MEMORIAL.

To The Senaic aud House Of Representatives Of the
United States ih Ccngress assembled The memorial
of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 18th Of September, 1850, that they informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that they do not expect or desire to reside on the
land thus granted; that if patented to them, the
expense Of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge, reducing the value Of the grant, which
they could avoid il permitted to sell the Warrant.
Your memorialists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale Of the warrants, assan e.
that the officers and volunteers entitled TO bounty
lands. are not competent 10 act for themselves,
whereas many Of them are among the most intel
lgent and respectable citizens Of the States. They
Therefore respectfully ask that ,the act aforesaid
nav be so modified to make the warrants for
bonnty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.

The following, from the New York COMMERCIAL
advertiser, furnishes food for reflection to thosc who
seem to imagine that the only way to make the til
sge ofland profitable to purchase distant mark
for that class Of its products which admit Of length
cncd transportation, at the expense of preventing
the formation Of markets in their immediate vicin.
ity. They go upon the theory that it is sdvanta-
gcous TO dtspost men instead Of concentrating them.
They quietly assume, in all their ressonings that
every whit of available labor in the country is
,tantly employed at fair wages, or might be, but
for the wilfu neglect Of tho idle. Now, IL is alto
gether probable that three fourths Of the labor
pended in plucking the strawberries mentioned in
the annexed paragraph performed by women
and children, and who could otherwise have earned
nothing; and il is than probable that the
value Of the berries after every deduction for extra
labor, is ten times that ofsny crop which would be
exported to foreign market
SOURCES OF SUPPLY.-We arc informed that
within distance OF ten miles, on the line of the
Ramapo railroad, there were gathered on wcdnes
day last more than eighty thousand baskets Of
strawberries. Thcsc were all forwarded to this
city. This Is comparatively small item, but il
serves to illustrate the importance Of the railroad
avenues, now radiating in all directions from New
York, ms sources Of supply. IL would be difficult
20 determine TO whom these roads are Of the most
importsnce-thc citizens of the country who are
by them furnished with a ready market for their
surplus, or our own, who arc benefited by the
abundant supplies received through their instru-
mentality.
