Preveiitian of Miltleav in Peach Trees.

A gentleman in England hits discovered a
method of preventing mildew in peach trees,
which has never fuiltd of success in the experi-
enci: of nine years. In January and February:_
if the trees are in a sickly state (the months 01
1\'larcli or April in New-Englanld will answer as
Well.) take away all the mould from the roots as
carelizilly as possible, and put in its place fresh
rotten tuif from an old pasturagtis Without 3")’
dung—-and the trees will not only recover their
,he~.tl-ih, but pljfldllcti a crop of fine swelled fruit.

as to destroy the germinating p‘r'inciple.—- 808.172..

They are also a very notirisliing food for horses,

be taken, not to work the li‘orses too hard, if. the
horse is in thin flesh when the carrots are given
as food. _ '

This vegetable being of a very nul.I‘.l1i0lJ$ U3“

'When Mr. Bradbury, the celebrated botanist

Maleable Zinc in sheets, calculated for cover-,

it is not subject to corrosion by the weather, nor

INDIAN BATTLE.

Capt. Callis, who has just arrived in this place
from Fort Hawkins, has politely furnished us with
the following important intelligence. ,

About the 6th inst. Gen. Jackson attacked and
burnt the Mickasuckeetown, with an inconsider-
able loss on his part. The loss of the Indians is
not stated. Previous to, and after the action, a
number of the enemy surrendered themselves
prisoners. All their resources, (among-which
were 1000 head of cattle) were taken or des-
troyed. v...;I‘he celebrated prophet Francis, and
oneof. tlgéffirincipal chieftans were hanged.

General Jackson afterwards proceeded to St.
‘Marks, andvtook possession of the fortress with;
out opposition. It is the impression that this
blow has been so decisive,-T that the war with the
Indians is now at an end, and that the Georgia
_,,militia will soon return to their homes.

led to confine him till he became sober, but from
the quantity he drank, he died shortly after he
was sent op shore. His followers, imagining the}
Chief's death was caused by ill treatment from,
Capt. G. went on board the vessel in vast num-'

could lay hands on ; and out of the whole crew,’
