Ice.

--We would recommend to our country friends, especially those in the mountains, and near the lines of railroad, to adopt systematic and energetic measures for laying in as large a more of ice as possible, for we know no crop that is likely to be more profitable to its owners next summer than the ice crop. We shall have no more of the Northern commodity, and must look to our own resources for an article which has become a necessity as well as a luxury. Even if peace could be made, which is not probable, we ought never to buy anything of the North, even that only product in which they excel us, and which is as cold and hard as their own wintry natures.
