facts point like ndices 10 an immense expan-
zion and augmentation of our already gigan-
tic commerce. The restless migrating instinct
a power and intensity never before Witnessed.
The close of the war has given IL a iresh and
gigantic impstus, and the tide of emigration TO
the embryo cOmmonwealths amon& the Rocky
Mountains, is Overlapping vast intervals OF
space in its grand march. From the Missouri
river these great States and Territories, with
their already large and constantly increasing
population. must draw their supplies and until
railroads reach them, this commerce must neces-
sarily be carried on, as now,lby means of OK or
mule-wagons. GrowlngNs the West grows, and
developing as the vast regions OF gold are de-
veloped, the scope and magnitude of the COM
merce Of the Plains, alreadylcoosssl, will surely
continue to expand and extend until 1t becomes
as boundless as the marvellous country which
1t supplies with all the essentials of life.

cess OF the struggle for IRISH Independence.
Scores of the best officers Of the Army of the
Potomac were now in Ireland, ready to lead
&c., 900 of as brave soldiers as ever shouldered a
musket. He referred 10 the condition Of the

falling of in private freighIing 1t was not till
1864 that the business resumed its wonted
activity, and exhibited again that greatness
which must soon render the commerce of the
Plains the most wonderful development OF the
West. The past year presents most striking
example of this astonishing growth. 1t is seven
times larger than that OF 1858; five times larger
than that OF 1850; nearly three times as large as
that of lS60 four times greater than that of 1868;
and exceeds the trade OF 1864 by 1898, i40pounds.
THE PICTURE.
1t is estimated by the most competent judges
that the ireighting business during the year 1856
will be at least as large again as during the past
season. The rapid increase OF our Western
States and Territories in population and wealth;
the wonderful development OF the mineral re-
sources OF those vast regions; tine fact that for

they abound, not producing one,-ah thes-
