The past year has been one Of peculiar
bourty throughout the Northwest, The
statistics of the years business in this city.
which we published the 1st inst, show the
receipt ~ this place, since the 1st day jan
uary, 1850, of the extraordinary amount Of
over thirty-six millions bushels Of graiu.
Nhe 1arger part Of these Immense receipts,
particularly Of wheat, came in after har.
Test But the crop Of last year is far from
being exhausted. Scarcely any impression
has been nude upon the Immensely large
Yield Of corn, and very large portion Of
the Wheat crop is Jet in the country. 4
gentleman Of our acquaintance, who has
recently passed over much Of the Rock
hlver Valley, tells us that the country Is
tun Of grain One farmer whom lie
visited in ogle county, has nine thousand
bushels Of good sound corn in his cribs;
and various o.hers upon his line
Of travel had cribbed from two thou
sand up to I've thousand bushels.
The holders, for the most part, are out Of
debt, having sold enough Of their whea.
crop and Of beef-cattle and hogs to meet
all their liabilities and leave snug balance
still in their hands for current expenses.
They are, therefore, in no hurry to sell. In
dian corn, when properly secured, will
keep well for years. And it will require
remunerative prices to bring out the full
surplus. that will be on hand at the opening
Of navigation next spring. The recent nd
vance in breadstuf1s at Liverpool, and the
prospect Of considerable European demand
between now and the next harvest, as well
as the known scarcity in tho Southern
States, will induce many of those who are
out Of debt to hold their stocks for better
prices MEANWHILE along the line Of the
Illinois Central Railroad, parties from the
South are buying such parcels as they can
pick up during the winter months, ut prices
satisfactory to the seller. Whether the pres
ent political troubles continue to the point
OF Revolution, or be a1nicably settled, the
demand from that quarter will assuredly
continue; for men must eat, whether loyal
subjects or rebels to the government under
which 3hey live. Upon the whole the
Northwest, and especially Illinois, never
before contained 30 large 4 surplus Of
breadstuffs as now, and there is no reason
for doubling that the whole of it will be
wanted at satisfactory prices.

if necessary, his life would be freely sacrificed
for the sake of his glorious country On that
