The wet clays arejuow workable, and on drier soils the hind tarns up well. Tho young . wheats vre! looking exceedingly well, and the latejr sowiugs are coming through the ground with an" abundance of plant. So far jprospeclB for production in the cur renj; cereal year are fairly good, both in EnsBand and on the Xontiuent . of Eu- mpja ; bat there isjin area not yet seed cd,j thpdiiueusions of which are not yets ascertained, which must lorm an imimrtant feature in all estimates of the valne of present daca in connection with prospects for the harvest. There is now no nest ion whatever as to the fact of the, 'world's surplus of marketable bread stufis being more than equal to the con sumptive requirements of England for the year 183'.' -'81, and the only thing that keeps juices at their present level Isille paucity of supplies on the spot at the im ttieiata present. The United State$ has ii surplus of wheats, which has recently been officially estimated as being about 4,0(10,000 qrs. in excess of last year! and stocks in sight jare now increasingj to a marked extent loth a the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards. Up to the commence ment of the past Week I hear that specu lation ha3 bcent active in - the United Staies, but Jthere has not been the faint- cst Indication of a disposition to invest on the part of the Ikitish ( rade.

Will you allow mcjyiace to siy a word ou this question, which is creating such a stir at this time. I am ouly interested directly in the matter as a tax-payer, and I think I have formed my opinion impar tially ; and if your premises are correct (and I presume they are), your conclu sions cauuot be far wrong. If I uuder-i stand the position, it is this: Tho State's; frtock of $3,000,000 is mortgaged for the! redemption of $2,000,000 of bonds, withj some $000,000 accrued interest. These! Inuids are "now, or soon will be, due and the holders of these bonds propose to ex-j change them for new bonds, bearing thq same interest as the old ones, and ruu niug 40 years throw ing away the $G00,-j 000 of interest which has accrued. This is tiie position as.I understand it. Now, you are in favor of accepting tins' proposition (iTUo better-can be obtained) aud so am I, rather than for the State to surrender her stock for tho bonds ; and for this reason : As long as the lease of the North Caro lina to tho Richmond and Danville roajl lasts (some 17 or IS years, I believe,) thb State will get $24,000 aLimally, iu excesk of what she pays out to tlie bondholders!, ajfid it is quite safe to calculate that the lease can be continued, until the bonds fall due, on the same or better terms. Supposing this supposition to be cor rect, let us see how mutters will stand at the expiration of 40 years. If the Statu can fund this $24,000, as it is paid into thie treasury, iu bonds bearing 0 per ccut. in terest, it will, in 40 years, amount to th'e the neat little sum of $3,714,300, or $1, 114,300 more than the bonds 'she will be called upon to redeem at that time. But supposing she eau only fund at 4 percent, the amount then would be $2,700,204, or $190,204 more than the bonds, aud lea ina her still with her $3,000,000 of stock free. ' ' , ' - j Taking this view of the question I a in for accepting the proposition tf the bond holders, provided no better terms can lie obtained from them. It looks supremely ridiculous to me to hear people talkinjg about placing these const ruction bonds on the same footing as other bonds of the State. That might do if then was ho mortgage iu the way.

I I'" Wejrad in the Old rTestaraent that "Absalom n his lifetime had taken and reared up for hibiself a pillar which is iu the king's dale." This, with the exception of Absalom's tomb which is still pointed out in the Val ley of Jehoshaphat, is supposed to be the only monument evjer erected to perpetuate the raemorv of that self conceited, effeminate aud spoiled son oj David. There is another pillar which Absalom reared with his own hands, and which still stands just as he left it, "to keep his name in remem brance." His entire life was spent in building it, having commenced it in childhood, and completed it only at death. Gradually it (was built up, and it will remain to the end of all time: for pillars 'built iof such lasting materials never crumble: in decay. Of course, you cannot exprct to see tins wonderful pillar; tneielore I shall endeavor to describe it to your imagi nation, that you may learn profitable lessons from it. Fancy a tall obelisk,: or four-sided pillar, like those, to be seen in any cem etery, only much larger; and made all of one piece, standing upon a broad pedestal called its base! Then, as in all monuments, there tnust be letters cut deep in the stone on each side. The first which we will look at dis plays the figure of a tall and most handsome man, with long bushy hair falling over his shoulders in great abundance. It is anointed with oil and powdered with grid dust, - which give it additional charms according to the tastes and customs of the age. Un derneath yon can fancy vou see the ; - following words cut deep in the hard stone, and red., as if they had just been painted with blood 1 Is "Absalom was a favorite son of Da vid, the King of Ibrael. He was in dulged in every bi palace could afford, abundance, many fr banquets at pleasure. ly admired by his father's subjects, but was revengeful and treacherous. He invited his frtcnd$ to a great fta?t, and when all were drunk with wine, commanded his menj, whom he hail appointed for the evil deed, to slay his brother, tlie special object of his hatred." The next side rep -escnts the same tall figure standing i t the gate of a great city, surrounded ; with chariots and horses and a company of fifty men to serve him. Then beneath are words like these : "Absalom, the .deceitful, treacher ous betrayer of his fall her, full of cun ning and stratagem, who stood by the gale, and when any ijiait came near to b v to him, put fortlj his hand, took h ld of him, and kissel him; th n a xUry which He had gold in 1 i lends, ana Held ile was great- A not 1 hi A the top of the fourth side ap pears this great army Jed on by the same tall figure, riding upon a mule, aijd pressing hard after a small band of- mjen, who followed an old man as h fled from the city of Jerusalem, 'arefoot" and weeping, and all his fo! Io wers weeping. Underneatiryoa can fancy you see these words ; "Absalom's army fought against his lather's loyal followers by the woods of Ephraim, but the Lord, the God f David, fought against Absalom, and his army was defeated and broken up, twenty 'thousand men were slain, and the wood devoured more people than the sword, and Absalom himself fled, riding upon a mule: for he saw that the battle was sore' against him, and the Lord had caused his sin to find him out." Next appears the same tall figure hanging in the branches of an oak by the hair of his head, of which he had been so vain, with a crowd of men around him, and one of them in the act of stabbing him to ihe heart with a dart which he holds in his hand, with these words following: "Let us not fight against God." On the base of the pillar you may see the appearance of a great heap of stones, and the words : - "They took Absalom and cast him into a great pit in the wood, and laid livery great heap of stones upon him." Such is a view of the pillar of Ab salom's character which he built up by his wicked acts in life, without a sin gle word of good to be said about him, except that he was a very handsome man, with luxuriant and bushv hair. And God has left his character stand ing asa monument tothe world, that young and old may remember that tlie violation of God's commandments will certainly bring punishment, and especially that. lie who dishonors his parents cannot expect to escape the awful consequences of his crime, but may come to a premature death, and shall certainly lie in a dishonored gtave. On the other hand, if a char acter of good deeds is built up, it will last through ages o the honor of him who reared it. God's Word tells us that "the righteous shall be in ever lasting rememberance, but the name of the wicked shall rot." -a n . . .... a curious Combat. Col. A.
