WooL-The streets of Dover were lit
erally jammsd on Wednesday, with wool
wagons, and Port Washington, Shanesville
and Uhrichsville, are also thronged with
wool teams. Never before was there such
a wool crop in old Tuscarawas. The
prices range from 70 to 87.-Ohio Demo

There is an immense wool crop in this
county, which is rapidly selling from rs

will thus give away wool, as 80 cents now
is not more than 40 in gold. Every sPe-
cies of wooden goods are three times as
high now .as they were when wool was 40
to SO cents; and in proportion to the rise
lin. every thing else, wool ought to be
81 ,25-and wsuld be, if farmers would
not make such haste to exchange their
wool, which is better than gold, for con-
stantly dsprsciating greenbacEs. Why
they sell at such prices, We can dot i'm

Ell considerable number of improve
n ents, not only on the incident of locks,
sights, bayonet attachments, etc, apple
able alike to either form Of arm, but also
large proportion OF the Improvements
in revolving FIRE arms, which belong es-
sentislly to the class of breech- leaders.
OF the numei Gus Improvements in re-
voiving fire arms patented within the past
year. large portion relate to adaptations
to special forms Of fixed ammunition, or
of primed metallic cartridges. The en-
ployment of chambercd revolving cylin-
ders has practically been almost restrict
ed to pistols but there does not appear
any sufficient reason why method OF
rendering arms repeating-found to be
SO convenient and efllcient-should not
be much more largely extended to mus
kets, or arms with long barrels.
In view OF the very striking advant-
ages presented by breech-loaders in their
great .er ease and safety of loading, and
their rapidity of firing, as well as in the
incre ased facility of handling the arm in
many Strengthened conditions of ambus-
cade, etc, there seems to be every reason
to ex poet that this class of weapons must
befo re long come largely into use in mod
ern ,sarfare, and probably ultimately dis
plac entirely the present system of load
ing ut the muzzle.

Statistics Of Miscegenatior.

The Copperhead leaders have. for the
past few months been continually prating
about the doctrine Of miscegenation.
AmaIramation is to be the result OF eman-
cipation as they allege, and the society
Of the North is to be contaminated with
a revolving admixture Of the black ele-
mcnt as q consequence. Now, an ex-
animation of the matter, shows that 1T is
in the slave States, where almagamation
is practically carried out and adopted
Here are some suggestive statistics
thereupon:
There were 411,613 mulatto slaves in
the South in 1860, of whom 69,9I0 are
in Virginia, 43,2sl in Kentuckey, and
Sc. 900 in Georgia These numbers are
considerably beyond the legitimate pro-
portion of those States. There were
also 116, $50 free nulattoes in the United
States in 1860. of whom loo, no belonged
to the South, and SO. 1863 belonged to the
free States OF the free mulattoes, Nir-
ginia contained 23,4S4, which number,
added to her slave mulattoes, makes a
total of 96, S24 Her mulatto slaves alone
exceeded the total number of mulattoes
in the free States. The whole number
mulattoes slaves and free, in the Union,
in 1860, was 5SS,362, of whom 90 ,969
belonged to the free States, and 3lS,3S
to the slave States-a number greater
than the combined white population of
Arkansas. Delaware and Florida-
greater than the white population of
observation-disclosures twice as great as that
Of South Carolina and twice as great as
the combined populations of Delaware
and Florida The mulatto population Of
Virginia alone exceeds the number of
whites in Delaware and Florida.
