THE TEEMING WEST.

We received a few days since, a letter
from a friend in Adams county, ILL.,, IN
which the writer describes that part of the
West as being beautiful and fertile in the
extreme. On an area of three and a hall
miles square, he says, there was raised
the last season, about 10000 bushels of
wheat and a like quantity of corn, besides
heavy crops of oats and grass. One far
mer alone had 1000 bushels of wheat,
and another had 1000 bushels. All this
is the product of prairie land, just brought
under cultivation.
Quincy, the seat of justice for Adams
county, is on the east bank of the Missis-
sippi, on a bluff, $50 miles above st. LOU
is, and 40 below the Mississippi Rapids.
The town is handsomely built, with a
large public square in the centre, inclosed,
and planted with trees. An extensive bu-
siness is carried on at this place, as may
be inferred from the fact, mentioned by
our correspondent, that at one Touring
mill alone, there were manufactured in 4
months, commencing last Angus, $4,000
barrels Of -four, and that not unfrequently
from 1000 to 5000 bushels of wheat are
SOLD at the several mills and trading hou-
ses in and near the town in a single day.
Truly, the West is a great country.

But the heart most dear, no more is here,
Forever and forever.
No more! l hear it in the pines,
Through which the night winds roar,
These stars will shine in eyes of thine
No more, o, never more.

ceptiou, perhaps, of some growing carnations In
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Boston
It is now only ten years since the Neto York
Herald has been engaged in the great enterprise
of establishing independent journalism in this
country. We have been opposed at every step
by the corrupt politicians Of the day. by the MI
mons of party, by factions on every side. The
establishing of steam navigation, the construc-
tioa of railroads, and the wonderful invention OF
telegraphic communication, have given to journal
ism fresh power, the result of which will take
ten wears more to show itself in its greatest
force. The people of the United States, for
thirty years, have been trammelled by politi-
clans, bound down by cliquss, without an organ
of communication in which their real sentiments
could be heard. The day is passing away, and
the feeble attempts Of Mr.. Clay, Mr.. Polk, MIR.
Benton, or Mr.. Van Buren,, Ito fetter the impulses
of a young generation In the same way they used
to manacle them, fifteen or twenty years ago, will
no longer exist. Even their conventions and
their caucuses, and their public meetings, will,
IN a short time, likewise pass Gway, and be mum.
bered with the things that were-as the rubbish
of past age. The press-the independent press,
acting from its own impulses and stimulated by
its own energies, issuing from large cities, WI
be the only organ of the people Of the United
States, and will determine all public questions,
and elevate all public men, hereafter. Truly,
good time is coming

al over the Continent-in Germany, Italy,
Spain, Russia, and the Northern States.
Aword, now, tor thelNew York press. The
present position OF journalism in this city has
been the fruit of the last ten years of effort.
The New York Herald was the FIRST to lead the
way and il is still in the van; for no other paper
in the United States has a comprehensive and
general circulation out of the city in which 1t is
published, all over the Union, in large as well
as small towns, similar to that of this journal.
In this respect the circulation of the Herald in
the United States, resembles that of the London
Times in England Many papers here and in
the neighboring cities, have large local circula-
tons; but no journal but the Herald possesses a
circulation over the whole country, and even
over Europe.
This success has been obtained through vari-
Gus causes. We were the first to commence the
system of running expresses for procuring news
in advance Oft the means by which 1t was usually
received. We were the first to establish report.
ing as branch of the newspaper business, and
to encourage and educate reporters for the press.
We were the first to bring into action the re-
markabe power of the telegraph; and at this
moment we give our readers, every morning in
New York, commercial intelligence from
Cincinnati, Buffalo, Boston, Philadelphia, and
Baltimore that transpired in those cities the day
previous. In certain respects, the press of New
York has made greater progress than that of
either London or Paris But we don't stop here.
We are now preparing system of machinery
for this establishment, ,chich ,ciH enable us to
throso of eighty thousand double sheets in sir
hours. AS railroads increase and become per-
fected throughout the country--as the telegraph
wires are extended from this great metropolis to
the remotest boundaries of the republic, even to
the city of Mexico ITSELF will we be enabled to
extend our operations, and give increased energy
to the journalism of New York. At this mo-
ment, the Ne,o York Herald is the only journal in
this country that occupies similar position, and
possesses similar circulation, to those of the
London Times IN England, or the Journal de
Debates, or the Presss in Paris-but we mean in
a short time to exceed them all.

London, Paris, and New York, are the only
three cities in 1.-THE civilized world, in which
the daily newspaper press exists as a great, In
dependent, intellectual, social and political pow
err. The rise of journalism in those cities has
been promoted and furthered by their great popu-
lation, and the vast patronage growing out OF
that fact 1t is now about thirty years since
journalism in London began to develope its
growth. This was caused by the originality,
energy, talent, and skill, of one indIyidual-the
late Mr.. Walter, OF the London Times. That
distinguished man took hold OF the London
Times, when it was small morning journal, Of
little circulation, no influence, and daily loss
to its proprietor of that day. Mr.. Walter COM
menced his improvements by running expresses,
establishing system Of reporting, giving origi-
nal articles, all independent of the politicians,
stock iobbers, bankers, and brokers of the day.
During the whole of his career, he was opposed
by the statesmen and politicians Of the time, as
we'll as by the large capitalists and great specu-
lators; but his energy and tact overcame all OPP
position, and he established, before his death,
the London Times ON foundation, and according
to the principles of system, that may continue
for century to come, under Encouragement Of
his son.
The following curious statement of the Times,
as it now exists, will be very interesting to every
one in this country
