 LABOR.
 The following curious calculations re- specting the cost of yard of cotton cloth, are made in q Savannah paper:
 we seldom reflect how much real labor even the common articles of use require.- For example, before we can get one yard of common cotton cloth, the seed must be sown, and the plant cultivated, the ball picked, the rough cotton ginned, the ginned cotton packed, that transported to the merchant, from the merchant it is slowed on ship board, then performs voyage at sea, then is trans terred to the manufactory, then spun. then woven, then re-packed, re- shipped and sold in our markets Each of these particular processes involves tedious and intricate la- bor, and could we follow out this labor into all its ramfications, we should find that a single yard of cotton, which can be bought for twelve cents, requires the labor of more than eight months, and the operation of al- most an army of hands.
 'The apparently simple process of weaving by the hand loom. is one Of the most compli- cated pieces, not of manual labor merely, but of entire bodily service; for, according to some curious, but authentic calculations, it has been proved that, to weave a piece of cloth 45 inches wide and 176O yards, or one mile long. for which the operative receives for his labor about $7, his feet travel (with the treddles) through space of 900 miles :; and his hands in picking the shuttle, travel through space of 2,l60 miles, i. e., the feet of the weaver, in weaving by the hand loom one yard of cotton, travel through the space of 900 yards, or over half mile, and his hands through the space of 2.467 yards, or about one mile and quarter PRICEs IN INpIANA.-A correspondent at | Napoleon, Ripley County, Indiana, writesus that the Wheat crop in that quarter was ne- yer larger or more promising than this sea- son. Alarge part of it is already harvested, and farmers are busy in every direction in securing the balance. The country teens with produce of all kinds. Butter is 4cents a pound; Eggs are so abundant that they can scarcely be given away; good fat Reeves, 3years old, are sold daily at $5 each Flour $l 75 per cwt.; no old wheat in market Ginseng 20 cents Immense quantities of honey have been gathered all over the state this season, larger than was ever before known. It can now be had at Napoleon, of the finest quality. at cents per pound. Cincinnati Republican.
 Dd you Euer.-Did you ever see a eandi date for legislative honors who did not ad mire the children of his constituents! | Did you ever see man who, in accepting office was not solely guided by desire tc serve the people!
