Pork Packing Prospects.

The Louisville Price Current, of tho
9th inst contains the following:
The hog crop, as the pork packing
season approaches, attracts attention, and
the opening or ruling prices of hogs for
slaughter is asked. AS far as our obser-
vations extend, the packers in this sec.
ton have as yet made no offers, have no
stated prico, aud of course, have made no
contracts. Farmers and drovers have
high expectations, assuming that the
crop here and throughout the West will
be short. .a 5..s..- .u.
In Missouri the crop is considered to
be short, but We learn that late feeding
and an abundance of corn will make the
product come nearly up to fair average
in weight of pork and lard. In Iowa and
Wisconsin tho yield is said to promise
fair, and in Illinois full average in
number with an excess in weight In
our own State, Kentucky, and Indiana
and Ohio, the present information calcu-
lates short yield in tho number of hogs
for slaughter, but very material increase
in tho weight, as eompared.with last sea
son. The great surplus Of cora and late
feeding will result in a much heavier
product of pork and lard than was antic-
ipated some time ago. Packers and buy
ers are quietly awaiting the approacnlns
season, evineing NO disposition to con-
tract, and we can hear of no reliable
offers at any price. Tho porkpackipg
here this season is expected to be heavier
than usual, as increased facilities have
been made with an accession of dealers
The city packers will be prepared to
slaughter and pack as many hogs as at
any previous period, In Chicago we
hear that few sales of hogs for fall pack
ing that have been made at 11Wl2c
gross.

'PossuM OIL-Early yesterday morn

Every one OF them got drowned as he

the action of water and the natural

The extent of the pardon business
promises colossal figure for the next
census, if reconstruction is to depend on
Figures. To illustrate the amount f1bu

reau, Washington dispatch relates that
a large rack, twelve feet high and eight
feet wide, has been erected, and this same
rack al poor rebels must undergo. 1t is

-the lead, her pile being over ten feet
high, and containing over three thousand
applications. Alabama follows with a
pile of fifteen hundred, upon which the
dust is accommodating; and 50 on, till We
have = load which only the camel back Of
the pardoning power can bear. There is
no end to the good which may be effect
ed by a judicious system Of pardons,-

reconstruct the Union seem to be already
assumed. Judging from the vigorous vote
with which Alabama has abolished the
admission Of negro testimony in the
courts of Justice The fault of the Par.
don Bureau is that it does too much and
too little. Like the old Roman water
clock. its minute mcrcies drip, drop by
drop; but if the whole rebellion can be
pardoned in this Pickvickian way. let
us expect no deluge hereafter. Pardon.
ing, as it is now managed,i is an easy
task; but it would be hard work if the
Government had it to do over again, es-
pecially as the "piles"' Of Virginia, Ala
bsma and Georgia are now twenty feet
high. SO that the great body of pardon
applications from the whole South can
not be much lower than Bunker Hill

that he exerted himself constantly to stop
