The Lexington (Mo.,) Express, Of the
18th says:
The Messrs. McGrew and j. S. Lightner
are the only persons in this market buying
hogs. The ruling figures, thus far, have been
So to So 30. We have the authority Of sew
eral farmers for saying that there is a scarcity
Of fat hogs in this county, as compared with
'ast year.
Tho Quincy (Ill.) Whig, of Wednesday,
last, says:
Up to the present time there has been en-
gagged at this point about 10000 hogs, at
prices ranging from 81 so to $5. The lat
ter figure is lot generally offered, except for
the earliest delivery About 1000 have been
slaughtered. The hog market cannot be said
to be. brisk. General intelligence of the hog
market is not much to induce an advance in
rates.
The Louisville Courier of yesterday.
says:
We hear of no transactions in hogs beyond
the sale of 1000 head on private terms. The
views of buyers and drovers continue to
conhict-the latter preferring to pack on their
own account.
= The Louisville Journal, of yesterday
says;
All the houses were killing yesterday
Phe market is very quiet, and the highest
price reported during the week is S5 75 net
There is doubt any longer that there will
be a large deficiency in the West, bit the sur
plus of old stock on hand and in view that
the last crop was in excess of the consump-
ton, warrant that it will be fully equal to the
quantity needed. We heard yesterday of
$4,000 lbs. shoulders out of salt al SIC and
100000 hams in two equal lots on private
terms.
The Cincinnati Gazette of yesterday says:
The market for hogs was again shade
easier to-day, prices ranging from $3.50 to
S57O-the inside figure for light. Prices
have no upward tendency, nor can it be said
they are tending downwards. Packers oper-
ate reluctantly, and DO sellers and the lat
ter are packing to a greater extent than usu-
al Owing to the dull market for Provisions,
pack find it difficult TO sell products to
any extent, and being, therefore, unable to
share responsibilities with others, they
operate with more than the usual caution 4
rise in the river would doubtless produce a
change in the general feeling; but at present
the trade is devoid of spirit, and confidence in
the future seems to be wanting. There is a
good demand for Lard at 10c and barrel
Pord would sell to a moderate extent at
S14:75.

AEnnSro MoRI.-"All Saints Day." In N.
Orleans, seems to have been honored with a
moro general and marked observance this
year than usual. One of the distinguishing
customs of the day, especially in Roman
Catholic communities, as most Of our read
ers are probably aware, is for the living to
visit and strew with flowers, and sometimes
to illuminate even, the burial places of the
deceased the design of the Church in insti-
tuting "An Souls Day" being thus 10 admon-
ish its children of the shortness of life, and
to enforce upon the mind of man that he is
'of the earth, earthly" "All Saints Day"
however, is not an exclusively Romish fes-
tival, 1t has an honored place in the calen-
dar of the Church of England, and we see
by the New Orleans papers, that the custom
of decorating the grave with garlands, was
on this occasion as much observed by the
English Catholics, as by the Roman Catho-
lies. Well, be it Romish Or Anglican, or
both, it is certainly an Observance of kind
well calculated to impress the worldling with
the solemn realities of death and eternity.
1t revives in the most matter-of-fact mind
long forgotten memories Of the loved and
lost-and hard, indeed, must be the heart
that comes away from such scenes and such
surroundings no softer, no better than before.

Official Vote Of Indiana.

We publish, to-day, the official vote of this
State for President and Vice President. 1t
will be seen that the aggregate vote is two
hundred and thirty-four thousand eight hun
dred and thirty-three. OF this vote Buchanan
receives one hundred and eighteen thousand
six hundred and seventy-two; Fremont, ninety
four thousand three hundred and seventy
seven and Fillmore, twenty-one thousand
seven hundred and eighty-four. Buchanan's
majority over Fremont is twenty-four thou
sand two hundred and ninety-fve; over
both Fremont and Fillmore, two thousand
FIVE hundred and eleven.
By comparison of the vote of November
with that of October, for Governor, it will be
seen that the former exceeds the latter
1852, and is 1892 greater than the vote for
Lieut.. Governor.
Buchanan's vote is six hundred and eight
greater than Governor Willard's, and fye
less than Lieut. Governor Hammond's.
The Fremont and Fillmore vote combined
exceeds Morton's vote 4.375. and is 1928
greater than the vote of Baker for Lieut..
Governor.
very little study of these figures viii er--
able any one to ascertain very satisfactorily
how the Fillmore men voted at the State
election It appears that Willard and Ham
mond got no more than the legitimate. out
snd-out Democratic vote It appears further,
that the excess of the Fremont and Fillmore
vote over the vote of Morton, is little less
than the increase of the aggregate vote of No
vsmber over that OF October. Hence, the only
logical conclusion is, that about three thous-
and Fillmore men, who voted for their candi-
date at the Presidential election, did not vote
at al for Governor, and that not one in twen-
ty of the Fillmore men voted for willard
Now is the time for those Black Republi-
can papers that have been so liberal of their
abuse of the Fillmore men, to commence the
work of reparstion. But the official table set
ties another fact. 1t proves beyond all pos
sible doubt or contingency, that the cry of
fraud, so clamorously and fercely raised
against the election of Willard, was just what
the Democrats pronounced it to be, ashame-
less and brazen-faced falsehood
We shall now see whether those who have,
day after day and week after week, labored
necessarily to dsfsme and blacken the char
sctsr of amajority ofths citizens Of our State,
viii have the manliness or the honesty to
retract their falsehoods. Fortunately for the
cause of truth and justice, the facts and fig
ures which we here present, leave them no
possible alternative. They can voluntarily
make the anends honorable, or stand convict
ed as wilful and malignant Ibellers and SLAM
derers.

losing itself among the pine trees. And still
we mounted, and rested, and wondered, and
still the way stretched on above, seeming to
have no end. At length, when we had trod-
den and counted seventeen hundred and fifty
stone steps, we came to the tower on the sum-
nit of the Kaiserstuhl. We assembled this
by one hundred and fifty steps more, and no
pen nor pencil could paint the wonderful
scene that spread out before Us. 1t seemed
as If We conld trace the Rhine from its noun
tain cradle to its ocean grave. We saw the
Hardt mountains. the Odenwald, the noun
tains of the Black Forest, and the chain of
the Taunus, and we counted in the vallies of
me Rhine and the Neckar more than forty
etiss and villages--the view from this tower
is said to be the finest in all Germany.
We returned by the carriage road, stopped
at the Molkenhus, or half way house, took
refreshing cup of tea, and got back to our
hotel in time to dress for the one O'Clock

Worms, October TIN.
We left Heidelberg this morning at seven
o'clock, arrived at Mannheim before eight,
spent FIVE hours sightseeing and came to
this place this afternoon. The first thing we
did, after depositing our baggage at the depot
in the little town of Ludwigshafen, on the
Bavarian side of the Rhine, was to inquire
for the house and grave of Kotzebue, which
we supposed were both in Mannheim. The
house we found without any difficulty, but
they told us that his body had been removed
to Russia, and we had not the melancholy
pleasure of looking at his grave. His house,
the same in which he was murdered by the
mad man, is plain, simple stone structure,
facing busy street. I did not see tree,
nor flower, nor grass plat about it, yet he must
have loved the beautiful, for ne had poets
soul. But my paper is fall; will tell you
more about our doings in Mannheim in my
next letter, till then may you be very happy
