Peach Trees.

During this month. it is advisable that
all peach trees should be carefully examined
about the crown of the roots for the Worn,
that infests it. The presence of gum will
indicate that the worm is at work, and it
will be necessary to follow its progress under
the bark, either with a sharp wire by cu-
ting into the channel made by the grub,
with sharp, fine pointed pen-knife. Fol-
low it up until it is found and destroyed.
and finally plaster the wound with mixture
composed of two parts of soap, one part of
-four of sulphur, and one part salt. Scatter
some wood ashes and lime about the stem,
and then return the earth.

political system-the political system of the
whole United States Of America-is based
on the fundamental principle of the right Of
detcrminable by the voice of the
people. These several independent sover-
cign States, of their own free choosing and
for the purpose of their own and the COM
mon welfare, interest, and protection, fed
crate with certain others to this end. A
number of these States declare that faith has
not been kept with them in the compact of
confederation and that the cause and pur-
pose Of their federal association with certain
Others no longer urge its continuance, but
on the contrary demand it's termination. -
Whether they possess the right to so ter'ni-
nate the connection, is neither asserted nor
denied by the deed of Union. This silence
is claimed by each side in the quarrel as
favorable to it's own case. Upon which side
the construction may be said to weigh, is,
no doubt nice and intricate question for
political doctrinaries and hair-splitting con-
troversialists. But what we have to say is
this. that it is something more than mourn
ful, it is monstrous, it is an outrage and a
disgrace to humanity, that on point which
may be ruled either way, the shocking spec
tacle must be seen of torrents of blood being
made to flow in the conquest-the subjuga-
tion-of those independent States, who
merely ask for self-governmcnt and freedom
TO decide their own destinies? We say it
would be deplorable even if those Southern
States were mere colonies or outlying dis
tricts of despotic empire. We say that,
in the face of such unanimous determina-
zion for secession-right or wrong, accord
ing to construction of constitutional techni-
calities-this bloody war to force union on
the Southern people at the point of the
swerd-to sabre them into brotherhood and
dragoon them into "liberty" "-is blot up
on humanity. We cannot pause to weigh
the niceties Of the rival constructions of the
silence of the deed of Union with reference
to the right of secession. We turn in dis
gust from all this, denying that the proof
at best can be plain enough to reconcile us
to this butchery-butchery to. be done, let
US remember, not by kings, autocrats, or
,tyrants, but by Republicans, advocates of
popular liberty-themselves the offspring of
rebellion. Wehave often enough and clear
ly enough declared our anxiety that the
5great Republic of America might be saved

+anxiety-for the sakeof the hideous reproach

GENTLEMEN: Yours Of the 9th inst, re-
questing my opinion upon certain points
connected with what you justly style the
present 'inglorious, and it may be bloody
war;" has been received. That opinion was
long since formed, and was repeatedly set
forth through the press or by speech and
vote in the House of Representatives last
winter, and re-affirmed in a card dated on
the 18th Of last month, few days after the
commencement of the war: But inasmuch
as [ never had occasion to discuss this par
ticular question at length, beg leave to
adopt the following admirable summary of
the case in an extract from carefully pre-
pared and exceedingly able speech of the
Hon. S. A. Douglas, in the Senate Of the
United States, March 18th, 1861:
Il prefer such an amicable settlement to
peaceful disunion; and prefer it thousand
times to civil war. If we can adopt such
amendments as will be satisfactory to Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and the
other border States, the same plan of paci-
fication which will satisfy them will create
Union party in the cotton States which
will soon embrace a large majority of the
people in these States, and bring them back
of their own free will and accord and thus
restore, strengthen and perpetuate the glori-
Gus old Union forever. | repeat, whatever
guarantees will satisfy MARYLAND and the
border States (the States now in the Union, )
will create a Union party in the seeded
States that will bring them back by the vol.
nntary action of their own people. Toa
can restore and 1reserue the government IA,
that mole. You can do 1t IN no other.
<* Tar IS disanion. Var Is final, etey-
nal separation. Hence, disguise it as you
may, every Union man in America must
advocate such amendments to the Constitu-
ton as will preserve peace and restore the
Union; wAile erery disu,ionia, whcther
openly or secretly plotting its destruction, is
the adrocote of peaceful secession or of ra,',
as the surest meuns Of rendering reunion
and reconstruction impossible. [ have too
much respect for his intellect to believe, for
one moment, that there is man for war
who is not disunionist per se Hence I
do not mean, if I can prevent it, the enc
mics of the Union--men plotting to destroy
it-shall drag this country into war, under
the pretext of protecting the public property
and enforcing the laws, and collecting re-
venue, when their object is disunion, and
war the means of accomplishing cherished
purpose.
''The disunionists, therefore, are divided
into two classes; the one open, the other
secret disunionists. The one is in favor of
peaceful secession and a recognition of indie
pendence; the other is in favor of war, as
the surest means of accomplishing the OBJ
ject, and of making the separation final and
eternal. l am a Union mau, and hence

LINES BY LORD BYRON.

tSaid by Scott to be The best he ever ,crote.l
There is mystic thread of life
So dearly wovc with mine alone.
That dcstiny's relentless knife
At once must sever both or none
There is form on which these eyes
Have often gazed with fond delight,
BY day that form their joy supplies,
And dreams supply it thr ough the night.
There is voice whose tones inspire
Such thrills of rapture through nay breast,
] would not hear seraph choir
Unless that veicc could join the rest.
There is face whose bushes tell
Affections tale upon the check,
But pallid at one ford farewell,
Proclaims more love than words can speak
There is a lip that mine hath pressed,
And none hath ever pressed before;
1t vow'd to make me swcetly blcss'd,
And mine, mine only pressed it more.
There is a bosom all my own,
Hath pillowcd oft this aching head,
A mouth which smiles on me alone,
An eye whose tears with mine are she'd
There are two hearts whose movements thrill
In unison so closely sweet,
That pulse to pulse responsive still,
That both must heave or cease to beat.
There are two souls whose equal flow
In gentle streams 50 calmly run,
That when they part-thcy part ah no!
They cannssesgt, these sonis are ,e.,e.-=r-s..

Hints to Volunteers.

A soldier needs, besides his soldiery drill.
l. Good feet,
II. A good stomach,
III. And after these, come the good head
and the good heart.
But good feet arc distinctly the first thing
Without them you cannot get to your duty.
If comrade, or horse, or locomotive
takes you to the field, youare useless there
And when the field is lost you cannot retire,
run away and save your bacon.
Good shoes and plenty of walking make
good feet. A man who pretends to belong
to an infantry company ought always to
keep himself in training, so that at any mo-
ment he can march twenty or thirty miles
without feeling pang or raising blister.
Was this the case with even defamation of
the army who rushed to defend Washing
ton ? Were you so trained, my comrades

A captain Of a company who will let his
men march with such shoes as I've seen on
the feet Of some poor fellows in this war;
ought to be garroted with shoe strings, or
at least compelled to play Pope and wash
the feet of the whole army Of the Apostles
Of Liberty.
If you find foot soldier lying beat out
by the roadside, desperate as a sea-sick man,

soles too narrow or too thin. or his shoe is

The Rea! Traitors.

The real traitors who are responsible for
the disruption of the American Union and
the present civil war, are William H. Sew
ard, Abe Lincoln, Hannibal Hamlin, Charles
Sumner, Henry Wilson, John P Hale, &c.
They have accomplished the disastrous re-
suit by preaching abolitionism, denouncing
union with shareholders, and offering in Con-
sress petitions for the dissolution of the
Union. If there are any persons in this
country who deserve the doom of traitors,
they are these authors of our national Gala
mites. And if this war continues three
years, they will be obliged to flee their
country or receive traitors fate. THEY
hare misIed and dcceiired the People to the
ruin cfMe country. And when the reaction
takes place, as it surely will, popular ven
geancc will seek them for punishment -
When disaster and suffering pervadc the
North, as they certainly will when the peo-
pie cry out under the burden of taxes and
debt which this war will force upon them
then will come the day of reckoning for the
real traitors-the political demagogues-
who are the authors of the nations calami-
ties. Hence their superhuman efforts to
crush the South before the reaction takes
place. But, they cannot cvade their ac-
countability to God aud the People, If the
war continues three years, the men we have
named above will be fugitives in foreign
countries. Dem. Standard, Concord, ~ H.

\ CURE FOR D1ARRHEA-Numerou re-
quests having been made to rcpublish the
recipe for diarrhea and cholera symptoms,
which we gave in our paper some weeks ago.
and which was used by the troops during
the Mexican war with great success, we give
it below, with a very important correction
of an error made in the first formula as to
the size of the dose to be given:
Laudanum, ounces.
Spirits of Camphor, 2ounccs.
Essence Of Peppermint, ounces.
1ofnan's Anodyne, 2 ounces.
Tincturc of Cayenne Pepper, a'rachms
Tincture of Ginger, ounce
Mix all together. Dosc-a teaspoonfu
in little water, Or half teaspeonful re-
peated in an hour. afterwards in tablespoon
full Of brandy. This preparation will check
diarrhea in ten minutes, and abate other
premonitory symptoms of cholera immcdi-
ately. In cases Of cholera it has been used
with great success, to restore reaction, by
out~ard application. .-Phiiad. Inquirer.
