The above exhibit shows that the current

The above exhibit shows that the current
rates for Hog products are, taking them all to-
gether, as low as the average for the preceding
three years; and considering the general condi-
ton of the country at this time, compared with
what it was during the period of nine years,
from 1913 to 1858, present prices must be re-
garded as being fully as low as the average for
the latter time. Sugar and Molasses are below
the average for nine years; also, Flour and Po-
tatoes.
A fact, quite important and somewhat remar-
kable, presented in this statement, is the high
price of Beef Cattle, Hogs, and Sheep and al
so of Mackeral. The advance in these articles
has been quite steady since l843, and notwith-
standing the large decline lately experienced in
| Salt Meats prices remain steady, and will, I'M
doubtedly, be sustained pretty well, if not fully
during the Summer. The high price to which
consumers will thus be compelled to submit for
fresh Meats cannot fail to affect materially the
consumption of sailed provisions. Fish, which
have been used as substitute for picked and
smoked meat in times of high prices, cores
pond in value with fresh meat; so that consum-
ers will be able to find no cheap substitute for
Hog products; at least not while prices remain
near their present range.
We regard to the cause of the disproportion
in the value of fresh and salt Meats we may re-
mark that it is attributable chiefly to a scarcity
of Cattle, Sheep, and fat Hogs. From the far
Western States we have advices of extremely
limited supplies of Beeves, owing to the demand
which has been experienced from California
emigrants; and in our own and neighboring
States, the scarcity is caused by the demand
which has existed from this and the Eastern
markets for eighteen months past. The enhan-
ced value of Wool induces farmers to increase
their stocks of Sheep, and consequently, the
number offered for the butchers knife is COM
paratively limited. Fat Hogs are scarce, be-
cause the high prices obtained in December and
January induced holders to sell all that were fit
for the slaughterhouse; and also, great many
that were only ordinary stock The demand
from butchers has, therefore, been fully equal
to the number offered since the close of the
packing season.
This disproportion in prices is also attribute
bic, in part, to the heavy supplies of Hog pro-
ducts. The high prices at which the market
opened, and that were maintained in the early
part Of the season, induced consumers to econ
omise, and it was found that the amount going
into consumption was BY no means in proper
ton to the supplies. The consequence was

ravine near the lower end of the bar at that
place. and about five miles above where the
Middle flows into the Main Yuba. The gold
found in these diggings is in Jumps varying
from q few grains to half an ounce, and is free
from quartz. The rayine promises to yield
abundantly. The same gentleman states that
miners generally are doing well in bank dig
gings, at the Crosting, but the drifts are not
being worked yet, though they will be in few
days, as the companies are just getting the
water to them.
Mr.. G.. C. Lusk, the express messenger Of
Adams & Co., furnished the Sacramento Daily
Union with the following existing news yester-
day morning, at L o'clock, just as that paper
was about to be put to press
The Indians have committed so many dep
relations in the north of late, that the people
are enraged against them, and are ready to
knife them, shoot them, or inoculate them
with the small pox-all of which have been
done.
Some time since the Indians in Colusa county
DESTROYED about five thousand dollars worth of
stock, belonging to MessrS. Themes & Toombs;
since which time they have had two men
employed at one hundred dollars per month, to
hunt down and kill the Diggers like other
beasts of prey.

A RIVAL TO TEA-THE LEAVES OF THE Cor
FEE PLANT.-The Singapore Free Press recon-
mends coffee leaf as a substitute for the berry
The writer appears to be an English planter of
the Dutch settlement of Padang, in Sumatra
where the coffee plant has been cultivated foy
several generations, and where it is now pro-
duced in larger quantity, and of better quality
than in any country of the Maavan Islands,
Java excepted. The coffee plant is an ever
green large shrub, which yields profusion tDf
leaves, and bears fruit for about twenty years.
The leaf and even the twigs, have in minor
degree, the same stimulating and exhilerating
property as the berry, and its habitual use BY
the natives Of the country, agricultural Malays
of very simple habits, and little amendable to
innovation, shows that they at least find the
coffee leaf to make wholesome and agreeable
beverage

From the Memphis Eagle & Enquirer.

The PACIFIC RAILRoAD-THE MEMPHIS
ROUTE-CoL. BENToN's PAMPHLET LETTER.
1t will be seen by the following extracts, which
we make from letter of the judicious and reh-
able Washington correspondent of the Charles
ton Courier, that the Importance of Memphis as
the eastern terminus of the Pacific Railway and
as great Railroad centre generally, is begin
ing to be recognized not only at the National
capitol but also among the money-kings of the
North and East:
"Col. Benton is to come out with pamphlet
on Monday, on the subject of a railroad to the
Pacific. He adheres to his plan-the northern
rOute-which, if practicable at all, will cost
three hundred millions Meanwhile, l have
distinct knowledge that a private company, or
ganized in New York, will commence on their
own account railroad from the Bay of Mata-
gorda to FL Paso. and thence to San Diego
Their route is 1850 miles-Col. Bentons is q
500 miles. Their road will cost thirty millions
Col. BentOn's will cost two hundred millions
but they assume its cost, in their estimates at
one hundred and twenty-five millions. Upon
an equal amount of business, their road will pay
twenty dollars for one dollar that Col Benton's
road will pay.
The country will be surprised at the magni-
tnde and boldnesS of the New York enterprise.
But from the manner in which they have taken
it up, l have no doubt they will carry it through.
The scheme embraces branch railroad to
Arkansas, at the point where it will meet the
road designed, and for which Congress has pro-
vided by a liberal grant to that State, from
point opposite the Ohio, and another branch to
a point opposite Memphis The Dhole system
Of Northern, Southern, and Western Railroads,
tends to MEMPHIS, as to a central point.
The northern and eastern capitalist were
bent, originally, upon Col. Benton's or some O.
Their northern route to the Pacific. But they
have cone, reluctantly, to consider the South
eyn route as the BEST for the commerce fthe

SILVER FROM CHINA-The Baltimore Ameri-

China, which is paid for in silver, is gradually
draining that country of that metal, and that
the silver of the active commercial nations OF

garded as steadily augmenting, by twelve or fif-
teen millions yearly from China alone.
