The Hoe CRoP.-We hear of sale of
200 hogs at 81, within day or two, and on
Saturday $50 were offered ut the same price,
but purchaser could not be obtained. This
is terrible tumble in price and must disap.
point the expectations Of a great many per-
sons. But there is no help for il. There is
little money here, or any where, to invest in
this way, and farmers may make up their
minds to take even less than the sum named,
or to keep their hogs over another year.
Luckily, the corn crop is so great that II will
not cost so much ms usual to keep their stock
through the winter, and they may choose to
keep them another year. If the farmers are,
as general thing, free from the pecuuiary
troubles which so Cypress our towns and cit
les, they will find yet that they, too, are
great sufferers, in the depreciation of every
article which is produced upon their farms,
and they should come forward to right things
as speedily ms possible ST. Louis Repu6i-

RAIL ROADS.

We find, in the New York "American Rail-
road Journal" Of the oath ult, the follow
ing remarks on the value of Railroad prop
ertY
"All our great seaboard lines, with the ex-
ception of the Erie, make a handsome gain
over the receipts of the past year. The loss
on the Erie can be accounted for without
lmpugning its merits. We anticipate good
business for the coming year for most of our
roads. The crops throughout the country
have been abundant. All these must be
moved, and reciprocal current in merchan-
disc must follow. The country is rich and
mus. soon recover from the recent collapse
o! credits. Whleit continues, the railroad
interest will suffer less than any other. IL
has been fashionable to cry down our rail-
seads, but they may turn out to be the most
valuable investment that we have left. One
thing is certain-they must continue to earn
a great deal Of money, and may, with good
management, be made productive. In re
gard to their management, we can say, with
confidence, that this never before promised
so favorably. The pressure of necessity has
compelled our people to turn their attention
to the management of their roads, and this
is gradually being brought up to standard
OF excellence never yet reached.
We find also an article in the Cincinnati
"Railroad Record" headed, "The War upon
Railroads and the Future" which touches
upon the same points, and others connected
with Railroads, which, as long as it is, will
be of interest, we trust, TO our readers in
these piping times of piping region:
The War Upon Railroads and he Future.
"A portion OF the press and large part of
the people have been engaged in q random,
but fierce attack upon railroads. They have
not attacked them as machines useful to
society, nor as power superior to all other
powers in locomotion, nor as great gain to
the interests Of commerce; but they have
attacked their financial ability; they have
warred upon bondholders and stockholders;
they have endeavored to take ava, their
good name, and to deprive thousands of good
and honest men, who aided railroads for the
purpose of aiding the country, of the prop
erty they have invested in the roads. We
hesitate not to say that il the same effort
had been made to sustain the credit of Rail-
roads which has been made to deprecate
and destroy their credit, no Incorporated
stock liz the country would have stood bet
ter than the better class of Railroads.

REPORTED FiLLBusTRRiHG SUCCESSES so
FAR.-General Walker has been visiting the
editors OF the New Orleans papers, giving an
account of his successes in enlisting men and
means for new fi!libustering campaign. He
claims TO have enrolled 5000 men for his new
army, and collected funds to the amount of
100000. The headquarters of the new ex-
pedition appears in Texas, whence many of
the recruits come. Unsubstantiated by tan
gible proofs, the story of the men and the
money lacks certainty.

PANIC IN THE FIFTH AvENUE.-Tears will
fall like rain in the fashionable quarters OF
the city, says the New York Day Book, If
such absolute heartlessness is permitted to
60 on, as the positive taking Of the beauti-
full residences, and all the gorgeous interior
fxings, and disposing Of them by vulgar
auctioneer. It's horrid to think of. The
debts due dirty tradesmen, plebeian builders,
furniture pedlars, smelling grocery-men, and
all such people sought 10 stand till Pa gets
ready to pay-if, as the papers say, these
working classes are likely to get out of bread,
why let them eat cake. What will Adolphus
Fitzziggles think when he finds we are sold
out, and our thousand dollar piano, and our
MOSAIC topped tables, and Pas splendid IL
brary, as good as new, in fact not book
disturbed since the purchase was made, are
under the hammer? To be sure these things
have not been paid for but can't the men who
were so fortunate as to sell them to Pa, wait
a year longer for their pay! 1t does seem
as if tradesmen had not the least bit of
gratitude for all one does to help them
along"

The CONSTITUTIONS OF OREGoN.--The Con-
stitution likely, according to the last accounts,
TO be adopted by the Oregon Convention,
contains some remarkable provisions. II
does away with grand juries as unnecessary,
the preliminary examination before magis-
trate being deemed sufficient. II provides
TINT there shall be 20 Lieutenant Governor:
that The Secretary Of State shall exercise the
functions of Governor pro tenn, 10 case of
the death of that funetionary; and that the
Governor shall also be Treasurer of the
State. The number Of members Of the State
Senate is limited to fifteen, and that of
the Assembly to thirty, with biennial ses-
sions. The ballot is abolished at elections,
and pira roce voting substituted. Judges are
declared ineligible for any Office not judicial,
during the period for which they are elected;
and for one year after; municipalities are
absolutely prohibited from contracting debts,
and bank charters Of every description are
forbidden. With regard to the question of
slavery, it is believed that two clauses-one
legalzing and the other prohibiting slavery
will be appended to the draft of the Consti-
tuition, to be adopted or rejected by sub
sequent vote of the people.

SYNOD OF VIRGNlA-NEw SCHOOL PRES
BYTERIANs.-After the usual devotional ex-
erciscs on Friday morning last, the Rev. Mr..
Danforth, from the Committee on the Minis.
tiers of the General Assembly, made report
recommending withdrawal of the Synod
from the General Assembly. The report was
discussed at length during the morning and
evening sessions, and gave rise to various
propositions. The result was the adoption,
at late hour, by nearly unanimous vote,
of resolution to withdraw from tho present
General Assembly and form a United Gene
raj Assembly.

AN UNPRoFITABLE RUN.-We learn from
tho Mobile Advertiser, that a small run
was attempted on the Southern Bank of
Mobile on the l6the ult, but il did not IL
mount to much. A large number of bill
holders crowded the bank soon after its
opening, but as the Teller's desk was forti-
fed by Malakoff of gold and Redan Of
silver, and as the demands Of the claimants
made no perceptible impression upon the
fOrtresses, the struggle soon ended, and
quiet was restored. There is no likelihood
now. says the Advertiser, of either the
Mobile or the Southern Bank suspending.

REAL ESTATE IN New YoRK.-Iti is one OF
the phenomena of the times, (says the New
York "Mirror'D that real estate does not
seem to be affected by the failures of the
merchants, brokers, bankers, etc. The rea-
son is that these men do not own real estate.
In 1887, every merchant who failed had real
estate assets. Now they have only "paper."
In some cases their wives own the houses
they live in but rs general rule the Island
OF Manhattan is owned by men, women and
children who are not known in the CONNER
cial world. Hence these failures threw no
real estate upon the Market .r

W Asa Whitney, Esq, long identified
with the project OF building a railroad to
the Pacific, in a recent letter to the New
York Journal of Commerce, on the financial
troubles of the times, says:
at is horrible, it is sickening, to contem-
plate the widespread misery and ruin newt
ably to follow this revusion. Il must extend
over the whole land; bankrupt people, and
very soon a Government with an empty treas
ury. The tears and signs of the widow and
orphan, with the despair OF the laboring
man, will for the next eight years cause the
slavery question to slumber, and form the
elements for a new political era, based on
the attempt to establish United States
bank, with bankrupt act and high tariff, to
be followed with grand system of internal
improvements"
