A correspondent of the Country Gentleman mentions a nursery firm in Ohio that is making a specialty of raising chestnut trees, and pre dicts that, in ten years, it will be a very large business. We have no doubt of it. Nor that planting of timber trees on a large scale will soon be going on in all the older settled por tions of the country. Trees that bear nuts, as well as make good timber, are likely to have the preference, and the Chestnut, black walnut, butternut, the pecan and the hickory will; at no distant day, be. larmly cultivated. Them are many tracts of land, b especially in our Eastern States, where the original forests have been cut off, that could be put to no so profita ble use as to raise new forests of nut-bearing trees upon them ; and we are not sure but the same may be said of much that is considered as fertile land, in the western sections of the country where timber is scarce. Black walnut has lately become fashionable in Europe, as it is here, and the export, of it is already quite large. The country will not stand the constant drain upon it for this fine wood very many years longer, unless means are taken to pro duce a new supply... The 'correspondent above alluded to says that.the chestnut is as easily germinated as corn, and is easily transplanted when a year old; atter Which" tithe both the chestnut and pecan bear removal hardly, though careful root pruning the year previous to removal helps the ;Matter. But no tree grows more surely from 6i ) o.' the nnt, la more sure to live When transplanted, groirs inster, bears earlier, or stands hard treat ment better thin the black walnut. Only one thing it will not bear, and that is to have stock tramping about and over its roots.

BULL FLAT. I once coveted the honor of representing a certain Interior county, in the Lower House of the California State Legislature. As to my fitness, for a legislator, memory re called the fact that-many men from our coun try bad, in past, time, proposed theniselves' as law-makers; had been elected; had sat 'all winter in the Assembly Chamber,said nothing, drawn their salary, and, in the spring -time, bad returned, safe and sound, home to their constituents. Besides, I had then the Califor nia freeman's capacity for, and - endurance of, whisky—a quality, at that time, most essential for gaining political position; or, speaking in the vernacular of the auriferous belt, " A man who couldn't drink with the boya.las no- Where." Still, at first, a smothered sense of unfitness came over-me, regarding the propriety of pre senting myself before the' , people as a Maker of laws. Me—a persdi without, property, with out fattily;and without any particular interest in the community! I hinted my design, to a few intimate friends. "Run? Why, yes; just the thing for you.": I was invested immedi ately with all the needful confidence. card soon appeared in our county paper- s -'-lt was mine. it read : ' • "Mr. Blank will, he a candidate for As sembly, subject to the decision of the ensuing County Convention." Our party was then dominant. The strife was not so much against our opponents' as among ourselves, to gain nominations. The primaries were all-important to be looked after, and probable delegates to the Conven tion must firstbe bided after. Sb candidates Mounted their horses,`put "(part bottles of whisky in the pockets of their linen dusters, and, in squads of two and three, scoured camp,4lllll, bar, flat, gulch s and canon, "buzzing" the aspiring miner, who, once a year, putting Mills white shirt, came to Con vention, invested with authority to make or unmake Sheriff, Senators and Assemblymen; perhaps makes a speech, air his behind-the time politics, enjoy a fleeting notoriety, and then, with aihottle of cocktails, in his pocket. next.daylto tramp-home—ten, fifteen, twenty miles away—pull off the unaccustomed linen, don the gray shirt, and betake himself to the professional pick, , pan, shovel, crow-bar and In one of the hottest depressions among those red hills lay Bull Flat: two grocery stores, six saloons, twentYndd miilftra' cabins, a black smith's shop, a - seedy school-houso, a -seedier church. The afternoon sun shimmers am 9. 1 .1/ - vers over the great, jagged, water-washed and .worn bowlders, denuded of earth, and' rising, like stony tempest of waves, from the long age-worked-out fiat. The bar-keepers are asleep on their counters, when Jim Joneg's eye falls on three horsemen riding down the steep trail on the hill-side., Candidates! He, moves at once on the most aristocratic saloon. Can didates---drinks: the two are inseparable. And the candidates enter camp; dismount at the Magnolia, enter, :form at the bar, and call every one within sight and hearing to drink. The wrecks of "'49" stroll in; all drink: Sam White, the standing delegate from that pre cinct, is connered, confabbed, and "buzzed ;" the other saloons patronized-Abr all the money must not be spent at one house. Each s.:4o,an keeper demands his share--each Fsalellin-keeper controls a few votes—and, at last, the round is completed. Jim Brown is made happily and affectionately drunk, and, as. the patriots ride away, proclaimS himself aloud "a White Man, and in favor of a White Man's Government." This is one section of our political Machinery. Another: Spring Gulch—steep hill-sides on either side, parched and yel low—spotted with patches of deep green cha parral. Along the rivulet, flowing through the ravine, four log-cabins ; in each a single miner—gray and worn 'from hard work and hard drinking. No store here ; no saloon ; and yet this is an election precinct. At eve come the linen-dustered candidates to quarter with the " boys." Here come in play the quart bottles of whisky : appetizing and wel come drinks before supper; pipes and tobacco after. Ten o'clock, and both "boys" and can didates are talking very fast ; at twelve, they, together, tumble recklessly into the blanket spread cots. Morning : the last half-bottle is drank up before breakfast. The 'candidates mount their horses, with varying degrees of headache. But Spring Gulch is safe; Sam Stimmins has promised us his vote in Convention, and we ride off for another hot day's work. The office of delegate to our County Con ventions was one of little honor and no profit; an expensive one ; like that of a village' Fourth of July Marshal, or General of a General Training. Yet it was eagerly sought for. These political gatherings proved a sort of holiday. In many respects they were superior to the National Anniversary of Independence. They afforded business and pleasure combined. We tired of ,unalloyed holidays, with naught to do save to enjoy, ourselves. Your true Ameri can would vote the Elysian Fields a dull place, until his practicability and polities turned it intO.a mass-meeting grove. The great day for holding our County Con vention came. Officials, from Sheriff down to - Roadmaster were to be nominated. The day preceding, from mountain, Lill, river; creek, flat, gulch and canon came pouring into the county town, delegates, candidates and a large body of the party rank and file, at tracted by prospective and probable free speeches, free fights and free whisky. Night came, and the saloons were crowded. Faro and monte banks opened. At long tables sat studious rows of men, silent and intent on kitty cards. The bars were thronged three deep with imbibers. There was button-holing corners, and behind doors, and in 'the middle of the street ; betting as to the successful men for this or that office, and candidates rushing. about through the crowds with hurried step's, for their time had almost come. Three party faithful men wanted the Shrievalty, two the County Clerkship. On these offices was con centrated the most intense interest. Such po sitions, in those days, were rich official Placers. 1 remember when the gross official receipts of the Sheriff's • office in our county, for, two years, amounted to eighty thousand dollars. The old party war-horses were all there: so were the young war-horses, just started on their country-saving mission. So were gray-headed office-seekers, who, year after year, with clock-work regu larity, came before the people, asking forplace. And the skillful party-managing men, who made " slates," were there—men who loved their country well, their party better, and office better than all. So, also, were certain would be blundering engineers in our delicate party Mechanism—men always lacking in tact; losing temper, making inipolitic speeches, public anti private, at the wrong time and place; Mien who, from the stump, delivered that did, familiar speech, which, with slight variations to suit the times, had served through cam paign after campaign—a speech with naught of atsinless or originality to win our love, yet respected for its antiquity; men whose sole. universe was politics, whose future heaven was a revel in an endless chain of Presidential, State, county and town elections; men who just dropped into the editor's office to talk 'a half-day's politics, and overwhehned him with immense scrawls of political editorial, com pounded and rehashed from the same old speech—that speech whose hydra heads cropped out of his conversation at the store, the parlor, the street, the field, the saloon ; men, the crowning glories of whose existence were to be seen with the 11nbernatorial or Senatorial candidates, when such canvassed our districts, to be seated by them on the platform and .to bore them with intermittent commonplace's; men useful to their party, inasmuch as they,for the sake of any manner of prominence, spent THE DAILY EVENING BUIIETIk---1 ) 111LADEIJ,I411A, .1441 DAY, , DECEMBER 24, 1869,77TR1PLE SHEET.'- c. • their money freely, distribUted tickets,hunted up and secured doubtful voters'in remote dis tricts, made tire-balls for political preceasions, hung fiage, served'eartridgeifor trinniphal sa lutes—and, O rhaps; after years °flinch service, the carrying: ,of an election being deemed quite - hopeless were allowed,. as a. reward' for their . services, to -pack the burden of a nomination, and some times were elected—to 'the grief and conster nation of the knowing‘ones. All that night long the saloon and hotel lights blazed. At nine, everybody was cheerfully in toxicated. At, eleven, several fights had be curred,- and the regular man had been killed. 'At one, the main interest had concentrated about a big poker-game-ta game of the explo sive order, likely at any time to' bitrat. dirk-lunges and pistol-shote. At three in the morning, the pale streaks began widening over the still summits to the eastward ; the gray daylight came; and revealed to each - other the haggard and 'flushed faces of whooping and reeling revelers in the street, and the more silent and pale features of the gamblers in the rear apartments of the saloons, where , the 4 4 game" • went on. Thus did we, a por tion of the great American 'people, prepare ourselves for the business ,of .selecting.,onr rulers. Ten o'clOck, A. M., and, the court-house • was ecroWded. ..First, came tlie temporary organization; tem yoray President; temporary President's en thusiastic opening speech; then perinatioiat, organization of the Conventierf;' , appointment of Coinmittee on Credentials of Delegates; and then short adjournment, giving everybody, ..an opporttunty for "a bracing , whisky-toddy. All these political intricacies—which every true .Arnerkan knows so well to do, and is always able to do, even if incompetent for everything else—were performed. Then the real work commenced. Nominations were made ; . :Carididates arose ; paid their five-dollar assessment; became - orators, ; boasted •cif adher ence to . "our glorious party ;" pledged them selves to every plank, every nail, every nail hole in the platform; sat down, led, flushed, excited, and anxious; and their" political for tunes were speedily improved or ruined en tirely by the balloting delegatesthe represen tatives of the people, important in their short lived authority. Said one of our old war-horses, whose an tagonist for position bad just recommended himself, in Convention, to the people, for their suffrages, on the score that never, in his life, had he drank a glass of liquor, smoked a cigar, or infringed a tithe of the strictest code of moral decoruni :—" Boys, I have clone all these things which my friend yonder has left undone. If all of you who have, in life,copied his example will vote for him, and all who have followed mine will support me, I shall go to Sacramento tint Winter.' He wenf. And I, among the rest, was nominated. I did not expect'it. f knew I did not deserve it. I made a speech before my Countrymen, then and there assembled : touching nO party issue at stake, and not pledging myself to any thing iii particular. It was a ridiculous farrago of nonsense; but it happened to amuse the sovereigns- 7 -being an agreeable contrast to the eternal, dry old platitudes belched forth by the other aspirants. For that, and nothing more, my party chose me to help frame laws for them. I was satisfied, and we were all happy that night; although, at times, the thellght came to me that this portion of the American nation might have done better in its selection. After the nomination came the electioneer ing for votes. 'Again the candidates mounted their horses, placed quart bottles of whisky in their linen-duster pockets, and, day after day, scoured hill, flat and ravine. It was no child's play. In addition to the enormous amount of bad liquor required to be drank as a campaign necessity, old individual grudges were to be smoothed over, the political situation explained tozentlemen of foreign birth speaking little English, understandingleas, and unlimited as to capacity for lager; families were visited ; wives mollified—wives indignant by reason of the husband's frequent demoralization through the excitement of the campaign—wives who at heart wished all politics and politieians at the Red Sea's bottom; children, glutinous with butter and molasses, were to be caressed and admired. Another campaign necessity . : mo neyed candidates became traveling bankers for chronic borrowers, in sums varying from fifty cents to 'fifty dollars. The opposition county paper opened fire, and made us out thieves; blacklegs, defaulters, drunkards, murderers, bigamists. That was nothing. It was expected, and borne, as a campaign necessity. Despite all these political crosses, that was a gloriously wicked era in California for office holders and seekers. In a candidate, the strictest Moral qualifications were not exacted,so long as be spent his money freely and was pos sessed of those characteristics to render him popular with the " boys." Did he drink ? Everybody drank. Did he "get or sprees ?" Most of the active voters of our party got also on sprees. "Every good man"—so ran a home made axiom up country—" would get on a spree once in a while. It was necessary; bet ter than a course of medicine to clear the sys tem of unhealthy secretions." Did he openly take a hand at rondo, monte or faro ? He had for partners the merchant, lawyer, the doctor, the banker—sometimes even the schoolmaster of our camp. Did he ever, to melodious flutes and violins, -whirl in the waltz the airily-ap pareled, gold-belted,olive-tinted female-appurte nance of the fandango-house? So did onr judge, lawyer, physician and banker. Had he ever killed a man ? So much the better. To be known as being "on the shoot" was a. tower of strength. •Theilinidleareffand mired ; the desperate sympathized. No man was firmly settled On a sound political platform until he had participated in an affray. Every aspirant expected to kill his man, sooner or later, provided the population responded to the demand for the necessary victim. At times, in our midst,' some old g entleman, whOse New England ideas as to what consti tuted respectability had become so ingrained as not to be rubbed out by any amount of California attrition, would, when solicited to vote for some Official applicant, rennark : "Ain't he a little wild?" And we would reply: "Oh. he has a little fun once in a while with the boys; Can't put on airs in the mines, you know. Besides, he brings a heap of strength to our ticket; mighty sound on the main' question, and controls the whole Dutch rest at Big Pine Gulch:" And then the old man would, meet our request with a con strained sort of acquiescence. Many of these older :transplantations- from the East were pitzzled at our honest,ounpoken Wickedness. They were Uncomfortable that um attempt was made to - cover it up. „ But I did not electioneer on horseback. I ,was poor, and traveled on foot. Nor did I make any political speeches. Some months previously 1 had prepared, and a few times delivered, a certain lecture. It was a medley of subjects, with a few -ideas; any -amount of moral. and philosophical reflection prodigitlly dispensed to my hearers; and none kept for .myself.. This I delivered in halls, school houses and country groceries, in lieu of a cam paign speech: Some friends advised me so to do. It' was good•counsel. The common peo ple heard me gladly. 1 think this was the first time in the history of American politics that a reckless series of moral reflections was delivered and received in theplace of a political spaccb. ~ And 1 Was' quite careless and indifferenttothepolitical_im- _ propriety of this course.: The people seemed satisfied. So was 1, rejoicing in the little local notoriety thus realized; traveling soinetimes alone, sometimes with other candidates,, but always standing out against them in bus-relief a political phenomenon ; 'entertained at night in hospitable miners' cabins, and by day tramping over the duStY roads to new damps t o speak my piece. I was not elected. That I was not, 'Might have been owing to a political distortion of === ideas on 'the currency question—a distortion. due to the effects' of rum-punch, drank snite` early in the rooming : hence, treason Jo party prineiples, 'expressed in words in a saloon; carried, from thence by an 'overhearing, but meddlesome friend of the noosing party; re ported abroad, caught up, by , the opposition, plunging me into political hot water. I , knew, next morning, .en -awakening into the dull; stale,-head-achy reality of -every day life, that•lhad committed some dreadful fault—what, I could not exactly tell ; but I knew that I bad talked too much somewhere. There was nvague, misty idea of saying some thing politically unlawful and Awful about greenbacks. Currency had ever been so Scarce with me that I could not be blamed for wish ing it more plentiful, even if it were paper. But 1 was uneasy ;, I fled that town before any one was'stirring; walked fotirteen miles • into, the mountains, to a friend who' ran a quartz-mill, in one Of the remotest, deepest, rugged canons of the, Lower Sierras. The campaign WWI at its hottest, and I—a skalk,a recreant,tremblin.g 't a'vague fear! It came. One evening; I saw ; a horseman riding down the In my bones I felt that something , was about to happen to me. He , appeared and disap peared in the zigzags of the road, came nearer and nearer,.growing larger and larger, became recognizable, approached, and dismounting put a letter in my hand. It ran thus "Srx=ltis currently reported throughout the county that, on the day - of August, at the Long. Tom Saloon yon reported your self as being really at heart in favor of paper currency: a' sentiment at war with one of the most venerated'and time-honored principles of our party.

For a time 1 was prostrated and' crushed . ; held an indignation meeting, all by MYself, and fruitful in resolutions, condemnatory of mYself for allowing rum-punch to ,have seduced me into such .a ,damaging. admission.

"She'!" • said Ezra; nonsense I—face it out-say 'it's a lie; you're too conscientious - altogether.

No one came, to my infinite satisfaction. I spared myself the pains of, going into any 'sophistry, to prove 1 bad not said what I bad said, simply by daring. The bold front is ever the most successful. • Yet, I was not elected. Gil? 1 .
