Bad State oFhRa1rs.

We clip from the Mobile Register the
following account Of evil doings Of a
whole community Of raguufHa's:
The country in the vicinity Of the
lower part Of the Bay road, Old Cedar
point road, and Dog river, Is infested and
overun by large gangs Of negroes, who
live by regularly organized dcTredatiCns
upon the property Of their thrifty and
industrious nei-hb0Ts. All kinds Of rob
berry and thievcry are almost Of daily oc-
currence, and though talked Of, the ex-
t'nt OF the deF relations and the terrorism
Prevailing were rot fully brought 20 H. ht
until the murder OF n. kinEhu-ae, an
unoEcndinE old man, on his o.rn prem>
Uses. The police officers engaged in work.
ing Up this case report a d. plOTabie cons
dition Of Geairs existing in that part of
the country, the gangs Of negroes having
complete control, and practicing their
nefarious calling with impunity Houses
are fcTcibly entered, goods stolen, stocks
driven of, and still the people pTeyed
upon are pOweFless to prevent 81, so num-
erous and powerful are the robbers. Life
and property are so insecure that many
are now breaking mp and moving to other
localities, where they can be protected
aud net liable to be raided upon and have
their hard earned gains carried off. In
consequence, property IN the infested
district, can now be purchased at mere
nominal sums, ono man alone offering 70

pended upwards ofSI20O in improvement
FOR barely what the land itself cost him.
This negro ku-kiuxism, Of the worst
kind should not be tolerated. The people,
20 matter where they live. are entitled to
protection, and they should have il The
authorities should act in this natter and
act promptly, aad not allow gangs Of idle
yagabond negroes and desperodes to ran
rough shod over the country.

MANURE FOR FRUIT TREES.

1t is clear that animal manures are not
what is wanted for fruit trees, including
grape vines, berries, &c. There may be
benefit. and usually is, at first, but.the
quality of the fruit will suffer. and the
wood and foliage are not Of that healthy
character which is desired. This has been
noticed by Liebig and others. 'We'hAve
known prolific grape vines to bear more
fruit, but at an expense Of quality where
the contents of the privy were freely used
for manuring. We have always found the
best success when leaves, the wee0n9 OF
the garden, chip manure, and forest mold,
either singly or combined, have been Zee
ly applied. These seem to contain, the
different materials In proper proportion,
that is, the organic, the carbonaceous. and
the heterogeneous; the mineral needsto be
supplied, and nothing does this so satis-
factorily as wood ashes. 1t supplies large
ly potash, which Is needed.
The best success--which we ever at
tanned, was by applying coat of leaves
in the fall. worked into the soil in the
spring, followed by weddings from the
garden, clippings of the vine. with other
vegetable refuse, as mulch, sprinkled
over with wood ashes, leached or un-
leached-if the latter, more were required.
1 MS made neaitny, not excessive &3OWLo,
and increased both the quality and quanti-
ty of the fruit. 1t makes a souncer and
better keeping fruit. This with variety
of soils, but particularly clay soil
There should be good drainage and ex-
posure to air, or else, with green mulch
kept moist by the ashes, there might'b be
too much humidity. For grapes. this win
not do. Nor will it for fruit trees If there
is close. heavy top. reaching well down.

which will appear in MOSES, mildew,
rusted fruit, &c. Herbaceous material and
ashes. with occasional bone dust, we have
found the best application for fruit trees In
general, for berries, and for the grape.
Apply yearly where the soil is not rich
and in the spring, when the ground Is dry
enough, spade it well. Use sparingly. If
any, the strong, nitrogenous manures
