The Hog Crop.

Our Western exchanges note the fact
that the Pork market opened with more
than usual vigor-thc number disposed
of in one day named being fl 900. There
is a good deal of speculation as to the
probable length of the season, some of
the packers figuring that it will extend
to the 1st of January. The Chicago
Times says:
"We are inclined TO think that the latter
will prove correct. The corn crop turned out
much better than was expected, and the in
crease in the number of hogs throughout the
West, some points excepted, will he found to
be larger than many anticipate. On the Ohio
it is thought that there will be falling off in
the packing; but during the past few days
there has been Il marked increase in the rc.
ccipt of hogs ut both Cincinnati and Louisvill G
and the indications are that the decrease will
be slight. The country west of the Mississippi
is full of young hogs, and though the farmers
along the line Of railroads will market thcil
corn rather than feed it to the swine, those who
are not accessible to market will be compelled
to realize by feeding, as the hogs can be mar.
kctcd to better advantage than the corn. A
good many hogs are now arriving from Iowa
and the quality shows some Improvement Us
compared with those received week or ten
days ago. The market fer the product is gen.
orally quite dull, and there are no evidences
of strength anywhere. The exporters would
buy English meats at lower figures than til,
packers are willing to take. No Southern de.
mand has yet sprung up for side meats, and
there is no inquiry for mess pork, except fol
small lots for the numbering country. Some
speculative transactions have been made, but
within the last two or three days comparative.
| ly little business has been done. In Il word
| the market is weak, and every thing points to
| Il lower range of prices"

Trouble in Mississippi.

Tho following comes through the
Memphis Araldnche of the 9th ultimo,
which we transfer to our columns with
the remark, that the main fault is not
with the dcluded blacks, but should be
charged, where il properly belongs, to
the INSCRIPTIONS and reckless creatures
who, to promote their own vile and
wicked ends, are leading, or pushing,
their victims into trouble:
"For some time great deal of dis
satisfaction has existed among the freed
men in the ncighborhood of Columbus,
Mississippi. They had quit work, and
left the fields white with cotton, and
would not pluck n boil, the reason
given for such action being that their
share of the crop would not pay their
expenses for the year, owing to the tax
on the staple, and the low price to which
it had fallen. AS soon rs they refused
to work as q mattcr of colrgp thew had
to leave the plantations, and give up
their houses to those who would work.
They then took to the woods, and COM
mcnced system of indiscriminate pill
fcring and stock killing. About two
hundred of them have been assembled
i'll the ncighborhood of Columbus, Mis-
sissippi, since the beginning of the cleo
ton, and had become a perfect nuisance
and terror to the ncighborhood. AT the
request of the citizens company of
United States troops had been stationed
at Columbus, for the protection of the
lives and property of the people. When
this band Of vagabondized negroes had
exhausted the country of everything
which was stcalablc, they determined
to make u raid upon the town in full
force. They were all armed, and, pro-
curing fife and drum, they marched
into the town, demanding bread. Not
one Of them asked for work; they did
not want that. Bread was all the cry,
and they were about commencing an
indiscriminatc robbery when the United
States troops appeared on the ground
and disarmcd them first, and then dis
pcrsed them. The ringleaders were
taken into custody. What scene of
bloodshcd and robbery we would have
had TO relate, had ii not been for the for
tunate presence of the troops, we shud-
der to think of. This is the first attempt
at bread riot which has ever occurred
i'll the South, but how long it will be I'M
til they become common it takes no far
seeing prophet to tell"
The Memphis paper adds, that the
negroes all through the country are be-
coming thoroughly demoralizcd under
the teaching of Radicals, who counsel
and incite them at every fence corner,
to their own destruction, and appre-
hends scenes Of violence and bloodshed
at 10 distant day unless prompt and en-
ergetic measures are adopted to arrest
the mischief makers in their wicked and
dcvilish work.

President johnson.

The Nashville Union mil Dispatch,
noticing some illiberal and gratuitous
structures upon President johnson, by
parties who would be moro appropri-
ately employed in strengthening him
and holding up his hands, says:
Mr.. johnson may not be the candi-
date of the Democratic party for the
Presidency, and we do not know that
he desires to be, nor personally do we
care; but if he has any such ambition,
that political calculation for the next
twelve months which does not reckon
him as u positive quantity, may wofully
miscarry; and some people who esteem
themselves very wise in such matters,
and of great authority as law-givcrs in
the Democratic temple. may find them
selves mistaken. We do not champion
all his acts Of omission and commission
for the past six years, nor step forward
as his special defender; but we do re-
gard him as cntitlgh to the grateful os-
tccm of every trud Democrat, and hold
that he should be exempt from the fifth
rib stabs of those who should appre-
ciatc his noble services in behalf Of con-
stitutional liberty; and. that in the
arduous task now before him, he should
be able to lean with confidence on the
great Democratic party for all the moral
support it can afford.
