ATLANTIC MONTHLY FOR JUNE.
This popular miscellany, which is an bon
or to our periodical literature, makes its ap
pearance the present mouth, with its usual
freshness and diversity of contents. “A
Letter About England" is an admirable sketch
ofEnglish peculiarities, but the article which
most attracted out attention is that entitled.
“Modern Improvements, and Our National
Debt." It presents the - most consolatory
views of the financial interest of the country
after what has been deemed an exhaustive
war. The phenomenon is presented of the
productive power of a country being increas
ed far beyond any exhaustion of its resources
by a gigantic contest. The writer says;
“The progress of discovery, improvements,
in machinery and in the processes of manu
facture, more effective implements of agri
culture, the general introduction of* rail
ways, and other time aud labor saving agen
cies, together with the constantly increasing
influence of the applied science?, have so
augmented the productive powei of humani
ty that the experience of the most advanced
nations fifty years ago furnishes no criterion
of what the United States can do now.”
The writer enters into some interesting
statistics to show that we cannot measure
the progress of improvement in the United
States within the last ten years by a com
parison with any former decennial period;
“In 1850 the aggregate value of the pro
ducts of agriculture, milling, manufactures
aud the mechanic arts, in the United States,
was $2,345,000,000: in 1860 the aggregate
was $3,75G‘000.000. This is an increase in
ten years of sixty per cent. ,* whereas, the
increase of population during that decade
was only thirty-five aud a . half per cent.—
Thus we see that during the ten years ending
with 1860— the date of the last ceusus—the
products of the industry of the country in
creased almost twice as fast as the popula
tion. If to this we add the remarkable fact
that the value of taxable property increased
during the same period a hundred and twenty
six per cent, we have striking proof of the ex
istence of a vast and rapidly increasing pro
ductive power—power largely due to the in
fluence of those improvements which have
been alluded to.
One obvious effect of war is to transfer a
portion of labor from the sphere ol etfective
production to that of extraordinary consumption.
To what extent the relations of production
and consumption among us have been chang
ed, during the present contest, it is impossi
ble to state. That consumption has been
largely increased by our military operations
is apparent to all. It is equally apparent
that production has been also augmented,
though not perhaps to the same extent. The
extraordinary demand for various commodi
ties for war purposes has brought all the
producing agencies of the country into a high
state of activity and efficiency, giving to the
loyal States a larger aggregate production
than they had before the war. Os mining
and manufacturing, this is unquestionably
true. As regards the products of the soil,
'the Commissioner of Agriculture, in his re
port for 186;i, says: “Although the year
just closed has been a year of war on the
part of the Republic, over a wider field and
ou a grander scale than any recorded in his
tory, yet, strange ns it may appear, the great
interests of Agriculture have not materi
ally suffered in the loyal States. Not
withstanding there have been over a
million of men employed in the army and
navy, withdrawn principally from the pro
ducing classes, and liberally fed, clothed and
paid by the government, yet the yield of
most of the great staples of agriculture for
1563 exceeds that of 1862. This wonderful
fact of history—a young republic carrying on
a gigantic war on its own territorytind coasts,
and at the same time feeding itself and
foreign nations, and furnishing large quanti
ties of raw materials for commerce and man
ufacturer—proves that we are essen*ially an
agricultural people, that three years of war
have not as yet seriously disturbed, but
rather increased industrial pursuits ; and that
the withdrawal of agricultural labor, and the
loss of life by disease and battles have been
more than compensated by machinery and
maturing growth at home and by the in
creased influx of immigration from abroad.”
The reader cannot but be struck with the
coincidence of views here expressed with
those pronounced by Mr. Blodget in his
pamphlet noticed in this paper recently. The
increase of productive power in the United
States, during a period of extraordinary and
wastefnl consumption, is one of not the least
of the extraordinary phenomena developed
by the war which has just closed. ***

With loitering step in astral bowers,
I love to while the evening hour*. #
When zephyrs round ray pathway blow.
Bearing music sweet and lo*.
Beneath the preen magnolia shade,
By art designed, by nature made ;
1 faiu would pause to gaze the while,
Adowu the broad sequester’d aisle.
When torrid sans have sank to 'sleep,
Engrossed iu meditation deep :
New themes of by goqe years arise,
Regardless how each moment flies.
Amid the clai o-obscure rays
Os other scenes, in other days,
1 bnt recount in epic strain,
The memory of the hero slain
Pulaskibrave and noble chief,
Before me stands in bold relief,
Emblazoned on the scroll of Fame,
To every eye an honored name.
And higher still the water rise.
Like meteor orbs, in other skies,
Where amaranth and jessamine
To charm admiring hearts combine.
•Tis vain, e’en tho’ I would dispel
Fore’er my native hill and dell.
From out my heart, and linger here,
Where every haunt is bnt too dear.
t —A lad only sixteen years old, named
Frank Douglas, committed suicide in Cincin
nati a few days since. He had became de
jected iu consequence of ill-success with his
studies at school.
—The cotton mills of Woonsocket, R. 1.,
and of all the surrounding manufacturing
towns, are start'ng up. Tue scarcity of help
is a great drawback, however. Weavers es
pially arc in gieat demand.
—A clerical joke is told by a Boston paper
thus: A tall clergyman, meeting a short bro
ther from the rural districts, saluted him :
“Well, brother, we are glad to see you,
though you are small of stature likeZaccheus
of old.” “Thank you,” replied the short
minister, “we read that ‘the Lord hath no
pleasure iu the legs of a man.’”
—Thomas Turner, deputy register at Port
Hope, Canada, has recently tied from that
place leaving behind him evidences and ef
fects of various extensive frauds. He has'
been for some three years in the habit of ob
taining money on forged mortgages and
quietly paying interest on them as it fell
due.
—A match game of quoits was played be
tween the Seniors and Sophomores of Am
herst College last week, the game being to
score one hundred and eleven [mints. The
sophomores were victorious, coming out one
hundred and thirteen to the seniors’ seventy
three. Another match will soon take place.
—At the recent anniversary of “The
American and Foreign Anti-Tobacco So
ciety,” in Boston, the Rev. Mr. Trask, of
Fitchburg, gave it as his opinion that there
had been a decrease among tobacco raisers
in the Connecticut valley; that smoky piety
was decreasing ; and that the time was com
ing when a Christian gentleman would no
more appear on the highway with a cigar
than he would hold slave.
—Monuments have just been erected to the
memory of Admiral Foote and General Sedg
wick. The former is at New Haven, a heavy
square column of RhodeTsland granite, nine
feet high and four feet square at the base ;
and the latter, at Cornwall Hollow, is an obe
lisk of white Rhode Island granite, sixteen
feet high.
—Hubert Holcomb, of New Hartford, Ct.,
lost his voice while serving as a soldier in N.
Carolina, April 5, 1862, and from that time
till last Sunday week has not been able to
speak a word. That day a horse kicked him,
which injured his feelings so that he could’nt
help expressing himself; and since that time
he has been able to [alk as well as anybody.
—A grindstone burst at the Ames Works
in Chicopee, Mass., last week. A quarter of
the stone went through a window with tre
mendous force, and struck a neighboring
storehouse. Another piece lifted the floor
overhead, causing some consternation among
the workmen employed in the vicinity; then
glanced and went through the brick wall of
the building.
—A correspondent writes: “Os all the ci
ties I have ever seen, north or south, in peace
or war, Nashville is the dirtiest. .Louisville
may have some filthier localities; Pittsburg
may exhibit sootier houses; New York may
occasionally get up a more extensive carni
val of mud; but take it all in all, make pro
per allowances for circumstance and size,
and I think Nashville will fairly carry off the
palm.”
—The Richmond-(Virginia) Republican
says the landlords of that city are inflicting
great injury. The rents of storehouses lie
fore the war ranged from four to fifteen hun
dred dollars. Now the landlords demand,
for inferior accommodationsj rents of as ma
ny thousands. The case is much the sam«
with dwelling-houses. The prices which, a
few months ago, were charged in Confeder
ate shinplasters, are now charged in real
money.
—Senator Sumner, who delivered the eu
logy on President Lincoln at the Boston Mu
sic Hall on Fast day, is the ninth orator se
lected from among eminent citizens to fulfill
a similar duty in Boston. The eujogist of
Washington was Fisher Ames; of John Ad

same day), Daniel Webster; of James Mad
