Prosp Of our Country.--Rothschd is
reported TO have recently said 81 will not
lend dollar to such country as Ameri.
ca. which has to import its own wheat"
The insinuatlon was that our people, with
all their beautiful country, were not inclin.
ed 10 industry. and soush: abroad for that
which shoul have been raised in abundant
quantities at home. Rothschild was wrong.
There is no want of industry in our coun-
try, no more than there is Of enterprise.
The scarcity of wheat in the United States
/ for The last year or two can be readily &C.
counted for. Too much land was laid out
in "ci;y lots" and remained waste and un.
occupied when it could have been profita.
bly, employed in agricultural purposes and
TOO many persons became interested in i'm.
peding rather than advancing the supply
of provisions for our market. But the err
ror of such course has been seen. Men
have again go their jackets of and their
sons and daughters probably employed in
tlipg the ground, or making butter and
cheese. where they have been lately ''show-
ing Off to advantage in the large cities.
Providence smiles upon his labors. Sum-
,ine and rain alternately descend and
mosten and w;rn the earth. The ripen-
ing corn and the golden grain now smile
in rich luxuriance where last year was but
waste, and our country will again prove
herself the richest on the globe. What Is
there that the limits of the u. States cannot
produce-;hat the people of America can
not accomplish. Rothschild may cast a
sur ut our having imported foreign grain,
but one thing is certain, we shall be CON-
PEELED to pay it back again and that in kind
| las those from whom we obtained it could
i'll spare it) and we shall be able and Ger
tainly willing to do SO. The farmer has
seldom had better prospect than that which
is before him. The crops never looked
more promising. and hope and happiness
again spread their wings to cheer and IN.
vigorate the Responding hearty. \.

With sounds of apprehension and despair:

NEWS FOR CALIGULA, or how 10 destroy
the whole human race in one moment.
The small space into which the whole hui
man family might stand without being
crowded, appears very remarkable upon
calculation. A square mile contains 9,097,-
600 square yards, and at 1.-THE rate OF four
persons, large and small, to square yard,
10, 800, 400 human beings. Thus the swar-
ming population of the United States could
be crowded, without inconvenience, into a
square mile, and could be walked round in
an hour. In like manner the host of Xer-
XeS, OF which the Grecians represent one
end as seeing the sun rise, and the other as
seeing him at the same instant set, could
have been ranged in close order on a field
ola hundred acres and'coud all hear The
voice OF the speaker. The inhabitants Of
the whole earth, about nine hundred mill
ions, would not fill a circle of ten miles in
diameter they might, therefor be ridden
round in an hour, and might hear a bell
placed in the centre. The whole race Of
mankind might thus be swallowed up in
one earthquake, and not one be left alive
to record it in newspaper, or any body
but himself TO read il if he were. Every
human being upon the face of the earth
might not only stand but sleep within the
boundaries Of London, and have plenty OF
room 10 kick his neighbor cut OF bed. And
The whole multitude of mankind thus stan
! ding within circle ten miles in diameter,
and holding hands, might be struck dead in
an instant by single shock, from gal
vanic battery. What a beautiful expert
ment for Caligula .Ne,C Era.

a BOY CONDEMNED TO BE HUNG.-We
published on the Sth an account OF the
trial at Lowell, OF two boys. Michael Mo
nohon, Is years old, aud Michael Whay-
Ian, 10 year. DID, Tor the crime OF arson, in
burning the aims house at Cambridge.
The jury did not agree on verdict, and
were discharged. A new tria was order
ed, which was closed on Friday night, and
resulted in a verdict OF Gully, against Mo-
hunon. The Lowell Advertiser, Of last eve
ming says :-"Aiter thorough investiga-
toIi Of the circumstances Of the case, and
charge from the Chief Justice the most min
ute and comprehensive, the jury retired,
agreeing upon verdict about half past
ten. The rumor having spread abroad
that the jury had agreed, numerous coI-
course assembled at the Court house, TO
hear the solemn sentence of the law. The
Attorney General having recapitulated
some of the most prominent witnesses, con-
cluded with the request that the Bench
would proceed TO pronounce the sentence
which the law adiudges TO the crime. Mo-
hoEon being called, he rose and heard, with
stoical Indifference, brief sketch OF his
past but vicious life.
The affecting language OF The Judge, his
appeal TO Mohono's feelings for an affected
mother, 10 his sense of the awful situation
to which he had subjected himself in break
ing the laws, his request that he would pre-
pare for the early and ignominious death
which awaited him, and the finally sentence.
"lhat he should be hung by The neck until
dead" were altogether scene OF intense
interest, which drew tears from many an
eye. Not muscle of the prisoner trem-
bled at his sentence, and he withstood
the gaze Of hundreds with as much appa-
rent indifference as il unconcerned bur

hardihood, is question for a philosopher,
