FRCIT AND FRUIr TREEs.-Two Of the
best farmers North communicate the
manner in which they secure good fruit.
1t is thus They dig at some distance
from the body Of some faVorite tree until
they find root, which they cut of. The
part disjointed from the tree is then
turned up so as to appear above the
ground Ii sends forth shoots the flrst
season, and bear, in few years, fruit
precisely like that upon the parent tree.
Let those whose trees are decaying, or
who wish to increase good varieties, try

This body after various resolutions and a.

some of them looking to cooperation, the ap.
pointment of commissioners to our sister slave
States, &c., and others looking to immediate
Separate State Secession-has passed, without a
dissenting voice in either House, an Act calling
for a Convention of the people to meet on the
18th of December. The election for this Con-
vention will be held on the 9th of December, in
the precise manner IS for members of the Legis-
lature. We have not space to spare for the en-
tire Act, or we would insert it. But let the
people of York remember the 9Th of December
let them rally to the polls and lot them vote to
a man for resistance to sectional rule.
The Legislature adjourned on Tuesday at
noon to re convene in regular Session on Mon
day, the Goth of November, at 7 O'Clock in the
afternoon. The subject of armiug the State,
raising supplies to meet the demands of the

is significant of the feeling there, that United
States Senators Toombs and Iverson have both
resigned, and the Legislature refuses to 60 into
an election to fill their vacancies.
A dispatch from Savannah says: "The State
of Georgia, from the mountains to the seaboard,
is determined to resist Lincoln's election" An,
other on the 9th from Augusta says: "a meet

managed by our most conservative citizens, and
decided measures looking to the secession Of
Georgia will be adopted" A third from Angus
