Editorial Correspondence.

ClHCfXXATf. Ohio,)

I March 17th, 1858.

Dear Union: A former letter was concluded with my arrival at Louisville, a city with which I was certainly very much disappointed. I had always imagined it to lw one of the moat beautiful places in the West, and expected, in addition to it* natural beauties—if the term may he applied to a city—to find it, ev rv respect, a model of neatness and cleanlioeas, bat in this latter expectation, perhaps more than in any other, lie* thi disappointment I experienced during a slroll through some of it# principal streets. The streets were all in a very bad condition, and in no place could bo seen any indication of even an attempt on the part of the public authorises to keep them in a respectable condi tion. In Giid respect, thon, as well as in ra.iny other?, Louisville is far behind Cin cionati, where a large force is constantly employed in cleaning the streets and removing the dirt that accumulates from day to day. There arc some very fine baildings there, but in that respect too this city IM

far in the advance. Iu fact there is no place in the West that is so fast improving in heanty, as well as otherwise, as is Cincinnati.

The towns along the river between thw city and Louisville arc not very inviting nor flourishing in appearanco. The largest of them is your would-be rival, Madi*on, which has some natural advantages and disadvantages, the latter of which, however, are considerably the greater. The city is surrounded on three sides by high hills, and is consequently so situated as 1 preclude ih# possibility of its ever becoming much larger than it now is. Its site, too, is somewhat uuoven, though not so much so but that it might have been materially improved by proper grading, which sec ins to have been overlooked by the authorities of tho place. The lauding is a very line one for a placo of that size. The iildings, so far as my observation extended, are inferior to those of your city.— Taking all things into consideration, I think Madison statul* a by no means favorablo comparison with the Prairie City, either in business apj-earance or natural beauty. The scenery along the Ohio Rivor is very beautiful, and a trip like this, in a pleasant season of tho year, upon one of the splendid packet steamers of tho Cincinnati aud Louisville line, is indeed a treat.

Things begin to look qnilo lively in this city, owiug to tho opening of tho Spring trade otherwise there is nothing of material importance transpiring. Tho amuse ments of tho city nro uot as good as usual. The two theatres aro running pieces in which there is no attraction other than their stock companies can furnish. A specimen of the 'horse opera,' called the "Merchant's Steed of Syracnso," is the nightly attraction at tho New National. It is a kind of a nondescript production created by a sort of graftow of the equestrian and spectacular the play of "Damon and Pythias." Tho bills of Wood's Theatre herald the production of a fonr aet drama, adapted from one of Oobb's novels, entitled the "Pioneer Patriot,*' winch has the usual quota of "blood and thunder." It is, however, a pretty good piece, of its kind, and was very well presented. There aro no other amusements In the city at present worthy of note, and that may be for the reason that there is always calm before a storm. That which now appears tipon the musieal horixon is the expected visit of Yicnxtemps and Thai berg, who will give two of their oelefctated concerts at Smith A: Nixon's Hall, on Monday and Tuesday evenings next. I shall not be in the city ftt that time, and consequently will hate to forego the pleasure of hearing the groat pianist. T. b. i»

Letter from His S: A. Wi Hon Jo!

Minister to BerUn, to

John Law.

Baaux, Feb. 0th, 1858.

Dear Si*:—I have often made the remark to you an 1 to onr people, that there is less known, both at home and abroad, of Indiana, her capabilities and resources, than of any State of the Union. Of the truth of this fact, am more and more convinced. I am daily brought in contact with men of iutolligenoe who feel a great interest in obtaining information about our country, especially how money may be invested thero so as to bring the largest return. They wish to learn what are the most desirable portions for manufactures and trade. Questions are often put to me about the mineral resources of Indiana, and tho surprise expressed that a Bute so rich in that res poet has not taken pains to let its wealth

known to the

worldjj* A few havo heard of tho partial survey and the report thereon, made by Mr. Owens, years ago, but have not soon it—and I doubt whether yon can fiftd half a doscn copies in the State, or oven one in the State Library. I conld distribute hundreds of those Reports, imperfect as they are, with great advantage to our 8tate.-— I know tho groat interest you take, living as you do in the midst of the ooal and iron region of tho Western World, in the development of the mineral resources of Indiana, an I cannot forbear urging upon your renewed exertions in this matter. Our statesmen, our literary men, our men of wealth may come to Europe and talk of thj r96onrccs of the country, her mineral wealth, her capacities for improvement but when tho capitalist and intelligent mechanic desire to know where they shall use their capital of money or mind, where they shall establish their manufactories or locate their mining operations they wish to see the survey and report of the man of science, who cau tell them where they may certainly find remuneration for their labor, and what it shall be.

To Jcvelope the resources of a country the combined action ef capital and labor is required. Capital and labor are annually coming to our country from Europe but much too large a proportion passes directly through our State and finds its h?me and employment in Wisconsin. Illinois, Iowa and Missouri. If onr State was bettor known, if its capacities were published abroad in a manner which could command the confidence of the capitalist and the emigrant, this would not be so.

That we have mineral wealth toe know. Coal, iron, lead, zinc, building stone and slate are found in abundanco, and clays usoftil in the arts are extensively distributed. But in how great an abundance these may be found, and how profitably the cap italist may invest his means for their development, can only bo determined and made known in a manner to command the confidence of tho pnblic at homo and abroad by a careful survey under the direction of the State.

The importance of these survoys is more highly appreciated on this continent than with us. Here the necessity of developing all the resources of the country is felt, and attention is given to the snbjeci. It is this development and the wealth which necessarily comosfrom it, which enables many of these countries to maintain their position and influence in the world. Money judiciously expended in those investigations yields a sure return.

In Bavaria, with less territory than the State of Indiana, millions have been ex pended in complete geological and topographical surveys of that country, and tor a few pennies every farmer or laud o« ner can obtain a copy of tho survey of his faud, a chemical analysis of its soil, and a knowledge of the minerals which enrich it

In Belgium they are excavating coal at a depth of 1,500 to 1,800 feet below the surface working veins only 18 inches thick at an angle of 45 degrees, and this coal, too, of an inferior quality, such as wo would not uso, and in that country, notwithstanding tho amount already expended, preparations are being made for a still more thorough survey. Might not much capital thus laboriously expended bo attracted toward our rich coal fields were their existence and extent known and believod

But it is not only in the discovery and location of the mineral resources of the State that such a survey would be advantageous. It would call attention to the fact that ai) these minerals can be worked and made into manufactured articles at home instead tf being sent abroad and returned to tas at an advanced Dricc, as we keow it is now done, not only with our pig iron, sine and other metals, but even with onr walnut andi cherry. Copper is shipped from Tennessee to England and rotaraod to ns in the manufactured state at an advance of more than 200 per cent.— I believe that sinois not manufactured in any considerable quantities in the Mississippi Valley, and yet it is well known among us that it is found in neat abundance in the North-west, equal to any in the world. How profitably to our people might the money be expended in manufacturing at home the aino used among ua for painting, for roofing, telegraphing, and in the daily employments of our mechanics. But this will not be until the attention of capital is drawn to on* resources.

It may be mentioned as a striking fact* showing the extent to which we look across the water for supplies, that in South Wales and Staffordshire, England, alone, tin plates are manufactured to the amount of 900,000 boxea annually, to the value of over five millions of money, and that more than two thirds of these are exported to the United States.

Soch a surrey as ought to be made, would exhibit another thing which may

soon be of vital importance to the State coaw,lcst serrei.

a thing which oomes home—especially to farmers. It is well known that the supply of water is yearly becoming less abundant Such a survey would show where artesian wells could be sunk, from which a'mover failing supply of water could be obtained. This may be determined by the scientific man with as muoh certainty as the character of the underlying soil* A few years ago in Paris, when water was very much needed, an artesian well was sunk under the direction of scientific mon, and water was found—an everlasting fonntain—though it was after eight years of labor, and at a depth of 1,900 foot.

It is aaid that tho French in conqnoring Algiers took with them men of soience, ana as they progressed, they established villages and sunk artesian wells, finding water even in tho desert The wandering Arab exclaimed, what can we do with a people who make water rise out of the ground wherevor they please. And they conquered perhaps as muoh by the impressions made by their scientific knowledge, as by the force of their arms.

While there are many things to condemn in this country, there are also many things to admire. One thing in the management of tho State Prison in this placo has struck me with much force as worthy of imitation. While the happiness of society is sought in the punishment of crimes, the reformation of the criminal as a member of society should also be sought This can only be accomplished by uniting efforts for his reformation with his punishment in Buch way as not to destroy the effect of his sentenee. Hie punishment awarded to crime should be certain. The sentence of the law should be faithfully carried out. Indeed I have many doubts whether the pardoning power, however wisely exercised, is not productive of more injury than benefit It is said that mauy years ago in South Carolina, the Executive wheu entering upon the duties of his office, pnt in a conspicuous place no pardons granted except on evidence discovered after sentence," as the rule of conduct which he rigidly observed and it is added that there was less crime than usual, during his term of office. Pardous are seldom granted here. Every convict is kept at hard labor. A strict account is kept of the oost and profit of his work. At the expiration of this sentence a balance is struck. If he has been diligent in his work it is almost almost always in his favor. He is then required to return to the place of his conviction and endeavor to regain his character in the place where it was lost. The balance due him on account of his labor is accounted for, and paid over to him upon his producing a certificate from the tribunal by which he ,vas convicted, that he is conducting himself as a good citizen and is attentive to the wants and necessities of his family. Thus during his term of imprisonment and after his discharge an incentive is given him to be ''diligent in business"—one of tho the greatest safeguards against crime.

The Government here does everything, is everywhere. What would our people say if government monopolized all the carrying trade of all packages under a certain weight? 1 have seen passing my window, post office wagons loaded with game, fish, and other articles of food. One of the things which most astonishes an American is the nnmber of soldiers he meets, and especially the number of officers. A story is told of one the smaller countries 'vhich is amusing. Every kingdom, however small, has its standing army. It is said in that little kingdom, the number of the effective was fifty men. After the general with the staff, tho colonels, the captains, and other officers had received their commissions, one solitary soldier was left— forming the grand army of the kingdom

My letter has become too long. But when I am writing or speaking upon a subject so vital to the growth, the prosperity, and the influence of Indiana, 1 do not know when to stop. As our Republic grows in influence and interest as a nation, stretching from ocean to ocean, individual States must be thrown more and more npon their own resources. The geographical position of Indiana is commanding. We cannot change our commercial and social position in the ^Republic, as a central State. Commerce between the East and West must in all future time pass through our borders

The wish of my heart is that Indiana may attain thai commanding influence for which nature has so richly endowed her, and which hecposition points to. That she may sefan example to her sister States in removing whatever hides her Commercial, Agricultural, and Mineral resources from the eager eye of enterprise. 1 promised to write to yon and my promise is kept I said to our mutual friend Powell Howland, the model farmer of Indiana, that I would write to him upon the agriculture of this country. I hope to be able to ^fulfil this promise before many days. §3

Accept for yourself the assurance of my high regard. JOSEPH A. WRIGHT.

Re has no wife who naes sweet wdrda, Who ealia him "aiy dear" and "my honey j" Who warbles her voice like the song

Whenever—ahe wants any money. Who kisaea and hugs him and says, "my love, I want anew bonnet and dreaa And thus it goes tin till the benedict finds

He has got in a terrible mes i. :,Ar

Awl pack up and be off to the springs. And while the old bachelor's langhiag in glee. And basking in pleasure's smile, The married man is called by a voice— "My dear tako care of that child."

Then the bathelor's life is the life for me, fin this sorrow-clad sphere of ours I wish to wander untrammelled and llree

And taste earth's beautiful flowers, Let others seek to repose in bliss 'Neath the shade of the marriage tree, C, But give to me in a world liko this

A RESPONCE TO BACHELOR LIFE. DEDICATED TO NXUCV JOHSOX. You say that a bachelor's life is "merry and free,"

That his heart is not "shrouded with care Then what is the reason yon bow the knee To worship at the shrine of the fair Pray, do you expect courtship always te last,

And the summer of life to remain? Do you never rcflect that time's fleeting fast, And strength, like beauty, will wane

Grant that your life is "untrammelled and free," Thac no wife calls you 'my dear and my honey!' But what will you do when beginning to find

There's attentions not purchnscd by money! Grant no one expends either kisses or hugs, *. Or asks for a "bonnet and dress"— Yet in sickness the poet, when minus a wile, "Will have "got in a terrible mess!"

When the spring of thy life has passed away, And tbesummcr has fled wiihthe flowers Lite's autumn departed, like bachelors' hopes,

And sadly coracs cold wintry hours— Then in sadness and sorrow repentance will come And memory will eall back the past: Alas poor old fellow, it's too I ate for a wife,

For health, like your hopes, cannot 1 ast.

You'll mis3 soft hand to rest on your brow. A gentlo voice, too, by your side No kiss of affection shall e'er touch your cheek,

For neglect is the bachelor's bride -, You cannot expect to improve by old age, •. Like a ca^k of rare, generous wine O, who then will care for a crusty old bach

Who never can know his own mind.

The housekeeper will scold, the children all try To get out of the old fellow's way While he hobbles along,grumbling and cross.

Scolding and quarreling all day Now what do you think of the picture I've drawn Of the close of a bachelor's life I hope that the poet will repent in duo time,

And the proof will be—taking a wife

Passing along the street one lovely summer day, and quietly musing on ploasant things, I waa startled from my revorie by the harsh tones of some one, singing: "I'll whip you to pieces, you little torment," and looking up I saw—whom do you suppose, reader? not a coarse, unpolished woman, but one who would be ranked with ladies, how delicate she looked, fair as a lilly, and seemingly as fragile, aud how richly was she attired, and how graceful she appeared, as she placed her tiny foot on the oarriage step, and gars her hand to a fine looking gentleman who stood ready to assist her to her seat. And to whom WM she speaking, not to the poorly clad child that stood upon the piazza, waiting for her mistress to drive away, but to a fairy-like little creature* with sunny-blue dancing eyes, and golden ringlets, clustering closely 'round the lovely head, who was playing on the gravel-walk before the door. Why did she speak so harshly to the little one? Simply because she had soiled her tasteful white apron with the pietty "rocks," as she called them, and because the lady said --she would get tanned oat in the hot sun. The little one turned away with a grieved look and went into the house, r™

Did that mother love her little bhe Doubtless she did, but she was angiy when she «poke» aad probablydid not think what a pernicious influence ber words woold have npon the child. She will remember em, though, perhaps, they may never be spoken in her hearing again. In after yean, their influence will be felt, if not by her who spoke them, perhaps by others. Ah! had they trat been kindly words of reproof, how modi of good they might have done, for the Hole heart was tender aad would have received the good seed as well as the bad, and woold have fostereu
