Hogs.

| correspondent Of the St. Louis Intelligencel
writes to the editor as follows, concerning the
price Of Pork CAS- the Pork contest is nov
pretty fairly opened, and as you have as vel
heard but one side of the question discussed,
feel disposed to favor you with a few statements
or arguments from the opposite side. You are
told by packers and spectators that owing to the
prospective stringency of the money market, and
great abundance of hogs, that the article Of
Pork must necessarily recede from the present
offering rates. How vain, how idle, such reas
oning as this If the present demand 70,
breadstuffs justifies the high figure now being
paid, and that, too, in the face of this anticipa
ted tightness of money matters, as well as the
most abundant crops known for. years, how
much more will the unprecedented demand for
pork, taking into consideration the limited nun.
Der of hogs, in most of the pork growing dis
tricts, warrant high prices? Yes, even higher
prices than have yet been offered for that article
would not at all be surprised, (the above spe.
cies Of reasoning to the contrary notwithstand
ing,) if Pork reached seven dollars before the
packing season is over. At all events, farmers
and feeders are determined to have six dollars
per hundred, nett, for their pork. Otherwise,
they will feed another year, letting the soldiers
in the Crimea eat beans without the Pork, and
the whole world in general, except Russia, enter
upon its first grand annual Lent
The Maysville Eagle notes the sale of 1000 hogs
900 at SO nett, on previous contract, and 140O
at IS SO, for Cincinnati.
The ST. Louis papers say nothing is doing in hogs
at that point, and quote at IS 5Onet.
SALES OF HoGs-PRosrEcrs- hog killing
season is expected to commence on or about the
goth inst, in this quarter, though as yet none
have been received by packers. Several large
droves are on the road, and Mcssrs Hull, Hunt
4 Co., of the mammoth pork house, expect sew
eral thousand head in few days. 1t had been
estimated that 100000 hogs would be slaughter
cd round the falls this season, but we now think
the number will exceed 325, 900 head, and pro-
badly $4,000.
There is now better feeling in the market than
has prevailed for some time, though in consc-
qucnce of the continued stringency in money
matters many buyers are still holding back. The
prevailing quotations for good hogs to be de-
vcred at the pen, are 6@G4c. nett, while dro-
vcrs in the country are asking 44c., on time.
We hear of sale of 1000 head at &c. nett and
learn that several lots have been offered at 61c.

The London Daily News, in couple of elabo-
rate articles, which we copy elsewhere, proposes
that the Northern States call another Hartford
Convention, and proclaim their determination to
dissolve the Union, rather than permit the South
to plunge them into another war with England!
II appeals to their hatred of slaveholding dom.
ination, argues that this war is sought simply
to build up slavery, and urges union of Her
England with Old England, LAS far better than
a union Of the free North and the slave South,
under Federal Constitution, of which the bene-
fits are enjoyed by the South, and the burdens
by the North. ask2I
The News must be sagacious journal. It's
knowledge of American character aud American
sentiment must be profound and accurate. If its
course on English politics is guided by as keen
and sagacious judgement Of public sentiment
at home, as Il eyinees Of public opinion in this
country, we are. surprised that il has not long
since eclipsed the Times in popularity and influ.
ence.
Perhaps the News viii be astonished to learn
nom s,-a Northern journal, and generally sup.
posed to be sufficiently jealous Of Southern en-
croachments On Northern rights, that New En-.
gland and the whole North would brave war with
England. and with the whole Europe, rather than
look to dissolution Of our Union as means Of a.
verting il. We quarrel about our home affairs:-
each section contends for ascendancy or EQUALITY
in the Federal Councils; I'VE dcnounce Slavery,
and rcsists its cncroachmcnts, But the less for,
eigncrs metldle with these domestic controversies
the better for them and for Us. And when they
propose TO joi~ one side against the other, and q
hespas settle these 4aarrelss they take the bes,
possible ccurse to drive us together and to forget
all our controversies in united resistance 10 com
