THE VALUE OF TREES.

PhilOsophlc enquiry seems to have
proven that the most fertile country
may he converted into a desert, by
stripping II Of trees. In this way, it
is argued, the sandy wastes of the
Eastern Continent were brought into
existence, and this position seems to
be strengthened by the fact that
rains now fall along the line of the
Suez Canal where trees have been
extensively planted. We believe it
has come within the observation of
all old settlers in the North and
Southwest that humidity disappears
With the telling of the forests, and
drouths are more frequent and pro-
longed in proportion to the destruc-
ton of the trees.
If this be true, 1t is important that
farmers should gravely consider its
Importance and save timber that Is
now SO lavishly destroyed as sup
posed incumbrance upon the soil.
Within our limited observation,
springs have gone dry that We're con-
sidered perennial, and rivers have de-
generated into creeks. Is there any
other solution of this phenomenon
than the dryness that attends ex-
tensive openings In the original for
ests? So prevalent is the belief in
the general truth of this theory of
drought and sterility that appeals are
constantly being made in behalf of
the preservation of trees, as indis-
pensible agents in maintaining the
fertility Of the soil.
In this section of country economy
OF timber may not, now, be impera-
tive; but considering the miles of
crooked fence built every year, and
yearly to be repaired; considering
the amount of timber yearly sacra-
feed to tobacco raising, the day may
not be distant when the present waste
will be source of universal regret.
1t may be objected to our position,
that the immense prairies are the
most fertile portions of the sections
which embrace them. We reply
that the prairies are thickly covered
with grass which guards them
against evaporation, and by its con
slant decomposition maintains their
fertility. A prairie without grass is
a desert. Let our farmers pursue the
policy indicated by nature, cover up
their cleared lands with vegetation,
ann al, or perennial, and guard
against the sterility consequent upon
nudity, and the dryness of the at
mosphere which follows the exhaus-
tion of surface moisture.

A sEw COUNTY Is -CoSrEMPLA.
= e. TON. ~ t

We went TO Erin on Saturday last,
to attend u meeting for the organiza-
/ ton of new county out Of fractions
Of Stewart, Dickson and Montgom-
cry. All that was done, however,
was to inauguratc measures for the
survey Of the territory proposed to be
detached from the three counties
named. Gen. J. NJ. Quarles, by re-
quest, explained the provisions Of the
constitution In reference to the for
nation of new counties, and thus
furnished the basis for. future action.
For the benefit Of those directly con-
cerned in this movement, we copy
that portion OF the constitution
which bears directly upon the sub
ject: 2"
"Sec. a. New counties may be es-
tahlished by the Legislature, to con-
sist of not less than two hundred and
sevenfy-fve square miles, and which
shall contain population OF seven
hundred qualified voters. No line Of
such county shall approach the court
house, of any old county from which
1t may be taken nearer than eleven
miles, nor shall said old county be
reduced to less than five hundred
square miles. . The fractions
taken from old counties to form new
counties, or taken from one county
and added to another, shsll continue
liable for their pro rata of all debts
contracted by their respective coun-
ties prior to the separation, and be
entitled to their proportion of any
stocks or credits belonging to such
old countless I.e.--.--. ~
Keeping these constitutional pro-
visions in view, the friends of the
new county will know exactly what
Is to be done in order to accomplish
their object. We will endeavor to
keep posted, and report proceedings.
In conclusion, we return thanks to
Mr.. Meek for his courtesy and kind
ness, and congratulate him upon the
superior condition of that portion of
the road ON which we travelled.
Erin is q thriving place, and there
are signs of progress along the line
Of the road between that place and
this.

On the 25th of April, 1870, at the resi-
dence OF William Dowdy. OF s3tewart coun-
~, Mr.. HENRY Il. POWERS, of conjestiye
chill--aged about 81 years.
Henry, the son OF William b. and Hen
rietta Powers, was boru and raised In Mont
gomery county, Tenn. He protested reli-
gion when quite young, Joined the Metho-
dist Church, in which he lived and died a
faithful and consistent member. In the
year 81, espousing the Southern cause, he
Joined the army in its defense, where he
served with unfiihching nerve and patri-
otto devotion until the close of tho war.
Amidst the many perilous and dem oral
izing scenes, in camp, upon the battlefield
the torture 10 which he was subject for
abouts seven months in the enemy's prison
and all the trying scenes to which the SOL
der Is subject, he always exhibited the
same characteristics of deS oted christian,
answering integrity, calmness and hui
mility. His business having called him
from home for several months past, he
had sentan appointment to meet his sing
Ing class at McKendree Church on the da =
previous to his death but as IL pleased the
Ailwise Creator, he is taken from our midst
and his choir has lost its gallant leader.
But II they will follow and profit by his
example, they, as a happified band OF vo-
calists, may meet and with him sing
praises 30 the Great Jehovah through out
eternity. With his fathers family his va
cancy can never be filled; in him, society
has lost an ornament, and the Church one
OF It's most devoted members.
We tender our heartfelt sympathies to
the bereft family. May they find comfort
In the consoling thought "that their loss
Is his eternal gain" He is not dead, but
sleepeth. May the blessings of Heaven
rest upon his aged parents In their dis
tressed condition.. Though the solace Of
their declining years and the star that IL
Illuminated their enfeebled steps has been
snatchcd from the walks of men, 1t was
only to be transplanted amidst the seraphs
OF eternal glory. Bssees.

best that has been issued. Besides nu-
merous well written literary articles,
the first concerning Munsey and
Punchon, the two great Methodist
Divines, there Is an editorial about
the publication Of magazine putfs
manufactured ut the North, which
are inserted In Southern newspapers,
which smacks of the right grit in
every line. Most of our Southern
papers are lavish in their notices OF
Northern publications, whilst they
suffer their home productions to pass
by without mention. Change the
programme, gentlemen, and help
