A SECOND GREYTowN AFFAm.-The citizens
of Albany and Greenbush have been waging
vigorous war upon the swine, On Saturday
night, about 10 O'clock, the people of the latter
PLACE stormed and carried an extensive fortified
piggery on Greenbush Island. a fotilla OF
boats landed the storming party, and they car
ried the place by a coup de main. After the
victory, the garrison was taken up to sack, &C.
cording to the recognized rule in such cases,
and, the pens having been torn down, were
burned. The poor pigs, thus unceremoniously
turned out of house and home, huddled together
in one corner of the island, much as we may
suppose the inhabitants of Greytown to have
done, winking their funny little eyes and won
dering what next. But the light of the con-
flagratien alarmed Albany and Greenbush; the
bells rang, the proprietors of the swine armed
and flew to the rescue, but only to behold the
ashes Of their pens and the diminishing coat
skirts of the invaders, who had retreated It
was gallant affair, and, barring the incon-
yenience to the pigs quite justifable on sanitary
grounds, Buffalo Democracy,

CoTToN AND SLAVE STATISTICS The South
western News makes up, from the Census Re-
ports, some very important statistics, peculiarly
interesting to the cotton growing and Slave
States; South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ala
bama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and Arkan
sas The whole area is 662,19 square miles, Of
which q ,675, 682 acres are improved land The
whole number of slaves 1913, 768, whose aver
age rate Of increase for the last ten years is
SAG per cent The number of bales of cotton
made is 2,2O4,521; averaging 1907 bales per
thousand slaves. Average number of acres per
bale is 1919
Of Georgia, the area is $4,000 square miles
improved land 6,378,479 acres; slaves 3S1 1852
rate of increase for the last ten years 35,55 per
cent; bales of cotton 499,091; bales per thou
sand slaves 1909; acres improved land per bale

These statistical views are not limited to the

A CASE OF CoNsoIENoE,--A correspondent Of
the Philadelphia North American, writing from
Port-au-Prince, under date July %, says:
GA curious circumstance occurred here few
days since. A seaman on board the Prussian
schooner Kennette Kingsford appeared before
the American Commercial Agent, and on oath
declared himself to be the person who killed
John Meyer, last February, somewhere in the
woods near Burlington, N. j. He stated that
he fed, under the name of Brown, to London
(Eng..) and that while there he heard that q
person named Gotleb Mulheisen had been ar
rested and would be tried for the murder, and
that there was strong circumstantial evidence
| against him, and now his conscience will not
let an innocent man suffer, SO he desired to be
sent to the United States for trial The United
States Agent requested Of the Prussian Cousu
that the man should be given up, which was
positively refused, SO that his solemn declara.
ton was taken before witnesses, and. no doubt
will soon be in the United States. In the NEAR
time the man has disappeared, and neither
Prussian nor American Consul know any thing
of his whereabouts. He gave his name as Johr
Muller, born in Wirtemberg, and at the time o
the murder was in the employ Of Alderman Soa
of Washington township, Burlington county
N. ]. We think here that he will find his way
to the United States, and surrender himself Il
