Though the climate is rigoroui, and at the present day the winds, sweeping down from the fro-is- a regions of the north, make life somewhat unpleasant at times, yet the water is so pure, the soil so rich, and the climate so healthy, that when, by the increase of population, the growth of trees which must necessarily follow the dense settlement . of the country, theso winds will be shorn of part of their terror, and with the facilities for producing food upon which to sustain life, that State will become th scat of immense wealth; hence the importance of starting out upon her career with a favorable con stitution. EXCELSIOR WOOLEX 'MILLS.. , Our readers will notice from an in our columns that the Kxcelsior Woolen Mills are now in running order, and business is fairly commenced, and wo congratulate the tvwu and county upon the fact. , . We took a trip up to that establishment a few days ago, and went through it (not in the night, remember), and found everything in apparent good order, and prepared to (pin, weave, color and turn out woolen fabrics good enough for any one to wear. We noticed especially the kind of blankets produced at that charge, bo to speak, of the interests of their respective localities, the idea some years ago was formed of con centrating the wisdom of all these boards into one grand congress of boards, which assembles each year. Theso local bodies and the national body ha7e become so puffed up with self importance that they usually presume to dictate to the Congress of the United States such legislation as they may deem proper to be had, and, as their deliberations are often controlled by the possessors of the jwicer now seeking for supremacy in our government, the almighty dollar, it often happens that they recommend such laws as add only to the already plethoric in and the same ratio deplete purse, the poor man's pocket. What, for instance, do these gentlemen mean by "restoring the law regulating tha rates of postage to its former status?" Would a restoration of the old law be an act of justice, let ui examine this question briefly. Undsr the old law tho postage on the daily Junction was one ceat for a transient copy, and the postage on a transient copy of th? New York Herald was one cent also. Under the new law the postage is the same for the Junction and two cents for the Herald, being an increase of one hundred per cent, on the latter, why this increase, may be asked, and in answer we reply the expense of trancent-per-ce- nt . sportation is governed note by weight, wheveasit was not so under the eld law. A single e:py of the Junction weighs about three fourths of an ounce, one of the Herald weighs two ounces, hence the increase in postage what and is done and on the latter.
