"xSvHc 'r&esiie'vn Member cii, (EKarXoiie, t.S roil THE CUAIt LOTTJC JJKMOCKAT. Shade and Ornamental Trees. "Let us have" bliade, and then peace and comfort will assuredly follow. Now is the time to make preparations for its enjoyment. The many "heated terms" of political excitement, as , well as the sultry days of Summer, loudly call for some cooling and tranqvilizing influence some delightful retreat, where "the sober, second thought" may quietly indulge in its own musings. The noblest objects of the vegetable kingdom are the trees of the forest. They rear their lofty heads of shining foliage, to be ruffled by the passing breeze, in simple but majestic grandeur, as if conscious of their own firm and routtxl "posi tion in society;" and claim our admiration, not only by the beautiful aspect they impart to nature, but by their genial and protective shade. The earliest records of civilization have numer ous references to the usefulness of trees. The patriarch Abraham, we are informed, entertained three angels unawares, during ''the heat of the day, bfcjacath the tree," probably one of the fa mous "oaks of Uashan." King Solomon '-spake of trees, from the cedar tree which is in Lebanon, even unto the hyssop that springcth out of the wall." During the illustrious era of the Roman Empire, the poet Virgil composed some of his lovely pastorals ''beneath the covert of the wide spread beech." And thus downwards through the track of succeeding time other allusions, which we cannot stop to particularize, attest the . importance of sj Ivan shades. In nothing has nature been more prodigal of her charms than in the beautiful forest scenery with which we arc surrounded the living pan oramic view which greets the eyes on every side. Next to a well-regulated farm, it is jarticularly pleasing to see a choice selection of shade trees and ornamental shrubbery around the family mansion. The humble log-cabin, as well as the 1 costly palace, are thus both improved in appear ance and enhanced in value through the simple agency of natural association. How uninviting is the prospect around that dwelling where no trees are seen to adorn the surroundings, and comfort with the shade during the ardent heats of summer ! The lack is apparent the naked ness felt as we approach such a habitation. Jiclow are briefly pointed out a few of those trees and shrubs, indigenous to the Southern States, which are best adapted for shade or orna ment, with their popular and scientific names attached : American Kim (Uhnus Americana') This is our most common and widely diffused species, being found from Maine to Florida. It has graceful, out-spreading branches, and forms a magnificent shade tree, frequently attaining a largo size abundant in low-grounds, and thus within the reach of all. Small-leaved Elm (". alata'), grows in situations similar to the pre ceding. In some places it is better kuowu by its Indian name Wahoo. It is not found North of Virginia. Its smaller leaves and corky excre scences along the young branches will readily .distinguish this from any other species of Elm. Red Maple (Acer ruhrum') common in ewauips and low-grouuds. About the middle of February it throws out numerous scarlet flowers, before the nppearance of the leaves, thus giving a pleasing aspect to the surrounding naked forest, and presenting the first cheering evidence of re turning Spring. Though more aquatic in its habits than the Elms, it will grow well in the damp and shaded corners of enc'osures. Sugar Maplu tacchurfnum') This interesting and valuable species is found from Canada to Florida. In North Carolina it ;sonly found abundantly in .a few' of the high mountain counties. Along the water-courses of Lincoln, Gaston, Catawba, und other Western counties it may be occasion ally seen. It6 symmetrical top of compact bran ches, and dark green foliage make it one of the most beautiful and desirable trees for public or private grounds. Nothing but its scarcity, in remote situations from the mountains, prevents its general introduction in the South. White Ashe (i rax in vs A merican .) well known and commou throughout the United States. It makes a handsome, showy tree, aud should be introduced wherever a pleasing variety is de sired. Other interest iug species of Ashe and .Maple are occasionally found in our State, but as they cannot be easily procured, their names nre omitted. Wherever found they should be &TGught into cultivation. Magnolia (Magnolia grand ijlora) This ma jestic tree is sparingly indigenous to the lower portion of North Carolina. In Florida, Southern Alabama and Georgia it is abundant. Its erect column or trunk, from 30 to 50 feet high with out a limb; its pyramidal crown of evergreen leaves, and white, fragrant flowers, fi to S inches broad, make this perhaps the most beautiful and magmticent tree in the United States. It is now found in the catalogues of florests, and is worthy of more extensive cultivation. Large-leaved Magnolia (.1. ?nacrophfla)a. beautiful tree, more circumscribed iu its limits than the preceding. It is found sparingly on the Chattahoochio in Georgia, in middle Florida, and in Lincoln and Gaston counties iu this State. It delights in cool, moist and fertile situations, and is frequently found ou rugged hill-sides of northern exposure. Ite leaves, clustered on the extremities of the branches, are from 20 to 30 inches long, and radiate in the form of an um brella. The flowers are of a snowy whiteness, from 10 to 14 inches broad, and somewhat fra grant. Its leaves and flowers surpass in size those of any other tree or shrub in North Amer ica. About the last week of May it unfolds its large and snow-like flowers, for the admiration of all, and is .then an imposing object of grandeur and beauty. Umbrella Magnolia (Af. nmhrella) common in all the Southern States, and is generally called Cucumber Tree, a name, however, which more properly applies toa different mountainous species ( M. aevmiitata). The four remaining species of Magnolia, are all natives of North Carolina. One of these, the Sweet Bay, (M. glanca,) is the smallest, but most widely-diffused of our Magno lia. The flowers are 2 or 3 inches broad, pure white, and of grateful odor. The other species are only found on the ravines and declivities of our high mountains. This is a most beautiful gcuus of trees, and may all be made useful iu ornamenting public or private grounds. -Tulip Tree or White Foplar (Liriodendron tuUpeferd) One of the most lofty and magnifi .cenfe trees of the American forest. Its rich glassy foliage, and variegated, snowy blossoms render it highly attractive. It is generally called fhiie Poplar, but inappropriately. In Europe, rhere it nas been introduced, it bears its proper name, Tulip Tree. It is abundant in nearly all parts of the South, and should be ussd to pro duce a varied outline in ornamenting parks, ave nues and College grounds. Aspen Poplar (J'opulus grand Idcntata') Truly a Pojlart occasionally cultivated about private residences; and well known by its smooth, white bark, and coarsely-notched, tremulous leaves. The name Poplar is supposed to have been given to this genus of trees from the fact that the leaves, like the populace, arc never at rest. I It is easily propagated, and is sometimes used in adorn ing the streets of our villages. White Pine (Pinus Strobus)Thbi beautiful , tree, of immense value to Canada and the New England States, extends along the Alleghanies to. our own mountains, where it is found in con siderable abundance. Its handsome, soft-green foliage, smooth bark, and conical disposition of branches, truly render it one of the most attrac tive of forest trees. Its almost exclusive growth iu our mountains, has prevented it from receiv ing that attention it so richly deserves. It sur passes in beauty many of the costly exotics of floral catalogues. Willow Oak (Qitcrcus PIullos) A handsome tree, frequently found in low-grounds. Its smooth, narrow leaves, resembling those of the Willow, will readily distinguish it from any other Oak. It should enter into every selection where a pleasing variety is desired. Live Oak (Q. vircux) Well known under the name wherever it exists, and of inestimable value for its strength and durability in ship-building. It is found along the sea-shore, from near Nor folk, Va., to the coast of Texas, thus making it exclusively a Southern species. Its command ing, out-spread branches, and rich, ever-green foliage, render it, all times, attractive and worthy of more extensive cultivation. Holly (Hex opaca) A well known tree throughout the Souh. Its fine display of dark grcen leaves, interspersed during the close of the year with numerous scarlet berries, render it at tractive aud well adapted to purposes of orna mentation. During the gloom of Winter all ever-grcens possess a peculiar value in imparting a cheering, living aspect to sleeping nature. Carolina Buckthorn (Frangula Carolinian a) A small tree from 10 to 15 feet high, sparingly dispersed through the Southern States. The leaves are dark green, smooth and shining. The berries are at first red, but gradually assume a blackish color. It presents a handsome appear ance, and should be cultivated with other orna mental shrubbery. The above list, embraciug but a limited num ber of our most interesting forest trees, may be of service to others in making a judicious selec tion. Trees and shrubs may be transplanted, at any time, from the middle of November to the first of March the earlier the better, that the newly-imposed earth may become settled and compact about the rcots before vegetation com mences. The greater portion of the limbs and a small portion of the roots should be cut off smoothly. Some trees, as the Magnolias, the evergreens, and a few others of tender habits, re quire but little pruning simply removing the superfluous, straggling branches. It is advisable to dig the holes considerably deeper and wider than may seem necessary to partially fill them with loose, fertile soil, and then, if the work of transplanting is deferred to a late period, to make a IvhbAly about the roots. There is much truth in the old saying, "tcJiat is worth doing at all, is irorth doing well;" and forcibly applies in set ting out shade, ornamental and fruit trees. By heeding its teaching, success will, in nearly all cases, attend our labors. O. L. II. The Richest Man in America. William B. Astor is a very noticeable excep tion to the rule that the sous of rich men squan der what their fathers spent their lives in earn ing. Economy and thrift are hereditary virtues in the Astors, aud the immense wealth that old John Jacob accumulated is likely to remaiu in the family for generations. William B. Astor's life is little, but his prop erty is great. His chief distinction is that he is John Jacob Astor's son. As such he is known; as such he will be remembered. If it required, as has becu claimed, as much capacity to take care of money as to make it, then the son is equal to the father. AVilliam B. Astor has been preserved by his temperament from all extrav agances and excesses. He has the cold head and calm blood of his German aucestors, to whom irregularity was unknown, aud temptation was impossible. Associated in business with his father from his early years, he learned his habits, and follow ed his example. The power and benefit of money being one of the first things he was taught, it is not strange he has remembered his early lessou through all his years. Instead of de creasing the wealth he inherited, he has largely increased it, and has beeu for years the richest citizen iu the Uuitcd States. He is as careful of his vast property as if lie was not worth a huudred dollars; aud to day, in his seventy-sixth year, he takes more uotc of a trifling expendi ture tuau a clerk whose annual salary is not uiueh beyond his hourly income. Many persons wonder why men of great for tune contiuue to labor, instead of restinj; aud en joying themselves, and attribute it to mere love ot gain, x hey do not remember that long habit becomes second nature; that such men find rest in constant occupation, and that the enjoyment prescribed for them would be the severest pun ishment that could be inflicted. For more than fifty years William B. Astor has been a daily worker at his desk. Sentence him to idleness to morrow, and before the Christmas chimes were wrung from Trinity, the family lot iu Greenwood would have another occupant. William B. Astor's wealth cannot be accurate ly determined. He does not know himself; but it is probably $05,000,000 or 670,000,000, per haps SSO,000,000 or $90,000,000. It increases largely every year, by reason of the advances iu property, and may nearly double in value before his death. 11 is income is greatly dispropoi tioned to his fortune, because he owus such a large amount of unproductive real estate. He has much property that even his sons know nothing of, and, like his father, seem unwilling to have any one understand the immensity of his riches. It is said he is very anxious to live to see how how many of his investments will turn out, but, at seventy-six, that rare pleasure cannot be for ever enjoyed.

CL Legislature- T Inlhe House, on Saturday the 21st; Mr Pou gave notice that he would introduce a resolution requesting Congress to remove the disabilities from citizens of this State, imposed by the 14th Article. Mr Nicholson introduced a bill in favor of builders of public mills. Mr Ashworth introduced a resolution fixing the pay of members of this Assembly at $5 per day and 20 cents mileage , the Speaker of the House and President of the Senate, 07 per day and 20 cents mileage ; and the officers the same pay as members. Mr Smith of Martin, moved to lay it on the table, but withdrew it in order to allow Mr Ash worth to make an explanation. -Mr A. said that now the people were hard pressed and hardly able to get along, he thought this body should set a good example in reducing the expenses of the session. He introduced this resolution in good faith, and sincerely wished its adoption, as he thought the proposition gave a fair and ample compensation. Mr Sinclair endeavored to obtain the floor to speak upon the merits of the measure, but Mr Smith insisted upon his motion to table. The yeas and nays were demanded, but the call was not sustained, and, the motion being put it prevailed, and so the resolution was tabled. Monday, Nov. 23. Senate Mr Welker introduced a bill author izing contracts for the State to be advertised in at least three extensively circulated newspapers. lleferred to the Committee on the Judiciary. Mr Purdie introduced a bill to enable persons taking an appeal, and owning property less than the Constitutional exemption, to give bond, lle ferred to the Committee on the Judiciary.. Mr Smith introduced a resolution proposing to employ a Chaplain for the Senate, with the pay of $1 per day. Ou motion the resolution was laid .upon the table. A message, was received from the Governor, transmitting a communication from one W. C. Hodgen, of Macon county, urging the removal of Senator W. L. Love, of the 43d District, charging that he is banued by the Howard amendment, aud that he (Mr Love) has been boasting that, although he is banned, he still re tains his seat. On motion of Mr Moore, of Carteret, it was referred to the Committee on Propositions and Grievances. Mr Love arose to a question of privilege. He said that, for fear that the nature of this com munication from the Governor might prejudice Senators in regard to his case, he desired to brand the charge, that he had boasted that he was banned, as an infamous falsehood, and that he was ready to undergo au examination at any time. House Mr Malone introduced a bill entitled an act in regard to the method of obtaining a license to practice law in the State. This bill enacts that all persons who have heretofore been examined and obtained license from the Supreme Court, to practice in the County Courts, as they heretofore existed, shall be allowed to practice in all the Courts of the State, on making it appear, to the satisfaction of the presiding Judge, that he has diligently ap plied himself to the study of the law for the period of twelve months since the date of the County Court license. By the same: A bill for the benefit of securi ties and endorsers. This bill provides that, in ail cases where any security or endorser on any note, bill, bond, or other written obligation, shall consider himself in danger of loss, in consequence of his contin gent liability, either from the insolvency or mis conduct of the principal in said note, &c, or from the negligence of the paee or holder of any such iustrumcnt, it shall be lawful for such security or endorser, at auy time after such note, &c, shall have become due and payable, to cause written notice to be given to the payee or holder of any such paper or obligation, requiring him to bring suit on said obligation, and to use all'reasonable diligence to save harmless such security or en dorser. The bill further provides that if the payee or holder of any such instrument should refuse or fail, within thirty days from the ser vice of such notice, to bring suit, or fail to em- ploy reasouable efforts and diligence to save harmless such endorser or security, such failure sliall operate as a discharge of such security or endorser from all liability ou any such note, bond, &C.J provided, that this notice shall not have the effect to discharge from liability any co-security who does not join iu such notice, or who has not given a separate notice required by this act. This bill does not apply to holders of such bills, &c, who hold the same as collateral security or on trust. Both of the above bills were referred to the Committee ou the Judiciary. Mr Seymour introduced a bill to amend the act concerning the fees of Clerks of the Superior Courts, Sheriffs, &c. Keferrcd. Tuesday, Nov. 24. Senate A memorial was preseutcd, signed by prominent members of the bar, recommending an amendment to the Code of Civil Procedure; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. Mr Becman introduced a bill empowering Deputy Clerks to act as Probate Judges. House Mr Wilson introduced a resolution asking the House to petition Congress to remove the disabilities of citizens who had been all along in accord with the Reconstruction acts, and who had not endeavored to get up a second rebellion. Mr French introduced a bill to establish a rate of interest in the State. This bill makes the rate of interest 6 per cent upon all sums of money, contracts payable in money, &c, where interest is allowed, for such time as interest may accrue ; Provided, that any person, for the loan of money or sale of any property, may take at a greater rate if the parties contracting shall agree there upon ; and the rate of interest so agreed upon shall be set forth in the coutract in writing. lleferred. House bill (introduced by Mr Nicholson, of Iredell.) in reference to builders of public mills, was taken up and passed its third reading. Or dered to be engrossed and sent to the Senate. House bill No. 7, (introduced by Mr French, of New Hanover,) authorizing the Commissioners of that county to issue bonds, to meet county ex penses, to an amount not exceeding 7,000 to each Representative. Mr Proctor moved to include Robeson county. Mr Justice moved to add Rutherford county. Carried. W. J. Hayes, colored, moved to amend by adding Halifax. 3Ir Downing moved to amend by adding Union. Carried. Mr Williams, of Harnett, said he had a seri ous objection to so much power being placed in the hands of the Connty Commissioners. The people of many counties would object to being placed at the mercy of a lew men, to be taxed to pay off these bonis. He certainly objected to such power being given to the Commissioners of his county. . Mr Welch thought that this bill conferred too much power upon the Commissioners, but, if the bill was going to pass, he wished to add a provi sion, requesting the Commissioners to submit the question of making such appropriation to the ratification of the people of the county. Mr French said that every member should know what was best suited to their counties. Such a measure was absolutely necessary to his. The Poor House was full of paupers; the county Treasury completely exhausted, and the county entirely without credit, unable to borrow a dollar. They were in fact anticipating the taxes of 1869. As to the constitutionality of this measure, there was no doubt, as the Constitution expressly says that every county might raise money to meet its necessary expenses. A great many thought that they could go on and issue bonds, without con sulting this body, but, to be on the safe gidet this bill was introduced. If gentlemen were going to oppose the bill because the necessities of their counties did not require such action, he would oppose the amendment making it general. Mr Ingram moved to amend by adding Anson county. Carried. Mr Gunter moved to include Chatham. Carried. Thos. A. Sykes, colored, moved to add Pasquotank. Carried. Mr Hodnett said he opposed the bill on the ground that it was an attempt to conceal the ex pense unavoidably iucident to the new State government, by borrowing money which would be unknown to most of the people, instead of direct taxation, whereby the people could see at once the working of this new system. Mr H. called upon gentlemen to show their hands and toe the mark, so that the people could at once know what burdens of taxat ion they will be called upon to bear. The Commissioners have already, by law. the power to levy the necessary taxes for county purposes, and let them take the respon sibility to do so; and then the people can judge for themselves what advantage they have derived from the new system of government, which has recently been imposed upon us. Let there be no concealment Let the Commissioners exer cise the powers given them by law to raise money. That is the fair and manly way, for then the people will soon find out whether or not this new order of things is likely to prove a blessing. Mr Estes favored the bill. Here various gen tlemen, who had moved to include their counties, gave their reasons for so doing and the debate continued, when Mr French moved the previous question, and the motion, being put to a vote, was adopted. The question recurred upon the original proposition, as amended by the inclusion of the above mentioned counties; the Clerk called the roll, and the bill passed its second reading by a vote of yeas 6G. nays 17. Mr Seymour gave notice that he would intro duce a resolution looking towards the consolida tion of the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad with the North Carolina Railroad. Wednesday, Nov. 25. Senate Mr Winstead. from the Committee on the Judiciary, to whom was referred a bill to ; extend the time m which certain widows may dissent from a deceased husband's will, reported favorably, and the bill passed it second reading. Mr Love offered a resolution proposing to raise a Joint Committee composed of one member from each Judicial District, to examine section 11, title 2, of the Code of Procedure, and report by bill any changes which they may determine on. Adopted. Mr Blythe offered a resolution instructing the Committee on the Judiciary to give the Code of Procedure a critical examination, and to report to this body such amendments as they may deem necessary. After considerable discussion, on motion of Mr Winstead, it was amended by re committing the Code to the Commissioners ap pointed on that subject. The question recurring on the adoption of the resolution, as amended, on motiou of Mr Hayes, the whole matter was laid ou the table. House Mr Argo preseutcd a memorial from several Superior Court Clerks in the State. Re ferred to the Committee on Salaries aud Fees. Mr Pou, on the" part of the Judiciary Com mittee, presented a bill to amend an act entitled an act in relation to punishments, and asked to have it printed. It was so ordered. Mr Hoffman introduced a bill in favor of Jno. F. White, former Sheriff of Gaston county. Re ferred. Mr Malone introduced a bill to extend the jurisdiction of Justices of the Peace and for other purposes. Referred. The bill to authorize the Commissioners of New Hanover county to issue bonds- (introduced by Mr French) was taken up, and put on its 3d reading and passed. By consent, Mr Estes offered a resolution in structing the Judiciary Committee to inquire into the constitutionality of the bill passed last session, incorporating the Norh Carolina Loan aud Trust Company. The following bills, reported adversely upon by the Judiciary Committee, were taken from the calendar, and rejected upon their second reading, viz : The bill for the protection of debtors, introduced by Mr Raglaud ; the bill to amend chapter 9, Code of Civil Procedure. House resolution (introduced by Mr Wilson, of Burke.) petitiouiug Congress to remove the disabilities imposed by the 14th Article, from all citizens who have been in hearty accord with the Reconstruction Acts, who have not endeav ored to get up another rebellion; and who 'have faithfully kept their amnesty oaths, was taken up. Mr Freuch wanted to know how it was to be found out who had been loyal; nothing was contained in the resolution looking towards it. Mr Durham moved to amend by striking out after the word '"State," so as to make its opera tions include all citizens in the State. Mr Pou offered a substitute, requesting Congress to re move the disabilities imposed by the 14th Arti cle from all the citizens of the State, and moved to make the matter the special order for Wed nesday next. Mr French said he was opposed to a general removal of disabilities. It was true there were some Democrats entitled to it, but there were others who were not. Those men who said, in the last canvass, that if they were defeated at the ballot box, they would appeal to bullets and rally again around their now folded flag for such men he would never vote to have their disabilities removed. Mr Estes moved to postpone the whole matter until 1st Monday in January next. Carried.

"The Negroes in Negroland" . Mr Hinton Rowan Helper has writen another book bearing the above title. We have not seen the work, but the Philadelphia Age speaks of it as follows : "Mr Hinton Rowan Helper, who calls him self a rational Republican, has published a re markable book with the title of "The Negroes in Negroland." The name of Mr Helper, the author of "The Impending Crisis," gives absor bing interest to the present work. As a South ern man, a Republican, one who has made so sig nal a mark in the literature of politics, whose "Crisis" was the most extensively read of all essays on elavery, and whose life-long observation of the negro race gives to his opinions both weight and influence, Mr Helper's compilation will be of national importance, especially at the present time. A party of blind enthusiasts are using the political excitement, of which they are the sole originators, to support the anti-Democratic element in this country. They propose, in some sections, to give all the social and politi cal power to the negro, while in others they dare not advance so revolting a policy. To gain, in the so-called reconstructed States, enough votes to force universal suffrage on the North, is the present purpose of the Radical Republicans. The thinking men everywhere will find, on read ing Mr Helper's "Negroes in Negroland," that the black race is incapable of self-government. This race is demonstrated by Mr Helper to be barbarous per se, inherently barbaric, and that no influence can be made to reconstruct their original condition. To give this race political and social equality with the whites is to destroy the one or the other; both cannot survive the impending conflict. The hopes of the world and the faith of the lovers of truoliberty demand that these Radical efforts should be prevented now. Hr Helper's book will do much to show the wickedness of the effort, as it will demon strate its final impossibility." The author of this Book did a great deal to se cure the emancipation of the slaves in this country. PUBLIC SALE.
