Messrs. GALES & SEAroS: have just
come from the first Congressional district
in New Hampshire, where the Wings
and their allies have just elected Amos
Tuck by 1000 majority; and have just
learned from our obliging and enterPris-
ing friends of the Boston Atlas that we
have probably elected General WILSON IN
the third district. His gain in eight towns
in IIiIlsborough is LOCO votes: his own
county (Cheshire) will certainly do bet
ter than last spring, so that | look upon
his election as certain. Is not this ''glory
enough for one d2y!" The estimate Of
the Union put them both down as sure
for The Democrats. For the first time for
eighteen years the Wings o. New Hamp-
shire have now voice in the House of
representatives; and now the representa-
ton Of the State in both the House and
Senate Is equally divided. Yours, &c.

BUTTER IN VEGETABLES AND GRAINS.
A physician in New York says, in
communication TO the Journal OF Com
merce, bv the aid Of analysis, il has been
ascertained that butter in pure state is
combined in all, or nearly all, grapes,
seeds and grains. Out OF one hundred
weight of Indian corn meal, for instance,
a good chemist can extract from eight to
ten pounds of butter. 1t has furthermore
been proved, that butter obtained from the
cream of milk, is not animal secreilons,
but that it previously existed, in the pure
and original state. in the hay or food Of
the COW: and a skilful chemist can make
more butter out of one hundred weight OF
hay than a COW can, as the cow must ap-
propriate considerable share OF it for
the uses and necessities of her organize
ton. Give q cow hundred pounds of
hay, and she will render back eight pounds
of batter, but an expert chemist can rea-
lize twelve or thirteen pounds out of it. :
If this be true, hay can be turned TO
better profit than al selling ii at even the
present hlgh prices we may soon eA-
pect TO see a chemical butter establish
ment organized. with lis president and
directors, &c. Truly We live in a Won
derful age for scientific researches and
discoveries. There can be no danger oi
having rancid butter, when it can be turn
ed out fresh from handful OF hay every
morning.-Lanc Elk.
The greatest advantage that will
most likely result from the above discov-
cry is that or corn cakes BUTTERTNG
THEMSELVES. Ten pounds oil butter IN
100 lbs. meal viii make the cakes GREASY
enough, we should think, to make them
90 down.

REvuLsloS IN THE Corn TRADE
The Journal Of Commerce SAYS:

REvuLsroN IN THE Corn Trade
The Journal Of Commerce says:
"The price of corn (rnaize) is now so
different from the expectation of the own
ers far West, that the charges are more
than the article is worth. Large parcels
of corn and some other produce have
been abandoned 10 the forwarders, and
many cargoes the consignees would sell
for the chsFges. The original purchase
money Is therefore 4 total loss. and, where
the owners are able, they will suffer .
sill further loss
The Editor of the Nashville Union,
who declared that, $50 long IS the present
tariff remains undlslurbed, the price OF
provisions must rsmain high can, per-
haps, explain to the corn-growers of Ten
nessee how this fall was occasioned.-
The new tariff is in successful operation,
so the Locoiocos tell us, and. in the same
breath, they say that farm produce, sent
here for foreign market, is dead loss
to the Western sender. and that, if he is
able, he will have to pay something be-
sides. This looks like being obliged TO
pay for being hanged. Under the old Ia
riff, we know, the farmers got something
for their corn, but under The new law the
free-lraders say lis worse than nothing
TO the Western owner.-N. Y. Express.

During the hearing, a large crowd gathere in and
about the courthouse, and an attempt was made to
rescue the prisoners first in the court room, and after
ward as the slaves were brought down from the court
room to the carriage which latter resulted in serious
riot. The attack was commenced at the door Of the
carriage, where, before the slaves were got into the
vehicle general rush was made on the slave-owners

clubs and canes used with terrible energy.
