THE Conn CROP OF lS59.-There no lon
ger exists doubt as to the fact that this
great staple of the West this year, has by no
means proved failure. On the contrary it
is generally believed that the entire yield,
Notwithstanding the failures occasioned by
the drouth in some localities, will be full
average The Cincinnati Price Current, good
authority for agricultural statistics, assets
that the corn crop in Ohio, generally speak
ing, is good, and estimates that the weld
making allowance for injury by the drouth in
some places, and taking into consideration
the wider breadth of land planted, will be a
large one. Indiana is put down as being
sure of an excellent crop. In Illinois, with
the exception ofa few counties in the north.
ern portion of the state, the crop is fair, and
generally exceeds the expectation of the farm
ers; in Missouri and Iowa, the crop is pretty
good, and in Kentucky also it is fair av
erage. 1t was feared month aro, that the
corn crop of the West would prove almost n
total failure, but there is no longer ground
for alarm on that score The crop in WIS

A Kentucky farmer has been making ex-
periments in feeding several lots of hogs.
changing them raw to cooked, and from
ground to ungrourd food The result of
these several trials are communicated to tho
New York Tribune from which we give the
general estimate.
One bushel of dry corn made five pounds
and ten ounces of live pork. One bushel of
boiled corn made fourteen pounds aud seven
ounces ofpork. One bushel of ground corn,
boiled, made in one instance sixteen pounds
Z ounces, in another nearly eighteen ponnds
of pork. Estimating corn at ninety cents
bushel and pork at eight cents pound, wo
have as the result ofone bushel of dry corn,
~ cents worth OF pork; ofone bushel of
boiled corn, ST. 10 worth of pork, and fonc
bushcl Of ground corn boiled 81 sc worth of
pork.

The dry goods imports at New York con-
tinue large although last week the entries fall
slightly below those of 1857. The round
figures are, this year, entries to the extent
of 81 100000, against 100000 same week
last year, and 81 900, 900 same week of 1857.
This makes total import entry to the close
of last week this year, of s95,0o0,OOo,
against $40 100000 to same date last year,
and $50, 100000 to same date in 1857
The amount thrown upon the market this
year is equal to the import entry; in 1857 it
was five millions of dollars less. There is
no doubt that the stock held over this fall in
this city will be very large Chicago Dem

The political contest which has just cul-
minated in complete Republican victory in
this State has been one of the most disgrace
full as far as the molly opposition could
make It, that was ever fought in the State
and should teach the Republicans a lesson
A large amount of money has been spent
larger by halfthan ever heretofore by the
Democratic party. All the Post Masters and
Mail Contractors in the State have been tax
ed heavily and money raised outside the
State and sent into the closely contested
Counties and Districts. And besides the
money raised by taxing federal office holders
large amounts have been contributed by
candidates and others In the State, com.
mencins with Dodge and running clear
through the catalogue.
In this manner the sinews of war were
furnished. And thus amply provided with
money it is unnecessary for us to inform oul
readers of the kind of warfare adopted by
the managers. Abandoning the field of ar
gument as untenable, they sent out as the
champions of Democracy set of as precious
vagabonds and blackguards as ever wen
unhung. Abandoning the true issues, and
ignoring the usual weapons of political war
fare resort was had to flschood and de-
traction. Votes were attempted to be made
out ofthe misfortunes of the deaf and dumb
the blind and Insane. The noblest institu
ton in our State, the hospital for the Insane
by a system of wholesale lying, was made to
minister to the purpose Of the infamous con
spiritors. The hard times caused by cror
failures and the great panic of 1857, was
charged upon the Republican State Admins
tration, as in fact was every calamity that
has overtaken our people.
But it would not do. Their internal in.
carnations failed. Their attempts to stir mr
dissentions and divisions in our ranks were
only to small extent successful. Iowa

is Republican all over. A Republican Gov.

Our sharpest pang, Our bitterest tear,
On Thee we cast each earthborn care,
We smile at pain while Thou art near
Though long the weary way we tread,
And sorrow crcwn each lingering year,
No path we shun, no darkness dread,
Onr hearts still whispering, Thou art near
When dropping pleasure turns to grief,
And trembling faith is changed to fear,
The murmuring wind, the quivering leaf
Shall softly tell US, Thou art near! -
On Thee we fling our burdening woe,
OhLove Divine, forever dear,
Content to suffer, while we know,
Living and dying, Thou art near!

Throughout the pages of history we are
struck with the fact that our remarkable men
possessed mothers of uncommon talent for
good or for bad, and great energy of charac-
ter 1t would almost seem from this cir
cumstance that the impress of the mother Is
more frequently stamped upon the boy, and
that Of the father upon the girl-we mean the
mental intellectual impress, in distinction
from the physical one.
1t is said Of Sir Walter SCOTS mother that
she was small, plain, well-educated woman,
of excellent sense, very charitable, and a
great lover of poetry and painting, and on the
whole superior woman. 'Tis evident from
the writings of Sir Walter that he had an
uncommon gift in word painting.
1t is said of Byron's mother, that she was
proud woman, hasty, violent, and unrea-
sonable, with not principle sufficient to re-
strain her temper. Unhappily, Byron inner,
tied his mothers infamable temper, and
instead of being subdued and softened by
the harshness with which she so often treat.
ed him, he was rendered more passionate by
it. Thus we see that this infrmity, which
by gentleness and kind treatment might
have been greatly checked, ifnot cured, was
suffered to enslave one of the most talented
brilliant, poctical minds which have ever
shone among men, entailing life Of misery
upon its possessor, and an curly termination
to his career.
The mother of ofBonaparte was woman OF
great beauty and energy ofcharacter. This
last trait has been strikingly exemplifed
throughout his whole life.
The mother ofRobcrt Burns, the Scottish
poet, was awoman Of moderate personal at.
fractions, but in every other respect she was
a remarkable woman. She was blessed with
singular equanimity of temper, and he,
religious feelings were constant and deep
She used to give wings to the weary hours
other checllercd life by chanting old songs and
ballads, of which she had large store Her
keen, and she lived to good old age, reioic,
ing in the fame other poet-son, and partaking
of the fruits of his genius.
Lord Bacon's mother is said to have been
a woman Of superior mind, of great learning
and deep piety.
Little is said of the mother of Nero, except
that she murdered her second husband, the
Emperor Claudius, about four years after
marriage. Do we wonder that Nero was q
cruel Emperor. if his mother was murderess:
How strangely does the mother of Nero, an
ancient tyrant, contrast with the mothers OF
some of our modern ph;lanthropists and
statesmen the mother of Washington,
whose name is familiar to every reader OF
history the mother of John Jay, who de
serves place by the side of Washington
Mrs. Jay is said to have had cultivated
mind, a fine imagination and an affectionate
temper.
The mother of Patrick Henry was a woman
of great excellence of character, and marked
by superior conversational powers. Hence,
doubtless, the oratorical gift of her son.
With the mother of the Adamses all are ac-
quainted. Where will you find more real
practical common sense and true energy of
character than John Qlincy's mother pos
sessed? Mothers will do well to remember
that their impress is often stamped upon
their sons.

ton of the Roman Catholic priests, but the
Government has persevered and triumphed.
The partition OF Poland was high-handed
act of treason against humanity entire but
if Austria and Russia had governed their
portions of the dismembered realm as we'll
as Prussia has governed hers, the Poles would
have no great reason to complain. This we
heard mobiles ofGallicia acknowledge heartily
They said, too, that whilst Prussia, Prot
estant country, had governed her part of the
Poland best, Austria had governed hers the
worst. And yet the Poles are Roman Cath
olics, the Austrians are Roman Catholics, and
they who made this acknowledgment were
Roman Catholics!
Prussia never was so strong as she Is now
Had she another Frederick the Great at hel
head, she would unite all Germany under
her sway. There is much animosity exist
ing at this moment between Austria and
Prussia, but Russia and England will bt
able, we trust, to prevent them from going t.
war. Prussia is strongly Protestant-elever
or twelve millions of Protestants to five OF
six millions Of Roman Catholics Austria i
eminently Roman Catholic-twenty-se
or eight millions Of Roman Chathofics to three
millions of Protestants, and four or five
millions of the Greek Church, and ''Unitet
Greeks" the latter of whom may be ranked
with the Romanists.
Should war take place between Prussia
and Austria, and the other nations keep Their
hands off, we have but little doubt that the
former would soon raise NJ Hungary, and
then there could be little doubt as to the result
1t is much to be regretted that Prussia allow
ed herself to be impelled by the clamor o.
Bavaria and some other the minor German
course she did. She ought, as Russia and
England told her, to have maintained the
strictest neutrality then the Austrians would
have been driven out offtaly. Her unfbrtu
nate movement irritated France, nor did il
satisfy Austria. 1t was every way most un,
fortunate But Prussia can well take care
of herself in the face Of any enemy on thu
continent, excepting France. She Is not
match for France-neither her population
nor the nature Of her country sufiicing fol
this. True wisdom will counsel her to main
tain peace as long as it can be done with
honor and safety. We are free to acknowl
edge that we are not without serious appre
hensians. But Of these We will not speak
now.
