A CHEERING PROSPECT.

The erection of the mammoth ice factory
~ this point, by Senator Jones, A. T. Stewart
and other small capitalists, will probably
freeze out the Northern and Western ice.
With ice at one-fourth or even one-half cent
per pound, even the very poor can revel in
the hitherto, to them, forbidden luxury. 1t is
quite impossible to estimate the immense
amount of good that will result to this city
from having an unlimited supply OF
cheap ice. Aside from the luxury
il is during the summer months to those who
are in perfect health, it will prove an inesti-
mable blessing to the sick, especially to such
rs are confined in hospitals and to whom in
the past ice has been unattainable by reason
of its cost. The erection of the extensive and
costly ice-works described in this mornings
BULLETIN by such sagacious capitalists as the
gentlemen named above, gives cheering evil
dence that they have entire confidence in the
future of our city, a.confdence which we should
like to see infused into many of our own citi-
xens, who hesitate to make investment, or to
embark in commerce, in manufactures, or in
ANYTHING calculated to build up our city, and
TO make her what she should be, and must
ultimately become, one of the grandest COM
mercisl emporiums of the world.
Bad government has retarded our advance,
the war crushed us for time, the apathy of
our own people-an apathy which was per-
haps natural under the circumstances
m incubus of debt, have all been calculated
to keep New Orleans from taking her true
and natural place among the great cities of
the country; bat, if we mistake not, the re-
action has set in, our people are taking heart
of hope, and with genuine and irrepressible
American instinct are going forward to
achieve brilliant destiny. The impeachment
to commerce which has SO long existed at the
mouth of the river is about to be removed, q
railroad to Texas is certainty in the near
future, we have manufactures Of various
kinds in process of erection, the earth is teem-
ing with the most abundant harvest known
for years. and there is abundant reason to
believe that the control of both national and
State governments is about to pass into the
hands of those who wilt make the good of
the whole people and the restoration Of per-
feet peace their special study. This is The
outlook and it should inspire our people with
confidence and hope.

From Utica.

UTICA, July Is,
1t is indeed remarkable that since the cdi
torial stats of Ottawa have condescendcd to
stop moment in their progress and bestow
a glance upon business at Utica, everything
has decidedly assumed new aspect,
Though our institutions of traffic wear not
the garb Of affluence, they at least exhibit .
clean and tidy appearance, So eXQuisitcly
neat Is the place of Mr.. Peter Cosgroge that II
argues much for his good taste; and what is
yet more admirable in Peter, he does no sell
ing whatever on Sundays.
Mr.. James Clark, who has been the soul
and sinew Of Utica from her infancy, is said
to have this season but three lourtAs of the
usual number of men in his employ.
But few days since the firm OF Clark *
White suspended the work Of tile making for
this season. The buildings which were being
erected during the past month are now about
completed and help not little to alleviate
the remarkable dcformIIy Of the city.
In your last weeks report from Utica was
noticed remark relative to ON, Of the OF
,awa Republican,. Allow it to be suggested
for the qualification of few, that il has been
expressed by such writers as Dennle and Ad
olson that ancient literary men believed &c
MUS trudged about in unbuckled shoes who
dare say, therefore, but in this warm weather
it has chosen to kick them otF and go bare
foot? M" has gone to visit his old home IN
Columbus, Ohio He will also visit Cieve
land before his return, which will be the Goth

Crops in this neighbcrhood look excellent
1t is not rare occurrence to see a farmer
leaning over fence, his face radiant with
smiles of satisfaction, viewing his large field
of tasseled corn.
We were pleased to see the little Belle OF

about the hour of eleven O'Clock, where she

IL is evident from the comparison that the wa

will be remembered, are in reference to Ue total
