The Pofafne Rot.

ltisa matter of regret as it is matter
of immense Importance to the communi-
ty, that the disease which has for several
years affected one of the most important
crops of the country. has broken out a.
gain with violence in all directions around
the city upon all sorts of soil, and nearly
all kinds of potatoes. Although there
were slight symptoms of the disease up
on the vines of few fields, no serious a.
larm has been felt until the deluge of rain
last week, which seems to have develop
ed the rot in the tubers, until they are af-
fected to dangerous eStent-in some ca
ses in fields of early potatoes now being
dug for market, it is found that one-ffth
of the potatoes have to be sorted out
some of them are completely rotten. 9th
er vegetables are affected by the same
disease. " Y Tribune.
WHIrEwAsHlNe FRuIr TREEs.-1n some
agricultural works, we find the practice of
white washing fruit trees recommended,
as a preventive of disease. In many sec.
tions this practice has prevailed extens-
lively, yet 81 ght examination viii satisfy
anv one that the fruit orchards thus treat
ed are not in better condition than those
upon which white wash has not been used.
Analogy leads us to the inference that
clean healthy skin is as indispensable to
the health and longevity of trees and
plants, as it undoubtedly is in the case OF
animals. The functions performed by
/ the skin Of the one, and the bark OF the
other, are in many respects, analogous
. and in the case Of the latter, it is generaiy
. well known that any permanent, or even
! temporary obstruction of the cutaneous
oroans, is certain to produce disease

DEAR FRIEND:-
1t is with feelings that I cannot express I
now write you. 1 hope you will excuse my
confused manner of writing, as I am as near
crazy as you ever saw a person, besides being
broken-hearted. To tell you my situation
would ill a book.
l have been trying to regain property fur
nished the Church, but there is so many band
ed together, determined to uphold each other,
right or wrong, you might just as well hold
your peace. 1 had seven hundred dollars de-
creed me and offered to take three hundred,
but have no idea I shall ever obtain one cent,
as / have not yet sworn by heaven and earth
that 1 will at the peril of my life, support the
Church, right or wrong, in all the plans they
may wish to carry out. I told them that l
could not consent to act the hypocrite or be
provider for any man or set of men. | have
been warned by several parties that if did
not hold my peace. my life would answer fol-
it; but I am determined to see the matter
through, life or death, ana see what the con-
sequences will bes
1 have sent to several friends hoping to re-
ceive some assistance to enable me to purchase
a span of mules. A ligkt wagon I can get fol
a heavy one 1 have; for provisions 1 would
trust to what 1 could shoot on the ROAD, W.
have had no meat to eat for the last three
months but dead cattle, of which there has no
been less than six on seven thousand head
starved to death the last winter. AS for bread
we have very little at any time. Hundreds o
men at this time are digging roots for a living
some fshing--some hunting-some begin:
from door to door-others bundle up thei
clothes and travel trying to sell them. 1 tool
some to sell; l had ninety pounds; I Travelled
thirty miles to Whiler Creek and there met
man with two of his wife's shifts to sell whicl
reminded me it was time to take the bacl
! track.'' On my way home 1 met a man wit
six bushels of corn; on his road to Salt Lax
City, and whose team had given out 1 bough
the corn for Sc, and when Preached home fel
quite rich. then made another trip and oh
tanned two bushels and a half for SO. This
and keeping a sharp lookout for the next dear
OK, is all my dependence till harvest.
There is a great excitement at the presen
, time, throughout the whole Church. A com
mittee has been appointed who are going fror
house to house, ascertaining what property

went to Salt Lake City, the pther lay, to
sell sons cattle hides. / was allowed by a
merchant one dollar each for tie bids, and
charged As cents for a pound of shleratis, and
60 cents for a pound Of candles, and le then
refused to let me have them on the hides, but
demanded theimoney. he informed me that
those things together with tea, coffee. sugar aad
calico, money alone could obtain, leaving it
optional with'himself as to what I should be
paid in for the hides.
That you may have some idea of the many
ways they have Of obtaining our money, / will
enumerate a few of the taxes:
A bridge spanning a stream II the city is
made a toll-bridge; on which each foot pas
senger pays ten cents for every crossing; fifty
cents for a man and horse; one dollar for a
horse and wagon, or carriage; two dollars for a
wagon and two horses, or two yoke of oxen;
then there is poll tax, police tax, water tax,
school tax, tabernacle tax, State tax, property
tax, and then comes your liabilities to the
Church, which is the tytheing, or tenth of all
you possess; also frequent calls for a few days
work, for some of the Church fuDctionaries
whom it is not easy to refuse; and when yor
have paid all these liabilities how much DE-
you think you have left for the support o
your family? The intent Of all this taxing i
to so reduce the individual that he may be-
come dependent upon them, and always a
their disposal.

unpleasantness of the weather, avery
large and respectable audience, com
posed of a goodly number of ladies:
met at the Nebraska Hotel' in this
place, on last Friday evening to enjoy
a treat of the above character, by Mr.
and Mrs. Thurber and Mr.. Hannah. The
pieces sung, and played were selected
with taste, and executed with skill

making a total aggregate Of thirty-nine
million three hundred and twenty-eight
thousand one hundred and eight acres.
On the Both of September last, surveys
had been made of sixteen millions
eight hundred and seventy-three thous-
and six hundred and ninety-nine acres,
a large proportion of which is ready
for market.
The Post Office Department shows
san excess of Expenditure v rreceipts
of two million seven hundred and
eighty-seven thousand and forty-six
dollars. Our foreign relations come
in for a small share of the Presidents
attention; giving a slight touch Of the
"Fish Treaty" between Great Britain
and the United States, showing that
Department to be in a hourishing and
amicable condition.
Efforts made to relieve Our trade of
sound dues have have not been attend
ed with success.
The Cuban disputes have not been
satisfactorily settled.
The subject of Establishing pr~ivateer-
ing" is acceded to with the following
amendment: "That the private prop
erty of subjects and citizens of a
belligerent on the high seas, shall be
exempt from seizure by the public
armed vessels of the other belligerent,
except it be c~ontraband." This propo-
sition has been submitted by our Gov
eminent to all maritime nations, and
has, so far, been ~favorably received.
The windingup of President Pierce's
final address, to the American Con-
gress, is devoted to Nicaragua, and
New Granada, two Central American
Republics. Diplomatic relations with
the former Republic are rejected on
the ground, of so much "~uncertenity
and confusion having recently pre-
vailed in that Country, the President
has not been able to decide "whichwas
the Government de factO." New Gran
ada seems to be disposed to subject
our vessels visiting her ports to a
tonnage duty of 40 cents per ton; :
a tax of "three dollars on every pound
of mail matter transported across the
Isthmus." 1t is conceived to be the
duty of the United States to resist the
execution of these laws.
The unfortunate riot, which occurred
/, at Panama on the 18th of April
f ELECTS serious consideration from the
President, charging the inhabitants O
S Panama as the instigators of the out
rageous assault upon the property o
n the Railroad Company, and the pas
sengers who were passing over thi
route; causing full Investigation of tn
5 affair and demanding summary punish
ment of the perpetrators, with pro
: visions made for the families of thos
killed, and "full indemnity for tn
property pillaged or Destroyed
Believing that the security of person
