INot.alonp, but lirgdlyi to this canse, must we atiributethe donblmg of the velué of-all farming land throughout the coin- trydnnng the decide’ ending in 1860. The ‘aversge valae of m-ms in each Btate, ad the census of that year shaws, was quite generally er u:cord.\ng to the number of e of railrond in each compared with the area -of:farms; -.:Thus the: great Central States had fourteen miles of railroad to the 100,000 acres of farm land, and ‘that land averaged $37.82 per acre. in: ‘vaiue; the Westarn Btates had ten miles to the 100,000 acres, and flmu' 1and" averaged . $18.11 por acre; _ Bor- Btates -haa four miles to the: 100000 lmn, and their land ‘averaged §15.54 per ncre; the., Southern , States’ had ..but .. two ,miles of railroad to the 100,000 acres, and their lsnd Dhavior hl-l been unearthed in the official investi- | for corn to Buffalo.

During the preceding de- ‘Jow dutles it increasod 103 per cent. - The operation of known forces, had thoro, been 'no ounteracting loss or hindrance, would have in- Eved g atill greater incréase during the decade -.

Investing in raflroads neatly $1,200, 000,000, had the propor- tion of incresde in value been as grest a8 it waR in’ the ‘preceding decade, we should have ruhzed an increase of $3,600,000, 000." Then our investment was roturned threefold by increase of alue. . . Now we get back less than one-third of fim investment. “Ibis tr\m, {ho allowance for the cost of roads= $50,000 ) per mile—is more than the actual cost of’ ‘any. - But it is less, by 33, 000, than the aver- sge cost, equipment included, of all roads of “hich statistics are given in Poor’s Manusl, It is & notorious fact, moreover, that that the: actual cunt ‘of construction is much less than the sum which-must ultimately be p\ud, becaunse tho bonds upon which funds are’ obtained, whether isgtied by corporations, States, counties, or cit- fes, eell at & considerable disconnt, grester, in- doed, than the depreciation of currency, 80 that the sum which must ultimatoly be paid a8 our investment in railrosds may be {mly stated at 50,000 per mile, both bofore and since the de- preciation of currency. If roads recently bmlt have: been largely in rogions where grndlng ia less costly, they have cost far more’ for iron and equipment. Nor can it be objected that the enormous loss which' the- facts reveal has been due to the depression of sgriculture at the South along. Even in the Northorn' States;” where no ravages of war or changes in the sys- tom of lsbor can be held to saccount for any c.heckm the progross of agriculture,” it is the fact that since 1860 to this day the~valuo of farming land has increased barely as much aé wo ‘have actuslly expended in giving it new value by building railrosds. In the. New England States, the value of farms ‘measured in go.ld had decrensed not less than 870,000,000 in 1870, yot “we Baye expendod there about 968,000,000 ‘in. railroad building. - In the Central States (New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Ohio), the’ increase in valuo of farms in 1870 waa $418,000,- 000, but the gxpenditire in constraction of rail- roads was 5275 000,000 by the closo of 1871, with many roads in progress hich aré now finished." ‘In ‘ the' Border Stafes (Delaware, Mary- 1and, _ Kentucky, snd” Missouri), the - value' ot "farm lands was sboub 84,000,000 less in 1870 then in 1800, and yet, bythe closo of 1871, we had sxpendad $140,000,000 in railroads. Infi!aanfichwa the increase in vnlueulh.rmswnaSlWDDO 000, but $91,4 000000 1as been. expended in railronds. Only in the ‘Western States, where 28,000,000 of acres unoc- ‘cupied in 1860 had been. added to the area ‘ot farm land in 1870, worth, at the average price of 1860, over £500,000,000 in gold, has there been any groat gain to counterbalsnce the loss in the Bonth, ‘in the New Eng]and and the. Bnrdar Statos. For tht increase=about. §943,000,000, nccoxdmg tothe valuation of 1870 reduced. m go\d—wn had expended in that section in rdil- road building since 1860 $557,000,000 -by 1870, and $728,000,000 by 1871. . Werejoice that this mgnmcene system of im- provements has been pushed forward, thus np- idly. - In spita of all complainta. on account jof froight charges, the farmers themsolves will rejoics, for the figures prove that; in this section ‘at least, every dollar spent in aild road build@ing has been returned in’ & single de- cade by increase in the value of farms. " The economist, also, wiil rejoice, because itis clear that, but for this vast expenditure in a system of improvements which render our farms more Valuable, the aggregate value of all farms in the United States would have been less in 1870, by many hundred millions, thar it was'in 1860 Thanks in part to subsidies and land-grants from -the General Govérnment, in partto the liberality. of States, counties, and towns, sod in patt to | the foresight and enterprise of capitalists on both sides of the-ocean, agriculture in the Unit- od Btates can show a mflmg ‘margin of increase since 1860, in spite of the iniquitous system- of taxation which has swelled tho cost alike of pro- duction and transportation. . gl AP ; ON BUILDING.: tate Exposition build- ing on the Take Park have st last boan accepted by the Committee, and the work ‘of excavating of tho numeroris citizens who have taken stock in tho ‘entérprise, bas produced & plan which contemplates & stractare, mainly of iron snd glasi, 800 teot frGrt; reschinf from Adums to Jackson stieet, and 200 éot 1n- depth, fo- cost 250,000, Thi materit of whick 4 to bo cos- Eloted, and its arches; domes, and towars, wi make 5t gn - orm Orystal Sac0 - of which everycitizen sy bo Proud Theylans aud spocifications indicate that the Expuijion Luilding will be euperigr, in | point Tutotbanty; e <1 besuty, dlmensxonu, mfl adaptabili ra, Whll:h hmva:r:;peon’ar:: urpses, to any otkor these éatuires constitiite o ,m;‘;g“n?;“:fi‘?;,‘ff it shiould be made permanent.’ It would be the height otfouy tolay ont so mich muney, and then remove thé building after the arpu*-'.wn of. & -year. - The.permission. fo build, wluch ‘was granmibytha present Couneil, . lnmus the time to one year, bu: there will be nu-dxflculty in obtaining any desired extension of tune from” the next Council, if the experiment proves & snccoss, a the property-holdersixi the neighibor- hood, aud all the citizens generally, arein f“o.r of making it & permanent structure; for the age and adornment of- the ‘city.- New Orlenns and Cincinniti have buildings of this kind.. In the- former city, ths Bxposition building, when not in use'for fairs, is'devotéd to a variety of nsefal purposes, and, being fitted up with steam power, is in constant demand by those, msnphctnnng and dealing in machinery.. Man- -ufacturers in' distant cities are thereby enabled to show their machinery in actusl operation.. ‘I Gincinnati, the Exposition building,. which in reality consists of a ‘group of buildings fitted wveraged but £9.25 per acre ; while in the Pacific States thero was but a single short roed, and farm land: averaged §5.94 per scro. Allowing: £50,000 per mile for the entire cost of building | and eqlflpment, we invested during that dec:da | $1,080,000,000 in railroads, and the increase’ in’ i the value of farms was §3,319,000, 000,—moxo tHan three timés a5 great. ‘Yet, during the last decade, wo. built nwly a,ooo ‘mile§ more'of railroad than in the décade 1850-60, and expended more money by nearly 100,000,000, but the entire increase in the value ‘of faFmd’wae only §346,000,000. Of coursé, for_ ocomparison” ‘with® 1860, tho "’ valuation for’ 1870 s reduced to . gold. Considering pnly . -the epbancement in value of land within - seven ~ miles- on either &ide of roads thus built, we have oyer 206,000,000 scres,—more than Kalf the entire ares now’ em- brwed vmhm all tm inthe Unmd Shus. : up for mausical, 'artistic, -and mechanical pur- poses, was originally erected by the Germans of that city for the purpose of a Smngerfest. When that purpose was accomplished, the city, forsee- ing. its value, purchased it, and has kept it in order ever since. Tt has served for fairs, con- ventions, large political gatherings, horti- cultaral exhibitions, and musical festi- vels. But - for the existonce of this building, in fact, it is'doubtfal whether the recent successfal - musical - festival in that city would have boen' he'd ntsil. ~The demand forsuch a building has slways been felt inkthis city, and that want will constantly grow more pressing in the fature, as the city’ increases in population, and develops its com- mercial, artistic, and scientific resources. From its central position, and its accessibility by rail- :road from'every part of the country, it must fre- It | quently, in' the future, be the rsndezwns qx enomoufl.y mdmtthmwnntnwbehmuxht cotton and shiogles, th:own qyex our which _have been t religious, political, aud esthetic conve tions: As the gnnnryarthsxoflhwut, and the distributor for ' the East of cereals and’ live ntock, the - farmers must al- ways * look to ‘Chicago . a8 the " point where they- - can - moat xeldlly and easily. &6me in Gontact withithe world, and lhey will need such & building for exhibition pur- poses.:” The samo 1s true from the horticultural, mlnanloglcnl, and mannfacturing points of that Mr. Thomas will organize & grand- festival | here, similar to that recéntly held in Cincinnati, " and sw.:h & building will be the first step accom- ‘plished towards indncing him to'come here. That a Crystal Palace isadapted for musio has already been” shown' by ‘ the successful concerts given in the Lon- don Crystal Palace for several yoars. The great political gatherings, religions convon- | finns, and anniversary .meetings will- also find theirway there. ‘In fact, the knowlodge'that Chicago has & building of this - kind will attract numerous assemblages here of-an_important clm-accnr, which would not otherwise .come here at all, for Iack of conveniencos. Buch & building would not only be an ornament {0 the city snd have an xmpom.nt bearing upon local business, but it would also pay a fair rate of interest on the investment to those whose cnnmhnh n have mads it possible. b P THE “*BAR” AT NEW ORLEANS.. + At the St. Louis Conference of members of Congreu, Gen. Bussey, of New Orlem, pre- | gented himself to nvite the assemblage, on ita return ‘from " Galveston, to visit, the Crescent’ City, and in his speech he said: - -'Weare here not to ssk you to do s An-flhmuzt,but to demand our rights, Weare here to ask that you #hall rémove from the National Government “of the United States that which Is in the éyes of all Earope & disgrace to-dsy, and that is the' imposaibility of i dn Engliih ship o reach ono of ths most {mportsnt rivers “on the face of the globe. , I tell you, gentlemen, if you ‘will sccept the invitation which we 'propose to extend to . you, . and come ‘to New - Orleans, then you will understand why it 1s that the farmers af. Tlinots, Iows, snd Missouri are impoverished and without money to psy their taxes, I tell you, gen- tlemen, that the thing that alls the City of Now Orleans and the State of Louisiaus to-day 18 because our com- merce is fettered, and because the men that ought to ‘be unloading our s! are to-day without the power of feeding their women and children, And this is e resson why our; warehouses are filled with the products of this great morth country, without tho ability to send them to markot, 2nd we have been compelled to telegraph to 8t. Louis: “Don't send an) ‘more. down; our warehouses are full; we can’t psy our arafts; we can't ship anything.” To-dsy we could 1oad twenty of the largest ehipa that sail the ocean with ‘tho articlo of tobacoo ‘alone, - But there iz no vessel there; we can't tske 1t sway.. Thess are facts that ‘will-spply to sour barréls of pork ana your barrels of flour as well. ~ This gentléman atatod the truth, and nothing more. There is enough cotton and tobacco that faight bo ehipped frof New - Orléans t6 furnish regular freights to uvsnty -five . steamers. One immedistd trouble is,jthat the mouth of the siver is 60 interrupted by bars: that heavily-laden ves- sels can neither enter nor depart. New Orleans thinks thstif the mud were dug out, and sn open channel -maintairied, things would be different. But the great bar “that blocks commerco at all our ports, that deprives us of enough vessels (o pextarm our ocean traffic, is an artificial one, and _-crested by statute. We have laws \mder the operation of which ati English vessel cannot deliver part of s cargo at New York, and “thence reload and procéed to New Orleans to eliver the rest, and take in & cargo of cotfon or corn.. That is regarded 8s a cossting trade, ‘which _can onlybe done by vegaels - owned by ‘American citizens. * Cotton and tobacco, and- com dnd whiest, intended for Europesn sarkats, when they cannot find steamers or vesgels light enough to get over the barat New Orleins, aro shipped by, American’ vessels to New York, and then plsced on English ' vessels, Tho use of American . vessels in ' the. foreign trade happens so. seldom that all commeraial calculations are now made on foreign yessels ex- clusively. Great Britain is building steamers £6r the-American trade, and is building them for a1l the nations of Europé.to be employed in carrying goods to-sod from the United' States. Here in the Untted Btates the Government "has, . by narrow-minded legislation, crushed “out sb.\p— ‘buildicg: "' Here in the United States we lmva an. unlimited .amount. of iron of nqmw.hty s0 well adapted to ship-building that vessels can be con- structed of “one-fourth less weight of meul and of greater ‘carrying capacity than can be gone with British iron. We have the skilled labor, the cosl in inexhaustiblo supply, and might at? this time be the foremost producer of iron s!ups in the world; . but.

This mtntcry torference with commerce, . this legalized ob- struction to freedom of commercial interference, this enforced exclusion of our own people from this immense commerce,” are of greater magni- tude, and require even more immédiate and di- rect reliol than does the deposit of mud in tho channel at the mouth of the igsippt River. | A 8 ———n The political article of the last number of the Aflantic Monihly reviews briefly the ‘history of the Civil-Servicé Reform, presents-the ' present complications in the situation, and endesvors to fix the status of Gen. Grant in reference to the wholo question.. In doing. this, it very Justly takes the gl‘mmd that the reform of the Civil Bervice does not mean simply an enforcement of. cortain rules of examination, an abandon- ment of the doctrine of rotation, and the ap- plication of the principle of promotion. Ita purposeis rather fo introduce the virtnes of subordinatian, of obedience, of . faithful- ness in the discharge of duty, and-of re- spect ~for law. It sizives fo/ pub down the extravagance, selfishness, and corrup- tion in the various administrative aeputmenu of Government. Itis upon this basis that Gen. Grn-nt'l sincerity must be examined. If therp .were simply moppoammto the u.mhng rules ‘on the part of the Presidert, foundedon & be- lief that they were not calculated to pmmole the spirit of the reform, his course in conflic ith the rules that have heen adopted, and indisre- gard of the wishes of the late CIVI]—SGMM Com- missioners, might be justified. The point which the Atlantic Monthly makes is, that Gen. Grant refuses to conform to the real spirit, of the movement, and ignores its ultimate objoct. ThB Aflantio article says : . Gen. Grasit, however, has mover given tho'.publlo siny eason 1o bellevo that he s pomsessod by this ppirit, whillo hio has given a thousand reasons for be- lieving that bo is not, Jtis true thaty: {f we go-back 10 the opening of his first Administration, we find him amnomncing bis dstermination o tarn the cold shoul- der to the politicians, and makebis sppointments with- out regard to any other claims than- those of fitnesa. w. bave mo doubt that be . was sincere in his professions; for he &id nominate &' CGsb- net, selected with s ‘view to what e’ ocon- ddexedfltnnn,md!n dninzmded.uedm\lponthu politiciatis, as ho had promised. * But it proved.a ‘bloodless congict, Hegrew very tired of . (it. Hewss fond of popularity and esse, nd in s few months & truce was declared. From that time to thishe hasnot | troubled himself about he matter. He.bas allowed’ 4 the machine ™ to be worked by the old crew for thait own profit; quite content himself if they will work it withont pestering him with questions for which he ‘has by naturs and education no disposition to deal. The lesding idea of all this is, that Gon.. Grent might be a reformer if things were running that ‘wuy, and it wero made easy for him by bis as- .socistes, This is a rather charitable yiew to take of Gen. Grant's ‘personal xupom?finhty for thefailure of Civil-Sarvice Reform under his Ad- ‘ministration after his repeated dechntwn that bo should conmbuba to its success, ‘The view is Dot sustained by the fact that Gon. Grant has, upon iore than one oceasion, persisted in fore- ing -his . policy upon the .comniry-in di- Toct opposition to the wishes of his politi- cal rrlandx aud pemmd supporters. Two ingtances of ‘this disposition are cited in the same article, in which the failure of Civil-Ser- vice Reform is attributed to his indifference and love of repose. These are his obstinate course in reference to_ San Domingo and his retention of Casey, his brother-in-law, as Collector at New Orleans. Both these -ingtances—and * to theso might be added many others—show that Gen. ; Grant knows how to be firm when ‘he o . pleases, and - that he does not permit the opposition of those about him to interfere with’ his plahs. It is worthy_ of mote, however, that Gen.Grant hss mot shown his personal frmness in the direction of reforming the Civil Sarvice, bat in opposition to it: He has retained Casey in violation of & condemnation of the man by his own party in Congress. He also retained Murphy in New York until Murphy shrewdly devised the scheme of running the New York Custom-House under another man's_name, and thus relieved Gen: Grant of the annoyance of sustaining his obnoxious friend opanly. It is certain, as tho Atlantic concludes, thst Gen. Grant is not reformer, but it is. mot 80 certain that he fails to be this me.\y becausohe lvold.a a conflict and loves his esse. 5 b THE BURNING OF COLUMEBIA. | . The .results of the Treaty of Washington, 60 far, have all been in favor of the American side of the controversy, and there has been little sympathy in this country with the continuous de- nunciation of the compact thatis still kept up in "the’ British -Parlisment. If, however, tho British- American . Mixed Claims Commission, now in :uslon* shall decide thatthe American ‘Gov ent {s liable for. the Joss of cotton and : |- other... prupurty bo\onging to' British . subjects | which , was® destroyed in the South during the ‘War, we may b able to understand the English ‘oppoeition to the treaty, as the American 'Gov- ernment will thenhave to pny ‘back about one-hdl i ‘of the dsmages’ that.wore awarded on scconnt of the Alabama dopredations. . This Gommission :has mcsnfly been taking evidence to determine wkauzer the' Ciky of Columbis, Som.h thnn, ‘was burned by. the United Butes f.reops or-notf. The testimony- presented to them must have been somewhat amburnssmg. On theone hand, :Gen, - Bherman ‘swears positively * that ' thie town, indludiag .the large amount of cobd contained, was burned by the Confedmtes, and homsuahmedbylnnmbet of the nmwru who were acting under him at the. time. On {Hs othier hand, Wade Hampton, who Wssin com- mand of the Confederates, swears jnzb a8 posmve'ly ‘that ' the town~ was ‘burned by the Federal tmops, and, ‘ha .is sustiined by the- officors Who « adted - under “him. In s’ cago “of conflicting tastimnny, wharc ' thio number of witnesses on esch sido i equally lu-go and thelr ‘convictions “equally confidunfi the Commission will probsbly find itselt !onaly ‘puzzled and but hl:t!a ufimtcd by the rnlnn of -evidence. . - e * In estimating the value ol the ev:dence on both sides, the Commission will probably take into consideration that Gen. Sherman’s troops Dad been well schooled in the way-of ing +with like articles produced elsewhero. This is. what hmnw! our.commerce. "As this gentle— man am Naw Orleans said, What i is the’ use of sending dovm . pork, -corn, and whest to that city, when there ‘are no vessels_to carry @hgm .away 2 We complain largely of the cost ‘of internal transportation; but ocearn 'fnns- port-non is | in . foll ' sympsthy .. the internal trade. There are not vessels snnugh ‘engaged in the foreign trade to do the busidess,, and our Government has enscted substantislly that o vessels for that trade shall be built in the United States ; and, if built abroad, shall not be ‘owned in'this country; that the materials of which railways and sll other means of intérnal transportstion are constructed shall be taxed towns, and that this policy had been regularly ndnpted. Evenin a cu!e, tharefore. where no orders had been given for destruction; it will be entirely reasonsble to assume thst the force! of ‘habit might have beemsso strong smong excited |-, - soldiers as to’ induce' them to proceed without positive orders.” A dozen, or half s hundred, or & hondred soldiers, who would apply the torch in such a case, would not be a large number out of a whole army that had boen sccustomed to ‘this sort of work. - Yet half & hundred or even & dozen soldiers wonld have been sble to cause the entire conflagration, with the high wind one mass of cotton and shingles set fira toa ‘wood-shed, and; there-being-soidiers: closazby, I.had-the fire pub out.” Thers. is little doubt that the prevnihng wind asaisted the wxflhgnhon, but -the .quedtion is whether it was set: "going .by the Fmianl- h-nopa or by the Rebels balom their' rettui. A mixed commission of British and Américans will not be apt to' give any more weight to evidence coming from a Northern General than.thst which comes from & Southern Ganml, 2l oth things being equal; and the practices of Sher- man's army, authorized from hudqnmm in other Southern cities, burned and destroyed in the ocourse ‘of their.march, will undonbtedly weigh down thé seale sgunn the Amarlun Qfly- emnment. On the othar ‘hand, tha testimony ot Wnds Hnmptan and the Confederate officers who warl with him, will lose much of its lamafmmum fact that they were not on the spot. The Rebel forces had made s hasty retreat, and it may have ‘been that the stragglers, or the’ citizens of the place, hed et fire to the cotton, intendibg to keep it qut of the hands of the Uidon troops, withont estimating the dangut tothe town of ‘Columbla. In this case, Wade Hampton and the leading officers in ‘command. would pxnbn'hly have been unaware of the- facta.” The news of the burning of. Columbis would ,have “come o them Iike the 'news of . the destruction of other towns, and would have been assumed to be the work of % Sherman’s bummers.” Am. impression of this kind would be so general, thus’ trans- mitted thronghont the Bouth, that, at this dis- tance from the event itgelf, Wade Hampton .na up in the interest of Col, C: him to an igno o “Dies “this storm blow over ? —The Republicans of. tlie™.Fiftcenth Circuit (Clark, Coles, Douglas, Edgar, and Vermillion) ‘have nominated Judgn James Sleele, of J!Amwn_ for re-slection. - 7 ° —In'the Twenty-first Circuit, Ethelbert Callne han (Rephblican) bhaving ‘announced himself s candidate for Judge, James C.

This is one of the prominent circumstances t!nt will act in favor of the American side of the case in summing up the evidence. _ Gen. Sherman's evidence leaves no danbt that there were positive orders given not to destroy Columbia, and that,. finding the cotton in the streets and some of the houees on fire when he himself arrived on the spot, he gave orders that his troops shonld help in the work of pun.lng “out the flames. How hard his soldiers worked st this cannot be ascertained with any certainty, ‘but the fact remains that the fire was ot extin~ gnished. - Gen. Sherman takes to himself nopar- tioular - credit for mot having burned Co- Tumbis. He simply says that he 'had made, uphmmmd not to do ik Ixhahnd made up his mind the other way, he declares that he *would have burnt it with nio more fnl- ing than he would a common prairie-dog village.” Tn'one place he sdmits that it would not sarprise him if, some’of his soldiers had aided in spread- ing the flames; and this sdmission, along with the .habits of burnisg and destroying that had Deeri’ encouraged under official orders, will tend ‘{0 strengthen Wado Himpton's poaition, that tho town was fired after all his troops had sbsn- donedit.
