ing over our drawer, we find a large mass OF
manuscript, which was designed to go before
the readers of the Union as poetry. Most of
these contributions come from very young per-
sons. There is a period in the life of all when
the mind takes that turn-but the world has
furnished but few poets. Years hence, when
our patients become convalescent, they will
thank us for declining to publish their effu-

MUS another turn. In ninety-nine cases out of

We notice that large plans of colonization and
mining are now maturing, entirely owing 10 the
facilities Of the overland mail The new Ophir,
to which we called the attention of our readers
about two years since has proved reality, and
the stream OF emigration is beginning to set that
way.
SO far, the overland mail has been complete
success-at least between st. Louis and San
Francisco-and the proposed adoption of steam
boats on the Arkansas will bring the Memphis
branch to an equally favorable result The Post

what he has done, and the contractors deserve

STATE PRISON POIITICAL ECONOMY is a
well known fact in the history of our municipal
corruption, that many officials who have served
for two or three years, on salaries varying from
fifteen hundred to three thousand dollars year,
retire from the public service with quite snug
fortunes, and from the period of their retirement
into private life cut figure in the world They
keep fast horses, own yachts, country houses,
and so forth-in short, live in the first
style. Nor do they attempt to conceal or
deny the fact of their sudden rise to opulence,
but on the contrary boast of it, and make dis
play of the elegances and relinemcnts that sur
round them.
Some innocent people may fancy that they
ought to feel ashamed, and enjoy their mystic
riously acquired wealth in less ostentatious
fashion. But our city officials are above any
weak prejudices of that kind. They are not
squeamish class. No doubt they look upon their
extraordinary accession of fortune as a verv
natural not to say very proper thing. In
fact, they argue in this fashion: "The public
money has to be spent somehow; and why not
we have our share of it as well as others? Isit
not just as well that we should have it as those
who might spend it abroad in other countries? As
we generally continue residents of the city and
its suburbs, it is some consolation to think that
the money is kept in circulation here. Fast
horses require grooms to keep their coats in
order; yachts need men to sail them i'm the sum-
mer and take care of them in the winter; and
country houses must be kept in good repair and
demand large staff Of servants to do the thing
up handsomely. In this way we give at least
some share of the plumber in the shape of indi-
rect restitution. to the city, and the citizens have
no reason to complain
Such is the logic which they apply to their
case; but in our opinion it is nothing more than

one viii be hardy enough TO deny. To show that such
balance exists aud has existed for number Of years. and
10 suggest means for ia prevention for the future will
be the object of my further rcmarks The whole value

oil S215.96 $40 The imports during the same period
amounted TO s3ol aga oe4 Tue difference between the

Here we find one of the believers in balance
of trade, who finds that balance to he adverse to
us because our exports exceeded our imports.
These gentlemen do not treat the people of the
United States with half the fairness Of the show
man, for though they pay their money they can
not take their choice.
The fact is there is no such thing as a balance
of trade, in the sense in which these gentlemen
use it. The values stated In their tables are
neither the actual values of the articles at the
place Of production nor those of the markets
of sale; but they are fictitious valuations,
or "official values" as they are termed in the
language of the Custom House. Numerous ele-
ments besides the first cost, such as freight,
interest, labor, commission and proft-all of
which are Of constantly varying and inscrutable
character-would enter into the composition o.
the true balance of trade, if such thing really
existed. But if commerce between nations is
nothing more than the exchange of the sur
plus each has after supplying its own wants
there can be no such thing as an adverse
balance Of trade; for surplus over what is re-
quired for use has no value until it can be ex-
changed for something that we can use and do
not possess. In this way the true values Of trade
are created by itself, and neither party can be
loser by the transaction; for each exchanges
what he does not want for something which he
requires, and which, consequently, has for him
value. It is for this reason that commerce is
always profitable to a country, no matter what
adverse balances may be deduced frem its icti-
tious valuations.
