Development.


A writer in the Boston Post says, propheticaly,
that the United States are entering upon q career
rf nrospority unexamplcd in their own, if not IN
the worlds history. The agricultural regeners'
ton and development Of the South, with its cot
ton. sugar. rice. tobacco and corn, many times
multiplisd by skilful labor, machinery and dis
seminated capital; and the working Of the gold,
silver and quicksilver mines. discovered In the far
West. through a. generous hOR of Eastern CAPT
tai, labor and skill will rival each other In CON
tributin0 10 the national rlebes. Emigrants will
flow in from Europe as never before; money will
come with them, the skill energy and capital ae-
cumulsted BY the war will be turned to sgrieul-
tute, manufactures and mining; and the nation
will move onward with rapid strides towards
destiny Of wealth and power such as history las
never yet chronicled. The new life has already
commenced. The steamers for California go
crowded; the overland stages never before have
had such patronage as now; the emigrant trains
making up for the summer trip across the plains
are Of unexampled promise; and more significant
still. though less obtrusiye, machinery and eapi'
tai are flowing into the mining regions, as IN no
previous year. A vast amount Of profit cannot
fail TO he returned from TIE intelligent exercise
OF machinery and capital in developing the eouh'
try's mineral resources. From thee 70 four hun
drrd mills are already in operation at the silver
mines OF Nevada. TIE Pacific newspapers are
continually calling on the capitalists OF the At
lautic cities TO furnish the mines with the neces-
sary aid Cor their development.

Immigration.

Foreign journals continue 70 speak Of the in
creasing tide oil emigration setting towards the
shores of the United States. The chief seaPorts,
Of England, Germany, Sweden and other coun'
tries are crowded with people, eagerly in quest OF
passage. The great mass are said 10 be farmers
and artisans, the class most needed, especially IN
the South. The Albany Evening Journal eX-
presses the opinion that a large number OF these
immigrants, when they have reached the United
States, will fluid their way South. II adds " The
extinction of slavery and the substitution OF a
system OF Free Labor will open promising field
for enterprise and industry in the cotton and SUI
rar.crowing States. Land will be cheap; wages
will be high; the demand for intelligent white
laboiers aud mechanics will be imperious. The
negro element will gradually gray.tate southwark
toward the tropics. II will not be long before
they will cease to be the Prepondersting lsbOring
class in Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee. The
lands that are now worked by them are destined
TO become the property Of white farmers, and
whoever lives to see twenty years hence will wit
ness the virtual disappearance both Of the great
planters and the blacks from the northern section
Of what were recently the slaveholdinS States.-
And in this work Of peaceful revolution the emf
grant from Europe is TO play an important part. v

The MATRINoSIAL Market is dull and growing
duller There ouy nine marriage licenses issued
this month by the assistant clerk Of the Richmond
Hastings Court, Mr.. Andrew jenkins. Several rea-
may be assigned for this falling of in the number
of candidates for the copnubial state. One Is the
$50 clause In the eOnscaton section OF the Amnes-
~ Proclamation. Another drawback arises from the
fact that both parties TO the marriage are required to
take the oath of allegiance before license eau be Is
sued This oath the ladies won't take !: they can help
It, not when the question Of marriage or single
hlessednoss IL the issue They will die old maids inst
So there now.
There has been gradual falling OF in the number OF
marriage LICENSES issued since the evacuation
Because OF the ladies' objection to the oath, nany
matches have been made up here and the parties to
them have gone NOrthward or Southwark to have the
beau- knot tied.
