The Wool Market.

The general belief among buyers and
spectators in wool appears to be that the
new clip in this State and Iowa will be
light, large proportion of the sheep of
these two States having died during the
past winter We do not assert this upon
our own responsibility, but such an opih-
ion is very generally entertained among
the dealers in this city.
The receipts of wool at Chicago were
less during the year 1858 than for several
years previous There Is no reason to sup
pose that the general yield Of this State,
and of Wisconsin, was lighter than usual,
but considerable amounts of wool in the
Northern portion of Illinoise and in Wis
consin was purchased last year by Eastern
buyers, and forwarded to other lake ports
for shipment, while some portion OF the
clip in the central and southern parts of
the State found its way East by railroads
not touching Chicago.
The receipts of wool in this city during
the 1858 were ,O53, 500 pounds, of which
but Ii, 952 pounds remained on hand at
the close of the year During the present
year up to this date, the receipts have
been 46, BAT pounds, and the shipments
have been S7,269 This shows an excess
Of shipments over what was left on hand
at the beginning of this year and the sub
sequent receipts, of $3.50 We presume
this excess has been made up Of pulled
wool, taken from pelts received here from
the country or from butchers.
We have said that the receipts here from
the lst Of January last up to date have
been 46, 347 pounds. The receipts for the
corresponding period Of last year were on
ly 5,s47 pounds, giving an excess in the The
receipts of the present year of 10000
State. e u.
tinue, the receipts at the close of the year,
will equal or exceed those of 1855, when
they reached very nearly two million
pounds. If the views of the buyers, are
correct, however, the receipts will be small
There is at present very little wool in
store here, and still less on the market.
The prices that we give are scarcely more
than nominal rates Extra pulled Wool
is worth Al cents, probably little more
than that; Superfne Pulled 371@3Sc-
There is no fleece on the market Small
lots will sell at 40 cents, and larger lots
would probably bring more
| We are aware that some two months or
six weeks since efforts were made by East
ern buyers to secure the coming clip OF
this season in advance, and that agents
were sent out for that purpose. Whether
the plan succeeded or not we have as yet
no means of knowing The manufacturers
East are all busy and the market there is
good The mills seem TO be making mo-

A Kansas Leaders, opinion of the Republi.
can nrafhrou

The Cincinnati Enquirer says that the
opposition in Kansas, now that the pro-
slavery pressure is removed, are beginning
to form parties among themselves, which
threaten as much bitterness toward one
another as was ever exhibited by the sla-
very and antislavery parties. Governor
Robinsin, of Topeka memory, bears very
strong testimony against the abolition
portion Of the party with which he is as
ISOLATED. In recent letter to the Law
renee Herald Of Freedom he notices the fact,
witnessed by himself, "of peaceable, law
abiding and well disposed free state men,
guilty of no crime, so far as it is known,
set upon in the streets of Lawrence, shout
ed at, brickbatted, stoned, fred at and
robbed After the robbery had been fin
ished. the affair was claimed by the leader
of the mob to be brilliant republican
maneuver, in accordance with the repub.
Gcan principles He also says he was
told by "a peace officer" that he was sin
danger of being robbed" if he did not
leave Lawrence. His letter closes in the
! following style:
| Il am told that these republican ruff
ans originated the call for the republican
convention at Osawatomie, and that it is
their intention to make that convention
indorse mob rule in the past and mob law:
i'll the future If such be the fact. tito be

berry, murder and assassination, prefer te

fans were running their party to destruc
ton. My motto has been for years, fire,
soil, free men, free speech and law, orde
and good government, and am not We
prepared to exchange it for rapine mur
der and assassination"
That is pretty strong talk for leade
against the brethren. The bleeding tina
Kansas now suffers is caused by the re
publicans, in accordance with republican
principles"

Senator Douglas.

1t is announced by the Philadelphia
Press of Thursday, the 2sth inst, that SEN
ator Douglas arrived in that city on the
previous evening, and took lodgings at the
Girard House. According to an announce
ment which we made some time since, on
such authority as warranted it at the time,
that our Senator would return to Chicago
about the last of April or the first of May
he should be here now. But, as is gen.
orally known, he was recalled from New
York to Washington by the sickness of
one of his sons, where he has been detain-
ed until last Wednesday. We are not ap.

The FREsuEr on THE WABAsH-The over

ly is exciting general attention In the
country interested The Vincennes Ga,
sette saws that while the floods swept out OF
the channel over the bottoms but once
in eight or ten years, they were of but lit
tie consequence, especially as the bottoms
were of little value; but now that five
oyerflows follow each otherin single year,
and the bottoms are highly cultivated, the
matter becomes one of the highest impor'
lance. The Illinois people are taking steps
to guard against the evil, by a levee, in
the Mississippi style, we presume, and the
Gazette speculates as to the effect OF s9en

side, changing the channel, and over
spreading our lands. Seeing nothing bu,
mischief in leaving our side unprotected, 1t

FINE WHEATON Tuesday morning last
our sanctum was invaded by our friend
Joseph Hunsaker, who brought with him,
for our inspection, one of the finest speci.
mems of white wheat we have ever laid
ewes on at this season of the year. !twas
over three feet in height, of the richest
green, strong and vigorous growth, and
bids fair to be superior to any wheat yet
raised in South illinois. He has large
the sickle by the first Of June. If no un-
toward event transpires to mar the pros
nects Of our farmers, we rather think that
the citizens of the north, especially those
at Freeport will be astonished at the
specimens of Agriculture we expect
there will be on exhibition at the State
Fair from old Union. We intend to keep
our name up to the point already acquired
the banner county of Illinois for fruit
and wheat growing So look out for sill
yer pitchers and other ct eeteras, for we are
bound to bring them southwark when the
Fair is over.-Jonesboro Gazette.
