The prairie flowers have faded
The winter winds are signing
And the verdure Of the lovely earth III,
Hav long been dead or dying;
The cold north wind is,chasing
The summers perfumed air
The forest trees are leatess now
Decay is everywhere.
The earth Is dark and dreary
When leaves and flowers depart,
And the soul is sad and gloomy
When hope deserts the heart;
Trae emblem these Of human life.
The summers feeting bloom,
Like joys, sparkle cn our sight,
Then sink into the tomb.
Yet summer flowers viii come again,
For God has promised this;
And clouds that gather in life's path
May veil world of bliss.
oh, who, for all of earth, would lose
The faith to mortals giyen,- ~,
That though the flowers Of life decay,
They1l bloom again In Heaven.

The WHEAT.-The continuous covering of the
earth by snow was generally hailed with delight on
the part Of agricuturists but experience has shown
that the usual advantages derived therefrom are
not apparent at present in the wheat fields. A
farmer mentioned TO us the other day that at least
one half of his crop had been destroyed smother
ed for the want Of air owing to the fact that the
face of his fields were first covered with ice through
which the air could not penetrate, before the fall
of snow upon them. Air Is as necessary to the
vegetable as il is TO the animal kingdom, princi-
pie well settled in philosophy and fully illustrated
by the experience Of the past season. - Frederick

A message was received from the President
in relation to Central American affairs, including
the transit routes and the general condition OF
Nicaragua. He does, not however, in 1t enquire
into the causes which led to the change of gov
ernment, but states that Padre Vigil had been
received because satisfactory evidence exists that
he represents de facto et dejaxe the government.
The President, also, adduces numerous consider
ations in reference to the prcprety OF MS receP-
ton, ard suggests additional measures tor the
security of the Transit route.
The documents accompanying the message
are voluminous, and include the letter OF Padre
Vigil to Mr. Marcy, Of President Riras to Presl-
dent Pierce, q spicy correspondence between M.
Molina and Mr. Marcy, in relation to the late
massacre of Americans at Virgin Bay, and CO.
pies of the instructions to the naval comman-
ders at that depot for attending to the interests
of American citizens. Mr.. Weller spoke warmly
in favor of Gen. Walker, and Mr.. Crittenden
responded by stating that in less than ten days
after the reception in Europe of the Intelligence
of the action Of our government in regard 10 thls
question, q war would be on our hands.

wealth. The consequence is, that the thrifty
planter and successful merchant look to other
lands for the employment, upon sure and re,
munera,ing basis, of the capital which years OF
assiduous labor and dashing enterprise have ac-
cumulated their desire is, when the necessity
of labor and close application TO business mas
cease d, to invest their earnings in industrial en-
terprises of sure foundation, with moral GER
tainty of Welding profitable and permanent re-
turns.
The absence of such enterprises at the South
and the abundance of them at the North, has
proved the strongest Indictment to emigration,
and the transmission of capital. MIR. Gregg mas
piyen two instances of gentlemen of South Ca
rolina, of large views, Of practical bevevolence,
who contributed literally to all the local charl-
table Institutions, the promoters OF every INDUS
trial enterprise in their native State, and were
in every respect useful, patriotic citizens on
their death il was found that the greater portion
of their capital had been for years invested IN
Northern Manufacturing, and in the far West,
pushing forward enterprises in that new country.
MIR. Gregg ascribes to the same cause the
withdrawal, during The last twenty-five years,
from Carolina of planting capital which, if judi.
ciously applied, would have drained every acre
of swamp land in the State, besides resuscia-
ting the old worn out lands. and doubling The
crops. The same gentleman is satisfied that
this system of abstraction of capital and emil
grafton have prevailed to still greater extent
among the commercial classes, and is confident
that Within the same period of twenty-five years
he can count up twenty-five millions of capital
accumulated in Charleston, and which has lett
with its enterprising owners, who have prIncl-
paily located in Northern cities.
This is bad enough; but were it possible Tor
us to count the number of emgrating New Dr.
leans merchants and capitalists within the same
period, or to estimate the amount OF capital
transmitted hence to other sections of the coun.
try, seeking investment in permanent industrial
enterprises, what melancholy picture we might
hold up to the gaze of the reflective portion OF
our citizens! The millions of money earned by
mercantile thrift, at the cost of comfort, health
and even life, has been abstracted, and lost 10
our city forever, and gone to add to the strength
and general welfare of other communities. Had
this immense wealth, or even a tithe of it, been
absorbed in the establishment of factories, Or
we will even say, in one single branch OF manu-
features, that of coarse cottons, for which this
locality excels all others, the spare capital which
is annually taken away from US to enrich other
cities, would remain at home. and by its action
reaction, and retention, contribute 10 the increase
of our producing power, and of an industrious,
thrifty, and permanent population, elements es-
sential to our growth and prosperlty-N Y.
