which have reached us that we feel justified In

AnSrer.-A man who has S23,OO0 is too well
off to need any advice from us. We may say
generally that any man or woman OF average
sense who is worth that amount can buy
good farm of 100 TO 200 acres almost any
where for $1,000 to $4,000, stock it amply buy
the needed tools and seeds, hire q good farmer

tainty of doing well from the outset, and better
and better year by year thereafter He must
be very poor stick who can't make his way
anywhere with q start of S2J,000.
But there is very large class now hanging
on in cities and villages who could sell out so
as to take from $4,000 to $1,000 each into the
country. What can young or middle-aged
man do at farming on such capitali
Let us suppose man to have $4,000 and
family of four to six persons where shall he
choose rural homeq and what shall he do

The proper answer depends on his tastes

location on or near q railroad will do; but
water transportation is decidedly preferable.
Long Island, New-Jersey Especially its south
em half, Delaware, Maryland, and even Lower
Virginia, afford excellent locations. There is
very fair wooded or worn-out land to be bought
for S25 per acre or less but land that sells for
5000 per acre Is often decidedly cheaper. And,
whatever your capital may be, do MT bury
more than half of 1t in the earth. Better begin

| We have not heard much of bummers since
| Sherman marched through the South But the
| hummer still lives, and preserves his one great
| quality which always distinguished him-the
! scent of plunder. The hummer of tho war
| took it from the enemy. The hummer of peace
evies on society. Wherever there resides
supply of fat things, or the potentiaty of pro-
curing them, whether in vault or treasury.
thither rides the hummer We know the pic
| turo of the hummer of the war. Mounted
astride his long cared and bony mule, garnished
with the implements of the bummers profess
sion-bags and ropes, carbines and revolvers;
| with his rags fluttering in the wind, his pock-
ots agape, his unwashed yisage eager, fierce,
and desperate-the minds eye sees him pursu-
| ing his vocation. He was an honest creature.
He WAS patriotically engaged in the business
of foraging for an army that must be sup
ported If he was accused of acting from
selfish considerations, he could prove that
every gold watch and silver spoon he had
about him, no found in swamps, "not within
." two miles of any house" The hummer liked
his profession, and did not want the war
closed. Yet the strife ended. The hummer
remains and, like the poor, he Is likely to DO
always with U.S. He has lately turned infla-
ZIONIST. Having cleared the Southern swampe
of their gold and silver, he has nosed out the
capacities and usefulness Of the paper money
mill which lies unused in the vaults Of the
Treasury Give the hummer this, and he will
supply the financial wants of the country
now, as he supplied the needs of the army of
old. Beside the quantity, the hummer will
guarantee the quality of his supplies. He will
work from the same printing press, use the
same paper and the same ink, aad present the
same engravings of Hamilton. and Chase. and
Fesscnden. and Spinner, with which the coun-
try il 50 familiar.
But we beg 10 be delivered from the services
Of the financial hummer. We can get on with
out him. Our finances do not need his aid.
We know he il patriotic and honest IA the cir
cumstanccs admit of. But there are financial
swanps lying all around the Treasury into
which he will wrndcr. In helping himself, he
will forget the country. We hold that the war
being closed. the hummer should discharge
himself and be of before he is hanged. The
gates Of Uncle Sans paper mill are shut
down. and we do not want them hoisted
by the bummers who arc so used tn
making the toll larger than the grist. Let
tho financial bummers, then. cease their
longings TO enter this swamp Of riches, and
forego their Ehopcs of fat pickings there. Let
each individual hummer sell his mule and go 10
work, and the country will look out for itself.
Let them all quit and go home and leave
things to be managed in the old-fashioDed way
when we had no bummers.

will work is yet to be seen but it appears to
us TO have within itself the elements of failure

The Senate seems to be almost as reckless as
the House in its disregard Of the decencies OF
debate. Twice or thrice last session, it tOler-
ated offenses which should have subjected one
or two members to summary discipline. Yester-
day Mr.. Fessenden was permitted to violate
etiquette and good manners without rebuke
from the presiding officer. We may suppose
Mr.. Wade feels not quite ut home i'll his seat
and was taken ny surprise. Mr.. Fcssendon
however, will receive more effective rebuke
from the country than could have been
administered by tho President of the Senate.
When he comes to sec his angry
words in type, he will be sure to regret
them, for Mr. Fcssenden, though apt
to speak quickly, understands perfectly what
should, and what should not be said on the floor
of the Senate. He knows that to say to one OF
his colleagues, "You cannot dignity it with the
"name of argument, but you were beginning to
"talk, nevertheless" is not parliamentary
Beside, Mr. Fossenden can say sharp thing, if
he has mind and this is not sharp-t Is
merely abusive.
New-York tribune., 1867-03-13

The Senate has voted million of dollars to
relieve the destitute and suffering people of the
South; but it is a misapprehensOn to suppose
that this sum will be sufficient. The Commits
sioner of the Freedmen's Bureau estimated that
half million more at least would be required.
This sum must be supplied chiefly from the
North, and we hope that an intelligent and pa
triotic charity, never appealed to in vain, will
now come largely to the aid Of the Southern
Relief Fund A letter from its Secretary, printed
in another column, states the necessity still ex
isting for further contributions. The House
yesterday refused to go into Committee of the
Whole to dispose of the Southern Relief bill
referred to it. We take it for granted this
does not indicate opposition TO the measure of
relief

The insurgents have defeated the troops sent
against them and invaded the Province of San

most of them affording fresh illustrations of the

axiom that
"Fools rush in where angels fear TO troad"
and there have been scores of inventions for
pulvcrizing Peat mixing with it other suitable
substances, and pressing it into tho requisite
compactness and tho most advantageous forms
tho value Of all which will be tested during
tho current year. We hear of Peat companies
at work from Maine as far southwark as the
Dismal Swamp, and presume they will be diff
fused through most Of our States before the
close of 1868. Vague reports are in circulation
of admirable results from the use of Peat and
patent fuels manufactured therefrom in the
production of Iron and Steel. whereof we shall
doubtless hear further in due time.
They who say that Peat can never compete
with Coal overlook the fact that Peat is far
the moro widely and more generally diffused,
and that each mile of transportation affords
argument for preferring the nearer product.
IL Peat may compete on equal terms with
Coal when the latter has to be sought at
greater distance by 100 miles, then, at 200
miles disparity, the difference in favor OF the
Peat Is at least equal to 81 per tun. In other
words tho Peat will there be worth 81 per
tun above the cost of its production. But we
intended simply to call attention to a subject
which promises to attract q very general In
