WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-The Agricultural
Department is preparing seeds seasonable for

The Hog Prospect.

Since the opening of the pork-packing
season of lS71-72, there have been many
speculations as to the number of hogs that
will be slaughtered during the season, as
we'll as the probable ruling prices for live
hogs. .- 3. -e rsTFEE -Ft7 -fr
While Tennessee raises more hogs than
any other Southern State, the variation OF
her crop of the porceline species from one
year to another weighs very light in inf1u-
ence with the general market. We have
to look to the West to learn what may be
expected, as the country at large is depen-
dent upon the West for its supply.
The crop in Tennessee is about equal, it
is estimated, to that of last year, and the
crop of corn, which always affects the
price of pork, will, over the whole State,
fall but little short of that for 1870. Again,
the mast throughout the State is unusually
good, so that the expense of fattening will
not be great. We are informed by reliable
parties that the number of fat hogs for this
year in Tennessee is something less than
that of last year, but, however this may
be, Cincinnati, Chicago and st. Louis con-
troll the price at any rate.-M orristo,cTe Ga

4 Heroic Act.

How a fearful reilFOad accident was pre-
vented is thus told by correspondent Of
the Utica Herald at Richfield, New York,
where the incident happened -Four freight
cars heavily loaded with lumber and mer-
chandize, had been brought up to the
junction near Cassville by a coal train.
These freight cars were carelessly uncoup-
led on a grade of eighty-five feet to the
mile, and Immediately began backing to-
ward L tica, They gained momentum at a
fearful rate, and all efforts to stop them by
throwing rails and other distractions up
on the track were ineffective. y train
had left for Utica but eight minutes before,
and every one was well aware that the
heavy freight cars would in few minutes
go crashing into its rear. Fortunately the
engine of the coal train stood on switch,
and Engineer Terrell at once determined to
give the flying cars a chase All hands
mount to the post of duty, the signal is
given, and the fearful race is begun. mi
There is awful danger ahead, for if the
workman should have the rails up, or the
flying cars themselves should leave the
track, every man would be in eternity in an
instant. Mile after mile the chase is kept
up, and the locomotive gains inch by inch.
At last the fugitives are Overtaken; the
critical moment has come. A mistake,
and all is over; the flying cars will only be
hastened in their flight by the collision.
The fireman aud brakesmans are reaching
down from the rear of the tender, one
with draW-bar and the other with a
coupling-pin, The cars touch; the draw
bar skiIlfully guided, enters the socket,
and the pin drops to It's place! The dan
ger is over, the speed is gradually checked,
and in a few minutes the cars are again
climbing the grade to Cassville. The decd
of the engineer and his faithful assistants

train which was but few hundred feet in
advance of them, and whose lives they
saved at the imminent risk Of their own.

The WaY the Money Goes.

| The following appears in the legislative
proceedings of Monday, which evinces an
irrcgNdrity SO alarming as to call for an
investigation. While the amount in ques-
ton is not so large as that appropriated by
Boss Tweed, it shows that the legal gen.
| tleman named certainly set higher value
on their services than any one else will be
apt to do:
By Mr.. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, After the
payment to the Hon. wv. H. eWisener of
the sum of 81 800 by the State, for legal
services rendered by him in the famous
franchise case, she has a few bonds left ;
and,
WHEREAS, This General Assembly has
learned with feelings of profound satisfac-
ton that the Chancery Court of Nashville
has appropriated bonds of the State hereto
fore attached by said court to the Hons. e.
II. Ewing, w. f. Cooper and w. B. Reese,
AtttOrneys-at-Law for the State in the
causes against the delinquent railroads,
amounting in the aggregate to about ST.
600, therefore, be it
ReSOyued 6Y the General assembly of the
State of Tennessee, That special commit
tee be appointed by the respective Speak
ers to wait on the said attorneys and salts
fy them that if said sum does not fully
compensate them for the services render
ed, that if they, the attorneys, will only,
wait until the State can get more bonds
either from the sale of delinquent railroads
or otherwise, that special donation of the
bonds so secured will be made as fast as
secured. H.re
The resolution was taken up and, on mo-
ton, was referred to the Judiciary Com
mittee, with instructions to report by what
authority the money referred to was paid
to the attorneys named.
By Mr.. McGlothin-Ares resolution reciting
that, as large sums have been paid to E II,
Ewing, w. f. Cooper and w. B. Reese
counsel for the State in the railroad cases,
and that as said sums are largely in excess
of what ought to be reasonable compensa-
ton for their services; that as the law pro-
vides for the payment of the Railroad
Commissioners, Messrs. Mckinney, Fogg
and Wright ) and that as no provision has
been made for the payment of Ex-Governor
Senter, the Secretary of State and the
Comptroller who have sent in their claims,
therefore that joint committee be APP
pointed to ascertain all the facts in the
case, and report the same. 81
The resolution was taken up and referred

has the following: ts''is'' -
He is truly statesman who, in the struggles
between international economies, temporarily
sacrifices prices while fostering the power
which produces values. Napoleon the Great
disregarded the enhanced cost of sugar to
France, whilst he was perfecting her produc-

it would be cheaper for France to buy sugar

See the reward! France produces sugar so

sold on her soil.
