The weather has been quite warm for the past
week, and lie crops, though backward are qnite pro-
missing. N
On Tuesday morning, about o'clock, the
carriage mandatory of our fellow-citizen, R. Bau
mann, was discovered TO be on fire. The flames had
made such progress, that everything in the main
building was destroyed tools, materials, books, and
large number OF carriages and bnggies. The loss
is estimated at about $4,000, on which there no
insurance. 1t was evidently the work Of an incen
diary for no fire had been used id the carriage shop
during the day.

TIE PopPY-The Patent Office has received a
letter in relation to the cultivatonof the poppy in
Germany. We copy the following extract
The poppy is cultivated in southern Germany to a
large extent, and has been in possession for about
half century as it is the best surrogate for sweet
oil, andshas supplanted the use Of the imported olive
all the great cities Of The United States and if the
cultivation here should be improved would find always
o ready market and remuperatve price. The soil
and the climate Of the New England States are highly
suited for the culture Of this article and they would
be able to provide the whole Union with sweet oil,
and therefore large sum Of money, which goes
to France and Italy.

TIE DATE TREE.-The date tree belongs to the
family of palms, and grows fftyor sixty feet high
with rugged trunk crowned with leaves six feet
long. The flowers start out from the trunk between
the leaves, and bear fruit like berries on stems and
come in bearing at six to ten years old and continue
centpry producing several hundred pounds of dates
to tree every year. In Barbary the people use the
products of the date tree for many purposes as fol-
lows: They form handsome beads Of the stones.
From the leaves they make couches, baskets bags,
mats, brushes and aytraps; the trunk is split, and
employed in erecting small buildings, also for fences
to gardens and the stems of the leaves are used for
making cages for their poultry. The threads of the
wepslike integunent at the base OF the leaves are
twisted into ropes, which are employed in rigging
small vessels. The amyiaceous central part Of the
trunk is also good to eat and the buds are esteemed
delicate vegetable: and even the young shoots are
said to resemble asparagus. The sap which is sweet
ish when first collected, may be drank as mild bev-
erage aud is distilled into kind of SPIRIT known in
Eastern countries by the name of ssarrackn Dates
are among the staple articles of food in countries
where the tree grows naturally #

STOCKS AND AMERICAN SECURITIES IN GERMANY.
The following relating to the prices OF
stocks and American securities has been received
Gently By the State Department. from an intelligent
correspondent at Frankfort, under date of June 4:
The general tendency on Change last week was
decidedly downward-less for government securities
than for bank and "enterprsen shares. Business was
without any aniinatio and appears to be getting fiat
ter every day It Is pow anticipated that during the
hot weather the stock exchange will enjoy almost
perfect calm. ss
The transactions in American bonds, ETC., have
been SO tfiHing as not to be worth mentioning. The
threatening Reputation Of the city of Pittsburg
servesto heghten the general dstrust # such cases
are to happen often, German capitalists will make
further Investments in American securities. The high
estrate Of interest will hardly tempt any one to
leopard their capital.
Theaction ofthe California Senate has been watched
with much anxiety by those interested here and its
late vote has given great satisfaction not only to the
bondholders but to every American in this quarter

colum. 1t seems shat the Federal Government, A.

Court, rendered by Judge Miller. for two ysars.
or more. has at length attempted itin one Of tho
cases. There were two cases-one for damages to
the slave-claimants, and the other Of q criminal
character both of which were declared worthless
by the Supreme Court of Wisconsin, in conss-
quence of the unconstitutionality Of the Fugitive
Slave Law under which they were brought. Since
the election is over it seems the Federal Govern.
ment is disposed 20 try a bout with the State of
Wisconsin and test her spunk. The printing e.

satisfy the judgment Of Judge Miller in favor Of

No person, held to service or labor, in ono State,
under the laws thereof, escaping into another.
shall by any law therein be discharged from
such service or labor, but shall be delivered up,
on claim of the party to whom such service or
labor may be due.

pro-slavery character. With a continuance Of the
Editors generosity, ! had concluded to "a briefly
as possible give the opposite view, especially when.
es it too often happens, the air of argument is as
sumed when nothing tangible is to be offered, but
sheer assumption, in defense of this very old posi-.
ton. Mr.. Cowles says after its quotation, that

no Legislature of any State, shall pass any
law to protect the liberty of a runaway ~slare."

From the Milwaukee Democrat
DISUNION.

The growth of the Disunion sentiment in this
country is remarkable. In 1912, the venerable
John Quincy Adams scarcely escaped expulsion
from the House of Representatives, because he
asked leave 10 present a petition of a few citizens
from Massachusetts,, for tho Dissolution of the
Union. Nine days was the Old Man Eloquent
the noble champion of the Right of Petition, ar
rAyed at the bar of the House, as guilty Of treason,
but finally his eloquence triumphed over the mach
nations OF the shareholders. Some ten years ago,
Abolitionists were mobbed in nearly all parts OF
the North, upon mere suspicion of being Disun.
ionists, even if they disclaimed all such inten-
tons. But now, we believe that pablo opinion
has become sufficiently tolerant to permit the open
discussion of the question in most parts of the
Free States. This change of public opinion has
been produced by the constant agitation of the
slavery question on the one hand, and the aggres.
siOns of the Slave Power On the other. AT present,
there are but comparatively few persons in the
Union in. favor of its dissolution, but unless meas
uros are devised to gradually abolish slavery, their
numbers will continue to increase.
But we Go not wish to discuss, in this essay, the
'practicability' of dissolving the Union but merely
sustain the right of the people to deliberate upon
the subject, The Republican press, we are sorry
to say, has not treated the distinguished mer who
believe that the people of this country would he
benefited by an abrogation of the present Consti-
tuition with sufficient candor and we are actually
sick, to hear prominent Republican Senators, day
after day, assert that they are not Disunicnists,
when they ought to treat such loose charges with
the silent contempt they merit. As for the pseudo
Democratic press, the Union hobby has long been
its only stock in trade, and of course it holds up
its hands in holy horror when the right of free
discussion is claimed upon this, as upon all other
subjects.

WHIPPING A SLAVE TO DEATH IN sA.
VANNAH.

We stated yesterday that Michel Boylan and
Phillip Martin had been arrested for the murder OF
a negro, the slave of the former, named Stepney.
An examination was held Yesterday, before Justic-
es Russell. Hart and Reedy. Drs. Howard, Carl
ton and johnson, who made an examination of the
body of the deceased, testified that in their opin-
ion the beating inflicted was sufficient to cause
death. Several witnesses were examined, the
substances of whose testimony was to the follow
ing effect:-The negro Stepney was n runaway
He was arrested on Wednesday morning by Con-
stable Jones and taken to Mr.. Boylan, his owner,
who employed the officer to whip him. Constable
Jones gave him some thirty lashes with a riding
whip or a NAL cowhide. In the afternoon Of the
same day several witnesses saw the negro tied by
the hands to a tree, and the prisoner Martin, beat
ing him with a heavy trace strap. One witness,
Mr.. Robert Curry, testified that when he came up
to Boylan's place, he saw Martin heating the ne
gro in a most cruel manner, while b ,ylau stood at
a short distance looking on. Witness remonstra-
ted with Boylan against the inhumanity of the pun
ishment, when the negro was released and fell to
the ground, speechless and PROSTATE. Martin or
dered him to rise, and afterwards dealt him sever
al blows with q wagon whip while he lny on tina
ground insensible. Martin then dragged him
from the place into the house where be died oE
Thursday morning. Sergent Wilson one of the
police, having been notified of the murder, repair.
ed to the place, and found the negro living upon
the floor, his body still warm, and q coffin in read
mess for his burial. Returning to the city, he re.
ported to the Solicitor General, who promptly or
dered the arrest of Boylan.
Boylan was arrested by the officer, who, learn
ing from the conversation between Boylan and
Martin, that the latter was implicated in the af
mony the case was submitted without argument
to the magistrates who committed the prisoners to
answer the charge Of murder in the Superior Court.

seized and sold by virtue Of n roid lop-that is by
no tdw-why not by virtue Of the last years AL
manacf Aud If the State has no power to protect
its citizens against such an outrage, by what au-
thority and right does it undertake to punish ordi.
nary theft and robbery
We call to mind the spirit and language of tho
Republican Press, on this subject, two years ago.
Was it principle or was it policy, which reused it
to such stirring language and such stern resistance
against the attempted enforcement of the Fugitive
Act, then? Has the Slave Power grown more
reasonable and more regardiul Of our liberties,
within the last two years? Rather has 1t not COM
mitted fresh o~utrages against Liberty, and shown
itself more determined than ever, to wage relent-
less and exterminating war upon the rights OF the
people Of the free States2
This controversy concerns not US alone. Every
citizen Of the State, who values Liberty for him
self and his posterity, has n deep interest in it's
right issue. To-day, tho Slave Power selects us
us its victim. Tomorrow, or next year, it may
seize upon any citizen of Wisconsin, and take
from him Liberty and property. at the command
of the vilest slave. hunter. Shall the principle Of
Liberty be established now and forever, on the
free soil of Wisconsin, or shall our State Sover-
eighty and our Supreme Court be made a nullity,
at the dictum of Judge Miller, and slave.drivers
and slave catchers let loose their blood hounds
among us. and clank their handouts and chains in
our ears, as music most BETTING a people who
have not the courage to protect their persons from
insult, and their liberties from outrago2
We %suhjoin the following extract Of a private
business letter, from a citizen who has held high
official station in this State. as a sample Of the
suggestions made to us by friends of Freedom, in
different parts of the State.
II regret to observe that you are still an object
of legal proSecution-tba your press and steam
engine have been seized in execution, and are off
cred for sale. ] trust our State Courts will pro-
tect you in this matter; but the annoynnces, EN-
barrassments and losses which you have suffered
in this affair, from first to last, will be far from en-,
ccuraging on the part of others, any similar iesis-
tance 20 the enforcement Of the internal Fugitive
Slave enactment. AS q matter of public policy
and duty, now that our Supreme Court has deci-
ded this enactment to be unconstitutional and void
our citizens should be protected in their disregard
OF, and opposition to it; and any and al expenccs
incident to the defence of those who,
in this regard, may become objects of Federal per.
or prosecution, or who may be mulcted
in n u. S. Court at the suit of some slaveowner or
driver. should bo met by appropriations Of our
Legislature, and be paid out of thu public treas.
