"a PUBLIC Benefactor is the man who
plants fruit tree" is the truthful conclu-
sion of modern philosopher. We fully
endorse the sentiment. A fruitful apple
or peach orchard as a public blessing, not
to the present only but TO coming genera
tions. The citizens of this portion CT the
Grand River Valley generally have, Of
late, manifested a most commendab!e
zeal in planting out trees of every varie-
ty, so that almost every hamlet and farm
house will soon peer out from the deep
foliage of trees analogous to those so
abundantly and bcneficently provided for
the sustenance of our first parents-in
Eden.
The temperature and soil round about
Grand Haven and Mill Point, is well
known TO be peculiarly adapted to the
growth and perfection of the peach.
Hence citizens in the vicinity of these
two points are turning their attention
largely to the growth Of that most deli
cious fruit. Extensive orchards were
planted last season, and, we are informed,
more extensive operations will follow du-
ring the present, so much so that we an
ticipatc our county will shortly become
the "St. Jo." OF the Grand River Valley,
for the abundance of its peaches, and reap
vast commercial benefit therefrom. There
fore let the good work 60 forward.

THE PEACH CRoP.-We take great
satisfaction in announcing that we have
assurances that the peach crop of the
country promises to beplentiful the com
ing season. The Rev. Mr.. Buck, of this
village, professional grower, of much ex-
perience and observation, informs us that
from wide examination of peach trees,
in this section, and elsewhere, he is conf
dent that the winter, thus far, has done
very little or no injury to the fruit buds.
He has been, during the past month, in
Indiana and Illinois, and in several parts
of this State, and is satisfied that there
is promise of rare crop of this luscious
fruit. Mr.. Buck says he never yet knew
of an instance of any injury to peaches
as late as this in the season. JoneSV'lIe

GENERAL Burnside, in his official re-
port of the great victories gained by his
expedition, says;
81 beg to say to the General command
ing the army that have endeavored to
carry ont the Dery minute instructions
given me by him before leaning Annap-
OILS, and thus far events haze been Sing,t-
larly coincident Dith his anticipations.-
| only hope that we may in future be
able to carry out in detail the remaining
plans of the campaign; the only thing l
have TO regret is the delay caused by the
elements"
We call particular attention to the
words which we have underscored. They
leave no doubt that General Mcclellan is
the author of the plan by which all our
recent victories have been won. General
Burnside, at least, carried out the "very
minute instructions he gave to him, and
reports that events have been " singular
" coincident Nth has (McClellan's) antic-
ipations."
We suppose that General McClellan's
enemies will now attack Burnside, and as
sert that he does not know who gave him
his orders, or whether he obeyed them at
ter they were given.-Det. Free Press.

THE ENGAGEMENT WITH THE AR.
KANSAS.
CHICAGO, July 26.

Special to the Times, from Memphis:
Capt. Gwin, Of the gunbOat Tyler, reports
eight killed and sixteen wounded on his
boat, in the late engagement with the Ar
kansas. He accuses Lieut.. Hunter, COM
manding the Queen Of West, Of behav-
ing in the most cowardly manner, having
made no effort whatever to bring his ves-
sci into action.
Officers Of the Lancaster say the Queen
was the first Aoat that discovered the Ar
kansas; that she ran for protection to the
feet without firing gun, and in disObedi-
ence to signals TO como to the aid Of the
Carondelet, while the latter was engaged
in close quarters with the Arkansas.
