The Legislature will probably meet at

some steps TO supply the vacancy that will

Inasmuch as our friend Col. Crothers is
to resign, we have suggestion to make to
the good people of Brooke, which we trus
will be favorably received and adopted,
indeed the same idea has not been, as W.

Another Imhuman Outrage.

Editors IntelEgencer In the annals of
Indian warfare, q more barbarous, bastard
w, uucivilized and inhuman record is not
given, than was perpetrated, few days
since, at the residence of Mr.. Milton
Frame, some 90 miles below the county
seat of Braxton county, an inoffensive,
amiabie and piOus citizen, by a banditti of
marauding outlaws, stimulated to overt
acts and deeds of crime by the absence OF
law and order. Going under the name of
'ssecessionists," but really outlaws and
"non descripts' in crime, 4iaey1saFe so far
lost TO the attributes of humanity, that the
names thief ma rdereran assassin are tame
phrases, and not calculated to express their
name or calling.
Mr.. Frames family, the morning of the
outrage, were startled by the report of FIRE
arms, and looking out of the house, found
that they were surrounded by some ten or
fifteen fends in human shape, intent on
murder and plumber. The occupants of
the house Immediately converted the
household furniture into kind of forth
6cnIion. and returned the fire with effect,
till the ussassins drew off, satisfied that the
fortunes of war do not always depend up
on numbers.
Mrs. Frame received painful wound in
tue hand, whilst boldly and heroically SAL
living forth from shelter, to dislodge the
enemy, who had taken up their quarters
behind the cabinet shop, some fifty yards
from the house. That intrepid movement
decided the fortunes of the day. She
charged on them revolver in hand, and
routed them from their cover, capturing
one gun and leaving unmistakaole marks
OF sharp. shooting, demonstrated by their
abrupt departure and the free and copious
| effusion of blood as far as pursued.
We since learn that three of the gang
have been captured by the indomitable
perseverance of the Home Guards of this
county. The others have left for parts un'
| known. w. ID. RELLYsoS'

Cents.
Cost OF com in Lirerpool..

This state of things is producing great
encouragement ut the West, and all
through Illinois and Iowa farmers are re-
solving to turn their attention from grain
growing to stock raising. The result Of
this will be, ultimately, a scarcity of bread
SUITS and an excess of stock. We have
sometimes heard OF corn being used for
fuel, but were slow to credit the reports.
We are now assured, however, by a prom
inent business man of this city, who has
been some time in Iowa, that ear corn is
actually the cheapest fuel to be found
there, and is being used as a substitute tor
wood. AT Clinton, on the Mississippi riv-
er, oats can be purchased in large quanti-
ties at ten cents per bushel. All the hogs
to be had are being fed, in order to dispose
of the surplus grain, but the supply oil
stock is inadequate. This is much better
than a famine, ofcourse; but it is anything

munity of that section, financially consid-
cred It is rather hard living when u
bushel of corn will not buy Il pound of SUI
gar. What is the cause OF this? The
crops have been good. but not superabun-
dunt. There is a heavy foreign demand,
aud prices on the seAboard are not low
Still, farmers IN the West realize little or
nothing for their grain. What is the
cause2 Look at the figures given above.
Ii costs .ffty.tfUe cents to transfer IL bushel
of corn from Central Illinois to New York!
which is one hundred and fifty per cent. more
than it costs to carry it from New York to
Liverpool. 1t was not SO year ago. 1t
has never been so since the introduction
of railroads and canals. Why is it so
now, with all our modern Improvements
screw pr0pelers on our lnkes-steam on
canals and railroads in almost every d.
rection. The Mississippi is closed. That's
the reason The railroads say they can't
do the business, and therefore they put up
prices. So do lake and canal navigators.
This is not the true reason, however, for the
Mississippi has not for some years hoated
Il very large proportion of the property
destined for foreign markets; but the river
competition is out of the way, and managers
of other channels have it in their pow
er to charge exorbitant rates. The mo-
ment this power got within their reach
they grasped it, and now the people are
getting a return for the liberal land grants,
charters, &c, given to railroad companies.
We are told that railroads are compelled to
charge high on Eastward freight, because
there is very little property coming West
ward. Bnt are not the railroads iu man
ner responsible for this2 How long will it
be before Westward business will increase,
while it costs six times US much to get Il
busheI of corn in New York as the produ-
Ger gets for it on the Western prairie p
Can this traffic be improved by impover-
ishing consumers2 The railroads are
making money now but there is future
for them that is not very bright.
