battle ground toot place, The Philadel-
pima North American says it was one of
the ..E@rgest SSssemblages ever held in that
vicinity. The number of participants is

There were nearly 5000 equipped men,
all of whom were drilled in military tactics.
These clubs hailed from Delaware, New
Jersey, Maryland, Philadelphia, and near
ly every section Of Chester and Delaware
counties, and some from Montgomery and
Lancaster counties They brought twenty
bands of music with them. a number of
coons and rails figured in the delegations.
The banners from Delaware proclaimed mo
more Slave States The ground was gaily
decorated with flags, and the roads and
fields were crowded with vehicles for a
mile around. A brass cannon kept up a
constant peal from the hilltop. The meet
ing was organized by the election of Bayard
Taylor as President. Mr.. Taylor, after re-
turning thanks for the honor, and announ-
cling himself Republican, introduced the
Hon. John Sherman, of Ohio. Mr.. Sher-

most incessant applause. Mr.. John Co

4 Nc1cs agent Sentenced TO Death for
Circulating the Nea0 Yoyh; TrjJune.-
Some time since very respectable and
we'll known citizen of St. Louis, named
Henry A. Marsh, established a news de-
pot at some point in Texas. Subsequently
he established other depots in Camden,
Ark, and Memphis, Tenn. A few weeks
since he received an order at his Camden
depot for fifty copies Of the New York
Tribune. As matter of business, Marsh
undertook to fill the order, and the pack
age arrived in due course of time, while he
was absent at Memphis. 1t having been
noised about Camden that the Tribune was
about being circulated, through the medi-
um-indirectly, however-of Mr.. Marsh,
a committee of three men were appointed
to go after Mr.. Marsh and bring him back
to Camden. Accordingly, they proceeded
on their mission, and, one night, captured
their unsuspecting victim, in Memphis, and
conveyed him on board steamer, and lock-
ed him in state-room. The captain of
the boat, on learning their intention, refu-
sed to convey the party, and they were
obliged to convey their captive across the
river in yawl Arriving in Camden, Mr.
Marsh was arraigned on the charge of cir
culating scditious and incendiary docu-
ments, was convicted and sentenced to be
hung. Time was, however, given him to
send for his wife, and permission given
him to procure from the citizens Of St.
Louis a certificate of former good charac-
ter, respectability, and loyalty. The wife
of Mr.. Marsh arrived in this city, en- route
for Camden, and is stopping at Barnum's
Hotel, awaiting the completion Of peti-
tion already signed by many we'll known
citizens, Of all political parties, for the re-
lief Of the unfortunate man, whose only
crime is embraced in the faithful discharge
Of his business relations. Mrs. Marsh will
leave for Camden to-day with the petition
numerously signed, with the heartfelt
prayer of the citizens of St. Louis for the
safety Of her husband from the hands Of
fanatical fire -eaters.-t& Louis De~tocrat

Destruction Of Churches By Fiire-The
Boston Transcript says that the church
burned at Medford, Sunday morning, is
the sixth which has been destroyed by fire
in that immediate neighborhooa within the
past ten years. The Methodists of Cam
bridgeport, the Unitarians of Cambridge,
Somerville and West Cambridge, and the
Trinitarian Congregationalists of Winches-
ter and Medford have had churches totally
destroyed by fire since 1850 We have one
more to add to the list-the Baptist Church
at Malden-a fine ediice destroyed in 1856
-Four Of these were doubtless set on fire by
incendiaries. In addition to the foregoing
may be mentioned the destruction of the
Trinitarian Church in Bndgewater by fire
and the loss Of 4 fine new Episcopal Church
edifco in Bristol, Rhode Island, by falling
within few weeks.

Decay Of American Orchards.

DIR. John Warder, the eminent Ohio po-
m"logist, writing in late number of the
Ciarinaaias, upon the deeadence 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 amplifications, the
chief causes of the premature decay of apple
orchards, which may be attributed to want
o. proper selection and preparation of the
soil to neglect Of cultivation to exhaus-
ton Of the soil to want of manures judi
cously applied, under the guidance of analy-
SIS that indicate the special manure, or plant
food required TO excessive fruiiage and ear
" maturity of the tree 10 old age to the
effects of grating and Use of bad stocks to
our breeding trees for fruit, rather than for
hardness, vigor and growth to sickly sorts
being propagated to cold and sudden alter.
at;oEs to excessive humidity; to diseases in
the trees and fruit to the ravages of insects
of various kinds upon the trees and fruit,and
Lastly to bad and lnJudicious pruning.
With all these evils, to which our orchards
are SO generally subjected, it is net surprising
that We should often find them in state of
premature decay, nor that we should hear
complaints of their being no longer profta-
bic but who would expect crop of corn or
| wheat to be remunerative under similarly
unfavorablc clrcumstances,or when subjected
to such bitter neg lect? No sensible farmer,
surely.
! Of these thirteen causes of decay, at least
nine are simply due to the shiftless manage
ment of otchardists. They seem to forget
that good tree cannot be made out of bad
materials, on unsuitable soil, without manure,
and in spite of destructive pruning. They
ignore the first dictates of common sense in
their system of management, and of course
suffer the consequences.

The American missionary has no other re-
ation to them than any other foreign resi-
dent in Syria. The missionaries have their
own schools, chapels, and disciples, and form
distinct community, interfering with ncne.
When the war broke out, the Pasha at Bey-
rout gave the Druse chiefs command that the
American missionaries must remain unmoles-
ted-and they not only saved themselves and
those who had become their converts, but al
so scores of the natives One missionary
protected in his house between forty and fif-
" of the Maronitss. One came a prisoner
to his door, and there in presence of the mis-
sionary paid the price of his life, about four
hundred dollars, to the Druses.
The American missionaries have been
peace-makers-judges between contendins
parties, and protectors dispensing light, and
more recently initiating the good Samaritan,
upon large scale. There is no want of i'm
partial testimony as to the good result of
their work. Colonel Charchelt, in his admi-
rable work upon Mt. Lebanon, Lagard, Lord
Stafford. Lord Shaftsbur., and other states

fed terms of appreciation of the unobtrusive,

Who are the Syrians What claims have

are often asked Of the gentlemen engaged in
collecting funds for the relief of the desti-

The Syrians are Arabs, speaking the Ara
bic language, natives Of the soil, and all sub
jects OF the Turkish government. They are
divided into ten religious sects, viz, eight
Christian and two antChristian, as follows :
lst. The Greeks, the most numerous, and
in full communion with the Greek Church.
I'd. The creek Catholics, uniting, in their
church government, forms from both the
Greek and Latin Churches. Their priests
marry.
