Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad.

The friends of this important epterprise
held meeting at Hannibal on the 9th
ultimo, aud appointed delegates to attend
a convention at st. Joseph on the 9TH in
slant. The meeting was addressed by Col,
r. F. Richmond and VIM. p. Harrison.
Esq. and series OF resolutions were adopt,
ed, evincing the interest and confidence
which is felt in the final consummation Of
the work.
| We are much gratifed that the people
OF north Missouri have become awakened
on the subject of internal improvements
The people of no part OF the United States
have more at stake on the policy of open.
ing easy and cheap communications to mar.
ket than those Of north Missouri; for it can
scarcely be doubted that railroad from
Hannibal to st. Joseph would double the
aggregate value of the zeal estate, north
OF the Missouri river
But it is scarcely to be expected that q
country purely agricultural, and withal, so
thinly inhabited, can furnish the means
necessary to accomplish work Of snch
magnitude without aid from some other
quarter And seeing that the success Of
the enterprise must, in agreat degree, de-
penn upon Inc ana OF the general govern
ment, we trust thai our citizens of the
North will adopt active and efficient meas.
ures to bring the subject before Congress
at the approaching session; and that moth.
ing calculated to insure the favorable action
of that body will be left undone. !, is
rot Sufficient that the people meet and
adopt resolutions-they should select one>.
or more intelligent ard able individuals to
attend the next session of Congress at
Washington; not because our members are
wanting III devotion to the interests of
thei State; nor that they arc defcen, in
ability' but, that by reason of the multiple.
ity OF subjects which claim their attention,
they may be greatly assisted by one who
is charged with no o,ha duty than that of
looking after the interet of this great meas.

Ma. J. H. TRIpLErr-SIR: I have examin.
ed the New National Geography" with con-
siderable attention and care, and from the con.
oissness, perspicuity, and sin plic.y Of style, I
prefer it to any other geography now in use,
moi wilhstanding oil my prejudioes in favor OF
Olney.
II exhibits In laconic style, the surface Of
the globe, with its divisions, both natural and
political. The productions, soil, and climate Of
each country, together with the characteristic
Of its inhabitants the tables setting forth the
length Of the rivers, the height ofthe mountains,
the exteut Of the countries, oceans, seas. lakes,
&c, are easy to be understood by the juvenile
mind. In short, it contains nothing but what is
strictly necessary for the student to learn, all
extraneous matter being sxpunged; consequent
ly, the work is convenient in form. Its maps are
more numerous than some other geogra phies,
although not SO large; yet they are clearer and
more beautifully divided. The names Of places,
rivers, towns, &c., are in much larger print
consequently more easily p, received and under
stood. In my opinion. il i, the work that has
been needed snd as it has made its appearance
in our western coun,r, through your uigilance
/ hope it will soon find its way INTO all public
schools throughout the country.
Yours. Respectfully,
VIM. o. CROSS,
Principal Of Hanniba! Academy.

""h we nave received, there will be an n.
oundnnce of Pork buyers in the market
this season; However, up to the present
VII ,rme' DIV lew Contracts have t:anspired.-
Inc farmers are looking for too high pri.
ces to meet the purchasers. The amount
of hogs in the country that will be fatten.
ed for market may be some less than The
number offered last season, but the falling
off in numb or quality. will not be SO
great as has been generally supposed; The
corn crop in this part Of Missouri, at leas,
in this county, has turned out better than
had been anticipated. Good hogs here
will probably meet with ready sale at
$3.50, at the opening of the market. We
hear ot contracts, which have been made,
ranging from $500 to $500 per 100 lbs.
Il. Draper and brothers, are prepared to
purchase; and slaughter on fair terms, at
their pork honse; other establishments are
or will be prepared to purchase soon.

Hemp.

WATER Rorrrp HExp. We learn that z
r. Voolfolk, u. 8. Hemp Agent, al this city,
hes received instructions ffoln Washington, to
hold himself in sesdinsss FOR the purchase, al
this point, Of Water Noted Hemp for the use
Of the u. s. Navy. Mr.. Voolfolk IL instructed
that 200 tone will he required from this sgenoy.
A purohsss end hipmsnt, the first made under
existing Arrangements, was contaminated on
the 18th inst. The proportion Of Ws.er Rotted
Hemp received at this point, 10 very mssgre,
and our farmers should bear in mind, before
pre- pairing their crops for market, that two hun
dred more will be required for the use Of Gov.
srnmen. alOnc.--M. Louis lnteliigsncsr.
W. are told by gentlemen we'll informed on
this subject. tha. Hemp 10 the most profitable
produc, in Missouri; shd ths. in Platte, Clay
and Buchanan, the general estimate 10, that one
negro can clear five hundred dollsrs in year.
I. 10 regarded BY many ~ more profitable than
sugar planting in Louisiana. The prices for
negroes on the Missouri river, are, in con,e.
quence, now in competition with Southern pri-
oe'. We understand they arc selling for eight
nine, and ten hundred dollars.
The Mississippi counties Of Northern Mis-.
,onri are as " oil adapted a. those on the Mis-
souri, river for rai.ing Hemp. The latter pro-
duce strong. heavy staple, while the fOrme'
produce fine and beautiful staple, which bring
better price in msrket.
That provision Of the Navy appropriation
bill intended 10 encourage American HEM
growers, will probably fail, for some time, II
add much to the smOuut Of coed hemp in mar
Iket ; because Western farmers have no! sufii
cient confidence in its stability. Two circum
stances, however, are in their favor. The frs
is, the return Of Wings to Congress, in almos
all the recent elections. This party las al
ways recognized the dependence upon eucl
other, Of the three great divisions ofhuman in
dus,ry agriculture, commerce, and manufac
tures and have been willing to afford sucl
projection to one branch a. would not do
press another. and which would enable III
industrial classes Of America, fairly to com
pete with those Of foreign countries. The
are and have been willing to grant that pro
lection to Tho manufacturing interest Of III
East, which they asked for the agricultural iu
ters't Of the West. To refuse favors to lh
East, while we ask Of them favors Cor the Yves,
is almost eqnivalen. to soliciting q refusal
whether We desire aid for internal improev
nsnt', or protection for our industry.
Another circumstance in our favor, il, tha
with every new census, the centre Of rspresen
tstive population moves westward. The mex
spportionmedt of representation. will probsbl
give to the West, the power Of slf-prO.ec

ArrirM Of tic AiaJama--Iwo Days Mtcr
from Calitora a.. another Great ConM.
grafton at & Francisco--l5O Houses
Burned
The steamship Alabama, Captain Foster,
arrived in port this morning. She left
Chagres on the 23d ult.
BY the Alabama we have San Francisco
dates to the 18th September. The most
important news we find is contained in the
extra which announces another disastrous
conhagration in San Francisco.
From the San Francisco Herald, (Ei1i,u.)
San Francisco may be called the City OF
the Conhagra.ions. Another tremendous
fire has swept over u large portion OF the
town, destroying abou. $50 buildings. For.
tunately, this time it was confined to To-
cality where no extensive business was car.
ried on, and where the loss, consequently,
was not so great. We presume half mil.
lion of dollars will cover the value OF the
destroyed.
The fire originated in the bar room of
house on jackson street, called the Phila.
lelphia House, bet ween Kearney and Du.
pont streets. When the fire companies
came on the ground, several houses were
already in a large blaze, and the fire wa,
spreading rapidly. 1t extended towards
Dupont street, and, at the same time, in
lateral objection, towards Portsmouth
square. In the whole space between Jack.
on street and the plaza, there were no
rick buildings to stay the progress OF the
ire, and all efforts to arrest it were unavail
ng. Water was wholly wanting, and
he firemen were consequently poweress.
The office of the Pacific News, was burned.

Mammoth Packing House.

Messrs. SAMUEL & Moss commenced slaugh.
iering Beef at their house. last Monday. A
gentleman who visited the establishment, has
kindly favored ua with the following particu-
lars:
The house covers forty thousand feet. and is
the largest establishment, CT the kind in the
United States, except the house Of AshbrooL,
Of St. Louis. They can kill and pack 100
bulicoks, or 1900 hogs per day, and with bu,
little trouble can prepare to kill 200 Of the for
mer, md 1000 Of the latter. They have three
large iron tanks, where they can render $4,000
pounds lard Or tallow per day. These tanks
are worked by steam, and produce beautiful
article. The lard from this house was pro-
nouncta the best 10. received in New Orlesns
last winter.
The house 10 so arranged tina. every article
10 carried TO ito appropriate place by railroads
thus saving all immsnse amount of labor.
We may remark that Msssrs. GASo &

house, and will commence operations in . fs "
