On the Future Prices OF Hogs.

From the Cincinnati Price current, 9Th
Hogs are in good demand at $500 to $3.50
gross The supply is fair. Packers, resident
and from abroad, are now seriously thinking
of the coming crop, ana cogitating upon prices.
The foreign demand will be the controlling
regulator of the market, beyond doubt, and
there is no doubt that large demand will ex
ist from abroad at prices equiyalentto those Of
last year, which, by adding the difference in
sterling exchange, would be close on 10 $500,
and as matters now stand, there is little doubt
that prices will open at or over this race. 1t is
true that if gold and sterling will DO should
the war take decidedly favorable turn in fay
or of the Union army, it would change the
case very decidedly; but no matter what may
be the result in this way, at as low prices as
those Of last year, an immense amount of the
PORK OF the coming season will go TO England
and the continent. Sales of about 1900 hogs
were made during the week at s 90 net, to be
delivered in the fore part Of November. which
would indicate q strong feeling on the part Of
packers

From Chicago TO Sacramento.

The Omaha Republican relates a fact
of teleyraphing direct from Chicago to
Sacramento, distance of 2,34O miles,
worth repeating. The regular report OF
the associated press of California was be-
ing transmitted, and the editor of the
Republican happened to be in the Omaha
office when the report was passing
through. He says:
AS an evidence Of the facility with
which business was done between two
offices at this immense distance, we state
the fact that at the conclusion of one
portion Of the report, the following con
versation between the operators at Sacra
mento and Chicago, actually occurred
occupying perhaps less than one minute
of time.
Operator, Sacramento =" Hold on til
| light my pipe"
ChicGgo-" II
Sacramento-(Half a minute after
wards }" All right-go ahead"
And Chicago proceeded to the con
clusion Of the report.
A few years ago it was thought to b.
impracticable to send message (withou
being rewritten more than one fourtl
of this distance but the introduction O
Hicks repeater has dissipated this ide;
entirely. Between Chicago and Sacra
mento there are three repeating Offices
one at Omaha, one at Laramie and one
at Salt Lake City. In passing between
Chicago and Sacramento the messag,
goes through these repeaters, and by
them the force Of the batteries at each 0
the points named is impaired, and thus
the necessity OF re writing is obyiated

LIES SECOND MoRNING-We have
met with few more beautiful lines than
the following, from the pen Of Mrs Bar
BAUD. The poet Rogers in his later
years, was accustomed to repeat them
with great pathos. They were written
by Mrs. Barbauld in her old ago:
+" Life we've been long together,
Through pleasant and through cloudy weather;
IT'S hard to part when friends are dear
Perhaps twill cost a sigh or tear;
Then steal away, give little warning,
Choose thine own time
Say not good night but in some happier cline
Bid me good morning"

The ECoNTRABANDs.--Now tha the Gather
is growing cool, the question naturally arises,
what is to become of the numerous contra
bands in Washington and vicinity this win.
ter? Will the poor wretches be permitted
to starve or freezs to death, or will the Gov
ernment undertake to support and provide
for them? Their present condition: even
before cold we ather has set in. is miserable
an ahject in the extreme. What is like.
ly to be couple Of months hence 1t is not
d fficut 10 imagine. Hundreds of he con-
trabands here have had already, quite en-
ough of liberty and Abolition philanthropy.
They would gladly return now to their
masters and mistresses, but they hays no
power to do so. and. indeed, are not permitted
any opportunity to carry such desire into sf-
feet. This morning stout negro rugged up
in cast off army clothing, came to . door
whore was standing and entreated to be
given job'-anything by which he could
earn meal of victuals. questioned this
m an and found he was from Fredericksburg,
having belonged toa well known lady of thst
town. Jerry (the negro) had for several
years hired his time from his mistress, and
was getting along very we'll as caterer. In
an evil hour he determined to turn contra
band.' and came to Washington. bringing .
hundred dollars in silver, his savings. This
hard earned money is now all gone, and
Jerry himself, sadly out at elboys and toes.
humbly begs little employment at saving
wood to postpone starvation. He Is very rs.
pentant and anxious to go home bat. so-
cording to his own statement, is not allowed
to do so. He may rot among the phillan-
tho pic Abolitonists, but can not be permit
ted to return to slavery" This is one in
stance out of many which have fallen under
my observation, and of thousands which un-
doubtedly exist in this city. What have
the Abolition fanatics to say to iti Whas
remedy do they expect others to apply?-
