The New York Herald enumerates
the following - smesg thsvsssos Why
the country is and will continue to be
prosperous
lst-The extremely favorable &C
counts of the prospects Of the Western
grain crop. We are not exaggersting
when VIC say that the various accounts
from the West satisfy the belief that
the crop of this year will be unexam-
pied in amount. The area sown last
fall was very considerably larger than
usual ; aud no such favorable seasons
for the farmer as last winter and this
snring have oeen known for thirty
/ years.
2d-The steady revival Of all kinds
of trade and industry, as evidenced by
the custom House returns, the strikes
among woikmen for higher wages, the
increased exchanges at the banks, and
the reports of merchant. and manufac-
turers throughout the country.
3l-The quasi certainty that the
European Peace Congress will at least
postpone for year or two . general
war Ia Europe.
4th-The continued advance and
speculation in cotton in the foreign
markets. The amount Of net profit
reaped by the planters Of the South
from their cotton this year will prob
ably considerably exceed one hundred
millions of dollars, large portion OF
which will, of course, come here for IN
vestinent.
5th-The continual abundance OF
money at home and abroad. 1t Is
quite likely that we shall see six per
cent money market here this fall the
revival of business will of itself lead to
this. But the condition Of the govern
ment treasury, gnich must continue to
pour out more gold than it receives,
will, together with receipts from Cal
ifornia and elsewhere, fully counterbal-
ance the export to Europe.
6th-Thc certainty that no breach
Of the peace is, this year, to grow out
Of cur relations with Great Britain,
Mexico, Nicaragua and Paraguay.
7th-The prospect Of further addi-
tons to the worlds stock of the prec-
,ous metal, from Frazer River, Pixies
peak and elsp where
sth-The prospects of an enlarged
market tor manufactures in India
which has been non. consumer ever
since the outbreak Of the rebellion; in
Chna-respcctlng which Lord Elgin's
report on the probable future trade OF
England and the United States with
Hanko and the neighboring towns =
in Russia, which, since the introdCc
ton of railway system, Is doubling its
consumption Of foreign manufactures !;
in Japan and elsewhere.
6th--Thc fact that for eighteen
months the citizens of tie trading
countries of the world have been COM
paratively idle, have lived economical
Iy, undertaking no new enterprises
and gone through general process OF
liquidation.
The aggregate of these favorable
facts and prospects present picture,
the like OF which has, perhaps, never
been witnessed before by our oldest
buysincss men, and foreshadows for
the early future period of such activ-
ity and prosperity as even this coun-
fry never knew before

Es- The Fairfield Ledger notices
the call for Republican State Con-
vcntion and SAYS
"This is call upon the Republican
army Of Iowa to take the fed again
AGAINST THE ENEMIES OF ECONOMICAL
GOVERNMENT AND THE TRUE PRINCIPLES
OF FREEDOM. We feel sure this call
will be responded to with prompti-
tude and energy worthy Of our noble
party and our glorious cause"
What does the Ledger mean by
this? Should the " army" aforesaid
"take the field against the enemies Of
economical government and the true
friends of freedom" the Republican
party will be annihilated. Take care,
Mr.. Ledger, or you will be read out OF
the great Republican part. This is
rank treason to the ''powers that be"

From The Correspondents OF ths Rslt. snn.,
Tariff Speculation The Pacific
Railroad Bill.

II will be difficult to carry measure
lin Congress for q partial revision Of the
tariff, for the benefit of the iron or wool
or any other particular interest. The
cotton and wooden manufacturers will In
sist upon the the same measure Of In
creased protection that is given to iron.
and the advocates of low duties will re-
sist both. Neither the committee of f.
nance, of the Senate, nor the committee
of ways and Means, of the House, will re-
port bill for the increase Of the tariff,
except nnder instructions, A return to
specific duties is SO generally deprecated
by the Democratic party that the measure
cannot succeed while the Democrats have
a majority in both houses. 1t appears
probable that Congress will devolve upon
their immediate successor the solution oil
the question. ~ T
Meanwhile, proposals for the loan OF
ten millions, as authorized. will be issued
and expenditures ofevery description will
be reduced as far as possible. The House
if it was really in earnest in passing the
twenty millieG% pension bill, meditates an
, increase of the national debt to that
[amount. But they probably depend up
on the Senate to arrest the motion, and
the Senate may throw the same respou-
sibility upon the President, who it is be-
lieved, will not hesitate to meet it.
The Pacific Railroad bill, with all the
various propositions on the subject will
no doubt, be brought to Q conclusion mex,
week. The measure. as brought forward
by Senator Gwin, is as perfect as any one
that has been offered, and if that, with
some notifications, do not pass. it is moi
likely that any other will be adopted 81

Kansas--Governor Medary-Montgom
cry and His Banditti.

A private letter from Kansas now be-
fore US gives sad picture of the lawless
violence of Montgomery and his band of
robbers and assassins. The New Gov
ernor, Col. Medary. arrived at Leaven-
worth and took charge of his Office on
Saturday evening, and was awaited on by
committee of citizens from the towa of
Fort Scott and neighborhood, asking the
protection of the Government against
Montgomery and his men, who had very
recently committed foul murder and
extensive robbery. Fort Scott is about
hundred miles southeast of Lecomp-
ton. the seat of government.
It seems that the Sheriff of that. coun-
ty had arrested one of Montgomery
band, and had him kept in hotel room
for want of a Jail. The ostensible object
of the attack was the release of this pris-
oner. So the new Governor 6nds anoth-
er war on hand-coniped, it is true. to
some two counties; but the robbers have
sympathizers oil over the Territory in the
Republican ranks. a
The new Governor has neither men
nor money. The Marshal of the Terrific
ry is a sickly, inefficient man, and the
District Attorney is now in Washington.
The whole region abont Fort Scott is in
deplorable condition; is at the mercy oi
Montgomery and his men. who are well
armed with Sharp's rifles and Beecher re-
volvers. That is not an entertainment to
which new Governor has any desire to
be invited. a.ss hrs. ba3sst )
Colonel Medary is in Q tight box. He
has either to take Montgomery and break
up his marAuding band, or be proclaim.
ed an inefficient Governor. But he has
not the men and means to act with ef-
6ciency. We shall zee how he will gel
through with it. He is, in the grave.
yard of Governors. and may possibly find
resting place there with the other de-
parted We hope, however, better fats
awaits him. If he takes Montgomery
dead or alive and annihilates his band al
an organized banditti, be can retire with
the honors of victory.-Gn. Eng. soaa

1t is said to have larger circulation than
any similar Journal in the world, and
certainly no agricultural journal furnishes
so much valuable reading for so low q

mers and uit-growers of the United
States and Canada a. regular cowespon-

can compare with the Gsnesee Farmer. 1t
has introduced the practice of offering
prizes for the best essays on variety u
subjects interesting to every csltivstor Of
the SOIL This method of calling ost the
experience of farmers, and their wives
and daughters, has proved eminently sue
cessful. The January number contains
fifty. of these Prize Essays. These essays
alone are worth many times the cost of a
paper for year. They are we'll written,
eminently practical and suggestive. and
will be read with more than ordinary in

Finance and Taxation.

A table recently prepared by the Auditor
of State shows that the value of real estate
in Ohio. in 1853, is $590,2S5,947. The
value of personal property for the same
year is stated at $3.50, ,5l4,084. The ag-
gregate of personal and real property is
thus 846. s00,03l +
The total assessment Of taxes for this
year is $9,156,65o 80. This amount ex-
ceeds the the assessment of 1851, to the
amount of $368,721 IA.
These figures bear to the Taxpayers of
Ohio an unpleasant aspect; for while an
increase of taxation to the amount of near
ly four hundredthousand dollars, over that
of last year, will be recommended by the
Republican Administration, the amount
of personal property on the duplicate is
far less than it was in 1855 and 1856.
How shall this startling state of the
figures be accounted for? I will be re-
membered that the Republican Legislature
of 1856 so revolutionized the previously
established Democratic system Of equal
| taxation, as to exempt hundreds of thous.
| ands of dollars worth cf Bank capital from
the payment of taxes.
| This fact accounts to a great extent,
for the decreased showing of personal
property entered for taxation in 1858, as
compared with the amount in former
years. ...1..
| Two things then plainly appear, in the
so called Republican system of finance il
Ohio, of which we have but lately heard
some extravagant boasting-and these two
things, the attention of tax payers, ir
these times of bank-revulsion, is urgently
called. -
First the incorporated laboring classel
mechanics, manufacturers, and merchants
will be required in 1859 to pay severa
hundred thousand dollars more. to carry
on the Republican system of finance,
than they have paid formerly. ea
Secondly. since the Republican part,
came into power in Ohio, and by it's action
banks and bankers have been released from
taxation, upon large proportion ofthei
assets. capital, or property employed il
banking.n"l ~ $50
Since the advent of the Republican par
ty to power in our State, asystem of par
tial taxation has been insugurated, b,
which the masses of our business and Ia
boring men have. been made to pay unjust
| ly for the profitable privileges which tn
State has accorded to banking monop
olies. sg1 u -
This was hard enough, especiall
during the financial crash, brought OF
chiefly by the improvidence of the bankin,
Interest, prostrating every energy of th
country. Bet when to this is added
heavy increase Of taxation upon the prop
'lsrtsof the people already bearing an unfai
and unequal burthen, the two facts take
[ttogether will set the people to enquirinI
tasto what compensating benefits the
have derived from Republican rule.-&ases
