second Congress expired at noon yesterday. In
Its earlier days 1t accomplished some good, If its
course was not wholly free from objection but
tne shame OF Its later dongs obliterate all sense

other feeling than that of disgust and contempt.
Its death was anxiously looked for and welcomed
as possibly putting period 10 an era Of shame

Turpentlne Groves.
dine for Apri.


The turpentine forests of North Carolina
are not dark and gloomy, but on the other
hand so thinly wooded as to afford scarcely
any shade. The tree from which the tur-
pentine is obtained is known as the long
leaved pines, in Georgia, Alabama, and
some of the other Southern States; but is
only found where the original forest has
not been removed, When once cut down it
never grows again. If the land is allowed
to fall out of cultivation it is followed by
growth of oak, and this in turn is replaced
by pine of an inferior kind. The turpen-
tine pine is tall and straight, from three to
five feet in diameter, to q height of forty
or fifty feet.
1t is without branches except at the top.
The turpentine, in its crude state, is obtain
ed by tapping. About foot from and par
allel to the ground cutting is made with
an axe, at the side of the tree, to the depth
of six or eight inches high at the outside.
In the shelf pocket is scooped out, cap
able of containing quart or two, and the
gum is made to collect in it by scarifying
the bark triangularily, with single point
ing to the pocket. On large trees as
many as three or even four of these cut
tings are made, it being found that strip
of bark three inches between them will
keep the tree alive.
Each successive year more and more of
of the bark has to be removed, but even
thus tree lasts usually from fifteen to
twenty years. When the pocket has be-
come full of gum, it is barreled and car
ried away to be distilled.
The turpentine continues a uniform quail
ity through the life of the tree, but the
resin, which is the residum after distilla-
ton, rapidly deteriorates. The first years
resin is far the best, and is known as pale
or windowglass." The second and third
years. is known as "yellow Dip"
Common OF dark resin is the product OF
trees worked four years or more. The
work of attending the trees is done entirely
by negroes, one negro taking charge of a
"crop," that is of 10000 pockets, for
which the wages, since the war, have been
usually fifteen to twenty dollars per month
without board. This year wages have been
as high as twenty-five to thirty dollars.
ga CROP is estimated to yield about zoe
barrels of crude turpentine in season.
The rent of a crop varies from $50 to 200
dollars. The negroes prefer working in the
turpentine woods to any kind of agricul
tural labor as the work is better paid, and
is more ageeable in itself.

The Doom of a Traitor.

One of the most beautiful examples of
highmindedness in duelling was that of the
Earl of Balcarras, in his duel with Bene-
dict Arnold the traitor. 1t will be recol-
lected that part of the reward of that
wretched mans treachery was the rank Of
General in the British army; yet, few, n
any, of the officers would associate with
him. One day King George H., with Ar
mold beside him, addressed Lord Balcarras,
and asked him if he was not acquainted
with General Arnold.
"What, Arnold the traitor?'' replied
the high-spirited Tory. "No, may it
please your Majesty; nor have any de-
sire to know him."
So crushing an affront could not be pass
ed by in those days. Arnold sent Balcarras
challenge, and, as he held commission in
the army, the nobleman felt that he could
not refuse to meet him. They met, and,
when the word was given, Arnold fired ;
but the Earl stood motionless, looking
contemptuously at his opponent, whose ball
had grazed his cheek.
"My lord" cried Arnold, at length,
"are you not going to fire ?''
Ralcarras elevated his pistol, discharged
it in the air, hurled it towards his adverse
ry, with the memorable reply, "No, sir
l leave tDaitors to the public executioner.'
AS his lordship had received Arnold
fire without returning it, no further salts
faction could be demanded, according t.
the rules of duelling which then existed.
