BAGGAGE 'I'MIri, T" THE GREAT REVULSION, i The Great Revulsion of 1 85 7 has spent its force, and is henceforth to be regarded as a tornado of yesterday. There will, of course, be more failures, for many really insolvent houses which have thus far avoided prostration through skillful and assidious financiering, Bank favor and non-maturity of their obligations, must ultimately succumb; but, for the most of the community, the worst is over. There are fewer mills, forges, furnaces and laborers now idle than there were two mouths ago ; there will be fewer a month hence than there are now ; and we may confidently look for still further improvement Unless precluded by an absurd reouirenicnt that as high money wages will be paid for labor in 1858 as when everything else but labor was thirty to fifty per cent, dearer, there is no reason why any able and willing; laborers should stand idle after Spring shall have fairly opened. Let it only be clearly understood that ten shillings in January, 1858, is equal to fourteen shillings in January, 185 7, and that the laborer in any capacity who receives ten dollars now for the service that commanded twelve dollars a year ago, is actually bettor paid now than they were then, and all may be easily adjusted. He who remains idle now because ho cannot obtain so many dollars for a week's labor as he did a year ago, is deserving neither of sympathy nor of better fortune. There are and ever were miserly and griping employers, lenders, capitalists ; but it is no hardship to work for twenty-five per cent lees money, with flour, sugar, pork, &c, at their present prices, than was received when the chief necessaries of life bore the price of twelve months ago. The real cause of our late disasters were, as we have already indicated, these : I Excessive Trade. It is plausibly assorted that there was in June last one merchant for every twentyfive families in the United States, while one to a huuddred families would surely have been a large abundance. In other words, four times the needed proportion of our population was abstracted from Productive Industry to fill the necessary unproductive function of exchanging the fruits of our labor. As traders are usually men of more than average capacity, here was an enormous and wasteful subtraction from the productive power of the Nation. ... II. Excessive Speculation. To buy an article and hold it for the satisfaction of prospective wants, is not necessarily detrimental. It would be well if Fifty Millions of capital were this month invested in the purchase of Hay, Corn, and Wheat, to be held over to meet the wants of future years. But when a large portion of the community desert the (juiet vale of Industry for the dizzy peaks of Speculation when they invest in Paper Cities and uninhabited lands, not their limited savings but their unbounded promises to pay when they build or buy tor themselves costly mansions, and indulge in fast horses, costly equipapages and sumptous living, on the strength of the fortunes they

will have when their corner-lots shall have been sold and the sums due on sales already made of corner-lots shall have been realized then is that community on the high road to ruin. The country is to-day, though rich in Grain, miserably poor in Cattle and Sheep, because tens of thousands who should have bred them extensively, have been living in cities and villages engrossed in land or kindred speculations, and only consuming the beef or mutton they should have helped to produce. . Whole States are this hour impoverished by their insufficiency of the domestic animals needed to consume their Hay and Grain. . . HL Excessive Debt and Credit On this point, we need not enlarge. Every man's experience is eloquent with regard to it. Almost everybody who is anybody either owes debts which "he cannot pay, or has sums owing to him that he cannot collect often both. We have seen an estimate of One Hundred and Fifty Millions as the aggregate of losses by mercantile failures during the year commencing with July last We believe this an enormons understatement ; yet the mercantile debt is but a flea-bite to the aggregate infernal indebtedness of the country that is or soon will be past due and unliquidated. One" Thousand Millions of Dollars would be short of the total amount. And not half of this will ever be paid. , ' , . IV. Excessive Importation. We will not here expatiate on this head. Our columns have long teemed, and will still teem with Let us here only record protest against the paltry suggestion that, since we can only pay what we have, the goods imported in excess must be (through bankruptcies) a clear gain to this country. That suggestion is as mistaken in economy as the chuckle usually accompanying it is unsound in morals. No person, no community, ever really profited by insolvency. They who sell ns the goods may lose ; but we, who pauperize and debase our own laborers who should have found subsistence and thrift in producing them, do not gain. Had we, on the contrary, given employment to our own people through this hard Winter in making the metals and fabrics for which we are now defaulters to Europe, it would have been far better for us and for mankind. We are poorer for the constrained idleness of this season of. disaster, not merely by the vast amount which the idle might have earned, but by the bad habits, the love of idleness, the willingness to eat unearned bread, to which this paralysis of Industry has degraded them.1 All the gold of California would not atone for their demoralization. N. Y. Tribune. : : . . , , BLINDixSTITUTE. ' . We have received the Eleventh Annual Report of the Trustees for the Education of the Blind, from which we learn that the expenses of the Institution for the year 185 7 were $25,597 89 (including $6,000 for Sinking Fund loan), and there was received $2,229 88 for work done by the pupils, and $983 22 from ad-' vances made by counties for pupils' clothiofi. The actual expenses above receipts were $14,675 96. The expenses for 1858 are estimated at $4,300. Since the 1st of February, 1859, Dr. James Mc Workman has been the Superintendent of the Institute, and the Trustees say they have found in him all the requisite qualifications for that position that he is zealous and energetic in the discharge of his duties, and that he has introduced into the establishment a healthy economy which must result in the saving of several thousand dollars annually to the State. There are in the Institute sixty-three pupils, six of whom graduated at the close of the bite term. The officers and teachers for the ensuing year are as follows; Dr. Jas. Mc Workman, Superintendent, salary $800; Granville M. Ballard, Principal Male Teacher, salary $400; Miss Eliza W. Bowman, Teacher in Female Department, salary $200; Mrs. Juliette MeWorkman, Matron, salary $300; Miss Lucinda M.' Morley, Teacher of Music, salary $300 all with board in the Institute. ; In his report to the Trustees, Dr. Mc Workman.

speaks of the difficulties under which the Institution labored when he took charge of it, and denounces in just terms the efForts of certain "outsiders," who have their tools among the employees, to produce a spirit of mutiny and insubordination within. During the year there has been no death or even serious case of illness within the Asylum. He urges that more attention should be paid to the elementary and less to the higher branches of education. A good English education, with thorough instructions in music, he argues, will be the most beneficial to the pupils. The male pupils are generally taught the art of making brooms, brushes, willow work, &c. The females have heretofore been mostly employed in fancy bead work, but as this species of work possesses no utility, Dr. Mc Workman urges the introduction of other em- . ployments for the female pupils. He thinks the manufacture of palm leaf hats would be the most suitable and profitable. , He also urges the establishment of shops for the permanent employment of the blind after they graduate.. The buildings are much out of repair, and the heating apparatus introduced some years ago is an entire failure. New Albany Ledger. Big Oyster-Bed: The State of Virginia contains in its bays, rivers and creeks not less than 2,000 square miles, or 1,270,000 acres of oyster-beds. Allowing one-tenth of a bushel to every square yard, it can boast of 619,520,000 bushels of oysters, enough to give all creation one ample oyster pie ' "The Proud Bird of Jove." The Petersburg (Va.) Intelligencer relates the incident of an eagle alighting in the yard of of a farmer in Prince George County, a few days since, and unrlprtokino- to carrv

A Heavy Stock Operation. At the , Stock Board in Boston, on Wednesday, three shares of the once famous Vermont Central Railroad were offered for sale, and brought one cent per share. .', It was not a " time contract," but for cash on delivery. : Tub Saints. A Utah correspondent of the New Orleans Picayune says : " One Bishop (Johnson by name) has for wives four sisters, his own nieces. Another saint has his own half-sister, and another a mother and her. daughter for wives. Of the truth of these statements there is no room whatever for doubt. A Watery Joke. During the last dry spell,

a very raw backwoodsman, just down from his

native wilds to see city sights, was standing on a

corner all agape just as a watering-machine broke loose and began to squirte its fluid contents to

allay the dust. The backwoodsman thought that the cask had sprung a sudden and unpremeditat

ed leak without the knowledge and connivance of

the driver, who was riding along and taking no notice of what the water was doing behind his back, so he sang out: "Say stranger! your water's all a wastin' out o' that bar'l." The "stranger" took no notice of this information, and the machine kept on delivering, which caused the rustic to remark: " I hat 'ere man won't get nary drop o' that water home if it keeps a squirtin' out that way. He must be a fool." , , ;' iCsr Jones has discovered the respective natures of a distinction and difference. He says that "a little difference" frequently makes many enemies, while "a little distinction" attracts hosts

of friends to the one on whom it is conferred.

M3T "This is George the Fourth," said an

exbibiter of wax-work, pointing to a slim figure. " I thought he was a very stout man."

" Very likely ; but if you'd been here without

victuals halt so long as he has, you u been twice

as thin."

A lady at sea, in a gale of wind, being full of apprehension, cried out : " We shall

go to the bottom mercy on us, how my head swims!" "Madam," said a sailor, "you'll never go to the bottom while your head swims!" " &3T "Do you know the prisoner, Mr. Jones 1" "Yes, to the bone." "What is his character?" "Didn't know he had any." "Does he live near you?" "So near that he has only spent five shillings for fire-wood in eight years." , J3f The following question is now before the

band Lake Debating Society : "Which do women like the best to be hugged in a polka, or squeezed in a sleigh?" We shall issue the decision in an extra. . ' . "If we are to live after death, why don't we have some certain knowledge of it?" said a skeptic to a clergyman. "Why don't you have some knowledge of this world before you come into it?" was the caustic reply. . JSovel Idea of Heaven. An Indian was late

ly hung in Texas for the murder of a child.

When on the scaffold he said he was going to

Arkansas and wished the other Indians to send

his gun to him after he should get there. ' !

That's So. Why is an editor like the Book

of Revelation ? Because he is full of " types and shadows, " and a mighty voice, like the

sound of many waters, is ever, saying to him, "Write." . . &3T To find out whom a child loves, make it a present, and notice to whom it is most eager to show that present, exultingly. To find out whom a woman hates, do exactly the same thing.

SST" An indolent boy, being asked by his teacher, "who came latest to school ?" replied: "Indeed, sir, I cannot say, for I did not get here early enough to see." W A printer, insetting up, "We are but parts of a stupendous whole," by mistake of a letter made it read, "We are but parts of a stupendous whale."

3F At a colored ball, the following notice was posted on the door-post: "Tickets fifty cents. No gemmen admitted unless he comes himself." S3T The ladies say they are opposed to stopping the males on the Sabbath, especially in the evening, unless they stop at their homes. jCS"Snoring is the spontaneous escape of those malignant feelings which the sleeper has not time to vent when awake. &3T The moon's pale beam, that "ttole softly through the half-closed casement, " has been committed to answer.
