IMPORTANT From LoNDoS.-The London Post
(Lord PAIMEEToS's. and next 10 the Times the
most influential paper in England) received by
the last steamship, declares that the idea either
of the recognition of the Southern Confedoracy
on the part of England. or an attempt on her
part TO raise the blockade of the Southern ports,
will surely lead to war. in which the interests
of Britain must suffer vastly more than through
the temporary want of cotton. ..--i.,.-

In the Southern States there are at the pres.

men born on American soil and entitled to

by them been sold into slavery; q deed more

Hog CrOp-HOs Cholera.

The chicago correspondent of the N. |. 1cn,cs
writes:
The hog crop of the West is a large one this
year. Corn has borne so low aprice that every
body has been engaged in putting it into pork
where stock hogs were available, The conse-
quence is that the crop is large and prices mere
ly nominal. In Iowa, especially, the produc-
tion is unusually heavy, and as their Southern
market is closed, prices are clear down to the
lowest notch. In the river towns any number
of hogs can be purchased at from % to $3,
which Is about half of what they commanded
last year. In the central counties of this State,
however, the hog cholera is making fearful hav-
oc. Hogs are dying by hundreds and thou
sands. In two towns in Menard County, Su-
gar Grove and Elkhart, it is estimated that ten
thousand have already perished by this myste-
rious disease. In several of the adjoining coun-
ties it has made its appearance in most ma
lignant form. Ii the destruction continues as
it has begun. it will materially affect the price
of pork in the West. 80 +AH l1

IA CURIoUs BooK.-We see it publicly given
out that Mr.. BUCHANAN is preparing to launch
sthunderbolt upon the country before or after his
death, in the shape of history of his own time,
and vindication of his Administration. The
old sinner had better make clean breast of it
by acknowledging that, if not traitor, he
suffered himself to be used by them. and that
his guilt is no less than theirs, though he is
.penitent. Instead of this the Ex- President is
exceedingly wrothy at every fearless comment
upon his past prescriptions and preset penitence
He thinks that il, with single hypocritical
letter, he cannot wipe out his black and bloody
reserd, he will certainly be able to do SO when
His Book makes its appearance; and. in order
to effect this, he is putting forth his fcelers. to
iseeure for him favorable and partial hearing.
Some very tender-hearted people have been
caught by this last trick of the sly old Reynard,
and do not hesitate to hold up their hands in
'fious horror whenever an honest word is utter
ed in exposure or execration of the measures by
Ineass Of which he hurled the Republic into
civil war "He is an old man, they say, "and
ought to be allowed to spend the remainder of
his days in peace;" can indulgent charity
should be extended to him. &C. 1t NAV be
well for these benevolent souls to remember
how many old men he prescribed and persecu-
ted during his administration; how many up.
right and fearless men were crushed under the
heavy hand of his almost imperial power; how
precious blood was made to flow as an oblati, n
q 70 his unmittigated and remorseless despotism;
how he refused to listen to the earnest inroca.
tons of his best and truest friends to stay his
hand and save his country; and how, even down
to within few days Of the close Of his Admin.
tratien, he continued to strike at every one biph
and low. who would rot sing hosanas to HI.
sreachery and his turpitude. Such a Z man n.
this ought to write vindication and to m,to t ,
defence; for it viii require all the Maid elo
quencs of all the paid attorneys and parasites !,
the land to induce the world to forget and H.
couatrymen to forgive the blow he has s,rucl >,
