Hogs at Cincinnati are not held so firmly
as last week. The packers have about made

the low prices offered; the sellers whose Wis

be corned themselves, before their pigs shall

The CRISIS is Upon Us.-WAR IN KANSAS
Last Friday night, the telegraph brought us
the startling intelligence that bloody col
lision between the border ruffians and the
free state men, had occurred in Kansas. The
account by this channel is evidently one-si-
drd, as it comes by way of st. Louis.
We do not believe that the free state men
commenced the outbreak, and will withhold
comments till we learn further particulars.
We have long been prepared 10 hear thai
the bloody work had commenced. Let eve
ry free man be ready. IF the north must
fight, let there be no child's play !-lClevc-

SALr.-The supply of salt from the West
Indies, it is ascertain,d, will fall much shor,
of former years. This failure will affect
southern consumers, and will be felt BY the
region supplied from New Orleans. But We
see it stated that the quantity manufactured
at the Onondaga works, New York, will
reach 6,O00,00O bushels this year, which is
an increase of half a million Of bushels over
the average annual product. This will GOV
er half the deficiency. as the total annual
import from all the West India islands does
not probably exceed two millions of bushels,
and the failure is principally of Turks Island I,
which Yields it is true more than all the 9th =
ers, but the failure is not total. The Virgin
ia and Ohio works must make up the def
cheney, and supply the increased river de
mand-IO. S. Jour

convened on the spot where the murder was
committed, to inquire into .he facts Of the
case. They pronounced the act cold blooded
murder on the part Of Coleman, and charged
four men named Hagus, Burkley, Moody and
! Wagner, as accessories. series OF resou-
tions were passed, and committee appoint

This. to say the least, is generous to them,
ESPECIALLY in view of all the outrages and
indignities they have heaped upon the free
men of that territory. An effort was made
BY Gov. Lane and some Others, to extend
this time to July d. 1860, but this was, we
think, very properly voted down. No per-

Gently, had with rattletnakc. On tir t
discovery, his anakeaLip was preparing to
appropriate to his use squirrel by the
side of the road, bit possibly fancying
large game, put after Mr.. T., VII, saw
leg bail and ran. On futlng that the
gap b,tHeen him and the snake WAS los
ing, Mr.. L. songht the first weapon in the
shape Of club, and turning. gave the
snake blow just as the reptile WAS paus-
ing and gathering for the lAral Spling.-
The blow came just in the nick OF time and
just in the right spot, sevoring tn. h.al
from the body. Mr.. I. says.
After the head was severed the body
continued to run in different directions, as
is generally the case previous to death
but in this case it continued for an unusu-
al length Of time, owing no doubt, to the
size Of the reptile and the amount of mus
cular strength which it possessed. After
it became sufficiently quiet, so hat it could
be Strengthened out, | measured it closely
and found it to be exactly six feet and
eleven inches in length, by nine, and hall
inches in circumference, being the largest
one of that species that had ever been see
