Hog Cholera.

The following facts and suggestions in
regard to this prevalent disease, from the
Edinburg johnson Co., Ia.,) Local NswS
are worth attention. They point the atten-
tion Of farmers and stock rnisers TO another
cause than that ordinarily assumed to exist
in such cases. Instead of "cholera," it ap-
pears from the statements of the Local
Neacs to the "hog consun,pton:"
A new supply Of some fifteen hundred
hogs were put into the enclosure ready TO
supply the pens, at the still-house in this
place, last week, and were soon attacked
with what was supposed to be the disease
called "hog cholera" since which time they
have been dying at the rate of fifty or sixty
per day. The first symptom noticeable, is q
slight cough, which is soon followed by a
dropping, stiff appearance; the nose and
lips, and sometimes the nose and ears turn
blue, and swell up, and finally purging, and
sometimes vomiting follows and death en-
sues speedily. Hogs, in every stage of the
disease have been killed and examined for
the purpose of ascertaning the nature of the
disease; and the result establishes the fact,
beyond scruple, that the disease here is in
famation of the lungs, those in the first
stages showing a congested condition in a
portion of the lungs, while those further ad-
vanced had more extensive engagement,
and in the last stages Of the disease the
lungs were dark, dry and solid, with some
liberation of the lungs and throat. The
stomach and irtestines show no signs of dis
ease.
If this be the disease bearing the name Of
"hog cholera" it is msnomer, and should
be no longer allowed to mislead, in admins
tering remedies. The most of the RENE
dies administered have no doubt been iniu-
rious, and fastened the disease to a fatal
end.
Is not the exciting cause of the disease, in
this instance, at least, the too sudden change
in the condition and food Of the hogs?-
These hogs were taken from the woods or
the fields, and driven several days, and put
great numbers together, in small incosure
and fed with corn and slops. Would moi
the exposure and fatigue, followed immedi,
ately by more stimulating feed than the
hogs had been accustomed to, be likely tc
produce the disease we have in this case?
The hogs in the pens have had ma symp.
tons of the disease.

The New Mexican Constitution and
SlaUerv

A new constitution has been formed in
Mexico and has been published in the pa
pers. 1t has yet to be ratified before it takes
effect
The second article Of the constitution
provides that all persons born in the repub-
lie are free, and that slaves from other
countries touching the soil become free and
are entitled TO the protection OF the laws
Another article prohibits the making of
treaties for the extradition Of political Grim
nals, or Of those delinquents of the common
order who have held, in the country when
the crime was committed, the condition Of
slaves.
When the treaty of Hidalgo Guadalupe
was formed much opposition to it arose in
some parts Of the United State, because it
contained no provisions by which slaves es-
Gaping from this country into Mexico could
be reclaimed. As Texas is settled up and
slavery increases on its Western border, it
is obvious that many escapes from service
must take place. But the new constitution
not only makes all such Gugitives free, but
it goes further and prevents the delivering
up of slaves who have violated our laws and
fled to Mexico for protection. The conse-
quence will be, that all kinds Of crimes a.
mong the slaves on our South western from
tier will largely increase, the perpetrators
being certain of escaping the penalties.-
This section of the Constitution is a most
extraordinary one, and will prove detri-
mental both 10 the United States and Mexi-
co--to the former in encouraging crime
within our borders, and to the latter by in
viting worthless and dangerous class of
felons to take shelter upon her soil.
This is the least that can be said, but in
fact the provision, if adopted will inevitably
lead TO collisions with the frontier States,
ending with the conquest of Mexico. Mex
leo is weak, disorgonized government
If she wishes to develop in peace, to IN in
tain her independence and her internal
tranquility, her policy is TO treat her pow
erlul and warlike Northern neighbor with
the greatest consideration. An anti-slavery
programme, converting her soil into sec
ond and more dangerous Canada, would be
the seal of her ruin.- Leader.

AN ERRoR PLANTIHG.-It is a
mistake that some agricultural journals are
making to recommend early planting indis-
criminately, and without noting the except
ions.
The farmer OF course will think for him.
self-wlll use his agricultural paper 10 sug
gest thoughts and plans for his own accept
ance or rejection, and not as an oricle in
which he is 10 be led captive at another
will.
Hence, wrong advice in all cases is not
very harmful. We verify believe that the
worst agricultural paper that could be con-
cocted would do some good-would be
worth more, in the absence Of better jour-
nrls, than its cost--because it would lead
TO hought--would sharpen the farmer 5
powers of observation and reflection.
Still wrong advice may prove injurious
to some. The young, inexperienced far
mer might be misled. Take, as an instance,
the indiscriminate recommendation TO plant
early. 1t is good advice so far as it sound.
The oats will be heavier if the seed is sown
about as soon as Jack Frost lets go his hold
of the ground; potatoes taken succession of
years, oftener do better with than with late
planting; winter wheat is on the whole
more likely TO escape its enemies and ma
mre heavily with early than with late sow
ing. II is so with crops generally; and
then the enterprising farmer loves to see
his work done in goad time-would rather
drive his work than be driven by it.
But how is it with Indian corn? Does
the earliest planting always give the best
crop? No. Planting at the right time
gives the best result. And when is the
right time? 1t is important to know, for
when that time comes, not moment is TO
be lost, Corn is tropical plant; it loves a
great deal Of heat and but moderate de-
gree of moisture; it will flourish only in
tropical countries, or that which have the
summer of tropical climates. Under favor
able circumstances, it grows rapidly
Three months will carry it from germina-
tion beyond the danger of injury by frost,
provided the weather be warm and not over
wet. Without these favoring circumstan-
ees, it "gets contrary" so TO speak, and
won't grow. These are essential TO its
tropical nature. There is hardly more
important problem for the corn grower than
10 hit upon the time for planting, when the
seed will come in three or four days, and
then grow ''right on" without stopping.
Wheat, rye, oats, almost anything else,
will wait for growing weather, without in
jury to the final result. Not so with corn.
The farmer must give it the three hottest
months in our climate, SO nearly as lis
Judgment will enable him.
The true advice with regard 10 the crop
is, not 10 plant early; but as soon as the
hope of it continuing so, not TO loose mo-
ment,-I Plow Loom, and Anvil.

Secretary Stanton's Speech.

Mr.. Secretary Stanton, upon his arrival
at Leavenworth City, found crowd collect
ed, listening TO speech from DR.. String
fellow, whois a candidate for Congress-
He made speech, and, says the Herald,
"The subject of his remarks consisted of
synopsis of the course which he had marked
out to pursue in his official career, accompa-
MED by some wise suggestions in regard
to the settlement of the existing difficulties
in our territory.
"Coming from the South he frankly stated
that he was a southern man; but that he
would be guided in his official career by q
principle of strict impartiality; laboring for
the benefit of the citizens Of Kansas and en-
deavor to carry out the Just and equitable
policy laid down by the administration.
He stated that the peaceable admission of
Kansas into the union, depended more upon
her course as state, than the institutions
which she might choose to adopt. That the
conservative states of the North or South had
no objections to her admission, either with
q constitution allowing or forbidding Slavery
provided they were satisfied that she would
neither be an abolition nor nullifying State.
He also stated that the adjustment of the
difficulties now pending between the two
parties, depended in great measure upon
referring the constitution to the people after
it has been framed by the convention.
"His remarks were heard with attention.
and much enthusiasm was manifested by the
audience, when he declared the course which
he would pursue, and made the suggestion
given above. He retired amid the applause
of all; having favorably impressed their
mind, with his integrity, and ability to per.
form the duties of his Office" a

THE PRoDucTIoN OF SILK--.4n Important
Discovery,-A highly important discovery
it said TO have been made, namely, that the
material for silk will, ere long, be derived
not from the worm, but from the leaf on
which it has hitherto existed. 1t is said that
distinguished saUan, Signor Lotteri, has
ascertained by realized from the bark of the
mulberry tree, and that bya maceration,
good silk, as well as excellent paper, may
be obtained thereYrom. The gentleman
named, ruminating on the circumstance Of
the silk-worm living on one description of
food, came to the conclusion that "the silky
substance must lie, not in the animal, but
the vegetable matter" which supported it,
He therefore "analyzed the composition of
the mulberry leaf, and by boiling it to a thick
paste, produced every description of silk in
immense quantities" This is important, if
true, but of this we have our doubts. The
Sydney Empire is the authority, and it gives
quite an elaborate article upon the subject.

in, adding, if possible, still more horror to
the scene. Instantly the most intense ex-
citement prevailed, and the people rushed
wildly around the burning building in the
vain effort to save, if possible, the lives of
those beneath the ruin. The fire was so
intensely hot that it was impossible to en-
ter the building, and as soon as possible
streams were brought to bear, and in a
short time crowd of men rushed in and
began to search for the bodies among the
hot bricks and the burning rubbish.

the first fire broke out. We trust the po-
lice will fully investigate this.

Ohio Election.

The Columbus Journal of the oath
states that the official majority for Cover
nor Chase, in all but counties, is 1857.
The counties 10 be heard from officially are
Butler, Fulton, Jackson, Logan, Ottawa,
Perry, Williams, and Wyandot. The ma
jority for Chase over Payne will be about
1000. The Journal says:
In the Presidential election, the popular
majority in Ohio against Fremont was H.
658. The popular majority in Ohio against
Governor Chase will not exceed twenty
five hundred or three thousand, being a
Republican gain, in one year, of over eight
thousand.
The Statesman claims seven democratic
majority in the Senate, and thirteen in the
House. The legislature will be almost en-
tirely new body. The only Democratic
Senator reelected is Mr.. Phelps of the Au-
glaise, DC, district. Messrs. Langdon and
Thomas of Hamilton, have been promoted
from the last House to the Senate. Mes
SIS. Robson of Hamilton, Cowan of Ash
land, Ralston of Richland, Andrews of Au-
glaise, and Pittman of Crawford, are the
Democrats reelected to the House. The
Republicans reelected to the Senate are
Messrs. Garfield of Medina, and Taylor of
Mahoning. To the House, Messrs. Town
send of Trumbull, Watson of Cuyahoga,
Monroe of Lorain, Bell of Medina, Blair of
Auskingum, and Catch of Green. Mr..
Caldwell, of Ashtabula, promoted from the
House to the Senate.
From the returns received at Columbus,
the Journal supposes all the Constitution
al Amendments have been defeated. They
have large majority of the votes cast
for or against the amendments, but not a
majority of all the votes given in the cleo
ton. Many did not vote at all on the
amendments, but voted for the State ticket.
Such count against the amendments. The
Bank bill is badly beaten.

The LAND SPEcULAToRs.-An article
in the Chicago Tribune informs us that
shoals of people from New England and
the Middle States are travelling Westward
to look after the farm lands and building
lots, in which they invested so much mon
ey last summer and spring, at time of
great initiation, or upon the security of
which they lent money to western men,
The Tribune adds, that these investments
are hopeless now, and will be for years
to come. The amount of land now for
sale is immense, in fact, out of all proper
tion to the demand at present, or any pros
pective demand for the next ten years. AS
for the building lots nine-tenths of them
might as well be sacrificed al once by their
owners for any price they will bring
From the tone of the western papers it is
quite clear that none of the land now held
by Spectators will be saleable for long
time to come, unless thrown into the mar
ket for whatever it will bring. Then emf
grants and settlers will be attracted to the
regions which the eager appetites of specu-
lators had swallowed up. But if not, then
the next tide of emigration will pass over
them entirely and they will be forgotten.
