IN the country, branches OF trees are thrown

are found on almost every farm. They arc
TIE prolific sources OF fungus in all it's

caused by fungus, while rust and mildew
are only different names for different forms

In the garden aud orchard, everything that

The Importance of doing this promptly is
not generaly understood. If tho branches
Of trees, potato-tops and woody matter OF

II would mako excellent manure. Aud IN

The Freedmen.

An order was issued by the War
Department about two weeks ago,
restoring the Sea Islands, on the coast
Of Georgia and South Carolina, assign.
ed by Gen. Sherman for the use of the
freedmen, who followed in the wake OF
his army during its march from Atlanta
to Savannah, to their former owners.
1t was issued in consequence of a one
sided statement to the President, by
agents of the owners who spent some
weeks there for that purpose. AS soon
as Information of the order reached
Charleston and Savannah, the Northern
friends of the freedmen started a gen
tlcman. engaged for long time in la.
bors for the benefit of the freedmen,
to Washington, to secure the suspen-
sion Of the order by urgent representa-
tons to the proper au thoritics Of the
misery its execution would work to
to the newly settled population Of the
Islands. The gentleman, by a state
ment of the facts of the case, has al
ready interested Chief Justice Chase,
Secretary Harlan and Pustmaste ter Gen.
eral Dennison in the matter, who have
engaged themselves to secure recon.
sideration of the subject by the Presi.
dent and the Secretary of War.
No less than thirty to thir,y-hvc
thousand freedmen have settled upon
the islands in question, under the order
Of Gen. Sherman, since last spring
To return the islands to their former
owners, would he tantamount to depri.
wing the greater portion of these
people of their only means of support
ing themselves and turning them, a
vast horde of beggars and Migrants
by compnlsion. loose upon the States
of Georgia and South Carolina. Their
expulsion from newly acquired homes
would int1ict measnreless suffering
and wretchedness upon them. ..

Unitarian Journal.

The October number of the Month
ly Journal of the American Unitarian
Association" published at 245 Wash
ington street, Boston, Mass, is receiv-
ed. 1t contains forty-eight pages of
closely printed matter, and the price
is $500 per annum, payable in ad-
vance. We make the following ex-
tract as being applicable to this local
ity:
eff religious societies could know
beforehand how contagious is the spir-
it of religious enterprise, how new
life is usually developed by earnest
labor how new friends rally to a
cause, and very naturally too, when
they see the old ones determined that
it shall succeed, they certainly would
not defer from year to year, as they
do in many cases, the work of provid-
ing themselves with suitable church
accommodations. How frequently it
happens that society commences SER
vices i'm hall or schoolroom, and con-
tinues in it for years or, worse still,
is driven from place to place, often in
to unattractivc and sometimes very
uncomfortable quarters, losing con,
stantly the interest and influence
which a new enterprise is very likely
to create, till at last, when it sees that
it must have a church, a religious home,
with all its blessed and holy associa
tons, or disband, and give mp in des
pair, it finds that it has really less
ability of every sort, less hope, ant
less heart, than it had when it com
menced."
1t is wiscst to do what ought tt
be done,' should be the motto in al
such cases. .......

Our Foreign Relations.

The official London Gazette publish !
es an important correspondence be-
tween Mr.. Adams, our Minister to
Great Britain, and Earl Russell con-
corning the depredations committed
by the Shenandoah. Mr.. Adams gives
once more notice that the United
States will hold Great Britain respon-
sible for all the damages caused by
these Anglo-Rebel cruisers. Earl Rus
sci, as in former replies, insists that
England has not violated any interna-
tional law, and, therefore, is not re-
sponsible for the rebel cruisers. In a
second letter, Earl Russell mentions a
statement made in letter from MIR.
Adams in April, 1868, as to the Gov
eminent of the United States being
ready to refer these disputes to arbi-
tration, and he declines to accept this
offer. The only concession Earl Rus
sci is willing to make is the appoint
ment of Commission to which shall
be referred all claims arising during
the late civil war, which the two pow
ers shall agree to refer to the Commits
sioners. The final reply of Mr.. Adams,
dated September Is, is very serious in
its tone, and expresses the opinion
that the proposal of Earl Russell will
not be accepted by the United States.
Mr.. Adams, in this last reply, again
calls the attention of the English Gov
eminent to the fact that if its doctrines
and practices are allowed to become
the rule, the United States will not be
the greatest losers. The London pa
pers which editorially refer to the cor
respondence speak Of the Importance
of the international questions to be
settled in this dispute, but do not APP
pear to expect any serious complica-
ton between the two countries to
arise therefrom.
The N. Y. Times, which is regarded
as a semi-official organ of the Presi-
dent, after declaring that Lord Russell,
in rejecting arbitration, rejected some
thing which Mr.. Adams never tender
ed him or suggested, says:
$50 far as national honor is con
cerned, Earl Russell may rely upon it
that the United States have no thoughts
of surrendering to any power on earth
the decision of any question which can
affect her own in the slightest degree,
nor will they willingly consent to the
surrender Of principles Of information
al law, which are essential to the very
existence of such thing AS neutrality,
and which cannot be discarded, as
England now, in the mistaken view of
her own interests, looks to see, with
out making every war the signal of
universal confagration."
1t is announced that the Secretary
of the Navy has ordered all our avail
able steam war vessels to get ready
for sea-an interesting fact, taken in
connection with the correspondence
between our Minister in London and
Earl Russell.
