Nor FLATTERING PIcTuRE.-Judge
Burkley, in recent charge to the Grand
Jury of the District Court of Galveston,
presented most deplorable state of
morals in Texas. Among other things,
he said there was no country inhabited
by the Anglo-SaXon race in which there
was as little regard to law and order, as in
Texas, and continued:
during the four years that have been
on the bench there have been between
fifty and sixty cases of murder before me:
and if in each of the twelve judicial dis
tricts i'll the State there has been like
number then there has been upwards of
six hundred cases of murder IN four years,
showing state of things unequalled in
any country and that of these six hun
dred cases not six of them had been found
guilty by the jury before whom they were
tried. 1t is impossible to suppose that,
in all these cases, there was deficiency
in evidence, and the only conclusion to
which can arrive is, that the jury must
have forgotten rdisregarded their oaths."
The EAST AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE.-The-
Salem Register publishes the following
extract of letter from Zanzibar, dated
September 8; San American clipper ship
took Off 100 negroes from the coast u
few days since. If 1000 reach Havana.
the owners will make 100000. They
were shipped from lbo, and cost about
100000, If people send ships on this
coast for slaves they can get them. John
Bull is asleep. There are two English
men-of-war in port, watching chance to

The captain of the slave ship was Spani-

Tue PoRK MARKEr.-The Journal o

TUE Pork MARKEr.-The Journal of
American Produce, of November 8, says
From all parts of the country we find
complaints that the number of nogs in
the hands Of farmers and feeders, is less
than for several years. The universally
Of these complaints make them probable,
and if they are well founded the supplies
we can rely on for the coming season are
likely to show scarcity which cannot but
have its effect on prices. 1t also report
ed that the hog crop is in poor condition
for this time OF year. This circumstance
may tend to keep back the receipts; and
increase the scarcity. Still we think it
probable that both these reports are ex-
aggerated, and there are causes operating
to check and render very improbable
any serious increase of prices.

CHICAGO As GRAIN MARKET.-The Chi
cago journal says: "Our commercial col
umns from day to day have exhibited the
amount of grain and -four daily received
here, for all of which corresponding
amount of money is sent back daily into
the country tributary to this city. Yes
terday, for instance, the receipts Of -four
and grain at this point were equivalent
to lIgOOO bushels. At " moderate esti-
mate this amount of grain represents
$4,000, which money was sent back to
the country for it. 1t is no exaggeration
to say that from 100000 to $4,000 are
daily sent from this city into the country
for grain, and that this has been the case
for some weeks past. This, besides, is
exclusive of the amount paid out for grain
brought in by wagons, as our receipts
only embrace the canal, lake and rail-
road"

SALT RIVER The editor of the Louis.
vile Herald thus writes about a famous
river of Kentucky:
1twas on the banks of old Salt River
that the men once lived who, when tax.
ing down flatboat loads of salt to New
Orlorns, became the. terror of the land
from their homes to the mouth of the
Mississippi. They were rough, hardy
race, ever ready for dram or fight,
and not appropriately were called
Salt River Tigers" They were the
men who declared themselves zone hall
horse, one half alligator, and the other
half swapping turtle" each man of them
ever ready to whip his weight in wild
cats" But those days are passed. Ka-
nawha produces salt so much cheaper
than can be made from the springs and
wells on the banks of this river, that the
salt boatman's occupations gone, and a
more peaceful race now dwells in his old
haunts. To be rowed up Salt River"
was once no Idle threat, no trihing mat
ter, though now it be but "a figure OF
speech"

Life-Now-a-Days.

We 10 not know where or by whom the foil
ing was first put ailoat but it is so appropriat,
the age we live in, we cannot forbear its publ
tion:---
Life is but span--of horses:
One is "Age"--,the other "Prime;"
Up and down the hill our course il:
"Go in ponies-make your time"
Boyhood plies the whip of pleasure;
Youthful folly gives the stroke;
Manhood goads them at his leisure,
''Let en- rip they're tough as oak"
''IIi. yn! there" the stakes well pocket;
To the wind let care be sent;
Time, 2-iO. "Whip in socket,
Give EN- string, and let EN- went"
On the sunny road to fifty,
prime" is drowned in Lethe's stream;
Gage" is left, lame, old, unthrifty,
Life then proves one-horse team.
"Age' joys on, grows quite unsteady,
Reels ID slackens in his pace;
"Kicks the bucket" always ready;
"Gives it up'-Death wins the race

FoREIGN.--''he political news by the
City of Baltimore is of considerable inn
portancc. The Spanish declaration of
war against Morocco is confirmed, and the
Spanish Consul at rangier had struck his
flag and left. Spain is receiving energetic
support from France, and the relations
between that Power and England are
daily growing more uncertain. The op-
position of England to the proposed
European Congress and the old Suez Ca
nal dispute, have drawn from the semi
official Constitutional an article of de-
cdedly menacing character. The only
new feature in Italian politics is an adj
dress of Garibaldi to the Neapolitans,
who, we are assured are on the eve OF
rising in rebellion.

Some of the farmers in Sullivan and
other of the upper East Tennessee coun-
ties complain that the fly has made its
appearance, and is seriously damaging
the young wheat. In this section in
many places. wheat is up and growing of
finely, while others are not done seeding.
There is a contrarety of opinion among
the farming population in this country
about the proper time for putting in this
important cereal. In the main wheat
growing regions we believe early seeding
is generally practiced.
