Will Graip Advance.

We are often asked whether grain will
probably be higher before next harvest.
10 answer this. number of considera-
tions must be taken into accpunt. The
demand for Europe is to be enormous. Il
will require shipments of Three Millions
of Bushels per sceek till harvest to save
them from distress and starvation. France
alone needs sixty-four millions. England
even more. Spain. Belgium and Holland
have all to import this year, which is un.
usual. and the Baltic has less to export
from its great granaries than heret ofore.-
The United States alone can supply this
extraordinary demand.
But while Lake freights have been enor.
mously high this fall. keeping down prices
here. the Rail Roads. which for the next
five months viii have the monopoly of
carrying grain East. have raised their pr;.
ces on freights also; and even at this jn-
creased tariff. will find themselves prbbs.
bly, unable to carry the vast amo,nt that
that will press on them, seeking TO reach
the ocean for shipment. This viii tend 20

The Laporte Herald gives the following
account of the military and criminal expe
rience of Erastus Wheeler. whose CASE
was brought before the Common Pleas
Court Of that county at its recent session
Speaking Of the business Of the Court, the
Herald says:
Among the prominent criminal cases,
and in fact the only one that was very i'm
portant. was that of Erastus Wheeler. OF
st. Joseph county. for assault and battery
and attempt to kill Thomas Ruple. near
Mishawaka about two years ago. At that
time Mr.. Wheeler was charged with COM
mitting the at, and was confined in our
jail until some time during the following
winter, the Jail at South Bend being inse-
cure. His trial was removed from St. Jo-
seph to Marshall county, and took place
there about year a1d half ago. and re-
snlted in his being sentenced to eight
years confinement in the State Prison.
After his entrance into that institution a
new trial was granted him and he was re-
moved back to the Plymouth Jail to await
the sitting sof the Court. In the mean
time he broke Jail. went to Adrian. Michi-

WHAT DOES IT MEAx?-Thc audience
to hear Col Eddy.speak last Friday after
noon was composed Of about eight or ten
Republicans to one Democrat Both in
this town and township there is probably
a smalfeDemocratic majority. and yet in
such community ten Republicans TO one
champion make loyal speech! Is this
not a most significant fact? Every one
can easily interpret it for himself. 1t dem
onstrates the mischief the Democrat has
done ly its lies and Misrepresentation of
the acts of the Government, and the SYM
pathy it has eyinced for the rebels by the
publication of such traitorous speeches %
those of vallandichan.'ss Breckinridge's.
II~ss mere been as many Democrats as Re-
publicans at the meeting Col. Eddy would
hardly have considered it necessary to have
made the remark he did in the outset con-
corning the smallncss Of his audience.-
tie said he had frequently addressed the peo-
pie Of Marshall before npon mere m atters Of
governmental policy, which one Congress
could enact and another repeal without Sc
rIously interrupting the prosperity of the
country, and had always been favored with
large audiences. bus now. when he come to
talk to them about a much more import
ant matter. the duty and necessity of all
standing by the Government. his audience
was comparatively small. We venture to
assert that if vallandigham. Davis. or any
other rebel sympathiser. were to come here
to make speech Corbin's Hall would not
begin to hold the Democrats alone that
would turn out to hear him. and instead OF
Platt and Marcus Amanda(?) Orlando
merely venturine inside the door they
would rush up in front. and sit with their
mouths wide open, swallowing the senti-
ments of the speaker as well as all the flies

The Recent Cavalry Battle in Missouri

Major Wood. of Col Bakers cavalry
regiment. is now in the city for the pur
pose of obtaining some necessary accoutrs
ments for the regiment. He says Major
Gavitt had started for indianapolis previ
ous to the fight in which he lost his life
on the same mission that he himself came
here to accomplish. Major Gavit had
gone some four miles on his journey when,
hearing the sound Of the fight. he turned
and rejoined his Hen--putting himself in
the front along with Capt. Highman. when
the charge was made against the enemy
Major Gavitt had not been on the field fif-
teen minutes when he was killed.
Major Wood says that Col. Baker rode
at the head of his regiment during the
whole of the action The distance travel
ell by the cavalry in making the charge. as
ascertained the day after the battle was
FIVE miles. Our troops have buried over
three hundred dead rebels. and their bod
les are still occasionally found. The ac-
ton of our cavalry is regarded by mill
tary men as, the most brilliant exploit Of
the war.
Msjor Wood says the health Of the cav
airy is generally good. They are badly in
need Of some articles of clothing, which
the Major will procure and take with hin,
on his return. He expects to find his re-

He thinks that because we publish Breck-

others who. at that time had no connec-

sheet. Did not the n, Y. Tribune publish
|Breckinridge's and Vallandigham's speech
es in Congress? Is it more reasonable for
the Democrat to publish them than for the
ITribune?-Densocrat. ~
If the Tr;june were. actuated by the
same motive the Democrat was in publish
ing those speeches it would have been
equally obnoxious to the charge Of treason.
but every one knows that was not the case.
which Is proved by the fact that it also
published the speeches of such loyal Dem
ocrats as Andy Johnson. Joseph Holt, d.
S. Dickinson and many others. which the
Democrat has not nor never will. because
its managers are afraid to let its readers
! see them. No. no, dear neigbor, you can
not plead the example of the 1ritune in
| this instance until you also publish some
of the speeches named-as many at least
as you have OF the opposite character.--
We did not require you to publish oil the
speeches Of Holt. Dickinson and Wright.
and the fact that you assert in substance
that we did only proves how readily you
can resort to lie to excuse your omissions
of duty as loyal editor. We alluded to
your neglect to publish certain other arti-
cles. because all the loyal papers in the
State, so far as we know. published them.
and because it is customary to publish all
official documents when not too lengthy,
especially when we sympathise with the
objects. But, you say you did publish the
liable and patriotic speech of JOS E. Nc
Donald" Would you have published it
had it not been for the argument it con-
tanned in favor Of maintaining the organi-
zation of the Democratic party? You
may think you are patriot. but if SO, it
only proves how badly party prejudice can
blind some poor mortals. The only pos
sible way we can make half patriot out
Of you is to suppose that you view things
entirely through party spectacle and re-
gard the success of your party of more con
tsequence than the preservation Of the gov
ernment.. This is the most favorable view
that can be taken Of your case, and eveu

patriotism is entirely smolhered out oy
