Indian Corn.
From he Cincinnati G"..nset Ociobe, II.

From n, Cincinnati Ga..ns Of Ociobe, H..
TO an observer OF the agriculture and eli
mate of the lnitcd States it is quite evident
that corn is The most important produce of
land in this country. Estimating. rs we
may fairly do, the aggregate crop oi lo59 IL
nine hmuired millions ~ JuSh,S, and the
price, NJ an average of forty cents, land it
is probably more, the corn crop is worth
three hHHdJsd and SIXTY millions n I"li,uS-
considerably more than double that Of the cot
ton crop, (of which SO much is said, and OF
much greater relative Importance to the com
tort and subsistence Of the people. IL Is time
that the Western people should know some
thing OF their own products and interests
In this year 1852 if 1t were not for Indian
corn there would be almost 4 famine III the
land But that product is abundant. ani
enters into So many departments of food and
convenience that il stands in place OF the de-
ticicncy III other crops. Ii iattens hogs, 1t
fattens cattle, it enters into the food uf man
and makes the basis of the profitable though
dangerous commerce in domestic and manu-
featured liquors. In 1858 there were lOO, GOO
hogs killed in Ohio, and in some form ex-
ported. 1t required eight million bushels
Of corn, besides other food, to fatten them
This corn made the pork, lard, lard OIL can
dies. Sc., which were exported from Clncin-
matt aud other ports. Ten millions .! bush
els were made into wiiskey. Two or three
millions more made fat cattle; and thus the
surplus corn Of Ohio was manufactured
into various forms OF food. light, and liquor
In this there was the treble profit OF the far
mcr, merchant, and manufacturer, all realiz-
ci in one community. The fact that Cin
cinnati concentrates the results OF this triple
operation is no small element in her prosper
ity. Twenty millions Of dollars per annum
will not cover the commercial operations OF
Cincinnati arising from the single article Of
Indian corn To nave good crop-which IN
this region. is generally the case-is Of vast
. Importance IL thi, community.
The crop Of this year, we have reason to
believe, is abundant, but probably not great
cr, If a much, as in 1857. Taking several
years together. the crops ii corn III the Ohio
Valley States rapidly increase; especially 50
in the States Of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois,
where the population increases rapidly
The crop i'll any one year must depend on a
combination OF the people to cultivate, the
adaptation of soil, and the change Of seasons.
With the increase OF people, Pie sois adapt.
ell to corn land in these States It Is more
than half the whole surtace) will BE- more
and more cultivated. The quantity Of ncres
planted will Of course increase from year 10
wear, ba; the average product per acre de-
pcnds much upon the season.

The attempt of Brown, the insurgent to
throw discredit upon the honor Of his coun-
sci, Messrs. Green and Bolts, by repudiating
and rejecting their services, after his trial
had commenced, is in character These
gentlemen acted for him, up to the time
when he declined their aid, as faithfully and
efficiently as men could act. Their task
was thankless one, and not of their own
seeking they discharged their duty
honorably and conscientiously.

timorc sun says, that ''Offers will be made,
on or before the LIST proximo, by several per-
sons, for cxpeditng the great Northern and
Southern mail between New York and New
Orleans. The time for receiving proposals
for this service was extended till the lst of
November, with view to enable contrac-
tors TO bid for the service contemplated by
the Southwestern route, the only gap in
which is about to be filled by the completion
Of one road on the route. There are three
more routes upon which the mail may he
carried. There are persons who say that
they can undertake to contract TO convey
the mail between New Orleans and New
York, daily, without failure, the year round,
in three days This would be as good as
! ballooning, and much more certain. 1t Is to
be remarked that, Tor this special service the
Department does not propose to pay cent
unless for what is actually performed. The
maxim of mo play, no pay is to regulate
this contract"
