Lynch, who is condemned to bo hung as a Fenian, was a spocial reporter of that paper, and that circum stances prevented his receiving his credentials. Halos of now corn have been made in Loudon County, "Virginia, at $3 per barro!-as it shrinks one-tenth during the winter, this is equal to $3 30 in March. Tho crop is enormous, and from the scarcity of flour it will command moro. Tho groat suspension bridgo at Cincinnati will be ready for passengers on tho lat of December, and a month later it is hoped to have it ready for vehiclos. This bridgo has the longest singlo span in the world. John A. Bingham, of Ohio, it ia said in Wash? ington, ia preparing articlos of impoachmon against tho Presidont, in which ho will chargi him with complicity in tho assassination of Pretfi dent Lincoln.

Th Colonel rofusod to give tho Indians any prosont or havo anything to do with thom until they xc turned tho captives. Sovoral Southern Episcopal Bishops and La Trustees aro taking moaaurea to revivo the pre joot inaugurated before, tho war, of founding university of the higheat grado, under tho anap ccb of tho Frotoatant Episcopal Church, in ti Dioceses of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabam TcnnesBee, Arkansas, MiBBisBippi, Louisiana ar Texas. Tho now railroad depot at Cleveland, tho largo in tho world, was oponed on tho 10th. It ia 01 foot in longth and 180 in breadth, covering an an of more than two and a half acres. It is built sandstone. Over tho main entrance thero is massive tower 00 fcot in hoight. Six elegant olia doliors will light tho apartment at night.

Gov. Wells has granted t right of way for tho State of Louisiana, subject tho ratification of tho Legislature. Tho Compa proposos to rnn thoir linea along tho Opolou. and Groat Western Railroad to Brashoar City, a thoncu to tho boundary Uno of tho State. A oonBUB of tho State of Mississippi, taken ? year, indicatos that the loss of whites to thatSti daring tho last b?x years, was 8000, and of bla. 67,000, leaving in that Stato at present 310,< .Whites and 380,000 nogrooB. The por contago of. oroaso among tim blacks is thirteen. Should I same ratio hold good throughout the South, it i bo porcoived that the four millions of blacks in I TJnitod States in 18i;0 havo lost i.2-),000, leaving I total blaok population now 3,480,000. On tho 12th ?nat. tho Chicago ?Ymcs, a v known Democratic journal, carno out in favor tho Constitutional Amondmont, and moro or 1 of colored nuffrago, on the idoa of boing "progr Bivo." A dispatch from that city, dated tho l8 ' saya : "Tho attempts of tho Chicago Times to c? mit tho domooracy of tho Northwost, of whicl has bithorto boon tho organ, to negro Buffrago meeting with strong roaiatanco by tho rank t fllo, although tho loadora sustain tho papor in oonrso.

SATURDAY MORNING-, NOVEMBER 17,18i?0. AIR LINES. That the hypothcniouso of a rigLt-anglcd triangle is Bhortcr than Ibu other two ?side- is a fact, wo bo liovo, that even a tyro in mathematics would bo slow to disputo. Tho pooplo of Columbia, S. OL, some fiftoon years ago, inado tho discovery that an Air Lino Railroad from their city to Augusta would be of considerable loss distance than tho ronlo* then and at prosont in uso botweon theso two points. At once a great oxcitom nt aroso : "Wo must have an air lino to Hamburg." Public meet ings woro had, resolutions passod, "books oponed," and tho route survoyed. Soon tho enthusiasm abated, and tho project lay dormant till tho war, when it received -. now impetus, owing to oircum stauccs arising from tbo changed state of the country. The war, however, carne to a closo, and tho road still unbuilt. Tbo pcoplo of Columbin, wo aro informed, aro now again asked to do some thing to further this ontorpriso; and wo have no doubt thoy would subscribo liberally if they bad tho monoy. And what aro the advantages lo bo reaped by Columbia from this continuation of tho Charlotte Railroad to tho Savannah River? Docs sho ex pect a largo trade from Augusta ond tho country west of that city ? Clearly not ; for it is well known that if any freights ?hall ever bo brought over that road from Georgia, thoy will pass right on to Charlotte, leaving Columbia two and a half miles to tbo North ; and so far from rocoiving any advan tage from such an oxtension, Columbia coasos oven to bo a waysido station, for a new town will, in all probability, spring up in tbo vicinity of tbo junction. If tho corporators of tho Charlotte Road can Euccocd in making tho people of Colum bia build this road, thoy will merit tbo credit of having done a very clover thing for tbemsolves. But it may bo said tho road ongbt to bo built, on account of tho "way business." Wo admit, indeed, tbat a railroad through any section of country is a great convenience to tbo peoplo Uving in said section, and should, therefore, bo built by said people, unless it is clear that it will provo a profit able investment, in which case capitalists toke bold of tbo scbonio and carry it to a successful com pletion. But tbo Columbia and Hamburg Railroad can bold out no such inducements. Tbo country wbicb it travers?e, and tbo adjacont sections tributary to it, aro, perhaps, tbo poorest parts of tbo State, and tbo way business, therefore, offers no profitable return for tho outlay. The people along tho Uno are unablo to build it. Thoy look to Columbia and Augusta, the two ter mini, to carry tbo enterprise through. Columbia, wo learn, is about to issue now bonds for this purpose. For tbo sako of tbo unfortunate bolders of ber stocks of prior date, it is to be hoped that this project will fail; for evon now, City of Colum bia stock, if wo aro rightly informod, is at a dis count of fifty per cent. It requires but little knowl edge of financo to foresco the effect of a large now issno of corporation scrip. From fifty it will rapidly descend to zero. Columbia should bo just beforo generous. In 1854, when tbo Columbia and Hamburg Rail road scheme was in its infancy, wo woro much struck with the remark of a wise old gentleman it Columbia,-a largo capitalist, and ono who bad much practical knowledge about railroads. He Baid, vory pithily, in answer to tho argument. thon in fashion in favor of its construction: "Au Unes arc very good things, but wo cannot always Lavo thom." THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. Wo havo not expressed in our paper any romarkf in regard to tbe difficulty existing among the members of tbo New York Associated Press, oi rather of tho discharge of tho Superintendent o that Association by the members, and his starting a rival association, wcU knowing that s?cb dis cussion would not in the least interest our road ors. What they want is the latest and most inter eating news. And as wo aro morely tbe agonta o oui- numerous readers, aU tbo in toros t we have ii the matter is to pay our money and endeavor t? gel tliis news. Acting in this capacity-as caterers for tbo pub lie-wo must say that wo aro vory much displease with the way in wbicli the Association has bcci and is, at prosent, managed, though wo oonfes wo do no? exactly know who wo aro got ting new from, whotlior from Mr. Cuajo, or tho old No' York Associated Press. "Wo get our Southern an Western dispatches from Mr. Walsh, who says b is acting for Mr. Cii.uo, and wo rocoivo our Nortl ern nowa from Mr. Holland, who sooinB to bo i tbo employ of tbo old Association. Thoroforo it woidd seem that wo arc rocoivin from two Associations. Howovor this may bo, ? must say wo aro -vory -njnstly treated. For ii atanco, take our dispatches publisbod yoslordn morning; wo havo ono from Cincinnati nnnounoin that "Tho Society of tho Army of the TonneBsf Las met and elected members, for tho yoar," but - are not informod of tho price or salo.t of grain an bacon in Cincinnati of that day. The formor twaddlo-tho latter ?b information. Thon again, in our dispatches this morning, ti cabio informs us that a papor in Vienna Las stat? " that arrangomonts aro boing mndo which w probably pacify Europo," and a Liverpool dispati of yoatorday, pubUshod this morning, states tb tho "short timo movemont among tho ootU mills of Laucaahiro is oxtending," but it doos n say a word about tho prico or sales of cotton Liverpool. To know that information, wo mu rofor to tho moagro roports of the day provious. Now all this is wrong, and tho Association tb broaks up this hnmubggory wiU get aU tho patru age of tho Southern press. Wo cannot Lolp tbinking, however, tbat if tho Southon? dailies would unite in a meeting, s to be oaUod by our friend Clabil of tho -lob Advertiser, Prosidont of tbo Southern Press Ass ciation, good romodios might bo made, and e papors placed upon a moro indopondont and t Tout igcoua ba-i- than thoy now occupy. or, on dil, .mo in g rr'a n?, The Philadelphia Age says that "ono of t motbods resorted to by tbo Radicals of Jolie t, U iioiii, to bLow tboir delight at tho result of tho ; cent olection in that State, was burning tbo Ck atituti on of tbo United States, whicb was dono tho opon stroote, amid tbo most vociforons clio ing from tho crowd of partisans asBombled. TI shows whom tbo teachings of Su-mss and B' vxHB oro loading tbo peoplo." OUR AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS. There has been much solicitudo among our pcoplo as to the prospects of agriculture. Those na well in linea of business collateral to ag riculture na those directly engaged in that pur suit have felt nu interest in the result. It is generally conceded that ii is the foundation upon which the superstructure of nil other Forma of activity and investment must depend. Ourmerchants, IradcBtnon and manufacturera all realize (hat they eau have but a madora lu incas* ure ol' success except in consistence willi nu abundant und prosperous rural population ; that cili?s, towns and publie enterprise* have bul n precarious tenure of existence, even, without local sources of support; I hal lo have heallh, vigor und advancement, thoy must be the ex ponents of agricultural development ; and there has been the general feeling, therefore, that lhere could be no assurance ol' the futures of Ibis mid other citiea of the South, and of the business connected will, them, without I he ns Burancc,alao,that there would be Hie conditions of a successful cultivation of tlie country. I Of that success there was rooin for doubt, li seemed to be reasonably certain that plantation culture, with free negro labor, couM not be permanently successful. It waa not even cer tain, in the disturbed condition of affairs .onie twelve months since, that colored labor could be made available at all; but conceding that, it waa not believed that the plantation system, na it had before exiated, could be sustained. It was known that it had failed upon the emanci pation of slaves in the Weat India Islands and in Guinea, and it. waa known, also, that such a syslcni had never been successful elsewhere ex cept with slaves, or with a people, as in India, forced by starvation to a discipline na severe as that of which slavery wns susceptible. There arc many people who have a surplus of pro ducts for foreign markets, hut it is a surplus merely-it is that excess of the products of their several farms not necessary lo their own support ; but it was not known that there were any people without a laboring population under the diaciplinc of slavery or starvation, who had been successful in the exclusive cultivation of agricultural products for a foreign market, while dependent upon the products of a foreign market for a support; and aa it had come to be believed that the country was still dependent on that system, as there was no experience ol any progress or prosperity without, it wat gravely doubted whether there was, in fact, n future of material advancement for the South, It were too much to say, perhaps, that these grounds of apprehension have been entirely removed. It is yet to be doubled whcthci plantation culture can long be continued While rice and cotton arc at their present ele voted priccB, they will absorb, lo a great ex lent, the available labor of the country. But i is not to be supposed that these present ele vatcd prices will continue. Absorbing thi labor of the country, and drawing other laboi in, which they must do, these products mus ultimately transcend the present extraordinarj demand for them. The production muBt be come very nearly as great as it waa before th? war, and when so great, these prioca must nee essarily diminish. It is probable that the; will never be bo low as they have been. Th? costs of culture must be greater, and, befor reaching their former prices, they will ccaso ti . be perceptible; but it ia reasonably ccrtaii i that they will sink to an equilibrium of othc 1 pursuits,-fall to the point at which the enter prise becomes precarious : to the point at whicl it cannot offer the inducements to withdraw . rural population from ita natural tendency t ! farm culture. There is a natural dispoaitio: among every people, black or white, to indi viduality of life,-to some separate holding c their own, admitting more of ease and inde pcndcncc. From that they will bo withdraw 1 to plantation culture only by extraordinary in ducements, which that culture must ultimatcl . I fail to offer; and it ia reasonably certain, there . fore, that such form of agricultural ac?vit - cannot, be permanently continued, and to thi - extent, therefore, the misgivingB of our peopl " aa to tho prospects of the country have n< * boen entirely removed. But in other respects, however, the prospac is unquestionably bright. For the time, r _ least, our plantations must be cultivated, an ii that culturo must bo profitable. Nor in it n< i, ccBBary to the welfare of a country that a should be permanently devoted to plantatic a culture. If that shall absorb the labor, thei , can, of course, bo none for collateral pursuit d . In consiBtcnoo with that thcro arc apt to b .. und can be, perhaps, no trades, manufactoric n arts, institutions, or even towns, in proportk to the general population. Tho profits of su. 6 enterprises are apt to be expendod clscwhcr 0 and it ib, perhaps, true in principle, as it hi been in oxperionoe, that plantations make province. )0 In tho prospect of the abandonment ,-o auoli oulturc, therefore, thcro is no onuso id apprehension if, in consistcnoc with that, the is shall bo tho reason for believing that our cou try will retain or attract a more prospero . population, aud for such belief the reasons a ?jj certainly abundant. There is no country :u tho world presenting, to a farming populatio at a surplus product so profitable. Tho labor >n of other countries making, perhaps, an abu ok dant provision for himself and fumily, haa J" surplus product which will more than pay t oxpenso of transportation to a distant mark aj. But. hero the laboror, making aa abundant co' n. forts aa iu any other section of the world, li a product for his surplus labor whioh, und edi all suppoaable oiroumstanocs, must contin .Vy coBtly, and whioh, through years of coonoor must give him wealth. Compared with tho profits of farm cultu ?. elsewhere, that culturo in the Southe States ?b without a parallel in point profit, and its superior advantages mu ho ultimately, havo their effoot. Our pre?? Hi- rural population muat nccosnarily prosp r?- whilo a foroign population must ultim.il >n~ come to join them. It baa not dono so yet any great extent. Their misgivings as to i I.- character of our colored population and < ri> politioal condition, has deterred thom bo fi but these misgivings must ultimately bo moved. A negro population is eminently bus ccptiblc of order ; when foreign causes of dis turbance aro removed, our political diflicultien must ultimately be settled in some form con sistcnt with, at least, the material cultivation and well-being of Hie country; ami when it shall appear that negroes are harmless, and labor secure from the interference of the Gov ernment, the tide of immigration from foreign count t-ies, and even from seel iona in the Nor! li must certainly be turned upon these Southern Stall's. A small instalmenl have rome already. Within the last few days one hundred and fifty have iii-iivcd, mid though that instalment be small, ii is, al least, the earnest of a change. Their reports cannot but. be favorable. TL? inducements which have brought them will bring othcra, mid it ia to bo hoped, therefore. Hint we have touched the lowest point; that every further change will be improvement; thiil our further steps will bo progressive; that present improvement? must extend, and that upon our present foundations, small and re-j alrictcd na they are now, they may safely build, and that, improvement and prosperity will come to sustain the structure of their for lunet? The Illuhtoated comic weekly Eladdcradalsch, pnbliahcd at Berlin, had a very Hignificnnt picture somo woekaago, representing Bismahck at his din ner. Ho lina boforo him Schleswig and Holatein, and IIosBO-Cassol and Hanover, and a servant is in the act of placing on tho tablo Nasaau, tho City of Frankfort, and slices of Hesec-Bannaladt and Bavaria. Under it tho inscription tells tho talc : "Appetite comea while eating." A moro correct exposition of the policy of BisM.vncK and bia royal master could hardly havo boon givon. The question of tho admission of Colorado na a Stato is to bo urged boforo tho coming session of Congress. Tho truo mon of that Territory, who valuo correct principles nbovo political power, aro opposing tho admission. They know that the population of the Territory is insufficient to acem ite admission according to tho terms of tho Con stitution. Governor Cummings Ia in Bympathy with tho movemont in opposition, and a Convention is to ho hold on tho 21th of this month for tho pur pose o' protesting against it. WANTS.
