The Decay of American Orchards.

DR.. John A. Warder, the eminent Ohio
pomologist, writing in late pumber of the
C,Rcinnatus upon the decadence of orchards
in this country, gives the prominent causes
Of failure in the following summary:
In this essay, have passed in rapid re-
view, with some occasional amplifcations
the chief cause of the premature decay of
apple orchards, which may be attributed to
a want orproper selections and preparation
of the soil, to neglect of cultivation to ex-
haustion OF the soil; to want Of manure
judiciously applied, under the guidance of
analyses that indicate the special manure or
plaut-tood required to excessive fruitage
and early maturity of the tree to old age;
TO the effects Of grating aud the use of bad
stock 10 our breeding trees for fruit, rather
than for hardihess, vigor and wood growth
10 sickly sorts being propagated; to cold
and sudden alterations TO excessive hu-
midity; to disease in the trees and fruit
to the ravages OF insects of various kinds
upon the trees aud fruit, and, lastly to bad
aud injudicious pruning.
With all these evils to which our orchards
are so generally subjected, it is not surpris-
ing that we should often find them in a
state of premature decay, nor that we
should hear complaints of their Being no
longer profitable; but vino wonld expect a
crop of corn or wheat to be remunerative
under similar unfHvorable circumstances, or
when subject TO such utter neglect2 No
sensible farmer, surely.

The WINASs SrsAMER.-The Baltimore
Patriot gives an account of trial trip of
this novel steamer, from which we extract
the following
The hull has been heightened some one
hundred and twenty-five feet, we believe,
and it now makes quite formidable appear
ance on the water. 1t foated like duck,
and obeyed the helm with the iustantane-
business of the human will. As it came
head on toward us several times during this
trial trip up and down the river, we
had clear view of its propeiIing wheel.
1t revolved with all the majesty of huge
millwheel, right about the center of the
hull, and so favorably set were the floats,
that it scarcely lifted the water at ali on the
emerging side. There was some sensible ir-
regularity at times in the revolution of the
propeller, evidently arising from the cranks
passing the dead points. When they would
turn her short round she slightly listed, but
it was surprising TO see in what a short
space she would go round. On the stretch
coming in her velocity was terrible, if one
may so speak

THs GALLANT AND GIFTED GoaGIx >
on THE CHARACTER OF Mr. LIXcoLN.-The
Hon. ". L. Goggin, the opponent of John
Letcher, in the last Gubernatorial contest
in Virginia, made a speech the other day,
in which he gave his opinion of all the can
didates for the Presidency. He said of Mr..
Lincoln:
There is another candidate before you.
Laughter, and cries of He is a smutty
one Oh, do lot suppose that Abe shall
be forgotten. | shall now come to him,
and, let me give the devil his due. During
the whole course of my connection with
him in the House of Representatives, must
say that | ever found him gentleman; he
is not what the Breckenridge party insinu-
ate him TO be; wish to do justice on all
sides. LCheers. If you want to know
who Mr.. Lincoln is, go and ask Stephen
A. Douglas, with whom be stumped every
county in the State of Illinois. Yes, go
and ask Mr.. Douglas whether Abe Lincoln
is a rail-splitter or not. Laughter. Ask
him whether be is Democrat, 1. e. mauler
or not? Renewed laughter.l 1t was my
good fortune, while | was a member of the
House of Representatives, to be a member
of a committee with him; l WAS Chairman,
and | must say that no man on that Com~
mittee worked more industrIously than he
did. He was man of high order Of talent
and when he spoke, no man was listened to
by those who were in that House as visitors
with more satisfaction. His private as well
as his public character was free from stain
or blemish.

ErOxygen, as an antidote to chloroform,
has been employed by NJ. Ozanam, his eX-

that respiration had become very feeble, the

mends that sufficient quantity OF oxygen
should be placed at the disposal of the sur
Reon, whenever lie employs cAloroiorm or

The writer OF this, knowing the great
visifYing influence Of oxygen, has thought
from the year l8+9, when Ire saw the terri

era, that oxygen properly applied would
cure the disease; that is, that pure oxygen

SoCATTER SOVEREIGNTY IN l854.-While
the Nebraska bill was under consideration
in the Senate, Mr.. Chase, of Ohio, offered
the following amendment:
The people of a Territory, through their
appropriate representatives, if they see fit,
may prohibit the existence of slavery there
in"
This WAS popular sovereignty, pure and
undisguised, yet we find every Democratic
Senator, Judge Douglas included, voting
against it, while every Black Republican
Senator voted for it. Now, Judge Douglas
is trying 10 foist this miserable Black Re-
publican dogma upon the Democratic party,
and threatens to break up and destroy the
organization unless it is received Oid

Hard Times and the CEelit system
In former article On this subject, re-
marked that the great cause of hard times
was overtrading, the credit system, and ex-
travagance. But we must bear IN mind
that all this has to be charged to the credit
system account; for credit begets. exuava-
gance, and overtrading is the consequence OF
both. Where prompt payments are the
rule, mans "reckoning is always made
up for although he may trade or speculate
/ hazardously as it regards himself It does
not pecuniarily affect his neighbor, for he
cannot stretch beyond his means Such a
course would keep mercantile men and mer-
camille business safe, and greatly curtail the
business of the courts. But, says the "cus-
toner, you entirely overlook our interest
in the arrangement. | beg the customers
pardon, for he would receive the greatest
share of the profits. The merchant would
be benefited in point of safety, but the Gus
toner in point of economy. Some of our
best financiers entertained the hope that
the banking system (which is credit on an
extensive scale) would be curtailed in pro-
portion to the influx of California gold, but
the very reverse has been the fact, snd what
with our additional deposits and extensive
exchanges (for want of National issuel
the greater part OF our California gold is
swallowed up. But, says one, it increases
cur circulating medium. This only adds to
the danger. Although DR.. Franklin lent
all his aid to establish paper currency, he
remarked am convinced there are limits
beyond which paper money wonld be pre-
judicial He did not define those limits
but | am persuaded that whenever our cir
culating medium gets above the par of other
nations, we have reached that point Like
every thing else it would find its level and
the best part of our currency wonld flow
out. Spectators from other nations could
bring in their commodities and trade at a
profit, and not only carry off our specie but
food the country with articles of which we
bad already surplus. | fear that at pres
ent great deal of our specie is flowing out
of the country, both from the causes above
alluded to and fIom an increasing mania for
" French Goods"
With SO many influences at work, the
wonder is, not that pressures and contrac-
tions in the currency occur, but that they do
not occur more frequently. F..

auAlehce IN 4 speech an uOuF iOuS- i-e
spoke in his tamiliur, colloquial style, and
took very conservative ground on. the sub
ject OF slavery. He believed the Fugitive
Slave Law should be faithfully executed; ;
Slavery should not be interfered with in the
States if instructions arise in the South,
the North should help to pat them down.
lie would, in mercy to the South, hem her
in with free States, so that free white people
could march to Ler relief in case of SER

Republicans said, enjoy your institution, but
don't extend it. The South was, he said.
like man with a wen ON his neck which
he had iAherited. If it stays there it will
kill him, if he cuts it off it may kill him.
He (Mr. g. didn't want all our future states
to come in with wens on their necks.
In the course of his remarks, he said he
had spent FIVE weeks in New York, and kneav
the coalition there against the Republicans
would not amount 10 anything. The Dick
inson Haris wouldn't enter into it. Hon
est Bell and Douglas men couldn't be in
Yeigled into it. lie said in New York
thousands.of Bell men wouldn't say much,
but would quietly vote for the man they
liked nert (Tiucoln) to the man they liked
best (BelD. So it ought to be in Indiana.
The speaker proceeded to treat his audi
encc 10 a speech full of reason, and
adorned by humor. We can not notice it
further.
After music, the dispIay OF fireworks
cnme off. Roman candies, rockets, blue
lights, and serpent7, flied the air with
blaze of fire, which, together with the glare
of some hundreds of lamps, formed a scene
of dazzling hrilliancy
After this, Col. Allen was called for and
responded. He delivered, after the regular
sermons, an exhortation, in spirit-stirring
language, urging every man to do his duly
between now and the election. He particu-
larly impressed on the minds Of his hearers
the importance of organization, which re-
-ommendation vas both necessary and
timel =.
While Col. Allen was speaking, the dele
cation from Lamasco came in. They had
been listening to good speaking and We're
full of enthusiasm. The Colonel closed his
eloquent remarks and the Wide Awake
Battalion formed into column tor the pur-
pose OF marching around town and going
through their drill. They had three Bands,
and with their three hundred torches, made
q very fine display. After paradjng until
eleven o'clock they proceeded to their head
quarters and dispersed.
This display, the whole, was one ou
which the Republicans here may well con
through Much good will come of It.

Destructive Fire.

Al twelve o clock Saturday night, fire was
discovered in n row Of stables on the alley
between Third and Fourth, Vine aud Syca-
more streets, back of Walkers Row and the
residences of Mr. Philip Decker and Mr.
Kramer. The flames spread with great ra-
pidity, and soon euveloped everything COM
bustible adjoining the stables. There was n
strong northerIy breeze, which drove the
flames and irebranGs in direction to en-
danger valuable property. Most OF the per
sons living in the immediate neighborhood
removed their household goods to save them
from threatened destruction.
individuals were quickly on hand, tear
ing down fences and other wooden struc-
lures that Offered food for the flames, and
throwing water on roofs to prevent them
from igniting. The rain Of the early part
of the evening had a favorable effect in rem
dering wooden surfaces secure through
dampness.
The Little Sis engine was set to work
at a ci5tern, and did good service The
Lamasco engine and one or two others were
at work at the Canal with good success
/ The Steamer was taken to the Court House
corner as quickly as a hundred men could
haul her, and set to work in effective style.
Soon she dampened down the flames with
her tremendous torrent of water, anda this
done, the fire was promptly quelled by all
the streams.
Had it not been for the Steamer the dam
