From the very nature of things oar present traJe in tim ber, lumber and natal stores, cannot be very raach in- creased, and must ercntaallj fall off large!, if it does not cease altogether. We know that the country in the neighborhood of available water-courses is rapid ly becoming cleared of timber, and that in fact ere- ryrafk which is brought down diminishes to some -extent the stock of the article upon which the trade is based. The process of diminution is slower in the ease of natal stores, but it is equally sure ; nay, the tery prosperity of the country, by increasing the pop ulation, and consequently the amount of cleared land most gradually eat into any business founded main ly upon the prodacta of trie Forest.

Fortunately for Wilmiflgtori7these questions are easily answered. The coal from the Deep Riter, the cotton and other commodities which the Manchester Road will eertainly bring from South Carolina, and the increased amount of agricultural produce from the regions with which we already trnde, afford an easy and pleasant solution of both. The effect will be good. L?t us take the county of Edge combe for an illustration. Some years since land in A l. - 4 i .

But no sudden transition need be feared or expect ed. The Manchester Road will bring within reach of market a large amount of Virgin Turpentine land in Columbus and Bladen counties, and perhaps some little in Robeson, which have heretofore had no outlet, to say nothing of the bordering Districts of Marion ami Horry ; and as this land becomes cleared of its trees it will be cultivated in cotton, as we learn that many of the South Carolina planters pronounce much of the land excellent for that purpose, and indicate a disposition to go into the culture upon it. The Deep River Improvement will also bring a Irtrgo tract of timber land into market, some of it excellent for ma king turpentine, and some for getting staves. It is therefore plain that although no very great increase can take place in our present business founded upon the products of the forest, no sudden diminution or stoppage need be expected, but rather the reverso for a considerable length of time. Still the fact is un deniable that it must eventually fall off heavily, and that we must be prepared f,r the change.

The cotton crop, too, w ith the most fa vorable circumstances yet to come, will be very scant. We will state, for the mortification of the farmers in this region, that we heard (Jen. l)owes say, the other day, that 1000 pounds of seed cotton to acre had already been picked from a portion of his plantation near Monroe, and that liisoverseer thought there would bo 1,000 pounds to the acre more pick ed.

The case has not been decided but tho court has expressed the following opinion : lho court is in doubt if tho custom ot the banks not to correct a mistake, unless discovered before the party leaves the bank, can be sustained they would Jxpect their dealers to pay them back any over pay ment, but tins suit is not against the bank, hut against tho enshier, who acted also as paying teller, and tho question is, if he had appropriated plaintiffs money to his own use, or in receiving the $1,000 he conducted so negligently that the plaintiff sustained damage.

Now, however, wo find our idea plainly expressed by leading English journals. The London Daily News, on the 25th ult., com mences a leader, anticipating the arrival of Kossuth, in the following languaco : "One of the most pleasing coincidences of modern times is the complete identity of feeling in tho Uni ted States of America and in Great Britain on the subject of the Hungarian struggle. The same hom age is paid, tho same enthusiasm kindled, in those two great divisions of the Anglo-Saxon race to the noblest stand made for liberty in modern times acainst tyrannic powers and overwhelming force. That identity of feeling is a hopeful promise that, if tne events ot Europe should ever take such a course as to present a formidable absolutist league, threat ening the freedom of England of the west, this coun try may find in the generous breasts and strong arms oitf American brethren that disinterested and efficient alliance and support whicti for centuries we have vain I ij sought in Europe. y Ninety-five thousand dollars have been subscribed, in umo, ior a iarraers college.

A general cry lias been raised to Spain against the savage sympathisers of Lopez and his banditti. 1 hat cry is war and extermination.' The supremp government, let the dispositions which it may have adopted be what they may, must hearken to that cry ; the dovernment cannot stop its ears to the popular voice, which, by the press, roars 111 thunder throughout the land against the infamous rabble of the United States. War, then, against that race of pirates, who aim at the dominion of the whole territory of the New W orl War against these avaricious traders, who aim to snatch Cuba from us. War, Extermination, and Butchery! against those ungrateful cowards, who have traitorously endeavored to wound the generous heart ot Spain. No more tolerance; no more doubt; no useless vas dilations. We present to the consideration of our government the following propositions : That war be officially declared against the Repub lic of W ashington. That our diplomatic agents be recalled from the Uni ted States. That passports be given to the American Ambassa dors. That all Spanish vessels be armed, as privateers, and that letters of marque be granted to those of other na tions who desire them. That the people will rise as one man and offer to the Government the support of their resources and arms.

Some one writes from Montgome- ry, Alabama, as toiiows. we quote tromtne;viobue Tribune : " Tho plank roads building from thoeity, and the manufacturing spirit evinced in Borne quarters, are admirable ingredients in her progressive spirit. Tho effect of these plank roads in conducting trade to a place like thisis inconceivable. Four small mules drew easily in the other day sixteen bales of cotton, and the planter said he intended in his next load to haul in twenty 8 to 10,000 pounds. These roads will be found to be really less costly I believe to the people, than their execrable county roads, for the time they are required to work on them laid out ju diciously would build the road in the first place, and the travel over them by persons of other states or counties, would more than keep them up. This econ omy is well understood in Kentucky and Tennessee. They build fine turnbikes. and strangers (who can- not be called on to keep them in order) pay for them and their repairs."

Mr. Abbott Lawrence gives way to s very catural intinct when he makes a pilgrimage to the hearths and the altars that feed the United States. The American who stands on the quays at Xe-Yrk x vailbumaiLtile pouring ia at the- rate of a thout-an l a day to swell tne numbers, the wealth, and the power of his country. He sees that it was the direst necessity which drove them from the land of their fathers, and he recognises in that " nf-cesMty the providential means by which the tast continent of North America should be added to th dominion of man. He hears the sad tale of immi grants, and sees it too generally confirmed by their miseraoie aspecs. ms own pomicai jMera wui na turally be with the supposed victims of tyrannical laws and aristocratic extortion. On further ac quaintance with these hapless refugees his interest cannot but increase, for ne finds them affectionate and hopeful, genial and witty, industrious and inde- pendent in fact, the element ot which great nations are made. Hence the desire to see that strange re gion of the earth where such a people was produced and coujd not stay an island the misfortunes of which are destined to form so conspicuous a feature in American story. The terrible incidents of the last six years not to go further back will be the domestic traditions of half the American people, and me ureauiui scenes 01 lever anu limine, wuicn nave so often shocked our readers, will pass from father to son for many generations on the banks of the Mis sissippi, or the chores of the Pacific. It is this nurse ry of citizens, this seed plot of transatlantic States, tni great human preserve that Mr. Lawrence ia now exploring, as we think with as natural a curios ity as if he had sought, with the crowd, the ancient seats of science and art, and were measuring the Acropolis of Athens, or the rorum of Rome. His excellency has too much respect for this coun try, and too just a sense of his position, to let the Irish see how an American cannot but regard them. He knows very well that they are all his own fellow citizens in ernbryo, and that every Celt will one day renounce the sceptres and coronets of the older world. It is better for all parties, perhaps, that it should be so, little as we may like to ace' our society, our laws, and our sovereigns the object of indifference. Mr. Abbot Lawrence says nothing of all this. Tho Irish flock to an American minister as to an angel from heaven, for if he is curious to see the place the Irish come from, they are equally curious to seo "arnran fromrnrtcitThe goal of alttheir hopes and expectations. They have set their face towards America, and as men on a march see chiefly those who arc before them, on the spot which they will the next moment tread themselves, so the new world is every year tho more vivid, and the old world more faint in the Irish imagination. Hence it is that Mr. Lawrence finds himself received with almost the ho nors of royalty. Railway directors and corporations give him special trains, banquets, and addresses, and every city prepares an ovation. What can Lord Clarendon, with the very best intentions, offer to compare with the sympathies of a man whose coun try has welcomed a million of Irishmen in the last four years The railway companies have a special interest in theso civilities. They have just been completed in time to convey the aboriginees of Ire land to the ports where they take leave of their country. Strange to say, they derive a fleeting pros perity from depopulation and despair. So, at Gal way, Mr. Abbott Lawrence is eagerly laid hold of a a patron of the plan for making that city a transat lantic packet station and an emigrant depot. At Cork it may bo supposed that similar expectations have helped the enthusiasm evoked by an arrival of an American minister. Mr. Lawrence, however, to his credit, speaks only of such a communication as might be supposed to exist between two equally spreading and equally increasing nations. He deli cately nvoids any allusion to that uniform onward movement vestigia nxdla-r dorsum from Ireland to the opposite shore. In tho face of facts, it certainly required all the force of politeness in an American Minister, stand ing at Galway or at Cork, to wish happiness for the insti in tneir own country, ana to poini oui me na tural resources by which six million, eight million, ten million, or even fifteen million people could bo sustained in Ireland. The prosperity and happiness he speaks of may some day reign over that beautiful- - land. Its lertile soil, its rivers and lakes, its water power, its minerals, and other materials for tho wants and luxuries ot man, may ono day beaeveiop ed ; but all appearances arc against the belief that this will ever happen in the days of the Celt. That tribe will soon fulfil the ercat law of Providence which seems to enjoin and reward the union of races . It will mix with the Anglo American, and be known no more as a jealous and separate people. Its pres ent place will be occupied by the more mixed, more docile, and more serviceable race, which has long borne the yoke of sturdy industry in this island, which can Submit to master and obey the law. mis is no longer, a dream, for it is a fact now in progress, and every day more apparent. No kind wishes, no legislative measures can stay the exodus of a people who have once found the path from intolerable degra dation to comfortable and dignified independence. . Even if the rulers of this country should change their mind, and resolve not to let the people go, that resistance would only add another impetus to the movement. As the Irish have clung together at home, so will they cling together in their wander ings. That at least is what they do now. It is scarcely possible to suppose Mr. Abbot Lawrence blind to what passes before his eyes, and we can on ly admire the dexterous politeness with which be expresses his sympathy and his hope for the Irish, with scarcely a hint at their flight from the land of their fathers to the country of which he is the representative. Highest Point in Iowa. The Dubuque Herald says that the most elevated point m Iowa is the Co teau dos Prairies, ar the north-west corner of the State. It is only 1414 feet above the tide water. From this point the country declines to the south-west to the Missouri, and to the south-east to tne Missis sippi.
