We extract the following paragraph from what
purports to be communication in the Times of
yesterday:
"a paper which issues andspreads among the
nbOlitionists of the North, n flaming prospectus
speciaLly prepared for that market. announcing,
in high sounding words, that it is the only pa
per published in Virginia, in favor of free
speech, free labor, and free soil, and earnestly
inviting the Black Republicans of the North to
bolster it up so that it may infuse its poisonous
doctrines and spread its ruinOus principles
through our happy land.
That this journal everissued aprospcctus ''sPo-
ciaIIypreparcd" for any market, is false. 1t has
never pretended to be the 'only paper in Virgin
lain favor offrce soil, free labor and free speech
ANY prospectus ever issued from this office, has
Ueen aIiKe circulated So vrs;rio, Ohio aud Damn

those which we have published to the world in
our paper. We have avowed ourselves the
friends of free labor and free speech time and

it, we have but ono opinion, and it can be learn

PoRK PAcKING.-Ncver since pork packing
was first introduced has season opened under
worse auspices than at present. For years in
the commencement of November, the pens at
tachcd to the packing establishments were usu-
ally filled with fat porkers, but at present they
ton to buy hogs otherwise than on time, and
farmers do not like to Sell except for cash. We
can therefore give no accurate quotations. I'm
der these circumstances, there is no doubt that
farmers will torn their hogs into bacon, while
some, in view of the large corn crop, will not
kill at all this season.
All this indicates that the quantity of pork
that will be packed must be exceedingly small,
and enhance the price of barrelled pork. For
these reasons we should consider it good policy
on the part of farmers to bring their hogs in
and have them packed on their own account
Our pork houses are fully supplied with salt
and barrels for the season. Louisville Journal
