THE FAR WEST.

II is almost inconceiyable with what
rapidhy the people of the country arc
moving towards the Far West. The Wes-
tern Journal of the 18Th ullimo gives the
returns of an election in Plat county, on
The west line of Missouri, at which two
thousand votes were rolled, giving popu-
lation Of more than Ten thousand. This
county cannot be found on the most mod,
ern maps. Yet this Plat county is Gll =
ell mp with dense population, ard line
Of four post c"aches runs from ST..
Louis to Weston. Town and cities rise
in The West, literally: as if under magic
influence. Such are the effects of free in
ss!iu'ions, applied to a fertile country.

INDUSTRY TAINTED.

The author Of series Of essays a, the
South is sounding an alarm among The
people of that region upon the state OF
public feeling in that section of the coun-
try on The suLjec. Of industry. In the
course of one of his essays he says:
"My recent visit to the Northern States
has fully satisfied me that the true secret
of our difficulties lies in the want of ener-
Ky on the part of our capitalists, and gno-
rance aud laziness Oh the part of those
who ought To labor. We need never look
for thrift while we permit Our immense
timber forests, granite quarrIes and mines,
to lie iGle, and supply ourselves with
hewn granite, pine boards, latIs, and shin
giles, Sc, furnished by the lazy dogs a,
the Ncr,h-ah, worse than this, we see
our Back country farmers, many Of whom
uSe too lazy to mend broken gate, or
rc?aie tie fences, to protect their crops
from the ncighboring stock, actually sup
piled with their axe, hoe, and broom ham
,!les, pilch(orks, rakes, SC. by the indolcnt
moun,aneers Of New Hampshire ant!
Massachusetts. The time was when eve-
ry old woman in ,he country had her
gourd, from which the country gardens
were supplied with seeds. We now find
j, more convenient to permi, this daty to
,levolve on our careful friends. the Yam
KEGS. Even our boat-oars and landspikes
for rolling logs, are furnished, ready made,
10 our hand, and villa, jimcrack can pos
sibly be invented Of which we are not the
purchasers? These are the drains which
are imporcrishing the south-these are
the true sources Of all our difficulties. -
Need add, TO further exemplify our ex"
cessive Incidence, that the Charleston
market is supplied with fish and wild
game by Northern men: who come out
here as regularly as the winter comes for
this purpose, and, from our own waters
and forests, often realize, in the course OF
one winter, a suffciency to purchase q
email farm in New England"
