CHARLOTTESVILLE IN COMMOT1ON we nave
learned that several University students were
imprisoned in Charlottesville Jail the l 7th
instant. While present at Wyman's exhibi-
ton, they made rather noise than was
| agreeable, when ten or fifteen policemen rushed
in upon them, and a conflict ensued, in which
both policemen and students were injured. The
policemen finally succeeded in securing two Of
the students and confning them in jail. 1t is
stated that one of the policemen held one of
the students, while another struck him, knock
ing him out of his senses, and committee of
students was appointed by these who witnesstd q
the affair, to arouse the student to avcnge them
selves The students needed no committee for
the purpose. Nearly three hundred assembled
and threatened to tear down the county jail
and some wished to burn the town
Prof. Harrison, after considerable difficulty,
succeeded in appcaSing them long enough to
listen to proposition from him to the effect
that the students should ap; oint himself with
five six students a committee to meet the
town authorities. On his return he informed
them that the Jail was guarded by body Of
GO riAcmen. At the mention of this, their in
dgnation aroused anew, and they clamored
Quito Charlottsvillc-march upon them"
and their shouts, is stated by eye witness,
might have been heard for mile.
The committee, however, reasoned them into
desisting from any attempt to rescue their mates
| until they were better prepared, and on the
| morning Of the 10Th, they met at the rotunda
! of the lawn in great numbers. There they re-
solved, instead Of going down in a body, to APP
point a committee to that justice was done
! their companions-yet their feelings are, it is
| said not of the most pacific character, and blood
may yet be shed: We earnestly hope, for the
sake of the University, we'll as of the students
themselves that the affair will not come to this
and we are assured that the faculty will use
every eSertion to prevent such Il result.
! SHORT DIRECTION PLANTING TREEs.-Rc-
move all bruised or injured roots, by cutting
them from the under side with a sharp knife.
Dig the holes at least twice as large as the roots
extend, to allow them easy access in their
starting to the loose earth, which should be
] finely nnIxerized when, the hols is half filed
pour in few gallons Of water, winch has d tef4-
dency to settle the earth and fill up vacancies
BE careful to avoid lifting the tree up, while
filling in which tend to give the roots verti-
cal and unnatural position. Let the soil in con-
tact with the roots be the surface soil first
thrown out or rich loan, obtained expressly,
would he better. Leaf mould, from the woods,
is excellent. Let no manure be put into the
hole around the root with is apt to induce de-
cay. If any is applied let it be on the surface,
to be carried down by rains. The fall OF the
year is a suitable time for surface manurng
around trees. Let the trees be well stacked
and tied up, to prevent being shaken disturb
ed by the winds. After-cuture aud periodical
iudicious pruning are also important. As a
general rule, orchards should be ploughed and
cultivated to insure fine fruit and good crops.
Where this is not practicable trees should be
lug round aud kept free from grass and weeds
Avoid especially deep planting when the earth
settles, the tree should be about the same depth

Nulching all trees the first they
| ransplanted by covering the ground around,
wo three feet each way, with grass or coarse
| ,ay. litter &c, is very important to secure
