We clip the following items from the Repa6liea.
Of the sth:
Beef Cattle-Sales Of cattle were made to day
ct prices ranging from IS 80 for rough oxen to
IS IS for good shipping steers Last Monday
prices ranged from - 50 to as per leo Ibs.
The cattle market was exceedingly duh to- day
There Was few in the market About 200 head
were shipped east, this morning, on owners &C
count. There 80 little done because there was
nothing to do with, that We have nothing to say
concerning the market, except to assert that We
have not seen it 50 deserted and desolate during
eur experience . reporter.
Hogs-Sales Of hogs were made TO- day at prices
Monday prices ranged from 50 so to 10 80 per
zoe ibs.
One or two packers took few hogs this morn
ing, few were taken by shippers, and the balance
sold were bought by spectators, who hold them
here for raising market. At Sherman's yards
there are about 500 hogs unsold. At the Michi-
gan Southern yards there ere no hogs, we think,
in Arst hands. At the Rittsburg and Fort Wayne
yards there very few If any left There was
scarcely enough doing to day to develop the tone
Of the market or tho views Of buyers. Light re-
ceipts arc predicted and improved prices before
the week is out. There are some who believe there
10 short crop of hogs, while men who have
Travelled through the country, observing closely,
believe the cold weather will bring to this market
large numbers Of hogs. There is 20 much conflict
In the expressions of opinion and assertions Of
fact, that We confess We are scarcely decided in
our opinion. We believe, however, thatlthe light
receipts thus far this season. are due rather 70 the
great plenty and cheapncss Of feed and u the ex-
celeAt season for manufacturing II into pork than
to any serious deficiency in the hog prodhct.

eournnE htaity, : pssssatioss ssfoonacs
and fsllAcious political scoaony th1t -
impoverished the South, are wen illustrdSed
by & Planter" . correspondsnt d the Mem
phis Bxuetis. he urges ~ planters to re-
tain possession ef their entire estates. He
urges three reasons for this policy. First,
that the land cannot be sold Ct its value. Sec.
ond, that Tin Ill the elements Of great aud
exalted national character the people Of the
South are without superior, if not without
an equal Hence he doesn't look with favor
upon the immigration Of foreign mudsills. I"
Herein he does not seem to be complimentary
to his Southern brethren.
"My mind is clear, that the relinquishment
of their lands by their present owners would
be followed BY their impoverishment and de-
graduation, and their gradual absorption into
the mass of foreign immigrants, who will
flock to this country - they have to the North.
1t needs no discussion to prove that our race
will not be improved by any amalgamstion. "
Thus Planter The chivalry evidently
have little faith in the substantially Of their
own claims to superiority. They fear TO be
brought in competition with foreigners or ne
groes-a fear, the reason of which. we will be
generous, and not seek, lest We should seem
to impngn Southern manhood and intelli-
gence.
In the third place, "Planter says:
"My third and most important reason of
all is, that if the Southern people continue to
hold their lands, a. ct present divided, or
nearly so, they will retain the political con.
troll Of their country, and if they relinquish
that untold evils will follow"
1t might be well, it should seem, that the
rule Of the dominant political class whose
passion and short -sightedness entailed the
miseries Of secession upon the South, should
terminate, and the Knights of the Lash give
place to more loyal and judicious leaders.
Not 90 deems "Planter" Alarmed at the
prospect of the scepter departing from Ju-
dab, he counsels the property holders to re-
tain possession of their estates; better have
uncultivated acres and general poverty than
lose an authority that has been abused unto
the ruin of people.

For few minutes the police were comnletelv
