FEA correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Gazette thus describes visit to the es-
tate of Mr.. Peabody, an eminent horti-
culturist near Columbus, Georgia:
sMr. Peabody has very healthy To-
cation on hill in the pine woods-over
six hundred acres and when they went
on it, thirteen years ago, not tree had
been cut. He cleared space for his
house, ind they moved in the next
spring. He has proved the most sue
cessful cultivator Of many kinds OF
fruits, berries, and melons in this coun-
try. | saw 1000 hills Of watermel-
Ions, on which will be ripe fruit by the
10th or 18th of June he says he has
frequently picked them weighing fifty
pounds. His great popularity with
strawberries is the quantity Of fruit, its
size, and flavor, and the constant bear
ing Of the vines; always has plenty Of
fine berries for six months frequently
eight-and last season he had them ev-
cry month in the year. Recollect this
is in the open air-in his open fields
| saw eight acres of rawberries the
vines are very small, and covered (the
ground LITERAL y looks red) with most
delicious, large Hovey berries. These
vines have been in just as full bearing
since the 10th Of March, and he says
will continue until the middle of Sep
TENDER, and as much longer as fros,
keeps away, if he chooses to attend to
them. Mr.. P. sends to this market from
$50 to 200 quarts per day, and says he
could pick double the quantity if the
market was larger"

Russia and Turkey.


il Stunning up the news by the Baltic
SAYS:
The Emperor Nicholas has given Off
cial notice to the Western powers OF
Europe, that he entirely approves the
course of Prince Menchikoff at Con-
stantinople, and insists upon the de-
mands Of which he was the organ. And
while disclaiming the intention of ma
king war on Turkey, or Of turning the
Sultan out of his dominions. he also
gives notice that unless these demands
are granted, he will proceed to occupy
Moldavia and Wallachin, though he says
he will not march his armies into any
other Of the Turkish provinces. To en-
ter the Danubian principalities, he
claims as right under the Treaty en-
dowing him with a protectorate over
them; but the truth is that that Treaty
admits his forces. across The ,prntls ,.s's1s.ss
when they are needed for the preserva-
ton of order in the principalities them
selves, and then it is expressly declared
that the Turks have the right to march
an equal force into the same territories.
These stipulations do not afford the
slightest pretext for the threatened &C.
cupation, and it cannot, therefore, be
considered otherwise than as declara-
ton Of war. On this head we cannot.
however, expect definite intelligence
before the arrival Of the Collins steamer
which will sail from Liverpool day af-
ter tomorrow, and may be expected
here by Sunday, July 9,-as the Empe-
|ror's final decision was not expected to
reach London before to-day.
With view to actual warlike move
nents, the British and French fleets. a.
bout forty sail with some 1000 guns in
all, were at Besika Bay, at the entrance
of the Dardanelles, ready, on the re-
ceipt of orders from the Ambassadors of
their respective Governments at Con-
stantinople, to pass the Straits and at
once commence operations, offensive or
defensive. Against this formidable
force, all in the highest order and man
ned with excellent sailors, the Russian
Black Sea fleet could not act with any
hope of success. According to the best
information it consists of about 80 sail
with some 1000 guns but while the
allied fleets are provided with numer-
Gus steamers, the Russians have very
few, and for any considerable NOV ement
must depend on. sails alone besides,
their vessels are comparatively ill-man-
ned and not a match for an equal French
or English force. In the event of a
war then, the Black Sea would be swept
of its Muscovite occupants, while at
the same time a similar operation might
be performed in the Baltic, and thus the
Russian Navy quite extinguished.

REASONS FOR REFUSING AN APPOINTMENT,
When Judge McLane was Postmaster

applicant. for not giving him the Office he de-
sired, and requested to inform him why he
refused him the appointment. The Judge re-
piled as folows;
"The allegations against you are numerous
and strong, and are chiefly these: That you
cannot write or read well enough, are not a
safe accountant, have been guilty Of the
crosses, negligence in not delivering letters
when called for, negligence always ircon-

livering letters frequently to persons for
whom they were not intended, and suffer
them to be taken away, fail to aend letters

Curing the StraddleS.

Platform man in lS4s, and as still on the
planks, whereupon the President remarked
with unmistakable emph asis: mo friend OF
my administration can stand, at the same time

and pointing his finger toward the crowd. he
added, in a Stentor:an voice: 81 oiu not MAKE
any appointee who attempts to stand on two
platforms. Buffalo and Baltimore are anti.

We presume that by the time General
Pierce has his army Of office-holders under
drill for few months, they may be known by
the peculiar way they walk.-Any tendency
to straddle will be punished as evidence OF
sympathy in one leg for Buffalo and in the
other for Baltimore.

" Queen Victoria, in refusing to have

Of the affair. copied from the ordinary record

At the Queens grand drawing room, held

present Mrs. Stowe, which it appears she
took so much in dudgeon as to present no one,
though there was not wanting plenty of her
friends aspiring to the honor and expecting it
from her.
1t is to be hoped that this action of the
Qneen will have the effect of checking the
absurd toadyism, half ironical and wholly mis-.
chievous, with which Mrs. Stowe has been
received in England, and will suggest to the
Shaftsburys, Sutherlands. and other lofty
