LOVE.

Q, if there is one truth above the rest
Written in wisdom
If there is anything that keeps the mind
open to angels visits, and repels
The ministry of ILL It's human lore!
God has made nothing worthy of contempt;
The smallest pebble in the well Of truth
Has its peculiar meaning, and will stand
When men best monuments wear fast away.
The law Of Heaven is lore, and though its name
Had been usurped by passion. and profuned
To its unholy uses through all time,
Still, the eternal principle is pure;
And in those deep affections that we feel
Omnipotent within us, we but see
The lavish measure in which love is given,
And in the yearning tenderness of child
For every bird that sings above its head,
And every creature feeding on the hills,
And every tree and flower and running brook
We see how every thing was made to love,
And how we err, who in world like this
Find anything to hate but human pride.

ARREST OF MASON AND SLIDELL.-There
has been much said and written as to the
legality of the arrest of Messrs. Mason and
Slidell, and as to the right of our Govern
ment to search a British vessel. The New
York Post, in closing lengthy editorial on
the subject, says: nj;
Indeed, Captain Wilkes would have been
justified in seizing the vessel and her cargo
as prize, and sending her in for condemna'
tion. 1t is difficult to conceive how she
could have escaped confscation in an Eng
lish much less in an American court, for the
benefit OF her captors. That he did not deem
it his duty to proceed to this extremity, the
owners and the Government whose laws they
were willfully violating, in aid of most.uu-
natural and 1agitious rebellion, are indebted
to the forbearance and disinterestedness of
Captain Wilkes, and while he will receive
iromhis own Government and his fellow
countrymen the merit of their appreciation
for his gallant conduct, his praise will be
none the less that he discharged the delicate
duty cast upon him without any Stain of
person al interest, and in such manner as
to afford no just cause of offense to great
and powerful nation. ,a-

~ Weare in receipt Of communication from
an intelligent gentleman, in Indiana, In
W Iich he charges thatthe depEhspion in the
price of hogs q the result cf q T1ercantile
Inonopbly; or in'othef words, a combination
of pOrk packers against farmers. Those who
are acquainted with the, historyof the pork
trade ia this city, will regard this as q very
singular charge, inasmuch as the most active
competition has in every year, for the last
twenty winters, carried prices up TO the very
highest that could be tonched with even the
appearance of safety. In all this time, we
are safe In saying that 80 were lost TO the 81
that vas made, Comparatively few have
escaped from the wreck, Some have grown
rich in the trade, through prudence: but for
every on of these, several bankrupts can be
counted. t.
Coming to the present time: Last season
the average price of hogs in this market was
within fraction of Sc. That was pretty
round price, to have been paid under the
operations of Combination" and it proved
a ruinous price, for the average lossOn last
seasons business was not less than fifty per
cent Now packers smarting under their
losses, are naturally cautious. 1t is proper
that they should be so. But there is no COM
biratiOn. Itrequires nothing of this kind to
depress prices. The latter have given way
under the operations Of the laws Of trade.
Hogs are now selling at$3 20. Products are
cOrrespoDdingly low in all the markets
OF the country. No combination here
could bring about this state of things. 1t
would be simply impossible to produce this
result by artificial means. Itis the natural
effect of the laws of trade. If our corre-
spondent can see any way to dispose Of pro-
visions 30 as to get back 50 80 for hogs,
which is the price he thinks they should
bring, he ought to go into the business at
once. So much for the present. Now as to
the future. The condition of the trade may
be thus briefly stated; Should the war
continue a year, hogs at So per one
hundred pounds net might be very dear.
1t IS the opinion of packers that, with a
crop such as can be turned out by the
West, and the high freights that are to
be expected to prevail, so long as river
navigation is closed, Investments at the price
named would be more likely to make q loss
| than a,preft. IT, on the other hand, South.
ern markets should be opened in four Oh
even six months, large profits would be
realized This is precisely the situation
| If feeders are SO disposed, they can take the
war risk. 1t is our impression that farmers
who are capable Of curing meat properly
had better kill and pack their own hogs
They can not, at the worst, lose very heavily
They may realize large profit. Besides
the adoption of this policy would preven
the pressure of heavy supplies of hogs upor
