A valuable corps of 200,000 men, armed, eqtfippot!, and disciplined, can be ready for the field in thirty days afer war is de clared, and so it may be said of ships of wa , We will state one fact illustrative of ttus position. During the war with Eng. land, and while stationed on the fforbary joast, we were surprised one, day, while PttOrojju iuanDage, t see a sharp clipper-built schooner under full sail, with the American flag floating to a brisfc breeze, doubling Cape Bon, and making direct for the Buy. We rode down to the fortress of Golatta, ordered u Juunch to be made ready, and found ourselves alongside the schooner just ns she had cast anchor. "Where are you from, sir?" "From Boston," replied tho enptain, a smart tlnshing-looking young fellow. "In what pnssage ?" "Twenty-three days, sir." We began to have our misgivings. Twenty-three days from Boston Wo sus pected she had been fitted out a Marseilles to cruise in tho Mediterranean. It was the Abelono, Captain Wyer, of six guns and seventy-five men a magnificent lilllo craft. We went down into the trunk cabin. "Now, sir," said the captain, "I'll con vincc you that we arc from Boston, and will show you Boston notions of every kind, from pumpkins and smoked herrings down to. wooden nutmegs.'' He soon fill ed the table with nil the good cheer and solid comforts with which the Bostonians know so well how to furnish a ship. "And hero," said he, "is tho Boston Centinal, Major Russell's paper." All doub'.s were now at an end ; and while we were partaking of fare to which we had long been accustomed homely fare, but more welcome on that account tho captain said: "Ifyou are surprised at our short pas sage so far up the Mediterranean, what will you say when I tell you it is just sixty days since the keel of this vessel was laid in Boston .yet here we are!" We could scarcely credit it. May, mat's not all, sir, continued ap tain Wyer. "On my way here, off Cag han,l captured two large British ships fil led wi'.h valuable carcroes. and ordered them for this port. They will be here to morrow morning." "What ! in a neutral port, in which the British exercise unlimited influence? - :ii -. . it.. i i ney win never permit us to sen tne car- I goes." I "Well, sir, we can only try." Sure enough, next morning early, the ancient city of Tunis, honored once by the j presence of Scipio Africanus, Hannibal, and other distinguished personages known to history, was thrown into the greatest commotion on seeing two large and deeply l,ul 3ti ships entering the port, the stars and j stripes floating over the union Jack. It . startled the British consul and nil the farpt iliplomaliquf, and we soon saw tha whole 1 bevy on horseback making for the palace. ' I smell sulphur," said the captain. , -There's a storm brewing, and we shall ! have it soon." j In an hour a message arrived by a ; maineluke that we were wanted at the ! palace. After making our toilette, Sidi i Auibrosio, our chancellor, and Muslapha, the dragoman, were soon mounted, and off , we paced at a moderate rate for Bardo. i The consular corps were all present when I we entered the talla. The liey, reclining as usual on bis largo crimson cushions, was busily engaged combing his long black i beard wi:h a tortoise-shell comb, studded with brilliants, and looking unusually b ' ' "What does all this mean, consul two British prizes entering our port, and for what purpose?" "To sell them, your highness !'' " What ! against our treaty with En I All land r i "venajniy not, n iiiwusihub jjiuui bition in the treaty " Tha) British consul, a most excellent man, unrolled the parchment, to which a ' seal of wax wns appended nearly ns large j ns one of our western cheeses, and com menced rending as follows 'It is further stipulated and agreed up on, that no European power at war with England shall be pcrmiticd to fit out priva teers or other armed vesscjs to cruise against the commerce of Great Britain from, or bring prizes into, the Tunisian ports." 'Well, sir," said the Bey, "what hare you to say to that 1 Is it not full and Con clusive?" "Entirely so; but it docs not apply to us. We are not an European power." "That, sir," said the British consul, fcis a mere evasion of the spirit of this section of our treaty. It was intended to apply, and does opply, to all Christian powers." "Very probably, sir ; but we are cot a Christian power I" The whole court kick ed amazed. The Bey raised himself up from hia cushions, took a hearty pinch ol' snuff from a ' splendid iL'smon 1 ; bos, .uni , gave us an anxious and tnrpirirrf luck. - i' How will you make that t, rcar,sir?" said the British consul ' "Very easily, sir." ? We then 'real the lonowing sectionironr our treaty w. v poll - ,: ; V'v-V'''C '.'-'', " V As the United States is in no i.,anaer . a Christian MVsmmcnL and tmrtains no hostility towards ny denomination, itla) hereby understood that no disturbance sbalt . " ' r , .v jrious ouestiori." -'st ttft-;''j ', It was useless to argue th point fufther. We did not Iri anr shape come' wifbin the purview or, mar. treaty, so permission was! jgiverr to land the goods and the ships ind enrgoe', consisting of every variety of mer chandise, were sold in a single day. Tha consul sent for a British blockadiurr sriaad-' - ton horn Malta j but the privateer slipped, out 0f the" bay, ran op tb Archipelago, deitroyed nearly two milHons of British property, was chased roimd the Meditterra nean by two ship of the' lint fld Iwft ninnies, cecapea rnrougn ine vx m w braltar. and arrived home safelr. 3rf J", k RVZ1 F6fer 'wotiU, W thft pfivairfcarine, be utterly destroyed in a war whh the United States; and all th navy of Great Britain could not blockade, sty al to prevent privateers from escaping.

A few roots of this pUnl should have a place in every garden. Not only are its medical qualities1 highly valu able, but its presence among vegetables 'w supposed to be an JEen of protection a- gainst many diseases to which they airo subject It should be traesplanted into warm and rich soil, early in the spring, and be assisted, during its early development, oy coptons manunngana trequem pressure. When plants, late in the season, exhibit symptoms of decay or general feb'ditr the planting of a small root of Chamomile in their vicinity is frequently the most speedy and efficacious remedy that can be applied. The odor, oroma, diffused by this plant, m also known to be highly repellant to ftrsrfty kinds of aligerous tnsecis, and its presence among those species of plants and vegeta bles infested by such enemies, will protect them more effectually . than, almost any other agent known, and at Comparatively" small expense.
