HoGs.-Of hogs, prices and the CON-
ing crop, the Louisville Courier, says:
The prospect OF the next seasons
supply Of hogs are favorable for larger
number than we have ever had. All &C.
counts concur in the opinion that there
will be a large surplus in Kentucky
We have seen various persons from all
the south western sections of that State,
who report hogs more abundant than ev.
er and the corn crops in the mos. prom.
ising condition, and the hogs in all the
counties they passed through as good
conditioned and fat now as they usually
are in November. This is presnmptive
evidence that feed is plentiful and some
TO spare.
We learn by letter from ST. Louis,
to mercantile house in this city. thai
10000 hogs were offered there at 81 cts
net, bu: we're refused. We also learn
that 5000 were offered on change in
Cincinnati, by a house in Madison, In
diana, at 81 cts, which were also refus
ed. The farmers along the southern
portion of the State are offering hogs al
"a cents gross, on their farms. We pre-
sent these facts without comment.

ANEW u ONns ~Sf''
A private litter from Monteviedo da-
ted July "a states that revolution took
place in that city few days previous
!, was rumored that more trouble was at
hand.
The revolution alluded to took place
on the 18Th. III
A contest took place between the na-
,iena guard, who are now in favor Of
Oribee, and the black troops OF the
line.
The ARRAY lasted about ten minutes,
when the National Guard threw down
their arms and fled, leaving five dead on
the field.
The greatest excitement prevailed
throughout the city.
A few days afterwards the President
announced change in the Cabinet, and
also that the National Guards had been
suppressed.
Il was also reported that Gen. Oribee
was about to make an attempt on the
Capital, for which purpose he was COL
lec.ing troops in the mountains, about
four leagues from the city.
The government were organizing
force TO oppose him.

Bachelor 3UcHANAN.-Few perhaps
know the real cause OF the long, lonely
life of our new Minister to st. James,
Mr.. Buchanan. The story is briefly
tolc. When in his early manhood, he
paid his addresses 10 beautiful lady OF
his native city of Lancaster, Pa. Each
became deeply enamored and they were
engaged. On given evening, she re.
quested his company 10 party at the
house of friend, which he declined on
the plea Of business engagements. Cir
cumstances rendering it necessary, he,
late in the evening. gallanted a young la
dy TO her home, and on The way-fheq
met Mortified and chagrinned al what
she deemed uniaithfulness aud deseriion,
and imagining the worst. she left the city
early in the morning and returned-a
corpse! Such is the sad history of his
early love, nor can the high distinction
and trust make him forget, nor The
wreaihs of honor that encircle his brow
bury the memory of the early and the
lost Chicago Journal.
