There is an apple tree on the north bank

"old Indian Apple Tree" and when Gen

S. Sutherland, of Richmond, Va, gives
the following rule to load a gun properly
"Try it repeatedly with charges, consist
ing ofequal bulks Of powder and shot, till
you come to quantity with which the gun
will not recoil, or but slightly; this will give
you the proper quantity of shot With this
load, however, the gun will scatter in all
directions. To correct this, reduce the
quantity of powder until you find that the
shot is carried as close rs you desire. A
gun loaded thus will never burst. To make
it carry further use shot of larger size
No gun should be fired moro than twenty
times without being wiped out. When in
the field, it will be much safer to carry the
piece always at half-cock."

ANOTHER LAND SPEcULATIoN.-Anoth-
or large speculation Of land sold to Govern
ment for war purposes, has boen discovered.
The Secretary of War contracted with par
ties for the purchase of a site for fort at
Line Point opposite the Gate of San Fran
cisco, for two hundred thousand dollars, to
be paid as soon as they could show clear
title, which the District Attornev is now ex-
amining. The land purchased it is said,

Tno wall Robber Tuckerman.

The case Of VIM. s. Tuckerman, indicted
for the robbery of the U. s. Mails between
Boston and Now York, is singular one.-
Tho evidence against him was fatal, and
shows that he carried on the depredations
systematically. 1t is supposed that he took
thirteen missing mails, and he accumulated
thirty-fve hundred dollars in letter stamps
when arrested. He kept memorandum
of the profit and loss attending each depre.
dation, and retained documents, books, and
daguerrootypes, &c., which served to convict
him. His taste led him to preserve love
letters taken from the mails, though he
destroyed most of tho contents of the sto-
len bags. In one instance his memorandum
shows that he took six fifty dollar bills from
letter, though tho total amount obtained
in cash is supposed not to have been very
large. In giving IN account of the trial a
New Haven correspondent Of the Trdveler
says:
Perhaps II may not be out Of place hero
TO give word of advice to certain class
of persons in the community-ladies and
gentlemen who have amours not authorized
by the parson-that if they do not want to
have their sentiments exposed, they will do
well not to put them into the mail-bags.-
If all tho letters in the thirteen missing
mails were printed, certain persons in GER
tain localities undoubtedly would hardly
fail to change color in the presence of their
friends.
But enough. On Tuesday next the poor
man, who has recklessly wasted his great
opportunities, will DO taken to his prison
house. Ho has just reached the halfway
house of life, for he is in his thirty-ffth
year, while three score and ten is tho sum
of n lifetime. Ho has slid with almost un-
parallelIed rapidity from post of honor,
responsibility and influence, to meet the
Just reward of his deserts. 1t isa sad sight
and solemn lesson. Thus retrbution
sooner or lator follows all yiolators of law.
Tuckerman has been sentenced to hard
labor in the State Prison, for the term of 81
years. A long sentence, which will probab-
ibly bo shortened by pardon in due time.

Il will be seen from the Congressioh-
81 proceedings published in to-day's pa
per, that the Lecompton contrivanos
known as English's bill passed the House
by vote ofl12 to 1O3, and the Senate
by vote Of 80 to %. Originally, there
were twenty-five anti-Lecompton dem
ocrats in the House who stood up in op-
position, and declared they would vote
for no bill, which did not fairly submit
the question ofthe constitution, to vote
of the people, agreeable to the princi.
pies OF the Kansas Nebraska act. Oh
these twenty-five, only twelve held GU,
to the end. Some of the recreant anti.
Lecomptonites, protested most deter
mined hostility to the proposition of Mr.
English from the Committee of Confer
ence, nearly up to the final action ofthe
House, and their sudden conversion ha,
caused no little remark. There are how
ever influences which have more powe,

was confidently asserted that the Defc

DEMOCRATIC Notwithstanding to
the Buchanan democracy in Congress-,
Kansas with population of IS, 900, may
properly come into the Union, provided
it will come in as slave state; but
should it be SO prssumptous as to choose
to come in as free State, then about
100000 is the number of inhabitants re-
CURED. Sc it seems, it takes abou,
three free State men, to equal one disci-
pie Of Slavery, in the estimation of oul

repeated that it did not entirely meet
his views. In his letter to the Ohio
Statesman, he gave his opinion and OBJ
iections. At that time, his first impress
sion was against the report because he
thought it disseminated against free,
and In favor of slave State.
The Constitution was practically and
though not in form submitted to the
people of Kansas, they would have a
chance to kill it.
He asked Mr.. Haskin whether there
had been falsehood or recreancy on his
part.
Mr.. Haskin-I leave that to the coun-
try to judge.
Mr.. Cox, with earnest and excited
calculations, made reply which was
lost in the greatest possible confusion.
The Speaker loudly raped, and said
hewouldprohibit anylanguage approach
ing to personalities.
Mr.. Adrian, amid cries Of "order,"
hoped Mr.. Haskin would give way for
him to say few words.
Mr.. Burnett, of KY, loudly objected,
as did other gentlemen auid the confu-
sion.
Mr.. Adrian raised his voice to the
highest pitch and said no improper mo-
tive should be attributed to Cox. From
the first moment of his intercourse with
him he believed him pure, high-mind.
ed, honorable gentleman, and, although
Cox had changed his views on the sub
ject he had perfect right to do so.
Mr.. Haskin gave his reasons why he
should vote against the report.
The submission of ohe Constitution
in the way proposed, was of thimble-
rigging character, and an attempt to
reach by indirect action what the South
should attempt directly. 1t was because
he wanted to see the democratic party
triumph in 1860 that he was against the
passage of the bill, and twelve or thir-
teen anti-Lecompton democrats would
oppose it to the end.
The demand for the previous question
was seconded.
Voices-"Now well have a vote,
"order," 'take>your Seats" &c.
The Speaker repeatedly raped, and
called for order. During the roll cal
the House was unusually quiet. Before
