PEACH TREES.—A correspondent
writes to us that a formidable disease has re
cently appeared among the peach trees in this
town and vicinity, which will ultimately des
troy this fine fruit unless an effort is'inade to
arrest it. A knot is formed on the exile of
the twigs, whether by an insect or other cause
is not known, which arrests the sap and for
ces it to exude so as to form a black eseres
°shoe first on the twig, then on the limb, and
finally the trunk of the tree bccones affected,
and lookes as if scathed by fire, while the fruit
and leaves fall off, and limb after limb withers
and dies. This disease is communicated from
tree to tree like the yellows, and in eight
weeks a healthy young tree planted near an
old diseased ono was utterly destroyed. The
appearance is something like the black knots
on the phial, and the only remedy yet known •
is the same, that is to cut off the diseased
limb, and if the trunk has become affected to
out away the tree. If this is generally atten
ded to we will soon exterminate the disease
for its ravages are yet confined to certain lo
cations, and the orchards north of the town
are not yet affected. ,It appears to spread in
the direction of the north-west, and it is un
availing for one person to cut down their trees
and plant now ones, while their neighbors
eater theirsio remain. It ought to be sim
ultaneous, and it is disgraceful to see gardens
in this town full of plum and morello cherry
covered with black knots, spreading the in•
feetion from garden to'garden and prohaVy
originating this v ery disease to the peach.

STATE AGRICULTURAL FAIR.—The State Fair
will commence on the 25th September. The
preparations of the Society are on the most
extensive scale. The exhibition grounds em
brace nn nrea of nearly twenty-one acres, all
of which has been enclosed by substantial
fencing eight feet in height. The ring for the
trial of speed of horses is nearly one-third of
mile in circumference. A number of frame
sheds have been erected, one of which is 300
feet in length, and 4wo of 200 feet. Eleven
large tents are to be pitched upon the ground
for the further accommodatiou of visitors.—
Over one thousand stalls for horses and cattle
have been erected, together with pens anal
coops fur swine and poultry. Refectories will
also be within the enclosure for the accommo
dation of all. In short, nothing is left undone
by the efficient Secretary of the Society, It. C.
WALKER, Esq., to tender this fourth exhibition
creditable alike to the Society and State at
large. Our Hotel keepers nud boarding hous
es are making the most extensive preparations
to accommodate the large concourse of stran
gers who are expected to 'be in attendance.—

DREADITL Mmintln occurred
in Philadelphia on Wednesday afternoon, in
the vicinity of the Rending Railroad Depot.
Christian Kauck, a young man 25 veers of age,
son of a police officer of the 111th ward, was
shot dead in the middle of the afternoon, in
one of the most public thoroughfares, by Rob
ert Dorman, n'bnr tender ai William 111 . 3141-
len's tavern in Eighth street, below South.
Dorman was one of the delegates to the Loco
fon City Convention, and the murder occurred
(luring a recess of the Convention. The cause,
however, is stated not to have been occasioned
so much by politics as on account of a Fire
man's quarrel. The author of the deed says
that he committed it in self defence. lie was
pursued through the streets by a mob—one of
whom had a knife drawn in his hand, and.
Dorman, finding that he could not escape,
turned upon his assailants, and fired a shot
from a six barrelled revolver which resulted in
tie manner stated.
Since the above was in type we see that the
Coroner's jury, who had the matter under con•
siderutirn, has returned u verdict that the act
was committed by Robert Dorman in self de
fence.

to tho means of capturing the creature. It.
H. Smith, is president of the "experiment
company." They have constructed large hooks
attached to cables, which they intend to bait
with live birds, and in that way put a hook in
the jaws of the leviathan. An observatory, is
to be constructed on the shore, and constant
watch kept. Other parties are in pursuit of
the nondescript, with intent to capture and
exhibit him. Several shots were fired at the
snake on Wednesday by persons watching for
it,
TROUBLE REVIVED.—Many of our readers
will, no doubt, remember the affair of Lieuten

Navy, who pulled President Jackson's nose for
striking his name from the navy list, on account
of his failure to make good a balance claimed
to be duo from him as ex-officio successor of
Purser Timbeclake, who died on board the
ship commanded by Randolph. The claim
was made against' him at the time by. Amos
Kendall, the Sixth Auditor of the Treasury.
Since the nose pulling the case of the unset
tled balance has never been brought to trio',
from what cause we are unable to say; but
the present Secretary of the Treasury having
insisted on a prompt collection of all old bal
ances, the case is now undergoing investigation
at Richmond, Virginia, with a fair prospect of
a verdict in a few days.

EXECUTION OF' RE131E1.9 AT CANTON
In our remarks on the retirement of the
rebels from Sunchow, it is stated that the
thousands of meti brought to Canton as pris
oners are now being decapitated at the rate of
a hundred and fifty a day. That was the num
ber, weovere told, executed on Saturday last,
a spectacle to which we were witness. The
Canton execution ground has before been de
scribed in this journal, and for all our readers
it is not necessary to repeat that it is situated
about 100 yards from the river, at a distanee
of two miles - or So below the factories. The
ground is oblong, about 150 feet in length, the
entrance on the side nearest the river being
about six feet. This is closed with bars du
ring the practical operations. At the grand
entrance the ground is about 20 feCrt wide.
On the right hand, doorways open on to sever
al oven and tile manufactories.
As we approached the execution ground
many were met with hands to their nostrils,
or with their tails tied round their faces for
the purpose of avoiding the horrid stench,
which could literally be .• felt " at a consider
able distance The ground was covered with
partially dried gore, the result of the past
day's work. There are DO drains to take the
t lood away, nor is any substance used to slake
it. Ooe man was found digging holes for two
crosses, on which, he said, four were to be
tied and cut in pieces.
The execution had been fixed for noon. At
half a dozen nice arrived with the knives,
preceded by bearers of rough deal wood boxes
decorated with bloody sides. These were the
coffins. Unconcern was the general appear
ance of the soldiers and spectators, of whom,
altogether, there may have been one hundred
aid fifty. The day wii• dull, a fresh breeze
Loaf the eastward carrying the stench away
from foreigners, who, to the number of a doz
en. had obtained admittance to the top of ono
of the houses on the for side of the street pas
sing the entrance of this "field of blood." At
111 the first batch of ten prisoners arrived,
speedily followed by the rest in similar quan
t.ties. Each prisoner (having his hands tied
behind his back, and labeled on the tail) rip
peered to have been thrust down in a wicker
basket, over which his chained legs dangled
loosely, the body riding uncomfortably, and
marked with a long paper tally, pasted on a
slip of bamboo thrust between the prisoner's
jacket and his back. These man baskets,"
slung with small cords, were carried on bam
boos on the shoulders of two men. As the
prisoners arrived, each was made to kneel
with his face to the south. In a space of
about 20 feet by 12 we counted as many as 10
ranged in a half a dozen rows. At five min . -
utes to twelve a white button mandarin ar
rived, and the two to be first cut in pieces were
tied M the crosses. While looking at this
frightening process the execution commenced,
and 20 or 80 must have been headless before
we were aware of it. The only sound to be
heard was a horrid obeep—cheep—cheep, as
the knives fell. One blow was sufficient for
each•—the bead tumbling between the legs of
the victim before it. As the sword falls, the
blood-gushing trunk springs forward, falls on
the breast and is still for ever:
In four minutes the decapitation was com
plete ; and then on the other victims com
menced the barbarity which to think of only
is sufficiently barbario. With a short sharp
knife a slice was cut out from under each arm.
A low suppressed fearful groan from each fol
lowed the operation of the weapon. Dexter
ous as butchers, a slice was taken successively
by the operators from the calves, the thighs,
and then from each breast. We may suppose,
we may hope, that by this time the sufferers
were insensible to pOin ; but they were not
dead. The knife was then stunk into the ab
domen, which was ripped up to the breast
bone, and the blade twisted round and round
as the heart was separated from its holding.
Up to this moment, having once sot eyes on
the victim under torture, they had become
fixed as by fascination; but they could be
rivetted there no longer. A whirling sensation
rztn through the bra: n, and it was with difficul
ty we could keep ourselves from tallit,g. But
this was not all; the larhings were then cut,
and the bead being tied by the tail to a limb
of the cross, was severed front the body, which
was then dismembeted of hands and arms, feet
and legs, separately. After this the Mandarins
left the grow', to return, however, with a
man and woman ; the latter, it was said, the
wife of one of the rebel ohiefs—the man lb
leader of some Jui. The woman was cut up
In the way we have described; for tho man a
more horrible' punishment was decreed. lie
was flayed alive. We did not see this, but it
was witnessed by the Sergeant of Marines of
the United States; J. P. Kennedy—,the cry at
the first insertion of the knife across the fore
head, and the pulling of the flesh over the
eyes, being most horrible.—Friend of China,

STILL LATER FROM . EUROPE:
ARRIVAL OF• THE ATLANTIC
BOMBARDMENT OF SWEABORG.
SANGUINARY BATTLE ON THE TCHERNARY
The steamship Atlantic arrived at New York
an Thursday, with news from Europe one week
later. We learn from.the advices that an ad
ditional force of fifty thou'sand French troops
is to be sent to the Crimea. In the White Sea
the eqmidron' of tl.e A lies had capturedcf'wo
Russian ships, and was preparldg 7 to quit that
sea. In Anatolia a Russian division had driv
en the Turks from Kenpri Kevri, and CDCIIIIII L.LI
three leagues from Erzeroum. Russian agents
had been sent to . the chief cities of Europe to
liaise a loan for the Russian government. At
Sweaborg the foss of life was quite sin All. but
imcording to the account of the Russian admi
ral, the Allies did no damage whatever to the
fortifications, hatteries.or guns. Two English
steamers bombarded Riga on the 10th but ap
parently without effect. Gortschalioff cord
/Handed the Russian troops at the batt'e of.
Tclo rnnya, consisting of six thousand cavalry
and twenty batteries of artillery. The whole
number of Russians buried was 3329, and three
of their Generals were killed, On the 19th the
artillery of the Allies 'opened a fire upou Se•
Imstopid, but the bombardment had not com
menced. Gortschnlioff's latest despatch, dated

AWFUL RAVAGES OF TIIE YELLOW, FEVER.—
The last daily report of the yellow fever at
Norfolk sums up fifty four deaths, and at Ports
mouth Itreniy-one deaths. A meeting of the
refugees from Norfolk was held at Barnum's
II otel, Baltimore, on Thursday morning, in
reference to the refusal of President Pierce to
evacuate Fort Monroe and allow it to be used
as a refuge for the people of Norfolk. About
15U persons were pre&ent and great dissatis
faction was expressed that the President re
fused to accede to their request. Another
c immittee has been sent down to see if it eau
be evacuated in ton days, if necessary, The
President of the Norfolk Packet Company has
offered to move all the troops from Fort Mon
roe to Fort Washington in. 24 hours with all
their equipments.
There was a scarcity of provender for the
horses, food for the people and coffins and
graves for the dead, both at Norfolk and Ports
mouth. - In Norfolk there were one thousand
persons /tick and four hundred at Portsmouth.
The acting Mayor of Norfolk has proclaimed
martial law, with a view to obtain vehicles to
bury the dead, Sc„ by impressment; and since
then carts, wagons, hearses, and every other
two and four wheel conveyance have been used
for that-purpose. Some carry one, some two,
some three, and some four bodies at a time.
Women with children in their arms were run
ning about the streets, crying bitty my poor
husband ; but it is hard to get the dead buried.
Numbers were buried in common rough boxes,
and numbers aro putrefying for want of con
veniences of burial. The relief fund in Phila
delphia exceeds sixteen thousand dollars, and
in Baltimore reaches nearly thirteen thousand.
Two Philadelphia physicians are reported to
have died of fever in Norfolk.
Tun ANGLO FRENCH ALLIANCE.—The Engr

Very extensive preparations were made for it,
the design being to render it altogether the
most Splendid pageant of the kind ever exbiti- .
