All great chsng'-s proceed alolr, end if

only the t!:sclosure or dicoery. Yoy will

norant and credulcus are aatounded by the
adiniasinn thM what they have so often
been lo'd had exploded has actually tri

prehend lhat what they hnve keen taught to
rouaider failures waa but the neceasary
' foundation of what ihey muat now admit
is ucce thai the latter is but the coin-
- plerrrtd and fruition of the former. They
r't.i.it ihe par'irulir fact, but shut their
. eyes to the genera' principle, and the very
larxt reform thnt is romrnenced finds them
novel, we would again commend them to
public attention.
Credit, we need hardly repeat, is an ex
cellent, en indispensable thing, but grossly
abused, as excellent thingn are apt to be
It cught to be based on substantia! security.
We give credit to a banknote which we
know lo be based upon and secured by a
depoiite of state slocks in the public coffers
of our state ; wc give credit to a man who
proffers a pVdge of undoubted property for
the puueturt! pay menl of his debt ; we give
credit to the man ne thoroughly know as
a rmn r integrity and pecuniary ability.
So frfr ail i legitimate, though it should
sti'L appear thauhe.oerson giving credit is
thoroughly able so to do. Cre :i should
bo given because the creditor is able and
willing lo intrust some share of his means
! the loss for'unate debtor, and not merely
because the former is a seller and the latler
a buyer. Selling and giving credit are
two entirety distinct operations, and one
should never suppose nor involve the other.
But the existing system of mercantile
credit i as looe and vicious as it could be
and wot ead directly to general ruin. Our
importert'buy in Europe on credit ; our
manufacturers are too often constrained to
ell through commission-houses on credit,
not because ihey desire or are really able
to give it, but because such is the course of
an blind and hvlow as eer.
There m tn b, there must be, a grrai Xrl nd lhey conform to it or not
teform in the .n.,lcanJ mr-ans of effecting j .( t ruinoua aacnhce.

- r " lL.l.: ,
Hi.d con:imers gi nrrally. I be average
csl of such exchanges is absurdly higher
than it need be and will be. There are
re r tain marked excep'ions to this general
tatcment : one of them in the cane cotton.
The manufacturer, whether in Old or New
Kegland, in France or Pittsburg, regularly
buys his slock of cotton for seldom more
and often less than the grower's price with
the usual charges for brokerage and trans
txir'aiioo. ihe same is the case with a
taw olher great staples which are mainly
bought and sold in large quantities, and
which suffer linle injury from time or
changes of climate. Bu' with regard to
Ihe creat majority of vendibles the fact is
gloomily .iherwie. There are very
many articles whic cost large c leases of
consumers three :o six times what the pro
ducers receive for them, while on more
than half the goods solJ in ihe world there
is an advance of twenty live to filly per
cent, above what they need cost the con-
suaicr. This advance is a tax on produc
tive Inbor which can not long abide the
neighborhood of common schools, cheap
ni'wsja;ers, and electric telegraphs. It
must come down.
c Do you ask why the rate of mercantile
profit in so high 1 Count the number of
t irr m any county, and you have a rea
dy :,jer. There are five to ten times aa
many persons employed in and subsisting
by trade as there nerd or should be. As
the taxes of a nation must be in proportion
to the number and salaries of those quar
tered on its treasury, so the profits of trade
must be graduated by the number Ihey are
n-quired to strpport. '. If twenty mercantile
M'.aUishuients use kept up whew three
would be abundant, the average advance
on the cost cf goods must be three or four
limes what it should be. Of course, we do
not forget the use of competition in coun
teracting stlih rapacity, but there are
ways ol attaining the good here contemplu
ird far more cheaply than by employing
twenty men to do the work which three
would do betttr. '
We shall have an end of this. The di
versification of industrial pursusta will do
much to promote it. As a general rule,
the rrodt charged on' any article to the
r,:;mer is proportioned to the distance
-'in the point f. production. A fabric
hich tlieasafiuCcturer will sdly fell to

o credit not leas, but more ; for his stock
in store w ill not pay his notes, but when
turned info retailers' paper, though not ah
solutely known to be good, ilean, well en
dorsed, be ground into cash. It is no mys
tery, therefore, that a failing house has
lots of bad papers among its assets ; it is
as natural as life. It has been making
sales to keep the mill going, and could not
slop lo be nice. Thus green country youths
not wonh a thousand dollars in the world,
but backed up by such letters as most peo
pie will write or sign without much con
sideration or conscience, can come here
and get in debt for five thousand dollars'
worth of goods, when they have no legit
imate claim to credit for one fourth the
amount. These- they go back to retail,
nine tenths on credit, to Tom, Dick, and
lliivry, at glorious prices, but with dubi
ous prostccis of payment. The notes tall
all around ; payment is demanded ; a part
of lira retailer's customers have paid in
work on his new store, or in provisions,
furniture.or fuel for his family ; a few pay
punctually, their goods costing from twen
ty to forty per cent, more than they need
f there were no such thing as mercantile
credit ; others pay at the end of an execu
tion, and of course pay nearer a hundred
per cent, more than the cash value ; many
have started (or "the w est," or have no tan
gible property, and never pay. Finally,
but not when due, the retailer pays twenty

with his creditors, and rs ready lo begin
again. The jobber pays the importer and
the corr.miielon-house if he can; the upshot
is, thdt the goods are not half paid lor
but those who paid at all, have paid far too
much. The -whole transaction has been an
encowegerneot to knavery, improvidence,
and. over-trading j for, if ihere were no
system of mercantile credit, not hail those
now engaged in trade- could pretend to be
in it at all. They could nbt buy a decern
stock of goods if obliged to pay for Ihetn ;
and a system of cash sales would speedily
reduce profits so lhat a petty business would
not be worth doing. The mere simplifica
tion of business consequent on the disuse of
credit in trade, would save half the time
and talent now absorbed in mercantile pur
suits. The setting of $100,000 worth o(
good ia a-county , by two or three estab-
h ill" of it. at a very small cost, the owners
of his patent may jx-ud fifty thousand
dollars a-y.-ar in advertising it, and then
not spend enough. There are inventions
within our knowledge worth hundreds of
thousands, if the atcn'ees knew how, and
had ihe enterprise, to bring them home to
the knowledge of all interested ; these fai
ling, they will never realize twenty thouK

pest with almost any article in general use,
or can cheaply furnish an article which
will meet a general snort hitherto more ex
pensively met, can not advertise too much
il he knows how to advertise at all. And
yet many a dealer in our city pays a thou
sand dollars more, for an eligibly-located
store, than he need pay in a less-frequent
ed street, and does not pay a hundred dot
lars a year lor adverUMog I- He willingly
pays a thousand dollars merely to le some
ten ihouaand people know that he baa cer
tain articles lo aell.l.ut begrudges five hun

This can not,in the na'ureof ihingS.long

old rules and habits, after lhey become ut

weight of a piven measure of manure;
yet how, without luch raleulations, cd

can it be otherwise, when there is, for it,
no pretence of eduva'ion, or sy stematic ac
counts of anything when, in fiic!,'be idea
is thai any fool may inrke a farmer.
The real value ol manure is increased
by the fact lhat it progressively Busmen's
itself.and lhat.besides the produce it yields,
an extra quantity of manure will, if prop
erly bestowed, never fail to produce ihe el
ements of a fresh supply, so thnt it will
soon be possible to col ivite those plan"

hand, the manure diiinuhf in like pro
portion, if scarcity is allowed to he f. t,and

ces of a scarcity or dimiuuiti m of manure
is a scarcity of straw ; and when there is
little straw or fodder, little dung cm be ob

Disclosures of Gen. Klspkav
A banquet lo welcome and termor cse

French Government refused an asylum to
the Hungarian emigrants'; though politi
cal refugees from that country were' wel

L'Uis XIV. i :.. - -
One of the speakers at the banquet used
tbe phrase, " Hungary is crushej to death,'?
'- No, no I exclaimed General Ktlpka,
w Hungary is not crushed to death, tbe is
but a lii tie relaxed. from her horrible strug
gin with two overwhelming powers; but
verily she wants only a breath to iiift-ime
berngain to a second heroical insurrection.'
Gen. Klapka bein thea asked if the rum
ored stipulation of the treaty of capitula
tion of Comoro lor a general amnesty to.
all Hungarian. captives, including Count
Bailnany, were true,. be answered, that it
had not been posi'ively granted, but. as a
matter of honor and humanity it was sol
emnly promised at Soon as Comoro should
be surrendered. He hnsten-d, from this
mo ive, the conclusion of the treaty of
surrendering. By the followip a'cociou s
facts the knavery of the Amtrfno Govern
ment, and its lew perfidy to the Hungarian
nation, was sign-ilizel for eleroily.

Georgey also anxiously concealed from
the Hungarian army the report of the glo

d.d not become known till after his defec

a degree perplexing, that every hope from
resistance vanished. Klapka was at that
time recruiting 5J0Q men, and nrepuiiig
lor an invasion ofStyria. " .
The highest veneration is paid by K'ap
ka to the genius and greatness of the char
acter of Kossuth. Ia Klapka's opinion,
Kossuth ia worth 100,001) Hungarians ;
but Kossuth aimel at too much at once,
and was loo decided for the entire in de

is said to have received aa abundsnt manuring.
It is customary to allow only one-hall
the weight and quantity of manure above
mentioned, when the manure is derivt d en
tirely from sheep.hecause the effects w hich
it produces are at once greater and n.ore
prompt, but less iffi.-acious in point of du
rability. ' ..';. . j
The periods of these manuring occur
every three, four, six or nine vear. The
more frequently applied, ihe slighter they
are ; and ihe longer the interrals,the more
abundant must tbe manuring be. Thus ii
is necessary to take into account not only
the quantity to be laid on at each time.but
the number efrmes to be repeated.
