THE GREAT WESTERN GRANERY.-Rev. J.
c. Holbrook, writing to the Pacific, of San
Francisco, from Dubuque, Iowa, Nov. 7,
gives some very interesting statistics and
reflections upon the progress and trade of
the Great West Its increase in population
and trade is almost startling on account of
its prodigiousness. Of the grain crop and
the trade Immediately arising from it, he
says:
Those who have read the papers are
aware that the grain crops of Illinois, Iowa
and Minnesota, have been unprecedented
and almost incredible this year. The rail-
roads from the interior of this State, and
those leading from the Mississippi to the
lakes, have been entirely unable to carry
forward the produce. At this place steam
elevators have been erected on each side
of the river, and the grain is transferred in
bulk from the cars to keel boats and fer
ried across, and then transferred again
from the boats to the cars. The average
weekly shipments here have been for some
time nast, from 80 to 10000 bushels o
wheat, from, 900 TO 500 bushels of corn
(most of this is kept to fatten hogs and tC
be sent to market in the shape of pork,
10000 to $4,000 barrels of flour, beside;
oats, potatoes, cattle, lead in pigs, etc
The Country Gentleman says:
"The extent of the wheat trade at Chica-
20 and Milwaukee at this time is marvelou:
The historical importance of Dantzic, Ham
burg and Odessa, dwindle into colonial in
significance, says the New York World
compared with those new emporiums of tn
'@'NA-
Michigan is greater than that of the Allan
tic Ocean. Chicago and Milwaukee rcceiv
and ship more wheat than any four cite
on the globe. The receipts of wheat a
these two cities since harvest, have bee
nearly two millions of bushels. The re
ceipts for any day of last week at thes
markets, would give one bushel to ever
inhabitant of Vermont, and the receipt 70
the week would feed all Massachusetts 70
a month"
This was written some weeks ago. Th
receipts of wheat at the lake ports ha
nearly doubled since then. The West i
only in her infancy yet. What will she be
and do, in ten or twenty years more, espe
cially if manufacturers are encouraged

that s.When two ride a horse, one mus
ride behind" That is not generally deemet
the preferable seat; but the rule remain
unaffected by that circumstance. w
know how to sympathise with..thc defeated
for we remember how we felt when Adam
was defeated, and Clay and Scott, and Ere
mont 1t is decidedly pleasanter to be oil
the winning side. We sympathize witt
the afflicted; but we cannot recommend
them to do anything desperate. What /
the use? They are beaten now; they ma.
triumph next time: in fact, they have gene
rally had their own way; had they beer
subjected to the discipline of adverSity a
often as we have, they would probabl,
bear it with more philosophy, and depor
themselves more befittingly. We live Il
learn: and one of the most difficult acquire
ments is that of meeting reyerses will
graceful fortiIude. If the cotton State
consider the value of the Union debatable
we maintain their perfect light to discuss
it. Nay: we hold with Jefferson 10 the in
alienable right of communities to alter o.
abolish forms of government that have be-
come oppressive or injurious; and if the
cotton States shall become satisfied thai
they can do better out of the Union than
in it, we insist on letting them go III peace
The right to secede may be revolutionary
one, but it exists nevertheless; and we do
not see how one party can have right to
prevent. We must ever resist the asserted
right of any State to remain in the Union
and nullify or defy the laws thereof. to
withdraw from the Union is quite another
matter. And whenever considerable sec
tion of our Union shall deliberately resolve
to go out we shall resist all coercive mea-
snres designed to keep it it in. We hope
never to live in republic, whereof one
section is pinned to the residue by bayon-
sts."
The PRINCES BRIDE.-Two or three days
ago the telegraph brought the information
that paper published in SAKE Cobourg
Gotha, announces the selection of the ouly
daughter of the Grand Duke of SAKE Me-
iningen as the future wife of the Prince of
Wales. The ducal house of SAKE Meinin-
gen is dynasty closely allied with that OF
