little if any in advance of the cost of the
buildings upon them. The smaller far
mers are rapidly being driven into other
business, or the far west; while their farms
are bought at mere nominal prices, by the
more wealthy landlord who attaches them
TO his already unwieldly. estate. This
process can be endured by the "well 10 do
farmer" better than by any other class.
Every such change reduces the number Of
producers and the amount of agricultural
productions. TO this cause more than any
other, can be attributed the present scare

The Independent farmers are the only
class who are gamers by this process Of
depletion, while Their interests suffer in
every respect except in that of mere PEE
cuniary gain By this process the mer-
chant loses his customers, the lawyer his
clients, the doctor his patients, the minis.
ter his salary and audience, the teacher
his pupils, and the money lender the class
that now employs his capital, While at
the same time there will be correspon.
ding advance in the price Of all the nee,
essaries of life which the farmer produces.
The same principle holds true when APPS
piled to any business where capital is en-
ployed. The profits Of the capitals
cannot far exceed the profits Of the bust
ness in which that capital is invested with
out injury to both. That money is more
abundant, and that prices have advanced
in consequence, is no evidence that the
rate of interest should be advanced also.
but rather the reverse. If the amount of
money in circulation should be doubled,
its purchasing power would be decreased
by half. Or, in other words, prices would
advance in the same ratio, Two hundred
dollars would only be worth for the pur-
poses of busine IS the same as one now,
and could be obtained as easily. Then
why increase the rates for the use of it
No, gentleman. BE content with an hons

capital. Take pleasure in the prosperity
of those who employ it. So shall you
prosper, yourselves be of service to the
community around you, be respected ant

The Freshet

The spring tfresheis are causing great
damage, East, West, North and South.
The trains over the Bennington & Rut-
and Railroad were eiIectually blockaded
by tremendous land slide in the town OF
Dorset; The damage on the Lebanon
Springs Railroad is very extensive, and at
this juncture, when an early opening OF
the road was hoped for, is TO be particular
ly regretted. The track is submerged for
long distance, and good deal of the
iron washed out. besides n tremendous
landslide near Lebanon. -..--....
On the Rutland and Washington Rail-
road, near Salem, the road was washed
out badly delaying trains for a day or
two,
On the line of the Troy and Boston
railroad the track was washed away near
Williamstown and also near North Pownal
Tuesday. The trains ware delayed and
the passengers conveyed in wagons over
twelve miles TO make connections with an
other section Of the road.
Upon the Vermont Central road there
were no trains between Essex Junction
and Mortified. The road is undermined
near Richmond and in several places to
the west of there. They also have several
wash outs on that road on the east side Of
the mountain, A culvert on the Central
Railroad, near Hartland Vt. was washed
away on Monday night, and an express
train ran into the opening. Lyman. the
engineer, Dow, the conductor, and Ryan,
the fireman, received serious injuries. 1t
is feared the fireman will not recover
Several passengers were also injured. The
baggage and passenger coach went on top
of the engine.
A dispatch from Montpelier says
The warm weather and heavy rains of
the last day or two eliminated in the
worst freshet known here for twenty
years. Cellars and basement stores are
filled with water. The streets are over

The bridge over the north branch are

to private is quite heavy.
The Hudson river at Troy was high

twenty-onc feet above low water mark.
Considerable damage has been done.
On the Rutland and Burlington
road considerable damage was done.
Near Bellows Falls was the greatest
difficulty. Trains were block ed several
days, but commenced running
again, on Saturday. Between
this place and Rutland the road vas i'm,

COTTON Raising at the South.

Cotton RAISING at the South.
ANYTHING which relates to this SUBJECTS o
interest to HE manufacturing communities
Of NewEngland. The following, though
mere speculation, seems to be based on
evidence and is the conclusion OF those
who ought TO be well informed on the
subject. We copy from the Boston Jour
nal.
1t is the general expectation that,
in view of the high price OF cotton, the
crop of that staple in the Southern states
will be largely increased this year but the
New Orleans Commercial BulCethiexpresses
n doubt whether there will be any consld-
cradle or even appreciable increase 1t
alleges that there is not sufficient supply OF
agricultural labor, and that the tendency
is to diminution rather than increas
the plantation freedmen hands who have
hitherto been depended On for cotton rais>
ing being averse to the continuous labor
which It Requires, hence are seeking
means of livelihood more copgenial to their
ease.Ioying natures. The Times assumes
that the experience Of the South in this
respect will be similar to that OF Jamaica
and Hayti, where the negroes on obtain
ing their freedom relapsed into habits OF
Incidence and improvidence. As white
labor at the South is tending 10 mechani-
cal and manufacturing rather than agri'
cultural pursuits, this deficiency of the labor
supply cannot be made up from that
source and it is argued that there can
scarcely be considerable increase oil the
cotton crop without the importation o I la"
Dor from abroad, and it must be drawn
from China or India if il is to be had mt
all.
These are the speculations OF the B"ae-
tin. That large planters at the South
have experienced unusual difficulty IN OBJ
tanning laborers this year there is no ques'
ton, but whether it is because the freed
men are unwilling TO work admits ct a
good deal of doubt Ii is quite as likely
that the scarcity is owing to the large and
constantly increasing number OF freedmen
who, having acquired small lots OF land,
prefer TO work for themselves, in raising
crops, and if this be the case, the yield OF
cotton is pretty sure to be increased, AS the
stimulus TO industry is greater where the
laborer gets all the profit of his labor than
where he has to work very much on the
old platation system, with the prospect OF
consuming hi> small wages as fast as he
earns them.

LITERARY NOTICES.

THE Riverside for May has n par
ticularly attractive look on account of its
number Ct short, bright articles, and its
striking pictures. Nineteen different oh

and no one in reading has a chance to
get very tired of any one article. Frona
ting the number is an original and power
full picture of a Giant, accostcd by two
travellers, by John La Fargo, and the
first story explains the picture. 1t is a
relief to find that the two small men es-
capped with their lives. Hans Andersen
has some characteristic Sunshine Stories,
well fitting tho month of May: pretty
picture, by NJ l.. Stone, accompanies it.
Jacob Abbott explains the philosophy of

Tho sculptor Kuntzc describes how Amber
is found in the Baltic. Abby Sage tells
another story from Chaucer, The Hunt

while sandwiched between the different
articles are a number Of pretty poems.
There is something for everybody IN it.

upon the same subject When any great

LUTHER's OPINION OF Music. -"Mu>
SIC" says Martin Luther, sis one of the
fariest and most glorions gifts of God, to
which Satan is bitter enemy, for it re-
moves from the heart the weight Of sor-
rows and the fluctuations of evil thoughts.
Music is kind and gentle sort of disci-
2line; il retines the passions and improves
the understanding. Even the dssonance
of unskillful fiddlers serves to set off tie
charms Of true melody, as white is made
more CONSPICUOUS by the opposition of
