State Chronicle. The tortoise of fable, who supposed the world to be bounded by his horizon, was not more mistaken than are many good people living in the lloanoke valley, when they suppose that this valley is now, ever has been, or ever can be the Fgypt of America. There is one county in Il linois which makes more corn than every t.rm lvinr nn the Roanoke from Weldon to Plymouth makes now, or ever has made. And not ouly that, it manes moic than every lloanoke county from the Falls to the Sound. Were it possiDie that so great a calamity could befall the lloanoke section that not one bushel of corn could be made, how much, think you, would the price be advanced in Chicago? l'robabiy not one icum oi uuu cent per bushel.

L F.mry, Sole Agent, IT is said that bei r is going up. llwught it generally went down. nii ttiu f this query a very pretty theory, but it is lutr V n rti(iHtf thnrv. The theorizcr'a idea was that if the flood could be confined limits the weight ot the water W uiii " (i t and the swiftuc-s of the current. that is the momentum of the flood would carry everything before it. Now if the Roa noke was straight tins woum proo io7 u.. thc result, at least as far as s.md burs are .,..,...r.,il hut it. is far Irom being straight; in fact, like most rivers, u is very crooked, some ot toe oenus ueing r,,.rt',.ct horse shoes in shape. All sub jects, whether solid or liquid a cannon hall or a body ot water io which mo mentum has been communicated, have a ior,,.,i,nv to mnvp in straight lines. So that at every bend in tne river uiu ioiu of the stream is expended on one of the banks, which is, in consequence, maun constaLt'y worn away. The clay being readily soluble is carried an indefinite distance, but the sand is soon urop.cu and goes to form bars. This is no mere .I,-,. f..r the fact has been over and over again established that during every freshed the sand ba:s are raised from six inches to one and a half feet, and that as the water falls the erosion of the banks almost entirely ceases and the sand on the bars is gradually washed and distrib uted over the bed of the river. Let us see if the diking is a matter of State concern. To treat the Roauokc farmers astho national government treats the manufacturers that is, tax the State c. i a. in t.nriuiKn nf benefiting these 1..1 mi. oiiv farmers is a Hung tne Mate woumuevc. ,nK,...t to But if it could be sliown that for a reasonable amount, say one fourth tin taxable value of the farms ly in" on th ' river, dikes could be con structed on both sides and near tho banks sufficiently strong to withstand the high est freshets, tho S ate might embark in the enterprise. And well it might, for with such embankments mere i iuhu.j a farm immediate'y on the river the val ue of which would uot be doubled.
