Hogs and their Products.

- The Cincinnati Price Current of Dec.
10 prints preliminary report Of the num-
Der of hogs packed at 100 points in the
West, outside of the six larger packing
points, up to about the middle Of this
month, with estimates made by reliable
parties in the places named of the total
packing for the season, compared with totals
for last year. These 100 points have packed,
in round numbers, Co., 900 hogs to dates of
reports, 18th to 18th inst, against about
$4,000 at corresponding time last year.
The estimates for the season at these points
aggregate $1,000 against the total packing
of 100000 last season, showing an estimated
deficiency of 10000 head.
The approximate packing at the principal
packing points at the West up to the latest
mail dates, and estimated since, compares
with corresponding dates last year and total
packing winter season of 1S72-73 as fol-
lows:

scarcely vestige behind. But this
truth should not afford encouragement
to that wicked spirit of personal abuse
that has characterized too many OF
the political organs during the late
contest. If there be one circumstance
in the history of the Gubernatorial
struggle that calls for peculiar repre-
hension, it is that shameful disregard
for the value OF personal character,
| that has polluted the columns of many
| of our partisan newspapers. The in
evilaIle tendency of such unmeasured
and reckless abuse of the abest and
oest men in our State, (of which the
lunwarraHted attack on the unpolluted
character of Gov Edward @Noyes is
an instance) is to degrade our State
character in the Nation, and to con
vert the press, which, in the hands of
virtue and integrity, is as a vigilant
watchman on the tower of freedom,
into corrupt and venal panderer, fit
! only to cater to the ambition Of some
aspiring demagogues. AS citizens Of
Ohio, we have much cause for thank
fulncss to our Creator. We have en-
ijoyed a degree Of prosperity seldom
1 equalled, and never surpassed. 1t is
| within the recollection of many now
living, when our fields then towering
forests, the Indian war whoop gave
aideons cadence to the orgies of saw
age vengeance. The unwavering devo-
ton Of our State to the great interests
of internal improvements and domes
tic industry, may be assigned as anoth =
er reason, that in her prog ress in
wealth, population, and relative i'm
portance, size has kept on 1.-THE even
tenor of her way"-and has reached
her present aggrandizement. When
we come still nearer home in our re
view, the prospect is still more cheer
ing. Here, had yoUr correspondent
much fancy to be exert, he N ight reve
in all the luxury of unrestrained in
diligence. Cincinnati has partaker
largely of prosperity, and she is push
ing forward to still higher distinction
A more liberal and refined taste has
been displayed in the style of her i'm
; tprovements. Within her limits have
been erected many monuments of no
bic enterprise. She has been peculiarly
exempted from the ravages OF disease
1t behQoves Us then, to remember will
a spirit of benerolence those in attic
tion-to be cheerful in all the multi
a piled relations of life-and to return
our devout thanks TO that exalted
Power, from whom we derive all secu
lar End spiritual blessings.
