Cattle and Hogs.

We have to notice quite a languid feeling in
the pork and beef market. In the early,part Of
the week our packers were Offering SO IS FOR
hogs weighing over 200, but for the last day or
two $3 30 appears to be about the highest Of
fered for hogs weighing 200 lbs and over, with
out however, any contracts being made at those
figures. The holders generally appear to con-
tend pretty firmly for 80 II appears to be Che
opinion, generally, of those best informed upon
the subject, that the price will settle downftO
about$ 80 80, and some think it will go even less
than that. FL A El ri III n
But few contracts are being made for beef,
and 1926 appears ODE about The, highest offer

The old Californans readily understand that
their Horses and Cattle are worth six or eight
times as much now as before the purchase and
their land has value in a nRuch higher ratio
but this they understands it puts much none Y
in their purse, as they sell horses and Cattle
freely. But whenever a little money is called
FOR in the shape Of taxes TO support The new
Government, they feel agreat hardship, and long
for the "good old times TO return again. They
have the idea that their connection with the
northern part Of the State, is the whole cause of
their taxation, supposing that they can in SOME
way, if set off from us, save all expense, vet
keep all the profit. . ,1 .'h

1t may be supposed that Slavery has something

iurally it is free Soil, but not SO with the north

PUBLIC MEETIN

Pursuant to previous notice, public meeting
was held at the court house, in this place, on
Monday last, TO adopt measures to counteract
the malign influence upon the slave population
of this county which certain secret Northern alb
clifton emissaries are supposed to be producing
upon their minds.
On motion, Judge William Hudgens was APP
pointed President, and Thomas u. Bryan invited
~. to act as Secretary. ee .,5.,-,..--,. ..
The object of the meeting was explained by
. Thomas r. Bryan, on whose motion committee

absence made the following report, which was
adopted by the meeting: .......
WHEREAS, many of the preachers and lay mem
bcrs of the M. L. Church at the North, have,
from the pulpit, and through 2 the religious
O newspapers under their control, encouraged
resistance to ar act Of Congress, known as the
Fugitive Slave Law: and whereas, said
Church persists in sending their Abolition
preachers among us, apparently for no other
object than to render DIR slave population dis
satisfied with their condition. BE it, there

TEA, COFFEE AND INDIGO.

says: We received. yesterday, a visit
from Mr.. Francis Bonynge,' a gentle
man who has spent IA years in The East,
actively engaged in the cultivation and
manufacture of Indigo Sugar, Saltpetre.
Tea and Coffee. and whose present OBJ
ject is to introduce into the Southern
States the culture of the Tea Plant, the
Mangoe Tree, Date Tree, Coffee Plant,
Sc, and the Melons and vegetables OF
the East Indies, and 10 carry out the
manufacture of the Tea Leaf, and also
OF the Indigo Plant, and TO give a full
and fair trial to both Tea and indigo
Mr.. Bonynge informs US that the soil and
climate Of the Southern States are more
suited to the cultivation of Tea, than
those even in China, and that Indigo,
which was, b~y-the-bye, formerly pro-
duced here, can be grown to any extent,
and that the Coffee Plant mall probable
ity would flourish here to a great advan-
tage, inasmuch as the soil and undula.

favor, and the cold of the latitude o.
