Great gloom and despondency have fallen upon the men since the capture of Vicksburg and Port Hudson. They feel that the cause -of the rebellion_ is waninc , ; that it has received fatal blows. and that but little hope is held out to "encourage them in their mad efforts to resist the, advance of the Union arms, and the restoration of the na tional authority over the Southern, States. The mountains are said to be full of de serters from Lee's army., Among the rebels it was currently reported , and generally be lieved that Lee bad tendered his resignation as commander, but Davis - ,refuied to accept it. North 'Carolina seemsabout to take.formal steps to throw off the rebel yoke: The Ra leigh Standard openly advocates submission or reconstruction, and the legislature is ar 'rayed squarely against the Jeff Davis . usur pation: Indeed °Veil-tiling now points to the formal restoration of North Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi and - Lbuisianiti to the' Union within ninety days.

But whether it does or not, Mis souri is, from this time forward, substantially a Free State, and will I doubt not, enter upOn. that career of. prosperity for which her magnificent position,and unsurpassed resour ces so admirably fit her: ' "When . I look back to the controversy which grew out of the attempted restriction on the admission of Missouri into the Union in 1820, and on the folly which dictated the repeal of the Missouri Compromise in 1854, and then consider that the people of Missou ri, assembled in convention in 1863, have decreed that after, 1870, all slaves .then in Missouri shell be free, I am awe-struck with the visible tokens of an overruling and an interposing Providence."_ • . .

This is the great iniquity of the times in this coun try. because it is a deliberate attempt to set aside the dilAne authority 'of the civil gov ernment, and- thus - it is a - rebellion , against God as well ns against . the _Government. With the masses of the South it is doubtless, to a large extent, the result of ignorance and excitement, but with the leaders it has been a crime of cool calculation. The immense suffering which they have broughtupon them selVes, as well as upon the whole land, has shown that the authority of civil government is not a thing- to be resisted without incurring the penalties pronounced against all such offenders in God's word: "They that, resist shall receive to themselves damnation."

The supply of the ;lacteal iluia for New Yorkers' - consumption, through the avenue of the N. Y. and R:, aver ages one hundred thousand gallons 'daily. The freight on it yields an income from $6OO to $9OO a .day. The milk train starts ev ery,, evening from Otisville; a distance of seventy-five miles from New York, and along the entire line are milk stations, which drain the country for, four or five' miles on 'either side of the "road,.' • The manifests - of the present sitasonsehow an increase of the milk trade over any previous year. There is. s lusciousness in the article as drank on a good 'dairy farii this county, that one would scarcely apprehend,. even from having before drank good milk, -and never could dream of in the double-weakened commodity vended in the streets of the ma tropolis. The mode of collecting the milk for mar ket, is a novelty to the uninitiated. At early noon the cows are-driven' into a yard, and two, three, or four pair of stout hands are put in'requisition ; the milk is then strained into large cans, holdingAseveral gallons; these cans are let doWn with a windlass, into a large, deep well to keep cool, .until the evening. In the afternoon the process is re peated with the cows, the milk strained as before, into cans, and cooled off, to about 60 Faretheit. The cans placed in, the well are drawn up, and all s,ent off .to the station, (where they must arrive at or before six P. 3i2, or thetwitl not be redeived,) to be in readiness for the train. In the outset of the Milk exportation, it was attended with much : confusion apart from annoyance, the far mers reaped loss rather than, profit, and to Mr. Moore of. Middletown, they are indebt ed for a consolidated system which works. 'admirably. The acknowledged superiority of Orange County butter appears to be not only in the sweetness and flavor of the article, but it beers transportation, resists the action ,of a heated atmosphere in a better degree, than any other brand. I hear it accounted for upon the principle of, the. nature of the grass on which the animals feed. The same parties which - have the reputation of making superior hurter on the farms where they have been brought up in 'this county, find their reputation impaired, their art gone, when transplanted to other - sections of the country. The manufacture of butter in this county, decreases in.the rates that the, milk exportation increases. -The county.lies upon the west side of the Hudson Riv'or, and covers an area of 760 square miles. A portion of it is rugged, and mountainous, the valley which is - of an undulating character; lies between theShaw angunk, and: Warwick mountains ; both spurs of thnllue. Ridge. “Sam's Point," the terminus of the Shawangunk is visited by lovers of fine scenery. The southeast portion is washed by the Hudson, Where rise censpiCuous in its Highlands, Butter Hill, Croneit, and Bear Mountains. In the western extremity are the Navesink, Delaware, and Mongaup rivers. The centre is traversed by the Wallkill, and its tribu taries. This stream rises in New Jersey, andflows northerly into 'Ulster co., where it empties at kingston into the Hudson. It is justly celebrated for its beauty, which cul rninatesjin a picturesque cascade at the the village of Walden. The romantic character of the river in that locality, has inspired the pen of one., if unknown to extended fame, is none theless- appreciated by an extensive circle Of 4 aCquaintances.
