LOUISVILLE, June "A very large
meeting Of citizens was held tonight, at
which resolutions we're passed co-operat-
ing zealously with the Committee of
Arrangements, and any auxiliary com
mittees, to insure the complete success
of the Commercial Convention, which
meets here in 0ciober, and the erjoy-
ment Of the delegates and strangers who

1.-The annual State Tobacco Fair, which
was held in this city to-day, was a grand
success. The attendance was immense,
nearly every tobacco grower in the State
being present The number Of hogsheads
entered was FIVE hundred and fifty, which
have no parallel in the history Of the
trade. After the premiums had been
awarded, the company partook Of q
sumptuous repsst, at the close Of which
the premium tobacco was sold at prices
varying from fourteen dollars, for Bar
rem county leaf, to one hundred and fifty
dollars for Hart county bright leaf. The
premiums for the best Virginia bright
wrappers were awarded to P. 4 Z. d.

ers, and this subject has been officially
presented to the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau, but no decision has, as yet, been
rendered; but as far as can be ascer-
tanned, the ruling will be against the
claim for the reason that, if cigars. could
be manufactured without paying the tax,
the distillation Of whisky might be con-
Quoted on the same plan, and the Gov
eminent would be deprived of very
large amount of revenue.
A statement has recently appeared
that report at the State Department
shows almost conclusively that the Bra
lillian and Argentine authorities, who
control the Platte, below Ascension, in
tercepted MinisterMcM ahon's dispatches,
and that Mcmahon was at Ascension on
the first of April, and after that he as
cended the river and Joined Lopez.
There is good authority for stating that
the only authority upon this subject pos
sessed by the Department is that intelli.
gence reached Rio Jansiro on the 18th Of
April, of the arrival at Ascension of the
United States Minister resident to Para
quay. Our account received from there
reads as follows: "The American Min
lister has escaped from Lopez, and is
now under the protection of the Bra
lillian authorities in Ascension"

LONDON, June 2-In the House OF
Commons last night in response to o
query, Mr.. Monsel, the under-colonial
Secretary, stated that the policy on the
part of the Government towards the
American colonies was to throw the cost
of self-defense on each cslony. He be-
lieved that the cession of the Hudson
Bay Companys territory would be rati-
fed by Canada, and if the scheme was
successful the division would extend
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and that
every facility would be given to forward
the interests of British Columbia in con-
nection with those of Canada.
Stafford Northcutt thought the Cana
dams able to decide their own actions,
and said he believed the question would
be satisfactorily settled.
MIR. Bruce regarded Canada as the
future highway to India, and ridiculed
any project for annexiRg Canada to the
United States.
Mr.. Adderly regarded the present ar
rangement as satisfactory, and said that
while generally disappearing of Govern
ment guarantees would vote for this.
The Star publishes highly compli'
mentary article, in which it says: 1.-THE
character of Mr.. Motley is in itself sui
ficient indication that the United States
will treat the impending subject honor
ably, while the presence of Mr.. Bright in
the English Cabinet and with Mr.. Glad
stone at the head of the ministry, consti-
tutes a sufficient and equal guarantee that
England loves peace, and that determi-
nation to do justice animates the min
istry.
The Telegraph thinks that Mr.. Motley
will, for the present, devote himself to
the discharge Of the ordinary duties OF
his office, and in that capacity he may
consolidate that cordial alliance which
ought to exist between the two coustries
1t will be reprosch to the English poll
ticiaus and journals if, for the sake of
pandering to the popular prejudice, they
throw difficulties in the way Of the mis-
sions of good will and peace, which Mr..
Motley declares he comes to carry out,
even to the end.
The Times understands that no new
demands has been addressed TO England,
and that Mr.. Motley enters on his duties
without any prospect Of controversy, but
at the same time says the English Gov
eminent should examine any new propo-
sails and see If they promise just and
equitable solution of the question and
il the neutrality proclamation is made
the subject of grievance, we are bound to
listen TO arguments addressed, though it
is impossible that any good purpose
would be subserved by raising such dis
cussion.

James allen, Esq:
DEAR SR-In compliance with your
request I send you this brief approxi-
mate statement in relation to my OBJ
servatiOns and efforts in fruit growing
In Nebraska.
commenced planting fruit trees on
the block of eight lots where I live,
in 1857, and on my farm adjacent to
town in 1858, and have now about two
thousand trees growing; and many
Of them are apparently old enough
and large enough to yield an abund-
ance Of fruit, and yet they have borne
but little, Butin our rich, penetrable
soil, with nothing beneath to obstruct
the growth Of the roots, they are still
in vigorous and healthy progress, and
are therefore not yet ready to bear a
full crop. Tn soil only a few inches
deep, resting on stone, gravel, stiff
clay, or hard-pan, apple trees must
bear and die much sooner than in our
soil, measuring many feet in depth Of
rich, yellow mould, without anything
at the bottom to stop the growth OF
the roots.
I have fine healthy trees Of large
growth, and ten years old, apparently
too much absorbed in extending their
roots to produce any considerable
number Of apples. For years I have
been longing to taste the fruit Of the
many varieties Of trees I have grown
so successfully, but as yet have been
gratihed only to a limited extent. But
I have faith in the philosophy herein
advanced, and confidently believe thai
when the apple trees Of Nebraska
complete the growth of their roots, we
win have plenty Of fruit for the mill
lion, and as superior in size as the
trees that bear it.
Earlier bearing might perhaps b
forced by root pruning; but it is Fea,
sonable to suppose that this unnatural
and violent treatment would have q
damaging effect in the long run. The
gophers pruned one OF my trees Sc
extensively that it lost its perpendicu
iarity and leaned very much, but tbs
following season bore apples, whils
Others Of the same age and kind die
not. This solitary ease suggested rooi
pruning AZ an experiment to be tried
by those who are too impatient to wall
