The Corn Crops.

The Intelligencer. Maury CO., Tenn, says,
we have predicted that corn will be as cheap
in this section next spring as at the present
time The crop will be short one, it is true,
but the farmers have gathered large quantities
of fodder, which, together with the fine crops
of oats raised the present year, will enable them
to winter their stock with comparatively but
little corn. There will not be perhaps, more
than one half the number Of pork hogs fattened
this season. A general system of economy
will be practised throughout the country, and
the result will be plentiful supply of corn
From present indications, Pork will be worth
from four to five cents. We have heard of sew
eral recent transactions at that rate.

TBhumanity at the North.

The N. 7. Tribune has long statement of
the hardships to which passengers on the for
ward decks Of the steamers between New York
and Albany are subjected. 1t says that they
are not permitted even to 60 on board the
vessel at the common gangway, but are rough
ly ordered TO 20 forward. They have nothing
to sleep on but the deck. and crowds of emf
grants, reeking with miasms, are poured upon
them, 80 that there is not room for all even to
sit down, and the men must take turns in stand
Ing up through the night The Tribune adds:
For the women, space is generally made, 50
that they can sit down and lean their children
against them on this side and that, sometime
their unavoidable meanings 80 that the youngest
and best laced may snatch an hour OF two of
tro.bled slumber during some part Of the weary
night. For the inevitable sickness and distress
OF many, there are no preparations; they must
votnit az they can. Not even rough awning
costing, perhaps, fifty Goilars-is drawn over
them; but the autumn dews fall uninterrupted
upon mother and babe, sire and son; and when
the thunder storms and rain-squas come on,
they have no resource but to huddle close to-
gether, II possible, shrink and SILVER and suffer.
IL Is orr deliberate judgment, that no negro
trader in the South, would permit cargo Of
his human chattles to be carried for single
night with as little regard to their health and
cOmfor-tO say nothing of deceGcy-as is regu-
larry evinced in the transportation of free white
enigrants (many of them American born) from
this city to Albany.
The last remark shows the perfect innocence
of the Tribune, Of any knowledge of the South
at which it is eternalIy howlng.-The editor
says it is his deliberate judgment that no ne
gro trader would permit" &C., as ifhe were
making very bold and hazardous proposition
Why, man, no negro trader in the world is such
a fool-even if yoR will not grant any mercy to
the class-not one ofthem is such born idiot
as to expose his property in that way. His
slaves are kept as comfortable upon their trav-
els, and as safe from rain and storm as you
keep your new hat or new coat. Of course,
black people are not treated at the South like
poor white people at the North Richmond
Dispatch.

THE DRoUTH IN MIDDLE TEYNEssEE.-The
Nashville Banner l6 says: No rain yet! Al
though they could be of no service to the corn
crop now, rains sufficiently copious thoroughly
to saturate the earth, and thus to start vegeta-
ton and keep the grass green and growing un-
til frost would be of immense benefit to the
country, At present there is little or no grass
or green heritage of any description, in many
parts of the region round about this place.
Owners of stock, if they have to commence thus
early in the season to feed away their dry food,
will sustain great Inconvenience and loss; wher-
cas-, by close attention and economy they might
possibly be able to get through the winter toll
era5ly well, provided they could have the ben
eft of the green vegetation usual at this season
Of the year.

not to exceed sixty or seventy Thousand bushels
great falling off from last year and will be

and is worth about 35 to 40 cts. per bushel.
