London Times on t!ic ttvo Hcssases- We have carefully examined thee State naners in order to ascertain, if pos- title, what views each President takes of the prospects of his own cause, what es timate he torra oi. past prugiess, ituu what hopes he entertains of future euc- cess, we coniess, niier uie urjsi ..iiciui consideration, we can derirc little insignt inte the subiect. The truth is that these addresses do not contain so much what tlie writers think as what they wish ts b-; sumoKed to thiiik. If either the North or Sou'h despaired of the safely of the Republic, the last place where we should expect to find any trace of it weuld be in the inaugural addresses at their Presi dents. Still, such indications as we can gather seem, to show that neither party has a riht lo look forward to the coming year with overweening confidence. The balan.ee of advantage in the last cam Pl'n has undoubtedly been in favor of ihft North. President Lincoln claims somewhat prematurely that the Missis sippi i3 completely opened, while the very last advices we have reviewed show that this is very far from true. Tennesse, he assures us, is substantially clear of inur CtMits a statement which the latest ac counts cannot be said to bear out. We are told for the hundredth time that the a . 1 crisis is rast, ana nio attention or tnc President would seem to be directed rather to the fate of th blac'c then of the white population of the Southern States. He announces his firm adher ence to the policy of emancipation, and congratulates himelf, as wo think he re sonably may, that his views on that sub- J ject have made progress durinj ih? last year. Thre can be no doubt ot the fact. It has plea-ed the Democratic party in the North, by an amount of moral cow ardice to which history furnishes no par allel, to commit political suicide. To narrow the difference between themselves aud their antagonists as to the mere question of the proper manner of carry ing on the war was to take up a position by which everything was to be lost, and nothing to be gained; and, of course, whatever the Democratic party lost has been transfern d to those violent men who. in adJitba to the inestimable ad vantage of thoroughly knowing their own mind, and having perfectly clear and dt finite views, possessed for the moment power place and patronage,' and are able to reward those conversions to which the weaknes of their opponents gave only too reasonable occasion. Mr. Lincoln confesses, however, to two wants, both of them very serious in war the want of men and the want of money. He speaks in guatded terms, not of the scarcity o: soldiers, but of the want of labor in the field of indu.-try. The havoc of war has raised un a formidable competitor with power, employing large armies provided with all the appliances of war. It was only after the repulse of McClellan that Lurcpe began to understand the magni tude cf the problem which the North had undertaken to solve. Yet. though we greatly underrated the difficulties of the North, the opinien was almost universal that the subjugation cf the South would be found an impossibility. The climate, the rast distances, the enduring and in veterate- opposition of the people, the enormous exp?nse, and the impossibility of bringing things to an issue all seem ed on the side of secession. The proclamation of the President furnishes a iroed illustration of this diffi culty. He proposes, on "republican prin T views of thesettho know most about the White Willov I am cf opinion: 1st.

PIis maintenance of the act of emancipation in his annua message has given immense satisfaction to those not prejudiced by special reasons for the rebellion, and his sagacity, straight forwardness and honesty in the midst of such confusion and excitement called from M. Laboulaye the other day at the Col lejre de France an immense audience of the elite of tie intellectual world, the ex clamation that Mr. Abraham Lincoln was a "greater man than Caesar !"

There is also a complaint that the enlistment for the army competes prejudicially with the entering of seamen for the navy. The address of the Southern President is entitled to the praiso of candor. He does not. perhaps, admit so fully as he ot;ght the real effect of th blooriy check at Gettysburg ; but, with this exception, we do not think that General Halleck himself could object to tb.3 view which is given of the events cf the late campaign The hpavy blow which rras sustained by the capture of the Missisippi fortresses, and the recent defeat in Tennessee, are stated with manly frankness a .frank ness which tends more to raise our opin ion of the probpects of the Confederacy than the most highly colored statements. Thre is no complaint of difficulty of ob taining nipn for the army, though the losses occasioned by war are spoken of with a bitter regret very different from the iron stoicism which the Northern leaders prescribe to themselves on such subjects. But the statement of Southern finance is a melancholy affair. The Southern pecple afe inundated by depre ciated paper currency, their trade i3 de stroyed, their industry terribly impeded, and yet their President can make no bet ter suggestion than the imposition of heavy direct taxation in order to reduce the currency within nrrner hounds, innd- j , Qitiontowhat may be requiied to wake proriMon for the war. Nobody can doubt these principles are sound, but are ijjeyracticable ? And if not, how are the Southern aimiestobe supported in the field, and to be provided with food, clothes arms, ammunition, artillery and transport ? The question is not what has been done in the last campiign, but with what resources the two antagonists will confront each other in the campaign which will be opVned in the earW sprite. The President expresses confidence :nthe superior endurance of men fighting for home, liberty and independence, which leaves nodoubt.as to the result, Ecdur. ance will do much.

Thus the conviction comes to my own mind, that where it is best knoT?n the willow is most highly esteemed. WTe observed poplars and eotton wood, and poor powdery locusts, and the yellow willow too. all giving way to the white willow. The linear old trees were planted at first merely as a wind-break ; cuttings of finger size and a foot more in length being stuck in the prairie sods, a foal apart, so says the planter. From many cuttings two or more shoots start ing from the ground must have been al lowed to grow, for as the trees now stand, 10 to 12 tree3 occupy about 8 feet length in the row. In a few places the trunks spread apart at a hight of a few feet above the ground so that a man can get through, but no farm stoc'i could do it, and a bet ter stockade would not be needed to con fine a herd of elephants. To make it doiT-prof, would require only a little labor and a few stakes. The appearance of the fence is attrac tive, the hight of the trees being very uniform; and even whee the fences extend over dry knolls and through "slues," (tdonihs,) the result only is to make the l:ne of the tops a little less undulating than the ground line, showing that the willows grow faster in wet soil than in dry. On the same farm there were some vellow willow?, set at the same time, as we were informed. Thy had not made nearly so gooJ growth, and there were numerous vacant spots where trees had died. They were more branching and crooked olso. One farm which we visit ed was not only fenced externally, but the owner was dividing up the land into 10 to 15 acre lots, using the willow ex clusively. Much was set on this farm last Spring. ,Jt was well cared for, and the growth, though small, was healthy. Here we saw no dead cuttings. There wa3 also about an acre set last Spring for timber, fuel, etc., the cuttings being a foot apart in rows 12 feet apart. The ground has been regularly worked all Summer, and the plants look well, having made a growth of two and a half to three feel.
