The New Town Of JuleSburg.

From the LeaUenrorth (Kaasas) Times.
The new town of Julesburg is another
instance of the way things are rushed out
West. The Omaha Herald describes it
as having every trade and occupation re-
presented. Has got one Hundred and
twenty whisky shops, several grambling
hells, and few other dens Of voice Its
population is about three thousand
The principle amusements are getting
tight, fighting and occasionally shooting
each other down for pastime Money is
very plentiful, and the evils of which il
is the root spring up in its path.
Thee great national question debated
there, is, Where is Julesburg? Is it in
the State of Nebraska? the Territory of
Wyoming ? the Territory of Dakota or
is it in Colorado
For the past few days, the first of its
existence, the city was ruled by an er-
tempore VigltanteS, who amused them
selves by the exercise of the cowhide, hal
ter and revolver
At a recent meeting of the citizens it
was agreed to form civic government,
and to adopt the charter, laws and ordi-
nances of. Omaha. They have elected a
Mayor aud Council The Mayor is only
a five days resident of the place, and
none of the Council have been there over
ten days.
Rents are enormously high One man
pays one hundred dollars day for tent
for a gambling and billiard hall with one
table. Another rents part shed, part
canvas structure, fer one thousand dollars
a week.

The Cornucopia of 1857.


The following, from the St Lonis Demo
crat, will be read by our commercial
friends with more than ordinary interest
1t is subject worthy of serious reflection
to be read attentively and pondered over
with more than ordinary care =
The country laughs with an abundant
harvest Throughout the greater part of
Illinois, this State and Kansas, the crop
already partly harvested has been very
large the promise of the crop not yet
gathered in, not only in these States but
to the northward, is very bright, and from
the South and East all reports concur in
representing the yield as exceedingly
abundant. Famine is no longer feared.
Spectators in grain count their losses,
and consumers already rejoice in fall of
prices. The country is richer already, and
! feels it. Some estimate that the crop of
1867 alone would more than half pay the
national debt
1t is not merely in the actual increase
of wealth that this bountiful harvest will
do good. 1t will make life easier for all
laborers and consumers. To the poorer
classes especially the abundance of provi-
sions, bringing low prices, will be pecu-
liarly grateful But this is not all. Ag-
riculture is the basis of all our prosper
ity. When that fails, everything stag
mates. The blood in all the veins and ar
teries of business flows feebly. With a
bountiful harvest, it bounds gladly through
the pulses, fresh, vigorous and full of
life, the strength returns, and activity be-
comes necessity.
up waiting for this harvest Business of
all kinds have waited enterprise of the
utmost importance has been checked
financial depression has prevailed Mr.
McCulloch has looked gloomy, gloomy
and the receipts from internal revenue
have fallen off nearly forty per cent
Everybody was sailing under close canvas
expecting squall. Tie storm cloud has
I passed. The Wall street barometer, with
rising stocks, predicted fair weather The
sky is clear again, aud every one feels
that business must now revive. Conf
dence, the parent of prosperity, returns.
The farmer receives handsome sum, and
puts no small part Of it into circulation
at once. The money starts machinery
that had stood idle revives trade that
had been dormant.
The crop, once harvested, must be
moved and manufactured the great army
of people engaged in transporting from
producer to consumer, or in preparing the
food for consumption, already anticipate
brisk business. Prices fall, and profits
now become possible in many branches
of business that have stagnated because
of the cost of living. So the magic infiu
ence extends through all the arteries and
viens of trade and commerce, just as the
sunny glow ofthe rich wine dances through
the blood, even to the tips of the fingers
until every part of the body feels the
genial stimulus. And we only hope that
the country, intsead of bending its new
energies to the work of increased produc-
ton, may not rush wildly into specula-
ton

Agricultural Fair.

At meeting of the Directors of the
Monroe County Agricultural Society, held
at Marsh's Hotel, on Tuesday last, the
proper committees were appointed to make
arrangements for the coming Annual
Fair. The Fair will commence on Tues.
day, the 1st of October, and continue four
days. 1t would be we'll if our farmer,
and othors would begin to arrange now to
make the Fair a grand improvement over
all preceding Fairs. 1t can easily be
done if our farmers will only resolve to
be represented by specimens Of their ag-
ricultural skill.

WHAT relief the adjournment OF
Congress has proved to the Democracy
all over the country. While it was in
session they were terribly exercised lest
it should pass some law at which they
could not cavil-some law which would
do more for the rebels and the rebellion
and less for the mass of the people and
the restoration of the country. In view
OF the fact that Congress did its whole
duty they breath more freely now, and,
in the ecstacy of their JOY, throw up their
hats and say all sorts of things in its cen
sure. Rump Congress" and " Jacobin
Crew." are about the mildest terms which
they can employ when speaking of it, and
lying and villifying are the only weapons
they can bring to bear against its work
Even in their estimation it was the great
est and most patriotic body of men that has
assembled since the memorable Fifty-six at
Philadelphia, in 1776, promulgated the po-
litical death warrant of Great Britain. in
these United States. The Supplemental
Reconstruction Act will prove equally fa.
tai to the tyranny which the machiayeliau
Democracy, by means of rebellion. and
the aid extended to rebels, have at.
tempted to fasten upon US. Well let
them howl.

The Rebuilding of Portland.

A late letter from Portland to the E0ea.
ing Post says:
\ year and few days ago, some three
hundred and twenty acres of buildings
in the beautiful city of Portland were
destroyed by fire. Fifteen hundred build
lngs were burned to the ground, and fifty
eight streets and eight miles of thorough
fare became vast field of calcined brick
and ashes ten thousand persons were left
homeless; ten millions of property dis,
sipated in the flames. The energies of a
prosperous city were, for the moment,
Frustrated and paralyzed. Yet little
more than twelve months afterwards a
grand resurrection has occurred. All
over the burnt district there have risen
miles of new and beautiful buildings
The City Hall has taken on more elegant
forms banking institutions have taken
refuge in substantial buildings of granite
and free stone and the thousand articles
of trade are displayed in storehouses
which are better than ever before adapted
to the needs of commerce. Along some
of the streets there are temporary wooden
buildings, which remind one of some of
the cities on the frontier, which rise in
the night from the prairie but these
will soon be replaced by permanent aud
more costly structures.
What splendid triumph of human
skill, energy and perseverance is this
There is something very grand in this
tenacity of purpose, this unconquerable
resolution, this triumph over disaster. 1t
is symbol of American enterprise. 1t
is more than that it is a striking exhi-
bition of Yankee pluck. Merchants of
the city tell me that in three years they
will not onl ly make good to the taxable
property the ten millions they lost on that
night of sadness, but they will add large
ly to their wealth, and in every way they
are setting themselves to that work.
