AMELIA COUNTY. (Va..) June / 5.

To the Editor Of tie RtChntOnd EHQ~1rer.
AMELIA COUNTY. (Va..) June Is.
Gentlemen :-'The following is an extract OF a
letter from young Eirginian, "a native of this
c"unIv,) who Is now a resident OF 81. Joseph, MIS-
souri,:
{" You ask me what will be the ultimate fate Of
Kansas, and whether The pro slavery ti-sIave
ry party is in the ascendancy in the Territory =
You seem 10 think that the elections heretofore
have been carried by the MlssOurians. Such IS
the impression that Reeder and the Abolition pa.
pers in the East have endeavored TO make but
the truth is there IS an over~ hrlming ma orty OF
the people of Kansas pros larery. The Ml>snu-
rans is true, at the recent elections snttended in
large numbers the precincts; but | do not suppose
that one in hundred voted. | know that at the
precinct opposite 81. Joseph, there were not four
votes more pnlIed than there were voters in the
DISTINCT according the crnsus that the Governor
had previously taken.
But what ought to silence this sIand'rous
charge against the Mlssourians of cOnQuering Kan
sas Is the fact, that at special election held on
Thursday last, (24th May0 at Leavenworth: Che
Governor having set aside the first election as
iIlegal) The MissouriInS left the matter entirely IN
The hands of the resident 7oters. and the result
was as follows: W. G. Matthias, (prn. saveryO
55s; A. Payne, (do.) $50 Fl. d. McMakin, (do)
$50: EdsaIl, 0rersoIl) I4O; Gould, (dO } l39;
Pennock, (do) 14l. Kansas, then, must be
slave State for the simple reason that 'he people
will have it so. Congress will be bound to admit
her as slave Stale, unless, in the meantime, the
Kansas Nebraska act should be repealed; and
do not think there is any danger OF that Tor The
present, because the United States Senate has
large majority in favor OF the principle involved
in The Douglas bill. You see IN this the wisdom
of the patriotic statesmen that formed The CcAst'-
tuiion The Know NothiDgs and AboHii"nls'S
may have an overwhelming majority IN the lower
House, but that conservative body, the Senate
will protect the country from the fanaIcal legsia'
ton of The popular branch. Should then, hanSaS
apply for admission, with the Kansas Nebraska
act unrepeaIed, her exclusion or restrIcuoh oy
Congress. would be wanton violation OF goou
faith and of Constitutional Obligations lha eau
not believe the General Government unoer any !
would far compromise us 'n
tegrity.

Trimming Apple Trees.

Apple trees may be trimmed in any month IN
the year, provided 10 limbs are cut--siII we pro-
fer May and June 10 other months, 6ecuuse tho
trees are then growing and the wounds are sooner
covered.
You need not fear their bleeding when the leaf
is out for leaves take up The sap last as il is
made. You will find that grape vine does not
bleed on beiEg trimmed after the leaf comes out.
One great error Of orchardlss should be
rrcted. They neglect TO trim annually. At length,
finding the trees bear but ht:e fruit, and that the
limbs are 100 close and interfering with each 9TH
er, a great onslaught is made. Large limbs arc
cut and large wounds produced. All this ar.
ses from a neglect of annual trimming. For
when this is attended TO, no large limbs need cut
ting You never should cut a limb that is more
than an inch in diameter. and then you need no
plaster to cover the wound. In healthy trees the
cut Will be closed up within two years, and there
Is no danger Of rot.
But you may say you have an orchard
that has been neglected, and you must prune
thoroughly in order to make it bear. No. Let
the large limbs alone ; you never help neglected
tree by cutting large limbs. Thin out The smaller
shoots, and let the old limbs alone. BY cutting
you run the risk OF producing more rotten wood
than fruit.
When you trim a tree, take ca and not wound
the limbs that you stand on-and let man climb
up tree with heavy boots or shoes. lIo will do
more mischief with the nails in his boots, than ser.
vice in thinning the branches. Thin shoes or
