GIGANTIC TREES IN VAN D1EMAN's LAED.-Last
week ! went te see two of the largest trees in the
world il not the largest that have ever been mea
sured. They we're both on tributary rill to the
Northwest Bay river, at the back of Mount W ell
lngton, and what here called Swamp
Gums. One was growing, the other prostrate; the
latter measured to the tirst branch 220 feet; from
thence to where the top was broken off and de-
caVed, sixty four feet, 2S4 feet in all; that
with the top it must have been considerably beyond
300 feet. 1t is 80 feet in diameter at the base, and
Y at 220, or the first branch. We estimated it to
weigh, with the branches, 446 tons! The standing
giant is still growing vigorously, without the slight
est symptom of decay, and looks like large church
tower amoug the puny sassafras trees. 1t measures
at three feet from the ground 102 feet in ctrcum-
ference: at the ground, l30 feet We had no
means Of ascertaining its height, (Which, however,
must be enormous,) from the density of the forest.
l measured another not forty yards from it, and at
three feet it was sixty feet round and at $50 feet
where the first branch began judged it to be 40
feet; this was noble column indeed, and sound as
nut. | am sure that within mile there are at
least 100 growing trees 40 feet in circumference-

THE RHINoCERos' FRIEND.-The rhlnoceroS pest
friend, and the rhlnoceros hunters most tresome
enemy is A little bird, the Buphaga Africane, yu-
carly known as the rhn0ceros bird. 1t constantly
attends ON the huge beast, feeding the ticks that
nfest its hide, the birds long claws and elastic tail
enabling it to hold fast to whatever portion Of the
animal it fancies. If it rendered the rhiuoceros
better service than ridding him of these biting
pests, it would deserve his gratitue; but in add-
ton, it does him the favor of warning him of the
approach of the hunter. With its ears as busy as
its beak the little sentinel detects danger afar of,
and at once shoots up into the air, uttering sharp
and peculiar note, which the rhinoceros is not slow
to understand and take advantage of he doesn't
wait to make inquiry, but makes off at once. Cum
ming asserts that when the rhinoeeros is asleep,
and the Buphaga fails to wake him with its voice,
it will peck the inside of his ears, and otherwise

In the recent suppression from the pressure of
popular violence, public opinion and official in
serventon, of various so.caled peace meetings and
peace preaching newspapers in various places from
Maine to Maryland, we can understand to some
extent, the overwhe lming public sentiment of the
loyal States in avcr of the vigorous prosecution of
this war. With the enemy in sight OF our capital,
in force, and bGasing and insolent, i'll consequence
OF our late disaster at Manassas, every loyal man
in the country knows full well that this is not the
time tor peace organs or peace meetings, but for
war organs, war meetings, and the most active
preparations for war.
Hence the white feather movement in the North,
evidently started under systematic arrangement
and through the medium of supplies of money
from the Confederate camp, will not be tolerated
at this criSi. 0t life or death to cur Government
Secession journals and secession public meetings. in
the disguiSos of democracy peace and Union, have
thus been summariiy ''squeIched" il Maine, New
Hampshire, Connecticut, Ohio and elsewhere The
latest examples in this work Of pulling down the
white feather occurred at Middletown, n. j., New
town, /. l., and Woodbury., Conn, in the suppress
sion of these spurious peace meetings and in the
substitution Oi rousing Union war meetings. Pub
lie opinion was visibly made manifest in these
cases, that we suspect it will be some time before
our secession pcGce-maktrs attempt again to raise
the white feather in New Jersey, Connecticut or

trafic-at least, so far tbe citizens of our own
country concerned. The most complete system

The great battle at Manassas Junction is likely

encountered in the pell nell flight for Washington,
we are bound to remark that this army OF
civilians. As to the results Of the battle, can
only rejoice that the NnriheuErE engaged as they
seem 30 us to be- in a war Of aggressive conquest,
have so sign&ily miscarried at the very outset OF
their invasion. 1t was incGmOeut On them, before
they drew the sword against men Of their own
race and speaking their "wn language (sucn as it
is J, to show distinctly that th0ae men rot

this that wherever the documents Of the Constitu-

each State is still Sovereign state, ana as such

thew can only bold the South by the creation of a
great military caste which if it were called into
existence would soon hold the North too, after

of endangering their freedom and easiness by the
creation of such a military caste. Certainly they
