The FRENCH DIPLOMATIC CIRCULAR.
The most important intelligence re-
ceived by the last mail from Europe
is the news of the publication of the
French diplomatic circular to the va
rious ENJOYS, Ministers and other
agents of that country abroad. 1t
is said to have been written by Napo-
leon himself, and refers to the present
condition of Europe, 1t congratulates
the world that peace is restored, and
that hereafter affairs are to be conduct
ed upon the same principles that hold
sway in France. Aggrandized Prus-
STA, it says, seeks the independence of
Germany, and France will not oppose
or regret the accomplishment. Ger
many and Italy, it says, have imita-
ted and drawn nearer to French ideas.
The September Convention, securing
the POnti6cial interests, is to be 10y
ally carried out France will send ma
val forces to secure the freedom of
the Mediterranean and Baltic SEAS
Austria, it also states, now leans on
EIuuNt. ullNl utliOAls elAb hCiC uCf Gil z
mics in the past now enters upon a
new existence, to be guided N the
same principles as herself The Cir
cular says the Emperor was right in
accepting the part Of mediator and
not plunging Europe into longer
war, and appears to take for granted
the not very well established fact that
Napoleon really controlled matters in
the late contest. 1t hints, however,
that the Emperor, in spite of his self
camplacent congratulations, is active
ly preparing for home defence and the
perfection Of the military organiza-
ton of France. The foreign intelli-
genee announces that the circular
meets with general approval; that it
is the impression that Napoleon hsr-
bors no thoughts OF annexation with
regard to Belgium or Switzerland;
but that Prussia and France have
complete understanding, and intend,
if possible, to control Europe.

Agriculture in Colorado.

One of Mr.. BAYARD TAYLoR's late letters to the
Tribune from Colorado gives some remarkable
and interesting facts in regard to the progress
of agriculture in that Territory. There are esti-
mated TO be seventy thousand acres of land
under cultivation in Colorado this season. sutfi-
cient to supply the wants of her own popula-
tion, and to leave a small surplus for exporta-
ton to Montana. Mr.. TAYLOR saw six hundred
acres of wheat in a single body The land is
irrigated, and under this cultivation the average
yield Of wheat is thirty bushels to the acre. In
regard to irrigation, he says that the farmers
already prefer the secure yield which that
method OF farming affords 10 the uncertain
results of a more variable climate. The prnci-
pal item of expense is the construction of the
irT1gating canal, but where many farmers unite
together even that IS materially lessened. Sur
veyor.General PIERCE estimates that there is sut-
ficient water in the Platte river and in Cherry
creek to irrigate four hundred thousand acres
of land.
In one place Mr.. TAYLOR noticed that body
of alkaline land had been brought under cult
vation, and was informed that the application
of manures seemed to correct the alkai, and the
land became very productive.
The great American Desert" Mr.. TAYLOR
thiLks, is myth. He says:-
81 am fast inclning towars the opinion that
there is no American Desert on this side Of the
Rocky Mountains. Belts of arid and sandy soil
there certainly are, put doubt if any Of these
are more than so miles in breadth, while there
are many points where an unbroken line of
habitab territory may be followed from the
Missouri to the base of the mountains. I re-
| member that as late as 1859, the 10 west compu-
tation of the extent OF the Desert was 200 miles
| yet in the Smoky Hill route l saw less than so
! miles TO which the term could properly ba
| applied. What nave since learned OF farming
| unGer these new conditions OF climate and soil
| leads me 70 suspect that time AM settlement
| may subdue even this narrow belt-that there
| may some day he groves and farms the tree
| less plains that wheat NAV usurp the place OF
| buffalo grass, ana potatoes drive out the
| Cactus,n
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1866-08-23

The Kansas Valley line is nearly or quite
ready for operation to Fort Riley, from which
point up 1.-THE Valley OF the Smoky Hill the
process of construction is expected to be
rapid and unchecked. Two hundred miles
more of the road have been ordered to be put
under immediate contract, to be finished by
the 1st Of December, 1867. This new section
will extend from Fort Riley west to a point
on the santa Fe road, only two hundred
miles from Denver City, and four hundred and
fifty miles from Santa Fe.
Thus while political excitements and agita-
tions are convulsing this country, this grand
work OF public industry and enterprise is pro-
crossing apace. While certain classes OF
politicians are prophesying a renewal Of
domestic strife, the people themselves are
forging iron bands to bind the nation more
firmly together than ever.

which we fought may be recognized as exist
ing, and that they may be dealt with as the
Constitution and the laws prescribe. In their
anxiety to restore the Union and bring har-
mony to its councils, they have gone beyond
q mere silent submission TO its laws.
Their platform is not only one Of emphatic
LOYALTY, but It is moreover, most liberal In
spirit on the great issues growing out OF the war;"
We would only say that if, for year past,
the Southern people have abandoned the
Rebellion and shave gone beyond mere
silent submission to the laws" why it is that
within five months past General CUSTER
said that if the troops were withdrawn, and
the State Governments recognized, the lives
of all Union men would be unsafep The
faith he row processes to have in their pro-
fessions looks to us like credulity, and we
cannot but think that their expressed views
fall under the denomination of those
amended sentiments which were held "merely
for selfish purposes" as the General himself
declares was the case with the great majority
of the sentiments professed among the South
ern people.
