"Who can deny that British agriculture, on an equal extent and quality of soil, gives a greater return for the labors of the husbandman than lands the most furrowed by the plow or favored by the sun? "Who can deny that the British isles--two miserable little spots when looked at on the map of the world — have for centuries taken their place among the greatest empires, and obtained an illustrious place in the history of the earth?" You might as well deny the existence ofser provinces of North America; in Oceanic, the whole of New Holland and New Zealand; Norfolk island and New Caledonia. These united territories contain a hundred and fifty millions of inhabitants, including the twenty-eight millions of the British isles. As to its commercial marine, two facts are sufficient to make its immensity known.

e at his back, and possessing an amount of military talent almost, if not quite, equal to that of the Yankee general, a threat from his lips was not calculated to make Englishmen laugh. Nevertheless, even he never carried through that little enterprise; no hostile footstep profaned the soil of perfidious Albion, and Napoleon never reached any portion of her territories except St. Helena. And does Sherman think, because he has run through the State of Georgia, retreating in good order from Atlanta to Savannah, with not even "Major Jones" to dispute his progress, nor "Simon Suggs" to harass his rear, that he is going to pitch his tent in Hyde Park? We are no great admirers of English policy, but English power is another and different matter. We may not admire the rapacity and sanguinary appetites of the King of Beasts, but, for all that, should not be anxious to provoke him to a trial of muscle.

One Napoleon Bonaparte, who walked over all Europe with as little difficulty as Sherman did over Georgia, and who met, fought and conquered, at every step of his way, armies of hundreds of thousands of veterans, splendidly equipped, and led by the best military genius of their native lands, once made a threat somewhat similar to that of Sherman. Bhe never carried through that little enterprise; no hostile footstep profaned the soil of perfidious Albion, and Napoleon never reached any portion of her territories except St. Helena. And does Sherman think, because he has run through the State of Georgia, retreating in good order from Atlanta to Savannah, with not even "Major Jones" to dispute his progress, nor "Simon Suggs" to harass his rear, that he is going to pitch his tent in Hyde Park?

ts markets, its docks, its arsenals, its girdle of colonies, and fortresses encircling the globe,--composing an empire larger than ever obeyed the laws of Rome. The pen cannot describe the animation of its harbors, the activity of its commercial and manufacturing cities, the extent of its rural industry. Figures alone can convey an idea of its immensity. Great Britain, which is only two hundred leagues long, and the soil of which is far from rivalling in richness the plains of Lombardy or Aragon, yields annually to the labor of the husbandman a revenue of about £140,000,000 sterling; an income, great as it is, which is almost doubled by the value of similar productions in its dependencies and colonies. Its industry, commerce and manufactures yield a revenue superior to that magnificent landed estate; thanks to its inexhaustible mines, to its admirable system of internal communications, conducted by eighty six canals and seventy lines of railroad, in all, the general income of the B

Ho for Hyde Park! General Sherman proposes to travel.--Having thoroughly explored his own country, he intends to complete his education in foreign parts. Thisly reduced and exhausted, he would land upon her shores and pitch his tent in Hyde Park." We should like to have beheld the countenance of that worthy and resp American grandiloquence. When General Sherman promises to pitch his tent in Hyde Park, we are very much afraid that Hyde Park will either never hear of the threat,Hyde Park will either never hear of the threat, or that it will be more amused than terrified.
