Some persons would, perhaps, give this post
of honor to the Sugar Maple but we think
that, Il things considered. it belongs to the
Elm. Nor do we forget the merits of other
species Of this Tree. The Dutch cork black
elm is very hardy, luXurant in f,age, and
rapid in growth, but it lacks the loftineSs and
graceful dignity of our native tree. The
English elm. in its several varieties. is very
fine, and SO is the Scotch whoever has room
tor an assortment. should include these
But the noble native tree must bear away the
palm. 1t grows in nearly every part of the
country, is easily transplanted, and grows
rapidly.
2. The Sugar Nipple (9ccr Socchorisum)-
Not lower than the second place, sulely,
must we put this tree. 1t is a sober, matter
ot-iact tree, with some of the graceful poetry
of the elm its branches do not droop and
sway, and float about with the carcSSng wind
1t has Il round, bushy head. makes a dense
shade, and has a breadth and massvenesS of
foliage which is really refreshing to behold. -
Some persons insist that the ScuriPi Horertng
(.3cer Rnbrum,) is most ornamental. Every
tree-lovcr delights to sec its gay red tufts
opening in Spring, before single leaf appears
on any tree, and when the only signs OF reviv-
ing vegetation are the adventurous catkinS on
the willows and poplars. Then, too, it grows
rapidly. and grows everywhere. And it has
il certain freedom and play of the leaves,

The Barcfuotct Printer BOy.

The 'Pittsburg Morning Ariel gives the
following story OF distinguished citizen
of Pennsylvania:
Some thirty years ago barciootcd boy
fpated down the Snsquch hanna on Il lumber
raft, and arrived ut Harrisburg. lie came
from the north, and belonged to Il large fam
lily; all his worldly goods were tied up in Il
little pocket handkerchief He sought and
obtained employment in printing ollice as
an apprentice. From an apprentice to II
journcymcn, from journcymcn to areporter,
from reporter to an editor, the printer boy
worked his way, against obstacles which the
suffering poor only know. The perseverance
with which be followed in Franilin's foot
steps began to realize from him the fruits
of toll and privation. The young asprant
became printer to the State, and by frugal
management was soon enabled to accomplish
the object nearest his heart-the establish
ment Of his mother in Il home above want
and in possession If every comfort she could
desire. His brothers were his next care;
and, like Napoleon, he had a strong arm
with which to aid thcm--an indomitable per-
severance that nothing could successfully
obstruct. In Il few years they, too, with his
sisters, were independent in the world; the
once barelooted printer boy was in possession
or atiiucnce, surrounded by Il young and
atIecionatc family. He was Il friend Of the
triendess, patron Of merit, and an encour-
agcr Of industry. He rose in honor and
Office, until the barctootod printer boy who
entered printing Office in Harrisburg, hun
CRY and weary, laid down his bundle on Il pile
OF wet paper and asked to become aprnter's S
apprentice, was elected u United States
Senator This man is Simon Cameron the
late Secretary Of War, and now Minister to
Russia.

Rebel Treatment of Dead Soldiers.

a correspondent of The Belriderc
Press, who accompanied Governor
Spraguc 10 the Bull Run battlefield to
look up the bodies of some of the
slam, gives the following thrilling narra-
tive which shows the barbarity and
hear lessncss with which the Rebels
treated our dead soldiers
The cavalry pushed on over The War
rcnton turnpike, while the Governor
and staff went down to the memora-
Bile bridge where the Second battery
were obliged to leave their guns. The
object of this visit was to see ifany
graves were thereabouts, as it was in
the slaughter that occurred at this spot
Captain s. j. Smith is supposed to have
lost his life. But no sign of grave
could bo discovered no marks of Il
burial were discovered in the vicinity,
and the bridge itself was blown up and
des roycd. The party then crossed the
fields to the fording place near Sudlcy
church, and there went through the
s,rcam and joined the cavalry in the
vicinity of the battle field, near the
little house to the left of the church,
where Slocum and Ballou died, and in
the garden of which they were inferred.
Mr. Richardson at once recognised the
spot, and pointed out the graves of the
heroes, and the preparations for cxhum-
ing were at once commenced under the
direction of Mr.. Coleman. During this
time the Governor, accompanied by Mr..
Clark and the remainder of his staff,
rode in search Of the place where poor
Tower lay. And now occurs an incident
which am almost afraid to pen. 1t
causes a shuddcr to hear Or to relate !;
but it is true, alas, too true.
The party had but just commenced
digging, the troopers had lf ed out but
one or two shovelsful of earth, when
a negro girl came down through the
woods from house near by on the hill,
and watched the proceedings. Suddenly
she came up By the side Of the grave,
and asked if they were not digging for
Colonel Slocum's body. On being
answered in the affirmative said -
YOU'RE too late; the Georgia regiment
have dug him up good many weeks
ago, to procure his bones tor trophies %
it sickens me to write the revolving
account" that his body had been
burned for this purpose; and finding
the bones consume with the flesh, and
the stencil intolerable, they had thrown
dirt on the fire to extnguish it," She
pointed out the place where the cannibal
rites occurred, and there, in the midst
of coal and cindcrs, the horror-strickcn
party saw verified the woman's almost
incredible narration. She also guided
the party to spot a little further down
on the banks of the brook, and in the
water, stopped by little clump of
bushes, the blanket and shirt stripped
from the body were floating in the cur
rent. The calico shirt, from its pattern
and figure, was at once pronounced by
Mr.. Richardson, who nurscd him in his
last moments, to be that Of Major Ballou,
and not Colonel SlOcum. After circuln-

ourselves to include under the Ashes tree
properly an Apflc.) Inc European variety
(Pym ancnpnria) is finer than the American.
They are both particularly suited to small
grounds, being trees ofmcdium size.

from the appearance of the young fruit which
somewhat resembles green cucumber. 1t is

\. 1t often rises to eighty feet IN hight
The bark Of the trunk and limbs is symmctri-
cal and handsome. The leaf buds in Winter
are covered with white, vckety down,
which is conspicuous. The leaves are often
six inches long and four broad:-and Of blu
sh green color, white underneath. Its
flowers are six inches in diameter, of yel-
lowish white, and slightly fragrant. This tree
should be iransplantcd when small. as its roots
are srcculcnt and brittle, and do not easily
recover from injuries We put this tree last
in Gus list but not because it is least hcscrv-
ing. For amateurs, it will almost rank num-
Der one.
The above is our list of six excellent shade
trees. We have not forgotten the merits Of
such trees as the Walnut, Chestnut, Beech.
Tulip, Bnttonwood, Birch, Willow, and
House chestnut; but these have greater
defects than those we have first named. May
many of them he planted throughout the
country, this very Spring.

cut away the muslin or linen from under

able to procure good ingram cotton,
they may use fine colored worstcd.
The Cecil Whig., 1862-04-12

1t may be some time before the people
of this State would agree to formally
abolish slavery. We do not fear that
just now but then ii may be left to die
of their neglect, to perish for want Of
protection. For instance, by the law Of
thus State now no slave, it matters no;
what his value, can be assessed for more
than three hundred dollars, except in the
city Of Baltimore. lie may be assessed
as low as twenty five dollars. 1t may
happen in these days, when the State is
groaning under taxation, that the people
of Baltimore may think this invidious
and desire to tax this as o,her property,
which would ruin us.
Again. When IA slave becomes tliet
and worthless to his master in this res.
pcct, if he is convicted and sold by law
as The statute requires, all the non-slave
holders arc taxed to repay his value
not Ills assessed value, but his real value
to his master. This evidently just law,
if repealed, would make the master liable
to lose every vicious negro without
remuneration, and make him responsible,
in the value of his slave, for his morals.
Mere neglect TO protect us without
any formal act of emancipation would be
the ruin of the STAKEHOLDER. 1t has
happened in Western Virginia, and may
happen here, that the politicians in the
western part of the SAFE may begin to
dislike the representa- ion in the Lcgis-
lature which makes five slaves equal to
three whites.* They may dislike the
law which gives to the slave holding
counties of the Eastern Shore U. S.
Senator, when two hundred and fifty
thousand people in Baltimore, and all
the rest of the county in the State, only
have one.
Politicians are no great sicklers for
justice, and if, in order to change this
basis, they begin TO make favor with the
taxpayers of the western coun les and
