THE DAILY NEWS. Fading Sight. There is a shadowy film before my eyes; Uhe outspread landscape shrouded in a veil Is dimly beautiful; up to the skies I look, and there the stars are few and palo. The world now meets me with a darkened brow; The flowers seem more retiring and less free, As if they thought I do not love them now So well, as when they sweetly smiled on me. The noon-day sun that fall? upon the sea Blending its brilliants wit.i the dark bite haze, Appears a faded glimmering to me While o'er the wide expanse 1 turn and gaze. Old orean roll thy" blBowslow, be calm 1 An aged traveller stands upon thy shore With clouded vision, listening to the psalm Of dying winds and waves when storms are o'er. What though the outlines of y?n mountain fade, The bird still sings along its rocky height; What though the wild flowers bloom in deeper shade, Ibey are as fair in tones of softened light. i Welcome sweet twilight of a troubled day, Thoul't lead me in a quiet lonely vale, Compel me to forsake the world's'rude way Where dangers lie concealed and foes assn!. Welcome thou harbinger of peaceful rest, Thoul't bear me onward to that shoreless sea Where not a ripple stirs its tranquil breast Tho promised re; t through all eternity. . r- LAJSDS IX THE SOTJTH. nrpOBTASi FBOM TBE DEPABTITZ-VT OF AGBI CTLTUBE. /Ir. Capron, Commissioner o? the Depart? ment of ?priculture, some time since sent cir? culars through the Southern States, request? ing answers to questions concerning the past and present value of lands and the prospects of agriculture. The replies have been care? fully condensed, and Mr. Capron makes a re - port on the subject, froni which we gather the following : \ EEG ESI A. The average fall of the price of land in Vir .. ginia, since 1860, is twenty-seven per cent.; the average increase in value in this State ranges from one dollar an acre in the southwestern counties, to fifty dollars in the beBt parta o? the tidewater counties. There are, however, very ?lew purchasers in the market. Property own> era, aa a jule, do not sell when they can possi* ?ly avoirTft: Mr. Capron adds, however, that the evidence ia abundant of a growing dispo? sition to invite immigration. At present the Virginia farmers devote themselvea mainly to stockraising. The average price of pasturage is less than one dollar a month. A large amount of wheat has been raised in the Shenandoah galley. The sugar maple is faat disappearing from the mountainous countries. The farmers in all the counties, especially in those lying on . the slopes of the Blue Bidge, seem to be turn? ing their attention to the subject of fruit-grow? ing, a cultur? for which the soil and climate are well suited. The valuable forests of the . State are at present, as a rule, entirely unpro? ductive. NORTH CAP.0LESA. The average fall in the price of lande in North Carolina since 1860 is folly fifty per rent. In two' counties, however, prices have not decreas? ed. Timbered uplands and swamp, or "poco sur" lands, can be bought at from fifty cents to ten dollars an acre; exhausted and abandon? ed lands at even lower prices. The agriculture of the State ia primitive and not very profit? able. Mr. Capron says : Corn is the Btaple "for bread in many coun? ties. Halifax reports the yield on bett lands : Cotton, four hundred to five hundred pounds lint; corn on uplands, twentv to thirty, and on lowlands, thirty to fifty bushels; but on com? mon lands throughout the State che average is one hundred to three hundred pounds lint; twelve to twenty bushels of corn; five to ten bushels of wheat. Here, as in Virginia, the early Tappahannock is rapidly supplantin sr other varieties of wheat. Nearly all the counties are adapted to fruit? growing. There is little meadow land in the State, the farmers usually turning their stock loose in the wocSIs. sorra CAROLINA. In South, CaroliDa 'the average decrease in the market value of land since 1860 is about sixty per cent. Wild lands can be bought in most counties for from fifty cents to two dol? lars an acre. Reports from all the cottoh Sowing counties agree' in declaring cotton be, at present, " a profitless, and, in most cases, a losing crop." In Union district the yield of farm landa ie " generally SOO to 1000 pounds seed cotton, 8 to 60 bushels corn, 20 to 40 bushels dee, 4 to 15 of rye, and 10 to 23 of oats. Of coarse, better implements, thor? ough tillage, and good use of marl and other materials ana manure, would greatly increase these products.'' From April to October or November, only working cattle and milch cows are fed. The rest of the stock run loose in the woods and abandoned lands until after harvest, when they are turned into the grain fields. Very little profit is derived from fruit-grow? ing. It is suggested that as the season is from a month to six weeks earlier in South Carolina, market gardening for this and other northern cities might be made very profitable. BMBfflAi In fifty counties of Georgia the price of lands has fallen off since 1860 fully one-half. In three counties prices remain the same. As in the other States, the number of 6ales is very small. Cultivated land can be found at from twenty-five cents to fifteen dollars au acre: wild lands throughout the State at nominal prices. The State can produce a great variety of crops, bat hitherto wheat, com and cotton have engrossed the attention of the farmers. The latter crop is at present out of favor. The improved, methods of farming have not yet made their way into many of the counties. The average yield in 1866 was as follows : Corn 6.2 bushels, wheat 4 bushels, rye 4.8 bushels, oats 10.7 bushels, barley 8.2 bushels, potatoes 62 bushels, tobacco 625 pounds, hay nine tenths of a ton per acre. Pasture costs the farmers very little; often nothing at all. But little attention has been given to fruit-grow? ing, yet it is asserted that "all fruits not strictly tropical may be cultivated ia Georgia with saccess.." FLORIDA. The returns from Florida are meagre. The prices of lands are merely nominal, hardly any sales taking place. The average decrease m value since 1860 is behoved to be about fifty five per cent. A large part of the wild land is not, at present, valuable for farming uses. The agriculture of the state is rude, and not very profitable. It is thought that wheat can be grown on the "hammock" lands. Pasture costs nothing. Northern immigrants are settling along the coast and on the islands, and there is little doubt that Florida will become a great fruit-growing and timber producing state. ALABAMA. In Alabama the price of land has fallen off | since I860 about sixty per cent. As in other states, the large plantations have depreciated in value much more than the small farms. The average price of unimproved lands is about one dollar seventy-five cents an acre. The report says : "An almost universal complaint is made of the unprofitableness of cotton culture at present prices and iu the unsettled condition of labor, and a determination expressed to de? vote more attentioj to the cereals and root crops, some of which are well suited to the soil and climate." But little care has been give J to the cultivation of grasses or fruits. LOUISIANA. In Louisiana th? Value of land seems to have depreciated since 1860 about twenty per cent. Tue prices put upon unimr.oved lands are merely nominal. But few sales are report? ed. Much valuable laud is lying idle for want of capital and labor. Those who have planted cotton have lost money. But little wheat has yet been raiBed. More attention has been given to core. In the 6onthern tier of parishes sacar, rice, tobacco and fruits yield a good profit. Indeed, the report predicts that fruit? growing will become a leading interest of the Btate. The grazing districts are among the best in the country, and, in general, Louisiana planters and farmers are not put to much ex pence for feeding their stock. ARKANSAS. Two counties in Arkansas report an increase in the value of land since 1660 ; the others re? port aa average decrease of sixty per cent. Farms worth $100 an acre before the war are now,'in some parts of the State, valued at $5. Much of the soil is of the finest quahty, and, nuder a good system of cultivation, will yield very heavy and profitable crops. No farm meadow lands are needed-the stock grazing on ranges until after harvest. In many coun? ties fruit grows readily, and will some time be on important interest." The twenty-seven States represented in Concress will cast a total electoral vote in the Presidential election of tr, o htndred and iorty eeven. If the ten SUtee not represented in Congress should cast their electoral vote-a total of seventy-the whole number will be three hundred and sixteen, of which one hun? dred and fifty-nine will be a bare majority.

Thc Charleston Money Market. THURSDAY, March 25,18C8. Money ie abundant, and is likely to continue so while there is an absence of first class borrowers, The best paper is readily taken at 1 per cent, a month, but there is but little paper of this descrip? tion in the market, and the banks consequently find, that, with overflowing coffers, their safe business is very limited in amount. The bank -jill market has been quiet, and the quotable changes are an advance in the prices of Camden's and State Bank's. In the general market the feeling has been dull and there has been but little business. The sale of the assets of the Savings Institution is hanging like a cloud over the heads of investors, many of whom may be expected to find that they have sold out at low rates to get in again Rt high prices. From the manner in which the sale in question i? to be con? ducted, it seems reasonable that the securities then offered will go off at stiff rates, and, as foreign capital wiU in all probability be attracted here for invest? ment, there is not much real danger of a decline either before or after the sale. The quotations of to-day compared with those of l86t week show tis fcllcvrisg variations : South Carolina Railroad, old shares 4 lower; seven per cent, bonds, 2better; State bonds and stock, 2 better; First National, 2 better. State and City bills are quotably unchanged. Generally the tone o' the marketis weak, more on account of the absence of buyers than on account of any disposition on the part of holders to press sale?. SOUTHERN BANK BILLS. Current Rates.

[FOB TBE WEEK ENDING THURSDAY, MARCH 26.1 COTTON.-The demand for this article duriDg the past week has been characterized by much inac? tivity, and business in the article has been dull to a marked degree, holders, however, have net been disposed to abate, to any important extent, their views of the ?atnie of prices or to give Indication ol weakness, or that they are ready to come down to the views of buyers. Purchasers have been re?train? ed by the lack of strength and want of vigor in the demand, both at Liverpool and New York, and have therefore been unable to find a sound basis on which to meet the idtos of factors, and until the controlling markets takes a more decided feature, we may look for mach dullness and light transac? tions. The general reports are such as to support the opinion of those who maintain the view that the interior is bare of cc rt on, and who believe that the receipts from this time will be of the most scanty amount. Prices at Liverpool have been steadily maintain? ed, Middling Upland hav.ng been quoted at 10!"d.?. lb. during the entire week, while at New York the staple has shown a slight disposition to recede, hav? ing commenced at -Gc. and fell off to 2i}: cts. f> lb. on New York Middling, but again stiffened to 25? Z5}?, while in this market the unusual fact bas been presented of prices ruling rather tinner than in that great Northern mart, Middling Upland having been held here, although somewhat nominal, at 25c. $ lb. fir the week. The arrivals of the staple at this port have been 68 bales of Sea Islands and Floridas, and 3547 bales of Uplands, against 142 boles of Sea Islands and Floridas and 6624 bales of Uplands the week be? fore, end 284 boles of Sea Islands and Floridas and 2468 bales of Upland Cotton for the corresponding week Last year. We submit the following report of the business done, and the prices prevailing at this point since our last weekly statement. On Friday, March 20th, buyers were pi evented from purchasing by the hi^h prices demanded by sellers, who were holding at ratJB above the quota? tions warranted by other market-;.

On Saturday factors generally refused to lo iver their rates, and while tho limited optrations were at rather easier prices, hilders in most instances were unwilling to meet the views of purchasers, and the transactions were restri ted to 153 bales, quota? tions bein;; somewhat nominal; say 2??23c. ft. for Ordinary to Good Ordinary ; 24c. lorLowMid dlinc; 25c. for Middling, and 25j .'c. r1. ft. for Strict Middling Cotton.
