When Farmers should Wait for Higher Price.

When Farmers Should Wait for Higher PrieeeI
Some men have sold their wheat or wool at
the common rates, and the next week they
have learned ilat they might have got 80 per
cent more by whiting. They have lost $500
or $40 0, by a hasty sale. Other men have
refused very high prices in hope of a still fzr-
thrr rise. In All hour so as to speak, prices
have fallen one half, aud The loss branded their
memories with scar, which lasts their lives.
ow these losses cannot always be avoided.
Men of the best judgment and the widest en-
perience sometimes suffer in these ways The
causes which effect the prices are sometimes
entirely unknown, or II they are known, the
extent of their power may be often miscalcu-
lated. Still general principles are Of great
use and they will help the farmer almost al
ways to answer wisely the question we have
placed at ths bead of this paragraph. We

AReal Danger TO the sonth.
a[From the New york Times

The real danger which now menaees the
peace Of the Southern States, results from the
studied, persistent and extravagant misrepre-
sentations Of the principles and purposes Of
the Republican party, by Democratic denna-
gogues. 1t seems to be the chief vocation OF
these political despesadoes to impute the most
sliaboicaF aims to the great party. which, un-
der the form of the Constitution, is about to
assume the administration of the Federal Gov
ernment. According to their enemies the Re
publican party aims at nothing else than the
simfaediate obstruction Of Slavery yEintheStates j;
aapdto effect this object, the Constitution is to
|. be trampled. under the unhallowed feet Of Abb
olitions incendiaries, the sovereignty Of the
States is to be overthrown, and the Govern
ment of the Union Is to become consolidated
hdespotism. IfsWe aresto helieveathe same au-
therities. the negroes Of the South are notaonIy
to be set free by an act of sCongre or by the
habeas corpus, but they are to be made in all

truth of what some assert, that the mulatto
race is not healthy and prolific, at least within
the tropics, and cites the testimony of Moreau
