The Prospects in the cid Dominion


We have been permitted to extract the follow
ing from business letter written by an intelli-
gent gentleman residing in the Valley of Vir-
ginia, to gentleman of this city. The writer of
the letter takes no part in politics. and merely
expresses the opinion Of locker on:
General Scott is gaining. The Wings are all
returning. One in our county had bolted, but
viii probably yet return not another, it is said
in the county stands aloof. The evidence of
Gen. Pierce's anti slavery feeling, and anti
fugitive slave law opinions, is overwhelming him.
Many Democrats won't vote for him. They'll
perhaps not vote for Scott, but stay at home |
am now decidedly of opinion that Scott will get
pirginia* Party spirits binding, but can't make
yircinians shut their eyes to such proof as il
poured out from the press, but especially from thu
stump--rostrum- The Wings here II
the Valley give free rostrum invite replies, ant
all sides attend. This opens the window and let
out light. The iron interest Of West Virginia ha
suffered seyerely--and the Wings hurl the tarif
doctrines Of Jefferson at the Democrats 1t II
said that Mr. Doyle, one of the Wing electors hat
accepted a challenge to debate with Democrat
opponent the points at issue in the canvass. Mr.
d. is well prepared, it is said, with Jeferson's
speeches and letters to maui his adversary. The
debate will come off next Thursday. Set down
the Old Dominion as true to her most distinguished
living son"

HoGs.-The packing season is approaching, and
until quite recently prices of hogs have had an up.
ward tendency. Within few days, however, "a 70
action has been perceptbe, which lie in part owing
to the very material decline in the hog products
hand in all the leading markets. also to the fact
that consumption, owing to high prices, has ma.
terially fallen of. The prospect that there will be
full average number Of hogs oil through the hog.
appears that the southern planters and farmers
have turned their attention TO raising more hogs
and corn than formerly, which will tend TO lessen
the demand from those quarters.

was also made at S.. The farmers In Hardin and
