anywhere--not even in New York, where
the largest rowing population is gathered.
Least of all are there such signs in the man
ufacturing districts. On the contrary, here
are to be seen the greatest evidences of
thrift and prosperity. The large, well-iilled
barns. and comfortable farm-hOuses and
well-stocked pastures. tell their own story
for the farmers. TheImills with the exceps

the mechanics shops are in full operation,
giving constant employment to all the op-

ders appear to be well stocked with goods
and with purchasers, which is, perhaps, as
good proof Of prosperity as can be given.
In all quarters l hear the same story of re-
cent prostration aud depression and of re-
viving prosperity. The funds in the saw
ings banks, representing the accumulated
millions of the working classes, are untouch-
ed, except as drawn out in some few cases
for investment in the new Government
Loan. The rate of wages of the day labor

The enlistments, too, are going on through
out New England as fast as the Govern
ment can supply the men with arms, and
put them iuto service. The county of
Worcester, from which l am writing, an
agricultural county, with population of
10000, has two regiments at Washington,
one in camp, almost under my window, and
another about to be raised. With all this,
the farmers have not yet begun to enlist in
earnest, having been occupied till now with
their crops. The class Of men going into

Nor is it alone in men for The army that
New England has done its duty by the wise
institutions that have so much contributed
to its prosperity during the long years or
