JN. A few words on the sutject of the adaptation of the recinn beyond the Mis sissippi and ssouri to many branches of industry not yet generally introduced or practiced may be of soma intercut and I profit just now, when so many people! are thinking of going 1 The State of Missouri, south ol the Confluence of the Mississippi and Mis sour! rivers, and from eighty to onehuu- dred miles west of the ssifsippi, is generally hilly, rouirh, rocky and cover- ed with timbei, much ot it scrubi.y and of no great value. It is in the midst of just such a country that those vast deposits of iron ore, known as Iron Mountain, Pilot Knob, Shcphird Mountain, and others, are situated. In this rouchiegion theie are many pretty and fertile valleys, and both hills and valleys are well adap ted to the culture of the vine and other fruits. West of that comes in the magnificent prairie region which stretches hundreds of miles in every direetlon, westward to the great plains, and northwards to Da kota, and southward to Texas.

There is probably not in in the world another tract of first rate arable land so large and so beautiful. More than half of Missouri issmbracedin this tract, and more than half of Kansas tne western part of the one, and the eastern pari of lie other. Northern and western Missouri, Iowa, and the part ot Nebraska are also In it; so is the Indian territory south of and so is a large part of Texas. All these, with their artificial geo. graphical divisions, comprise one vast and almost unbroken body nf good land, nearly the whole of which is or was prairie, but where all the streams are more or less fringed with timber.

Western Missouri and Kansai are now attracting the most attention, and of them we shall now particularly speak. The face ot the country is much mure undulating than that of Illinois, The soil has more sand in it, but not so much as to detract from its fertility. Kxcept the bottom lands along the rivers and other streams, there is very little land that is quite level in ail that region, neither is there much but what is suftl ciently so to admit of easy tillage. Those long and graceful undulations, often vaiied by more abrupt bluffs and circular and symmetrical mounds, give to the traveller ever-varying landscapes of singular beauty and sometimes grandeur. No land in al! the country produces tlner corn, --nd none is more easily tilled as soon as the prairie sod Is rotted.

It is a common practice to plow the sod early in May, and then, with an axe, or in strument made fur the purpose, make in-ciniooB in the overturn eod, into each ot which three or four grains of corn are dropped and covered by a data nf the There it grows without further cul tiTatlon; fur, owing to the tou.hntss of ho sod, further cn't'vation Is This is called 'sol corn," and from 15 to 40 bnshela per acre. By the next spring, or in the fall ot the same year, that sod is so thoroughly rotted that it pulverises easily, and the plow may he driven as deep as ttie team able to draw it. Thus quiculy and easily is this soil put into the finest tilth. The breaking of the sod, if hired, costs generally four dollars an acre; but any farmer can do it tf he has a breaking plow and a good team. A breaking plow has a sharp roiling cutter which goes in advance of the share, cutting vertically through the sod to the depth that is intended by tbeoper ator to turn it over.

Tue crop of 3jd oorn generally pays all expenses. But there is too much corn grown in that country, and it would add much to Us prosperity were there a greater variety of crops. Wheat does vry well, and the breadth sown is rapidly Increasing. Barley and oats do well, better than in any of the States east of the Missis sippi. But am is so sure a crnr, its cultivation so simple and easy, and so little expense attends the gathering of it, that it is not strange that those new beginners often poor and struggling should push its cultivation almost to the neglect of every other crop.

In Minnesota and Iowa spring wheat is more largely cultivated than winter wheat; but in western Missouri and Kansas the winter varieties are greatly preler-rtd. It is sown early, or to be say, In the first half of September so that a strong covering of the ground may be secured. This keeps the soil from be ing blown from the loots by the strong winds of the winter and early As before remarked, the culture of wheat is rapidly increasing. Hemp is grown to some extent, principally on the very fat bottom lands; but its cultivation might be greatly and profit ably increased, were proper machinery at hand to prepare it for market Works for this express purpose, whrethe plant, either rotted or nnrottcd, could be fur nished by the surrounding iarmrrs, would be very profitable to all concerned. room corn Is another production that might be made very profitable by a siml lar union of agricultural and manurac turing enterprise.

It grows luxuriantly in Kansas, and the hih prajrics produce the best quality. Sorghum is another crop which requires a similar union with manufacturing enterprise. This branch of agricultural industry will never come to much so long ss each farmer must extract the bwett of the plant as best he can. It grows in that country with great vigor. Wool may be crown In that region more cheaply than in any part of the country this side of the Mississippi; for no where else are such paaturrs for sheep, whether enclosed or unenclosed, to be found and the purity ot the aimoa, here Is highly conducive to their health.

Now what folly it is to carry that wool away to Massachusetts to be manufactured, ant then carry it back again 1 here ate some woolen mills in Kansas but the number might be greatly aud advan-tageoubly increased. Cotton, owing to the dry and ever-stirring atmosphere, can never be manufactured to advaalaije in that region. ritiUT. In California, where most other fruits, especially the grape, are bo fine, the apple cannot be grown succetts ully but in Wfcit rn Missouri and Kansas it attains a degree of perfection unknown, proliably, in any other part of the world. This is true of the growth and vior of the tree, the abundance of its yield, and the si.e, beauty and flavor of the fruit.

The time is not far distant when Kansas apples will find their way to almost every part of the country. Peaciies grow te great perfection, both trees and fruit. This fruit, either dried or canned, may, and probably will, become of great commercial value to Kansas. In size and flavor they are unequalled in Delaware or New Jersey. The rich warm soil, the pure air, and the bright skies of that region arc highly favorable to the growth, health and fiavor of the grape.

This is another step in the right direction to ward the general adoption of the specie standard In the financial transactions of the people. i The cithk.ns ot counties ot Iowa announce lhir intention to resist the payment of a special tai, to meetcer tain bonds, "until all legal and practical remedies are exhausted." No conclu sion could be more sensible. All legal and praetical remedies art the Inalienable rights of citizens and of communities, to be always asserted and never denied. A foolish fellow, who advocated, in a Convention of the protesting people, the other day, a forcible resistance lotheexe cution of existing laws and of the plain decisions ol the Courts, in the mat ter of this tax, found himsell standing alone, a wiser conclusion securing the otherwise unanimous vote of the Convention. These counties had issued bonds to csrtain railway com panics, which were subsequently negoti ated Into the hands of bona JUe purchas ers.

A breach of contract was afterwards relied npon by the cilizeus to avoid the resulting tsxation, but was not sustained on appeal to the Hupreme Court of the Vnited Slates, which affirmed the obliga tion, to satisfy both interest and priuci pal, as one covering all the property pub lie and private in the respective counties. To this decision is now to be interposed the passive resistance recommended the Convention. Of course, the result can only be an increase of the burden and the satisfaction of every dollar of its issue. THK SItTK'i HASH A from Thomas Nicholson, of the State Treasury Department, states the balance on hand, November SO, at 48, while SS.S2S 72 of in-terest overdue; 73 ot loans overdue, and 65 of the bonds of next July now called in for payment, make an aggregate sum of present liabil ities, in excess of means at hand, ot $300,291 62. To this must be added the interest payable February 1.

This statement shows the fallacy of certain current talk about an ''unexpended balance" in the Treasury. The cash on hind would not meet the matured olili-Kmttona, if all presented at once. But tuc Treasurer has assumed the risk of beins; able to meet all claims as they may be presented, and with every prospect of success, in view of other revenues yet to come in. lie must be a common scold, and nothing else, who Carps at this situation of affairs. THGSIXZCAXAI.

The success of this great undertaking is not yet sure. We hare accounts of trouble from the drifting in of the sand, whether from the banks or from the adjacent desert is not distinctly stated. Mure- over, the mud brought down by the Nile reaches to tho artificial harbor of Port Bald, and for all time will cause great expense to keep it clear. The struggle of human power and science with the giant forces of nature shows us at once the greatness and littleness of man. Men can and do overcome giant obstacles which lie in their way, provided they are fixed ard unchangeable.

The Mount Cen's Tunnel, for example, Is but a work of engineering skill and patient and persistent toil, which, it persevered in, cannot fail ti be success ful the building of a railway across this continent, and over the lofty mountain ranges that stretch athwart the track, is another work of the same kind. But these obstacles are not arret, as are the drifting mud of the Nile, the sands of the desert, and the snows of the great western mountains of this continent. These are the things that try human power, and among these the line dividing between the possible and impossible is found. There is a vast difference between an ever-active natural force and a formidable natural obstacle. But we think there are no natural forces bearing against the success ot the floes Canal but what can be overcome; and if It can be thoroughly established as a commercial highway at all, it will be a great one.

As a general summary of the commercial movement through it, M. Dc Lksskps estimates the tonnage of Liverpool at 6.000.0UO, Marseille 6,000,. 000, and the trade through the Dardanelles 6,000,000, and claims that the traf Be of the canal will be 6,000,000, afford- ing from the tonnage alone an annual return of 12,000,000. The distance through the Ked Sea from Burt to the Straits of liab el Mandel is about 1,700 miles. This narrow sea, with Ita hoc desert shores, is probably among the most dangerous snd unpleasant aavl gable routes in the world.

Having pass ed the straits, the vessel enters the Gulf of Aden and skirts the southern shore of Arabia for about five hundred miles more before it reaches the broad expanse of the Indian Ocean. This canal, however. If it can be made a safe and eligii route, will greatly shorten the distance from the ports of Europe and America to those of southern and eastern Asia, both continental and Insular.

these men werp comparatively poor, aud tho busy bodies have constituted themselves a committee of the whole to ascer-t in where the money came from. Of course there are all sorts ol rumors and speculations. Some ot them aret absurd demand attention, while others are circumstantial enough, but can hardly be substantiated. nu sa Sehueck has been in the whiskey ring, another that he has speculated on the internal Revenue bills; another, that he is a relative of Pike the whiskey operator and opera house man. I do not vouch for the correctness of any of these stories.

1 merely give you the current rumors with which the air is filled. 1 have noticed, during a considerable experience in Washington, that s-. mehow or other nearly everybody who ha? anything to do with the uovera-ment gets rich. iu matter how poor they are when they come here, a few years find them owners of houses, horses and carriages, with plethoric bank accounts.

I The paucity of pla -t mine, th their i demoralizing alternations ol and success may account tor this.

Of the mining towns, eutral City, with six 'iou ttivl people, is rirM, but its, cramped location, ail rding room tor but one street, must prevent ita growth. 1 Georgetown, in the richest silver region, near the summit of the mount tin's, is growing st. lit re are Un- mines trom which ore worth fiootj jJtr is largely shipped to Newark and other easieru cities, and to Swansea, Wales.

L-tst wetk C.eorget twa was almost half ruined by a gale, which also destroyed much property iu Denver and elspwhere. I 1 will not attempt to individual the minor mining towns, but pass down to th plains, i ru 1 am more at hotm-. Few persons who hve not sjen them haveargut notion ot the western military pogtg, by the universal term "fort." they are iu senee fori not even entrenched camps, hut merely a ntimbtr ot exper-ye buddings enoiivntug a smooth parade ground, aud surrounded by a tew pmr ol "reservation," wiocii is u-'ui to keep demoralizing int'uene at a distance.

The latter wiil Xte the shipping point tor ad the southern Colorado and New Mex ico trade, but as I intend spending part of tne winter there 1 shad not peak fur ther of it now. All the purely commercial towns of Colorado he neur the toot of the moun- tains.

Oi these several claim to be lor- midable rivals to Denver. I have not I yet en any of the others, but hare 1m come well acquainted with many of Ihe merchants ol this place. 'f the wholesale ot Colorado is done here, and on such liberal terms that, al- lowing tor treight, 1 coujd ofiserve no ap- priciabie ailvance over Si. iuis prices. Nor is there anything ot the teveris i t-x- eitement and overdoing things which is-l cnaracteristic oi Chicago, but rather the quiet assured style 'd PniUddphia or St.

Iuis. So too their buildings are nearly ail irnod and hons-s 1 me.stly of brick, dwellings of bnck, gravel or frame, and in belter taste than those of most places 1 have seen. The city is buiit on an eaiy slope, extending backmariy two miles trom the South Piatte iiyr aud irrigated by an ac quia which taps the same river twenty miles above. Shade trees are planted in every street and irngat gardens surround most of the dwellings. In two or three years Denver will he as luxuriantly green as Sslt Lake City, and will not lie di-flgur by such outlandish Jeatures as suit ihe tastes (if our Mormon neighbors.

From every part of D.nver two hundred miles ot the cy juouuiains can te fen, af fording an endless feast of sublime and bfautiful scenery, varying with each hour of the day, or seasou of the year, changing with euh change of wea'lier, and often al the same time part bathed in sunshine and rt wrapped in 3 Such scenery, and other higher attractions than mere money-making have tended to draw to Denver a higher class of people than are commonly found iu such sparsely settled countrh a. With the completion of railroad 'he society of few places wiil excel ihat of Denver, and it will be none the worse for a dash of the ot the frontier. C.
