From Our Boys.
EE- Such news as we have this week
received from the Fifth and Ninth, we
give on another page. Gen. PORE and
his command are on their way to Mem
phis, at last accounts being opposite to
Fort Wright, some miles above Fort Ran
dolph, Tenn. Gen. CURrIs's command,
we learn by recent private advices, had
crossed the White River, and were mar.
ching eastward, on their way, it was sur
missed. to join Gen. POPE. If this is true
the movement on Memphis is likely to
be formidable one. Gen. CURTIS has
been reinforced by some 5000 or 5000
troops from Kansas, and has now in the
neighborhood of 25 900 men. Pope has
probably 10000, and if "a junction is eff
fected by the two armies, they, with Com.
FoorE's fleet, will prove to be an unpal-
patable demonstration on BEAuREGARD's
flank. There are sevaral other forts be-
tween Fort Wright and Memphis, but
none are regarded as very formidable, and
it is not to be supposed that they will
long retard the progress Of the winners Of
Island No. 10.

The Independence Guardian would like, il
seems, by its devotion of column of abuse to
us, to have a notice in the HERALD.-We graf
ify it to this extent.
w The Herald is as unfair as usu.
al. We devoted some space to a candid,
respectful consideration Of a class of men
of whom we conceive the editor of the
Herald to be type. Mr.. MAHoNY knows
we did him no wrong, either in matter
or manner. The above is an easy way
to escape our conclusions.

Fruit Trees.

Fruit Trees.
ET The advantage, in the attempt to
raise fruit in this region, Of having trees
acclimated, is now generally acknowledg.
ed. Therefore preference is generally
being given to trees started in home nur-
series. They are not only acclimated
but they have no time to become dry and
withered before the transplanting is done
Half the trees from abroad that have been
sold here, have been SO long out of the
the Nurseries. as to have lost the major
share Of their vitality. and Of course the
chance oftheir living, after transplanting
was thereby greatly lessened. For this
reason, then,it becomes important TO those
who have any desire to try fruit culture.

Says the New York Post:


L. a. Hendricks, of Indiana. who as
p'res to succeed Jesse d. Bright in the
United States Senate. is Secessionist of
the first water. In speech made bv him
LAST year, he sain:
"The first and highest interest of the
Northwest is in the restoration and pres
ervalion of the Union upon the basis of the
constitution. and the deep devotion of her
Democracy to the cause of the Union is
shown by its fidelity in the past; bu. if the
failure and folly aud wickedness of the
party in power render Union impossible,
then the mighty Northwest must take care
of herself and her own interests, She
must no: allow the arts and tinesse Of
New England TO despoi her of her richest
commerce and uade, and to render her
labor wholly sabservient to an eastern Sec
tional and selfish policy-Eastern lust of
power. commerce and gain"
Commenting Oh the foregoing. the Chi
caeo Times says:
We do not precisely see how this mases
Mr.. Hendricks secessionist of the first
water. or any other water. 1t is difficult
fer one to express attachment TO the Tn.
ion more strongly than he expresses it in
this extract. Beyond that. ''i the failure
and fol, and wckeIn, s. Of the party in
power shall render Union impossible"
he simply Purposes that the = orllw. st
shall take care of herself and her own in
terests. In other words, if New England
fanaticism shall succeed in permanently
dividing the Union, he proposes that The
Northwest shall not settle down into play
ing the part of tail to tue New England
kite.
Ifsuoh principles are treason, abolition
ism will have to make the most of
it.
1t would have been great remedy for
New England fanaticsm. if it Ead been
long az, understood that if The old Union
should be broken up, New England sec
tional interests. which have had such cx
traordina:y protection in TIE old Union,
would he left out in the cold in future

Mr. Hendricks uttered the unm;stakab,e
voice If the Northwest That voice is for
the old Union so long as there shal! be the
remotest hope Of lis resloralion: but if
New England fana..cism and folly and
wickedness shall make restoration ssi-

perhaps, more tkau any other President,

walking upon the public streets. or riding
