rrThe DanyiIle (Ky.) Tribune

ETThe Danville (Ky.) Tribune
Of the 18th inst, contains the follow
ing article by fruit grower Of expert
ence explaining what the writer under
stand to be the cause OF the double and
triple peaches this year;
Cause Of the Double Peaches.
"All the varieties Of the peach,
nectarine and other fruit, have been
stunted in their growth Of the last two
summers, so that they could not make
their regular growth. Now vegeta-
ton recommences with the spring Of
the second year and the return Of
warm weather. The uppermost and
perhaps some other buds, which were
formed the previous year. gradually
unfoldcd and pump up sap from the
stock remaining in store about them.
The place Of the sap so removed is
instantly supplied by that which is
next. An impulse is thus given 10
the fluids from the summit TO the root.
New sap is absorbed from the earth,
and sent upwards through the ~ood Of
last year. and The phenomenon called
the flow Of the sapis fully completed
to continue with greater or less veloci-
ty ill the return Of winter.
The axes Of the bud elongates up
wards. forming leaves and buds in the
same way as the parent shoot. In
like manner also, each bud sends
down its roots in the form Of fbres
within the bark, and above the wood
of the shoot from which il sprang,
thus forming on the one hand anew
layer of wood, and on the other fresh
deposit Of bark. In order TO facilitate
this last operation, the old bark and
wood are separated in the spring by
the emulation from both Of them Of
the glutinous, Shiny substances called
cambium, which appears TO be express
ly intended in thehrst instance to fac
ilitate the descent OF the subcortical
fbres Of the growing buds. and in the
second place TO generate the cellular
tissue by which the horizontal dila-
tation OF the axes is caused. and which
.naintains communication between
the bark and the centre OF the axes.
These lines Of communication have
by the second year become sufficient
ly developed. This is the reason Of
so strange a thing in the peach. as
! there was no wond made laet vear huf
bearing wood. and SO il happened that
double buds came forth on each shSot
which is reasonable. This is the WI ole
cause Of IL, and the sudden Cow Of the
sap rising in each bud.

The Jacksonian.

We are happy to announce that
this paper now exchanges. We were
anxious for an exchange, not only for
the reasons given last week. but be-
cause we regard it as the most reliable
exponent Of old.lineism now published
in the State. Mr.. Robinson is deci-
dedly the most talented editor at the
head ofan old line paper published in
Indiana, and then his official position
gives his articles the force of at leas
semi-otflcial documents. He is no
only in the confidence of the Presi
dent, but he is a special friend ant
confident of Hon. j. d. Bright, the
Vice President. In view of thes,
facts, we attach more importance I,
the views and positions Of the JacksO
nian than to any other paper on tina
side of the question. And then W.
think he is morally and socially wei
fitted to be chief among the leaders o
| that party.

A Capacious CARPET. Bag.

Meanness occasionally meets with n

dining-room at Erie, deposited his car
pet-bag on one chair. while he took
another by its side. He was lost for
about ten minutes-perleclly oblivious

Mcclure Library Fund.

Some twelve or fifteen years since.
Mr.. Mcclure Of New Harmony. In.
diana. died, leaving property to the
amount Of nearly half n million, which t,
by the terms of his will was bequeath-
ed in sums of five hundred dollars, to
associations Of mechanics and laboring
men. and those "who earn their living
by the sweat Of their brow" $50 the
will reads, for the purchase Of Libra
ries. Any such association having n
lecture room, and one hundred dollars
worth of books, is entitled to the ben
elits Of the will.
By some means the case was taken
into the courts, where it was pending
for a number Of years. Recently, the
matter was decided by the Supreme
Court. and Judge Alvin p. Hovey, ad.
ministrator with the will annexed. Is
now complying with tho provisions of
the will. The administrator would
prefer that the entire amount Of the
bequest be expended in this State. but
associations out Of the State are not
precluded from its benefits. In Po-
sey county, we understood. some ten
or twelve associations have been form
ed, and have each received their five
hundred dollars.
We hope ut least one such associa.
ton, in each township in this county.
will be formed Immediately, and the
amount drawn. Let one hundred dol
lars in books be bought. or donated.
and inform Judge Hovey Of il His
address is Mt. Vernon, Ind. II the
library is kept in the same room and
by the same persons as the township
library, the two libraries might furn.

The Virginia Election.

We confess that we are astonished
at the probable result Of the Virginia
election. No doubt, Wise il elected,
but by at least 10000 less majority,
than we expected. We have not seen
any issue in the canvass there, equal
to the implied endorsement of the adj
ministration by the election Of WISE
True, the Old Line prpers have kept
up desperate hue and cry about
Know Nothingism, but it was only to
bind. once more. the foreign vote to
the old party. At present, the pre-
else majority is not known, but il is
such reduced majority that the En-
quirer brings out its rooster very gen.
tly, Ii would not be allowed to come
out at all, but. poor thing. it has been
Gagged so long, that il seems to be now
or never.
The result demonstrates what we
have long suspected-the only portion
Of the Republic, where tho old line
party, will hereafter flourish, will be
South Of the line Of freedom. This is
as il should be. To that party, slav.
cry is to look for its only defense. AS
to Know Nothingism flourishing in the
South il is all mistake. Its unpre-
cedente1 success in the North. was
owing to the deep adherence Of the
course Of the administration, on the
slavery question, and those who aban.
doned the party on this ground. Eel
into the X. y. organization, more by
accident than otherwise. They may
not-most of them will not remain il
that organization, but they will never
return to the old party. Hencefortl
they will act independently, and a
once rebuke the demagogues tia
would sell them 10 the South, and thos,
who would sell them to the Catho
lies.

Every man who undertakes to con-
duet an independent paper. must face
one difficulty, thatin a pecuniary point
Of the view. will terrify most persons.
A party paper receives the support Of
the party, and persons who aspire to
Office and honor feel an interest in its
existence. Not unfrequsntly they
will take from two to ten copies, and
they labor to get others to take it,
But an Independent paper may not be
relied upon TO be at the service Of any
man or any clique in political con-
test, and hence such aspirants, take
but little interest in il. It's patrons
love to read it, but ordinarily they
take but little further interests in lis
welfare.
But when an independent paper,
takes fearless and firm stand on such
questions as are now before the peo-
pie. without asking whom il pleases
or displeases. il will have friends
Even its enemies will patronize it,
for they love open and consistent OPP
ponents.
We have been led to these remarks,
by few letters, we have received
lately, concerning our paper One
man in Fayette county. sends us
six names, saying. II have obtained
these names with but little trouble
They are my near neighbcrs. From
what they have seen of your paper,
they expect TO love it," DC. Another.
from another part Of Fayette. an en-
tire stranger TO us personally, but an
old subscriber. says: "These make ten
subscribers. and l can send you rs
many more as soon rs | get time, to
go around n little. Atpresent, am
so busy, that have seen none but
what happened TO come along where l
am at work. We love your paper in
this neighborhood." &c. A gentle.
man, in Wayne County, whom we
have never seen that we know of. but
who has seen our paper, sends us, this
week, Is names saying; 81 would just
say, that | like the Indiana american,
and am pleased with the Independent
course Il pursues, and without any do
sign 10 ilatter. | think It's editor wor.
thy the patronage ofthe friends ofgood
order, morals and religion, especially
In the Hoosier State"
These. with new subscribers reeciv-
ed through other channels, make 81
new subscribers. since we worked of
the paper last week. AS some Of
them have come in. since we worked
of the first side. this week, we may
have to supply them. with only half q
paper to begin with.
II is thus. the friends Of American
ism. freedom and temperance can do
good to their neighbors, and the cause
Of truth. Let them circulate the
American, just us long rs it is worthy
Of circulation. and no longer.
We repeat what we have often said,
We want no man TO take our paper,
merely to support it. Take il because
Il is worth two dollars, and cheap al
that. and when you get mad at some,
thing just discontinue it. and see how
bad we will feel,

To q Correspondent.

We have on file u tolerably well
written communication on Common
Schools, DC. from young man whose
mental improvement va would love to

fvs cents for correcting and publishing
it, and a copy of the paper containing
il. This may be all II is worth. but we
must decline publishing it for other
reasons. The young man lives in one

in that region. are as thoroughly new

won't take the american because they
can't get il for dollar year. We
occasionally receive an obituary notice
and wedding notice from the same
quarter; for. stingy as they are, they
will get married, and will die. These
We publish for the benefit of our read
ers. but we would serve the bereaved
or happy friends right. to throw them
away, and let them send the notices to
the city Dollar papers.
AS general thing we do not pub
lish any communication from those
who patronize city papers to the ex-
clusion OF home papers. Let them
try their cheap papers with their COM

unless the subject matter is interest

that he is In favor Of some anti.Ameri-
