The New York Times gives the following
sketch OF Walker, who has so successfully
invaded Nicarauga:
Mr.. Walker is a native of Tennessee
His education is liberal TO an extreme
Few yonng men, we understand, enjoyed f.
ner advantages in that respect, than he did
on coming TO manhood That he has not
properly improved or legiimately directed
them in his subsequent career on the Pa
ciiic, is no fault OF his personal habits, his
lack OF tirinness, or want Of political infor-
nation. He is a lawyer by profession, and
had editorial experience at the press. His
devotion 10 the democratic principles oflree
government is extreme. On this point,
faulty, if you please, he has been stubborn
and preserving, rather than enthusiastic
We understand indeed that enthusiasm, in
the popular sense, is no part Of his DISPOSE
| ton. He is, or was, when he left the At
lantic States, and we have since heard moth
i ing to the contrary, Of a steady, sober habit,
remarkably quiet in personal intercourse,
OF high moral courage and indomiable will.
While nothing could have given his family
| friends and acquaintances at home more
| SUI Prise tlldll tllt lISI NEWS OF his turning
fllibuster in Lower California, there is moi
one Of them who has since doubted his
bravery, or questioned his perseverance in
execution OF a settled political purpose
Nor do they believe that his success, when
achieved, will be turned TO bloody account
as against humanity, or TO the willlul dis
lurbance Of the relations between friendly
powers with which his movements have nc
necessary connection.
Mr.. Walker is young man of only hir.
ty-one years. Ii he is yet wanting in the
elemente Of true wisdom as a politician, he
is equally devoid Of motive 10 DIES peraton or
| recklessnesS as the successful invader o.
Nicaragua. OF the character or the mate
rial, in men, that he carried with him from
San Francisco, and that which has since
joined him from Sacramento, we are par.
TALLY ignorant; though we incline 10 believe
that he has the power and influence of com
| plete control over them, and that, in any
event, he will sacrifice his own life sooner
than see bis followers, as body, bring obi
um on the cause, or defeat the purposes
which he has (unwlsely it may beg asserted

THE NEXT SpEAKER.-A Washing

THE NEXT SPEAKER.-A Washington
correspondent of the Lychburgh Virginian
says
THE Americans and the Wings will or,
ganize the House in their own way and by
their united strength. Hon. S. G. Haven
of Buffalo, N. Y, is decidedly the strongest
man now on the carpet for Speaker. He is
a Conservative National Whig-in every
way, sound and consistent politician, and
eminently fitted for the post. He will be
warmly supported by the Southern Wings
and Americans. He is also universally re-
garded as one of the abest members of the
next House of Congress-"

JEFFERSON CRY, Nov. %


Mn. GREEN: The Senate yesterday re-
considered the vote on the election bill, and
finally struck ont ST. Louis and the other
counties voting by ballot by the provisions
of the bill, and passed it without the amend
ments, leaving every part of the State TO vote
rira uoce. The bill with that amendment
will again GO the Horse for lis concurrence
and the end is not yet.
Rumors are afoat that propositions for
bargains and negotiations are now in the
city between the three parties for Senator tc
Congress; that in order 10 get one, two arc
proposed, furnishing each party to the pro.
posed contract one-Benton, Doniphan and
Atohison all in for the prize. The result
would be that Mr.. Geyer could enjoy the
retirement of private life at the end of his
present term.
These are the on.dts of the place, and
without bargain il is considered imprac.
ticabe to elect Senator. Who should take
the present vacancy, and who wait for The
expiration Of Mr.. Geyer's term, would o
course be amongst the details of the affair
and as incident TO the principal bargain.
The bill to revise and amend the law re.
lating 10 the State University, was taken ur
in the HolEe at an early hour to-day. Mucl
discussion followed, and the day vas entire.

The bill provides in substance that the off

shall all be vacated on the 4th of July next
that neither President nor any Professor
shall preach the Gospel or practice either oil
the learned professions during his contnu.

the Curators shall continue for the term OF
six years, be elected by the General As.
sembly, and all vacancies happening in the
office of the Curators shall be filled by The
! Governor.
Mr.. Minor, of Schuyler, moved to strk,
ont that part of the bill prohibiting The
President and Professors from preaching
The motion was lost by vote of 90 ave.
to 80 noes-to lay the motion on the table
Mr.. Murray moved a substitute for tn,
same section, proposing TO adopt the old law
which the Curators have so construed as tc
allow the President preach. That motor
was pending at the adjournment tins even
ing, but will be disposed of, most likely, il
the same way and by nearly the same VOTE
as the other.
Conservatism is becoming commodity o
great value in this market; while there is al
obvious decline in agitation and Kansas er

Conn AND PoRK.--A writer in the Ohio
Report for 1852 makes calculation as to
the cost of pork fed on corn.
An experiment by S. B Andrews gives
l,O5O Tbs of gross increase from 100 bush
els of corn. One hundred thrifty hogs
were weighed and put up into pen. They
were fed Tor 100 days as much corn as they
would eat. The average consumption was
100 bushels every six days. The average
gross increase per hog for the 100 days
was rs lbs. or at the rate of II lbs, per
day. According TO this, a bushel Of corn
will produce 49, lbs. Throwing off IS 10
corn at the net weight, gives 8 2-5 Tbs. of
pork as the product of one bushel Of CORN
IFS &c lbs. ofpork are made by l bushel
or So TBS. of corn, h. Of pork is the pro-
duct OF 9 % Tbs. Of corn.
From an experiment made by Saml Linn
with % hogs, as reported in the Patent Of
flee report Tor l849 81 lbs. of corn pro-
duced | ID. Of pork.
Assuming that it requires 6 % lbs. Of
corn to make 10. Of pork, the cost Of its
production will be seen from the following

Mr.. HARDEMAN stated, that information

November goth, 1866.
Ma. GREEN: The revised bill, regulating
elections IN this State, has excited little
interest in the General Assembly for day
or two past. The bill proposed that vo-
ting was to be done uiUd Uoce throughout the
State, except in the county of St. Louis and
few others where the ballot system was
allowed. In the House, esterday, motion
being made to reduce the system TO uni
form one Of voting uiua Uoce, considerable
discussion was evoked, the move being
charged TO Know Nothingism. The House
at length passed the BILL some of its fea-
lures being changed from the former law
one of which is, that all elections are to con.
tinue but one day, and the County Courts
are to establish as many precincts and pla-
ces of voting in each county as may be
deemed necessary to take and record all the
votes in day.
The bill was taken up in the Senate to-
day, and the amendments all stricken out
which allowed voting by ballot, except in
St. Louis county. Much discussion arose
and vote finally taken showed small ma
ority for the riua roce mode. A motion to
reconsider, made by Col. Stewart, stands
over for tomorrow.
1t is believed that the bill w i pass botl
branches Of the General Assembly in its
form as above indicated. and as it is law
which affects the exercise of the right o.
suffrage--a right the most sacred 10 free.
men-it is araently desired that it may be
so guarded that fraud nor corruption car
ever destroy its purity and freedom. C.

ST. PAUL, January /, 1855.
Prof. o. J. Woop-Dear Sir Unsolicited, | send
you this certificate. After being nearly bald for
long time, and having tried all the hair restora-
tives extant, and having no faith in any, was in
duced, on hearing of yours, TO give it trial.
placed myself in the hands of barber, and had
my head rubbed with good stiff brush, and the
restorative then applied and well rubbed in, till
the scalp was all aglow. This repeated every
morning, and in three weeks the young hair APP
peared, and grew rapidly from August last up to
the present time-and is now thick, black and
strong, soft and pleasant 10 the touch-whereas,
before it was harsh and wiry, what little there
was of it, and that little was disappearing very
rapidly. | still use your restorative about twice
week, and shall soon have good and perfect
crop of hair. Now, have read of these things,
and who has not?-but have never hitherto seen
any case in which any persons hair was really
benefited by any of the hair toncs, &C., of the
day; and it really gives me pleasure to record the
result of my experience. / have recommended
your preparation TO others, and it already has a
large and general sale throughout the Territory
The people here saw its effects, and have conf
dence in it. The supply yon sent us, as whole
