FAST TINE OF HoEsEs.-PoRTEE's Nec Tork
Spirit contains some oft.repeatcd statements
about the fast time of horses, which may be in
tcrcsting to many of four readers. The best time
ever made in England, is mile in AS The
race was run by War Eagle and Cossock in 1871.
Neither Eclipse, Flying Childers, or any other
horse ever ran mile in minute. The average,

Hoe TRADE.-We have been kindly allowed
to make the following extracts from two letters
received by one of our largest houses in the
commission business here from reliable and re-
sponsibIe parties in Tennessee, gentlemen who
have every facility TO ascertain, as near us pos
sibe, the quantity and the probable price.
GALLArlS, Tenn. Nov. S, 1857.
Gents: have looked into the hog market
and my opinion is, a man would not bc safe in
buying hogs at more than three cents gross.
Our farmers views are considerably above that
price There has been offered here from four
and half to five cents gross, for hogs weighing
from two hundred and twenty-five to two hun
drcd and fifty pounds, and some sales made at
the above figure. My opinion is q man had
better hold of and see how things 60. think
there will be more bacon put up by the produ-
GERS this season than ever before.
SmELBYvILLE, Tenn, Nov. S, 1857.
"Geatlsmen: As yon requested, promise to
keep you posted up in regard to the movement
of our pork market. This is to inform you
that there was sale of fifteen hundred hogs
this week at five cents nett or four cents gross,
on sixty days time. The hogs are to drive to
Aberdeen, Miss. The Offering price in NASH
vile, is four and half cents. AS yet, the far
mcrS are not disposed to take that price, though
I think they will do so soon. From Morganton,
East Tennessee, there will be considerably more
bacon put up in this section this season, than
was last year.

bill strengthened the social fabric of the south by taking a vantage ground from its enemies away. The old law excluding the southern people from the territories gave an edge to the kind of weapons-contributed moral influence that chimed in with the sort of warfare, which the abolitionists of late years haze been using against the south. It indirectly represented the government as ack knowled ging the righteousness of the abolition cause-which kind of acknowl- edgment has become more odious and oppres- sive to the south no,0-than it was in l7o7, only on account of the use that is made of 1t, and the principles to which it was made to give countenance.
 The truth is, constitutions in those northern States permitting slavery in them does the south but little service. There is not half so much virtue in those parchments as people imagine. The amount of slavery that can be introduced into countries whose climate is favorable to the application of white labor is not worth much southern effort or sacrifice. The south must lay it's future operations. Kansas at best would be but bright muatto State, Missouri, Ken lucky and Maryan are getting to be-mere broken reeds to rely upon. Let southern men turn their attention to those regions where na- ture and their efforts pull together--as in our south west Indian country, in Texas, in Central and South America An acquisition in either of those quarters will always count on the right side.

would almost cease to be produced; the progress of civilization would be checked; the laborlng white man would be degraded; and mankind, including especially the very negroes about whom so much misplaced sympathy is ex- pended, would be deprived of many of the comforts and even necessities, Cor of things which have become such,) which they now en- joy.
 We design sometime to enlarge upon these topics, because We believe, when the people of the north fully comprehend this matter of negro slavery, however much they may be op- posed to the establishment of the institution within their own section of the Union, they will come to the conclusion, that it IS best to let it alone where 1t now exists; and to leave the people of other communities. to settle the question to suit themselves. And moreover, they will come to the conclusion, that the peace and welfare of their country demand that both the FANATICS and DEMAGoGUEs, who are the cause of the prelous excitement which now asitates the Union, shall be put down and ren- dered powerless, not by violence, but by the scorn and contempt of the people.

Syrup from Chinese Sugar Cane

We received through the hands of Capt. McCreery of White county, a sample of the syrup prepared from the Chinese Sugar Cane, by Mr. J. c. RAWLINGS, of Prairie county. We submitted the syrup to many of our citizens, and they all concuwed in the opinion that it equal if not superior to the Golden Syrup now in use.
 The following we clip from the Des Arc Citizen:
 "Mr. J. c. Rawlings, living seven miles west of Des Arc, sent us few days since a specimen of Syrup made from the Chinese Sugar Cane. It is of fine flavor, and is superior to maple molasses or Golden Syrup for table use. The mill used to crush the cane is made of wood, and cost but $25-and only one mule Is required to run it--crushing out from 30 to 40 gallons per hour. Every five gallons of the juice makes one gallon of thick syrup worth $l per gallon. We have quart of the syrup which was made in one and half hours boil ing Mir. R. has some twenty five acres of the cane which is now from 10 to 15 feet hgh and still growing. Mir. k. is quite confident he can realize 800 gallons per acre, which will be far more profitable than cotton-wth no more expense in gathering and preparing the pro- ducts of the cane for market. Mir. Rawlings is entitled to much credit for the patience and in- duStry he has used in introducing this new pro- duct in this section of country. He will have an abundance of seed to dispose of for next years crop, and we trust our planting friends will hereafter manufacture their syrup and su- gar at home, thus saving heavy expense for the "Sweet things of life " in the shape of sugar and molasses"

They are all Swindling Shops.

Another rotten banking concern has gone by the board. Of course the usual paaver at tends the suspension, with fair promises o speedy resumption and full payment. But such stuff is poor consolation to the bill ho- der, or the poor laborer who has deposited his hard earnings with the concern. The Cincin- natl Gazette says:
 About three o'clock yesterday afternoon, private dispatches were received in this city announcing the suspension of the New York Branch of the Ohio Life Insurance and Trust Company Bank. The news took everybody by surprise. It acted as a clap of thunder in a clear sky. The Trust Company had been re- garded as among the safest and most substantial banking institutions in the country.
 The consolation to be drawn from this the- ory is that the cause of this disaster is not such that it will be likely to affect directly, other banking institutions. If it were brought about by commercial disasters, by which mercantile credit is generally impaired, we might fear that the evil would be wide spread. But in the present state of affairs thls is not to be appre- hended. The western country, fortunately, never in better condition than at the present time. The land is overrunning with agricultural wealth. Merchants stand firm, with ample resources to meet their liabilities. Credits have been largely curtailed within the last few months. Banks have kept close to shore, and have but little to fear. Expansion, which is always dangerous, has been avoided, and the aggregate circulation of western banks is at this time greatly below the average These facts will tend to sustain confidence un- der the pressure which an occurrence like that we are noticing is calculated to produce. It will be proper, therefore, in considering this disaster, to trace 1t to the true cause, and not connect 1t with the general legitimate business operations of the country.
 The Board of Directors of the Trust Co.,, held meeting last evening, and issued a card, from which it will be seen the Bank will not be opened this morning. The directors ex- press the belief that the means of the comIa ny are ample to meet all it's engagements; and assure the public that early steps will be taken to resume business.'

General Harney. '

In personal appearance, Gen. Harney is i'm pressive. He is considerably over six feet tal and is large boned and muscular His hair was red, but is now thickly mixed with white. He wears 1t short and begins to be bald on the crown of his head. His moustaches and beard are nearly white, and are also thick and chip ped short. His eyes are blue and dull, for he uses spectacles. In younger years, he must have been model of physical vgor and strength, but he now looks older than he really Is, for his age, 1 believe, does not exceed fifty five. While in Saint Louis, 1 heard an anec- dote illustrative of his character, which have never seen in print. Being in New York many years ago, he passed store in one of the priu- cpa streets in which an auctioneer was solicit ing bids for an engraving of General Jackson. Both the seller and the crowd were no politi- cal friends of the subject of the picture, and were r1dlculng 1t in every possible manner How much am l offered for the hero of New OrleansH' cried the man on the stand. "Only hali cent? Why he's worth cent surely, alter robblng the bank. Make it cent, won't you, gentlemen? Now, then, how much am otered?' One hundred dollars said voice emphatcally, as Colonel Harney entered the door; 'o one hundred dollars sir" he repeated, making his way through the crowd, half a head taller than any other man in the room. The auctioneer, naturally astonshed, inquired if the gentleman was in earnest, and started again on his wittiscisms. "Sir, am in earnest, and claim my bd,' interrupted the colonel, and if no one bids more claim the picture' No one bidding more, he handed the auctoneer the money and his address "And now, sir" he remarked, seizing him by the collar and dragging him to the floor, :" 1 claim the priv- leSe ot applying the bastinado to your body for damnable lmpertinence." And having caned hun to his satisfaction, no one in the crowd venturing to interfere, he strode out of the store and continued his walk down the street. Analyze the quality of character necessary to man to be the actor in such scene, and think you will discover the traits which military men consider to fit General Harney eminently as the leader of the Utah expedition
