Corrox IN ENGLAND.-The London Econo-
mist estimates the number of bales of cotton
on hand at the end Of the year At 400, 900 bales.
During 1868, the probable imports from India,
it thinks, will be 100000 bales; from Egypt
200. 1000; Brazil, 10000, and other quarters,
$4,000. Total, 2,l75,ooo bales. This amount
will enable the mills to work four days per week,
during 1868, supply an export demand of 60o,'
600 bales, and leave 1l9, 900 bales on hand at
the opening of 1864. All this without single

PROJECTION TO YOUNG TREES.

So many are the losses every year from the
effects of Winter, that this subject is wor-
thy of special mention as the trying season
approaches. few words of precaution are
needed now.
Fall planting. One has usually a better lot Of
trees to select from at the nurseries, than in
the Spring. If set out early, the wounded
roots become calloused, and ready to emit
new roots in the Spring; they may even be-
gin to form roots in the Fall They are fairly
in their new quarters at the very opening of
Spring, and ready to start al the first begin
ming Of warm weather. Fall planting saves
much time for other work IN Spring which is
always a busy season. In the Fall, the ground
is warm. comparatively dry, and easy and
pleasant to work. '
1t cannot be doubted that the hardest trees
such as apple and forest trees, may be set out
in Autumn to the best advantage. But those
slightly tender-such as cherries, some kinds
of pears and shade lrees-if taken up in the
Fall, should be shecled in, - and protected for
the WiLter They will then be in the. best
possible condition for planting ont in the
Spring. And here is the way OF doing it. On
receiving the bundle of trees from the nurs-
cry choose dry and partially sheltered cor
ner of the garden or orchard, lay open trench
foot deep sloping it eff on one ST 'e, and ma
king hillock on that side for the trunks and
branches to rest on. 1t is taken for granted
that this trench is made where no water will
stand in it. Now lay the roots along in the
trench as closely together as possible, the
limbs resting on the bank of earth. Cover the
roots foot deep, making mourd over them
to shed water. Let also the trunks be light
ly coveted for full half their length. 1t is well
to lay few evergreen boughs over the branch
es; corn stalks may be used, though in mod
eration, or they will attract m ice. AS soon
as Spring opens, remoye all covering, shorten
in the branches, and plant. YHEE
For trees, planted within asyear or two past,
a slight Winter protection is important, at
least in exposed places at the North. The
roofs OF such trees are yet small and have
not recovered from the shock of removal The
main thing required is TO cover the entire
II coarse manure is at hand. use that, and it
will answer the double purpose of protection
and enrichment. In Spring, let the manure
be worked into the soil. Wherever there is
danger from mice, coDical bank of earth,
about foot high, should be made around the
stem of every newly planted tree, removing it
early in the Spring. 'taa@ tfS ~

THE CROWNED SKELEToN.-Aix-la- Ia Chapelle
in Germany, derives its nature from the tomb
of Charlemagne. He gave instructions that
when he died he should be buried in royal
position; not PROSTATE as slnmbering dust,
but seated in the attitude of ruling monarch.
He had the mausoleum erected over the sep
ulcher of our Saviour at Jerusalem. In tomb
within this chapel he placed upon a
throne. The gospels, which | suppose he had
often read whit he was living, he would ap-
pear determined to stndy thoroughly after he
was dead. He directed they should be laid
upon his knees before him. BY his side was
his sword; upon his head was an imperial
crown, and a royal mantle covered his lifeless
shoulders. Thus was his body placed, and did
his body remain for about 100 years. One of
his Successors aresolyed he would see how
Charlemagne looked and what had become of
the riches that adorned his tomb. Nearly
Thousand years after Christ, the tomb was
opened by Emperor Otho. The skeleton form
ofthe body was found there, dissolved and
dsmembered; tie various ornaments I speak
of we're allthere to0; but the frame had sunk
into fragments. the bones had fallen disjoint-
ed and asunder and there remained nothing
but the CHASTITY skull wearing its crown still!
The various relics were taken up, and are now
preserved at Vienna; and they have often
since been employed in the coronation of the

The following order from the President
was yesterday embodied In general order
from the Office OF the Adjutant General, and
transmitted to the commanders of the differ
ent military departments:
Representations having been made to the
President by the Ministers of various foreign
powers In amity with the United States that
the subjects of such powers have, during the
present insurrection, been obliged or requir-
ed by the military authorities to take an
oath Of general or qualified allegiance to the
Government: 1t is the duty of all aliens
residing in the United States to submit and
obey the laws and respect the authority OF
the Government. For any proceeding or
conduct inconsistent with this obligation,
and subversive OF that authority, they may
rightfully be subjected to military restraints,
when this may be necessary, but they cannot
be compelled to take an oath OF allegiance
to this Government, because it conflicts with
the duty they owe to their own Govern
ment. All such obligations heretofore taken,
are therefore remitted and annulled. Mill
tary commanders will not therefore impose
similar obligations in faturs, and will in lieu
thereof impose such other restrictions of
the character indicated as they shall find
convenient, necessary and efectual for the
public ssiety: 1t is further directed that
whenever any order shall be made affecting
the personal liberty of an alien, reports Of
the same and causes thereof shall be made to
the War Department for the consideration
of the Department of State,
