You've TREEs.-Tle first res)edy, which
we find IN the Massachusetts Ploughman,
is this
ITO prevent rabbits from barking young
fruit trees, give the body of the Young
tree a thorough rubbing with soft soap
This not only prevents the rabbits from
barking them, but it protects them against
insects, takes all the rough scales off, soft
ems the bark, and renders them much more
thrifty Than they would be otherwise
This simple recipe will be Of vast value to
the farmers in many parts of the Vest

from E. A. Riyes:-
Il tear up old newspapers in strips ff-
teen or eighteen inches long, and wrap
them around the body of the tree, com
mencing at the ground, aud securing it
with common Irvine. The paper will

I never knew a tree injured by rabbits that
was thus protected. Another advantage

Great Amount OF Coin In tho New York
Sub.Treasury,

The receipts into the sub-treasury at New. York
continue very large the eyes Of those who con.
troll our banks all over the country, indeed the
eyes of all who know any thing of cause and
effect, are watching the absorbing operation
there with the livelest interest. On Monday eve
ming the depository of the government at New.
York, known as the sub-treasury, held nearly ff-
teen millions Of dollars, being an increase in one
day over the payments of over one million Of dol,
lars. This is an amount unheard of since We were
government AS yet the Imports continue very
heavy, and New York importers are complaining
of slow sales and low prices. The Philadelphia
Ledger says:
This condition of things makes pinching times
with the New York banks and merchants for
coin, and street rates are steadily on the ad-
vance. Fortunately We have a sub-treasury.-
If all this coin went into the banks and should be
made by them, rs it would be, q base for further
discounts, the present excessive imports being un-
known, would be increased, and unconscious of
the mines swelling and glowing beneath US, the
grand explosion only would arouse US to our
ruin. Not so under the independent treasury. 1t
daily informs US of the operations Of trade, and
how extrvagantly we are expending abroad
There is timely admonition, which the banks, in
self preservation, are compelled to heed, and by
denying Accommodations to the imports and merch-
ants depending on them for current means, compel
them to pause. Thus will the drain of coin for
imports be nipped in the bud. Inconvenience and
embarrassment are no doubt felt, but they will not
in all probability last many weeks. 1--WE expect o
cessation of imports, and gradual depletion of
the sub treasury and with these the usual freedom
and ease in the New York money market. AS yet,
rates have not been much effected in this market,
but they soon will be unless there is o let up at
New York.

THE LEXINGTON FLAG.

We have received the first and second numbers
of paper with the above title, published in Lex
ington. S. c., and edited by Dreher and Leopard.
It is quite handsome sheet, and the numbers be-
fore US give promise of q more than ordinarily
able management in the editorial Department.
The newly -fcdged "quils" run knowingly upon
editorial topics; just as much 80 as if they had
been in training q twelve.month. Witness the
following paragraph -
"In assuming the position Of Editors of this
sheet, We are not altogether unaware of the na-
ture of the duties which we will have to perform,
and of the trials and perplexities to which we are
about to subject ourselves. No public relation is
more laboriOus, trying, and responsible, when its
duties are faithfully discharged, than that Of the
editor. At all times, in calm and in storm, in the
sunshine of prosperity and in the gloom of adver-
sity, he must be at the post of duty, and meet in
every respect the requirements of an exncting
public. 1t is true, he has his pleasures, and,
though few, they are intense ard pure; and the
associations of his profession are of the most de-
lghtful and elevating kind. And indeed, if it were
not for the few bright spots and pleasant memories
in his career, he would have but little to sustain
and console him for too frequently he is but
poorly .emunerated for his services, and in place
of thanks and gratitude, receives neglect and
abuse 1t is impressed with these facts, therefore,
and not from any fancied notions of life of lite
rary ease and enjoyment, that we put on the edi-
torial robe and install ourselves "knights Of the

GAN EARLY Bird &C.

Mr.. Ratchford has taken up the idea that an
early bird is apt to catch the rarest morsels; in
other words, he has "taken time by the forelock,"
and brought on small, though unusually varied,
assortment of Gentlemens' and Ladies' Dress
Goods-of the earliest Spring styles. The very
sight of the 'latest agony" of Bonnctts-at least
fifty styles, and some of them really charming-is
enough to make even mans pursc-srings snap
asunder suddenly, and each particular gold eagle
therein squeal with ineffable delight. A pretty
woman with one of those "perfect loves" about
her head, would charm hyena into perfect amia-
bility. The Ladies ought to call in and take a
look if for nothing else, at least to get an idea
of the exquisite beauties which full assortment
will unfold
Genteman's hats are there too, in equal abun-
dance-at the smallest calculation, 40 different
styles. Call in and get SAM lie.

EDITORIAL CONVENTION.

We would suggest Convention of the proprie-
tors OF newspapers in South Carolina, to be held,
say ut Columbia or Charleston. for the benefit of
the press and to to endeavor to introduce the cash
system for subscription and advertisements
There are many other things which need reform
in Newspapcrdom If body of the working men
would meet, with some object in view, and accom-
plsh something after it had met, it would be of
some benefit. We should be glad to hear from the
presses in general -NeWberry Sun.
Since the utter failure of the effort to establish
Press Association, we have to great extent lost
confidence in tho efficiency of any movement de-
signed to create a community of interest and of
conduct between the country presses in the State.
The difficulty lies in the dcbatablc proposition
whether there exists in the highest degree, that
sentiment of good faith which is requisite to a
strict adherence to prescribed rules and regula-
tions. A failure in single instance would render
null all the resolves which Convention could de-
termine upon in months discussion. Upon this
point, We are yet to be fully persuaded. ..
we have no objection, however, to the effort;
and to the desirable end we shall willingly con-
tribute whatever may be in our power With the
Laurensville Herald, we think it should be Con.
vention of country editors and propretors exclu-
sively; and held in one of the country towns-say,

MR., BOYCE,s SPEECH.

We have read the speech of our Representative,
on the Tariff; and though treating an utterly
hackneyed theme, We confess that We found the
perusal pleasure as well rs n means Of solid in.
struction. The propositions arc not new, and they
are startling only rs clearer exhibitions of the
Impending evils which tariff for protection threat;
ems to precipitatc upon the country yet, the
style of the argument is peculiarly attractive and
excellent-tersc, logical and Of great force-and
the entire effort exhibits depth of thought and
an extent Of research and political learning which
materially enhances Mr.. Boyccs reputation, and
gives him stronger title to the confidence of his
constituency. If possible, We shall find room for
the entire speech. Meantime, our readers will
find the main argument included in the following
epitome:-
Mr. Boyce starts out by showing that the sur
plus in the treasury amounts now to SIS, ,0OO 900;
that in June, 1858, it will amount to S43, 995 900;
that this is raised from the labor Of the country
that the withdrawal of so much capital from bu-
siness will tend to cause commercial crisis that
such fund will induce corruption into the gov
ernment and collected from articles of prime
necessity, and from rates which diminish import,
it is unwise and improbable; and for these rea-
sons if for other, the policy of protection ought
to be abandoned. In reference to the main prin-
cipe of that policy, he speaks as follows:
now propose, Mr.. Chairman, to consider the
report from the majority Of the Committee of
Ways and Means on this subject That report
rests upon the idea that the protective policy is
wise policy and that the tariff should be modified
in subservience to that policy. wish to examine
that question; and if destroy the foundation up
on which the report rests then the superstructure
erected upon it must fall to the ground. To put
the argument in the most striking and comprehen-
sible light, will state it in simple and practical
form. Certain persons wishing to 60 into manu-
featuring, ask Government to aid them in O busi-
ness naturally Improbable by preventing the con-
sumers of the country from buying foreign goods
cheap, in order that those consumers may be COM
PEELED to buy their goods dear. These are the
three propositions necessarily involved in the de-
mand for protection. Let us examine them =.

TO THE PUBLIC.

We take pleasure in announcing to the friends
of the ENQUIRER that we have associated with US
Mr.. JOSEPH II. Black native and resident Of
this District. This arrangement has been made
in order that we may, without detriment to the
paper perform efficiently other and urgent duties
devolving upon us; as we'll as that we may bring
into the public service laborer whose abilities
are, we think, in every respect eminent and COM
manding. Mr.. BLACK is member of family,
we'll known in this District and in many portions
OF the State, and distinguished for those talents
energy, perseverance, and peculiar tact in business
which are the indispensable agents of success
full enterprise A graduate of the Erskine College,
he will bring to his task the aids of on unusually
thorough education and unusually varied acquire
ments; and, though quite young man, he will
have the benefit of considerable experience in edi-
tolial life.
The arrangement will 60 into operation with
the ne1tissue, when our co-laborer will, with more
of propriety, speak for himself. Meantime, we
would ask for him generous reception into the
circle of our friends; and for the new copartner-
ship, the same kindly encouragement which has
hitherto cheercd and rewarded our labors.
The business affairs Of the paper will be con-
ducted under the firm of Jyo. L. MILLER s Co.

HOIST, AGAIN.

Our eccentric friend, Hoist, has added another to
the stock Of sensible things of which the Stand
ard has been spokssman-another ''spoke in the
wheel" which is rolling on in The way of moral
and social reform. He again touches up theme,
and discusses it in a style, which BELTS the good
ly town of Yorkville as we'll. The last paragraph
refers to the action of the Chester Council, re-
Gently, in playing havoc with gambling den in
that vicinity. But, to the ''marrow Of the bone:
sTo act the reformer is at any time an irksome
task: Serernus and John Huss were burnt Mar
tin Luther had to flee for his life but those times
are gone by, n new era has dawned upon the
world, the civil right.of man must be respected.
Intendant and Wardens of Chester, you are sus-
tained in your acts Of reformation by stronger
influence than the will of sceptre and crown, the
power of PUBLIC OPINION!
Not only the citizens of Chester but the whole
country are rejoiced at your action. Now, says
the country gentleman, my wife and daughters
can come into your town to do their purchases
without being stared at by the drunken men, or
hear obscene remarks made when passing crowd
of the Lords of Creation, emitting the sweet odor
of bad liquor and tobacco juice; others say, our
negroes can now come in and attend TO business

This is strong language but it is the truth and
can prove it. A very intelligent gentleman who
lives few miles from Chester, told me himself,

the people, but dare not Why? My negroes
get drunk, so the wood remains at home" Here
is very small item, but still the citizens suffer-
Who don't recollect the cold snap few weeks ago
every body was running after load of wood as
if it was California gold. If that man had not been
driven out Of market by liquor, you would have
had three more loads of wood every day.
Parents can now send their sons and daughters
to our academies without the first being ruined by
evil example, or the other offended by indecent
conduct in our streets. Chester is like Richard
in the play, Herself again! atleast for twelve
months

thanks and prayers Of many wife and mother.

THE CORRUPTION COMMITTEE

|. The Committee appointed oy the House OF Rep
resentati7es, to investigate the charges of corrup
ion against that body, have, after an earnest and
laborious inquiry, made their report. presenting
an array of facts which are of the most startling
character. Messrs. Gilbert, Edwards and Matte-
son, of New York, and Wslch, of Connecticut, arc
the members specially named; against whom reso-
lutions of expulsion have been reported. OF
course, the report was followed by much excite.
ment and debate, which have not reached the high.
est point. The following apt remarks are from
the Carolina Times: ....
The report recommends the expulsion of four
members. They are Edwards, Gilbert and Matti-
son Of N. York, and Welsh of Connecticut. Simon
ton, the Reporter of the N. York Times, who was
instrumental in having the charges brought and
investigated, is also recommended for expulsion
from the privileges Of the floor Reporter; they
are all Black Republicans, as was suspected from
the beginning. -. ,..s
Francis S. Edwards represented the 33d Dis
trict of New York, and was the Black Republican
candidate William A. Gilbert represents the 23d
District, also nominated and elected because he
was Black Republican; Orsamus B. Matteson
represents The Goth Dtrict, nominated aud elect
ed because he was Black Republican.
W. ". Welsh represents the 4th Congressional
District of Connecticut, and was also nominated
and elected because he was Black Republican
We have not the least doubt that these men are
very fair average examples Of the morals that OBJ
tain in that unpriuciplcd party. We need not,
perhaps, repeat what is already known to NEST Of
our readers, that this SimontOn is the Washington
correspondent of the New York Times, and that lie
made the first public charges of Congressional COR
rupion, through the columns eff that paper. He
was then arrested by order of the House, and con-
fined for several days in the custody Of the Ser
geant.at-Arms of the House, for refusing to testi
ty before the investigating Committee. 1t is said
that lie was once tailor in the city OF New York.
We take occasion to repeat what we expressed
heretofore in tbs connection-our sincere graft
fcation that no Southern man and no Democrat has
been Implicated in these most dsgracsm disclosures.
