Stephen Arnold Doughs, who is respon
sible for the repeal of the Missouri Com
promiseresponsible for Kansas outrages
responsible for much of the ill-feeling
which exists bctweeu the North and South
responsible (happily) for a great deal of
trouble in the Loco-Foco Party responsi
ble iu short for a great many things, and
who, after all, is not a very responsible
man is now trying, to arrange matters so
as to secure the "Charleston nomination
and mnke himself President. Between
the Northern and Southern elements of
his Party he has a delightful time of it.
By his efforts to secure the repeal of the
Missouri Compromise, he acquired consid
erable popularity in the South, and by the
Fame meaus he lost considerable popularity
in the North. To regain the confidence
of the latter, it became necessary for him
to give a new turn io his wonderful doc
trine of Popular Sovereignty. This he
did, as he doubtless imagined, to a T ; but
unfortunately for him, the operation cost
him the displeasure of the South; and the
Slaveholding portion cf that sunn- region
have eyed him with suspicion from that
day to this. To bring himself again into
Southern favor and patronage is now a
great purpose which the veritable Stephen
means to accomplish. Let us see how he
pjocs about it.
In September of last year, Abram Lin
coln, of Illinois, delivered a speech at
Cincinnati, in which he proved most
clearly that Douglas is an enemy to the
North and to its free institutions. He
quoted largely from Douglas own speeches,
and produced other evidence showing, be
yond the possibility ot a doubt, that Sla
very has no more reliable champion on its
own soil than Stephen Arnold Douglas.
Out of that same speech the artful Doucr
las now attempts to make capital for him
self. He has caused it to be printed, and,
under his own frank, has shipped 50.000
copies of it to the people of the South.
A nice dodge truly ! Who but the most
despicable political trickster could have
planned it ! Who but the wily and un
terupu'ous Douglas would have resorted
to it I Well did John Hickman say of
this man ''upon thy belly shalt thou go,
and dirt shalt thou cat all the days of tbv
life."
For years Stephen A. Douglas has been
practicing the art and mystery of carry
ing water on both shoulders. But he has
not yet become an adept in it, and it is
lurdly probable that he ever will, Euffi
lUtitly to rnako himself President.
Whether his last desperate bid for South
er u otes be successful or not, it is more
then likely that the movement vnil make
him unpopular with many of his friends
ie tha North. It will tha b nec
essary for him to devise and carry out
some scheme to conciliate them again.
And so on from North to South, and from
South to North, until :
Ky making it often too big and too little,
The Tinker at last will quite spoil his kettle.
Pennsylvania Hail Koad.
At ""'the recent annual meeting of the
Stockholders of the Pennsylvania Bail
Road Company, held at Philadelphia, the
following gentlemen were re-elected Di

Hon. Edivard ISalcy.
Judge Edward Bates, of Missouri, who
it is not unlikely will be the nominee of
the Chicago Convention for President of
the Unite! States, is now in the sixty-seventh
year of his age. He was born in
Virginia, and is of Quaker descent. In
the last war with England, he served sev
eral months in the Army. He went to
St. Louis in lSli, and two years later
was admitted to the Bar. In 1S20, he
was appointed Attorney General cf Mis
souri, and in 1S24 became District Attor
ney of the United States. He was elect
ed to congress in 1S2G, and in 1830 and
1SG1 to the State Legislature. In 18-13,
he was elected Judge of the St. Louis
Land Court, and served threo years, and
then resigned. In 1817, he was Presi
dent of the Chicago Harbor and lliver
Convention, and delivered an address
which was exceedingly able. In 1852, he
was President of the Whig Convention
which nominrfci Gen. WinCeM Scott.
He has been U.o leading lawyer of the St.
Louis Bar, and in his private life is re
markably exemplary. In politics, he is
conservative ; he is a Republican, but not
an ultfa-Bcpublican ; and his abilities as
a statesman are unquestioned. We may
state also that Jndgs Bates is the father
of seventeen children, eight of whom are
still living. In this as in every other re
spect, he contrasts favorably with the pres
ent Lead of the ration, who has done
uothing for the Republic, as a parent, and
very little for it as a statesman.
Submarine t able.
Recent advices from Quebec state that
Parliament has voted $S 000 per voyage
to the Canadian Steamers, and $10 000
per year for a telegraph at Belle Isle. It
is projected to run a submarine cable from
some point on the St. Lawrence, at or be
low the present terminus of the Company's
line, to a point on the Labrador Shore of
the Straits of Belle Isle. The channel at
the selected place is so narrow that all ves
sels passing through the Straits pass with
in half a mile from the main hm !. This
extension of the tclegrajh will reduce
communication between Europe and Amer
ica to about six days, as the length of the
proposed cable is some five hundred miles,
or nearly two full steaming days' distance.
The line is to be completed duriDg the en
suing summer.
Presidential.
We notice that efforts are being made
to have Henry D. Foster nominated for
President, though we hardly thir.k they
will be successful. His friends here feel
it in their bones that he is to be badly
beaten this fall in some way or other, and
they wish to postpone the threshing as
1 12 s possible.

CHAPTER IV.
. General Ilescrlpiion. .
If in agricultural advantages Cambria
county cannot vie with some of her sister
counties, certainly in the horticultural de
partment she has few superiors. In the
culture of the various fruits, our husband
men have been very successful. It might,
naturally enough, be supposed that our
high geographical position and the cold
ness of our climate would render the cul
tivation of fruit an inauspicious cxpeii
ment, but actual experience has led to a
different conclusion. The fact that the
best apples in the world are produced in
the valley of the Hudson whero the sea
sons are more severe than our own is a
sufficient answer to ai:y objection on the
score of climate.
The truth is, the lateness of the season,
when
''Winter lingering chills the lap of Spring,"
prevents the putting forth of buds until
the season of heavy frosts has passed ;
whilst the constant mountain breeze pre
vents that greatest enemy to our orchards,
the hoarfrost, from settling ou the blos
soms. Ilei ce, it frccjueiitly occurs, tthat,
when fruit is plenty with us, our neigh
bors in the sifter counties of Indiana and
Blair are entirely destitute of this luxury.
Apples are exceedingly abundant, near
ly every alternate year, (lor no where do
apple orchards produce largely for two
years in succession,) in every portion of
the county. The same may be said of
pears. But peaches and plums, though
cultivated all over the county, are favor
ite productions of Carroll township, whose
farmers sell immense quantities of them
every season.
It is to be regretted that our fruit
growers have not paid more attention to
the improvement of their orchards. A
few of our nursery men, among whom I
cannot forbear mentioning the names of
E. A. Vickroy, Esq., and Mr. Charles El
lis, have contributed largely to the im
provement of this important department
of agriculture.
Our forest trees are the same, in gen
eral, with other portions of Pennsylvania;
but as a general rule, they attain a larger
growth here than elsewhere. However,
this is not always an advantage ; for if a
valuable tree brings more on account of
its size, a worthless one, on the other hand,
is much harder to begot rid of in clearing
the land.
The different varieties of Oak, (White
Oak, Black Oak, Red Oak, and others,)
arc to be found here on nearly all our ta
ble land, and are used for fuel, rail timber,
staves, clapboards, tanuiDg, and some oth
er purposes.
The Walnut is found here also the
Black Walnut principally in Concmaugh
township, and the White Walnut in dif
ferent portions of the county. The for
mer is prized as well for the excellence of
its fruit when hulled and dried, as for the
value of the wood, which commands a
high price in the Eastern uiarke:, having,
in a great measure, supplanted mahogany
a3 veneering for furniture. The White
Walnut or Butternut is also very palata
ble when fully ripe and preserved.
Neither is the Hickory very common
with us ; though in particular neighbor
hoods, as, the Hickory Ridge in Allegheny
township, it abounds. Its fruit is also
very delicious; its wood furnishes the best
of fuel, and is also used for axc-handles,
&c., on account of its firmness; while the
saplings arc iu great demand for hoop
poles.
Maple abounds. The different varieties
are all to be found in this county, consist
ing of White or Silver, the Red, and the
Sugar Maple. The two former are much
used by wheelwrights and other mechan
ics, particularly what is known as Curled
Maple, which makes very handsome fur
niture. The Sugar Maple is a very com
mon aud a very valuable tree. From it
many cf our larmers supply themselves
with sugar aud molasses for the year, and
besides send large quantities to market.
The modus ojtcrandi is this :
A grove of sugar trees, as they are
called, a mile or more in circumference, is
technically called a 44sugar camp." Some
where near the centre, a shed is erected,
forks sunk into the ground, a strong pole
laid thereon, from the centre of which a
large kettle or boiler is suspended. Other
vessels are supplied us a feeder to this.
The trees are tared some two feet from
the ground, a three-quarter auger being
generally used. Into the hole thus made"
a fjnle, as it is called, is inserted. The
spile is usually made of sumach, four or
five inches long, and split off, till within
an inch of the portion inserted in the tree.
The pith being removed from the centre
cf thee pile, the "sugar wAter" fiowa
through, and drops into troughs hewn out
of poplar or pice logs, constructed for the
purpose.
The sugar season usually commences
in March ; and the water, when the
"camp" is very large, is usually collected
in vessels, placed in a sled, which is drawn
j by a horse. More frequently, however,
j the water is all carried by hand and
sometimes by females. The molasses thus
made is superior to that made from the
sugar cane for table use.
The Dogwood is also found ; and is only
valuable from its beauty in the spring sea
son, aud from its almost unerring indica
tion of good wheat land.
The Cucumber tree is not unfrequently
fouud in our ravines its wood is equal to
that of the poplar, and its berry or fruit
i-z admired very much fur Litters.
Ihe Tulip tree or Poplar is also of very
common occurrence. It grows to an im
mense size, and the softness and lightness
of the wood, makes it a valuable article of
trade.
Birch is to be met with every where in
our woods. It is excellent lor fuel, being
little inferior to hickory, and is coming
into u;.o as furniture.
Locust, also, ia common with us. Its
greatest value is its durability, lusting
lunger than any other kind of wood.
Hence the value of locust posts, locust
ties, .vc. It is also trreatlv admired as an
ornamental shade tree.
The Sassafras, though somewhat rare,
is found in some parts of the county. The
wood is useless, or nearly so, but tea made
of the roots has the character of purifying
the blood, and is certainly not unj alatab'e.
Wild Cherry. Immense quantities of
lumber manufactured lVciu this tree are
annually shipi cd to the Eastern maiket.
It commands a high price, aud is in great
demand among cabiacl-makers. Its bark
is also medicinal.
The Quaking Apcn is not unfrequently
met in openings in our forests. As a wood,
it is valueless; but the beauty of its ap
pearance, and the crntant tremulous mo
tion of the leaves, make it au object of
interest, and secure it from wanton de
struction. The beautiful tradition that
'the Redeemer's cross was of this wood,
unwittingly to ourselves, perhaps, height
ens om respect for this sensitive tree.
The Chestnut is a very common upland
tree, and indicates a rather light and drv
soil.. It is chiefly valuable for fencing
purposes, but its fruit, which it produces
in wonderful abundance, is a very great
favoiite at the winter fireside.
Iu low moist situations, the Beech is
found in great abuudance. Its wood is,
not very valuable, nor does its fruit afi'ord
very agreeable food, except to the wild
pigeors, which congregate in great num
bers among the beech trees, ::td devour
their fruit, ou their passage to the South.
I he Linden or Basswood, w hich is not
uncommon iu deep soil, is valued for the
softness and toughness of its wood.
The White Pine is still abund-t ia the
northern portion of the county, and tho'
the lumbermen have beeu at work anion
it for the last half ceni&ry, there are for
ests of it remaining untouched. It has
been a source cf immense profit to those
engaged in that business.
'lhc Hemlock is perhaps more numer
ous than any other species of timber in tnis
county. Indeed, it has remained neany
undioturbed, except where it had to srive
way before the axe of the settler, in pre
paring his ''clearing" for the plough.
However, this neglected timber is coming
into general use for scantling and rafters,
plank, and fencing beards ; its bark is
being used instead of oak, in the process
of tanning leather. The Laurel Run
Tannery, owned by A. M. & R. White,
uses Hemlock bark exclusively; and it is
said that of Messrs. Murray, Zahiu & Co.
purposes doing the same.
These, and some others, constitute the
forest trees ot Cambria county; and I
hope the reader will pardon me for the
time 1 have dwelt upon this branch of the
Subject.
