By that time the Present Aldermen will be out of office, and as it is doubtful whether any of them will be re- elected they may lose their chance entirely and the spoils will fall into other hands.

The liberality of such men as Peabody and Stewart opens the way to most valuable reforms in the lives and habits of the masses of our working community; but the dis- position of the munificent sums which they are willing to contribute must be made in a prac- tical way in order to. accomplish any perma- nent good. There is no method by which the “condition of the laboring classes can be #0 much ameliorated as by giving them clean, convenient and comfortable homes ; for home 1s the centre of all civilizing influences. The rapidly increasing population of this island calls for more dwellings, especially for the accommodation of the mechanics and labor- ing men who comprise so large an element in the metropolitan community. That there is a great want of this kind of buildings at present is evident from the crowded state of the hundreds of tenements houses in the most populous wards of the city, in which vice, uncleanliness and disease abound, to the detriment of morality and public health. In a ‘few years the city will be entirely too small for the population earning a living within ite precincts, unless buildings of a commodious character, suitable for the use of the laboring ‘classes who are now packed together in un- healthy domicils, be built upon the vacant ground lying on the upper portion of the island. It is most desirable, therefore, that the gene- wrosity of those wealthy men who are willing to contribute a portion of their fortune, for the public benefit should be availed of to furnish ‘the laboring classes with well constructed dwellings at cheap rents.

CORRESPONDENCE OF THE NEW YORK HERALD, Short Orep This Year--The Levees ow the jo Can Be Made te Yield, &. Vicaesura, Migs., Nov. 12, 1866, In aformor letter I attempted to show the cause of the failure of tho cotton crop of this year, and stated my opinion of the number of bales that would be pro- duced, which, I have no reason to believe, was too low an estimate, bat, om the contrary, would reduce my figures below seven hundred thousand bales 1 I were to make any change in them. It 6 a fact that no ene will deny that the report: from all parts of the country show « large falling of \n the Products per acre as compared with the crops raised be- fore the war, and. it 1 equally well known thay the quantity of land plented this year is vory much smailer than in 1860. The cotton belt of the United States is botweon thirty and a half and thirty-four degrees of Intitude, Cotton ia planted north and south of these lines, but the largest products heretofore wero within that limit, The disasters this year have been felt more perbaps in the centre or best cotton region than anywhere ¢iso. For oxample, Madison and Cerroil, Tonsas and Concordia parishes in Louisiana, and Lom. quena, Washington and Bolivar counties in Mississippi, which made in the aggregate in 1860 about four hundred and fifty thousand bales of cotten, will net Produce moro than forty thousand this yeer, and thee figures are true. This falling off is partly owing, how. ever, to the want of levées; but the land that has been actually cultivated and{ree from overflow im many caseo has not produced more than one-tenth of « bale to the acre.
