To tho early eetllers of the West, the peach was a cheap and easily procured Ijxury. 1'he kernel was planted in the limee-comcr, and grew and produced ihfifly end healthy tree, with but little v are or culture, hearing large and regu- - !r crops of hue fruit, f,r u number of years. This being the- case, why do wo find ! so much difficulty nt the present dav? How (l i we account for this success then, . n l for our frequent failures now? In early times, when the whole face of the country wss heavily timbered, our winters were less severe than thev are now. Our climate, unlike that of Great Britain, peeins to increase in riper as the country is improve 1, until, at this time, tho peach trees are not tin frequently winter-killed. In addition to (hip, the following causes had their influence: The kernel was taiKea from the fiuit of an unbudded tree; -those bointf of course selected which proeduced good fruit thus the influence, ex..erted by the stock of evil, was avoided. ' The kernel was planted where it "was .jneant to stand tho young tree escaped xhe mutilation end check too often received in transplanting. It was left to .grow pretty much in 3 state of nature, by which the- eteni waa shaded from the injurious eriects ot the full blaze of a suramer'fl son; for thss tree, like tho beech. will not uo well it so exposed. I ne soi as fresh and good, and kept the tree in a vigorous and growing st&te. The clear ing being generally small, waa in a great measure protected trom late spring frosts The disease called "yellows" had not shown itself, nor had the peach-insect, the 'iieria KxiUota" cf n iturali$t3. Now, trees are bought from the nurserymerit lb older end larger tho bettor! Tha stocks too often produced from the kernels cf indifferent or even unhealthy j-eaches; allowed to grow two or three yais before they aie budded, dug up w iihout care, and sctce a toot, and certainly not n fibre, left for their fupport; the steins bruised and chafed, a:id closely pruiied to proportion them to the mutihted roofs. Thev aie kept out of thf- ground for a length of time; conveyed to the planting ground unpiotet ted; niJ then? set out, in little holes, dug out if tho pod, ia thin, poor soil, wlujre they me left to snuggle thro' A year ui two id a iiil-pi able, sickly existence. In the tvirs-ry-row, th top ot the one piotooud the Ftem of the other; but now there 13 r.o such deft nee. The peach !lv depoMle tt. egg?, which are left ' hatch. th-"i; i a - a it c a in the worm j to commit t - t And bringj

j generally in an open, southern exposure, the blossom -buds swell loo soon, and are

iestroved bv the first bevete frost. I. el us now stale what wo consider to be the proper practice: .Select a piece of rich, new land, if a tolerably still loam, with a surface coating of leaf mould, on th.j north or northeast bide of a hill, near a largo water course, the crops will bo more abundant and sure, the ugh not so highly flavored as if grown in a saniy soil. Plough it deeply and carefully in ;he fall; and in addition, mark off the holes, and have thorn dog down to tho subsoil, or at least two spades deep, and six feet in diameter. Il you intend purchasing trees of a nurse-ry-U'au, which U tho cheapest course, if you have ono within reach, in w hom you can depend, go as early as possible in the spring, and select young, thrifty trees, not more than one year from the Dud, and two fiom tho kernel. Have them taken up very carefully, so as not to destroy even a rootle: that can be avoided; dip the roots in sludge, if you have (o carry them more than a mile, and plant them without de lay. Throw some of the surface soil into the hole, after loosening the bottom with a spade; drive a stout stake into the centre, to which to fasten the tree; then place the tree close up alongside of the stake, and while an assistant thrpws in the surface soil around the toots, shake the tree gently, so as to allow the earth to run in and fill up every vacant space; taking care to spread the rootsout regularly, and to plant it but very little, if any, deeper than il stood before. Tread the ground 'lightly; and after pouring a couple of buckets of water round the tree, and fastening it firmly lo the slako with a soft band, you may consider tho operation of planting completed as it ought to be. Il is perfect folly to purchase trees and plant them, as they are usually planted. If the sod is not naturally rich, manure it all over, but do not put any round the roots of tha trees rich compost or mould from ihe woods or stable-yard, may be placed immediately round the roots. If it is intended lo grow tho treea from the kernel, select good ones, tho prodjee of healthy trees. Bury them in about two or three inches of soil, as soon as practicable after they are taken from the peach. If thev are in quantity, mix them with doublo their bulk of earth, and ridge them up in a eifepnrt of the garden, cor ering the whole with an inch or two of soil, and leave them over winter. To wards tho end of February, or first of March, examine them, and plant out such as have opened, but without removing the shells. Put three or four where thev arc intended to stand; aod in July or August, inoculate them with the kind of fruit you wish. In the fall or spring, all can be re moved but one. Never put of inocula f-iiipr till tho second year. For their after treatment, see the article on bu Idintr. A peach orchard should be tended in some such crop as potatoes, beets, melons, sweet potatoes, etc., and tf necessary to sow it down, let it be like clover; taking care to keep a space round tho tree, of six or eight feci m diameter, free from grass and weeds. Trees never do wdl, bear or thrive in a meadow, or blue-crass sod. For some years past, the insect called the Peach fly," or "Peach tree worm," has occasioned tne ruin of thoti.-nnda of treea in the West. See article on their history, and the preventatives to be used. The Feaeh-Troo Worm. fiie peach tree worm is the larvtc of a winged insect, called bv the naturalists the ,E?cria Exitioza. Pho perfect fly is so closely represent ed m the above cut, as to be easily recog nised: the color that predominates, i3 a steel-blue, giving it somewhat tho ap pearance of a small blun. hornet though the male and female ditler so much as scarcely to be recognized, a1? the same species, by a superficial observer. About the latter part of Julv, or begin ning of August, the perfect in-3oct makes its appearance, and lays the ground-work of the mischief by the female's deposit ing her eizgs on the bark of the peach oee, just above the surface of the ground. I his process s!i completes before the end ol September when she and the male die. During their life-time they are active and vigdenf, eonceflmg themselves through the dav. m cieks or crevices nbout the trees, fences, or other sc-cuih places, and at night issuing forth to fulfil their vocations. It n said in some instances the female deposites not less than three hundred eggs upon one tree. The egg is oblong-oval. dull-pellow, and eo small as to be r.;;!y just observable by the naked eye. It hatches into a minute grub or worm in eight or ten days, which then perforates the tender bark beneath the suifaco of the earth; thence workitij ltd way downward in the root, where tt lemam until the early part of the ensuing summer; il then directUs course upward s, towards ihe body ol the tree, consuming the aliuirnHin as it goes, and forming for itself a channel between the outer bark and the wood. A very few vi them thus rapidly destroy t larg tree. Its course may be easily irftced by the gum thst oozes from the wouudi in the tree. Having attained its full size in the hr1a1 or giub form, it next passes into the pupa state, tetn eea the nrst and miJdle

cf Julv. At that lime it may be discovered close to the trunk of the tree, ein sloped ia its follicle, and surrounded by the larore accumulation of gum, that has oozed from its desiccated channel. In this, the pupa state, it continues until it comes forth, as we before mentioned, in ihe moth, wirmed, or perfect form. When in the Untv state, it can easily be discovered under the b-irk, some three or four inches beneath tiie surface of the ground, and may be at once removed, but not until the tree !uu suffered serious injury. To prevent altogether tho female insect from depositing her eggs on the tree, must be tho principle objeot. In its winged state, it is nearly allied to the moth family. Every housewife knows that to that class of insects, aromatic oils of any kind, are peculiarly offensive, and that camphor, tobacco, turpentine or oil of tansy, placed in her drawers, will effectually preserve their contents from the attacks of tho moth. The same means are used to repel the Egria from the peach tree, while in it moth state, when only it depositee its eggs. Tobacco, snuff, and coal have been tried with partial success but they are temporary, and require to be often replaced. Tansy and wormwood contain brge quantities of essential oil, whi.di is peculiarly offensive to this insect; and it is found that if the body of ihe peach tree be surrounded by half a dozen sprouts of either of these plants, it will be perfectly secured against the approaches of this destructive enemy. They shoulj be pkmtedout in the spring, and so as lo surround it. During tho summer they must be cultivated and kepi free from grass. The red cedar has been found to have the same good effect, used and treatin the same way, kept of a low growth, and made to surround the stem of the tree. Tho disease called the 'yellows,-' eo fa

tal to many peach orchards, has been as cribed to this insect: but that is a mistake Tho real cause lias not been discovered When attacked by this disease, the leaves of tho treo becomo yedow, and shrive up, as if enveloping some insect, which however, is not the case. ISo tree sur vives its attack; and, as it is certainly con tacious, all within reach of the tree first affected becoming infected with it, the tree first attacked should bo isnmedintely dug up and burned. It is said that young trees, brought from any distance, if grown in a nursery where it prevailed, will infect a whole neighborhood: nav, that the earth in which it grew, will itself convey the disease. IS'o cure or certain preventive has yet been found. Wo can only recommend care in procuring young trees from a quar tcr where the disease ia not known; and if il do make its appearance, instantly dig up those infected and burn them. An important experiment is reported in a recent number of tho Albany Cultivator on tho effect of salt petre or nitre, on the growth of the peach tree. Mr. L. Physick of Cecil county, Md., the author of the experiment, "had always observed, that in soils containing nitrate and muriate of soda, the peach tree lives luxuriantly to an advanced age, whiie upon soils imme diatoly adjoining, immature decay takes place, and the tree seldom attains tlu age of seven -eirs. I his led him to ex am ino into tho matter sti'd farther, and the result was a confirmation of his opinion that the effect was produced by the pros enla of these salts. Ho consequently "commenced experiments with salt and salt-peire, in the year 1830, upon sn or chard six years old; clever was sown up on it that spring, and it remained in jras; till lasi fall, when it was ploughed ani sown in wheat, and clover this spring. The trees in 'oO w ere full of worms; some of the trees were dead, others apparently dying, and but very few put on the np pearance of tieakh: such was its distempered condition, that some of mv friends advised i.ie to cut down about one half of those that yet showed life, saying that sueti was liie practice oi peacn "rowers. i .1 r t Ho cut down only llioso that were dead applying equal parts of salt-pctro and common salt, about half a pound to each tree, applied on the suiface, and in con tact with the trunk. Ihe result was. perfect conviction, that the application of a half a pound ot salt-pelre to a peach (re in March, will not only add now vigor to its growth, but protect ihe tree from the worm, and almost im-ure a crop of fruit Try it, a!! who can, and report results. The second centennial anniversary of Confederation of the New England Cole nies, was celebrated at tho Chauncy Street Church on Monday, and an address delivered by John Quixcv Adams. Cube appropriate exercises took place on the occasion, and the day appears to have passed off m a most interesting and truly AW England manner. i . '. ton. y Enq. Hint to Yodno Mf.

From the Alton Telegraph. IMPOKTANT DECISION. Tiie Circuit Court of tho United tutc for tho District of Illinois Judges .McLean and Tope presiding -at its present June term, mado o deci"ion iri4regard t the extent the decision of the Supremo Court of tho United Slates, in the cae of Broson vs. Kcnzie, went touching the constitutionality of our two-third or valuation law, which, for the present, settles tho question in (his State. It Las bene generally com cded by the pre.vs, throughout the Union, and urged in many of the Courts of the different trttes. that the decision of the Supreme Court of the United .States nettled the general piinciple that all s,tjy or valuation laws tvero unconstitutional when attempted to be applied to contracts existing nt tho time of the passage of the law. and that in order to make them cwstiuional and valid ihey must t3 j;rotpective entirely in their operations. Thi waa the construction wc among others had placed upon the docidion, and so expressed oursclf in n previous number of this paper. 13ut it now oppearn we were all in error. The Circuit Court of the United States for this District, decided last week in a case brought before tho Court, that the decision of the Supreme Court ot ihe United States only willed the question that the two third or valuation law of Illinois was unconstitutional when applied to the foreclosure of mortgages and that upon all Judgments t law where the contract or cause of action accrued prior to the 1st day of Mar, 1811, the valuation law was npplicablo and binding; and that sj'cs upon execution must bo mode in accordance with its provisions. The question arose in our Circuit Court of tho United States in this way. The Deputy Marshiil in the nothem put of this fe'tate,wus instructed by tho attorney, of the plaintiff in the excutiou, to levy, advertise and sell the real estate of the defendant without valuation. Tho Deputy Marshal refused eo to do, when the attorney of the piuintilT served hira with specific written notice, requiring him to proceed as first above directed. Still persisting in his refusal, n motion was made in tho Circui Court of the United States for the District of I!li-t nois, for a rule upon the Marshal requiring him to proceed as desired by the plaintiff's uilorney. In order to present the question in its broadest as pect before the Court, a motion was also mado at the same time to vacate the rule of Court, whichat a previous terra, had adopted the valuation law of , in a modified form; assigning as reasons in support of tho latter motion, th.it in tho fut place the Supreme Court had decided the law un der which the rule was made, uncon-titutional; and secondly, that the Legislature of the State of Illinois, m the passage of the valuation law of 1842-3, had repealed in express terms the valuation law of 1640-1. The Circuit Court of this District riKNitu both motions, insisting that the Supremo Court of tho United States had only decided that the valuation law of 1810-1 of this State, was unconstitutional when attempted to ifcaue ffeiative in the foreclosure of mortie The attorney for tho plaintiffs in this case, h.n taken exceptions, and tho case will go up to the Supreme Court of the United State, and in all probability be argued and decided at it next Jan uary term. What thatdecision will be, assuming as (i data lor our opinion, the decision already mado by that highets legal tribunal known to our Constitution, in tho case of Hronson r. Kiniie, wc entertain not a doubt. We believe that Ihe Supremo Court will unhesitatingly pronounce all laws in the nature of stay or valuation hiws un constitutional and void, that are retroictive in the r operations. In order that the public mny be cor rcctlj informed in regard to tho collection laws of our Stute.as applicable to the practico of tha-Cir cuit Court of the United State for the District of lilinoi, we would inform them that at tho late valuation law of 1842-3 which in its provisions is far more obno.vous and objectionable than the valuation law of 1S40-I, has not, and will not be adopted by tho Circuit Court of this District; and that, under the provision of the valuation law of 1810-1, which was adopted in a modified form, by the Circuit Court, it ceases to opcrnte upon all contracts made or entered into since the first day of May, 1811. Consequently, all debts contracted subsequent to the first day of May, 1811, can be collected in the Circuit Court of the United States for tho District of Illinois, without nny regard whatever to the valuation. laws of this State. Apportionment The apportionment act of 184'i, fixing tho ra tio of representation in Congress, from each State, for the next ten years, governs the number of electorial votes for President and Vice Presi dent, allowed to each.

Country Newspapers.

The Cleveland Herald eays: The citizens of a county, are too apt to fu! in giving a proper support to local pap. It sho'ulj be the pride, as it is the interest of every citizen of a county to lake some paper published in i. The weekly visitations of a good paper are hka tho regular appear jnco of an old fiiend--tha whole family will gtvo it a welcome, and hold converse with iu intelligent pao. We fiy a good newspsper.jfaiid lhtuay to build a up good local newspaper, is to give it a liberal support. A publisher can no more cater lor his reader, than he can from an empty larder for his own empty Momnoh. The limes are hard it is true, but this is no good excus.or that man who neglect to tako.a paper, and to pay for it too. Most publishers have fmiihes (printers are too aensible-to live bachelors) and the products of the farm, and the mechanic's .-hop seldom fail to come in ply to keep the press in nvtion. tfendidg east for your newspapers instead of erjeouaging your own, is like sending abron t for yo-; cwn manufactures, the artisans in your roidtit stand ready to furnish. The foreign papers cost cash and the cash only, and when obtained, very often lackf the real interest and niihty of th" sheet issued in your neighborhood. The very advertisements and the weekly recop of marriages and of deaths possess an interest in the home paper, worth to a family, mote than the pittance tho sheet costs, anil the contrast in familes where they aro not, is ever the subject of remmk by Intelligent and obseiviriK travellers. The Yankees know too well, the value of newspapers as mediums of intelligence end utiefnl knowledge, to require nonionizing on the subject of -types and shadows.' Still, j g, in regard to interest and duty touching th press of their respective counties may not be out of plare, It is a good motto -Encourage your own.'" A Hard Case. An incident occurred on Sunday last in one of the respectable puet streets of our city which at any time would have been considered frightful, but which in these temperance days is indeed mo;-t passing strange. A young man whose father on dying a few years sinto left him a fortune of ?JO,00(), was teen to drive up to the residenco ol his family in a cab, so beastly intoxicated, awtul in appearance, is (o strike every one with at horrcnee.
