Pork AND Corn IN INDIANA.-A cores
pondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, writing
from Peru, Ind, Sept. 9th, says:
The corn crop through this region is bet
ter than the average for some years previous.
both In the quantity per acre and the num-
Der of acres cultivated. There are great
many purchasers bargaining for it now, be-
fore it is harvested They are generally from
the south part Of the State and from Ken
lucky. Some are buying for speculation,
and some for fatting pork They purchase
the hogs in the southern counties for from
ISL to $l.50 per 100 lbs, and get the corn
here from $40 to $22 per acre, according to
the yield per acre, which is estimated at
from 50 TO so bushels. They drive the hogs
here to feed them. The persons engaged in
this operation are generally not connected
with the regular pork-packing business
This latter class are said to be very silent re-
specting the pork business, and are not max
ing any contracts, influenced BY two rea-
sons-frst, the great amount Of old pork
now in market; secondly, the uncertainty
of obtaining money.

SAMUEL JOHNSON, Sec'ry.

VERMONT ELECTIoN.--The election in
Vermont is another Nebraska Settler
1t. foots up as follows: Wing State ticket
chosen by over five thousand majority an
entire wbig delegation in the u. s. House of
Representatives, an entire anti-Nebraska
state senate, and an overwhelming majority
of the same sort in the lower House, which
ensures the election OF a whig United States
senator, who will probably be Mr.. Cola
mer, who was Postmaster-Gener under
General Taylor 1t would be pleasant
event to see Old Zack's Postmaster General
coming into the Senate from Vermont, and
his second d-assistant, Fitz Henry Warren,
coming in from Iowa. Who will say that
the Anti-Nebraska sentiment is not national
when the extreme east and the extreme west
speak one voice in regard to it.
