The Sunday School. Messrs. Khitors The proceedings of our County Convention last week, clearly brought out several things worthy the attention of ail Christian people, viz 1. There are many places in Union county destitute of religious privileges, where the children are suffered to grow up in ignorance and vice. 2.

That the duty of ovangelmng those dark corners rests on, tue Christians ot tne county. 3. That the Sunday school is a very important and efficient iunirumcntality in the Drosecution of such a work and therefore 4. Steps should be takun without de lay, to establish one ia every destitute neighborhood. All the Convention could do was to Doiut out the dutv.

and resolve that it ought to be done. For the performance of it, we must look to the faithfuluesi of individual But ichat Chris tians ought to address themselves to this work Ia answer to this question, we we need only refer to several principles evident to every intelligent christian mind, viz: Ccd calls psople into Lis kingdom for the very purpose of making thein instrumental in promoting tho inter- ests of that kingdom. In such a work, every Christian is bound to choose the best means, and do all he can. The Sunday school is a means in which the feeblest Christian may do something, either as a teacher or a scholar. And now, in I tg.

One, who was never absent from these meetings, except from unavoidable necessity, was a farmer, living a in'ilo from town a man of little education, unnscd to public speaking, and so timid that be could never be induced to express hif sentiments on suljeots before i the meeting.

The earth should be turned over in the spring and latter part of summer, at least two or three feet from the young trees and then all tbe weeds and grass that spring up will rot and become ezcellcut manure for them.

By such culture, trees will grow rapidly, but without it their growth is extremely slow, and they often die without coming to tui- turity. a be importance of raising forest trees is every year mora apparent, as there is an increasing scarcity of wood and timW in or Jcr to propagate them the young trees must have tho same culture as fruit trees.

The Chevalier de Prague, has discovered a method of effectually preserving fruit trees in blossom from the fatal effects of frost. This method is ei- tremely simple. He surrounds the trunk of the tree in blossom, with a wisp of straw or hemp the end of this he sinks," with a (tone tied to it, in a vessel of spring water, at a little distance from the tree. One vessel will conveniently serve two meani from the neighboring trceJj that tbe frost may produce an tno tSect on the water, by means of the cord trces, that the frost may produce all tho communicating witb it.

This precaution is especially necessary for those trees, tho blossoms ef which appoar nearly at the same time as the leaves, which trcei are peculiarly exposed to the ravages of froet. Seven aprieot trees were preserved by tho Chevalier from the late frosts, and boro a profuse qasntity of fruit, while all his neighbors' trees bare none and he conurriled the fact by repeated experi- meats. Englith Magazine. To promt fiione Fruit rmss Worms. All stone fruit, but particularly plums of every species, are pierced while young, and an egg deposited, which shortly becomes worm, and destroys the fruit.

This egg is deposited by a small beetle, called cureulio, which crawls up by tbe body of tbe tree; if therefore, two or three cf the common toads or land frogs be confined in a pen of a foot or eighteen inches diameter around the root of tbe tree, they will catch every insect which comes within the pen. If one or two teads be penned on an ant hill, they will in a very few days entirely devour the ants. To preserve the stone fruit, it will be necessary in a few days to pen toads around the roots, as tbe cureulio will shortly com mence its ravages on the fruit B. Lexington, AjirilG, 1814.

Krim ril" Berk 01 All ciln rs 40 131 Hon. Lemuel Todd reported the following expressions of sentiments, which were unanimously and enthusiastically adopted resolutions. RitttfoeJ, lt.

That Executive intervention to prostrate the will of the people, constitutionally expressed, cither in the State or Territories, is a dangerous cle- ment of Federal power, and that its cx.r- cisc by the present Chief Magistrate of tbe Kepublic, as well in upon the Representatives of the people, meets our decided disapprobation. 2. That we protest against the sectional and pro-slavery policy of tbe National Administration, as at war with the rights of the people, and subversive of the principles of our government. 3. That we denounce and will unitedly ortnose all atteniDts to enact a Contrres- IF sional Slave Code for the Territories, believing the same to be utterly at war with the true purposes of our government, and repugnant to tho moral tenso of the nation aud that we re-affirm our continued hostility to the extension of Slavery over the Territories of the Union.

4. That we regard all suggestions and propositions of every kind, by whomsoever ma le, ior a revival oi lue siave trade, as shockiug to tho moral sentiments of the enlightened portion of mankind; that any action on the part of tbe government or people conniving at or legalizing that horrid and iuhuman traffic, would justly Suhjuet tno gowovaatacnt mail Citizens of tho United States to the reproaoh and execration of all civilized and christian pcoolc. and that the inaction of the Na- ionjLi Administration in bringing tbe slave-traders to justice, and its course in sending such as have been arrested to trial in places where acquittal was certain, subject it fairly to the charge ef conniving at tho practical re-opening of that traffic. 5. That we hold the encouragement and protection of home production and American industry to be one of the first duliei of our government; that the failure to obtain such encouragement and protection from the last Congress, notwithstanding the professions of the President, conviuces us that the laboring masses of tbe Free State will look in vain for a tariff for the protection of free labor while the administration of the government is in the bands of the party now in power; and that believe the ad valorem system wholly inadequate to tbe protection we demand, and in lien of it we are in favor of specific duties npon iroB, coal, salt, and all such other products wholly the growth and manufacture of the United States.

C. That the reeklcss and prufligato extravagance of the National Administration, causing a necessity for continued loans without any means provided for their payment, give evidence of a want of that ability and integrity whieh should characterize the government of a free people, and unless checked will lead to a dishonor of the national credit. 7. That the passage of a just homo-stead bill, giving one hundred and sixty acres of land to every citizen who will settle npon and liuprovu tbe Btto, woulil L. a measure fair in in policy, and productive of great good to the people of the nation.

That wo regard the defeat of Mr. Grow'a bill in the Senate of the United States, by the party in power, as a direct blow at the laboring classes of tho country, and as unworthy of the liberality of a great government. And that kindred to this was the defeat, by the same party, of the pre-emption bill which gave preference to actual settlers over land speculators. 8. That the purity and safety of the ballot-box must be preserved, and that all frauds upon the naturalization laws, which bavo been so much resorted to to promote the success of tbe party we oppose, ought to be counteracted by wholesome and proper legislation.

9. That we approvo of tbe enactment of proper laws to protect us from the in troduction of foreign criminals iu our midst, by returning them at once to the places whence tbey bave been shipped to our shores. 10. We cordially invite all men of all parties to join with us, in earnest endeavors to restore tbe government to its original purity, aud to preserve the proud heritage of American Institutions, transmitted tu us by our father, complete and unimpaired, to tboso who may coma after us. 11.

The Black Knot on the Flam. The black knot I believe can be kept in cheek, if not exterminated. It is undoubtedly tbe sting of an icsect, about an inch long, pale yellow in color, four wings, and bind legs reserabliog those of grasshoppers.

The puncture of the branch is done by tho female, who stings it in order to deposit Lcr eggs. These epg, numberiog often as many as ten or a fieri, aro laid in August and September. Tbcy are soon hatched, and the larvru lie dormant until the early part of the follow ing Summer, when they are changed into winged insects. Tbe tumor on the tree appears to be caused partly by tho puncture itself, and partly by a poisonous substance infused at tbe time tho wound is made. In August and September, the insects will be found busy at work, stinging the branches and making their deposits; whieh being done, the whole is varnished over with a water-proof substance, and domestic matters are kept quiet until the larva; are batched.

Cut open the limb that has been stung, early in June, and the will bo found alive aud kicking. Of course, the only way to subdue this pest is to wage an unceasing war upon it. Kntrap him in bottles of sweetened water bung in tho trees burn him in bonfires kindled in the garden by night; examine the trees often, and cut out the tumors as soon as they appear, This cutting of the limbs tDd burn them. doss no serious harm, they soon heal over. By pursuing this vigorous treatment, the black knot will do little practical injury.

An interesting report has just been submitted by the Convention of the South Carolinian Episcopal Church, at their session in 1S59, in respect to the marriage of slaves. The following is the substance of the decision arrived at by the Committee The relation of husband and wife is declared to be of divine institution, and lo be equally binding on the slave as well as on the master.
