The SomeryiIIc Falcon, in an edito-
rial endorsing Casey Young for re-cIec-
ton, says that 'since the withdrawal
Of Fayette's talented favorite, T. X.
Riddick, Esq, popular sentiment has
turned It's eyes upon Colonel Young
as their next representative. There
would not be Il dissenting voice in the
democracy of Fayettc county to the
nomination Of Col. Young. JUDGED, a
convention for such purpose seems
unnecessary, as he is already nomina-
ted in the heart Of every Democrat
in this county. The Falcon therefore
places before the people of the tenth
congressional district, Hon. Casey
Young, the honest, faithful ana con
sclentious candidate of the Democracy
Of Fayette to represent her in the en-
suing session Of congress, and it will
stimulate Us to give the Democratic
ticket q larger majority than for years
past.

since been considerable animation
among jobbers, especially those hold
ing light stocks. Prices to-day are
very much at sea, unsettled, perhaps,
is a better word. Meal, which yes
terday was a drag at 50 Is per bbl,, is

are fully Ic better. Corn is somewhat
improved; bran is stiff and in demand;
