The Rochester (N.Y.) Advertiser OF the
9Th inst, says there is = greater apathy at
this time among miilers than II remembers
to have witnessed for. the last ten years
Las. year ,tthis sius nearly. or quite all
the mills Id the city were husily engaged,
but 1t the psesent time not more than
fourth of the grinding force i employed =
The reason is that manufacturers are salts
fed they canno, operate atthe present rates
OF wheat. except a, a serious loss. The
banks were suffering from q plethora Of
funds, natural resul, Of inactien in the
great milling interest, but however Wiling
ihey might be 10 accommodate, neither
spectators nor manufacturers care to get
money for the purpose Of grain or hour op-
eraiions.
The Advertiser expects that but short
time will elapse before this state Of things
win be changed, but the above facts in re-
la;ion to one Of the most important and ex-
iensive grain regions in the whole country,
shows the utter utility Of any cotnbination
of spectators attempting to controlthe pr''
ces OF the unparalleled wheat crop which
was harvested the present season. There
was good deal Of talk short time since
OF such an attempt being made, but there
is certain amount Of risk which even the
most inve,erate spectators are indisposed
10 encounter, and the result must be that
the price of breadstuffs will reach more
reasonable rate, and the great mass OF con-
sumers be benefited by the over-howing
bounties Of Providence. 1850

The Rossrrs: War THEY ARE ArrkR.

The ROBBINS WHAT THEY Ahk AIlAn'
We quote the following from the st. Louis
Inteligen 'er, Pro-Slavery paper:
The town of Atchison, in Kansas VIII
soon have an unenviable notOriety. In
giving the case of Mr.. Butler, the Democrat
limited the same view which we gave the
Intelligsncer two weeks age, Of the motive
Of these Atchison gentry. That paper says
that "the slightest suspicious agsinstan IN.
dividual, particularly il he have good land
claim, is sufficient to render his residence
among them dangerous to the peace and
prosperity of Kansas" Exactly so. We
have no doubt there is as much desire to get
al the property OF the Free State men by
these violent proceedings as there is 70 adj
vance the interests Of slavery. The meet
ing whose proceedings Mr.. Butler was re-
| CURED to sign or be lynched had but small
portion Of the people Of Atchison present
at it. Its proceedings were such as It was
well known no Free State man would sign.
Hence to resolve that all who would not
sign should leave. was a short way. a. We
| before said, to get hold of their property.
They are after the town lots and good
claims Of the Free State men, and hence
| he deter,ninatio to drive those out against
| whom an excitement can lie raised.
