body be quickened with « new and keener life, From the Ural Mountains to the Atlantic, and from Iceland to the Golden Horn, she will teel the thrill through ali her channels and ex- tremities. Did our limits permit to-day we might furnish abundant comparative statistics of men and products to illustrate the outlines ef the new future that we have faintly sketched. Enough, however, is suggested to the mind that thinks it sees ia the ambitions of men, the rivalry of nations, even in the very chastisements of empires, arising frem the blind mole’s work which we are wont to call Statecraft and diplomacy, national develop- ment and military glery, only the all-control- ling hand moving toward a traascendant design ‘und a supreme consunmuation, the secret of which is more and more revealed as we strive more and more to draw near aud comprehend the ways of over-ruling Providence. Enlarge the Area of Our | Suburbs. To enlarge the area of the suburbs of the metropolis is a matter of more than mere local interest. Everything which adds to the extent and advantages of New York becomes a subject of national import. Everybody knows how cabined and confined we are on Manhat- tan Island ;' how brown atone and marble and brick have locked us up in a rough embrace, and that we are going te be squeezed tighter and tighter every year, until there is not a garden spot left around the city to supply the gricultural wants of our vast population. We print in another column a communication upon this subject, suggested by an article in the Herap recently, to the effect that fresh vegetables are imported from Europe by steamer at a lower price than our market gardeners can furnish them in Washington and other city markets. We believe that this is an undeniable fact. This question of vegetable raising may be small thing. The subject of cabbages, for example, may be valgar. But then, for all that, we want cabbage. A population of a million of people require a plentiful and cheap supply of vegetable diet; they require also pure milk, produced from cows fed on sweet pastures and not in distilleries. Now it is evident that the area of cultivatable land around the city is wholly incompetent to pro- duce the quantity of vegetables necessary for consumption. Hence tons of stale and un- wholesome vegetables are daily thrown into eur markets which have been transported, probably, a hundred miles. The effeet of this kind of food upon the consumers thereof can be easily imagined, and can be demonstrated by the records of the Board of Health in the catalogue of gastric complaints, diarrhea, dysentery and other diseases of that type. The remedy for this does not seem so diffi- eult. The thousands ef acres of marsh land lying all round the city, on Staten Island, Long Island and Jersey, can be utilized by draining or dyking, and converted into excel- lent arable land, capable of raising all the gar- den crops the tity will require for a quarter of acentury, It has been established by chemi- cat analysis, as well as by the experience of two years on the Jersey meadows, that the salt marsh, when drained, makes the best soil in the world for vegetables and other agricul- tural productions. We have, as we said, thousands of acres of these worthless and ma- larious lands hemming in the eity and its en- virons, producing nothing but intermittent fevers, a very unpleasaat crop, and returning no taxes te the public treasury. Hereis a chance, then, for capital to multiply itself by undertaking to reclaim them. Ter instance, we find, according to the United States Coast Survey, that there are five thousand eight hundred and twenty-six acres of tjdal amarsh on the northwest side of Staten Island, running from Factoryville, on the “Kills,” to Rossville, with a water front ef seven anda half miles—actually, we migat say, on New York harbor. Why cannot this tract be dyked off from the tidal flow and transfermed into good arable land, and converted to other useful purposes—say, for example, good roads connecting the two points of the island, which are much needed in that directien? Ou Long Island also, in the viciniiy of Flushing and other points, thousands of pestilential acres await the application of skill and capital to redeem them. There would seem to be vast wealth underlying these everflowed lands—richer, indeed, than the pearl diver finds in the ocean bad. At all events, it would be @ great public work, an incalculable benefit to the whole community, if this great area of nuisance, as we may call it, were con- verted into 4 useful and profitable addition to ‘the suburbs of the metropolis. We are sar- prised that the thing bas not been done long before this, the necessity fer it is se apparent. DecrEAsE OF AMERICAN TONNAGE. —-One of the most important subjects for consider: tion during the approaching session of Co gress is the decline of American tonnage. N. branch of our industry needs more carefal attention than our shipping interests; nore other suffered so severely during the war of the rebellion, and even the remarkable pros- perity which has prevailed throughout the country since the return of peace has failed to restore to American commerce that strength and vigor which existed in ante bellum time! ‘The Report of the Register of the -Treasury shows that from 1821 to 1861 America sold abroad only 671,371 tons ef shipping; while during tho four years ef the war 764,652 tons were sold to foreigners and about 150,000 tons were captured and destroyed by the Alabama, Florida and other Confederate cruisers, mak- ing an aggregate loss to American commerce of 914,652 tons of shipping. During the fiscal year emding June 30, 1870, only 17,080 tens ‘were sold abroad, the principal part of which consisted of vessels condemned in fereign perts ‘as unseaworthy. With such an exhibit It is no longer a surprige that American commerce Janguishes and that our carrying trade is rapidly passing into other hands. Tae Merper oy Vaucaan.—The mystery connected with the death of an alleged river thief and rowdy, in Mott street, on Sunday night, has a good deal ef light thrown upon it by the fact that the parties who were wit- nesses ef the scene have absconded. The dying statement of the deceased that he was shet by the accidental explosion ef a pistol in his own pecket leses all its claim to veracity by the flight of the man Dobbs, charged with the murder, and the witaesses to the transae- fdom, If the death was the remit ef accident NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1870. ~-TRIPLE SHEET, why should not the parti A 8 present appoar to testify to that fact?

We ‘trust to the activity of the police to arrest all the parties engaged in the affair, When they have secured them, as no doubt they will, the mystery of this man’s death may be solved. Row and [rreligion. A paper was read by the Rov. J. Willett, Superintendent of the Inebriates’ Home for Kings county, at the conference of physicians and managers of inebriate asylums held hist week at the rooms of the Young Men’s Chris- tian Association of New York. The subject was “The Relation ef the Church to the Drunkard.” The ground taken by the rev- erend gentleman was that a large proportion of our young men and women who are in- ebriates to-day first began to drink because their religious training had been neglected, and there was no fear of God before their eyes from their youth up. Ie also mentioned as a lamentable fact that there is a growing and widening alienation among our toiling citizens, and especially the rising generation, from everything which bears the name of religion, There is undoubtedly a groat deal of truth in this statement, but how shall a remedy be applied? Here is a question that should come home to the hearts of all those philanthro- pists who make so much pretension about moral reform and matters of that kind. We believe a great step toward the re- formation of the rising generation, and many of the risen generation likewise, would be attained if a general system of free libraries and institutions of a similar character, where amusement and instruction could be harmoniously combined, should be adopted throughont the city, if not throughout the land. Such institutions might be sup- ported by private contributions, and a great deal ef money now squandered upon the in- adequately remunerated ficld ef Christian labor in heathen countries saved and made to perform good service among our own unedu- cated and wandering heathen. Many of the public buildings—-even the City Hall and other similar edifices—mighi be devoted to the humanizing project we foreshadow. The experiment is worth trying, at any rate. Give the toiling classes amusemeot and opportunities of intellectual culture, aud ram and irreligion would assuredly in time be banished from our maldat.
