The u. S, steamer Cambridge arrived
here this morning from the blockade off

The rebel steamer Nashville escaped from
the harbor Of Beaufort on Tuesday night
the 18th lust, having run the blockade.
The only u. s. vessels at the place were
the steamer Cambridge and the bark
Gemsbrook, a sailing vessel. The block.
aiding vessels had news of the capture Of
AeMbe#H, aud were On the lockout for the
Nashville, bat they were not numerous
enough to prevent l.er escape. The Gem
brook just saw the Nashville and immedi-
ately telegraphed to the Cambridge that
she was coming out The Cambridge
followed the Nashville and fred number
Of shots at her, with the hope of getting
her into fight. but the superior speed of
the Nashville soon put her at safe dis
lance. Two OF the shots from the Cam
bridge were supposed to have struck the
Nashville.
The bark Glenn, which has been block.
AIDED in the harbor Of Beaufort for some
time, was set on fire by the rebels ON Sun
day, and was still burning when the Gam-
bridge left Ia the evening. The Glenn
was supposed - be fitting out as > priva-
teer. The burning of this vessel was
doubtless preparatory TO IN evacuation of
the pace. Fort Macon had not been
blown up by the rebels at the last ac-
counts. The bark Gembrook and the
steamer State of Georgia were left at the
station by the Cambridge.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Washington, March


fhe House having addressed an inqui-
~ to the Secretary of War regarding pur-
chases Of vessels for carrying water, he
reported to-day by enclosing a letter
FROM Assistant Secretary Tucker, en-
planning those purchases.
Frequent applications are made as to
the disposal OF public lands in the Ter
ritories OF Nevada, but as the land dis
tricts have not yet been organized there
in, no species Of claims can now be loca-
ted There seems to be no doubt that
those who at present occupy lands will
be secured in their locations by futare
legislation.
u A democratic conference was held last
night, continuing in session until late
hour ID The call was signed by all, ex-
cept four or five of the members of Con
gress, who were elected as Democratic
Representative Corning presided, and
Pendleton and Shiel acted as Secretaries
An injunction was placed on all present
not to reveal the proceedings. It is,
however, ascertained from private con.
versation to-day, that the conference was
principally confined to the consideration
Of the resolutions reported from com
mittee Of which Vallandigham m,
chairman. declaring in substance that th.
restoration of the Union and maintenance
Of the constitution, would require tina
the organization and principles of th,
democratic party Of the Uaited State
should be fully and faithfully adhered to
and inviting citizens without dis6nOt6cI
of section Or party to co-operate with til
democrats in support Of the Constitutiol
and restoring the old Union.

the proportion when you take sarlings
large enough u be planted in tho street
for shade trees. And, forest {shsde)
trees, as they are usually taken up, gem
orally are about as devoid ofrpoacs and
spongiola, the only resource Of SUGGEST
full vegetation, as il the tree had been
cut of above ground, and give about as
much hope Of growth As would such a
trunk stuck intothe hard ground, as they
are usually planted. aa
And that's what's the matter.
Now, sir, ! am glad you started this
question, and hope it will be agitd,et1
until Keokuk wakes up fully to this mos.
necessary Improvement.
The nursery n en- have for some years
been preparing maple shade trees, and
they are the incest Of oil desi1uoAs trees
for the purpose, and | have no doubt
could furnish them as cheap, if Hot
cheaper, than forest trees can be go,
saying nothing of their superior fitness
for transplanting. Having been transplaI-
ted when young and the roots pruned,
they will be well supplied with fbrous
roots near the trunk ofthe tree, and this
is the first requirement for successful
growthin newly planted tree.
1t would be well to call the attention
of the Horticultural Society to this sub
ject, as they have committee especially
appointed on s.Trees and Shrubs, who
might be expected to give some valuable
information in regard to it, and surely
there are but few things more necessary
in this city. A.
