The weather was pleasant portion of the
week, but heavy rain fell Sunday night, and
during the greater portion of Monday. The tenn
perature has been more favorable for vegetation.
The war excitement continues TO engross the at
tention of ALL TO the exclusion of other subjects,
to greater or less extent. A very pcrccptible
progress has been made BY the Government,
within the past week, toward the grand object in
view. Maryland is completely under the
control of the Government, and the same may he
said of Missouri, and the indications that
Kentucky will be secured against secession infu-
ence within the next week two. The ports OF
the Southern States have been blockaded and
communication with them by inland routes pretty
well cut off There seems to be no doubt that
Eastern Virginia will be the scene Of the great
conflict, which seems to be now near at hand.
and all are looking with intense anxiety for the
result.
Business i'm most departments continues dull,
without marked change in prices OF any article.

Beef cattle have been in better supply. and the
market ruled shade easier, 50 IS being an out
side rate for choice beeves. Hogs very dull and
the demand quite limited at S3@3 so gross The
distillers are to some extent, slaughteriDg their
hogs, and having them icecured on their own
account, in consequence of their anxiety TO fur

bought to some extent at the close at $l6. There
is really no demand, and the necessities Of hold
ers only would compel them TO sell at this rate
There was some little inquiry for lard at q zc
