be the one great, united. and leading
purpose Of al our governmental and
military fubctionaries to throw into
the field - speedily as posaible one
million of the emancipatcd slaves or
a sufficient number st least to Gil all
Cecessia with terror and dismay. and
to overwhelm completely every renew
ed attempt at pushing the rebellion
another inch. Let every mandatory
of arms be kept busy and trebled in
operative forces. Let the President
make q proclamation for negro volun-
teers, immediately upon the heel Of
the one declaring the freedom Of the
slaves and this last oncs dsse, we
shall see them. az vigorous and hardy
freemen, coming mp by thousands, ral-
lying to the standard Of the Union and
throwing themselves into active SER
vice for its rescue.
This Of course will require time and
treasure !; bat from Our best indices
it will require far more Of both time
and money to accomplish it without q
resort to these measures.
Congress-, it is true, is now prepar-H
ing for the call of l0O,00 black vol
unteers, but what is that amount CON-
pared with the present emergency !!
To the cry, 1--WE shall bankrupt the
nation" | reply, that when universal
emancipation shall have been compile
ted it will be large capital gained, for
freedom is tantamount to wealth
Hence, though We saall have become
somewhat impoverished by the vast
ing power Of war, on the I'd Of Janua-
ray we shall have acquired more by
far of real available wealth than we
have lost.
This may excite the smile Of deris-
ion with some, but when We look deep
y into ~ philosophy of just and so
cial relations, and of national prog
ress. we shall feel the full force Of
that position. and see its truth, lumin-
Gus as sunbeam.

Immediately upon the receipt Of the
order postponing the time Of the ex-
ecution from Friday, the 10th to FRI
day the 26th inst, the military au-
thorities here commenced making the
requisite preparations for the execu-
ton. To prevent disappointment to
many persons who would have other
wise collected here to witness the exe-
cution, Col. Miller issued and caused
to be circulated extensively an order
which has already been copied into
the columns Of the Press, notifying the
people Of the postpouement. Grounds
were selected upon which to erect the
gallows on the levee opposite the pres
ent Indian quarters. The gallows is
now in PROCESS OF erection, aud prom

With cypress he hath twined bis head,

ted north and south, trained on the cas-!
side of the trelis, and wide enough apar,
to admit sun and air freely. For trellis,
be put short locust posts, ?! feet IN the
ground, eight feet apart, upon which he
spiked hemlock scautling twelve feet long,
binding them together by boards, four
inches wide, at top and bottom Ga
these horizontal pieces, between each post,
be put eight perpendicular strips, to / /
inches square, upon which he 'railed each
/ year four bearing vines and form fruitilg
vines, tieing them with rye straw. He
put up the ,relis the third year, when
the vines may begin to bear, and lets as
many leaves ,emain upon each vine as
there are punches Of grape below it, pinch
ing away the surplus about the time the
fruit has fully formed.
How to keep fruits was the last topic.
Grapes were here which had been picked,
laid in single bunches, stems upward, upon
boards in a cool place, a cloth thrown over
them, TO ''swea." or take from them their
extra moisture after u day or two, they
were pu. III some cool place, with layer
Of paper between them, 50 as not to com
municate any evil to each other.-The
general rule for the treatment of apples,
seemed to be to keep them free from
bruises, dry, just below the freezing point.
When in a cellar, let it also ba dry, dark,
aud the shelves and barrels clean and
sweet paper, dry leaves, cotton, heated
sand, plaster, dried sawdust, &c, may be
used to keep them separate, to absorb
moisture, and to prevent decomposition
from spreading.- Pears should receive the
same treatment, but it is more difficult to
keep them, as they mature so quickly and
decay SO soon that they must be eaten at
just the right season to enjoy all their
!uscinusne,s.
Spending two hours in this familiar
conyerse-anlnlted by occasional tastes
of IeiicOu, fruit, even in February-I
thought how pleasant and profitable it
might be for ten, twenty, thirty, forty, or
fifty persons around Lewisburg, around
Milton, around Selnsgrove, around Sun
bury, or other central points, to gather
once month and compare views on hor-
tculiural and kindred topics. W.

(Says Lcssing's History of the United
States,) "never was Gen. Washi6g'on's
mind more clouded by doubts. ."Of-
f,crs were elected on condition that they
should throw their pay and rations into a
common stock, for the benefit Of a compa-
ny; surgeons sold recommendations Tor
furloughs, for able-bo men, at six
penc each and captain was cashiered
for stealing blankets from his soldiers.
Men went out in squads to Pluuder from
friend aud foe, TO the disgrace Of the army.
The Surgeons departments lacked instru-
meuts. Among many of the subordinate
officers, greed usurped the place of patri-
orism. Sectional differences weakened
the bond Of union, and immortality Of
every kind prevailed. "......At that time,
the enemy piled the feeble minded aud
timid with propositions Of coucedng to the
demands of England, &c. On the 22d
Dee, Washington had 10 l0G men, Of
whom only i70I were effective, in his
command. .....Yet he aud his Whig com
patriots believed they were RIGHT, aud
they PERsEvERED to the end.

Fruit Growing.

! Thursday evening, Feb. 9th, a member
invited me to attend a session OF the
Pennsylvania Fruit Growers Association,
which has had three days meeting in
Harrisburg. The fragrance Of apples,
pears, grapes, and sundry vines and other
extracts-reposing in generous prOfusion
"on the tables" Of the scciety-was so
strong, that, when on the street in front
of the Court House, had only to "follow
my nose" which led me up stairs to a
room on the s. w. side Of the building.
There were about - persons in attendance.
The presiding officer, Mr.. Harrison, is
practical, earnest, judicious gentleman, to
all appearance. There was Col. Knox,
the President of the State Agricultural
Society-and there too, was farmer Theo.
Fonn, looking as comfortable and juvenile
as though he had not been an editor for
forty years, and all his character written
to death yearly during one generation.
An honest, hearty, Berks county man,
looking very much like the late Pres't S.
". Taylor, disseminated superior apples
and pears. Coz. Slifer was the only one
l saw from the Northern part of the State.
Two year old apples were on exhibition,
and a great variety Of other fruit and
juices. Nearly all present were plain,
everyday looking men, worthy of German
origin, who made short but pertinent
speeches some were nursery linen, others
gentlemen of leisure, and others plain far
ners and printers.
The first question discussed, was that
If grape vine shelter. 1t seemed to be
houcht that a wide board nailed fiat over
. trellis, or the shelter of the caves of a
,arn or house, left the fruit nearest the
hade better and surer.
The form Of grapevine trellis, was
IMPLY illustrated by Mr.. Knox, and his
Ian endorsed by vote. He thoroughly
rained and pulverized his light clay soil,
0 the depth of twenty inches, and disap-
roved any other cultivation Of the surface,
kept cutting of or pulling up the weeds:
uch soil-needing little aid except from Q
be leaves that fall, and manured only on I
be top-he thought would need no stir. q
