Hon. Mr.. Lamar, of Texas, some time
since appointed minister to Buenos, Ayers,
has concluded to accept the mission to
Costa Riea and Nicaragua. He will not
go, probably, before spring. The power
and scope of this mission will be similar
to that of Sir VIM. Gore Ouseley, the pur-
pose being to secure thorough and effec.
tual settlement of all The Central Ameri-
can questions. r1s. Ira r-a
| The President expresses much annoy
anee at the announcement of the arrival
of the sloop-of-war Saratoga, which was
supposed to be guarding the San Juan
river against the flibusters. If it proves
that she has returned by order of Conn
modore Paulding, commanding the home
squadron, the Commodre will be called
upon for an explanation There is now
no United States vessel at San Juan, and
if Walkers expedition lands there, the
public will naturally believe that the
Saratoga was Withdrawn by, prearrange-
ment. ..-... -, O.. r.r -. u
The steamer Susquehanna, from the
Mediterranean squadron, is expected daily
at Key West, where orders will meet her
to proceed Immediately to San Juan.
THE HOG MARKET-The only sale
heard Of yesterday was $50 head taken by
a city clearing house at S5 25 net averag-
ing 215 TBS. We understood last evening
that parties were buying in the country at
81 gross. Telegraphic dispatches received
from Cincinnati yesterday quote hogs at
$5 00@$5 25-a decline in that market of
nearly so cents hundred. This accords
with the prediction made by us week ago
that Cincinnati packes were putting up
the prices for the purpose of directing the
hogs there, and that, as soon as they would
be brought in, the prices would be put
down. A few of the houses were killing
yesterday, though the weather last evening
was getting rather warm. IF the weather
is favorable all the houses excent one will
be killing to morrow Watkins & Owsley
expected to receive 1900 last night.
We learn from the Valley Times that
the hog cholera is spreading rapidly in the
counties of Morgan, Greene, and Owen,
Indiana. a+7'

The Russellville Herald of Wednesday
says:
Monday last being county court day, a
number Of farmers were in town desiring
to dispose of their hogs at 81 25@s4 80
gross; and several spectators were in town
also Offering S4 gross; but we heard of no
sales except a few small lots at 81, to be
delivered on foot and killed by the pur-
chaser. The farmers generally are not
disposed to take S4 gross, and packers are
not disposed to go above that figure; con
sequently but little has been sold We
however last week heard of few sales at
SO 80 and S4 gross.
