WHEAT is selling here at from IS to Z,

WHEAT is selling here at from IS to 20
cents. Our farmers are yielding more freely |
to the necessity of the times, and accepting |
present prices, with more willingness than
heretofore. The encouraging prospect Of a
large foreign demand have declined with
the latest arrivals. At present foreign ship
ments cannot be made, with any hope of
profit, except ut lower prices than now pre-
vail here, as we have shown by compartion
between our prices and those In distant mar
kets, adding the costs and charges Of ship
ment and selling. 1t is best for the farmers
to submit to an inevitable necessity, and sell
their produce, pay off their debts-relieve
the merchants-and help restore business to
healthy activity. By holding on to their
| crops, and prolonging the embarrassment
they impair the ability Of consumers and
merchants to purchase for the future, and at
the same time are retaining stocks that will
go over the year, and depress the prices of
next seasons crop, which will be-if it be an
abundant one-depreciated to still lower
point IL prices, by this accumulation. The
farmers by holding on, then, are increasing
the troubles of the country and ruining their
own customers-and accumulating stocks to
reduce the price of their next years products.
Hitherto the farmers have believed that the
decline was the effect Of temporary panic,
or that prices had been reduced by a combi-
nation among purchasers. These impress
sions are giving way to a conviction that the
difficulties real, and the effects Of them are
J likely to be lasting. They will now be
more ready to meet the views of buyers
Let them come to the conclusion, which all
, business men have been obliged to adopt,
that they are not to expect much profit from
! this years labor; if all get through and
) ''hold our own, we are doing WELL" The
farmers-from past success arc in a condition
J to yield the hopes of profits without repin-
ing. If they are obstinate in their demands
and hold longer, we are confident they will
do worse. The rivers are now in good
boating stage. Our Banks-as will be seen
by the excellent letter we publish from an
officer of the State Bank now at Indianapo.
) lis-are ready to loan their means as far as
prudence will permit-to aid IN the ship
ments of produce. The farmers ought then
! to unite in general effort-by some personal
: sacrifces-to wipe out the Indebtedness Of
this section of the country. By recent show
ings, it appears that the Pocket, has at the
! present low prices, s5,0oo,OoO surplus pro-
duce on hand. The estimated indebtedness
, of the same district, to distant creditors does
not exceed half that sum. If We were to
send off our produce and pay the debt, and
bring home the balance, it would place the
district in a most enviable condition of ease
and independence; il would givea new Sum-
illus to business add to the prices of property
and-place our merchants ina good position
to purchase the next crop. The sacrifice the
farmer may make on his present crop-if any
be made-would be returned to him in his
next.

uoRR,H,,EMAssACRE OF EMlGRANTs.

An entire train of emigrants consisting oil
over one hundred and thirty men, women
and children, from Missouri and Arkansas,
bound to California by way OF Great Salt
Lake, were massacred by Indians south oil
the most southern Mormon settlements, in
September. Their encampment was attack
ed by the combined forces OF all the tribes IN
that section of the country, and the ma
iority slain in the first onset. The remainder,
having corralled their Wagons and dug a
ditch for protection, fired upon the Indians
for about two days, but without effect. The
emigrants then sent out flag OF truce,
borne by little girl, and gave themselves
up to the mercy of the savages, who i'm
mediately rushed in and slaughtered all ex
cept fifteen infant children who have since
been purchased by the Mormons. The cause
of the massacre was SAID to be the poisoning
of a number of Indians by tho emigrants
who put strychnine in a dead OK, and also in
the water pools from which the Indians
drank.

~ The great Chess Congress, assembled
at New York, has been brought to a close, by
Paul Morphy's winning the decisive game,
the fifth, from Mr.. Paulsen. Mr.. Morphy
possesses an extraordinary talent for chess
playing, and is probably the best player in
the world. 1t is the intention OF the Amer
car. Club to challenge Europe to produce u
man to play with him next Spring in New
York for one TO five thousand dollars. Mr..
Morpny is a native of Louisiana, and is only
twenty years old, He is slightly built, with
pale face, dark lair, full brow, and keen rest
l,ss eyes. Mr.. Paulsen's reputation will lose
nothing by the defeat, for he is acknowl-
edged to besecond only to Mr.. Morphy, and
probably equal to any other celebrated
chess player in the world.

THE FOREIGN NEWS

Under our telegraphic head is intensity
interesting. The triumph Of the British
arms and valor at Delphi, determines
the end of the revolt in India.
The commercial and financial news
from England is decidedly favorable.
Though it brings accounts of many
heavy failures and serious decline in
breadstuffs-it is less disastrous than
we had reason to fear it would be. The
crisis may be considered as past. Prices
of our produce must rule low, but the
bottom has been reached.

THE SUPREME COURT.

By the disorganization and misrule
that has crept into the government Of
this State, by the conflicts Of party lead
ers, we are probably without a Supreme
Court. Judges GooKINs and STUART
proftered to the Governor prospective
resignation, which he refused to recog-
nize as vacation of their offices, and on
this pretense refused to order an election
of Judges at the last annual election
and having denied that the offices were
vacated by the designations rendered by
the old Judges, he has precluded him
self from exercising the power to appoint
successors. The resigning Judges con-
slider themselves out Of Court, except
to finish up the business that was
placed in their charge, and hold them
selves to be no longer active members oil
the Court, and under no obligations to
burthen themselves with its duties" 1t
is usual for the members Of the Court to
hold preliminary meeting at lndianap-
oils on the first day Of November to
confer upon the decisions and opinions to
be rendered at the opening Of the regu-
lar session on the fourth Monday OF the
month. Judges PERKINS and DAWSON
have been at Indianapolis since the first
inst. waiting the arrival OF their COL
leagues to form quorum to proceed to
business but they do not come. There
are eight or nine hundred cases on the
docket, and many important cases tried
at the last term, in which judgments are
vet to be rendered and opinions gwen
In the present position Of affairs, by the
perverseness and obstinacy Of the Gov
ernor, who seems determined to make all
the departments of the government yield
to his dictatorial will, the. Court is COM
pletely disorganized. The conmunica-
tons of the retiring Judges to him were
virtual resignation, and in form sus-
tanned by eminent presidents. If ne
had been anxious for the welfare of the
State, he would have waived the doubt
ordered an election and left the question
of the legality Of the vacancy to the
court itself, and not invaded the province
of the judiciary by assuming to decide
Il in advance himself. Because they
were in error and refused to change
their opinions Of the legality OF Their
own acts, at his dictation, it is no JUST
fcation for him upon mere technical
point-of which they were more compe-
tent than he-to involve the people O.
the State in all the evils of disorgan
lied judiciary and an arrest OF the pro
ceedings in the Court Of the highest Ju
risdiction and last resort.
