Pork.

Some people arc talking about Sl2 q
hundred for pork. Are the people crazy,
or are they determiped to eat each other
up? Hog statistics show that we have a
superabundance of hogs in the South
and corn is abundant and cheap. There
is no honest reason why the extortionist
even, should demand over IS. Eight
dollars will pay the farmer handsomely,
aud he who wants to live and let live
who studies how LITTLE he can afford to
take instead of how MUCH he can make
the buyer pay, can afford it at 81. mo
log" is the cry of the pork feecer. Not
so, sir; hogs are plenty--you only want to
get as much again for your meat as pa.
triotic philanthropist ought to ask
Isn't it SO? You kaow it is. How do you
expect poor people to live? So you SWIM,
do yon care how many SINK? Not yon!--

Northern Lamentations.

One of our northern exchanges indulges
in the following expressions over the re-
suit Of the battle of Belmont
There has been more miserable mis-
management. The battle at Belmont,
though called by Gen. Grant who comman-
ded the expedition victory" was in eff.
feet severe repulse. and deranges plan
for taking New Madrid and Columbus. 1t
seems that three expeditions set out
one from Paduca, one from Cairo, and one
from commerce, Missouri. The return
ofthe Cairo expedition would seem 10 rem
der the failure Of the Others certain. We
refer for particulars to the detailed ac-
counts published elsewhere. The pith of
the matter is as follows: Our generals at
Cairo, concluded that the heavy rebel
forces on the Mississippi had heen mostly
withdrawn, to reinforce Gen. Buckner on
the one hand. and Price on the other.
The secret of the expedition was not we'll
kept. 1t was gabbod about Cairo for sew
eral days, and the enemy hearing all a
ly drew our troops into an ambush.
They fought well. Tho thing wanting was
generalship. There is one story that the
rebel reinforcement from Columbus cross
ed above Belmont, and got between our
troops and the river. This can hardly be
true. The rebel forces must have.crossed
below the scene of the fight, and made
the attempt to get in between our troops
and their boats. They were nearly sue
cessful in this, and the only wonder is
that the entire Federal expedition did
fall into their hands. The gunboats
could not prevent tho rebels crossing be.
low Columbus, as they could not pass the
batteries at town, but they rendered SER
vice Of the utmost importance in covering
the retreat of our forces.

On Thursday last information was re-

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher.

The New York correspondent of the
Phi.apelphia Inquirer says;
81 learn from some of Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher's friends that the eminent
divine purposes to sail for England in the
course of a few weeks. for the purpose
of delivering series of discourses in Lon
don, Liverpool, Glasgow, and other cities
in Great Britain. on the origin and pro-
gress OF the American war, in the hope
of imparting to John Bull such ideas of
the struggle as will be likely to restrain
him from bestowing his sympathies on re-
bells"
If Beecher had left the country ten
years ago, and stayed in Europe, it would
have been most fortunate. No one has
done more than he to bring our calamities
upon us. If he can do anything in Europe
for our cause, it will be but Slight atone

bring about Cincinnati Enquirer.

The Virginia Salt Trade.

We see it stated that the superinten-
dent of the Southside railroad. at Peters.
burg, has given notice that the company
has made arrangements with the Virginia
and Tennessee railroad, by which salt can
be procured from the salt works III West
ern Virginia, and delivered in Petersburg
at fair rates. The conditions upon which
the salt will be sent fo$ by the Peters
burg company are. that spectators must
have nothing to do with it. and the party
or parties bespeaking train Of cars must
have $500 bushels ready to los.d at the
works. and hands to load it. The charge
per hundred weight from the works to
Petersburg, will be 6j cents. The South
side road connects with the Virginia and
Tennessee road at Lynchburg. The means
Of transportation are ample, and should
be used to their utmost extent, in order
to facilitate the procurement ola sufficient
supply. There is no necessity for the
continuance Of the present extortionate
prices, and they need not be submitted
