Kilham's Orchards.

About week since we paid Wit to the
orchards of Mr. Horace Kilham, at Tu>>el
Hill, about one mile and half from jackson,
and were richly repaid for the trouble. Mr..
KiIham has between eight hundred and one
thousand peach trees, of the respective ages
of one, two and three years-the greater por-
ton being of two and three years growth.
Healthier or more thrifty trees never grew
the growth of single year has been, in some
instances, so extraordinary that we dare not
state it, for fear of being charged with exag-
geration. The soil and climate of this imne-
date vicinity are evidently peculiarly adapted
to the cultivation of the peach. When Mr..
Kilham first planted the pits, people laughed
at what they supposed his folly; but now the
laugh is the other way. Last year he sold a
considerable quantity of fruit, and this year
his trees are literally loaded. 1t will yield
what many would consider handsome little
fortune.
Mr. Kilham has also seventy-five apple
trees and two hundred grape vines, besides
pears, cherries, &c, all of which are flourish
ing finely. Mr. K deserves much credit for
the enterprise he has manifested in the cult
vation of fruit, by which means it has been
ascertained that this locality is eminently
adapted to its growth.
When the fruit ripens, we shall again visit
Mr.. KS orchard; that is, "if the court know
herself and she think she do"
Mr.. Kilham is very pleasantly situated,
with most of the comforts of home about him.
We noticed but one thing mssing-if there
was any better half" about the house she
kept herself out of sight. If Mr.. X. has
been remss in this respect, he should at once
"hie him to the domicl Of some fair maid" +"
and at once make amends for past miscon-
duct He has too pretty place to be en-
joyed all alone"

FROM SAN JUAN.

New YxRK, Jan. 24.-The James Adger left
San Juan on the 18th. She put into Key West
and was detained there 50 hours.
The Purscr reports cholera disappeared on the
Tsthmus, and but little sickness. No deaths on
the Adger.
Walker is represented to be in better con-
dition, having 1900 able hOdicd men at RiVas,
well supplied with ammunition and provisions.
Col. Lockridge, with 800 men, was still wait
| ing at Punta Arenas for the completion Of a
steamer to be ready about the 18th.
The Adger encountered great fields Of ice on
her homeward passage, between lat. 81 and 80.
The passengers of the james Adger give gloo-
my account of Walkers situation
The seizure of the transit route aud steam
boats by Spencer is confirmed. Spencer states
openly hc acted in behalf Of Vanderbilt.
No injury was offered to passengers iE
the captured boats, but they were escorted
to Greytown where the steamer was board
cd by officers from British man-of-war,
who ordered the baggage of tho men 10 be
put off Immediately. Spencer kept the Amer
lean flag flying from his steamer, although Re
made the captures in the naInc Of Cost Rica.
The Costa Rican government had issued n
proclamation granting pardon to Walkers men
and free passage back to the States.
Many of Walkers men, both officers and pri-
Yates were deserving.
Walker was still at Rivas with 60 men. An
other account says 1900.
Spencer states that the Costa Ricans have
800 troops posted along the route They are
also in strong force at Seraqui, and have guns
posted on both shores. The report that Gen.
bennington had fought his way out of Grenada,
and joined Walker, is confirmed; as is also the
rumor that Gen. Chillcn, with large body Of
men, had pronounced for Walker at Leon.
Walker, it is said, rctoOk Rivas without losing
q man.
Capt Saunders, with his rifles, had advanced
to Leon, to occupy that post
The foregoing dispatch is made up from a
statement of several returned Nicaraguans, who
give very conflicting stories.
