REyoLTING DIscLosuREs.-The S. F. Herald
publishes the following account of the desecra-
ton of the cemetery
"For some time past there has been in pro-
gress shocking and mysterious Dissertation of
the graves in the cemetery Of Yerba Buena In
order to promote the ends of Justice there has
been hitherto but partial allusion made to this
horrible PROCLAMATION but the crime has become
OF such frequent occurrence as at length to call
for the nterpostion of the authorities; and citi-
zens are obliged to hire watchers to protect the
graves OF their relatives. On Tuesday the coro-
ner proceeded to the cemetery with two gentle
men, and made an examination which proved
that 1t IS not for the promotion of science the grarcs
are DISTURBED, but for some execrable purpose
that cannot be fathomed. The bodies of males
although the graves were opened, were left un-
molested, while the bodies of females were hor-
ribly mutlated Half decomposed remains, the
contents of despoied graves have been dscov-
cred secreted IN the shrubbery around the grave
yard, and in most cases the coffins were remov-
ed with the bodies they contained. We are un-
aware OF any statute at present existing for the
punishment of this species of crime, and we
trust it will be made the subject of prompt and
stringent legislation.

THE SEABoARD AGRICULTURAL FAR.-The
agricultural societies of Princess Anne and Nor
folk counties have determined to hold their
next annual fair in November in this city, and
we regret to see SO little interest manifested in
it by our citizens and business men. The inn
portance of these periodical assemblages in pro-
noting the welfare Of town cannot be too
highly estimated. Other cities know how to
value them, and do all in their power for their
encouragement. The authorities Of Richmond
recently subscribed $4,000 to procure site
and necessary fixtures for the State agricultu-
raj fair, which is to hold its session in that place
in November We trust similar spirit will
pervade our community, and that no effort will
be spared to give not only success but eclat to
the laudable object ofour uragricultural neighbors
1t would be an everlasting reproach to us if the
scheme should fail for the want of proper means
to support it, and we should never cease to re-
gret our supineness. Let us then be generous
in our contributions, and let every one subscribe
according to his means, for all are interested
in the good work.-Nortok Argus.

A DYING RsE-CHEsTNUT.-On Warren
street, near the Hudson River railroad depot
may be seen horse-chestnut tree, which has
this season curionsly illustrated the law Of the
vegetable creation, that causes tree or shrub,
immediately before its death, or the sudden ces-
sation of its fuitfnlness, to flower abundantly.
This tree is now Towering the fourth time since
spring. In it's proximity to the depot it has,
doubtless, sustained injury, which will soon de-
stroy it. This repeated towering is q last effort
to preserve and perpetuate its species, and is
the effect of that state of depletion through
which the tree passes to sterility and death
The florist acts in reference to the same law
when he exposes for a time to the cold the green
house or hot-house plant, which he would have
flower luxuriently. The danger caused by the
temperature, too low for the nature OF the plant,
is followed invariably by an effort of nature for
its safety, and it flowers profusely; and, if a
Seeding plant bears seed accordingly-N r

va The Paris correspondent OF the New York
1imes gives the following picture Of the comforts
and dignity of the "own correspondent" Of the
London Times:
Next 10 the berth Of the British Ambassador al
Paris, suppose that the post OF correspondent to
the London If0aes is most TO be desired. Let me
rehearse few of the immunitics and privileges Of
thai Individual. His salary is $1,000 year. He
has handsome suit of rooms, furnished and paid
for by the paper He has two clerks constantly in
his employ, who read the French journals, trans
late collate cut out items from Galgnani, and add
their eyes, invention, experience and observation
TO his. These gentlemen are paid by the Times of
course. The correspondent buys and charges to
the paper, any books of which he may stand in
need--and the library is very choice and COM
plete collection of standard authors, cycopedias,
dictionaries, and other books of reference. He is
empowered TO pay for any important intelligence,
Just what il may cost.
When the post office closes early, TO the infinite
annoyance of all us correspondents of low degree,
he writes on merrily till sunset, and then hires a
man TO Jump into the o'clock train, and take his
sides all this his position is such that great many
things come 10 him, without his giving himself the
trouble to 60 to them. Thus, proclamation of
Henry v. desires 10 the light, M Berryer sends
il to the correspondent of the London Times, who
gives il to one of his clerks to translate. All the
other correspondents, when they il in print,
throw up their hands and wonder how the man
knew there was such proclamation in existence,
and where he went TO get IT, In short, it is great
thing to represent the London Times in Paris. To
be able to say you are the Russian Ambassador is
one thing; TO be forced to confess you are the En-
voy from Venezuelais is another 10 stand up and say
you are the correspondent OF the Times, is 10 To-
cate yourself between the two, and rather nearer
the top than the foot of the column.

SECOND DESPATCH.
ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA.

New YORK, O'Clock, p. M-The Turkish ques-
ton is still in fog. The correspondent of the
London Times, writing from Paris, says that the
English and French governments had notified Rus
sia in strong TERMS that it is now too late issue
more notifications, and that England and France
will support the integrity of Turkey. This is
probable but it wants confirmation.

According to the best accounts, which are yet

General Covobert will go with 10000 men 10 Con-

New USE FOR PoTATo VNEs.-P. A. Strobel,

Georgia Telegraph the following:

the winter and used the following spring, in pro-
pagating new crop. have tried the expert
ment during this year to my entire satisfaction,
and therefore feel it my duty to communicate
the result for the benefit Of the public In the
fall, (any time before frost,) the vines may be
cut in any convenient length, and placed, in
LAYERS, ON the surface of the earth, to the depth
Of twelve or eighteen inches, cover the vines,
chilst damp, with partially rotted straw, (either
pine or wheat will answer,) to the depth of six
inches, and cover the whole with light soil
about four inches deep. In this way the vines
will keep during the winter, and in the spring
they will put out sprouts as abundantly as the
potato itself when bedded. The draws OF
sprouts can be planted first, and the vine itsel
can be subsequently cut and used as we gene
rally plant slips. This experiment is worthy
the consideration of farmers, as it will save {
great many seed potatoes, particularly on large
plantations which can be used for feeding

Byrecognizing and perpetuating the sections,
they have kept fastened to him. in despite OF
himself the badge Of freesoilism- the stigma

the work is done by our section" Thus was
innocence cruci6ed between two unrepentant
thieves upon the fatal tree of freesoilism, and
kept constantly hung up in that attitude before
the public gaze. The consequences, probably,
were most injurious. Common fame reports
that the President desired to give this gentle
man seat in his cabinet, and was only de-
tered from 80 doing by information that in
consequence of his freesoil associations he
could not be confirmed in the Senate. 1t is
also stated that desire existed to favor him
in reference to the French mission, and that his
preferment was,here again prevented by similar
means.
know nothing as to the truth of these sup
positions; but assuming the fact by way OF
illustration, we see how injuriously the policy
OF recognizing sections in the party operates
even upon the freesoilers themselves.
No one of them eminent enough to be OF
value as an associate, win be permitted to
separate himself from his faction, or to re-enter
the ranks Of the original party in proper and
legitimate way.
We are told in the Hon. Secretary's letter
that the President has adopted this policy l

in as great a misapprehension Of his real views
as seems to exist in relation to the import OF
the Baltimore platform. / know him to be
pure, upright and patriotic; am sure that
under the embarrassments which have sur
rounded him from the hour Of his election, he
has exerted high measure of ability; and if
he has not overcome them all, it is from the
impracticable nature of the task, and not from
any failure on his part in diligence, mental
power, or fidelity to the Constitution.

How TO RAISE FRUIT EVERY YEAR.-Ifrighty
understood, few trees, unless absolutely dead or
rotten, need occupy ground, without yielding
plenteous crop. After long and varied series
Of experiments, l gradually adopted the follow
ing mode:
As soon as the winter has sufficiently disap-
peared, and before the sap ascends, ] examine
my trees; every dead bough is Topped off
Then, after the sap has risen sufficiently to
show where the blossoms viii be, I cut away all
the branches having none on, and also the ex-
tremity of every limb, the lower part Of which
bears considerable number Of buds, thus con-
centrating the sap of the tree upon the matu-
ration of its fruit, and saving what would be
useless expenditure of strength. In the ounce,
apricot and peach trees, this is very important,
as these are apt to be luxuriant in leaves, and
destitute of fruit. You may think this Injuries
the trees, but it does not for you will find trees
laden with fruit which formerly yielded nothing.
Of course, all other well known precautions
must be attended to, such as cutting out worms
from the roots, placing old iron on the limbs,
which act as a tonic to the sap, &c. Try it. ye

The Selma (Fla.) Sentinel of the 9th ultimo
says:
For several days the weather has felt quite
autumn like and continues cold yet. From
present appearance it would seem that we will
be blessed with an early frost God send it,
that the yellow pestilence may be driven from
our seaboard The continuance of the yellow
fever in Mobile and New Orleans operates as a
drawback to the business Of the up-country.
The planters and others of the country are
holding back their cotton and other produce In
consequence. AS soon as the epidemic SUBJ
sides, we may anticipate the commencement
and continuance of prosperous business sea-
son.
THE WEATHER-It has been quite cool for
several days past--cold enough indeed to rem
der fires in the morning and evening necessary
for comfort. Autumn has set in and we may
soon look for chilly days and frosty nights.
The weather has, however, been delightful for
the season, clear, bracing, and dry-admirably
suited for cotton picking Columbus MISS.
Democrat, 27th uH.
From the Montgomery (Ala.) Journal of the
26th ultimo:
The crops have suffered materially in this
section-early in the season by drought and
rain, and within the last few weeks the bottom
and middle crop, which was mainly relied on,
has been damaged extensively by the worm and
the rot, produced by continued wet weather.
1t is the opinion Of many planters that the
crop, such as it is, is made, and that there is
little left to perfect which will be injured by
an early frost The general opinion is that the
crop will fall short Of that Of last year in this
section, which was below fair average.
From the Claiborne (Ala.) Southerne, of the
Oath ultimo:
Another heavy rain descended on Monday
afternoon. Worse and worse for planters. We
shall soon have full river, but little cotton tc
freight the steamers with.
One fact is worthy Of notice with regard tc
the short crop; the planters OF this country are
the majority Of them, out of debt, and it makes
little difference in their appearance whether the
crop is short or full one.--C Charleston Neacs.
