VALUE OF RAILROADS TO FARMERs.-We notice in
some of the agricultural journals complaints of the
farmers against railway companies; that they take
up the best lands of the farm, do not protect the
lands and often kill the sheep and cattle, and are of
doubtful utility. This is very short-sighted view
of the influence of railroads upon the farming in
terests. By opening new markets for districts re.
mote from the city they often double the value OF
farms within few years. Instead of dull market
the farmers all along the line of road find it difficult
to meet the pressing demands for milk butter cheese,
calves lambs, and almost everything that the farm
produces. Husbandry thrives under the stimulus
of hungry market. Almost everything brings cash
in hand, instead of the old store pay, with settle
ment once year. Farm lands are in brisk demand,
and 90 up in price forty, fifty and an hundred per
cent. We believe that railroads have added enough
to the value of the farms of this country to pay for
one-half the original expense of building them, en-.
ormous as it is. We were conversing with an in
telgent farmer few days since, who lives upon the
line of the Syracuse and Binghampton railroad.
The stock was worthless, and he had lost the six
hundred dollars he had put into it. But he said he
considered it one of the best Investments he ever
made for it had added ten thousand dollars to the
value of his farm. Farmers then, can afford to put
up with the trifling Inconvenience of railroads. 1t
is safe for them to subscribe for share Of the Stock
according to their MEANS if they thereby

We receive in the letter of Chinese correspond
ent the rather startling intelligence that the Govern
ment of the United States has decided to take pos
session of the Island of Forosa as security for the
payment by the Chinese Government Of the in
demmity demanded for damages done to American
interests during the disturbances at Canton. While
it comes from source likely to be we'll informed,
We hesitate about giving full credence to it. 1t seems
improbable that snch q step should be resorted to
withouta previous demand for indemnify, followed
by refusal to give it. The seizure of portion Of
Chinese territory can be regarded BY the Chinese in
other light than act of war; and it 10 hardly
conceivable that our Government should have re-
solved upon war, without preliminary effort to Oh.

Formosa lies about ninety miles Of tho southeast

Let me not be misunderstood. l urge the union
