TIE HOG MARKEr-We again advert
to this subject, which is an important item
to many of our people. One of our most
reliable citizens, who has recently returned
from East Tennessee, where he has spent
tho last several months, requests us to
state that at no time within the past five
years, has the hog crop been so abundant
in that section. Large numbers are being
collected, and are intended, he believes,
for this market. He thinks that our friend,
who gave us information several weeks
since quite to the contrary, was deceived
by persons whose interest'it is to create the
impression that hogs are scarce; and fur
ther, that our citizens should place no rcli-
ance on what drovors may affirm about the
scarcity, as there arc hundreds and thou
sands of the genus hog to make their ap.

The Baltimore Eleoiion.

We publish in another column further
reports of the shameful election, held in
Baltimore. on Wednesday last. 1t can in
no wise be called an election, and did the
proper spirit prevail in the Federal House

rig would be permitted to occupy seats to
which they are in no respect more entitled
than any other rowdies in that hopeful city.
The condition of distraction and rowdvism
to which Baltimore has attained, should IN
spre the decent and respectable citizens
throughout the United States, particular
ly in tho towns and cities, to take an ear
ly stand against frauds and corruptons in
elections. In this city and district, this
may be earnestly considered. An evil, uu-
less controlled, will always grow. We
have the incipicnt cancer now among us !;
unless it be cauterized and eliminated by
firmness, it may yet grow to be even so
great a mistake and disgrace as that which
now makes Baltimore by-word Of rcproach

The Times city article says the conviction
is that war is intended to be provoked. The
discussion in Parliament has had very discour-
aging effect, which was greatly aggravated by
the announcement Of the attempt of Sardinia
to make loan and the imperial pamphlet on
Italy. All the other city journals are also
specializing on the war question.
The Times says in its leading editorial-the
torch of war but once lighted, no one can tell
when it can be quenched. To England there
seems but one duty-that Of saying energeti-
cally that without war or any other disturb
ance of the general peace of Europe, Italy
will be free.
In another part of the city article, the Times
says it is presumed that the Sandman loan is
intended to be raised at Turin, but If that be
impossible, then at Paris, under French guar
antee. In London it would be scarcely en-
tertained for moment. The fall in per cents

VALUABLE LAND SUITS SErrLED.-We are
gratiied to learn that the important land cas-
es that have been on the docket of our
District Court for several years, involving the
title to property valued at upwards of fifty
thousand dollars have been decided in favor
of our old and respected citizens, Col. Nc
Kenty and Capt. Starkey. A Mr.. Heylin
was tho plaintiff, and the above named gen.
tlemen defendants. The cases were very
ably argued by VIM. Hollinshead and NJ.
E. Ames Esqs., on the part of the defendants,
during which quite display Of high legal at
tainments was made. The disputed property
is well known to most OF our citizens as the
" Lake Como Villas" Lake Residences
lake Phalan) and large tract of valuable
farming lands near St. Anthony-originally
entered by G. r. Conway and purchased from
him by the Land Operators above named and
by them sold to various other parties. In all
these cases they were decided in favor of Col.
McKenty and Capt. Starkey. They were
discontinued and judgment rendered against
the plaintiff for the whole costs of the suits.
This at once removes all chances of defect
i've title to these lands, and must be great
source of pleasure to the present owners, as
well as establishing the well known character
ofthese pioneer land dealers above named for
their strict and business like qualities in rela-
ton to. any property that has been originally
purchased by them.

Ign. Under steam, with, favorable circum-

and a heavy swell, six knots an hour. She
has not, thus far, proved fast sailer under
canvass, but in all other respects is well
adapted to the service. He thinks, however
this trial insufficient to do her justice, and
prefers waiting for another trial before pro-
nouncing positively ON her general merits.

DIsuNIoN PREAcHERs-The intelligence of
the people of the Northern States is continu-
ally being insulted by the charge constantly
iterated and reiterated by the Democratic press
of the country that the anti-Slavery people of
North are disunionists, and the only disunion-
lists, in the country. This charge is asserted
and reasserted, with seriousness that would
almost induce one to believe that those who
make the assertion actually believe what they
say. But the well-known fact that the dis
union anti Slavery party of the North is con-
fined to a few men-so very few that they
have never yet succeeded in electiEg single
representative to the National Council-pre-
natural inference is that the cry of disunon
on the part Of the Democracy of the northern
States is to frighten timih, conservative men
of the North into support of the Democracy,
who, according to their own showing, have
saved the Union y three or four times du-
ring each administration for the last twenty
years To show that disunion has no hold in
the Northern mind, that it is not Northern
Institution" it is only necessary to point to
few facts, among the most prominent of
.
avowed disunionist, in the strong i-Slavery
State of New York, receiving but 5000 votes.
But one district in that State is represented
by disunionist in the Legislature, and we
believe he stands alone in the North as a
representative, in high position, of his sympa-
thizers. ~. s-2t.s4
On the other hand, whereslid the first SEN
timents of DISCRIMINATION find expression
In North and South Carolina among the Sc
ceders and nullifers. The South is now rep
| resented at Washington by several men who
are known to be in favor of separation of
the South from the North. In fact they bold
| " declare their sentiments, and use them as
bugbear to brighten timid and wavering
men into voting for southern measures. AT
the South, throughout all the States the Or
ganization of a /" Great Southern Party" is
steadily progressing. They have adopted
Dissolution-cither peaceful or by force of
arms" as their motto, and their platform is
made up of resolutions like the following:
'Resolue9, That the South should sever the
existing Union of these States for past ag-
gressions, as well as for the prevention of
others which must inevitably follow under the
present existing state of national affairs"
The paper from which we take the above,

borne, Alabama, and evidently looks for a
speedy contamination of its desires, as the
