TILroN has been looking in Now York by
gas-light, and dares not tell what he saw
He says of what he did
In company with several well-known pub
lie mon, and under the guidance of the po-
lice, we mado tour last Saturday night,
through the netherlnost haunts of misery,
vice and crime in the City Of New York
This is an exploration which cvery man con.
nected with public, atTuirs, either by civil or
by editorial duty, oughtif possible, to mako
at least once ein his life. Born in New York,
and having always either resided or ,labored
81 thin It, we never saw or knew our own city
until last: Saturday night. Never until then
had we any adequate conception of its power
ty, Of its squalidness, of its vilainy, of it's
dcbauchery, of its lcprosy! The sight can
never be forgotten! Tho story, even if we
had the heart TO tell it., must for decenoy's
sake, remain untold. We can only say that
none of the familiar descriptions had adequate:
ly prepared us for the actual scenes. We
were shocked, confoundcd, sickened And
as we now look back upon the awful revela-
tion of that one nights descent into hell we
can hardly persuade ourselves that what we
saw was a reality; it seems a hidcous dream.
And yet, with all these horrors right under
his proboscis,4 this phianthropist has spent
the better portion Of his life in bcwaiing the
moral condition of the poor negroes Of the

SOUTHERN WHEAT IN New YoRK.-New
wheat from Georgia has made its appearance
on the Now York Corn Exchange. The ripe
ming of the harvest will advance Northward
at the rate of twelve miles day. In the
tide-watcr regions of Virginia, the harvest
will commence by the 18th Instant. New
Southern wheat and flour will soon be in mar
ket. The Norfolk Day Booh remarks that !:
Cotton, tobacco and sugar, therefore, bid
fair to become secondary considerations in
comparison with the grain crops. We are in
formed that wheat, which is shown to be of
superior quality to that raissd at the North.
can be cultivated in comparatively short sea
son and with few laborers. We notice that
Southern -four always commands the highest
price in the Northern cities, and its produc
ton is unlimited in all the Southern country
II. the large plantations were divided into smal
farms, emigration would eventually supply the
want of negro labor, and the usual crops would
probably then be made to pay. But the qucs.
ton at present is, how to make the most and
the best of the labor now on the ground and
this will be answered by devoting the best
lands in the South to crops that can be easily
raised, and which now are in the largest de-
mand."
