized did not
mention specifically liquor selling and slavehold-
ing as disciplinable offences. But the coupcil

any thing of that description; but something high

acting the embodied life Of Christ, and by the
spirit Of Christ SHALL BY its quiet, hcalthful moral
sentiment and its deep toned piety, tell moro Of

We think the council took the right ground in
this matter and the clear distinction made between
the true mission ofthc church and other organiza-

tensivc and cheerful response. The church of
