To un dorttand full; tlie sciciioe and prnclico of fruit culluro amongst un, ii of great ini- ,, porUnoe at the present time. Nearly 0110 hundred variolic of (lie apple tree have been brought to Oregon, and multitudes of young tree disseminated from tbein in to different pans of Oregon and Cidifor. nit. Many of them are spurious or un der the wrong nomea many of I he in do . not luit our soil and climate. The sci ence of fruit culture Lure, is in its infancy it rnual be mostly learned anew. Ex- ' perlence has already taught us that we can tot rely on the information exclusively, in the fruit books published iu the United States, for general use hero. Quite a number of the popular varieties in the Uuitcd States brought here are perfectly worthless cultus as llio July bow, La dy's Sweating, Northern Spy, Cirolina June, and some others. The Y. N. Pip pin, Winesap, Wtito Winter Pearmain, Esopus Spilzenburgh, Hubbardson Non. such, Michael Henry Pippin, Blue Tear, main, Waxen, Summer Quern, Rambo, Rhode Inland Greening, Sweet June, Yel low Bellflower, Rod June, Gulden Russet, lioxbury Russet, Smith's Cider, Fall 1'ip pin, and Fall Beauy, are perfectly at home in Oregon. A large number of faUe Eso pus Spitzcnburgh and Green N. Pippin, have been disseminated by quackt in the nursery business here. The true Esnpus Spitzcnburgh (Lewcllen's selection) turns out to be the standard apple of Oiegon; as is well known, from specimens grown iu the orchards of Messrs. Shannon, of Howell - Prairie, Marion county. A vast number of fruit trees arc planted out in Oregon; and when these shall all brcome bearing trees, theironcrs will fin I o lUhut m.iny very many will have io bo cut down or bend ed back ; owing to fulae varieties, anil those w hich do not suit our soil and cli. male. .What an immense loss will this prove to our country! And of what im portance it is, that pei sons, row selling orchards, should know what they buy from tho nurseries. I am happy however, to know that many of our large nurserymen graft from I heir own bearing trees, an J can show specimens of the apples of each va- ' liety sold. Such apples ns were shown in Salem last April, by Messrs Mec-ki Lew ellcn iu such a perfect state of preserva tion and so fine and large and so well flavored would surely recommend young (recs of the same varieties. That Califor nia will finally supply herself wilh early fruits there can be no doubt. Out that Oregon will furnish tho late keeping ap ples, for our own use, and for Cal Torn ia, the Polynesian Islands, and many pints of Asia, there can be but little doubt. How important, then, that we plant liber ally the late keepers 1 It is true, that, for cider, for the dessert, and table, and for drying, much fruit will be used in the sum mer and fall at home. But this propor tion ought to bear, but ns a fraction, to tho late keepers. If an individual were now .to plant out 1000 npplo trees and were to select 500 Y. N. . Pippins, 300 Wine saps, 100 White W. Pearmain, and 100 of Fall Pippin, Summer Qiteen, Red June, and one or two other sorts his selection .need not be repented of. " The enterprising citizens of the States Tinve their Pomological societies, and they have also "Tho American , Pomological Society," which hold their annual meet ings, and from which ' is disseminated a Jargeamountof sound practical and theo retical information, connected with the -subject of fruit growing. That Oregon is as good, or better, for tame fruits than any portion of North America, but few need doubt. ' And that fruits raised, here, Are, and will become, one of our greatest sta ples of production for other markets, needs no argument from me. All the remarks which I hare now made, are only to in troduce the " main yuesiW' that is, the urbanization of a Pomological society in Oregon. Cannot the thing be effect- . '' measure a good one! d!

Salem, Jan. 29, 1857. ': .Friend Adams These long rainy weeks mke us often think of the poor cattle. There are but few men in Oregon who liave large herds of cattle but will lose more or less of them during the present winter and spring for want of good feed. Perhaps we may safely ssy that not less ithxa a thousand head of cattle and horses will die this winter. This thousand head at 30 each would be worth 830,000, snd the nhole of it is a dead4s to our farming interests. Now, Mr. Editor, I propose to Ilk A Weekly Xeu'Hjnper, devoted to tho Principles of Jellersoniau Democracy, and advocating Vol. II. tho "thousand and ouu" readers of The Argus that thoy savo their share of this 930,000, and mo it in paying the Editor who prims this article, and in educating their children. If the writer of this could know that even a small share of ii would bo saved for theso purposes, he would be amply paid for proposing tha following plan to do it ; The planting of root crops has long been considered a most valuable part uf hus bandry. In England almost every farmer sets apart a portion of his land for this purpose, and the importance of litis kind of crops is fait growing in tho estimation of the farmers of this country; but I do nut believe tho people of Oregon aro aware of. the immense productive resources of our W ilhiiuutte valley in ihis respect. Last spring I set apart a portion of land three rods square for planting carrots. I manured and ploughed it well, and in the fall and winter fed out the carrots to my cattle as I needed. In gathering tla-m I had the curiosity to pull ono square rod, sijj measure them strictly, heaping the bushel basket so as to give good measure This sixteen and a half feet souaro, upon which was a small stump and a yearling apple tree, gave me eight and a half bush els, which is equal to thirteen hundred and sixty bushels per aero. Now, Mr. Editor, my experience in feed ing is that, for horse, cows, cattle, and hogs, (for every creaturo I have eats them greedily,) they are worth more than half as much as oats. This is equal .then to CS0 bushels of oats per acre, a pretty largo yield, however rich the laud or well ma nured. I(J now, nor farmers would plant a few square, rods of carrots to each ono of their cattle, they would be able to carry them through our winters without loss. It is becoming a question of great importance to tho farmers of Oregon how they shall save tlicir cuttlo. . Our winters seem to be growing colder,-and snow lies longer, on the ground than formerly, and, in addition to thai, tho cattle are lc?s and less alio to get their own living, as tho country grows older and feed gets shorter. It would seem that farmers have been sufficiently wnrnrd this year to bestir themselves nud inako some provision for their cattle. A few days longer of snow this winter would have destroyed whole herds of cattle. That few days may come next winter. Wo are having our warnings. The wifo will foresee the evil, and prepare for it. 1 hold, Mr. Editor, that it is a siu to keep cattle unless wo will mako some provision for them in wiuter. 'Hie merciful man is merciful to his bea.stj and if men will not lako warning from tho past, if they will on, leaving their cattle to live or die, just as they can catch it, they ought to suf fer for it severely. After, even when cat tlo do live; they sufTcr equal to a dozen deaths from hunger; tlley just squoeze through with tho breath of 1Kb hardly left in them, and in 'the spring you hear this one and that one saying thai they have lost a noble ox, or a fino milk cow, or an excel. lent steer, wilh Hie hornoil, aud they seem to speak of it ns if they expected some commiseration for tho hard "providence" that scorns to follow them. I tell you, Mr. Editor, I do not believo they arc hard providences ; I believe that they aro only gentle hints; that if they do not take warning and prepare for their cattle, by and by they will lose all they have. That this may prove valuable and a hint in sea son, is my desire, while I subscribe myself a friend of the poor cattle, 1 Next week I will try to give your read ers the ininutiiu of carrot raising, after two years' experience. ' I think I can give some hints in tbeso matters that will be valunblo, at least, to some of them. And I propose to follow that with an article- on fruit cut ture, on the proper treatment of a young apple orchard, so as best and soonest to realize the desired returns of golden fruit. And if these should prove acceptable to you, I shall hope lo follow them with some, thing else as interest shall excite. Yours, truly, . O. Dickinson. . '1 ; For the Argut.

' S. M. Gilmork, Seo. pro tcm. Tub Slave Iksubiiectioxs. Tho Rich mond Enquirer has a Washington corre spondent who writes: " From certain indications, not entirely demonstrable, but yet sufficiently suspi cious, we have long since been led to be lieve that tho District of Columbia has a large share in the incendiary negro move ment. Not long since, some gangs of ne groes were arrested here, by the police, for being found out together after ten o'clock at night. To our surpriso wo found that there wero several negro Masonic lodges, so called, in this city, holding their secret conclaves, at the dead of nighl) iu various parts of the city. "These negro lodges in the District of Columbia are undoubtedly nothing more or -less than so many secret dens of negro ngenls for promoting the cause of the ab olitionists. On tho dividing lino between tho frco and the slave States, they are ready to, and undoubtedly do, aid in many of tho underground railway movements that occur. " It has been a prevailing sentiment among the negroes of the District that the election of Fremont was to bo tho first step toward their liberation; and an san guine w'cre thoy of success, just before the election, that they could not restrain their sentiments and their bitter hostility to the whites. Knots of these free scoundrels could be seen at tho corners of the streets, chuckling ovor the probablo triumph of Fremont; and nn occasional 'Ha! ha! dc vvlii to folks 'ill stand about don,' sufficient ly showed what was going on among litem." One of the ediiors of tho N. Y. Cour- rier des F.tats Unis was traveling in Ten nessee in the center of the black conspira cy, at tho time of its detection, and spoaks as follows as to tho causes that gave rise to tlie insurrectipn : "Its origin is traced to the presidential campaign. Alucn weakened by distance, the echo of the noise made in the North about the name of Fremont has extended to the banks of the Cumberland. It came in the track of the steamers which trav ersed tho second tributary of the Ohio, and then found itself in the center of Ten ncssee. To penetrate the most distant villages, it had only to pass along the gorges which separate these little isolated mountains. Whether emissaries (as they affirm here) came or not from the North, it is nevertheless true that there have been certain indications of an approaching re volt. According to somo, it was to be general, and would extend to all the slave States. According to others, it would simply be confined to Kentucky and Ten nessee. This latter version appears to me true, and it is already more than necessary to exercise an active surveillance. " Nevertheless, nothing of a positive nature had been discovered till about ten sinCe' (22d NoV-) bcn "'C0 caned from the Cumberland Iron Works. 1 lie was promptly captured, and it was . - m . ... , . .

The ne I ff'oes of each habitation intended, between , rf . , . ,n(i Mt omplied, to inarch to the chief place ol the county, wnere me discus : would generally assemble, and commence to act. FEBRUARY 7, 1857. " The credulity of these poor people is such that, in thn belief of the whites who excho them, they Imagine that Col. Fro. mout with a large army is wailing at ibe mouth of the Cumberland until tho night of tho 23d or 21th of December has or rivod. Then all this army will help to deliver the slaves. They have been struck by tho sudden swelling of the river, and attribute this circumstance to the great as semblago of men and ships at its mouth. Certain slaves nre so greatly Imbued with this fablo that I have seen them smile whilo they aro being whipped, and have hoard thein say that 'Fremont and his men can bear the blow they receive.' "Ths mines nlong the shore of the Cum berland, forad'Hance of about thirty miles, have suspended work. Machine shops, occupying from 100 to 200 negroes, have now only five or six whites lo djrect opera tions. In theso localities also the pnnio Is great. Three w hite fiecsoihji have been arrested in Dover in tho act of exciting a revolt. They wcro beaten, and were al lowed fifteen hours to leave the county and thirty to go' out of the States. ' A black preacher was arrested while delivering an abolition sermon. He forms one of the nine who wore yesterday in Dovor. Of these nine, five are yet to be tried, Of tho body of 200 blacks that marched to Dover about 00 havo been arrested. They are those which I saw whipped yesterday at iho Cumberland Iron Works. Thirty oth ers returned to their workshops and farms, and tho rest ran to the woods ; but no at tempt at pillage or murder has yet been made. "As I told you yesterday, the plan was to butcher the whites upon isolated farms and in the woikshops, aud then to march to each chief town of the county. They would thus have established a free road along the Cumberland from Nashville to the Ohio. Cy this route all who took part in the revolt could have fought a re treat to Indiana and Illinois. No one could havo disturbed them, for they would have traversed tha least populated part of the country. Thus, though the pint has been exposed, and we have not to dread any actual explosion, there still remains an uneasiness about the future, and we reflect wilh torror upon the facility of executing this plan if it had not been discovered." AltEZONIA AND HER DELEGATE. It will bs observed in the report of the Con gressional proceedings of yesterday, that tho inhabitants of Arczonia havo presented their petition for the privilege of a terri torial government. Their claim to such a privilego rosts on tho allegation, in their memorial, that thoy are cut off by natural barriers from New Mexico, and tho bene fits of her laws, deprived of the safeguards of citizenship and exposed lo savages. They have sunt F. A. Cooke to represent them as delegate in Congress. Arezonia embraces the territory in the northern part of Mexico, acquired by the Gadsden treaty, in addition to the Musilla valley, which we had claimed under the former treaty, and comprises twenty-nine thousand square miles. It would thus form a Siato more than half as largo as New York Although a portion of the district which Col. Benton described .as so poor that a wolf could not gut a living there, marvel ous stories are just at this time circulated as to its abundant resources. Newspapers interested in the project of a Southern Pa cific Railroad, publish glowing accounts of arable, well watored soil, rich mines of gold, silver and copper. Wagons have traversed the territory from the Rio Grande lo the head of the Gulf of California. Tho territory is chiefly valued, however, as presenting a route for a railroad to the Pacific. The distance from the Rio Grande to San Diego, or San Pedro, iy routes which have been indica ted, is about 1,600 miles. This is the route to which Jefferson Davis gives tho preference, among those which the govern mcut have caused to be examined and sur. veyed. . Whether the House will consent to ere ate a separate territorial government for Arczonia, or extend that of New Mexico over it, is not determined. JV. Y. Post. The Wealth op the Nation. Mr De Bow, in his Compendium of the Cen sus, gives the value of the agricultural productions of the Lnited States, in 1950 as 1,820,691,828, and states that in 1854 it had increased to 11,000,000,000. The total tonnage of the United States in 1855 was 5,212,000, of which 2,533,130 tons consisted of sea going vessels. The in ternal commerce of tho country, in 1852, is thus stated by Andrews: Coasting trade, 3,319,439,372 ; canal commerce, 1,188,. 000,000; railway commerce, 1,081,500,' 000. The products of manufacturers and mechanics, for 1850, it is estimated by competent authorities, will approach tbe value of 11,500,000,000; and the pro. ducts of the seas, including fchwit,!TU lawyers are puzzled. tlio n'uh of Truth in every issue. No. -13 freights, transportation, etc, (1,500,01)0, 000. In addition to tho imiiienso capit.i invested in commerce and manufacture in i ha United States, thcro aro cither im proved, or under actual cultivation, not less than 113,032,711 ncrn of laud. Within tho last twenty. five years nearly S0(),000,000 have been expended in other forms of internal improvements ordinary road, canals, improving the channels of rivers, harbors, etc. Tho in dustrial and commercial activity of which theso figures aro iho measure, has had no parallel in history. With such resources as the basts of future operations, wlmt may not ihe nation accomplish1 in the next quart.-rof a century 1 The nggn gsto of its wealth at tho end of that period will bo so vast as lo defy tho mind to grasp it by monetary valuation. Tas Cat or VUU0cU. The n.lmiiou of Whitfield, by iho House cf RrpKsentntives as the Delegate from Kansas is a bad omen of what mav lie expected from Buchanan ned his party. It gives thosancliou of tho Houso of Rep rcsonlutivcs lo the Usurpation of legMa live authority in tho territory by ih Mia sourians and to the code of laws they en. acted establishing slavery and disfianchis- lag two-thirds at least of the actualscdlors. Whitfield is simply the representative of tho Missoui ians, aud not of iho penphi of the territory. If the Buchanan parly did not mean to confirm the Missouri usutpation ond the Stringfellow code, they would have rejected him. The dav of election was appointed, and all tho arrange. mcnts for it were made by that codo which definod the qualifications of electors and denied the right of suffrage to those ho refused to swear allegiance to slavery. Tho free Slate settlers, who firmed the body of Ihe population, would neither present themselves at the polls to bo ra. pulsed, nor would they, by ni.y panicipa lion of theirs in tho election admit that Iho Stringfellow code had any lawful au thority or deserved respect. Mr. Bu-hnn-an's party in the Houso of Representa tives, yesterday, by admitting Whitfield, declared ihe Stringfellow Legislature to U legally constituted, tho Stringfellow con's tobslhe law uf iho t.rritory, an I ihe Stringfellow test, by whuh tho settlers were deprived of the right of voting, to le valid and binding. In sliort, tliinHa aro going on under the new political auspices, which begin to take effect with tho election of Buchanan, jst ns they did before. Tho i.srtv is not re formed in iho least on tho contrary, it lias grown bolder in outage. The House af Representatives last winter excluded Whitfield, Ihis winter it admits him: lust winter it declined to recngnijto the .Missou ri usurpation and tho .Stringfellow cod.;; this winter it gives its doliborato sanction to both. If wo expect anything beilur fiom Mr. Buchanan than we have hud from Mr. Piorce, now is ihe time. Pierce has noth ing more to promiso J tho day of his in. (luenee hns passed away ; the real fountain of Executive Influence is now Mr.Buthan an, and wo must judge of tho founlaiu by tlio waters it sends forth. VVe believe, for our part, Unit Kansas will he a free State, but not because Mr Buchanan desires this, or will do anything to promote it. On the contrary, it will be a free Slato in spile of him and his friends Tho petty obstacle they are placing in the way of this result, by admitting Whit- field to a seat in tho IIo'jso of liepretii tatives, will bo but an attempt to parry a sabro thrust with a straw. . Kansas will be a free Stale, because the people of iho North w ill it to be so because they havo it in their power to make it so snd be cause neither tho Senate, nor the House of Representatives, nor t lie Executive, nor aidjor uuioru, nor Uolonel Xitus, nor Atchison, wilh all the border-rufiiuns at f. . . , . ... . their back, can make head successfully against tho roused spirit of tlie North and the numbers they are sending out lo lake possession of the region which ihe farm ers and champions of the Nebraska bill hoped to colonize with slaveholders.
