The Louisville [Ky.] Courier says
The packing season is about ovd r
and the number of hogs slaughterfo Z

excess of 10000 or $4,000 ovfl
the result of last season. In the
weight of the hogs and the quantity
of pork and lard made this seasd I
there is a deficiency of fifteen PEI
cent.
At the various packing points b
the Ohio river above Cincinnat i
there is a efciency of 25,773 hogs
this season, and writer in the Gin
cinnati Pr ice Current adds that the
farmers haFe put up very few hog $
indeed this season for their own use,
At Co4nersville, Indiana, ther
was about $4,000 hogs packed this
season. The Bedford Ia Standard q
learns that the Lawrence county
packers have put up some three O +

than last year There has been
packed this season by Bedford mer :

Messrs. Coons & Dobyns, of Mays

with the following statement:
We have obtained from reliable e
information the following facts with
regard to the hog crop this season,
as compared with last, and as it will
doubtless be interesting to some Of
your readers, we will thank you to
publish it; the statement We know
can be relied upon as correct, or as
nearly so as it is possible to give it,
If it varies from the true quantity,
it will not be an over estimate Of this

The Position Of the South.

| The Richmond Republican, uses
the following beautiful language in
reference to the position of the
South: our opinion, the South
has never occupied so strong and
impregnable position since the
foundation of the Government as al
present. She has the Constitution
and the Law and the whole force
of the United States, regulars and
militia, on her side, and the ques-
tion which is now to test the stabil-
| ity Of the American Government.
| She says to the North--We led the
way iiitoIhis Union; we remain
faithful to its Constitution and its
laws; We shall never desert the
Union; if you choose TO rebel, or Sc
cede, 90, but we ABIDE! Ours is the
flag whose bright constellation has
blazed in victory upon hundred
batt!e-fields; ours the glorious tradi-
tons OF the Republic; ours the army
and navy; ours are the true United
States, which will prove themselves
no less able to thwart the designs
oftraItors than to hurl back the tide
Of foreign invasion, Ours is not
the Past but the Future of the
American Union. 1t shall be re-
served to US to lead the van in the
march of Republican progress, and
to invite the oppressed of every
cline to an asylum among the free.
We will preserve pure and IN
dimed the lamp of genuine Llber-
ty, long after its light has gone out
amid the turbulent waves. Go
who will, the South remains, and
fights her battles IN the Union to
which she led the way, and of
whose glories and whose hopes she
will not permit herself to be de
prived either by foes abroad or
traitors at home"

PRESSURE OF THE SEA- IF a
piece of wood which, floats on the
water be forced down to p great
depth in the sea, the pressure of I he
surrounding liquid will be forced IN
to- the pores of the wood. an b so in
cre ease its weight it will no lohgerIbe
capable Of floating or rising to the
surface. Hence the timber OF
ships, which have founderdd in the
deep part Of the ocean, never rise
again. to the surface, like those
which have sunk near the shore.
A diver may with perfect Fmpuni>
tyI plunge to certain depths of the
sea; but there is limit beyond
which he ca mot live mn der the
pressure to which heis subject
For the same reason it is probable
that there is 3 depth at which the
fishes cannot live. They have, ac-
cording to JosIin, been caught in a
depth at which they must have sus-
tanned a pressure of eighty tons to
ed ach square foot Of the surface OF
