There sat a small.man, apparent shrivelled or withered, tbe slight nessuf bis form emphasised by a huge broad brimmed plantation hat. He was bent or curled over as be rat, and smoked a long pipe so long that lie was oMigel to hold tbe; wooden stem in his hand as if it bad been a ehibonque, and be was alway alone. He netted to know no enc and to care eo make no acquaintances. Amr.nr.tlv ho mut tered a great deal to himself, as if' rapt and unconsciously talking. But the murmur was inarticulate. It seemed a forlorn, gro tesque old man, living in reverie. But when he arose his step was uncertain. He moved toward the dining-room in the same sell-in-vulveJ manner, and it became too plain that it was a man wholly besotted with drink. At the table there was the same muttering ; stupid wonder that tbe waiters did not come ; a peevish impatience, an ab rupt sulking away from the roam More be bad half eaten bis dinner. then ii, forgetting the sad spectacle of a ruined man. tome murine loiterer uuon tbe lielcony coulJ have looked through tfie trees of il.e dusky .-quire down into the Albany oftt.irtyor f-.rty ytais ao, U- Liight have seen an eager, intelligent kid, earnest in study, ardent in irkndehip, generous, as piring, ambitious, witb a sparkling and per eoasiyc tong.-e, and a brilliant career smil ing upon him from the future.

We are glad to announce, that there is strong probability that the unlortunate difficulties hutween the Troy .1 Boston It. K. and Mr 'irenor W Park will soon be ad justed, so that amicable relations and rail road commnications can again bo maintain ed hetwit-n Troy and our neighbors to the North. By this quarrel Troy and the jwo- , pic of Western Vermont have been most ser- i lourly inevmtenienotd, and their business and social relations, hitherto of tbe mort friendly end reciprocal character, have been broken off and placed in unpleasant antagonism. Tbe Troy ,t Bennington Kail road has been stopped in its operations, and this great artery of communication to the North closed. There never was any better excuse lor this than " tbe stupid ob stinacy of Dan Kobinson .t Uo." This whole trouble might have been settled in the first place juat as well ai now, and on term modi more favorable to Troy inter ests. We should have saved more than a million of dollars in trade to our Troy mer chants which has been driven off elsewhere. The Ibanon Railroad, which wilt prove a retious ' cut off" to Troy, and which is progressing steadily towards completion, then would not have been built. We do not care to revive by-gtmes. We ho? that the humiliations heaped on tbe men who are re sponsible for this serious blow at tbe inter ests ed Troy will not be lost to future rail road managements hereabout. We understand that an agreement has been arrived at and the writing sent down to Troy lor signatures between the Troy Bos ton It. K. and T. W. Park for tl e settle ment of the long-pending quarrel between them Park was to release and return to the Troy Boston K. It. the property seiz ed by him and tbe suits at law on both sides were to ho discontinued, and no pro ceedin-i v cie to he renewed by cither side. T. W. Puik wui to receive $50,000, to be aid :o him !.y the Troy & Bjston It. It, Park agreed to withdraw opposition and to allow the Bnrdens to build a railroad from their two o..--beds so as to connect with this road. The Troy & Bennington It.

The Troy A B-Mtein It R. had given it. nss-nt up to yesterday to all these poin:s of agreement except that which bound t ji no: to prosecute for any cause of actio;: in the past. Mr. Park had agreed to all ti.e terms of settlement. Wo are att-urrd thai there is little doubt now that this whole d. faculty will Lu finally adjusted shortly in a manner satiifaetory to both parties. We Mi-ve such will be the case.

I stated in a Sorxuer article I bat beyend doubt more work was tloae fur the prctt of the estate ' by a given number of laborers in St. Croix when they were slaves, than is bow done by the same number, equally able bodied, and free, though under the provisions of the " Labor Act." As slaves they wtre f:retil to work more hours in the day, and were under OTtrsrers ami drivers who had tbe power to stimulate thtir exeitkms by tbe whip, if they so pleased. That overseers and drivers used that power often, aad not uiifrcqutntly wilh severity, it undeniable. Now, the hours of work for the suottest days of the year are but eight and t-r ire longest but ten. II the Uborei doe td present himself at the ringing ef the UI: f. r work, be may lose part of hie cash pay, and f he does not keep up bis row ia the field witb Hie rest cf the gang. or is perverse about his work, he runs the risk ; of being eompUintd of tc the manager, aod by 1 him to the owner, orattorn y fa iln- estate, soil by him to the magistrate; but as heretofore re marked that liability cannot trouble a laborer , much, ir he keeps clear of thieving and violence.

Also, in crop time that is when the process of cine cutting an! sugar miking ii going on, the mage is fur the manager to dtal out weekly to the laborers, syrup from the sugar kettles, which syrup the laborers are allowed to boil down into sugar cakts to use, or to sell for their own benefit. A large discretion, in this particu. I hr. rctts with the mitnier. is to both the strength and the quantity of syrup so giren. and there is a strong temptation befure the man - sgers-msny cf whom ire not men cf the high- est tone ftr honor er mcrsls to so dispense this bounty as to attach the laborers to the - tates, and if indirectly it allures to it for tbe next year a few Uborers from estates where they arc less generously dealt by, the manager is, perhaps, quite as well s- The total amount of sugar . -inlly nnJe up I into sugar cakes from the practice juit men- tioned, and sold by the ll.orers for their own profit, is said to be very great many tbous- j acds of pounds, at least. I judge, moreover, that of late years the loss to the estate otners j in this way has been on the increase; for tbe , Colcnial Council had under consideration dur ing the last year, an ordiiunce to put a check to it, by inqicsuig very sttiDgtnt regulations on the sale of sugar cakes. It wa alleged, or at least implied, that sugar or syrup was stokn to a large extent by the laboiers. Vet I notice.! that a decided remonstrance to the ltoyal Cov - ernment against giving validity to the ordinance, was made by two of the magistrates who were members of the Council. They alleged that its provistoas would iniuriouly" affect lawful , ,. . .... . .. .u . , tradmg. and as to the imputation that the borers stoic the syrup or sugar, they ptaitively denied its truth, and pointedly said in tbe nay ' of refutation, that while charges of theft In va- rious ways wcrecftcn brought against .Uhsreis before magistrates, none -. brought for tbtfis of syrup and sugar, as alleged. They charged the loss of sugar directly upon the managers xho ware it to the laborers, tc secure their good will But there are other souictt of iuJirect profit from the estates to the laborers, betides the su gar kettles. The fruit of such fruit trees is ' grow in the laborers' villages is considered their oan as of right, and generally, the frait-groa-ing on the estates, such as cocoa-nuts, oranges, bananas, sapodilhu.alligator pears,maogocs,&c, tc, is all, except such as may he growing :u the gardens of the ownei and managers, free booty for the laborers, to gather and sell in he market. A Urge source of profit is found )iy them in cutting and selling n'th liberty (rem I ihe managers, bundles of sticks for fuel, or to I ., , , . . t . burn the same into coal in little pits which will : pro-luee abarrel or two of coal. This is always I marketable at a good price. Guinea gras -the , , staple article for tbe food of horses and neat cittle and other green irass which cattle, green grass goats and pigs wUl eat is gathered from the road sides and on the borders of the cetates, iied up in heavy bundles and transported on the heads of laboiers, male and ft male, at the dote of tbe day's work, or on Saturday, to the towns, 'o be sold in the bundle or retailed out by the single cent's worth.

A sharp lookout is kept by tbem to secure priv ileges of this sort for the fatnre, previous to oommitting themselves to remain on the estate Mien the time for engagement has come. These various sources of profit, not included under the law. but allowed to the laborers, scmetimcs, no doubt, from mere good will, anl often beoause if not allowed the estate would in evitably fiod itself short ot hands on the com. Drtncement of the year, small as they are indi vidually, collectively amount to a considerable sum fir tbem much more, indeed, with the 'hnfiy ones, than their wages as fixed hy tbe Libor Act. Oae of the mcst energetic and prosperous Planters on tbe Island told me that iie considered, taking all things into account, the daily remuneration of his laborers to be equal to fifty cents apiece. It might be to to them, though I presume tbe ceat to bim falls greatly below that sum. Doubtless some portion of what they sold in little lots, esf eeially of tug ar, would hare brought money into his coffer; but most of what they sold would have gone to waste if they bad not saved it to sell. He would not have turned his thoughts off from sugar. iioUsses, and rum to market the grass by tbe etyside; to send cocoa-nuts to market to be ctailedat one cent a pieoe; limes at twelve for . cent; calabash dishes at from one to seven :ents each; and so of other trifles. It is to be noted that these resources, within the reach of the Uborers for gaining small sums ever and above their regular day-wages aud rations, icttead of operating as a stimulus ta more vigorous labor in the field for tbe owner as an increase of py for more ami letter work in a given time would do put them under tenptatiou to be looking out more shtrply to promote tbeir own interest by these out-ot the- iray gains, than to bentfit tbe estate by hard and ; careful work at whatever they aie directed to lo. No doubt there r.ie some among the estate tbortrs who take pride an I pleasure in the prosperity of the plantation and intend, frcat honest principle, to work fairly and honestly fir their employer; and there cJn be no doubt, either, that there are many who come fer short of it; and not a few nho nill till out the parcel of taluable aitklcs which they air nlluced to j get from the estate, with iJ lilions which they know they have no tight to tale, proeidol they 'eel sure of cot being found out and punished, "t of having their petty pilfering winked at by 'he manager. Though tLe Labor Aet declares tampering with i laborer to get him away from hts employer be re he has received his pass a punishable offence. .nl makes owners or managers, if convicted of Atsy " jractiie tending wilfully to counteract or ivoid the rules ef the Labor Act, either br direct or indirect means, subject to a fine net exceeding two bundled dollem,"' there are many ways in sbich, as an intelligent Planter said to ne, laborers can be, and are, by underhand means, lured unlawfully from one estate to aunher. The rulers of the Labor Act aLd the nrexaleut but wbullr unrecuUtod rts'em of i - favor-seeking by gratuities and privileges, tarn- ith the temttaticn to tuch surreptitious rrac- tiles, and protiJe the means firr their aucceae. , " J .
