Why the Country will be Prosperous.

The New York UeraA enuulerates the }6lom-
ing as among the reasons why the the country
is, and will continue to be, prosperous:
1st-Thc extremely favorable accounts Of the
prospects Of the Western grain crop. We are
not e1agrcrating when We say that the various
accounts IRON the West justify the belief that
the crop Of this year will BIZ unexa1npled in
amount. The area sown list fall was very con-
siderub1y larger than usual; and nn such fa.
yorable seasons for the farmer as last winter
and this spring have bren known fur thirty
wears.
.d-The steady revival of nll kinds Of tratlc
and industry, us evidenced by the Custom House
returns, the strikes among workmcn for higher
wages, the increased exchanges al thc banks,
and tue reports Of merchants und nanufuctur-
ers throughout tue country.
3d-Thc quasi ccrt4inty that the European
Peace Cengicss will Ut least postpone for u year
nr tWu u general war in Europe.
4th-T}e continued advance and speculation
in cotton in the foreign markets. The amount
Of net profit rea1rd )'y the planters Of the Soul.
from their cotton this year will probably coasid-
c:ably exceed olc hundred millions of duliars,
large portion Of which will, Of course, come
here fur investment.
5th-Tle continued abundance Of money Mt
home aud abroad, 1t is quite likely that VIC
shall src Xix per cent oney nlaraet here this
fall; 1lle revival Of Lusinrss will If itself lead IL
this. But tire condition Of the government trea-
>ury, which must continue to pour mt more
gold than it receives, will together with re-
ccipts from California and elsewhere - fully
countcrhhfance the export to Europe.
til-The certainty that np breach Of tie

with Great Britain, Mexico, Nicaragua aud Par

citizens of the trading countries of tho world
have been comparatively idle, have lived ccon-

gone through general process Of liquidation.
