With all the alarm as well as real trouble
be no reasonable doubt that the country is
much richer now than 1t was one year ago
at this time. We actually have lost nothing
worth speaking of. We have parted with
some imaginary but with very little real
worth. England will have to back half a
million Of what we call our losses, and the
continent nearly as much more, while the
difference between this fall and last fall in
pasturage and root crops alone promises to
indemnify US for nearly or quite all our
losses from depreciation or otherwise.
Our railroads, which have been built so
improvidently, and which have declined so
much, are now source of greater gain to
the country than Of individual loss TO their
stock and bondhoders. They have cleared
and planted hundreds of thousands Of farms
in the cosntry during the past year, the
products of which are soon to be added TO
the assets of the nation. When Erie rail-
road stock sells for a levy share, the road
is worth Just as much to the country as if it
sold at premium; it is just as convenient
for emigrants, just as quickening TO farm.
! ing capital, Just as productive an industrial
agency. The sufferers are the compare
lively few who have TO furnish the money
to keep it going. If the stockholders got
good dividends, Of course the country would
be richer, and there would be more money
on hand for new or more extended i'm.
provements; but the country is much richer
with a net work of operating railroads that
pay no dividends, than with only such
number of roads as could be run with a
profit to stockholders. From this point Of
view, it is very apparent that, while heavy
individual losses have been sustained from
railroad property, the aggregate wealth Of
the country has been increased to an meal
culabe amount; for it is difficult to name
single road either built or projected, that
is not desirable, or that would not in time
| be profitable at fair cost.
The mineral wealth, too, which railroads
during the past year have developed, by
making it more accessible to market, would
go far to pay all our supposed losses. The
coal, iron, lead, copper and gold mines Of
the United States could alone furnish prof.
table employment now for all the floating
capital of the country, without any very
considerable increase of facilities for trans
portation.
We were near overlooking another unu-
sual source of wealth, of which the country
will reap the benefit this fall; we refer to
the general reduction Of expenditure, the
abuted extravaganza, the general economy
which for Il month or more will be fashion,
able. When all the white people Of the
United States reduce their expenses one
, shilling day, it makes a difference of $l8,-
100000 week, and of over $50 900, 900
every month. If the nation could be kept
on a reasonable short allowance from now
till the first of January, what we would
save would alone make us rich.-[N. Y.

GFAPEs.-We are indebted TO Mr.. Wagner for
basket. of very excellent grapes, Catawba and
Isabella, which are superior to any we have ever
tasted, or seen. The punches were very large
and full and the grapes themselves well developed
in size and appearance, surprising any that we
saw on exhibition at the st. Louis Fair. Mr.. w.
has twelve vines in his garden, and after giving
away and using at least one-fourth of his crop,
made sixty gallons of wine. The punches were so
large, and the grape so well developed, that sin
gle bunch yielded pint of juice. These, and
other specimSAs sfogn IN this place, establish the
fact, that our soil and climate are eminently a.
daPted to the culture of the grape, and we mar

ness. 1t will pay Betfer than Hemp or Tobacco

The Proposed Territory of Carson.

The people Of Carson Valley, and other
valleys adjacent, held a public meeting at
Genoa, on the 9Th ult., 10 consider the pro.
priety OF petitioning Congress for separ-
ate Territorial organization. So far as we
can learn, the meeting was unanimous in
favor Of new Territory Of their own
The reasons for demanding a separation
from the dominion of Utah are, that they
dislike the Mormons, and have now no po-
liical communication with the authorities
at Salt Lake, and, during the winter cculd
have no communication il they wished it.
A government is necessary 10 them; their
population is large, and rapidly increasing;
and they need protection against rascals
within and Indians without. The MAORI
ty of the inhabitants OF Carson and the adj.
iacent valleys are Geniles, and do not wish
to have Mormon officers over them.
The meeting, in their memorial, ask
Congress to organize them into Territory,
with the following boundaries:
Beginning on the northwest on line
of AZ degrees north latitude and longitude
l2O degrees; thence following the Oregon
and Utah boundary line OH a direct east
course to longitude ll6; thence a southeast
course TO about north latitude 3S and longi-
tude ia; thence further on in the same
direction TO north latitude 81 and longitude
ll2; thence almost due south course to
the boundary line between the State Of So
nora, in the Republic of Mexico, and the
Territory of New Mexico; thence along
that line TO the eastern boundary of Ca!iior-
MIA; aud thence along the latter to the place
oil beginning"
The Carson Valley people estimate the
white inhabitants of the Territory, with
their proposed boundaries, at 1000, OF
whom about 600 are in the Valley Of the
Virgen.

Hogs and Cattle in Indiana.

From returns prepared by the State Au.
ditor, it appears that on the first Of June
in the years mentioned, the number of hogs
in Indiana in 1855, was, 1891 ,475; in
1856, 1863, 293; and in 1857, l,57l ,655.
The number of cattle, in 1855, was $751;
597; in 1856, $50, 577; and in 1857, $685.
1856.
The increase in the hog crop. it will be
observed, is greatly less this year than in
1855, while the decrease in neat cattle is
very considerable both in last year and in
this.

Two Statesmen Equally Astonished
From the Boston journal.

From the Boston journal.
In his New Haven reply President Buc-
hanan thus expressed himself:
Slavery existed at that period and still
exists, in Kansas, under the Constitution OF
the United states. This point has been at
last finally settled BY the highest tribunal
known to our laws. How it could ever
have been seriously doubted, is a mystery
Henry Clay, who in his day was thought
10 have some political knowledge and men
tai acumen, thus expressed an astonish-
ment which he felt, on the 22d CT July,
1850:
II am aware that there are gentlemen
who maintain that, in virtue Of the Consti-
tuition, the right TO carry slaves north of
that line (36 deg. 80 min. already exists,
and that OF course, those who maintain that
opinion, want no other security for the
transportation of their slaves north of that
line than the Constitution. If | had not
heard that opirion avowed, should have
regarded it as one of the most extraordina.
ry assumptions, and the most indefensible
position that was ever taken by man.
So il will be seen that these two eminent
statesmen encountered each great mystic
~ in the examination of the same subject.
Mr., Buchanan thought i: a mystery how
any one could have doubted that the con-
sIitution carries slavery with it. Mr..
Clay, on the other hand, regarded that doe
trine as the most extraordinary assumption
he had ever heard, and the most indelensi-
Bile position ever taken by man. 1t is
doubtless reserved for James b. Clay, in
the next Congress, 10 reconcile the aston,
ishment Of his father, in whose footsteps
he claims TO tread, with that of Mr.. Buc-
hanan, whom he cordially supports.
