Low PRICE FOR WHEAT-We learn (says the Milwaukie American) that three cargoes of wheat, about 3O,OOO bushels were sold in Jo- liet, Ill.,, on Saturday, at the low price of forty cents per bushel. This is great sacrifice; but the reason of the low sale was, that the farmers of the vicinity cubbed together to ship their own wheat got it to Joliet, and were forced to sell at forty cents. Wheat in this city on Sa- turday was seventy to seventy three cents, with very light sales

B., because, -. t.ovn to all that he was the choice of a T ,a;ority of the democratic masses. It is Il ,:~n,,,gement to Gov. Johnsnn's distin- - sbed predecessor, and does not argue that Il Jemncracy do rot entertain high appre- @ ,,iou of his services to the country and his bvaltv to the constitution, that man. wno has battled so long for democratic prncipleS' lnd who has proven himself so true ahd uh- liuching a leaier in our ranks, snould receive }is high distinction from his party friends Cny Jones was not candidate for the posi- ;on and the i'll timed and ungenerous exulta- ;ons of Know Nothings over the result only how how deep is their hatred to him, and not bat any triumph has been had over him. He ,s reneatedlv declared that he never expected ,r,;p to become candidate for the Senate, and, N refraiuing from identifying himself with the lemocratc party, as a partlsan-whlle, as a Dalriot, he gave to it's candidates warm and ;lIng sunuort-he has sufficiently demon urared to any but the most malignant enemies b If his motives were elevated far above mere lelfsh aggrandi If, therefore, the office Ia ii ayain been rendered to him, it would not ,ave been of his seeking.
 Gov. Johnson is bold, able, sincere man. He was created tor d leader among men, whose lxertions and aims will ever tend to the true nterest of the masses. In the Senate, as else vhere, he will be man of mark, and what is Bore, useful, influential and patriotic repre- entafive of the rights, honor and interests oi Be State.-Memph's Appeal.

THE GREAT CHINESE WALL Some idea of the extent of China may be gathered from a remark of pr. Cowring, in a lecture on that country, recently delivered in England He sad that if all the bricks, stone and masonry oi Great Britain were gathered together, they would not furnish materials enough for such a wall as the wall of Chna and that if the m ,te rlais m the buildings in London were put to- gether, they would not make the tower, and turrets that adorn it.

 '~eer the conduct of two distinguished visitors now in England. The one is the Queen of the Netherlands, x who, on Sunday, went to Man. chester and attempted to gain admission on that day to the great exhibition of the works of art now held there. She, however, failed, notwithstanding her royal claims. The other is an officer of the United States navy, now in command of the steamship Susquehannah- Entering an E gsh port on the Lords day, he refrained from firing the usual salute until Mon day morning; thus showing deserved respect to the institutions, both of the country to which he belonged and of that which he was visiting

IRE Hoo CgoP IN KENTUCKY AND OHro.- We know of nothing just now, more interest ing to the mass of our readers, than the follow. ing article from the Cincinnati Price Current of tic 18th ultmo. The editor of that journal thinks that all things considered, the west Will have long hog crop' and large in- crease in the number brought to market-a consummation devoutly to be wished:
 Consequent upon the financial crisis arising out of the failure of the Trust Company the feeling Tn the market for hogs, as regards con- tracts for the future delivery, has been quite subdued the last two or three weeks; and though there were plenty of buyers at S7 for Novem- Der delivery. up to within the last ten days of August and but few sellers, there are now more sellers than buyers at this rate.
 Dealers and all interested in the provision market will always find it safe to assume there are, every year, hogs enough in the country; there may be less at one time than at another. put there Is always enough to fatten so as to make long hog crop, in case the inducements and the means exist to do this
 In our paper we publish the assessors re- turns of the number of hogs in Kentucky com plete. We also publish the returns from thirty one counties ln Ohio. The former show an in crease of twenty nine per cent, as compared with last year, and the latter of eighteen per cent. The returns in Kentucky are of hogs over SIX months old on the 10yh of January each year, and iu Ohio of hogs over six months old on the 1st of April each veir
 In Kentucky we fni over one million h ,gs over six months old on the 10 h of January, 1857, and in Ohio, if the increase in the coun- ties not yet heard from is the same as it is in those reported, there were PISA 326 hogs over SIX months old on the first of last Aprl h. dlana and Illinois had no doubt three millions Of this age on the first of April, 50 that it will be seen the supply of the animals is ample-- But then t is said, and it is true, that hogs are being swept away by the hog cholera" at a trighttul rate. This however, is confined to a few localities, chiefly in the vicinity of distil- lerles, and we feel safe in saying that the whole number carried off in this way for the year ending December 31, 1857, will not exceed one hundred thousand; or, even if it should reach one hundred and fifty thousand, it could not diminish seriously the number brought to mar ket This will be obvious to any person upon the reflection that in Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, there were over six millions hogs six months old and upwards on the 1st of last April. We think we may assume now, without fear of contradiction, that the supply of hogs is ample"
