DECREASE OF EMlGRAT1oN-We learn
from the N. Y Herald that the last report
of the Commissioners Of Emigration shows
a great decrease in the number of emigrants
arriving at the port of New York from the
first Of January to the 23d inst. The
arrivals for that period are, in fact, less
than half those Of the same time last year.
The number up to June %, 1857, was
1,6OS; while that Of the present year is
only 3O,450. The Herald remarks:
This decrease IS, unquestionably, attirbu
table to the late financial revulsion. 1t is
one of its most natural consequences. The
alarm which our crisis created in Europe
gave this country new aspect to MANY Eu-
ropean eyes. The demand for work or
bread, the tumnltuous scenes of Tompkins
square and the Park-fomented and pro-
longed FOR certain politicalpurposes- deter
ed the emigrating classes from trusting
themselves to the incretitude of fortune
which seemed to await them here. 1t will
probably be some years before the. tide Of
emigration falls again into its old channel.

say, however, that there is something
greater and higher for state, than mere
physical resources. We must be imbued
with the spirit which animated our anoes-
cestors, in the great contest which We COM
mence to day, if we would secure }he
greatest success. IF We would build an
empire that shall not decay, We must b
faithfal to just principles. The mostsalu-
brious climate, the most fertile soil, are in
vain, five do not Imantain wise and just
institutions. Many States Of antiquity,
now orumbled into ruins, could once boast
Of as much wealth and elegance as exist in
any nation to-day: But they were false to
liberty and they died. Let the principles
of Christianity which alone can give us
true civilization, 60 hand in hand with our
arts, our laws, our physical growth then
the land will blossom as the rose-then We
may build up an empire chat shall defy the
ravages Of time.

dred local reporters it is perhaps time for me
to make my first effort. am a farmer, land
agent, surveyor, &C. dwell in the land; walk
up and down it, and 60 to and fro in it;
as saith your Prospectus. In regard to farming
1 report progress, and judging from present ap-
pearances the people of Stearns County will
not starve to death another winter if they did
last for even now there is within half a dozen
miles of here, grain and produce for1 sale
which was raised in Stearns County last year.
As land agent report lots to give away in as
pretty . town as Minnesota affords; and good
claims to be had for song. As surveyor l
would say the land in this region is surveyed
from rail road incumbrance and subject to pre-
emption. Forty varieties Of timber, and oil
