MARKET GARDENS. Colonel Fremont, the
oble Chief Engineer and Superintendent of the

MARKET GARDENS.-C0OneI fremont, tue
able Chief Engineer and Superintendent Of the
Wilmington and Weldon Railroad, has recently
rendered his annual repoft, In which we fad
ssction devoted to "Fruits and Vegetables. "
l)nr readers will rem ember that on several oc-
casiops we have referred to the Intelligent
moyements which this gentleman has been
making to induce the farmers on the line OF his
road to embark iu the "trucA" business, and
we now pause upon some OF the results with
pecuiar interest. The work OF inaugurating this
special mode of garden farming was begun
last Spring, and the transportation afforded be-
ipg regular. swift aud certain, induced large
numbers to try the experiment. From April to
the first Of October, the trade went on with the
following result: $4,000 barrels of fruit and
vegetables, of an aggregate value of 500, 900.
This, Colonel Fremont says, is but the begin
ming, or in his own language, the morning
of the traffic. For the next season he estl-
mates the production along his line at l20, 900
barrels. equal to 81 ,000 900; all OF which vast
sum he expects to be realized with cOmpaIa-
lively little cost on the part OF the producers.
We are not able to say how far the hopes Of
Col Fremont have given 4 colOrlug to this
prediction, but it is certain that the energetic
aud thrifty people OF Carolina will turn their
attention with great unamimity TO this new
branch of industry, and with their bland eli
mate and generous soil, it is equally clear that
that they will find the business very lucrative
In regard to the stimulating effect Of this upon
the population, we quote from his report as
follows:
'The receipts of $1,OOO,OOO by the people
along our line for garden truck, peaches, APP
pies, strawberries. &c, will greatly relieve them
from their present depression, and enable them
to do much more on their plantations at large,
and also to Increase the growth Of this ploduc
ton the following years.
That the culture of truck aud fruit along
our line is destined. at no distant day, to give
this railway very large amount of traDSporta-
tioD at very profitable rates, no one can doubt.
''When we reflect that the amount Of tom
mage from one acre of grapes is f0rty-fVe times
greater than from an acre Of cotton, we can be-
gin to realize something of our future.
Without going into detailed calculations of
the yearly increase OF business from this new
source CT revenue-the culture OF grapes
peaches, strawberries, truck, &c.--we can
readily see vast work before US. s."-NOrfol:

DOcToRs IN MADRID.-The author sof ga
Winter Tour In Spain writes:
'Doctors have sorry reputation in Madrid,
and no wonder. 1t was our misfortune 10
come in contact with three Of them-an alarm
ing number anywhere, but doubly so here. =
Dr.. c., the first called in, frankly owned he
could make nothing of his patient, one of the
little people of our party; he thought it was
gout, but it might be, and probably was, some
thing else. Under this unsatisfactory conclu-
sion it was suggested another should be con
suited. DR.. c. gladly agreed, but said it was
the fashion to, have three at consultation so
twas settled third should be present, DIR. q.
Of course making his own choice as to who
they were to be. At the appointed hour these
three men arrived all dressed In the deepest
mourning and smoking cigars. 1t was sight
10 frighten the strongest invalid, and to send
a timid one into fits. as it very nearly did the
poor little child; however, she was quietly taken
out of sight and hearing. Then between pufs
and splitting, they each delivered their opinion,
which was worth as much as the smoke that
came from their mouths. There was first the
doctor who was the principal attendant at the
palace, then the head of the hospital for chill
dren, and lastly, Dr. G. They all agreed that
ltmight be one thing o. it might be another,
aud then they took their departure, and with
them, each two hundred reals.

ueHow TO KEEP CIDER. The editor of the
Massachusetts, Plowman remarks as follows on
the best plan to keep cider: When the cider
Is In the barrel, going through lively termen-
atiOn, add as much white sugar as will be equal
to half or three quarters of pound to each
gallon OF cider, and let the fermentation pro
ceed until the liquid attains the most agreeable
taste, then add an eighth to a quarter OF an
ounce OF sulphite Of lime to each gallon OF cider,
IN the cask, first mixing the powder 10 about a
quart of the cider, aud then pouring it back
ato the cask and giving iG thorough shaking
o. rolling After standing bunged up few
days to give time for the lime to become well
Incorporated with the cider, it may be bottled
Oi or used directly from the cask Do not mis-
!ake the Sulphate for sulphite of lime. The
after is a manufactured article, and is worth
1ythe barrel from thirty to forty cents pound.
II Will preserve the sweetness of cider but un-
sss care is taken not to use it too strong,lt will
astea little Of the sulphur.

To the Editor of the 'St. CrOix Avis"
A NATIVE.

Sir!
There is as yet no other paper in st.
Croix than the "St. Croix Avis" There
fore, however strange an article from a
member of the Government may appear
in your paper, I shall request you TO pub
lish these few lines in est. Croix Avis" at
your earliest convenience.
1t is my firm conviction, that the Gov
eminent has acted correctly in instituting
an action against you. To advise your
fellow-citizens to memorabilia a foreign
government to bring the island under their
dominion, must certainly by the Govern
ment be looked upon as q criminal act;
consequently the case had to be referred
TO the courts of law it is their province
to decide, whether you are guilty or not.
Had the Government wished to "perse-
cute" you, they might towards a paper,
edited under privilege, have found more
efficient means for so doing. But the
Government "~persecutes" no one.
A discussion as TO whether the Govern
ment have acted wisely or not in decreeing
an action against you, leads to no result,
, 1868-02-07

are to be found in Jutland, who doubtless
fill situations in their w Customs de-
partment, without having to send others
from Copenhagen, to do so.
1t IS consequently a slur on the char
acter OF the natives Of ST. Croix, when
His Excellency Governor Birch says,
"that certain situations in the Customs,
department here, are of such n nature,
that it could not be considered right in
principle to appoint any one who was
born and brought up in the same place
where the situation u.s." thereby leading
one to draw the Inference, that an indi-
vidual who was "born and brought up in
the same place where the situation is,"
could not, or would not, discharge his
duties faithfully, in any such position
When this remark was made by His
Excellency, Governor Birch, in the Colo
NAL Councils session of April 1864 wide
Saint Croix Avis No. 81 it was consider
ed by the natives 10 have been n most
unwarranted attack on their moral princi-
pies. Time, was however, tffacing the
recollections of the sad impression it then
created BUT, since Accommodated" has
again opened the wound, it is lamentabIe
10 have to state that we should for so
many years have been governed by a
gentleman, who seems 10 view the char
acter of the natives with such distrust,
and who, during this age Of improve
meDt, has not furthered the interest of
certain natives TO Royal appointments,
when it is apparent "to every one possess
ing o sense of propriety" that they merit
them, and when it is doubtless in his
power TO do so, by recommending them
thereto, to the Home Government.
In placing these remarks before you,
| would observe, that they are the senti-
ments of a large portion of the natives
Oerhaps the whole) Of the educated
class, and if His ExcelIency Governor
Birch, would give himself the trouble to
study the character, of the well informed
natives as a class, somewhat better than
he has heretofore done, he might perhaps
find reason to look upon them in q more
favourable light, and, in again casting his
verdict, he might feel the necessity of re-
considering, whether cit could not be
considered right in principle, to appoint
one in the Customs department here,
who was born and brought up in the
same place, where the situation is"
Your obdt. servt.

and there are questions of greater impor-
lance to be discussed.
Since the 18Th of November Packet
after Packet has arrived, and we have re-
ceived no information whatever as to what
is to be the fate of ST. Croix. We have
now before us the treaty concerning the
cession OF st. Thomas and St. Johns still
st. CrolX is not mentioned. therefore
share in what believe is the general feel
ing, that it is high time, not merely to
think OF, but earnestly to deliberate and
discuss, what is to become of st. Croix;
but ] would fam believe, that O discussion
could be carried on without bitter attacks
on those amongst US who happen TO be
born in Denmark, and without its being
necessary to rake up, what wrongs Den
mark in the opinion of an authof from
1845, scores of years ago, might have
done its colonies.
We ought all 10 agree on one thing,
namely TO do whatever we can, to secure
the welfare of our little island in the fu-
ture whether it would be best secured
under a Danish or under an American
rule, on that everybody may have his w
Opinion-lIthough, st. Thomas and st.
JOHNS gone, 4 uOHt DelleVe opinion differs
much on that polnt-and that we all have
a right, would say a duty, to discuss.
If You could call forth an earnest and
sober discussions on that subject, You
would undoubtedly do a good act, and many
i for one-who now keep aloof, would
readily contribute their share.
