The Pork Trade.

Never, perhaps, in the history of the
Pork business in the Western States, has
The stock Of hogs been ss large as at the
opening Of the present season. In every
portion Of tho West We are told that the
number Of fat hogs ready for the market
far exceeds that Of any former year, and
all acquainted with the trade seem TO re.
gard It as beyond doubt that prices will
rule low. And not only are hogs more
plenty than usual, but as 8 general thing
they are in q better condition than those
regarded by packers as the most desirable
in ordinary years; the farmers at the Vest
having been compelled from the low price
Of corn, and the impossibility Of getting
the enormous quantity on hand out of the
way, to feed it 70 their hogs. This also ne
cessitated early feeding, and the result is
that hogs sent to market are far superior
on an average 10 those Of other seasons,
and the farmers having invested their corn
in pork, will be obliged to realize on their
hogs ct ruling rates.
We we're informed day or two since by
a gentleman who has Travelled extensively
in Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin, that the
stock Of hogs on hand is almost beyond
computadon-st least three times as large
as that Of any former season in the his
tory Of those States. He stated also that
in various localities in the two first named
States corn has not been worth, on an av-
ersge, during the season, more than sir
cents per bushel, and SO great was the sup
ply of this article, that in mid summer the
farmers we're feeding 1t to their hogs with
the intention of forcing the pork upon
Eastern markets for what it would bring
as soon ss the weather became sufficiently
cool 10 admit of shipment Toledo Blade.

FROlI FORTRRss nIONRnR.

FoRTREss MONROE, Deo. 8.
A sharp engagement between the o. s.
gunbOats Hetzel, Seymour, Whitehead,
ShsWsene, and q rebel steamer, supposed
to be the Yorktown, took place yesterday
sbout FIVE miles above Newport News.
The bombsrdment lasted about two hours,
commencing at five O'Clock in the morning.
The rebel steamer kept close to the shore,
where 8 powerful battery assisted it ma
terially, but never venturing within range
of our guns. The engagement was kept
uP.
The engagement was kept up with great
Vigor.
A Gag of truce in charge of Provost Mar
shal Davis went from here this morning to
convey Mr.. Paughborn, Consul for Saxony
to New Orleans, to Norfolk. By that means
we learn that the rebel vessel engaged in the
action yesterday was the steamer Patrick
Henry. The rebels claim that no damage
was done them.

The Cantrabands,

ssoretary Cameron speaks boldly and
toroibly IN his Report upon the Slavery
qusstion, as connected with this war. He
argues with eloarness that cannot be con-
tFosoFtsd, that var is made to subdue the
enemy, and not only he be, but all that be
Possesses and all that can be made to tend
against him in the conflict. Rebels who
are labOring to overthrow the Government
bring upon themselves all the consequences
Of he var, among which is the destruction
Of whatever they may use against that
government The government would be
false 70 national trust that would abstain
from Tie use Of ell efficient means to pre-
ssrEo lis own existence and overcome q
rebslhOus enemy. Hence the principal
power and wealth Of the enemy in our case
being slaves, Il Is the duty and right Of
Government to use them for its own good
There is no reason Why the slaves, which
ara considered as property BY the rebels,
should be exempt from the hazards and
consequences Of rsbellious war. L has
been the boast Of the rebels that they
would desSlate Northern homes and de-
siroy Northern cities. Why then should
ths insurgsnt rebels carry on the warfare
IN peace and security to their own prop.
srsy3
In this argument Secretary Cameron
speaks Of slsves as property, meaning
thereby that they are 50 considered and
used By the rebels, and should therefore be
cOnhsostsd and employed by Government
So far from oOnfsssing by this term to any
acknowledgment Of the right to hold prop
erty in man, he says that Government has
no power to hold slave none to restrain
8 slave Of his liberty, or to exact his ser
vice. It has, however, q right to use the
voluntary service Of slaves, and it as
olssrly the right Of the Government to arm
slaves, when necessary, ss it is to use gun
powder taken from the enemy. The only
question to be discussed is the expediency
Of 60 doing
The Secretary says it may be desirable
and necessary to arm the slaves and use
them in the held. But at any rate, the
treason and rebellion Of their masters has
set them free forever, and no more can
their services be claimed.

A snene IN LouIaKIIIe.

It was little funny to see silly seees-
sionist, with hair q little frosted utter
81 Hurrah for JEFF. Davis p in the entrance
hall Of one Of our hotels to-day. A Chi
cago civilian, who sat close by me, tiekled
me more than the seeessionist. Having
been somewhat accustomed to such imper-
tinent nonsense, the occurrence had no ef-
feet upon me, save to produce q smile of
contempt. But your Chicago man sprang
instantly to his feet and, with olenohed
digits, let the intruding traitor know, If
he said that again he would measure the
length Of q gray headed simpleton on the
hoor. But for his gray hairs he would do
1t anyhow. A Chicago Major near by had
hard work to remain inside Of his skin,
which is none Of the smallest either. He
seemed to wish the fellow as large as Co.
liah, that he might have an excuse to wool
him for the crowds entertainment It was
better IS it was. The Major would only
have added another to the list Of secession
martyrs. Without any of the martyrs
honors, the noisy rebel was hurried off to
iail.
