We are informed that the holders Of large num-
Der Of the I'd issue of the La Crosse and Milwaukee
Laud Grant Bonds refuse TO assent TO the Ian o'
Messrs. Seymour, GaIpen, Vose, and others, ana
have organized and taken measures for the protec-
ton Of their interests, only awaiting the entering oil
Judge Mers decree before commencing legal pro-
oeedipge. We understand also that no decree OF
sale has been made in the State Courts on the Hei
ensein mortgage" nor can there be for long time

difficulties, and the unfortunate bondhoders are EVIL

for all their supplies.
This is an encouraging feature, but lie the natural
result Of the events Of the past Elk months. The
great disbursements Ofthe Government are furnishing
a currency for the West, aud the heavy exports Of
Breadsus offer great inducement for the farmers TO
dispose of their crops.
| The exports Of merchandise since January have
been 100 y cent larger during the year than in the
period Of the prosperous year of 1852 when we
had the largest cotton crop to sell that was ever
known. Already it has reached the aggregate Of
