NAVAL NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF
THE OPPosITIoN.-It affords us extreme
pleasure TO learn as we do from Washing
ton, that the officers of the Navy Iatel y op-
posed to the reforms so earnestly demand
ed by the people, advocated by the inoe-
pendent press, and sustained by the Secre-
tary, Bancroft, have at last struck their
flag, after a brief contest, maintained In
their usual spirited style. They have
yielded, as we are informed, with good
grace, and henceforth they will 60 hand
and hand with Secretary in elevating the
service, opening the way for the aPPren-
tees and sailors to rise to the highest sta
tons, and in every possible manner en-
couragng the reorganization of the ma
Wy upon truly republican basis. Verify,
this news seems too good TO be true; but
being positively assured OF its truth, we
feel like throwing up our hats, with hear.
ty three times three for Secretary Ban
croft and the officers. OF our own share
in this good work, our readers are witness
os. We must acknowledge, however, that
the battle has terminated much sooner
than we expected. We had anticipated
prolracted struggle, and were therefore
more agreeably disappointed at hearing OF
the glorious effect of our broadsides. Hur.

stantIy residing in Paris SOON become ex-
tnct, and that out of the whole population
of the town there are perhaps not more
than 1000 individuals who can reckon
their ancestors. as inhabitants of Paris,
from father to son, so far back as the reign
of Louis XIII. The effects of this NOR
tality are observed to be more active upon
males than females. A Partisan youth of
the second or third generation has almost
the form and manners of woman! He
has seldom any children that live, and
hence it may be inferred that all families
which, whether from taste or necessity,
pass their lives in a town residence or a
shop, are irrevocably doomed to ultimate
extinction. Those that pass the summer
in the country last longer than the others,
as may be seen in the case of some an
cient noble families that have not been es-
tablished in the capital more than a centu-
ry. The class of the mobiles has, however
become much weakened since they have
given up inhabiting their castles and ma
nors; and the massive architecture of the
hotels Of the Faubourg st. German nc
longer corresponds to the diminished sta
ture of their inhabitants.

Of the Legislature shall cheerfully comply. 1t is
true that world like to continue the discussion dur

before the members, and address my arguments to
them personally; yet under all the circumstances it
il is perhaps better that that should not be done at
present. 1t should, perhaps first be fully argued be-
fore the people. Your suggestion, therefore, of a
wish occupy your columns with other matter during
the winter, will, at once be yielded TO by me, being
very thankful for the space heretofore allowed me in
your columns, and the offer Of the Of them again
in the Spring therefore, respectfully take leave Of
you and the readers Of your valuable paper till that
time. when l expect to renew my acquaintance with
you and them, and resume my argument. And in the
meantime | hope they will not forget what | have
heretofore said. Very respectfully,

THE ENGLISH CORN MARKET.-A correspondent
of the New York Courier and Enquirer writing from
London under date of Sept. 2lst, says:
The price of Indian corn this morning, In Mark
Lane, Al 45 shngs per quarter of eight bushels,
each bushe weighing 90 pounds of seed, cleaned from
cob and husk, and from all impurities. But is
stated that all the which have left for the
Sias during the last six weeks, have taken out large
orders for the purchase Of this article, it futile to
suppose that the above heavy price will be of long
duration. l have, however, made many inquiries
among the dealers in the London corn market; and l
have come to the conclusion that farmers in Hi
nos, Indiana, Kentucky Tennessee and Ohio, (Which
are the five largest growers may safely reckon on
steady demand for Indian corn in the London market
Of 30 shillings the quarter on average equal TO
nearly 81 per bushel My calculation is made on the
suppostion that during bad harvest in this country
the will be in full demand for human food and IN
good harvest, when money is plentiful, then there
will be increased demand for laborers and proper
tonably increased demand for meat to feed them WITH
and for food to faen cattle to furnish this meat apart
from the fact that the lahorers themselves, if once
accustomed to Indian corn, will not be inclined
entirely to forego its use, when other food is
abundant In any case and under any circumstances,
the Western farmer may assure himself that his corn
will become steady source Of revenue TO him, as
will 10 the merchant steady export staple.
In all my earlier letters, have strongly ncucated
the importance of shipping only the best and sOundcst
article to this country.

"DscLosuRE No. 1.-The Friday or Saturday

that there was demand for abOrers in Henry county
by certain men who were buying up droves of hogs,
and that 81 % per day and board would be paid
citation was regularly made to COL Fltz Henry
Warren, of this place, who these laborers IN
formed was empowered to hire hands for the droyers
in Henry county. The matter being all concocted In
wing beforehand, this Col Warren knowing that
the whole transaction downright piece Of fraud
to cheat honest out of their votes very gravely
proceeded TO engage the men, agent for the buyers
in Henry; and thus from ten to twelve democrats
were started for Mount Pleasant, and directed whom
10 call on at that place, who would they were told
by Warren, give them directions more particularly
about where they were to commence their labors and
who would furnish them food, &c., when they arrived
there. These ten twelve democrats, therefore, in
good faith proceeded to Mount Pleasant and reported
themselves directed by Warren. The man, thing
rather, al Mount Pleasant had been initiated into the
trick, who invited them to his house, detained them
TIL after late dinner and time enough to make It
sure that they could return to Des Moines VOTE
when they were informed that the matter only
political fraud cheat Des Mones of their votes.
Here the deceived democrats became aware of the
game which had been played, and commenced their
journey back to Burlington Arrived here they called
on MIR. Warren, who, as treasurer OF the wing cor

the object being effected, dismissed them from service

army with pack mules and corn; telling him that if
they were furnished readily by the country people,
they should be paid for the that the Mex
