A WESTERN PICTURE.-Anthony Trollope
furnishes the following account of what he
ssw in the West.
| was at Chicago and at Buffalo in Octo
ber, 1861. ! went down to the graneres,
and climbing up into the elevators, | saw
the wheat running in rivers from one vessel
to another, and from the railroad bins up
into the huge bins on the topstores of the
warehouses-for these rivers OF food run
up hill as easily as they ran down. saw
the corn measured by the forty bushel meas
ure with as much ease at we measure an
ounce of cheese, and with greater rapidity.
| ascertaned that the worl, went on, week
days and Sunday, day and night, necessarily;
rivers of wheat and rivers of maize over run
ming. | saw the men bathed in corn as they
distributed it in its flow. | saw bins by the
score laden with wheat, in each of which bins
there was space for comfortable residence.
bIeathed the flour, and drank the flour, and
felt myself to be enveoped in breadstuff =
And then believe understood, brought it
home to myself as q fact, that here, in the
cornlland Of Michigan, and amid the bluffs
of Wisconsin, and on the hoh,tabled plains
VI MlnHesold, ana Tue pldlilcS Oi liiluols, Ddu
God prepared the food for the increasing
millions of the Eastern World, as also for
the coming millions of The Western. | be
gan then to know what it was for country
to overflow with milk and honey, to burs:
with its own fruits, and be smothered by its
own riches. From St. Paul down to the
Mississippi by the shores Of Wisconsin and
town-by the port of Lake Pepin-by La
Crosse, from which one railway runs east,
ward-by Prairie du Chen, the terminus of
secondly Dunleath, Fulton, and Rock
Island, from whence three other lines run
eastward all through; the wonderful State
of Illnois-the farmers g!ory-along the
ports of the great lakes, through Michigan,
Indiana, Ohio, and further Pennsylvania up
to Buffalo, the great gate of the Western
Ceres-the loud cry was this: "How shall
we rid ourselves of our corn and wheat?"-
The result has been the passage Of 6O,00o,'
600 bushels of breadstuf through that gate
in one year, Let them that are susceptible in
statistics ponder that. For them who are
not, | can only give this advice: Let them
90 to Buffalo next October, and look for
themselves.

The Debt We are Piling Up.

The New York Christian Advocate CONT
ments on the National debt which this war
is creating as follows:
They tell us Of an expense of nearly seven
hundred millions year. Can we appreci-
ate such sum? Ninety five millions Of
miles, Start a RAILROAD train for such a
journey. Let it stop At no planet for wood
and water or passengers. Place on it n little
infant. The infant becomes man, reaches
the allotted age of man but earth is not
reached. Let another take its place and
live his three score years and ten, another
aud another, another, and still no pause for
repairs, or to cool its burning axles, the
journeys end is not attained. The fifth
mans dying eyes are looking forward mil
lions of miles for the journeys end But we
are here talking OF seven hundred millions
and ninety five.
For hundred years or more churches
have been gathering property in the United
States. Subscriptions have been nobly deed
ed dying men left their accumuations to
their loved churches, and in all this time
the evangelical churches have uot together
about fifty millions of property-not enough
to pay the price of victory for one month.
We have missionary society. 1t gathers
each year from nearly million Of people,
1t throws its beniicent influences into near
y every part Of the world. But its whole
yearly revenue would endure the draft Of
the United States Treasury only one hour of
the ten in day
Seven hundred thousand men are drawn
from the pursuit of industry. 1t is far more
impoverishng than if a million of paupers
we're thrown on us to support, for the lat orers
and producers would remain at work. Now
they are far worse than idle Their weapons
are costly equipments, the standard of per
ishabiIity; harvests perish and cities are
ruined, by their presence.
England is contributing fearful accounts
of wants and starvation to swell the price of
victory; France loses the sale Of twenty five
millions of its wares; and interior Europe
and parts Of Asia are paying portions Of this
stupendons cost Of war.

NUMBER. 4,

FREMONTs COMPANIoNs.-An Eastern
correspondent thus speaks of some Of Ere.
monts late associates in the East:
The 80 called California "gang" became
celebrated for their alleged dealings in con.
tracts during Fremont's stay in St. Louis,
that ninetenths of the people in this section
are of the opinion, that having once got a
hand in war contracts, they can never get
them out. The chief members of the gang"
have scattered-one or two have reported
returned to California. Woods was last
heard from in Washington, where he WAS
pressing his claims for service performed, on
the treasury. Palmer was in New York.
Leonidas Haske! has had beef contract in
the West, and is on visit to Massachusetts.
Major James S. Graham is also reported
to have profited lately by beef contract
An exCity Judge of San Francisco is now
practcng law, and buying up Government
vouchers and claims in this city. An ex No
tary Public of San Francisco is in ST. Louis,
and has lately had something to do with the
Quartermaser's office. The smaller fry who
acted as clerks and understrappers for the
big members of the gang" mostly remain in
Government offices. One singular result Of
this episode in the history Of war contracts
in the West is, the universal admission at
the present time by nearly everybody in St.
Louis, that the Californians who followed
Fremont, were the smarest and shrewdest
set Of chaps who ever came into St. Louis,
City spectators, steamboat agents, mer-
chants and Others who have ever been look
ed upon as the sharpest set of fellows in
town, could not hold candle alongside Of
the Caifornans. Another thing many of
the "guerrillas from the PaciA" who will
be recognized in California as defunct poll
ticans and lobbyists, succeeded in convincing
many first rate men in the city that they
were highly injured people, and that the
stories re.vamped against them were simple
conspiracies to blast their reputation, so thst
Others could get their contracts.

THE ToBAcco SUppLY.-The consunfers
of the "Indian weed" are getting alarmed
and with reason, at the prospect of their
future supply. Seven eighths of our tobacl
co in past years has been raised in the
Southern States, one third in Virginia, where
owing to the rebellion, but little can be
raised this year. In Kentucky and Missouri,
the crop was small. Very much more than
usual will be raised in the Northern States.
but it is "seed leaf,' used in the manufacture
of cheap cigars, and in but little demand in
Europe. The amount available in the mar
ket will probably not be more than fourth
the usual quantity. In 1860 the amount
exported from New York in the first four
months of the year, was 2,44l,4 ,443 lbs; in
1862, only 23l,soo lbs. Since the rebel
lion commenced, not one box has arrived at
New York from Virginia, and but little
from any part of the country.

1t is related of Southern slave holder
that he was wont to boast of the head en-
durance of favorite house servant. Upon
the occasion of dinner party, be Dragged
that Sam could not be knocked down by
any blow, however severe upon the top OF
his head. An athletic and powerful man OF
the party laughed at such an idea, and as
Sam was about entering the room with the
candles, he stood behind the door and struck
him a powerful blow on the head. The
candles fickered little, but Sam passed
quietly on, merely saying: "Gemmen, be
careful of de elbows, or de lights will be dis
tinguished."

will be recollected, were horrified week or

of Richmond. That spy was here the 9th

He is we'll known here, and is relative to
one of the officers of the Interior Depart
ment. He was in Richmond three times, in

vations he sums up in the. declaration "it

than all the dry land on the globe. It

THE WAsuoE TRADE.--A gentleman just
returned from Washoe, informs the Stockton
Independent that on his passage over the
mountains, eastward, he went by the Placer
vile route, that the trade is exceedingly
brisk, and not less than 5000 teams are
regularly plying by the road between this
State and Washoe The tolls paid the diff
ferent toll houses amount to $50 per team
each trip; a trip takes Is days time. Thus,
it appears if the road is open for six months
each year, the tolls collected on the Placer
vile road amount to 100000 per year for
teams alone. He returned to Washoe bv
the Big Tree ronte, which he represents as
in many places, quite rough and needing i'm
provement He thinks that in the present
condition of both roads, that the Placeryill le
is 90 per cent the best.

The order to Gen. Wright is working
finely. Loyal citizens are not more annoy
ell by curses against Abe Lincoln.
Nepdda Journal,
Who is Abe Lincoln! Is he the servant
or master of the people? The very men
who are now denouncng Others for con.
demning the arbitrary and unconstitutional
acts Of Abe Lincoln, villaneously abused
Gen. Jackson to the day Of his death !.
Their fathers Indignantly sIandered the
author of the Declaration Of Independence.
But, then, Jefferson and Jackaon were Dem.
ocrats, tolerated the utmost liberty Of speech
aud were not afraid to have their acts inves
tigated and opposed. They relied on the
patriotism and intelligence of the people;
their patriotism and intelligence vindicated
their conduct and silenced their shameles
traducers. Lincoln is evidently afraid to
submit to a similar test, and threatens with
the Bastile those who dare differ from his
Administration. None but the most slavish
who are unworthy the name of American,
will tamely submit to such arrogant dicta.

The SMALL SHIPMENr.--The unusual small
shipment oil treasure yesterday, attracts no.
tee 1t was the result Of sharp operation
of some of our good Union merchants and
bankers. Gold commands a premium of
only Is per cent. in New York At the
East Legal Tender notes are received at par
in all transactions The smart ones here
managed yesterday to drive Legal Tender
notes down to 20 per cent. discount, so they
bought them up and sent them East, making
per cent. more than they could have done
by shipping gold. Had they shipped gold,
it would have cost them per cent.-tbe
premium being l 8 per cent. they would have
realized IA per cent. To send the notes,
only cost tritle-- and the difference in the
New York premium on gold and the San
Francisco discount on notes made 6 per cent.
in favor Of the schemers; hence the small
shipment. Those who sent Treasury. notes
yesterday, were enabled to pay q debt of
$50, 900 in New York by an expenditure Of
$4,000 in this city. s. f. Journal 18th.

1t is related that President Lincoln on be
ing asked what he thought was the probable
force of the rebel army, remarked that as
near as he could estimate, it numbered about
taUelue hundred thousand. The gentleman

dent explained, that he had 600, 900 men in
the field, and that in nearly every engage
ment thus far. the enemy had almost invaril
ably been reported in front with two to our
one.
A bad tempered Judge was annoyed by an
old gentleman who had very chronic cough,
and after repeatedly desiring the crer to

coughing, when he met with the reply:
"I'll give your lordship two hundred
pounds to stop it for me-"
