Tho following, from tho St. Lonis Democrat, will be rend by our com? mercial ffionda with moro than ordi? nary interest. It is a subject worthy of serious reflection, to bo road at? tentively and pondered over with moro than ordinary care: Tho country laughs with an abun? dant harvest. Throughoutthe great? er purt of Illinois, this State, and Kansas, tho crop already partly ' harvested has been very large; tho i promise of tho crop not yet gathered ' in, not only in these States, but to tho Northward, is very bright; und from tho South and East all reports concur in representing tho yield as exceedingly abundant. Famine is no longer feared. Speculators in grain count their losses, and con- j somers already rejoico in a fall of ? prices, The country is richer already, j and feels it. Some estimate that the ?rpp of 18G7 alone would more than half pay the national debt. It is not merely in tho actual in? crease of wealth that this bountiful harvest will do good. It will inako lifo easier for all laborers and con? sumers. To the poorer classes, espe? cially, the abundance of provisions, bringing low prices, will bo peculiar? ly grateful. But this ia not all. Agriculture is tho basis of all our prosperity. When this fails, every? thing stagnates. The blood in all the veins and arteries of business dows feebly. With a bountiful bar- ; vest, it bounds gladly through tho I pulses, fresh, vigorous and full of life, the strength returns, and activi? ty becomes a necessity. Millions of dollars havo been locked up waiting for this harvest. Busi? ness of all kinds has waited ; enter? prise of the utmofi'. importance has been checked; financial depression has prevailed; Mr. McCulloch has looked gloomy, and tho receipts from internal revenue have fallen off near ly forty per cent. Everybody was sailing under closo canvas, expecting a squall. The storm cloud has pass? ed. Tho Wall street barometer, with rising stocks, predicted fair weather. The sky is clear again, and overy one feels that business must now revive. Confidence, thc parent of prosperity, returns. Tho fanner re? ceives a handsome snm, and puts no small part of it into circulation at once. Tho money starts machinery that had stood idle; revives trade that had been dormant. The crop, once harvested, must bo moved and manufactured; tho great army of people engaged in transport? ing from producer to consumer, or preparing the food for consumption, already anticipato a brisk business. Prices fall, and profits now become possible in many branches of business . that Imvo stagnated because of the cost >f living. So the magic in tinonee extends through all the articles and veins of trade and commerce, just ns tho sunny glow of the rich wino dances through tho blood, oven to the lips of the fingers, until every part of tho body feels thc genial stimulus. And we only hope that the country, instead of bending its new energies to the the work of in? creased production, may hot rush wildly into speculation. Interview with tue Pienldciit. | "Mack," tho correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, hos has an othor interview with tho President. We extract from his letter the follow? ing, giving the President's views ns to political parties: The President expressed tho fear that the work of restoring tho Union would suffer from tho combinations and plans for the next Presidency, already in a state of formation. As far as he was concerned, he said, he had no ambition for another term, and was not, and never had boen, a candidate for re-election. "lam not seeking any nomination, but I want all tho friends I can got to help mo save the country, and I don't caro what party they come from. Before I sent my first merengo to Congress, 1 told all tho Republicans who called upon mo that if they would go to work and get tho States back into the Union, and restore harmony and good feeling between tho two sec? tions, I Would give them a bond in any sum they could name never to ask for an ollice and never to hold ono again. 1 told them then what 1 think now-that, aside from tho higher consid?rations of patriotism and public dury*, ns a mere question of party expediency, they ought to do this. I said to them that tho youth was whipped; that the people felt they had boon put down by tho arbiter of their own selection, and were ready to accept thc situation in good faith; and that if tho Re? publican party of tho North would , deal fairly and generously with them, it could bo assured of twenty years of power with tho South-its friends. I told them that these States must come back somehow, and it was for them to say whether as friends or as enemies of the dominant party of tho North. If there were an}' rebels in the South, tho Republican party could have conquered them by tho course I suggested. That was clear to my mind tuen, and it is moro so now." Concerning the Democratic party of tho North, he said some Demo? crats were very reasonable, others very unreasonable, in their demands of him. Some wanted him to give all the offices to Democrats; others didn't ask anything of thc kind. Some insisted on his changing his Cabiuet and doing everything to snit them. "If I had taken all tho advice that's boen given to mo. I don't know where I should have been by this time. Ono set of men will come in and lay down a plan, which thoy think will do a great deal of good. They'll go out, and iu will como another set, equally confident iu an entirely diff?rent plan. I am always glad to get advice, but some mon get mad at mo because I don't take it. They don't appear to understand how difficult it is formo to soe things from tho same stand-point with them sometimes. They arc outside, as it were, and can t bc expected to see all tho bearings as I do. But they'll como here and storm and fret at me because I won't let them tako charge of me, and do the whole business. Now, whilo I am here, I don't intend to bo taken charge of by anybody. I intend to do what's right, as nearly j as I can get at it, and I won't shirk tho consequences that may arise ? from that course. I can't please I everybody, and it's no uso trying. It's all very well to get advice, and II am thankful for it always, but the I responsibility for acting upon it falls upon me, so I must be the judgo. " A BOY KILLED UNDEU CHAKTISE i MENT nv HIS FATHER.-On Saturday i evening, a son of Andrew Jackson, ; who resides at Centro Hill, near Hud? son City, N. .T., was charged by his mother with stealing twenty-five cents, and the father, in chastising i him, had only struck tho second ! blow, when the boy sank down and almost immediately expired. Tho boy was bmt nine years old. Thc grief of tho father is intenso at thc , fatal result* of what lie intended for thc boy's reformation. NoiiTH OAIIOLLNA.-O ur sister Sta te, ! os well M our own, is Buffering terri? bly from tho destitution in several j localities. Tho Assistant Commis- ! sioner of the Bureau writes to Gen. j Howard as follows: "Thero is a class of persons in this > State who aro tho innocent sufferers ; of tho Inte war, and whose condition is deplorable, and who are the objects of great pity. These are the poor white women and children left widows and orphans, their fathers, husbands and brothers having been killed or crippled during tho rebellion. They aro counted by thousands, and aro now living on charity, and the future presents no brighter prospects for them; they must live in idle .ess and want for tho remainder of their lives, or until capital and enteprise are brought to this State. Here thero is no employment for thom. Hundreds have gone into tho iields and endea? vored to earn enongh to sustain life, but their feeble constitutions soon break down under the burning sun. j If this class of people wcro in any of ? our manufacturing towns in Now England, they could bo ennobled to j a sphere of usefulness, and enjoy all i the comforts of life, and at tho snfno ; time give to their children advan- ? tagos of education, wliich are denied | in their present position. If em? ployment could bo guaranteed them in any part of the country, this bu? reau would furnish them with trans? portation, aud they would gladly leave those scenes of want and sor- ( row." .x^AND-IN EQUITY. airs.
