it is positively bad where t'.ie tree is to be planted jcomp and come quickly
you uau oetter remove it elsewhere and substitute a
couple or more cartloads of good golden soil.
Vegetables like animals must have proper nourish-
ment or they cannot be expected to ihiivc well.
Those who wish to see their young trees grow wi h
ten times the usual rapidity may easily be gratified
if they will be nt the trifling expense of preparing the
soil for the space of four or five feet in diameter and
twice the usual depth by making it equal io the fin-
est garden would before plaining them.
It is both a waste of time and money to plant trees
and keep them in what is termed sod land." A
"young orchard (upon the same soil) will advance
more rapidly in five years if the land is kept under
cultivation than it would in ten if the close turf eve-
ry whero cover the soil. Where a young orchard
must be kept in gross for man-years a circlc of some
six or seven feet in diamrler should be kept loose
around each of the trees by digging it every fall and
spring.
Trees arc very much benefitted by scraping oil"
then.oss and rough birk in the spring; and immedi-
ately washingthem thoroughly with a potash ley or
soft soap reduced with water to consistency of thick
paint.

Ax A 1'oi.ocy. It is painful to us to be compelled
to appear before our readers in the attitude of an apol-
ogist so often our paper has not piid its weekly vis-
its to our subscribers for the last two weeks and we
owe them an apology for the seeming neglect of duty
on our part no one can regret this suspension of pub-
lication more than ourself and we hope that oursub-
srribers will not grumble when they learn tint the
cold weather 'caught us napping" as the room in
which our printing is done had niitherfire place nor
stove and it was some time before wo could procure
either. No exertion has been spared upon our part
to keep the Standard nflrat but we can't pn'nt in cold
weather : ithonl fire. There is our apology and a
very ample one it is to every one not a grumbler by
nniure and we don't care one 1aulcc whether then
are pleased or not. Our apology is addressed to sen-
siblr folks.
The pro tern ed:tor has at length returned to his
nost and would promise to bestow more time and at-
tention to the editorial department of the Standard
han he has heretofore had an opportunity of doing
did he not expect Major D- Morse back in a few days
who will depose him and resume the chair himself
when the young protein hopes to fulfil his promiscof

l3cAn General:
I avail n yself of this opportunity of writing that
I may inform yon as to the various rumors in rela-
tion to the troubles on our Western border tntl tht
much talked of Mexican invasion. Report follon-s
report in rapid succession but of so ron dieting a
character that the mind is tossed from hope to fear
until the heart becomes sick. First wc hear that
Gen. Soiacrvilic is in hot pursuit of the enemy anil
in hourly expectation of doing battle upon him: then
that Caldwell has skirmished and is worsted; then
that the whole West is turning out in masse and
like freemen and patriots determined to dcii.ni their
families their homes and their country; and then the
wi'hcring news that Burleson is bcat'back with con-
siderable loss and that our soil is again ensanguined
nnd made rich with the Mood of freemen who were
valiantly fighting for the rights of man. Yes Gene-
ral fighting our battles while we arc listlessly re-
maining at home.
It is time for the Red River District lo rouse her-
self from her lethargy and if need be ere the stain
viffix itself to our national character prevent it by
meeting our ruthless enemy at the threshhold and
do battle upon them even to the spilling of our best
lilood. Shall wc as a component part of the Repub-
lic stand idly by and view the unequal contest now
raging between the intrepid Burleson and his valiant
and gallant few and the wolf-like Woll and his
myrmidons? No! the freeborn sors of the Red
River District arc made of sterner nobler stufL They
riant for an opportunity to avenge the death ofa Fan-
nin a Crockett a Travis a Bowie. The tragedy of
the Alamo is fresh in their recollection they pant
for an opportunity of measuring blades with the
worse than hirelings o! the perfidious traitor and
tyrant Santa Anna. Our young men are eager lor
the fight our old men arc ready to layby the crutch
and should ring their unerring rifles in repelling
NAVAL OPERATIONS ON 'TIE GULF.
Wc stated yesterday on soi-e - horitv that the

ican squadron Tnis makes the Mexican force upon
the Gulf nltoficlher superior in number and incttal.
to the navy of the LoneStar Republic thou-'h actu
ally inferior wc believe the event will prove in point
of efficacy and power. The Texian squadron at the
present time consists of four vessels viz:
Tie Ship Austin bearing the broad penant of
Comodorc iMoorn mounting eighteen U-i pounders
and two 1 S pounders.

manding seven.12 pounders.
Every run on the Texian vessel throw shot far
superior to the celebrated Paixhan shot in many par-
ticulars and far more destructive.
The Mexican squadron is as follows:

Dr. Johnson's Idea of a Good Newspaper.
Nothing adds so much to the glory ora country as
a free and independent press which faithfully records
all vicissitudes of politics and power; notices the moral
and physical career of nations; records all accidents
by flood and field; aids the cause and dissemination
of knowledge; anil while it aintifcs it instructs. With
such manifest advantages (he adds) who is there that
will neglect an object so worthy of regard.
Some fire hundred summer travelling citizens and
strangers arrived in New Orleans on the -1th instant.
For all of the former there is of course business

doors of employment be hermetically sealed ? Se-

in which it acquired its fame and renown.
In the first settlement of this country it is not un
known to many that a daring and desperate band of
marauders had congregated together and hanging
upon the skirts ofthe advancing settlements perpetra
ted many a wild and daring outrage upon those pion
eers of civilization who had boldly advanced farther
into the wilderness and nearer the haunts of the red
man than other less hardy ad-enturcrs who were Mexicans afloat on the gulf. They received their
principles from loo noble a source to prove unfaithful
to their trusts. The Texian vessels moreover arc
-twelve IS ponndcrsand two 12
pounders.
Schooner Sisalanio one nine pounder and two six
pounders.
Altogether the seven Mexican vessels mount -1"

The murder and robery of an unoffending old man

NEW ORLEANS .MARKET
Remarks No general improviment has been ob-
servable in our market during the week except a
slight improvement in the demand for cotton. On
the contrary rethcran increased degree of dullness
seems to be manifest in most branches of trade a
result which must be attributed in a great measure to
the absence of free intercourse with the interior by
reason of the low stairc of water in the tributaries of
the Mississippi. Wc arc gratifieel lo notice that ar-
rivals of Specie arc becoming more frequent and one
of the fa-orable results will be seen in the gradual
improvement ofthe rates of Exchange. Olhcr Iaige
sums arc known to be on the way. and by the time
the rich products cfthe West come forward in much
abundance wr hope to sec less difficulty in money
negotiations than has been encountered for some
time past.
Cotton. Arrived since 2?th ult. 19070 bales.
Cleared in the same time 1.1.597 bales and leaving
on hand inclusive of all on ship bnaid not cleared on
the 4th inst. a stock of 73.S20 lwles.
Otving to a slight concession on the part of hold-
ers in the early part of the u eek in the qualities rang-
ing from " fair" to "middlintr fair." brought forward
an active demand principally for these descriptions
and the market closed with a greater degree of ani-
mation than it had before exhibited since the opening
of the season. This revival in the demand though
not resulting in purchases lo the same extent has
been pretty well maintained durinjr the past three
days and the market has recovered to the prices of
last week. J he sales of the week sum up 16000
bales of which 7000 bales were sold during the last
three days.

Sugar Louisiana The market must still be re-
potted as rather inactive. In prices there is no ma
terial variation to notice: most of the sales of the new
crop arc at 1 to -1 1-1 cents and the range ofthe mar
ket continues to be Irom . l-l to ;. cents per io.; inc
lattci rate for a strictly prime article. The receipts
of the new crop increase as the season advances and
there aro some parcels now on the Levee of very
good quality. For old Sugars of which there are
but a few small parcels remaining on the Levee the
rate for the best quality is ;i o 4 cents per lb.
Molasses There is some little demand for new
Molasses and as there is not much in the market
holders have been able to obtain from 10 to IS cents
per gallon. The stock of old molasses on the Levee
continues large for the season and the rates have tlc-
cclincdto 10 1-2 to 13 cents per gallon there bcinir
little or no demand. Arrived during the tveck -172
barrels Cleared 150 barrels.
Flour. In the rarly part of the week the Flour
market advanced to 83 S7 1-2 to SI for superfine.
Subsequently holders became still more firm owing
the very light stock and some declined selling with-
out a further advance. Within the last day or two
however the arrival of several parcels and the con-
tinuance ofa very limited demand have considerably
shaken thcconfidenccof holders. and raund Iot3could
readily be bought yesterday at 83 75. though some
choice brands were bringing S3 S7 1-2 to 84 in lim-
itnl parcels. Wc quote at 83 75 to 8 1 for superfine
according lo quality fee. Arrived during the last
week. 73G0 bbls. Cleared. 500 bbls.
