GALLArIN, Tenn, Nov. 8, 81.
Gents:-I have looked into the hog mar
ket, and my opinion is, = man would not
be safe in buying hogs at more than cents
gross. Our farmers views are considerable
sbove that price. There has been offered
here A. cents gress, for hogs weighing
from 225 to $50 lbs, and some sales made at
the above figure. My opinion is man had
better hold off and see how things 90. l
think there will be more bacon put up by
the producers this season than was ever be-
fore.
SHELsYvILLE, Tenn, Nov. s, 81.
Gentlemen: As you requested, promise
to keep you posted up in regard to the move
ment Of our pork market. This is to inform
YOU that there was sale of 1900 hogs this
week at cents nett or cents gross, on six.
ty days time. The hogs are to drive to Aber-
deem, Miss. The offering price in Nashville
is AZ cents. As yet, the farmers are not dis
posed to take this price, though think they
will do SO soon.
THE LATE ELEcrIoNs.-In Massachusetts,
the Black Republicans have, as usual, swept
everything before them. P. Banks, late
Speaker Of the House of Representatives, is
elected Governor by large majority over
Gardiner, American, and Beach, Democrat
In New York, the Democracy have triumph
ed, by from ten to twenty thousand majority.
The Black Republican legislation of last
winter broke down the party-and this fact,
together with the Aboli,iohising of Kansas
by Gov. Walker, left no peg for the Black
Republicans to hang upon. The Northern
Democracy having become thoroughly Free
soil, Black Republicanism is gradually break
ing down.
In Maryland, the Americans have swept
the State. They have the Governor, the Leg
islAture, and most of the members Of Con.
gross.
In Louisiana, there 10 reason to believe the
Americans have made gain Of one member
of Congress, and perhaps two. Eustis, the
eloquent and gallant young representative Of
New Orleans, Is returned by an increased
majority.

mocratic) concludes long article on the
