How many hogs will be cut here during
the season just opened, is matter Of mere
conjecture at present; but during the past
summer there hare been erected in this city
and On its outskirts eight or nine large
houses, and about double that number of
small concerns. The capacity for cutting,
therefore, is neatly doubled, and it is ex-
pccted that there will be cut at least 70O,-
600 during the season. Some even place
the figures as nigh as 100000, but this
amount is looked upon as an exagggeration.
Last season the entire receipts Of hogs
were 74G,GG7, Of which 22s,00o were ship
ped East Nov, there is no reason in tile
world why q single hog, live or dressed,
should be shipped East OF anywhere out Of
Chicago to be packed. Our facilities for
packing here are fully equal to any other
place in tie United States, and there should
be no shipments Of hogs during the pack
Ing season.

this trade by the following table Of receipts

any such unjust, partial and de-
structive legislation as is proposed
by the above extract.


We do not ask that publishers
of newspapers should be relieved
from all share in the burdens Of

they will eheertully pay, a tax on
their printing establishments equal
to the amount of tax assessed upon

What we object to is the double tar
proposed, ed,-proposed, too, by those
who advocate it, not for the pur-
pose Of bringing in revenue to the

the local press, and give the large
city papers monopoly Of the

made until the payment of the tax.
That process would enable the
Government to realize the tax at
once, so that it would not be the
basis OF loan. A tax yielding
a sum equal to 3 per cent. upon
the present State valuations would
yield the Government about $780,

The New Orleans Commercial
Bulletin of the 7th instant has
these admissions:


* "Yet the question
again and again comes back, will
France or England, or both COM
bined, really and practically raise
the blockade? They may, certain
ly. There is no reason, as we look
at the business, why they should
not. And this has been the truth
for more than six months. Yet
the blockade has remained. and
the great port of New Orleans has
been Theoretically sealed to the
commerce Of the world all that
time, and may continue so six
months longer, unless we ourselves
bleak the seal. Here is the pinch
ing point. Shall we permit the
port to remain closed six months
longer without making bold,
vigorous, aye, desperate effort to
open it? We say no, and we be-
lieve this is the voice of almost the
rentife community both in town
and country. Open our port, and
the cotton of the Cotton States
could and would go to England
and France. Nothing, under cir
cumstances of the case, with the
condition of the manufacturing
districts of England, France and
Germany which we know to exist,
and with the known public feeling
in those countries as to the state OF
the American quarrel, could pre-
vent it. Open the port of New
Orleans, then, and cotton moves
With that movement every thing
else would move. Every depart
ment of the Government would
feel a thrill as if an electric spark
had shot through and through it..
The heart OF every man in the
Confederacy would bound. Such
pean would salute the ears of
our enemies as would transfx them
with despair. We do believe the
war would be virtually at an end ;
but if it should not be, if the enemy,
bent upon absolute self-destruction,
should resolve to keep up the stu
pid and malignant attempt to an
noy us, we should have received
such energies through the move
ment of our great staples as would
enable us to carry on the war more
vigorously than ever, and with less
conscious burdens, as long as it
might suit the enemy to wage it."

1t seems that plan is on foot TO
take from Cincinnati all the man
ufactory of all clothing, &C., and
bestow these contracts on New
York, Boston and Philadelphia
Well, this is in conformity to the
growing jealousy of the New Eng
land and Eastern States against
the great North West, and is done
in order to facilitate the Abolition
interests of the East at the expense
of the West. We hope this, added
to many other facts of the same
kind, will the tendency to open the
eyes of the Western people to the
great Importance of arising and
asserting their rights and interests,
ere they are totally troddeH under
foot. The West has now to sell
at one-half the prices formerly re-
ceived, and buy at two prices
solely on account of the war and
the blockade of the Mississippi
River, and the stopping of the
Southern markets. While this is
SO, the East have a good market
at high prices foral they produce,
and are reaping golden harvests by
manufacturing clothing, supplying
the contracts for bread, beef, &c.,
to the army. While the East is
becoming rich by the war and the
blockade, the West is being i'm,
poverished and will soon be crushed
into the dust. How long will the
great West stand this state of
things? The East is making mon
ey out OF the war, while the West
is paying the fiddler, without be-
ing permitted to reap any benefit,
or even to share q tithe of the
contracts.


A public meeting was held in
Cincinnati on the subject, a few
days since, to protest most
strongly against this grand impo-
sition.


Perhaps the next act of seces-
sion will be the West cutting loose
from the East, and establishing
great Western Empire.

The way to spoil a child is to
give it all it wants, and require
nothing in return. cr'he wav to
make a child grow up to be amia-
bic and unselfsh, is to give it little,
and require of it much. For it is
not what others do for us that
benefits US, but what we do for
Ourselves and others. We know
parents whose only study is to
crafty their children, and this they
think is generosity. 1t is not gen
erosity-it is seltishness. To graf
ify child is a keen delight, but to
make it do its duty is often trouble
some. To let it off a lesson costs
q word ; to give it a toy is all affair
of a few cents; to say to it some
fond and flattering word is no
trouble at all. But the moment
you begin to enforce a duty, or
compel faithful performance of a
TASK, you encounter dltticltles; you
have to take trouble and practice
some of the cardinal virtues; you
have to be patient, firm and wise.
The difference between a good pa
rent and bad parent is this a
good parent treats his child in the
way that will be most beneficial to
it when grown up; a bad parent
thinks only of the child's enjoy
ment of to-day.


Who are the generous and pub
lie spirited? Who are the first to
rush to tho defense of an imperiled
country? Who are good and
obliging neighbors 4? Who bestir
themselves for the improvement of
their village or town? Go back
to the early homes of these people,
and you will find they were brought
up to tighten the pareLts' load,
not make it heavier. They learned
self-denial and good sense by being
obliged to perform at least as
much work as they caused. The
boys were hoeing corn, bringing
in wood, and hunting the COWS |;
the gir.s were helping their moth
ers. In this way, they acquired a
certain invaluable esomething which
prevented them from being either
very selfish or very foolish This
something we know not how to
name, but it is the difference be-
tween a person of sense and a fool.

In the True Delta, of the 7th, we have two more precious documents from the petty tyrant who is cutting such fantastic tricks in New Or leans.

 The first is the suppression of the Delta and the Bee for styling the burning of cotton on the part of southern planters an act of patriotism. Butler denounces 1t is vandalism, and the pa pers must so style it or succumb.

 The Delta office has been seized and will her, after be used as the organ of Butler,

 The second order CT decree, intereres with private contracts, declaring that after the 27th of May, Confederate money shall cease to be medium of trade, and that all real estate or property which may be sold for Confederate money after that time, shall be seized, and the proceeds shall accrue to the benefit of the United States.

 This is the protection to private property SC profusely promised. We glad of it, however. We are rejoiced that P:cayune was sent tc govern the southern emporium. He is just the man above all others to teach our people important lessons, which it Is necessary in the working out of the grand scheme Of indepen dence they should learn. He is splendid teacher, and we presume New Orleans has made fine progress in the alphabet of liberty.

Money is ia ective demand at 6 per cent on call

The advance in money does not arise from any
scarcity FOR the bank deposits are far larger than
they ever were; or from any increase in the de-
mand for the volume Of speculation is less than 1t
was month ago. It springs wholly from the ap-
prehensions of lenders with regard to the uncer-
tainties of the future, and a widespread though
vague, notion that in some way or other peace
and, consequently, a stop to the issue Of paper
