To the Editor ofthe CLeUeland AdU.
DEAR SIR-On Tuesday night last, a
gang of Oberlin, fanaticaI, abolition an
archisls, with The assistance Of their ad-
hcrents in this place, made an attack on
our Jail, and with saws, axes, &c. prepa-
red for the purpose, liberated the negroes
confined therein, and carried them of in
a carriage towards the Den, about the
hour of midnight, in great gusto. This
move was somewhat anticipated, as
the aboltionsts were heard 10 tell the
negroes they should be helped out; but
we were not prepared 10 see law, with
such impunity, so soon trampled under
foot by these non reSiStdntS. This plain
" indicates what we are TO expect from
this sail the decency aud all the religion"
party-as they alone are concerned. This
being only fore.taste of Oberlm "Per-
fectiopism," the present indication is that
we shall have enough Of it before we come
to the end of these things, y " "
You will have noticed a short sketch oil
the negro excitement in this county, III

brevity, il contains numerous bare-faced
alsehoods; but at this | have no occasion
to advise you, as the editors intimate and
most familiar acquainrances have never,

THE PRESENT AND PROSPECTIVE PRICE
OF Fl OUR


The immense quantity Of this article
now in store, at the various commercial
points Of The Union, renders it probable
that the prices will not be increased, at
least, the next autumn. They are already
at a lower point than they have been for
a number OF years, and still their tendency
is rather downward than upward The
highest price in New York, for several
weeks, has been 81 "a, and it has been
vasclating from that point down TO 81 80.
If, but with the winter stock on hand, no
better sales can be effected, it is probable
when the immense quantities now in store
in the west. are sent forward, that the de-
mand or prices will increased We think
not-unless there should DO a heavy TO-
reign demand, which is not now at all pro-
bable. AS in this country, the wheat crops
upon the continent, the last haryests, were
abundant, sc much as to warrant large ex-
portations TO England. This will diminish
the demand upon this country, unless the
prices should fall so low as to warrant ex-
portation. What diminutlon would afforL
this warrant, we are not advised. But

there is no foendation for the report. The

is a moderate sized boat, and has two en-
