PASSAGE OF THE SLAVE ADMISSION BILL.
We regret TO state that the bill We have
heretofore noticed as having been passed by
the House of Delegates, allowing slaves to
be brought into our limits from other States,
yesterday passed the Senate by a vote of 13
yeas TO nays, and is now a law ofthe State
The bill was amended so as to prevent slaves
being brought in for the purpose of traffic !;
but we fear that slave dealers will find 1t an
easy matter to evade that clause of the bill

Hogs Packed in the West, 1S49-5O.
To the Editor Of Lafayette Daily Courier:
have been at some considerable pains TO
accurately and in most cases by
personal enquiry, having visited recently the
principal packing points in tho State Of Indi-
ana, Illinois. and on the Mississippi river, the
number of hogs packed in the Western States
for the season of 1849-50.
1t will be remembered by many that q
statement originating from me, was published
in the n. Y. Tribune, March 9TH, 1919, CIV
ing the number Of hogs packed at some of the
principal packing points. amounting to over
100000, without including large number
of smaller places, which SION after obtained
increasing the number 10 l. 977, 800.
Subsequently,, on receiving circulars from
authentic sources or which should have been
deemed good authority, published at Cincin-
natl and Boston, showing only about two
thirds of that number, induced me to think,
TO say the least. that the information was not
obtained from reliable sources. as the receipts
Of barrel pork at New Orleans to the close OF
the last season was $50 600 brIs, and my
recent visit through the principal sections of
the pork packing country has satisfied me
that the number OF hogs cut. west of the Al
/ leghany Mountains, for 1848-49, could not
have been less than 20500G0.
There has been this year the usual quanti-
ty packed for the European Markets, and it
should be recollected from the many public

States. and the consequent demand for that
consumption, that large proportion of the

will not reach ain eastern market.

tie quantity that has been packed there
/ Nearly all the pork cut OH those rivers is made
into Bacon, and from the Missouri a large
proportion will be required for the California

There are a few other small points that
have no account from, hut / believe the fol
