HOW TO RAISE FRUIT EVERY YEAR.
If rightly anderstood, lew trees, unless ab
solutely dead or rotten, need occupy ground
without yielding a plemeoua crop. Alter
long and varied exierimeoMi I tradaallv
adopted Ihe following mode : Aa soon aa the
winter has sulliriently dtsappeartd. and be-
lore the sap ascends, I rxaiuuie my trees.
every dead bough is lopped olfi then, alter
Ilia aap has risen sumt ieutly to show where
the blossoms will be, I culiawyfal!dje. oilier
branches having none on, and also the extrem
ity uf every liuib, the lower part of which
bears a considerable number of buds, thus
concentrating the sap of the tree upon the ma
turation of, its fruits, and saving what would
he a useless expenditure of streugth. In the
quince, apricot and peaeh trees, this is very
important, as these are verv apt to he luxuri
ant with leave and destitute of fruit. You
may think this injures the trees, but it dji s
nut; for you will find trees laden with fruit
which formerly yielded nothing. Of course,
all other weH known precautious must he at
tended to ; such a rutting out worina from
the routs, placing old iron on the limbs, which
act as a ionic to the sup, tie. Try it, ye who
have failed in raising fruit.
SAW-DUhVT AS LITTER.
'The above material has been successfully
introduced as litter fur horses in Oliui, instead
of straw, and may be profitably employed for
this purpose when the latter article is dear.
The "Ohio Cultivator" contain the follow
ing remarks upon thn subject: "Several bush
els of dry saw-dust are thrown into the stall,
upon wlticS ihe horse stands duiing the uighl.
In the morning it will be found that about a
bushel baa to be removed one-half of which

My Dear Sir; Yours of the 28ib nit. did

of having been directed lo rarmvtlle, instead
of Stony Point - Mills; and I take the earliest
opportunity lo reply to it
My experiment in growing sucn a heavy
crop of lobecco last year, has attracted a great
deal of attention, and I take p'eaaure in de-
lading it for the benefit of Ihe planting interest
of ths state. 1 he ground was pretty liberally
diessed with home-made manuree, from my
stable, farm-pens and pita, aa I think ought
always lo be done, if wc would grow tobacco
profitably. When I was going tobed the land
Aw- hilling, or robbing dowq, which I prefer, I
sowed on each acre the following mixlnra 1 1
bushels sifted Peruvian Guano, weighing, I
judge, about one hundred pounds, ii-iimately
mixed with one bushel ni ground alum eaii.
I then mixed 31 . bushel Mexican Cuano
weighing, I suppose, ons hundred and sixty or
one hundred and seventy pounds and J t
bushel ef KeltleweH's Mixture of Potash and
Plaster, or about one hundred and fifty or one
hundred ami sixty pounds; and' shovelled
them sll well together, and sowed the mixture
broadcast. The eost of the whole was about
9 39 per acre. The crop that was planted
in good time I was scarrs of plants, and lb
season very difficult I am sura, far ax

My reasons for ibis etoo of cultivation are

and the tobacco plant must havethese elements

Ihe idea nf mtxirif the two! The salt was put
with ihe Peruvian to fix the aminoaia. and lo
furnish the muriates and the soda. But Ihe

in?. Esq., J'ttaiit hi the Contt Survey,
to the Siiieri'ilenilent, on the Surrey of
Beaufort, AWA Carolina.
Washington, May 11, 1851.
Dear Sia: 'The survey is ex
tended, on ihe outside shore, shoot three miles
from either point of the inlet, snd beyond ihe
limits of Ihe bar and shoals nf its entrance.
In the harbor and about the lown, I have car
ried the survey beyond all ihe important lo
rallies, so ss lo fully include all Ihe channel
ways connecting the harbour with the interi
waters, anil furnishing topographical detail to
show the approaches by land lo the best wa
ter and landings, with the character nf the
shore, which is of course represented in our
conventional signs.
1 have also made as accurate a survey s
their character will admit, of the shoals and
bars within the harbor, as they exist at low
water nf ordinary spring tides.
In reporting upon the natural character and
peculiarities of Beaufort, as s harbor aud
port, I will slate such facts as have come un
der my personal knowledge, and also com
municate my opinion regarding its entrance
and ihe facilities il might afurd to the com
mercial interest of this region.
The outside beach, or "bank," opposite
Beaufort harbor, Is of the usual formation of
this coast. It is mostly covered with low
pine, and mixed growth, and its average width
is about half a utile; the sand hills and ii Ijp s
uf on rt are lion 20 lo 83 or 40 feet high,
thus forming a good and sufficient shelter,
from both wind and sea. In all veaaels anchor
ed insidethe banks; ihe hnlding-ground is al
so good, as shown by tlis results of the hydro-
graphical survey.
1 he interior shores of the harbor are most
ly of marsh, grown with masses of oyster
beds snd shells, which, near ihe edges and
where Ihe rand ha united with them, are
quite hard and solid. Al Leuoxvilln and
Shepherd's Point, and al the town of Beau
fort, the main upland comes lo the water's
edge. At Ihe twoformer points, the deep wa
ters of Ne tarpon and North River channels
approach quite near the shore, and without
any inlei veiling shoals.
During the last Uiirty years there does not
appeir lo have been any particular change,
either in the shore line or shoals wifhin the
limits uf ihe harbor. The cause aud action
ol tide, ii:, which first formed them, seem In
continue diem in their general position snd ex
tent. That the inlet anil bar ol llesufort are prob
ably the best on our whole eastern sea
coast, south uf ihe Chesapeske Bay, is,
I believe, a matter of fact, and oeeda no com
ment. 'There are two principal causes, wltjch I
think, have preserved this inlet, and will
continue lo keep il open, nrobabl) deep
er lhan any of the other harbors on this
coast.
One of these causes is the shelter and eddy
currents occasioned by Cape Lookout. The
influence of these eartent upon ths Inlet, o-
pening a il does in Ihe South, and in the
"bile" of the cove immediately under it, fa,
to cul and carry a a ay the sands and shosl
which storms may throw up, and deposit
ihera st llie- point ol the cape. At least, it is
obtioua that the influent which has formed
Cape Ijooknut. and erestra tha deep water
and bold shore of this rove immediately south
nf it, will not allow anv depositee to take
plaes al a noint were the eddy and eoonler
currenis have this great effect; while the pro
jection ol ilia cape, and lha ehoals extending
beyond it, prevent the action of die sea with
in tins cove from being aa great, or baring the
same effect, aa upon coast presenting an un
protected and nearly even auiline to the actioa
of strom and hrakers, aa is ihe esse on iltsshorr
both above and below Cap Lookout and Cap
tlatteras.
JIm inrtueniw which I ihiuk Jriliei-
way tens) to preserve in iniet at Deautort, t
souna or Day,
The rarrewt through th inlet is wholly s
littal one, and Ihe, sack water of "Borgne
and "Covo eoeads," and from Newport"
and "North" rivers, accumulate no more oa
the flood tide than escape on the ebb; ther
are also of swell extent and so located aa lo
be materially effected by ihe tide, being filled
and emptied by the flood and ebb, and there
are no fresh-water feeders to cither of ihr
rivers sufficient to at all affect their ear
rents. 'There ia thus a strong and , continual tidal
current through the inlet, and ihie current is
mil hail or everpowered by a heavy swell
from sea, deadening it effect anil throw
ing oaca ine aana, wnicn it displace, in
shoals snd bars; bu it runs with the eddy
currents of th cove into, which' the Inlet o
pens, snd th same action and effect ia con
tinued that the current oiA of Ihe inlet pro
duces, all tending lo preserve and deepen the
channel. . '
In comparing the inlet at Ikeaafort will
Ocracm ke and othes opening from the large
sounds, the advantages and disadvantages if
either are obvious. These latter are almost
as much exposed on the inside in ihe great
mass of waters in the sounds as they are on
the outside lo Ihe ocean. 'The effect of stortus
and tiilea is consequently great as well aa un
certain. Heavy alorins from the Wesiwanl
prevent llie tide from flowing through Ihe in
lets from the. ocean, while Ihe water and surf
from ths sounds heave up (washes and shoals
on the inside, .
The action of storms from sea is still worse,
while the watere of the sounds sre driven
back and ahoala are thrown up and formed
across the mouth of the inlet, without any
counter influence to prevent or carry them
away.
In a coutmerci.il point of view, Beaufort,
as a hnrbnr port, has many advantages and is
well situated. 'Ther is no river or inland
navigation in delay or require llie lowing of
large vessels. A ship drawing 30 feel wau-r
can leave si any stale of the tide with al
most any wind, and discharge her pilot al
sea in from 30 lo 45 minutes after weighing
anchor..
It seems, therefore, that the usefulness of
one of ihe heal harbors and . ports on our
whole southern ensat is lost from the want of
propi r lardities nf communication snd inter
nal improvements, giving access lu il from the
interior country sml cities.

Ma. Eniroa:- The eiliaens nf this eouo.
tv, in attidance al the term of the Superior
Court, were favored with a discission on
Tuesday last, between Messrs Clingman and
Gaiiher. in the opening of the canvass in the
lhstrtci, for a aeal in lite next Conrresa ol
the United Slates.
M r. Clingman opened the discussion hv
complaining that Col. Gaithrr had become a
candidate before his return to ths district, that.
while the Star, the Raleitfh Register, the
Messenger, snd other Whig patters bad burn
applauding Col. Gaither, the Asheville pee
ls tor had been warring upon him: e iiiplaincd
dial Mr. Hyman had been brought out to op.
pose him. He attempted a justification of his
political course, going on pretty much ihe
same grounds that he occupied two years ago;
as well as a reiteration ol the principal por
tions of his late address sent forth t.i the vo
ters of the district, aud Concluded by declaring
thai if any person charged him with betraying
the W hig ptrty or y other parly, he pro
nnunred the charge fale.
When he eonetuiled. Col. GatUier t Kk llie
land aud announced thai he had been a can-
lidate for Solicitor of this circuit, and was'
beaten by a strict party vote; that he believed
that election did nol meet the approbation ol
i majority of lha voters in the wstriet, and
that he had now beeo.it candidal for Con-
gresa, as an appeal to the people from lha vote
of a majority or the Legislature, that although
his name had been announced sums weeks
as a candidate, that be had made no spmtche
in the absence nf Mr. Clingman, that he had
attended Ihe courts west of this place snd had
forbore lo sprak, purely because of Mr. Cling- J
man's absence, aa he did not deaira to lake j
any advantage ol him; but thai now Mr.
Clingman was present, and he notified him
that from this until August he should employ
the lime in discussing tha issues thai divided
them, in which be expected to show that Mr.
Clingman was a full blooded locofoco, and for
Ihe. last few yean had not co-operated with
the rVhig party. Cut. Gaither said it was
true the Whig papers in the State had Compli
mented him, for the reason he was known to
them to be a Wl.ig. good and true, and re
garded it as a fact that the Honorable gentle
man received no such compliment ; thai his
Mr. Clingman a) praies came from Ihe Loc.i
oco Journals, and Ihe South Carolina Seces
sion prints. Col. Uaither Ihen read from
Mr. Clingman s published sddress his allusion
to a faithful sentinel on the waieh tower, who
wen he flrst saw danger, gave the alarm, tie.
Us ihen read from the same sddress the state
ment thai if the voter of this district had
known what he knew, Oen. Seotl would not
have received five hundred votes in this dis
trict, he Ihen called upon Mr. Clingman to
know why it was that he, occupy m the po.
aition of sentinel, bad not given th alarm; bui
instead of announcing the approaching danger,
that il waa not known nniil lha eighth of On.
tober whal course Mr. Clingman inuinded to
take in Ihe Presidential election, and not then
anlil tha decision by th Legislature of the
claim of Dr. Shaw showed a majority of two
democrats, on joint ballot in the Legislature.
So soon aa thai -was known, Mr, Clingman
wrote a letter to Dr. Mills, in which he look
ground sgainsl General Scott. Col. Oaiiher
read an extract from a preen of Hon. A.
Doekery, to show that Mr. Duekery, through
a colleague of Mr. Clingman, serving lit Ihe
hh Congress with him did not know until
that publication made it appearance, what
our lis blended taking in lha Prosidealial

Mi. Clingman row to rejoin: he said thai
e told Gen. Hockey and others he should
not support Gen. Scott for President; before
ihe adjournment of Cimgreas. Mr. Cling
man said he, loo, had hern beaten by Ihe
Legislature To which dd. Gaither replied
that the difference between ll.ein waa, that
Mr. Clingman had bean beaten by Whigs,
while he (Gailher) had been beaten by demo
crats. 'The limited space allotted bv hie Honor
having expired, the discussion waa closed by
Col. Gailher, in a few appropriate appeals to
the Whigs of this connty to rally around him
as their candidate said he had run under
disadvantage two year ago that did nol now
exist, and that he anticipated a different result,
lhat he waa now well trained and in good
keeping, ami that the result of lilt race would
show that lie was s rarer of good blood, cVc.
Suffer me to add, in conclusion, lhat Col.
Gaither'a friends are in high spirits as to the
retili in this county where democracy, or
anything having a leaning lhat way baa never
been in favor. As you will hav an oppor

gressional contest between Messrs. Clingman
anil I. sillier, at llendersonvdle, on Tuesday
ol last week. As the opening speeches ol
the canvass may be regarded aa pretly good
indications of the plot and "general course
of the action" of the coin ine campaign, we
give a ahi.rt sketch of Uiem in some of their
prominent points, aa they have been describ
ed to us,
Mr. Clingman spoke first. He waa still
quite feeble and sickly looking from his late
illness, and his friend were fearful lhat he
would not have strength enough to gel well
through with the discussion, ye he spoke
through the lime allotted lo him, and spoke
well. A table had been placed by him to ail
upon when he chose, but during a great part
of Ihe lime he stood without support.
- Ills speech was generally directed to repel
ling the various charges and attacks which
have been made on him from ' various quar
ters since the late presidential nominations,
aud eeiiecially to the defence of himself and
the niber Southern whig who refused to up-
port (sen. Broil; giving his reasons why, in
hiaopinion, aa Southern whigs they could
nol support that nomination, which ressons
seemed to afford general aaliafaction In the
llie audience. Mr. C. considered the defeat
of Gen. Suntl would do more to repreaa ab
olitionism ihsn any event nf Ihe lime.
'There could be no doubt thai whether
rightfully or not, lha auapicion of freeaoititm
aud the association with Gen. Scott's name
and nomination of soma of the most danrer-
ous abolitionist of the day. had been ihe
main cause nf hit overwhelming defeat; snd
with such a warning before them no great
politicians or parties would hereafter be bold
enough to court abolition support. Th men
w hose support had defeated Gen. ScntL would
hereafter be shunned lik the pestilence.
The result of tin, Mr. C. ihoughl, baa been
to place ih country in a safer and more
hopeful situation than it has been fur many
years. As Ihe most marked sign ol the
change, no observant man Could help noting
how silent and crestfallen the sboli iuu parly
had become, how lha faction lately so vaunt
ing in ii siidntion, seemed, since th election
to hav become aa ailenl and aa scare, (to
use Mr. C.'s expression.) -ss frogs after a
froaly morning."
Col. (jaither lollow I, commencing wilh
an animated hurst of indignation al his defeat
for Solicitor in ihe late session of ths Legis
lature, and gave at part of his explanation
why ha had eoma out in th canvass so soon,
thai immediately jjii hearing of hia defsat. ha
expressed htrtie termination to appeal to the
people to support hnu ! 'This is evidently to
oiisnnne su important one of the tactical rev-
louiionsof the campaign. .
' r or Ihe burden ol his speech aa described

itorials uf iIm Spectator during lha laat two
months, tl was pretty much the same chanr-

sometimes with rehashes of the issues dis
cussed during ihe last canvass between the

TURNER WILSON, Ch'm.
B. II. Cox, Sec'y,
In presenting th resolutions, Mr. Cherry
remarked aa follows! .
II staled ihe object for which Ibis meeting
of Ihe Whig of the county had been called.
to consider ol ih propriety of holding a Dis
trict Convention, to nominal a sellable cao
dulate lo he run for a ami in th next Co,
gresa. 'The last Legislature of the State, in
laying off the Congressional 'districts, had
changed the uld district, formerly the 0th, into
what is now Ihe 1st. by an addition of three
counties, Halifax, Washington and Tyrrell.
Il was thought advisable by our Whig friends,
that justice to ihe new counties required, that
ihey should lis heard, and havs their wsight,
in the selection of the Candidate for Congress.
Mr, C. said he full and heartily concurred
in the propriety of holding a district Conven
tion, a well to settle the mailer as to who
should ba out candidal for Congress as to
re-nrganite our glorious old parly, and again
toplauiourselvrsttrrnry andiiumtsiskeably up
ihe principles of ihe great Whig party. The
question, ihen, which he desired to k his
fellow Whigs, whom ha saw around him,
sotne of w hum, he. might truly say belonged
to the "old ganrd," and had stood hy ihe
Whig parly in more 'troublous limes lhan
ihe present, ia this, are you ready lo giv tip
those great principles for which wa have so
unit battled, and wl. I h hve been so beautifully
and truthfully explained in the adminuMra
tion of the Government, under th guidance
of that wias and excellent man, Prasidanl
Killmnre, merely becsusa in the late aonleat
forth Presidency, wa have auflored I tem
porary dcfeatl (Mr C. aaid) h repealed it
waa but a srmixirary eclipse which hae pass
ed over our parly, obscuring firr a moment Ih
brilliancy or Its progress. Disbai.d and give
up the great Whig party I Is that the senti
ment of ihe gallsnt and irue hearted Whiga,
one al least, whom I row ace, (though he is
not eititen at this lima nf our county, yel he
is al luarta Hertie Whig) run well remember,
whan our entire phalanx did nol number more
lhan a baker's dozen! All tilings con i. laird.
said Mr. ('.) rs hav don about aa well as
emilJ hav been,expectml. Divided, ditrel
od and disagreeing about men, diaaeter and
defeat hav for ihe moment overtaken ua.

which w havs to deal, 'To Ilia future wc
