ESThe Courier last week pronounced
the desperate outrage committed upon
the person of an old German lady, while
on board the steamer Ohio, "all hum

the trial, and was correct in every par

CoEGREss.-We can see nothing in
the proceedings of this body worth no
ticing. In the House, the select com
mittee on amending the Constitution,
was instructed to inquire into the expe-
diency of making provision for the cleo
ton by the people of all postmasters
and collectors of revenue.
Business has been much impeded by
the Hards and Softs of New York in
quarreling over spoils, and opening old
sores to the gaze of the people, which
is probably very interesting to the for
mer, but rather sickening to the latter.
This body appears to be about as tri-
fling as the Ohio Legislature, and it can
only be compared to some of the Dem
ocratic officers in Gallia county.

Il ONO LEsIsLArURE.-0wing 70 the
late hour in receiving our papers, We
are compelled to omit much of thePEo-
ceedlngs of this body, we otherwise
would not. In the Senate, q bill has
been introduced enquiring INTO the e1-
pediency of providing by law for the
sale Of ali the public works of the State,
also the sale of the State stocks in rail-
roads, canals and turnpikes. A peti-
ton was presented asking that salaries
instead of fees be faed for the compen-
sation of county treasurers- A bill
was introduced to abolish capital pun
ishmeut.
In the House, the Senate resolutions
in relation to giving the public lands to
actual settlers at the cost of the same
caused by extinguishing the Indian tt
ties, &C., after an animated discussion,
passed. A bill providing against usury
and fixing the rate of interest at six per
cent, was introduced.
An astounding disclosure was made
in the House of Representatives on the
18th. The snug sum of one hundred
and seven thousand three hundred and
tsOenty-rine dollars, was drawn from the
public treasury, on account of the Board
of Public Works, which sum was not
included in the official report of the ex-
penditures of last year. We believe
the Governor recommends additional
taxationl Citizens of Gallia county,
what think you of these things?

PROBABLE ADVANCE IN A STAPLE
Our aquatic friend, Capt. JOINS. MYERS,
arrived, at home on Monday last, having
performed the almost incredible feat Of
journeying from the Crescent City to
Gallipolis in seventeen days! Of we are
not mistaken he once made the trip
down in about the same length Of tiEe. J
From him we learn much of stirring in
terest, in the way of nevs, incident, etc,
forwhich we are ledgered. To say that
the redoubtable Professor looked ,OeH is
but modieum of the aet,-"the lilly
and the rose, etc. Z The Captain says
that the rumor which had gained Gre
dence about the time of his departure
from New Orleans, to the effect that he
had Joined an Aretic expedition, is with.
out foundation, as is also that other re.
port that Dan Rice had engaged him tc
do grand sommersault in his amphithe,
atre. on the 4th of July next. May hi.

while the French will send still larger pro-

FROM THE FAR NORTH WEsT-The Coun-
Gil Bluffs Bugle publishes the summary of
" talk" with Col. A. G. Vaughn, Govern
ment agent for thirteen tribes of Northern
Indians The Colonel distributed $3.50,
among his charge, which sum they are to
receive annually as long as they maintain
the Laramie treaty. The tribes, amounting
in individuals to 10000, were friendly and
at peace among themselves. He arrived at
Yellow Stone on the 4th of July. On the
Sd he had seen "plenty of ice on the banks
of the Missouri" The whole country north
of Iowa is broken, sandy, and valueless
waste, but to view presents scenery of the
most magnificent character. In one region
(north of Iowa) he found every thing on the
surface of the ground, logs, vegetables, ami
mails, in a partial or complete state of pet
refaction. He saw tortoises by the score
which would weigh upwards of 500 pounds
turned to solid rock. The Colonel brought
with him several specimens of petrefaction,
such as eagles, gulls, reptiles, pieces of wood,
&c. The country he traversed on his return to
Council Bluffs was not visited with any snow
and scarcely with any rain during the win
ter. He reports favoraby of the Sioux, and
it is not the Sioux but the Sauntees who are
creat ting i'll feeling against the Omahas. The
thermometer ranged between 90 and 1909
in August at Fort Pierre, where Mr.. Vaughn
wintered, while in December it fell below
zero. After leaving Sargeants Bluffs he
visited the band of Sauntees who have been
in pursuit of the Omahas, and advised them
to return home, which they promised to do.

A better description of the manner in
which sea-sckness 'takes down" the lofti-
est and most pompous character was never
written than that which is furnished by that
illustrious fiunkey, Mr.. Chawls Yellow

Value of the Corn Crop.

At a legislative agricultural meeting, held
in Boston, the subject of discussion for the
evening, was as follows:-" Is the increased
culture of Indian corn, worthy the attention
of the farmers of the Commonwealth? ?"-
We append few of the remarks made.
Mr. Sprague spoke at some length upon
the history Of Indian corn, and the progress
that has been made in its cultivation. In
the old Colony the crop has been doubled
Still there is much to learn in regard to its
culture, even by the best farmer in the State.
The importance of Indian corn to the far
mer was also dwelt upon.
DR.. Reynolds of Concord, spoke of the
nutritive value of different crops. Taking
Johnson's estimates and applying them to
our crops, he made corn for home use to be
about twice as valuable as wheat; but for
sale about the same. He also made it much
more valuable than turnips-one pound of
corn being equal to eight pounds of turnips.
A similar result was shown in comparison
between corn and English hay, meadow hay
and oats. Dr. Reynolds thought the English
and German tables, upon which our esti-
mates are generally made are not adapted to
our soil and crops, and need revision before
they can be adopted generally. He had
COllG W tIlc COHCluSlOu lHdt IOlh 40 tllC
most profitable crop the farmer can raise.
Mai. Wheeler, of birmingham, presented
some statistics showing the comparative
cost of raising different crops, and their
value, the result of which was, that corn
was more valuable than wheat, oats, car
rots, or hay. He believed corn to be one of
the most profitable crops the farmer can
raise at the present prices. Any farmer, he
thought, could raise So bushels to the acre,
if the land is ploughed deep.
Mr.. Brown addressed the meeting upon
the renewed importance of the culture Of the
corn crop, especially in view of the disturb
ances in Europe. The export of wheat,
corn and flour, the first two weeks of this
year, as compared with last year, shows a
great increase, amounting in value to ST.
247,S0O. He advised farmers to go into
the culture Of the corn crop.
