For the Carolina Farmer.
HOW SHALL WE MAINTAIN THE
FERTILLITV OP THE SOIL OF
i OUK ORCHARD TREES f
This of course can be done from
the resources of the barn-yard and
compost heaps, but for large orch
ards this cannot be allowed in suffi
cient quantities; for the farmer has
other and pressing uses for the main
bulk of his manure. How then shall
we supply this requisite and enable
the fruit trees to sustain themselves
year after year under the exhaustive
process of bearing full crops? We
answer by the ' judicious application
of the clover and plaster system; and,
we should manage it in this way As
no-small grain crops are allowable in
an-ore'hard. old or vounsr. we DroDose
following aiiy kind of hoed crops, or
a fall fallow, with clover alone, sowed
in fall or spring and lightly dressed
with plaster; arid the next spring a
full allowance of plasten-
The crop thus produced should be
turned under early the next fall with
a two-horse plow with the precau
tion not to disturb the roots of the
trees. Harrow down at every plow
ing. No grazing of course, but the
rankest spots should be mowed and
the swaths placed under the trees as

and there will 'still remain plover

REPUBLICAN MOVEMENTS.
Dissatisfaction In Consren at tlie
President's Coarse Arkansas Mes-
sase. :-
TBaltimore Sun.l
v Washington, February 9.
Whatever may be the result in the
Senate on the Presidents special mes
sage in relation to the State of" Ar-,
kansas, it is certain that it has caused
a split among the Republicans in. the
House of Representatives, and so far
as can be ascertained the majority-ef
the members are disposed to adhere
to the Poland report. . A -prominent
Western Republican remarked to-day
to a Democratic member that if the
Democrats would keep in their seats
they would 8ee in a few days one of
the liveliest discussions of this ques
tion among the Republicans that has
ever occurred in the House. The
more the message is- read and studied
the deeper s becomes the conviction
that its tendencies are of the most
mischievous character. A leading
Republican member from New Eng
land said this evening that this Ar
kansas message had dashed to the
earthwhatever hopes might have
been entertained of carrying New
Hampshire and Connecticut for -the
Republican party in the spring. - He
also said that he did not intend to
vote for one single line of partisan
legislation during the remainder of
thiy session. '
It was stated to-nieht, as coming
from those familiar with the Clayton
Dqrsey programme, that if Congress.
adjourns witnout : action,- tne prwe
gramme is for Brooks by a coup d'etat
to seize the government of Arkansas,
and that the President will sustain him
with the army. "
The Democratic Senators held a
caucus to-day in regard to tihe politi
cal situation. There was quite a free
exchange of views over the Arkansas
and Louisiana matters, and it was
agreed that there should be no flinch
ing in. the line of duty as to these and
Ttindred subjects.- Ho definite course
of action was determined upon for
i' the reason that the Radical majority
have as yet developed no plaus of
: what they propose to do.
At the recent joint meeting of the
! caucus committees appointed to in
vestigate affairs in the Southern
jStates asub-committee was appointed
to prepare bills tobe presented to
Congress for its action. As soon as
they had agreed they were to call an
other meeting of the Republican cau
cus. The names of the sub-committee
have been purposely kept quiet, but
there seAis to be no doubt now that
-they have up to this timsbeen unable
to agree in consequence of the de
mands of the Southern extremists,
who make such extravagant-demands
that the Northern Republicans will
not entertain them. "- ' .
The special committee appointed to
investigate affairs in the State of Mis
sissippi have taken no testimony re
cently, and will be prepared to con
sider their report as soon as the testi
mony previously taken shall have
been printed.. So far as there has
been any expression of opinion up to
this time the indications are that the
report will be unanimous, as the mem
bers of the committee have so far ex
pressed opinions satisfactory to each
other.
The Senate Judiciary Committee
toot up the civil rights bill r for con
sideration to-day, and the Republican
members of the committee indicate a
disposition to report it to the Senate
as soon as practicable. It is now un
derstood that the President is willing
to sign this bill as it passed the House,
and would even sign a measure going
still further.

The necessity of a' popular medium for the repre
sentation tf the productions of our great Artists,
has always been recognized, and many attempts
have been made to meet the want. The successive
failures which so invariably followed each attempt
in this country to establish an art journal, did not
prove the indifference of the people of America to
the claims of high art. So soon as a proper ap
preciation of the want and an ability to meet it were
ehown, tie public at once rallied with enthusiasm
10 its support, and the result was a great artistic
and commercial triumph THE ALPINE.
THE ALU1NE, while issued with all the regu
larity, has none of the temporary or timely interest
characteristic of ordinary periodicals, it is an ele
gant miscellany of pare, light, and graceful litera
ture; and a collection of pictures, the rarest speci
mens of artistic skill, in black ' and white. Al
though each succeeding number affords a fresh
pleasure to its friends, the real value and beauty of
TuE ALDUS K will be most appreciated after it ia
bou-d up at the close of the year. While other
publications may claim superior cheapness, as com
pared with rivals of a similar class, THE- ALDINE
is a a unique and original conception alone and'
unapproached absolute y without competition in
price or character. The possessor of a complete
volume can not duplicate tne quantity of fine paper
and engravings in any other shape or number of
volumes fur ten times its cost; and, there is the
chroma, besides!
i. he national feature of TUB ALDINE must be
taken in no narrow sense. True art is cosmopoli
tan. W hiitt THE ALDINE is a strictly American
institution, it do 8 not confine itself entirely to the
reproduction of native art. Its mission is to culti
vate a broad and appreciative art taste, one that
will discriminate only on grounds of intrinsic
merit. Thus, while placing before the patrons, of
THE ALDINE, as a leading characteristic, the pro
ductions of the most noted American artists, atten
tion will always be given to specimens from foreign
masters, giving subscribers all the pleasure and in
struction obtainable from home or foreign sources.
The artisiic illustration of American scenery,
original with TitE ALDINE, is an important fea
tuie, and its magnificent plates are of a eize more
appropriate to the satisfactory treatment of details
than can be afforded by kny inferior page. The
judicious intert-pexsion of landscape, marine, figure,
and animal subjects, sustain as unabated interest,
impossible where the scope of the worn, confines
the artist too closely to a single style of subject.
Tne literature of THE ALDINE is alLjbtandgiace
f ul accompaniment, worthy of the artistic features,
with only such technical disquisitions as do not- in
terfere .with the popular interest of the work.

American Cyclopaedia
New Revised Edition.
Entirely rewritten by the a.ilest writers on every sub
ject. Printed from new type, and illustrated
with Several thousand Enbavings and Maps.
The wcm eriginally published under the title of
Thb New Akebicam CycloPjKdia vi ai completed in
1803, since which time the wide circu. ation which it
has attained in all parts of the Uuiu.1 Mates, and
the signal developments which have u.ken place it
everv branch of science, literature, and rt, nave in
duced the editors and publishers to submit to an ex
act and thorough revision, and to issue u new edi
tion entitled The American Cyclopaedia.
W ithin the last ten years the progress of discovery
in every department of knowledge has made a new
work of reference an imperative want, i
Tho movement of nolitical affairs has Keutrjace
ith the discoveries of science, and their fruitful ap
plication to the industrial and uselul arts ana the
convenience and refinement of social - life. Great
wars and consequent revolutions have occurred, in
volving national changes of peculiar moment. The
civil war of our own county, which was at it height
when the last volume of the old work appeared, has
happily been ended, and a new course of commercial
and industrial activity has been commenced.
Large accessions to our geographical knowledge
have been made by the indefatigable explorers of
Africa.
The ereat Dolitical revolutions of the last decade,
with the natural result of the lapse of time, have
brought into public view a multitude of new men,
whose names are in every one's mouth, and of whose
lives every one is curious to know the particulars.
Great battles have been fought and important sieges
maintained, of which the details are as yet preserved
only in tbe newspapers or in the transient publica
tions OI tne nay, out, wuivu uiutnt uuw tu uute uieif
permanent and authentic history-
In preparing the present edition for the press, it
has accordingly been the aim of the editors to bring
down the information to the latest possible dates,
and to furnish an accurate account of the most re
cent discoveries in science, of every fresh produc
tion in literature, and of the newest inventions in
the practical arts, as well as to give a succinct and
original record of the progress of political events.
The work has been begun after long and careful
preliminary labor, and with the most ample resources
for carrying it on to a successful termination.
None of the original stereotype plates have been
nsed. but everv nase has been printed on new type,
forming in fact a new Cyclopaedia, with the same
man and compass as its predecessor, but with a far
greater pecuniary expenditure, and with such im
provements in its composition as have been suggest
ed bv loneer experience and enlarged knowledge.
The illustrations which are introduced for the flist
time in tbe present edition have Deen added not ror
the sake of nictorial effect, but to give greater lucid
ity 2nd force to the explanations in the text They
embrace all branches oi science ana oi natural nistc
rv. and denict the most famous and remarkable fea
tures of scenery, architecture, and art, as well as Jie
processes of meonanics ana manuiacturers. ai
thonch intended for instruction rather than embel
lishment, no pains have been spared to insure their
artistic excellence; tnr cost oi weir execution m
enormous, and it ia believed they will find a welcome
reception as an anmiraDie ieature oi me cyctopseaia,
And worth v of its hieh character.
This work is sold to hubscribers only, payable on
delivery of each volume. It wfM be completed in

THE CHILDREN'S FRIEND WILL BE PU

Oxford, N. C. It. will tnter field occupied by no
other paper; representing no party in pohtics and no
sect iu religion; but helping all parties and all sects
to unite in promoting the judicious education of ihe
young, and the continuous improvement of the old.
It will discuss the duties and privileges of parents
and teachers, and will defend the rights and de
nounce the wrongs of children. It will explain how
our University lies desolate and our Colleges and
Schools are poorly attended, while tbe Stockade it
self seems ro be too small to contain the vast
throngs which crowd our penitentiary. It will give
special attenrien to poor orphans, and will tell them
how to escape their . present degradation, how to
grow up into wise and virtuous men and women, and
how to secure liberal wapes for honest work. The
object of the paper is to help all onr people to be
good and do good. 1 Price, one dollar a year, always
in advance, j A few cash advertisements will be ad
mitted, at ten cents a line for the first insertion,
and five cents a line for each er bsequent insertion.
The same advertisement will not be sinserted more
than thirteen times, as a live paper can not afford to
sing any one song forever. The first number will
appear on Wednesday, the sixth of January, 1875.
All friends of the young are requested to forward
subscriptions at once.

WhUe this enterprise is not conducted under the

that noble institution, the Oxford Orphan Asylum,
which was established by the Grand Ledge of the

of members of the Order. - . : '
The object is exclusively for the benefit of the
Orphan Asylum, and the Committee deem it un
necessary to make any extended appeal to the peo

which is sot worthy, of their t-upnort. Thu low price
of the tickets places it in the power of every one to
aid noble cause, and at the Fame lime the chance
