BEEcHER on FISK. Henry Ward Beech

in the following graphic passage -
And that supreme mountebank of for
tune-it is the astounding event Of tn $ age,
that a man with some smartness in bust
ness, but absolutely without moral sense.
and as absolutely devoid of shame as the
desert of Sahara is o grass that that man,
with one leap, should have vaulted to the
very summit of lower in New York, and
for seven to ten years should have held the
courts in his hands, and the Legislature |;
and this Erie line, the most consummate
interest of the land and laughed at Eng
land, and laughed at New York. and
matched himself against the financial skill
of whole city, and outwitted the whole,
and rode out to this hour in magnificent
and glaring prosperity; that this great
criminal, abominable In his lusts, and fla
grant in his violation of public decency ;
that this man should have been the supre-
NEST there and In an instant, by the hand

him to the ground!

THE CoNNECrICUT TOBACCO CRoP.-The
tobacco crop Of last year in the Connect
cut valley has been most remarkable one.
The raisers have discovered that stable ma
nure is the best fertilizer. The result is
that this article has been in demand, and,
instead of being sold, as it used to be, for
fifty cents load, it now brings ten and
twelve dollars a cord. 1t is brought in
large quantities from out Of the State. The
prices obtained have been enormous. One
purchase was made last week of three
cases of East Hartford leafat tifly-tive cents.
Three acres of Newington were bought at
81. One purchase was made last week of
a case and a half of East Hartford 80 at
sixty cents. One man has just sold the
product of seven and half acres for over
$4,000. Hartford county alone raised a.

GARRISON AND WHITTIER.--No two re-
formers Of the present century have labored
more harmoniouslv together, or cherished
4 moro devoted affection for each otherthan
William Lloyd Garrison and John G. Whit
tier. 1t is now moro than forty years since
they first met. One was then editing
weekly paper in his native town of New
buryport, and the other was at work on his
fathers farm in East IIaverhill and was
unknown beyond the limits of that obscure
village. One morning Mr.. Garrison picked
up from the floor of his Office entry pocti-
cal eiusion, written on coarse paper and
with blue ink. Thinking, at first sight,
that it was a common doggerol, he was
about to consgn it to his waste basket, but
on reading it, he found it to he poetry of
more than ordinary merit. II was pub
lished in the FREQ Press and was followed
by other pieces of still greater merit. AnN-
ious TO know the author OF these anony-
nous contributions, Mr.. Garrison made
inquiries OF the post-rider, who Informed
him that every week lie left parcel of pa
pers with a boy at a farmhouse in East
Haverhill. Mr.. Garrison at once rode to
this secluded locality, which has since ne
come so well known to the readers OF
"Suow Bound" where he Iound the youth
ful poet, n bashful hoy, at work with his
father, who, though man of excellent
sense, and possessed of degree of ntelli-
gonce which made him n sort of oracle
among his neighbors, was decidedly utli-
tartan in his views, and was anything but
pleased with the literary tastes Of his son.
Mr.. Garrison earnestly entrcaled him TO
place no restraints upon the pootical tend
encics of the glled boy who stood before
him, little dreaming that he was destined
to be an efficient co-aborer in the reform
to which he was about consecraling the best
years of his life, and that the poet would
liWto celebrate in immortal verse the
downfall of American slavery. Common

time. But death interviewed and instead
of glad and happy re. union with his wife

his birth, the sad tidings Of
his unexpected death will fall, with terri
BILE weight, upon their shocked hearts.
During the short time Mr.. Smyth sojourn-

HARD THINGS SAD OF HIM TAKEN pAcl..
10 the last issue of the Mound City
journal, we find the following articlr in
reference TO Gen. Burnside and his course
in connection with the Cairo & Vincennes
railroad. After the suspension of work on
the line of the road, people began to
suspicion that Gen. Burnside could not or
would not, build the road and ali sorts of
| damaging stories, circulated TO do him
injury, both in the capacity of private
corporation. The general has vindcated
himself, however, and the people are
beginning to learn that he is a man Of
honor us well as of ability. The following
are the Journals remarks on Gen. Burn
side:
During considerable period of time az
ter suspension of work on the & ,iro II
| Vincrnnes railroad many were disposed TO
suspicion the motives or doubt the conpe-
tency OF Gen. Burnside. Some thong ht he
had sold out the enterprise to rival cor
| poratiuns, in shape To prevent the com.
| pletion Of the road. Others concluded he
had greatly overreached himself by en-
desvoring TO perform what he was not
competent, pecuniarily and otherwise, to
do, and thus had inflicted great loss if not
utter ruin upon many who had reposed
confidence in him.
| And there were circumstances that in
a measure gave reason for suspicion. All
are happy to know, however, that they
were without foundation, and That the

upon it in connection with thee Il V. r. X
lis character now shines in the purity OF
honest intention and action.
We are led to these remarks by letter
recently received from "A Boston gentle
man, who held a large amount of the old
Ills. Southern X. X. bonds, and who
thought Burnside was endeavoring to
wrong him out of them, but who finally, in
common with many Others, has discovered
his Il istake. and is anxious to counteract
the effect of what he may have hitherto
said derogatory to the business character
of the General, as far as possible. We ex.
tract from the letter as follows:

that an employee of Morgan's Office at
