by the many blessings which we already
possess? In fact are we not becoming
like the owner of the fabulous goose that
laid golden eggs? Let each of our read
ers ask himself if he knows any one of
his acquaintance who is cOntented. and
satisfied with his pecuniary condition and
whether he is not ready if any strong as
surance of hcpe can be given to abandon
home, friends, parents, and every associa-
ton and to stray off to the Rocky Noun
tains or California, or idaho, or Salt Lake,
or any other part of the world for the pur-
pose, as it is said, of beneftting his con-
dition?
Yet if such could only be brought to
knowledge and appreciation of cow few the
real wants of mankind are, and how much
more unhappiness is caused in this world
by imaginary than actual deprivations,
they would perhaps be better contented to
stay at home and till the soil, or to pursue
the honest avOcations to which they have
been reared, than to abandon themselves
to the deceptive visions of empty gain, and
like EsAU, sell their birthright to happiness
for the pOttage and dross of lucre.

The National Finances.

The Washington Chronicle contains an
inter sting article upon the finances of the
country, and principally so from its array
of facts 1t states the total of receipts
from taxes in the fiscal year ending June
~ IooL, III. Sol $50, I20
From loans and Treasury notes 529' G92' $50
1881 1928. 1873
The proportion of taxes to loans wa,
less than one to ten
The fiscal statement for 1863 is as fol-
lows:
Receipts from taxes. ..........$ Sill 500, 776
loans. ..... ...... 776 6S2, 361
The revenue from. loans was about one
eighth of the whole amount.
The estimate for the current year is
$749, 731 ,96O, and of this amount it is ex-
pected to raise $156, 239,456 by taxes.
After comparing the British finances with
our own from 1892 to 1916, the Chronicle
remarks:
The reader will observe that in each of the
years above reported, except 1877, the British
government raised more revenue from taxa
ton than from loans. &C., and that, taking all
the years together, the revenue from taxes ex
ceeds the amount of loans and axchequer bills
in the proportion of nearly three to one. The
contrast of this policy to our own is most
striking; and when it is remembered that
Great Britain failed to keep her credit up
while raising three-fourths of her annual ex-
penditure by courageously taxing her people,
now can we expect to maintain ours while we
resort to loans for eight or nine-tenths of our
expenditure?

From New York.

New York, March There is very
general complaint in business circles of the
extreme backwardness of the spring trade.
The general expectation all along has been,
that we should see brisker February and
March than had been known for years;
but February is gone, and we are already
pretty well into March, but some how or
other those gentlemen from the country
don't come along. One of the heaviest
dry goods dealers in Broadway told me,
this morning, that he did not sell dol
lars worth out of the city all last week.
The same complaint of dizziness is heard
in the counting-rooms Of the hardware
men, the grocers and the druggists: The
auction houses and tie jobbers are in bet
ter luck, but even they say the spring
trade thus far is "no great shakes" All
hands, however, expect to have more to
do when steamboat navigation to Albany
is resumed.

ers, who have been charged with peculiar
friendship for slavery, are weakening the
enmity Of our radical friends towards that
institution, by declaring it defunct. and
thereby inducing them to calm their ha-
tired of it, and suspend their blows, which.
if continued, may lead to its utter extinc-
ton. We say to the Press, "be not de-
ceived." Your forte is to belabOr slavery,
and you must not allow the charms of old
"copperaeads " to unnerve your limbs, or
distract your attention to other objects.
Central Railway COmpaDy---St. Paul
Branch.
We learn that Mr. PATRICK NASH has
secured the contract for grading so much
OF the st. Paul branch of this road as lies
between the city and the crossing of the
Mississippi above the city The whole
work on the main road and the branch is
advertised to be let on the 9Th CT May.
We print. from the Milwaukee Sentinel of
the 18th, for public information, the adver-
tisement for proposals:
Sealed Proposals will be received at tie Of
flee OF the Minnesota Central Railway Com
pany, in Minneapolis, Minnesota until the 9Th
day OF May, 1861, at II o'clock, noon for the
grading, masonry and bridging on the branch
line OF said road from Mendoza to St. Paul
This work comprises large amount of sand
rock excavation, and the masonry aud super
structure OF bridge across the, Missisai ppi
river.
Notice is hereby given that on or about the
same date, the work of completing the grad
ing, masonry and bridging on the main line of
said road, from Faribault to the Iowa State
line, (5O fifty-seven miles, will be contracted
for.
The work upon the branch line is of a very
heavy character and is worthy the attention of
responsible contractors
Paymentswil be made monthly In cash and
plds received for the work in small or large
quantities the companies reserving the right
10 reject any bids not satisfactory as to price
or as to the responsibility of the parties making
the same.

The Minnesota Valley Railroad Conn

At meeting of the Minnesota Valley
Railroad Company, held this week, the
following officers were elected:
President HORACE THOMPSON.
Vice President-JoH J PORTER
Ireaswer-D. W. INGERsoLI. r.
Secresa'y-ALEx. JOHNSTON.
An Executive Committee was appointed,
consisting of Messrs HORACE THOMPSON.
d. W 1NGERsoLL, JOHN L. MERRIAM, ISAAC
LINCOLN, E. B. AMEs and E. W. CUTTER.
We learn that the Company is organized
on solid basis, and embraces many of the
most responsible citizens of the State. The
Directors will proceed at once 10 the work
of enlisting capital in aid of their enter
prise, and have sanguine hopes of being
able to put portion of the road under
contract the coming season.
This road is already graded to within a
few miles of Belle PLANE, with substantial
bridges and culverts, as we know from
personal observation, and we are assured
by one of our most competent engineers
that it can be made ready for the track
that distance at an expense Of less than
twenty thousand dollars.
The land grant of this company is con-
sidered by competent judges the best in
the State. The lands have been selected
and filed on, and when the road is com
p'eted to Shakopee the company will have
clear title to 24O sections, or nearly
10000 acres of landau amount amply
sufficient not only to stock the road for
that distance, but to complete it much
farther
There can be no question that the legiti-
mate business of the road will pay divi-
dend over running expenses. The line is
up the Minnesota Valley, through the rich
est and most thickly settled portions of the
State, Astounding in all the elements OF
material wealth, and only requiring trans
portation facilities to make it populous
and wealthy beyond our most sanguine
conceptions

Home Happiness aud True Wealth

If we contemplate the character and
condition of any prosperous and happy
people on the globe with one exception, we
shall find the trait of attachment for home
life and home associations to predominant
over almost all other of their national pc
euliarities. 1t is this feature that lends
such an irresistible charm to the inimitable
portrayal of life among the upper classes
in England as set forth in IRvING's Brace.
bridge Hall. The same is equally true of
what constitutes the beautiful and impress,
sive in BURNS Cotter's Saturday night !:
and if we tnrn to any of the more delight
full of the thousands of truthful sketches of
French and German interior domestic life
we shall still find that the universal tenor
of the charm of them all is that spirit of
harmonious concord and contentment that
is attended by the love of " Home, Sweet
Home''
The exception we in the outset alluded
to, is the people of our own country.
Americans, as general thing, are pros
porous, but not happy. Our everyday
experience the highest to the lowest
authority-from WASHINGTON IRVING down
to P. T. BARNUM-all bear testimony that
prosperity produces, in this country, more
unhappiness than absolute poverty seems
to entail in other lands.
The fact is, that in our anxiety to pros
per, and through our exertiOns for pecu-
mary success, We destroy or neglect the
faculties of enjoying the fruits of that for
which we have striven. The poetry and
sentiment of American life is fast evapo-
rating in the rush and zeal for gain. Our
lives are becoming but one long, weary
pilgrimage to the glittering shrines Of
golden gods. Like the wandering tribes Of
Tartary and Arabia, we rest at No sacred
spot that we call home, but with sort Of
vagabond, nomadic cupidity, we strasgle
over a continent from the Atlantic to the
Pacific Ocean.
Now does not all Of this come from a
neglect to cultivate and make cheerful and
hallow with contentment our own domestic
firesides and homes2 Are we not con.
stantly seeing and lamenting over wants
rather than rallying to our aid the hope
and contentment which should be inspired

Is slavery Dead.

The Press wants the PIONEER to say
that slavery is dead. Our regard for truth
will not permit us to make such an asser-
ton. The events of the war have
"scotchd the snake, not killed it," We
see too many evidences of vigorous life in
the monster to credit the assurance of the
Press, even when sustained by such high
authority as the New York Herald, that
it is really dead. We have grave suspic.
ions that the Hon. Mr.. Brooks, and 9TH
