The Examine Makers

The National Intelligencer remarks
that the mails continue to furnish cold
comfort TO the famine makers, either as
regards the crops at home or abroad
The crops in England and throughout
Europe generally prove to be unusual
ly abundant. The London Times, in o
leader on this subject, says:
"From this harvest to the next there
can be no doubt that the difference in
the price of wheat compared with that
in the previous twelve months will be
ut least Cos. quarter in favor Of the
public, which, on tho whole consump.
ton, will amount to boon Of twenty.
five millions of pounds to that body on
wheat alone, besides corresponding re.
lief in other grain. Even the cost Of
the war sinks Ia triae, compared with
this bounty from the skies; and, not.
wilhstanding all the lavish expenditure
incurred, we now stand better prepai ed
tor war by some twenty miliuns ,llan a
lwelre'month ogp."

Kew Kink In the Hog Trade.

We learn that buyers and drorars,
owners and feeders Of hogs have been
hiring, buying, renting as the case may
be, the "mast" in all sections of the
country tn feed their hogs on until the
packing season. Mr.. Quigley. our sx-
tensive dealer, has hired large sections
of the mast woods in Ohio and Grayson
counties, bought out the exclusive priv
ilege. and having marked his hogs turn
ed them loose to fatten Oh the acorns,
beech.nuts, &c. 1t is "root pigor die
with them, as there will be no corn-cribs
to fall back on. u.a a.sasa
Another new feature in the trade this
season consists in the various grades Of
hogs that will be brought TO market, or
offered for sale, the buyer and seller ma
king their contracts for 'slop.fed,' mast
fed,' or'corn,fed' hogs, the prices vary
ing of course with the various ways in
which the porker has been fed.-Lou-
isuiile Courier. s m- M.

The Late Riot in Cincinnati.

About two months since the Presby
teriaus fitted up building near the
White Mills, in the Twelfth Ward, aud
started therein Sabbath School. The
second Sunday after the school was o.
pened party Of Germans waited upon
the officers of the school and requested
them 10 close the same. The request
was not complied with. The next Sat.
urday night the room was entered by
persons who tore up the books, and
broke up and threw out the furniture.
The Trustees of the Church rented
small brick house near the White Mills
and fitted it up for school purposes
Previous to their again opening the
school they were informed that if they
attempted to reopen it they would be
mobbed, and their room treated as it
was before. The trustees expostulated
with the prime movers in the affair.
Hard words passed between them. and
the Germans declared with oaths, ahat
they would riddle the house and kill the
parties if they attempted to open tho
school. ...-. .
By s o'clock in the evening, hundreds
of persons had congregated upon l1ur-
rison road, between the Brighton House
and Millcreek, quarrelling. The friends
of the trustees attacked two houses, oc-
cupied by Germans, and owned by Jno.
Coleman, and riddled them completely.
A riot ensued; pistols were fired, AMI
stones and clubs thrown. Three msn
were shot, and number otherwise ill.,
iured, after which the Germans com
menced retreat. The other party
then went to the Western Avenue House
broke in the windows and doors, and
threw the furniture into the road. At
10 o'clock posse Of FIVE policemen ar.
rived, and the rioters dispersed. Two
of the policemen, Dole and Heightmanr
were beaten with chains in endeavori"g
TO make an arrest, but were not serious
Iy injured. The names of the three
men who were shot we could n 1T learn.
but understand that their injuries az.
not of fatal character. The men who
were struck with powders are not sori-
ously injured. The fight ended about
half past ten o'clock. There were only
two of the Twelfth Ward police OIL the
ground, but we understand that the
Mayor will institute an investigation :"
ascertain where the police officers wcicp
end the Lieutenants Of Bremen street
station.house. 1t was charged yester.
day, that one ofthem knew that The ITO;
was in progress, but refused to 60 and
put stop the same. An extra polio
force has been placed upon duty in ,ar
neighborhood, to prevent repetition #,
such scenes of violence and blocdshe'',
The Sunday School will be opened, pos
iti,ely, on next Sunday morning.

coyington and Ohio Railroad.

The following extract from q letter
written by member of tho Missouri
Legislature, shows with what interest
the Southern and Western slave States
regard the progress ofour great central
line of railroad:
aTho Covington and Ohio RAILWAY,
extending to the mouth Of Big Sandy,
and uniting there with the Kentucky
railway, onward by Lexington to Lou
isville; will open up an immense tide
of trade and travel throughout the heart
of Virginia. The entire travel Of the
Western and Southwestern slave-hold-
ing States would take that direction
There is growing Discrimination to-
wards the lines oftravel through Illinois
and Ohio, by way of Chicago, cleve-
land, Erie, and ali along the lake shore.
The Southern and Western traveller
dare not take his household servants
with him and his family by either of
these routes, If he should be SO rash
he is subject to annoyance, TO insult, to
have his property taken from him, be-
fore his eyes. Under these circumstan-
ces the railroad line to Big Sandy would
prove richer than the placers of Califur-
MA to Old Virginia. Let her push a.
head. nor cease until the steam whistle
reverberates along the banks of the
Ohio" .t .-. -..-..

Tidings Of the "City Of Glasgow"
..'a New YoRK, Sept. 80.

Capt. Mcl.eary, of the barque Mary
Morris, of Glasgow, arrived here yes,
terday, and reports that on the 18th oil
August, in lat. SO &c, long. l6 OF, wea,
Their very thick at the time and a heavy
sea on, he fell in with the hull ola large
iron ves'el. apparently Clyde built,
painted black, with a bright red bottom
There were three or four compartments
in the hull, aud all the wood work was
entirely burnt out of her. On the next
day Capt. McLeary fell in with and
touk on board full length female fig,
ure head, about Z feet in height, with
her hands extended, and q wreath upon
her head, and green stripes on her dress
The figure is on board the Mary Morris
at the foot Of Pine street. 1t was the
impression Of all on board the barque
that the wreck was that of an iron pro-
peller, supposed to be the City Of Glas'
gov. From the circumstance that no
other iron vessel has been lost, except
the steamer Helen Sloman, some three
years back, appearances favor the belize
that the wreck was that Of the City OF
Glasgow, and that the fate of the poor
souls on board, though different from
that hitherto supposed, was the most
awful that eau occur among the many
disasters incident to the ocean. my
The reporter for the Philadelphia
Ledger states that the City Of Glasgow
had no such figure head as above des-
cribed; but as the figure was found on
the day after passing the wreck, it may
have belonged TO another vessel, ss

The night each expecting every hour to
be his last.
The morning came, but not living
soul could be seen but our own party
CONSISTING con- Of seven men. About noon,
Mr., s, ri, Woodruff, of New York,
was was relieved by death, and all the 9TH
ers, now began to suffer severely from N
,be ' war wan, Of water, except George +.
Allen, and myself Night at last came
m thick and dreary, with our minds
made up that neither of us would see
the lipht of another day. Very soon
three more of our suffering party were
relieved by death, and Mr.. Allen. a
vonnp man and myself, were all that
was now left, aud we were now much
exhausted. We slept for while du'
ring the night, and became somewhat
refreshed. .s.r..-;
Abou, an hour before daylight on
Friday the goth, we saw a vessels light
near US. We all sxerted ourselves to
the utmost of our abilities in mailing,
but The lirh, disappeared to the east
ward of US. Soon after daylight bark
hove in sigh, to tho northwest. The
fog having lightened little, we observ'
ed tina, she was steering apparently TOR
us, but in short time she appeared to
have changed her course again, and we
were doomed to bitter Disappointment
We, | feel hopes that some Of our fellow
sufferers have been seen and rescued by
them, ......s .I.--
Shortly after ship was discovered to
the eastward, steering directly for us.
As she approached they fortunately dis:
covered man on raft near them, and
succeeded in saving him. This man sa-
we'd is q Frenchman, who was a passen-
ger on board the steamer with which
we came in collision. He informed the
Captain that others were on pieces Of
the wreck, and he proceeded to cruise
around in search Of them. We were
taken on board at about three O'Clock,
P. NJ, after an exposure of 46 hours, in
most exhausted condition.
Shortly after Mr.. james Smith, Of
Mississippi, was discovered aud rescued
About dusk another piece of the wreck,
on which were FIVE Of our fremen, was
discovered, and the sufferers rescued
Mono others could be found.
Captain John Russell, Of the Cam
bria, proves to have been the captain
of the Jesse Stevens, whose memorable
rescue by Captain Nye. of the Pacific
will be remembered.
Captain Luce, with his fellow suffer
ers, expected to leave for New York on
Saturday evening. ..&...
Captain Luce adds, that at the time
of the collision The anchor Of the steam
er Vesta was drawn through the bows
of the Arctic about eighteen inches a.
boye the water line, and an immense
hole had been made at the same instant
by the fuke of the anchor, about two
feet below the water line, raking the
fore and aft plank, and finally breaking
its chain, left the stock remaining in and
through the Arctic, which rendered the
attempt to draw sail around the bow
of the vessel impracticable.
