where it has been cultivated in any
tolerable degree. Wheat came in
light, Potatoes will be light. Buck
wheat bids tolcrably fair. Becfcattle
are low, but horses high. Pork will
be high=.pcrhaps as high as So per
cwt. Money is still scarce.
The Chinese Sugar Cane crop is
coming in very abundantly (; some are
already beginning the manufacture OF
it into syrup. 1t is easily done, and
the syrup is of the most excellent
quality. 1t will doubtless become a
staple in this State before many years.
The Railroads under construction
are progressing, Notwithstanding the
great scarcity of cash.
The face of society seems somewhat
agitatcd with paroxisms of Kansas
fever. Some are selling and leaving
for the Territory, and others are offer
ing their farms at almost so per cent.
less than what they refused for them
u year or so ago. These connections
once settled, it will greatly tend to
improve the character of society,
though it is by no mean of the worst
sort now.
\ most horrible murder was com
mitted within this vicinity Il few days
since. \ man was found dead in the
woods near to q travelled road, almost
dcvourcd by hogs. Ashbrook vas his
name. He had been seen gambling
with cards with one lIaines. "a young
man, near the place at about midnight
by the light of a star candle, a day OF
two before the body was found, and
both I~Iaincs and Ashbrook had been
together TO obtain Il bottle of liquor
about u mile from the place, at about
the same time they were seen playing
at cards in the woods. This was on
Tuesday, the latter part of last month,
and on Friday following the body OF
Ashbrook was found. l|IaiueS was ar.
rested and committed to jail to await
his trial. Yours as ever,

Letter from Illinois.

MoNr MEAcHAM, Ill.,, Sept. 1853.
MEssRs. EpIroRs The world is
awake and battling at the height Of
their energies, each party for the as
cendancy in the present political cam
paign. Illinois seems all alive. AS
you learn from the journals of the State,
Judge Douglas and Hon. Abraham
Lincoln are the rival candidates for
the United States Senate. But You
can only see the battle field in the dis
lance, compared with what IRE witness
it rrgM here in our midst.
Truly there never was a closer COM
bat. Joint dissenSions seem to be the
preferable mode of warfare, and it
certainly seems to cventuate in the
settlement of conflicting questions in
a much more stable and permanent
way than the customary mode of stump
oratory, in the absence of the competi.
tors. In the latter cast gross misrep'
reservations will be made and used te
prejudice the unwary masses by the
voters of both parties, and often by
the orators themselves, but when the
candidates speak face to face and take
occasion to scrutiniZc each others pc
sitions at the time, there is very little
opportunity for misrepresentation oil
either party without certain detection
Lincoln proves too much, even fo
the Little Giant" His mastery tao
tics, and readiness to make capita
out of every possible advantage lief
him by his adversary, together wit
his minute, thorough and ripe under
standing of the whole policy both c
the Administration and the Opposition
enables him, quite successfully to cop
with Douglas, though the latter ha
= been so long in active public life. Hi
logic is as clear, conclusive, and il
resistable Is so many mathematics
demonstrations, whereas, the theor
of Douglas policy requires the mos
t subtle sophistry to make it appear a
: all plausible. Lincoln, however, dashe
= his position to pieces like "a potter
n vessel"
n The old line Clay Wings are almos
to a man, falling into the Republica
ranks, and, as Douglas corrupt polio
in undertaking to force a constitutio
upon Kansas, without affording til
people an opportunity to pass upo
it, is being unmasked by the masterl
IL hand of Senator Trumbull, the Dem
Gratis, many of them, are becomin

must be as dead now as if he we
already buried.
The lllinoisans are not wholly u
of aware that the eye of every Stat
North and South, is a~nxiously fix
upon them, and for the most part thu

S, sponsibility.

Farewell i. said youth to his mother
as he stepped aboard tie evening train
bound for New York. Farcwcll--and
the mother pressed his hand and babe
him goodbye. The train starts, and
the mother steps back waving her
hand to him, and with a suppressed
farewell turns her steps home ward
through the dusky moonlight. In ST
lent prayer she lifts her heart to God
for the safety Of her only son. On a
beautiful site near the bank of a flow
ing river, this youth had been reared
by fond parents with loving care.
From infancy to childhood, from child
hood to early manhood, he had been
taught to reverence the Supreme Be
ing. He had been early taught to
shun the paths of evil, and turn his
footsteps in the ways OF life evcrlas-
ting. With assiduous care he had been
trained up to learn the ways Of wis
dom and knowledge, and to feel that
the way of the transgrcssor is hard.
His father had guarded his footsteps
in early youth, and tried to point his
aim to nobler objects. But vain were
their anticipations. He vas Maynard
and headstrong. His father secured
him a place in a store as clerk, but
that made him none the less audacious
and after some weeks he returned
: home where he tarried q short time
and was returning AS stated in the
opening of our story. We will now
t follow him as he returns to his Office
1 There he spent his money in a ~triliine
: manner and was obliged to ask loans
I as he was ashamed to make his neccs
, sites known to his father, who knew
. his wages were sufficient by using
S reasonable economy, and not daring
to let his employer know anything o
the matter. He knew he could no
| return the sum if he continued on Dor
rowing, and one night, with some U
t his comrades, he entered the store u
t his employer and took enough to SUI

Grass WIDOWS IN INDIANA.-A cor
respondent of the Dayton Journal, who
has been travelling out in the Wabash re-
gons of Hoos erdom, discovered one recu.
larity in every town he tarried in:
Speaking of grass reminds me of the
fact that Indiana (and particularly the
Wabasb) is literally swarming with grass
widows. Every hotel or tavern has or
have had one or more of those bewitching
vixens domiciled with them for ten days
which makes them citizens aud residents
of the state of Indiana, and with a little
hard swearing, natives, too. At the expi-
ration Of ten days suit is commenced
against some vile husband, and, as a mat.
ter of course, "a divorce is granted, if for DO
other cause than incompatibilty of temper.
Here are congregated from all the states
in the Union Except Illinois, who is q
competitor for this probable lawyer trade,)
all the disconsolate grass widows, A case
/ heard Of 10 Peru, where the widow of a
millionaire had come from Brazil, remain
ed here ten days, got her divorce, with
5000 of alimoEy, and would have had
more. but old Croesus had no more in the
United States that was comeatible.
