HoGs.-In Mercer CO., KY, the general
opinion prevails that the price for Hogs can
not exceed So per 100. 1t is said that
spectators are many, and no important
contract has yet been made in that section.
In Henderson county, there have been no
transactions, but it is believed that So will
be the ruling price.
The Cincinnati Gazette SAYS:
For hog products, there continues to be
a very good demand for the season, and in
the Eastern markets meat of all descriptions
is improving in value. This causes an i'm
proved feeling in the hog market, and we
heard OF sale of 500 head, deliverable the
10th inst, at S., and for early delivery
there are now none 10 be had below this
figure. The prospects are decidedly favora-
bic for the farmers-more SO, certainly, than
for other parties.

GLASGOW, MISSOURI,
Thursday Morning, October 90, 1858.
A Good Move,

The last "Banner," at the request of nu.
merous citizens of the ceuhty, calls pub
lie meeting at the Court House in Fayette
on the LIST Monday in November, for the
purpose of forming an Agricultural and
Mechanical Association.
Two or three unsuccessful attempts have
been made to form such an Association, but
for want of interest manifested, total fail
nres were the result. We hope there is a
better feeling extant, and that an Associa-
ton will now be formed, and that we shall
lave fair next year. Will every one who
feels any interest in the subject talk about
1t TO their neighbors, and urge full atten-
dance at The proposed meeting?

Foreign News.

The Eastern question shows new feature.
The war party in Turkey, headed by Me-
hemid Ali, is still eager for war. The Sui
tan refused to sign war declaration got up
against Russia. Riots were feared, SO much
so that the French Ambassador had sent for
assistance to protect the Sultan and Christian
residents from the fury of tie Musselmen.
Four French steam frigates had passed the
Dardanelles, and had anchored before Con-
stantinople. Admiral Dundas alse received
orders 10 move his whole fleet to Constan-
tinople.
The Cars rejection of the modification
made by the Porte 10 the Vienna note, was
known at Constantinople on the 18th. The
expected crisis did not occur, and the minis
try remained unchanged. The feast of Ber-
nam passed over quietly. The Sultan APP
peared in the procession, and was unmolest-
ed.
Advices from Trieste, state that a better
understanding prevails between the war and
peace parties.
The Vienna note caused Austria to inform
the British and French ministers that war
was mpossible-Austria could not assent to
war. 1t also stated that the most perfect
accord existed between Russia and Austria,
touching Turkey. There was a rumor that
Russia demands the cession OF Turkish
province to pay the expenses of occupation
of the Principalities.
The Russians are still sending forward
detachments, and the Turks are erecting for
tifications at all the points in The Black Sea,
between Varna and the mouth of the Dan
ube.
Political affairs in England are quiet.
Meetings have been called in several
cities sympathising with the Greek Chris
tians. 1t was supposed to be Russian
demonstration and consequently few atten-
ded.

GEOLOGICAL SuRvEY.-The St. JOSEPH
Cycle Of the 7th announces the arrival Al
that place, of Professor Swallow, and party
from Council Bluffs, engaged in Geologi.
cal Survey. They travel in boat of their
own, stopping when and where they desire,
The Cycle says:
"We are assured that thus far The survey
has been successful in the extreme, though
as yet. no coal has been found on the river.
No valuable ores except iron could be ex-
pec'ed in this iormation-it being the upper
carboniierous. Several deposits OF valua-
BILE materials for outside paints have been
discovered. From the discoveries here
made, together with the peculiar adaptation
of the country he is led TO believe it one Of
the most beautiful agricultural regions in the
world. 1t is destined at no distant day, (as
soon as its value is made known 10 the
world) 10 be densely populated by a pros
porous agricultural people, the highest des-
tiny State can desire.
The soil is represented as unsurpassed
in IFS productiveness-e elements of durabil-
ity, and the depth greater than in any other
region yet seen, varying in most of the
Prairie, from 4 to 10 feet, and in The bluffs
il is fertile as deep as the bluff formation,
and continues often 10 hundred feet Such
soil, with proper cultivation, we are assur-
ed can never be exhausted and in it, the
possessor has an unfaiing source Of wealth.
Soils have been collected for analysis, in
order to determine the best mode of cultiva-
tion TO prevent exhaustion. We are well
satisfied that the survey will be pushed for
ward with energy and ability, and we need
no better evidence Of eminent skill and sue
cess, than has already been exhibited in the
survey as conducted thus far. Prof. Swal-
low desires all information in regard 10 min
eral springs, ores, &C., &C., 10 be sent 10 the
post offices in the different towns on the
river.
The company remained here two days in
packing up minerals to be shipped, and to
lay in provisions for continuing the survey
down the Missouri river. They left on
Wednesday morning last.

curing his son clerkship in one of the de

Kentucky Tobacco Crop.

Mason CouNTY.--We learn from The
Maysvile Eagle, that the frost in that sec.
tion has not been so heavy as yet, as to in
jure the tobacco. The crop will be small,
but the quality superior.
The Henderson Reporter says that plan
tiers in that neighborhood are busily eneag-
ed taking in tobacco. 1t is not probable that
more than half the usual crop will be real
lied in that county. Such ground as was
early planted yields well, but much of the
late crop is in danger Of frost, aud If it
should escape frost il will be light,

Temperance.

The State Temperance Convention, re-
Gently held at Boonvllle, adopted the follow
ing PLATFORM:
We hold it TO be self-evident that the OBJ
ject of Legislation is the preservation Of
the Government and the highest good OF
the governed. And while every citizen
may make and sell such commodities as are
not prohibited by law, yet it is the proper
business oil Government, to restrain or pro.
hibit the manufacture of, and the traffic in
any article which tends to DESTROY its all.
thoritY, or injure the best interests of com.
munity. And whereas, the manufacture Of
and the traffic in, Intoxicating liquors, more
than all other causes combined, have be-
come destructive to human life, TO the NOR
ais, the peace, the good order, and the hap
piness of society; and is the acknowledged
cause of large proportion of the quarrels,
riots, murders, and other heinous crimes,
which disgrace our nation, and burden our
courts; and whereas, these evils can not be
prevented, while the State authorities con-
tinue to grant license to traffic in ardent
spirits;
Therefore, Resolved, l. That by means
of conventions, lectures, the public press,
by petitions TO our State Legislature, and
by all honorable means, we will endeavor
to secure the passage of law, prohibiting
the manufacture and sale Of all intoxicating
drinks except for medical, mechanical and
sacramental uses.
Resolved 2. That we disclaim any de-
sire TO break up the present political party
organization, but we wish to elect as our
Legislators sober men, whose appetites and
interests will not oppose, and whose princi-
pies are in favor of prohibitory law, and
will use all honorable means to secure the
enactment of such law.
q. Resolved, That this convention re-
commend to each county in our State, the
formation Of county associations, for the
purpose OF carrying out the spirit of the
foregoing resolutions.
The Missouri Conference, at its recent
session, adopted the following:
Resolved, ]. That this Conference re-
commend to the ensuing General Confer
ence, and most respectfully request them so
to change our rule on Temperance as 10 pro-
hibit the use, sale, or manufacture of ardent
spirits as beverage, by members of our
church.
2. That our membership be and are here
by requested to memorialize the ensuing
General Conference on the subject embrace
ed in the Aforesaid resolution, and that the
month of January be fixed as the time for
to it.
3. That the Presiding Elder of each Dis
trict in this Conference be and is hereby re-
quested to furnish to each Preacher in
Charge in his District copy of memorial,
and see that the aforesaid resolution is car
ried out.

G7"7he Democratic PLATFORM is the
title OF new paper, recently started in

Atchson tendencies, and started for his
especial benefit. We observe the St. Jo-

pronounces the Missouri Compromise a
''nonenity," and we infer will advocate its
repeal by Congress as contingent TO the
organization of Nebraska Territory.
We trust proposition for the repeal Of
the Missouri Compromise, or the agitation
Of the slavery question, in any shape, will
not come from the south. Northern men
have the power, and if we open the sub
ject for discussion, or refuse TO adhere 10 the
compromises, the interests OF slavery cannot
fail to lose ground. We are opposed 10 agi-
tation, and warn Senator Atchison and his
