DRoP TIE NIGaER.-The indianapolis At
las says:
THE Republicans of the free States would
most gladly drop the niger question if
they were peruitted TO do so. They do not
desire to agitate it, but it is forced upon
them by the Democratic party, who attained
power by its agitation, and who seem deter
mined to keep it by the same means"
If the Republicans would stop talking the
niger, the other side would soon cease
prating about slavery. The best stopper to
the tongue of a virago is silence. When
no one answers, it lags, the steam of her
wrath goes down, and the quarrel ends in a
dead calm aud silence. If tie Black Repub-
ilcans would remain silent on the niger
question for six months, they would kill off
the Southern slavery extensionists; they
would die of inanition in sixty days Both
parties, North and South, live upon the ex-
element which the violence of each pro-
duces in the opposite section. If one would
stop, the fuel of the other would be gone.

only small increase above their crops in
so. On the whole the above estimate is
by no means too large.
Of the four hundred millions of bushels
of corn raised in these six States, fuo hun
dred millions scil Be surplus for the fat
tening of hogs and cattle, the manufacture
of whisky, and expectation to the Atlantic
and foreign markets. The nsarketa6ls
price Of articles made by corn, and corn
exported, estimating in this case at New
York prices will not be under one km,s-
dred and fifty millions of dollars. This
is again the basis of vast and profitable
trade, carried on over railroads, lakes and
rivers, making large proportion of that
magnificent internal commerce which is, at
once, cause and consequence of the more
magnificent growth of this great central
West.
1t will be recollecled that this is the
surplus Of one staple, in these six States.
Even in this region alone, compreheDding
but a seventh part of the surface of the
United States, corn is of more importance
than the entire cotton crop
In the Ohio Valley, corn is the peculiar
staple. Inthis region, there is a very large
extent of alluvial valleys and of limestone
uplands, both peculiarly adapted to this
plant; and climate whose long summers
permit its perfect ripening. Although corn
grows over very zone, it is, by no means,
equally adapted or equally profitable
throughout that zone. In New York, she
average of corn is twenty bushels per acre
but in Ohio it is thirty-four bushels. It
follows that while corn may be grown in
New York, or Wisconsin, Florida or Tex
as, those are not the regions in which it is
profitable. The section, whose axis is
on the Ohio river, is the center of corn
growth, where it will be both abundant
and valuable. While this section is fitted
for all the cereal crops, corn will long re-
main its main source of agricultural profit.
The time is probably near in which all Eu-
rope will be obliged to receive corn in
grain, as well as manufactured. The pres
ent tendancy of Europe-as it is IN this
country also-is to increase toacn popsac-
tons while there are means of feeding
them. London has more than two mil
lions of people; Liverpool half millioni
Paris a million; while such great manufae-
turing towns as Manchester, Birmingham,
Leeds. Glasgow, &e., contain millions more.
These people must be fed; not merely
with bread, but with meat. Wheat is too
huctualing crop to depend on altogether;
and even if it could be depended on for
bread, where will they get meat, candles,
lard, soap, oils, &C.? England imports
cattle from Holland and eggs from France.
But France and Germany viii soon have
not enough for themselves, unless the in
crease of the manufacturing population
ceases. Indian corn is the great resource
to answer the ultimate demand for food, and
it is not improbable that we shall be called
upon to supply that demand to an extent
beyond anything We have anticipated.
Holmes County Republican. [volume] (Millersburg, Holmes County, Ohio) 1856-1865, 1859-10-27

From 1850 to 1855, the number of
acres of corn planted increased so per cent /;
in the extraordinary of SO, the number of
acres planted decreased Is per cent, and
the Average per acre fell still more. The
cause was climatic-arising from the sim
gle fact, that the spring rains fell just a
month later than usual, or were enormous
in amount. No such course of events has
occurred in Ohio for many years, if ever.
The result was, that great deal of land
could not be planted, and as a great deal
of corn planted could not be ripened. The
crop was the smallest relatively, we have
ever had in Ohio. But that very crop
demonstrated one thing of great impor-
tance, that the corn crop could not entirely
fail, without miracle. In the worst year
We have had, Ohio raised fifty millions of
bushels. If we turn now to the crop of
this year, We find that the planting season
was good one, and with the exception of
the 4th of June frost, there has been no.
thing extraordinary to interfere with it,
There has been neither d. outh, nor heavy
rains. The frost of the 4th of June did
injure corn in some parts of Ohio; but to
no great extent; especially as the great
corn region is in the southern part of the
State. We may therefore infer, as indeed
all accounts agree in stating, that in the
main, the corn crop Of the Ohio Valley is
very good one. If we inquire what it
amounts to, we have the means of calcula-
ting it very nearly. We have the popula-
tion, which in some States, like Kentucky,
has not increased as fast as in Ohio and
Illinois. We have the crops of Ohio for
series of years, and we We have the crops
of 40 and 80, in all of them. Taking these
data as basis, we estimate the corn crop
of six States (including Missouri) as fol-

Sabbath Physiology.

The Almighty rested one seventh of the
time of creation, commanding man to OBJ
serve an equal repose. The neglect of
this injunction, will always, sooner or Ia
ter, bring mental, moral and physical death.
Rest is an invariable law of animal life.
The busy heart beats, beats ever from in
fancy to age and for large part of the
time. it is in a state of repose.
William Pitt died of apoplexy at the
early age of forty-seven. When the des-
TIMES of nations hung in large measure
on his doings, be felt compelled to give an
unremitling attention to affairs of state.
Sabbath brought no rest to him, and soon
the unwilling brain gave signs of exhaus-
ton. But bis presence in Parliament was
conceived indispensable for explanation and
defense of the public policy. Under such
circumstances, it was his custom to eat
heartily of substantial food, most highly
seasoned, just before going to his place, in
order to afford the body that strength, and
to excite the mind to that activity deemed
necessary to the memontous occasion. But
under the high tension, both brain and
body perished prematurely.
Not long ago one of the most active
business men of England found his affairs
so extended, he deliberately determined to
devote his Sabbaths to his accounts. He
had mind of wide grasp. His views
were so comprehensive, so far seeing, that
wealth came upon him like food. He
purchased a country seat, at the cost of
four hundred thousand dollars, determin-
ing that he would now have peace and qui-
ct. But it was too late. As he stepped
on his threshold, after a survey of his late
purchase, he became apoplectie. Al
though life was not destroyed, be only
lives to be the wreck of q man.
1t used to be said that brick-kiln
''must" be kept burning over the Sabbath;
it is now known to be fallacy. There must
be no ''must" against divine command.
Even now, it is received opinion, that
iron blast furnaces will bring ruin if not
kept in continual operation. Eighteen
years ago, an Englishman determined to
keep the Sabbath holy as to them, with
the result, as his books testified, that ne
made more iron in six days than be did
before in seven; that he made more ron
in giveu time, in proportion to the hands
and Size of his furnaces, than any estab-
lishment in England which was kept in
operation during the Sabbath.
In our own New York, the mind of
man who made half million yesr, went
out in the night Of madness and an early
grave in only two years, from the very
strain put upon it by a variety Of enter
prises, every one Of which he succeeded.
at will take about Eve years TO rcei
them off" said an observant master Of an
Ohio canal boat. alluding to the wearing
out influences Of the boatmen, who worked
on Sabbaths, as well IS on other days
As to the boatmen, and fireuen Of steam
ers on the Western rivers, which lay By
on Sabbaths, 2 years is the average Of life.

portion of time for the purpose Of rest Is
demonstrably physiological necessity,

rejoice! 1t is day of heaven upon earth !!
Life's sweetest calm, poverty's birth-right,

a Shimei, pass him by. But if he comes
