New YORK, April 6. The Tribune's Wash
ington despatch says our relations with Great
Britain are considered by those conversant with
them as extremely delicate
Inc correspondence between Earl Russell and
Minister Adams, IN relation to the fitting out
ana sailing OF the pirate Alabama, contained
ih the blue BOOK, but not yet published in this
country, and the correspondence still going on
touching she construction and equipment in
nriIiSn waters OF other plratical crafts have
oeen conducted on the part Of John Bull in a
tone which is unfriendly if not menacipc and
provocative of war.
Russell plants himself on the strict letter of
the statute applicable to the case. and refers ON
government to that statute, and in effect refnses
to take steps TO remedy the grievances com nlain-
ed OF. Inc matter has recently been seriously
discussed in the Cabinet. 1t is THOUGHT in some
quarters that with the capture of Charleston.
aipprehenslons on this score may be dismissed
The ministers here of the pripcnal FOREIGN
powers are believed to be of the opinion that
It's capture is impossible
The Herald's dispatch SAYS information has
been received, cOntradicting the reported nren-
arations Of the rebels to eyacuate R ichmond
The reports were based upon the movements If
troops, and materials sent from Richmond n
strengthen the defences at other polnts II is
believed that they are erecting formidable de-
fences at Chattanooga, Tenn, as a place for a
last grand rally in case of being compelled to
retire from the borders.
The Times dispatch states that Gen Lee. with
a considerable force, is in the Shenandoah Val. |
ley; Fltz Hugh Lee is in the neighborhood of
Cupepper with his cavalry brigade.
The Presidents proclamation has caused the
return of upwards of 1900 deserters daily to
their regiments. Thus far no impsdments have
been thrown in the way of enforcing the procla-
nation Notwithstanding the time laid down
in the proclamation for the return of deserters
has expired, the Government is disposed to deal
lenlently with oil who return to their regiments.

A Few European Statistics.

The British Government has Just pub
lished Blue Book" with the title
Statistical Tables relating 10 Foreign
Countries" from which some interesting
figures may be CLEANED. 1t appears that
Belgium has the densest population, 1913
persons 10 the square mile. England
without Wales-has 377 Wurtemburg,
3I3; Holland, $50; Russia has but 10 per
sons to the square mile, and stands at the
bottom of the list. II we follow the list
up we find that Norway has II persons to
the square mile; Sweden, 30; Greece. Sc;
Spain, 50 4; Poland, 81 Moldavia, lOO;-
Portugal, l04 Denmark, ll9; Switzerland
l5l; Prussia, los; France, l76, and Bruins
wick 1874.
In Prussia, the marriages IN a year are
! in every 100 OF the population, and the
births in "a. IN Russia, the marriages
are in Ill, and the births | in %. In
Austria the marriages are in lis, and
the births in "a. In France the maria
ges are in I'D, and the births only in
80. In England the proportion of mar
riages is in l23: and of births | in 2S-
greatly different from France. In Nor
way proportions of marriages l in l24 81
in Hanover ! in l28; in Holland and
Denmark, l in l29; in Sweden, l in l53
in Spain, in III in Bavaria, in l60
and in Greece only in Ia.
The Poles appear to be the most prolif-
ic people in Europe, the births there be-
ing to every % of the population
Their enemies, the Russians, add yearly
! in every 25 to their population. In
Wurtemburg the births are as one in 26
in 20 in Spain and Bavaria in so in
Belgium, Holland and Norway | in 81
in Sweden; in 80 in Hanover, the Hanse
Towns and Denmark in 81 in Greece.
In regard to the costliness of Govern
ment, Great Britain takes the lead. En-
glishmen pay at the rate of thirteen dol
lars and twenty-five cents per head for
being governed the Swiss pay but one
dollar and seventy cents for the same
convenience. The French pay a little
more than ten dollars per head, and our
worthy ancestors, the Hollanders pay,
without grumbling, twelve dollars and
quarter.
If the national debt of Great Britain
were equally divided among the popula-
tion, every man, woman and child would |
owe one hundred and forty dollars
Switzerland has no public debt. The |
French owe about sixty-five dollars per
head, and the Russians about twenty-five !
dollars

Country, lot Party-Mililary Com
missions.

In an addres at the late Union demon
stration in New York, in honor of the vic.
! tories in Pennsylvania and Ohio, Senator
Wilson, of Massachusetts, said that since
the rebellion broke out the Military Com
mittee Of the Senate had passed upon SIX
thousand seven hundred and twenty-five
military commissions. The Committe Is
composed of three Democrats and four
Republicans, and Senator Wilson is the
Chairman. In passing upon that vast
number of titles TO office in the army,
not solitary divided party vote was ever
given upon = single commission, We are
glad TO hear this declaration from 80 high
a source, for it adds another proof to tile
many evidences that the Federal Admin
.istration is aetuated purely by patriotic
motives in carrying out the great work of
suppressing the rebellion. We have had
multitudinous accusations from rebel
sympathizers, to the effect that the Gov
erpment had become abolitionized, and
that partisan influences had been at work
in the army. That such is not the case,
the statement of Senator Wilson album
dainty proves. 1t shows that country,
not party" is the watchword of the Gov
ernmeut, and that enough of the revolu-
tionary spirit is left in the nation to carry
through the war in the right spirit How
different has been the conduct Of the reb-
el sympathizers of the Northl They have
assailed every act of the President in the
bitterest spirit of partizanship They
have fomented riot and murder for the
purpose of weakening the Government.
They have spoken and worked with the
malignity OF fiends to help Jefferson Da-
Wis, and no stone has been left unturned
by them to show that not drop of true
American blood flows in their veins. The
conduct of Vallandigham, Seymour, Reed,
Biddle, Wharton, Ingersoll, Woodward,
and all the copperhead host, has been
like that of Benedict Arnold; while on
the other hand, the Administration has
been striving to ignore partisan feeling
and make the salvation of the Republic
the permanent issue.
History will do justice TO President
Lincoln, and we welcome Senator Will
sons addition to its pages, as an eatnest
of what is to come when the hidden facts
of the past three years of the political
and military record are placed before
calm world and analyzed in the light of
succeeding events.-Phil. BulLetin.

Longevity of the Apple Tree.

We have lust been shown an apple gath
cred from q tree more than one hundred
and sixty years old. 1t stands on the
grounds of Edward II. Seaman, Of Jeru-
salem, Long Island. How much more
than a hundred and sixty years have
elapsed since this tree was planted is not
known, but that it has at least reached
that age is certain. The tree has large
top and bears abundantly, although, like
some individuals of our own species VINO
make fair appearance, it is decayed and
hollow within, the heart having mOul-
dered away. The age assigned to the
finer varieties OF the apple tree is from
fifty to eighty years, thought Is said that
with proper care and attention they may
be preserved and kept in bearing much
longer. Ina wild state the apple tree is
said to be very lOnglived, and Evelyn, in
his Discourse of Fruit Trees" refers to
the speculations of an author, whom he
calls ''our honest countryman Lawson,
Of whom he says:
But our more modern authors calcu
lation for fruit trees / suppose he means
pears and apples), his allowance IS three
hundred years for growth, as many more
for their stand, as he terms it, and three
hundred for their decay, which does, in
the total amount to no less than nine hum
dred years.
This seems abruptly extrayagant. Ger
tain it is that of orchards planted in this
country eighty years since few trees are
now remaining. The pear tree is a tree
of much greater longevity. We know of
pear trees on Long Island which may be
fairly estimated to he hundred and fifty
years old, or thereabouts. Lawson quotes
. French author, NJ. Bose, as affirming
that he had seen pear trees four hundred
years old. An apple-tree, however, that
has survived the lapse of a hundred and
sixty years is q curiosity in this country.

"Hosensaek.' ,

In the upper part of Montgomery
county, Pennsylvania, says an interest
ing antiquarian correspondent of the Luz
heraa, who has been investigating the
early names of localities, there Is creek
which, together with the surrounding val
ley, bears the name OF Hosensack. Now,
as this name means no more nor less than
"breeches pocket" it might be supposed
to be derived from the pocket of the
neighboring farmers, which have the rep
utation of being so remarkably deep, that
it is very hard to get at the bottom. But
we can assure the reader that su0h is not
the case. Whatever may be the state Of
affairs at present, il can certainly have
had no effect on the naming Of the creek
or valley, for at that time no one lived
there, and il naturally follows, that.
where there were no breeches, there must
have been a great scarcity of bietches
pockets. 1t is said, that, in early times,
the valley of the Hosensack was covered
with thick growth Of timber and o
dense underwood, which, together with
the many windings of the creek, made il
a perfect labyrinth, in which it was far
easier to lose ones way than to find it
Once hunter lost his way in the valley,
and after wandering about all day long, at
last found his way out OF the wilderness,
at the same place where he had entered
it. On reaching the first farmhouse, he
exclaimed in disgust, That valley Is Ike
nothing in the world but breeches poek-
ct (Hosensackl; there Is no way of get
ting out, but by the hole you went in at,
From that day the valley was called the
'HosenSaek," and we run no risk IN as
serting that it is undoubtedly the largest
"bresohss pocket" in existence.

10 rss MEMORY OF R. H. xeLEAx.

Fare-the-well. beloved teacher;
Thou art gone from earth away,
And thy form once mild and lovely.
Now is mOuld'r ring into clay.
Low within death silent chambers,
Thou art called awhile to sleeT,
Thine eyes are closed to earthly sorrow:
While were left behind to weep.
Never more shall we behold thee,
In th inc earthly house again;
But in heaven We hope TO meet thee
Where eternal pleasures reign.
Thy familiar voice shall cheer Us
In our irksome tasks no more:
But shall swell the ssinted number.
Who'ye in triumph gone before.
We miss thee in our school-room.
When thy patient footsteps trod
And we miss thee in the Temple.
'Mong the children of our God.
Peaceful was thy happy exit
Peaceful as summers morn
While celestial rays of glory
Did thy dying face adOrn.
Peaceful be thy slumb ring moments.
In thy narrow house Of clay;
Calmly sleep till Gabriel'S trumpet
Shall proclaim the Judgment DAY.
Then with all that love the Savior.
In His glorious image rise,
Mount above the fiery billowS,
To thy home above the skies.
There We hope with JOY to hail thee.
In the fadeleSs realms above;
Sweetly blend immortal voices.
To the God Of endless love-
Then cease our tears and cease our sorroTs:
Every sad emotion quell:
ill the daHning of that morning,
We must say to thee farewell. APUPII
