Hog Packing IN Cincinnati.


The Cincinnati unzette, OF Tuesday, mo-
,iccs the commencement, Of pork packing OPP
erations at that point:
The weather having turned cool, and be-
Ing favorable for the pork business, two Of
the Strengthening establishments commenced
operations this morning. The Cincinnati
House kiiiea sixteen hundred head, and had
,s93 in the pens this evening. At another
house about 200 were slaughtered. Should
the weather continue favorable the business
will progress without interruption, the arri.
vais being fair for the season and a large
number having been contracted for delivery
this month, they will be pushed forward
withon: delay. The market presented a
heavy appearance to-day. A lot OF 800 head
on the spot offered at SO per loo lbs net,
without finding ii purchaser. There were
buyers vi IS, and 5 Is " build have been paid,
perhaps, had the holder manifested dispo-
siiion TO accept that figure. Packers are
generally quite Indifferent about operating.
There il NOT, we think, a single eager pur-
chaser in market. The future is regarded
with great deal Of doubt, and there Is ore
timldity manifested, even on the par. oi
those who are noted for their shack bone, y
than we have noticed for many years. The
course Of trade will, as remarked previously,
depend very much on tho condition Of ths
money market; but In any event there prom.
ises to be a pressure that will operate against
the establishment OF prices that were caicu.
lated upon during the summer.

Yesterday p. m. we were again cited . sp-
near forthwith before Judge Olagcts and
show canac why we should not ~ pun16hsd
for second contempt Of Court, the hrst oase
not having yet been disposed Of. 1t 10 esr-
tainly refinement upon legal teshnioslisy
for Judge Clagett to charge u With sttsmps-
ing TO influence his decision, in our swn case,
BY re- reproducing in print the arguments which
we're made bso6fe him and his rcjoindcr -
And he sugars that in that publication our
object was to inaucaos his high mightinsss.
And il is certainly legal fiction to say that
there was any canse pending. There never
was cause. Judge Clagstt constituted him
self Judge and jury and would have added
the character Of executioner had he dared.
His attempted censorship Of the press, ~ it
appeared in our forcible arrest and trial,
never had color Of Law, and was not q
cause pending in any fair sense Of the word.
1t was an outrage--it was mocksry--it was
any thing rather than cause pending in any
legal and proper sense. We had the same
right to publish an account Of it as we
should have in publishing an account Of our
forcible abduction when he might escape
from our lawless captors. It's Judge Ola.
get,'s second effort to deprive us Of our rights
and prevent his arbitrary and tyrannical acts
from becoming known through the medium
of the press. [IIawkeye, Nov. Is. i

mune determined to make him the gift Of
cask OF white wine !; and, in order to make II
general affair, it was decided that cnch
householder should bring one bottle Of wine
and pour It in turn into common recepts-
Gle. The rabbin was OF course very grateful
for this spontaneous testimonial Of the nGcc-
tion Of his people, aud with great care re-
moved the precious beverage to his CELLAR

that miracle had been wrought, rather re-

THE SoUTH.--We have received tha first
two numbers Of this new daily, published at
Richmond, Virginia, and edited BY Roger A..
Pryor, late of the Richmond Enquirer. From
the Introductory of its able and accomplished
editor, we take the following extract, defining
the position which he MS Democratic editor
will occupy towards the Democratic party:
at is not possible, in any just application
of the principles o: the Democratic party, that
they may become Incompatible with the in
teresls OF the South. The surest safeguard
of our rights, on the contrary, will be found
in the honest administration of those princi
'p"s-not as they are interpreted in the Del
phic phraseology, of ambiguous platforms
but as they are propoundcd in the writings
and measures of the Republican fathers.
1t may happen, however, that selfish indi-
viduals will invoke the name of Democracy in
support of profitable abuse, and in apology
for gross perversions of principle; for the cor.
rupt creatures that subsist upon party, intent
only upon their own aggrandizement, are
contemptuously Indifferent to the purity of its
organization of character, this paper will be
instrumental under no pressure of party disci-
pine, but will preserve the integrity Of its
faith in defiance of the penalties of insubor.
