The Michigan Legislature is con-
sidering the subject of preserving the
splendid forests Of that State. They
supply SO many lumber markets that
vast tracts are being stripped, and
scientific men are of opinion that eli
mate changes are thereby induced,
crops arc deteriorating, the winters
are more severe, fertilizing rains are
diminishing, and all these are be-
lieved to be partly caused by the
denudation of the forests. European
experience confirms the idea that the
destruction of forests tends to sterili-
ty. The proposed remedy is to ex-
empt forests from taxation, and en-
deavor SO to legislate as to remove
the necessity for large uses of timber
in future.

with him Mt the time, was also NOR

MONEY IN New YoRK.-A cotem-

MONEY IN NEW 1ORh.-a Coteiu-
porary says any amount OF money
needed for speculative purposes can
be had in New York at rate of inte-
rest much lower than has prevailed
for SOME time. OF course, there is a
scarcity of money in the South,
but the reason for that is, we have
had unusually short crops, and con-
sequently nothing except cotton to
sell, which would cause flow of
money in this direction, and the
greater portion realized from that
source has been expended in the
purchase of breadstuffs and provi-
sions. Should we be blessed with
good crops this year, the South will
recuperate wonderfully. The wheat
promises we'll, and in tho course of
three months the farmers will be
sending their surplus to market.
The proceeds from this source will
furnish very great relief. The ease
which is already apparent in New
York will extend Southwark rs soon
as orr crops are ready for the mar
ket.

effect that wliile the recent floods in

Forsnking their Country.

LIZ NeW OIleanS L tCuyuHe, VI ~
recent date, says that over 800 people
sailed from that port on the steamer
Marmion, bound for Brazil. They
were mostly from Louisiana and
neighboring States, and leave the
country voluntary exiles forever. The
Picayune furthermore understands
that other vessels are to follow the
Marmion, with the samo destination,
and that it is probable they will go
out full of emigrants. The Picayune
accounts for the melancholy state of
affairs by saying that the feeling of
discomfort, of anxiety, of desponden-
cy, runs higher in that section than
ever-higher even than Immediately
after the close of the war;
AS we have, on more than one occa-
sion, said in this journal. that while
these discontented Southerners have
a right to seek happier land-if
they can find it--.and to cast their
lots anywhere they may choose, yet
we cannot but think that they are
wrong, and that few years expo
rience will teach them that they had
better have borne the evils of the pre-
sent than to embrace others perhaps
worse. They go into exile in far
distant land, where they will find
everything conflicting with their pre-
vious ideas, habits and customs. A
more sorrowful emigration is not re-
corded in history, and, Of course, must
touch the hearts and feelings of all.
And Notwithstanding all this, it is
still wrong wrong in principle, and
evincing q want of manhood and
moral courage. If ever there was q
time when the South needed the
strength, affection and clinging devo-
tion of her sons, it is the present.
Stricken by the fortunes of war,
bowed down und II the privation and
suffering arising from disasters of
almost every kind, the sunny land of
the South appeals silently but ear
nestly to those who have stood by
her in her sorcst trials, to stand by
her still, and not strip her Of her
sons, who, by all the ties of ma
ternity, long association, devotion to
her ancient pride and glory, which
she justly felt and claimed for Lcr
long line Of heroes and statesmen,
should never abandon her; but rather,
with endurance and fortitude, cling
the closer to her and her fortunes,
whatever they may be. It is little
short of moral cowariicc, that men,
who did all that men could 10 to
brave an adverse fate, for years past,
should now retreat from the equally
patriotic duty OF restoring their sec
ton to its former prosperity and
political equality. 1t may be touch
ing to see ship-loads of voluntary
exiles leaving these shores; but they
cannot command our admiration, rs
do those who remain behind, to en-
gage, under all the disadvantages
they may have 10 contend with, in
the great work of the South's recu-
peration, reconstruction, and final
and complete restoration.
