Thero seems to bo a general interest manifcsled among our farmers, (aud a very laudable one,) jr. the matter of fruit grow ing.

Auoth' r thing that has often surprised us in pa-sing through the country, has been the general aversion lo seedling fruit, and the disposition manifested lo cultivate noth ing but the choicest kinds, selected from thu most popular nurseries in the States. Now and then borne "old fofy" iu the maich of progression has been found who would cu- Icrtiiin you fr hours over a dish of Ins "wonderful seedlings," iu nn elaborate tugu uici.t', to prove that his seedlings "were ju-t as good as any body's grafts,'" and amount ing, in tho summing up, to the fact "that they tasted just as good to him." Tho bringing of his fedlings in'o competition with llio cultivated fruit in market, howev er, nnd finding a difficulty in disposing of ihem at foiiror five dullais per bushel, whilst llio popular varieties of grafted fruit went oir readily nt from ten to twenty dollars per bu-hel, has gneral proved nn argument sufficiently convincing, to strip him of every vestigo of horticultural fonyism, which soon manifested itself in a ihorouf'i stripping of hislreesof worthless seedlini ranches, nnd a substituting in their stead the nioro popu lar and profitable varieties. The facilities for obtaining almost every variety of cultivated fruit, of nn undispu ted geiiuinencsj, are now such that no liver of it is without excuso who fails to supply himself immediately. There are already many nurseries in tho country, embracing in their catalogue of varieties almost every thing n person can call for. Our old friend, Mr. Sajwkl Simmons, who resides upon the beautiful MontieelloJ farm on Howell i nline, Marion County, has just laid upon our table a number of specimens of tho genuine Early Harvest aud Red Astracan apples, deservedly popu lar in the Northern nnd Western States, ns among tho best varieties of early fruit. Mr. Simmons has an orchard of sonio !)(iO benriug trees, embracing tho choic est varieties of summer, fall, nnd winter np pies, besides a great variety of pears, plums, cherries, peaches, eVc. He has also a thri ving nursery containing some twenty thous nnd ihrifly young trees, embracing over fifty varieties of fruit. His fruit was originally taken Troiii the selection made by Mr. John W. Laud, who now resides upon the "Moii troso Farm," some twelve miles up ihe Wil lamette, on tho west bank of tho river, where he has opened a beautiful piece of ground, and is engaged exclusively iu the nursery business.

If our subscribers feel themselves aggrieved in such matters, ihey have a perfect right to complain, and we feel it our duty to speak of such defaults plainly and fearlessly, coino from whatsoiirce Ihey may.

When a man fails iu the discharge of nn ofiical duty, through an Mtiitkntional remte ness, or from a total inability topcrfoim it, he is certainly to be looked upon with a great deal of charity, although we feel as though tho injury we receive by the default of such 1111 ofiical ought in Boiue way to be remedied, Bachelors.
