Mutual Profi,s of Trade.

There is a farmer in Illinois, who by rea-
son OF the low price at which his land was
bought can afford to raise wheat for fifty
cents bushel, Notwithstanding the high
wages OF labor in this country.
lie requires for his family fifty yards Of
cloth. lie could make the cleth, if he
turned his attention TO that business. But
tho quantity he wants would cost him
hundred dollars per acre and allowing a
reasonable ront for land. he cannot raise
wheat for less than a dollar bushel, at
which rate his -four will cost hundred
dollars.
Suppose, now, that these two persons
can effect an even exchange. The farmer
has got what is to him hundred dollars
worth of cloth in return for his wheat,
which stands him in fifty dollaIs. Each
Que is fifty dollars better of than no would
have been without trade. Each one by
thus simplifying his pursuits, is able TO
make his proper business more productive ,
aud thus their common prosperity advan-
o,s in an increasing ratio. BY legitimate
trade, If free, all parties are enriched.

The Famlne In south cnrollna.

Mr.. w. GIi.NoRE sINSs writes from Md
way South Carolinas
As Ear as ! can see, there IA no posaiblp
escape from general famine, in which all
will suffer, many perish. In a precinct Of
fifty miles in this district. there ia not more
than one planter in fifty who has corn
enough to last him a single month not
more than one in two hundred who has
enough for two mouths none that have
any that can last three month";; and Of these
there is hardly more than FIVE in the handred
who will be able to supply themselves with
provisions OF any sort, unless by borrowing
money on mortgage. not only Of the grow
ing crop, but Of the lande, and at such
rate Of interest that no crop they can make
can POSSIBLY save them from ruin. A great
many will almost or quite starve, unloss
they can get help from some other re-
sources than their own Briefly, the fam
inc which threatens the land is all over the
land, aud no one region can help the other.
The mules and horses, especially when
owned by the negroes, and upon which the
hope for next years crop must greatly. de.
pend are dying of work without food. They
literally drop down in the harness, and
much the same sort Of picture may be
drawn OF the humans, white and black.
Life is prolonged selely by spasmodic Of.
forts and all sorts of expedonts, day by
day, the parties not regarding any sacri-
flee which will yield the means of daily
subsistence to their families. Unless the
charities OF the outer world are more prompt
aud more bountiful, | do not see what ia
to avert the fate of thousands to whom the
peck or bushel Of corn, which sulliCos for
week, must simply prolong the agony Of =
death by hlrhes.

INDEPENDENCE OF THE PRESS.

INDEPENDENCE OF TIE PRESS'
In thee following extract from the New
York Tribune, concerning political parties
aud the newspaper press, we find but little
romance or poetry, but u deal of forcible
truth, aptly expressed
In small country towns the county news.
paper is expected to be the echo aud organ
of the party which it supports, and OF tue
men whom that party selects for lis re 5l c.
sentatives IN office. And the field of their
influence and income is 30 restricted that
compliance with these requirements be-
comes necessary 10 their existence.
IN the larger cities also a good deal of
this temper and spirit still remains. The
fact that newspaper advocates the prn-
ciples and measures oi political party is
held to give the leaders of that party a
right to dictate its aclion, and to punish any
recusanco on its part with the party dis
pleasure. Leading Journals too often lend
themselves to this unworthy and degrading
policy
II il perfectly natur. ! that politicians and
men in Office snoud seek thus TO degrade
the Press by making it wholly subseI Went
to their interests and wishes. No Govern.
ment ever existed, probably, in any country,
which believed in free, independent
Press And the men in power under onr
Republican Government, certainly, hold
such Press IN quite as much disiavor aud
dislike as do tho members of any Govern
ment in Europe Unless they can hold it
directly and wholly subservicut to their
purposes and views, they treat it with dis
trust if not with positive hostility.
In this country the newspaper Press has
made, within the last ten years, very rapii
strides toward Independence of political
parties and OF men III power lts tendency
has been toward broader views, aud, of
course. toward broader field of influence
and support. Instead of echoiug the opin.
ions Of party, it has opinions Of its own.
Instead Of addressing the adherents OF one
party, it addresses the public at large. II
no longer feels bound to support and de-
fend whatever men of its own party may
do or say; aud TO den0unce aud assail what
ever may be said or dsne by lis opponents.
1t praises or bames without regard 10 the
party bearing of the questions involved,
and according TO it's own convictions OF
what Justice aud the public good require,
This wlh continue to be more aud more the
case, as journalism becomes stronger ia the
character, ability and intelligence OF the
men who conduct il. 1t has made more
rapid advances within the last twenty years,
in this country, than any other profession

From the San Francisco Bulletin
AN ARCTIC VISION.

Where the short-legged Esquimaux
Waddle in the ice and snow,
Aud the playful polar bear
Nips the hunter unaware;
Where by day they track the ermiue
Aud by night another vermin-
Segment of the frigid zone,
Where the temperature alone
Warns on st. Elias's cone;
Polar dock, where Nature slips
From the ways her icy ships;
Land Of fox and deer and sable,
Shore end Of our Western cable
Let the news that flying goes
Thrill through all your Arctic foes,
And reverberate the boast
From the cliffs of Bcechey's coast,
Till the tidiGgs, circling round
Every bay of Norton Sound,
Throw the vocal tide-wave back
To the isles of Kodiac.
Let the stately polar bears,
Waltz around the pole in pairs,
And the walrus in his glcc
Bare his tusk Of ivory;
While the bold sea unicorn
Calmly takes an extra horn;
All We polar skies, reveal your
Very rarcst of parhclia;
Trip It all ye Merry Dancers,
In the airiest Of lancers;
Slide, we solemn glaciers, slide,
One inch further to the tide,
Nor in wild precipitation
Upset TyndalPs calculation.
Know you not what fate awaits voup
Or to whom the future mates you
All We icebergs make salaam--
You belong to Uncle Sam
On the spot where Eugene Sue
Led his wrctched Wandering jew,
Stands a form whose future strike
Russ and EsquimauX alike.
He it is whom Skalds Of old
In their Runic rhymes foretold;
Lean of flank and lank of jaw,
See the real Northern Thor
See the awful Yankee leering
just across the Straits Of Behring.
On the drifted snow, too plain,
Sinks his fresh tobacco stain
just beside the deep indcn-
Tation of his Number 10.
Leaning on his icy hammer,
Stands the hero of this drama,
And above the wild ducks clamor,
In his own peculiar grammar,
With its lingual disguises,
Lo! the Arctic prologue rises
"Wanl | reckon faint so bad,
Seem ez twas all they bad;
True the springs are falner lateJ
And early Falls predominate;
But the ice crops pretty sure,
And the air is kinder pure
'Tain't so very mean a trade,
When the land is all surveyed.
There's a right smart chance for fur chase,
All along this recent purchase,
Aud unless the stories fail,
Every fish from cod to whale;
Rocks, too mebbe quartz; let's see
'TwOuld be strange if there should be
Seems I've heard such stories told;
Eh ?-why, bless us-ycs, it's gold !"
While the blows are falling thick,
From his California pick,
You may recognize the Thor
OF the vision that | saw
Freed from legendary glamour,
See the real magiciau's hammer.
