RETURNING PRosrERrTY.-h statistical account of fail
ures published by one Of the mercantile spy agencies in
New York contains facts which show signs of dawnng
day in the commercial horizon In 1857 the whole
Der of failures in the United States 1892, against
4225 in 1858. The liabilities in 1857 were 1921, $780,
OO0 1853 s95 49, 662, nearly two hundred mil
lions less
The failures In New York in 1857 amounted in liahil
ties round numbers) to $50 millions nnetenths Of
which in the city, including Brooklyn and Williams
burg In 1853 the liabilities of the failures were about
1926 millions less The whole number of failures in Penn
sylvania for 1857 53t liabilities $40 900 for 1883
1868 liabilities $l39 900 Ohio in 1857 had BAG failures
whose liabilities ST1,750; in 1858 the failures
were 2s2; liabilities $40 200.
If any conclusion be drawn from these interesting
facts il is that the country is steadily and rapidly rccov
cng from its depressed condition that the effects of the
late commercial rcvulsion which extended to all classes
fast passing away healthy and prosperous state of
trade is taking the place of sckly and dropping
merce and that the foundation has already been laid
long season of prosperity, tending to develop the
sources increase the wealth of the country well as of
individuals, and spread contentment and happiness
throughout the land.--Clereond Piaaadeaer

THE LITE AGRICULTURAL CONGRESS-
prom the Baltimore Republican, Jan, 10

From the Baltimore Republican, Jan. 10
We have RETAINED from saying any thing in reference to
the action of the Secretary OF the Interior and the Com
missioner of Patents in calling together the Agricultural
Congress which recently assembled at Washington We
desired wait until the dounment OF this body before
giving an opinion the subject Our Washington let

Grafton and quite apposely thereto we ind the follow
ing truthful remarks n late number of the New Hamp
shire Parid They just and appropriate that
adopt them as our own.
We have noticed with regret, because there higher
interests involved than personal considerations,
sharp and bitter attacks upon the Secretary of the interior
on account of his action in calling together body OF
men, composed of representatives from every State and
Territory to advise with the agricultural branch of the
Patent Office bow best to promote the great agricultural
interests of the country.
We have thought and still think the object for which,
this board convened prasewortby The agri-
cultural interest is the great heart of the country its
puatons turn the wheels of our manufactures, freight
our atelia rivers and lakes and send Ships driven
by wind and steam, across the 1t is the life OF
the country Why then should it not be ostered by the
government
We frame our revenue regulations to protect
manufactures we build light houses and breakwaters
aud clear rivers in aid of commerce. and appropriate
millions for these purposes, and yet with strange idea
Of economy and justice to begrudge the Use of few
thousands benefit that parent interest which is the
great motive power and basis of both Such carping
seems to US puerilc The expense attendant upon the
gathering OF this board sinks into insignfcance in view
of the objects designed to be accomplished The benefit
likely to be conferred by the comparison of notes and
garnerng of general information for general diffusion,
contemplated by this board, can but be immense to
branch of industry whose annual product amounts to hun
dreds of millions of dollars and is great and re

Are commerce and manufactures only to be fostered
and agriculture left shift wholly for itself! The day
is past when any such narrow views should prevail and
