Messrs. Weed and Dougherty returned
on Saturday last from st. Louis and visit to
Benton Barracks on Thanksgiving Day. They
report our boys Of the 18th in good spirits
and all we'll, except Jasper Williams, who was
quite sick with typhoid fever. There were
about $4,000 troops At Benton Barracks, in
GLIDING the I'd, Sd, 7th, 18th and 18th Iowa
regiments.
To FARMERs.-The principal packing hous-
es only advertise for live hogs. Our farmers
would find it for their interest, this season, to
bring their hogs in alive, to be sure of n sale
at the highest price. We give this timely
notice, thinking it of importance that our
farmers may be fully posted on the matter
If our packers decline buying dressed hogs,
(Which are generally frozen-which increases
the risk and insurance) the market must rule
much lower than is desirable.
A New TRIAL.-The young man, Geo
Caruthers, who was arrested in this city some
time since as supposed horse thief, and was
taken to Jefferson county to answer to a
charge of robbery, was found guilty at the
last term of court in that county. A motion
for new trial was put in by his counsel
which was granted. Recent developments go
to show that the horse he had in possession
while here was his own property, and had
not been stolen as was suspected.
MITTBNs FOR THE SoLDIERs.-The Daven-
port Cattle, of Tuesday, says the soldiers
at Camp McClcllen arc very much in need
Of good, comfortable mittens The Gazette
appeals 10 the ladies of Davenport and Scott
county, to furnish the troops with the neces-
sary articles. Muscatine has a company at
Camp McOlellen. Cannot our patriotic la.
dies devise some means whereby our "boys"
can be supplied. Our volunteers certainly
shoald not be dependent on the charity o
strangers FIR articles that can be so easily
furnished as al few pairs Of mittcns.
PORK PAcKING-S. 0. Butler will COM
mence packing at his establishment to-day,
and will continue operations during the rest
of the season. AS We have stated before,
there is an immense amount Of pork in the
country which will have to be got rid of this
winter. Low prices now rule, AMI there is
not much prospect of improvement Unfor-
tunately, pork Is an article that cannot be
kept over by the farmers, and they will be
obliged to dispose of it to the best possible
advantage.
Low PRIcBs.- The low prices for produce
and the high prices for coffee and sugar, cause
great deal of grumbling among our friends
| in the rural districts. An old farmer of our
acquaintance recently bought load Of corn
to market and invested the proceeds in the
articles mentioned above. lie declares he was
able to put the whole of his purchases into
his two coat pockets. We expect he stretch
cd the story little, but there is no disputing

AN lTlNERANT FOR THE MEs.-The Gen.
tral Christian Advocate thus refers to q
member Of that Conference
Br. Ing Of the Missouri Conference, in
his full stature Of some six feet six, ccme to
our office in bis regimentals, and looked as if
he could leap over "a wall and run through
troop with perfect ease When the United
States army came to Rolla, he was relieved
from the threats and murderous assaults Of the
rebels, who prepared their galows on which
to hang him. On another occasion he had
narrow escape indeed /; but the Lord delivered
him. The commander at Rolla, having
learned his character, gave him charge of
scouting party, with which to prevent the
Union men from being molested and to take
leading secessioniss prisoners. He perform
cd his duties 80 we'll that he was authoriE d
to raise company Of cavalry. He succeed-
ed IN this, and his company OF some CO. to be
further Incl eased, got their uniforms and ac-
coutrements in St. Louis few days ago.
This will form an important specimen Of the
cavalry that will be necessary to bring peace
to Missouri. Mr.. Ing, therefore, goes into
the army as captain OF his company But as
soon as the war is over be will at once recon-
meuce his ministerial work in Missouri, and
devote himself to the ministry Of the church,
having furnished the necessary ministry torthe
state. He will then put up the sword into
the sheath, and his horse will be employed to
serve him in his religious work, Us he served
him in the battle.f field

exu'tation in the Southern newspapers, this
Spring, as to the havoc which the Southern

Home Papers.

1t is for the interest Of our State to give ;
literal support to their own papers. We dc
not wish to be understood to hint by this, that
we are never to patronize a city paper, bu
we should not patronize foreign paper te
the neglect of the home organ. IF all were
to do this, our country papers would be oblig
ed to suspend, and in this case, the city pa.
perS would lose a large portion of their inter
est, for they are obliged to depend to great
extent upon country papers for the news from
the sections where they are published. Ma.
ny persons are able and willing to patronize
both the local and city papers, but those who
are Indifferent to the success of the local
press, and give their influence and means to
sustain the foreign papers are discarding one
Of the essential means of their own prosperi.
ty. If ether statc and local interests were to
be neglected in the same way, the country
would soou be impoverished in many depart
mcnts, that now serve greatly to augment its
present prosperity.
We justly feel an interest in the prowess
and efficiency of our Vermont soldiers, who
have gone to share the tolls and periIs of our
national Defence We expect they will dc
their duty, and not tarnish the reputation
earned by the Green Mountain Boys in
other days OF our history. This interest in
the reputation of the State is not only ma
tural, but commenGabIe. 1t has a close con
nection with that honest patriotism which i!
peculiarly valuable in these days o! treason
but it should not be confined to our military
operations merely, but should embrace oul
morality, literature intelligence and industry
AS citizens Of Vermont we should be inter.
ested in every department connected with hel
fame and prosperity.
We are told that our Vermont boys who
90 from us, appreciate the sentiment C. THAT
blessings brighten as they take their flight,
and that distance lends an cnchautment tc
scenes they have left behind them.
One Of our soldiers writing from the seat
OF war says: -
{" Send me your paper. We have plenty
Of New York and Boston papers, but ole ol
your papers does nc more good than all the
papers printed in Boston,"
We are confident that any effort made by
the friends of our absent soldiers, to supply
them with Vermont papers, will be highly
appreciated by them. The friends Of the
Messenger, by making an effort it this direc.
ton, can do something to aid in sustaining
the paper, aud at the same time be supplying
valuable reading for those in our army who
will have the leisure and desire to improve it,

DANClNG.-Dr. Thompson, in ao0,0 notes
Of his tour West. says Of visit to the IN
sane Asylum, Columbus, O.. We attended
dance in the Asylum, the first we have seen
since We were manager Of 4h OF July bali,
some thirty-one years ago, and had such Z
heavy bill to pay the fiddler. We were musk,
pleased with this performance, which DR..
Hills manages better than we could The
music was good, and the dancing, if we. are t..
competent judge, quite respectable, except
that Of an old gentleman in o blue iackot,
who was little too muck excited We
would that all dancing could be confined to.
lunatic asy!ums, where it is very appropri.
ate. Mr.. Spurgeon, however thinks il may
be advantageously practiccd b. other ;nan
lunatics, but under three conditions; namely.
that it be done in the open air, by DAYLIGHT,
the women dancing in one field and the uea
in another. How mankind will peryert
things Cards were invented for benevo.
lent purpose-to amuSe crazy king-yet
wicked rascals have used them to make sane
