From the Now York Herald. The Roman i amiHuviia. The well considered letter which we publish from our correspondent in Italy sketches the history of the Agro 11. >niaiio from the earliest efforts of the popes to improve its condition down to the present time. The chief obstacle they iiatl to encounter arose from the fact that two-thirds of the Oamnogna belonged to noble families, on whom until recently the estates were strictly entailed, or to the cler gy, who were restrained by no statute of mortmain from the acquisition of ever extending domains. It may be supposed, toil, that the absence of free municipalities within the ponti fieial territory tended to chock local enterprise, while the government which existed urhi et min was more often occupied with the affairs of the world Hum the city. This was the opinion of the late Baron Bunsen, who, when Prussian Minister at Home, recommended a scheme of municipal self-government as the best method of meeting the wishes of liberal reformers. Certain it is that one pontiff after another failed In the attempt to reclaim the marshy soil. Statesmen like LeeX, and Sixtus V. had no better success than simple, worthy priests of the type of Pius VI. and his immediate successors. Na poleon applied himself to the task which Commit had essayed some eighteen hundred years before, but the career of the one conqueror, as of the other, was cut short ere the most beneficent of ids works could bo accomplished. At length the labor which grave politicians and skillful financiers have Contented themselves with talking about for centuries is likely to be accomplished by a brave did soldier, who loves his country after lie sheathed the sword with which he freed her, and who by the pure hon esty of his intentions, is enabled to overcome difficulties which would have overwhelmed men less whole hearted than he. The hero of a school girl’s romance turns out to be more practical than some men who havo won special reputations for knowledge of business. Should the plans of Garibaldi be re alized they will be no unworthy crown of ids military triumphs. To reclaim to cultivation land which for ages has been abandoned to waste and pesti ienee i to make two blades of grass grow where one grew before; to cre ate new harbors on the fairest coast land ol Europe and attract to them the navies of many countries ; to re store to the gaze of a wondering world tin- treasures of the past, which may lie under the Tiber near the Etefnal City, the witness of so many sudden and violent changes --todo (ill this at a comparatively trifling cost issurely tlie mark of genius, if genius, may be recognized by the capacity for ac complishing great ends with small means. It is strange that, while ill Scotland or North Germany men will give fab ulous sums for a few square yards of ungrateful soil which will require the incessant labor of their lives to force ' it to yield its produce land, is to be obtained in the garden of the world at a cheap rate which if reclaimed would be fertile from the long rest of centuries. Deserts are purchased for much money and a rich virgin soil lying close to the capital of ■ Christendom is neglected. This state of things cannot long continue. Land j is still, as in the days of Lord Mans field. the most productive of invest ments, and sites in tho neighborhood of Home must ultimately attain to quite ar till dial values, whether they tie covered with fields of waving corn or trim villas, which shall recall the: ►stately luxury of the Augustan age : V*** sapere --t alG* al*> bene vivo re, quorum Oounpintur sftidis luudata peeuaiit v illis. Such was the advice of Horace to capitalists. THE SOIL OF THE CAHFAONA. This the people thus the land! A vast stretch of land without human habitation, with the exception of an cient structures and some palaces, where the proprietor may spend a week or two in the spring. The Agro Romano may be divided Into three parts. First, the valley of tile Tiber, down to tlie Isola Haora, in some parts three or four kilometers broad, in some parts narrower. Here we see neither houses nor trees, tlie. wide plain is given up to pasturage,dotted here ami there with fields of grain, cultivated, however, in a most mis erable maimer. Second, a broad stretcji of land along the s.-a, reach, ing from Civita Veeebia to the Rou tine marshes, desert-like, with sand bills ; here and there, as in the valley of the Tiber, fields and pasturage, dots of stunted forest growth and lakes of stagnant water. Third, the so-called highlands, but which are real I v nothing lyut small lulls, con nected by pretty, fruitful valleys, but all devastated during tlie rainy sea son by torrents which carry away tho greater portion of the soil to tin- lied of the Tiber. Tlie cattle and the : peasants and the "mereaiitl” have destroyed neatly all tho (forest growths on the hillsides; the cultivable portions arc sown with grain, the rest is given over to the herds. The farmers give themselves no trouble to procure egress for the rain water, which forms ponds amt lakes and swamps in the valleys, and grasp acre after acre of laud with every year. In spring even the most barren jiortlons of the Agro Romano smile in the beauty of (lowers, and of tho green grass and foliage, but to ward tlie mUMIe Of June the grain is ail harvested, the grass is parched up, tho lakes have become sam#, and the swamps are covered witli slime and emit theiirpifioononsexhalations. The cattle are watered in tanks sup plied from tlie running brooks, but after passing the tanks no further provision is made to carry off the water, which deluges the land, and is left again to form tlm Inevitable swamps. Only on a few estates can exceptions be made to tiiis picture. One Or two proprietors have thresh ing machines in operation and have built stalls for their cattle, and plough the land in a civilized man ner, but tho estates so mauaged are only small oases iu tho midst of the groat melancholy desert.
