The average crop is thirty seven bushels to an acre. Among its uses the following are mentioned : e. It is in changing it$ form into meats and liquors, and finding a mat Ivet among the labor ers of our own country, that the fanner of the 1 . grea* Central Wist fi'.ds both a Dnnket and a profit for tiis Indian corn. One of the principal changes made iV in feeding it to hogs, ^Uiieb, after fattening, are converted into pcik. There are not less than five hundred thousand t (500.000) hogs fattened annually in Ohio, j w hich consume in the fattening process about 2 eiiiht milllions of bushels, of corn. As there fc are f?>nr times that number of hogs mid pigs k in the State, it is qni'e probable that as much b- more corn is consumed in wintering these. ; f. There are also manufactured i? ihi< State ! p about four hundred thodsabd barrels of Wilis- j t key. From the single port of Cincinnati tliere ure aunnaliy exported from two hundred and fifty to three hundred thousand barrels of whiskey, enough to (ill a harbor sufficient to float a fleet of ships ! - Thewhi-lte) manufacture probably consumes twelve millions of bushels of corn ; and it ; one would learn one of the groat frauds de, vised to perpetuate evj] upon earth, let liiin J know that this whiskey is largely used for the manufacture of the falsely called wine, brandies, gins, and other liquors which appear on j the tallies of hotels, piivate gentlem? 11, dee., to feed the vulgar appetites of the " better class," E. trfeo look with couteuipt upon the bald vfhisf key of the laborer. After these great conI sumers of Indian eorn?the hog and the whis |r key maker?we. have all tbe fatted cattle to !feed, which will probably consume three millions #f bushels mm?. Then we have the stock cattle aud tlie horses t?> winter, and the domestic consumption. With all these uses , for it, our sixty millions of Indian corn in Ohio r i* not too much. Wo have use for the whole i of it J and in proof of it, we know that in sea-sons wiioo the crop is short the price of corn doubles, and many .farmers find' themselves -?6ort of a supply.

The majority of the northerners enter- ! tain no such unjust opinions respecting the J : citizens of the South. 1 hat a minority believes i I ail that Mrs. St owe, Douglass, and other abo | ' litiuilists have said, we do not deny. Neither j do we deny that the minoiity in question, by | making a great noise, induced many to believe ; tiiein more numerous than they are; for like grasshoppers in Burke's celebrated similie, i'they fill the liclJ wi.lt their importunate clamor.'" We would be sorry to do injustice to the? North; and as .the Bulletin is aware, the article, which he comments on was to suggest that the jieople of the North should increase their intercommunication with us?to come among us and investigate and examine for themselves, and not feed their prejudices by reading and believing anti-slavery writers and lecturers. But. what are the facts in relation to this matter? Within the limits of Pennsylvania a Southern citizen lias b.-en murdered when at tempting to recover his slave, and other instances have occurred, which do not sustain the Bulletin In its assertion that the people of the North "admit ihe binding force of the clause in the Constitution which provides for the return of fugitive slaves." It will not do for that paper to give credit to the people of the North for die passage of the fugitive slave law ; for if that said clause in the Constitution had been recognised as binding, there was no necessity for this firth wheel for the omnibus bill. Had the North boen li-uc And loyal to this provision, it is evident that no fugitive slave law would ever "have been thought of. We are sustained, then, in the position .that it was '"the general sentiment of the North'* against the institution which demanded this enactment, instead of that sentiment being in favor of either the law of the. section of the Constitution which it is intended j to make more effective and binding. Tire columns of the Bulletin next day sho-vv J that, in its attempt to screen tin: people of J the North from the accusation we made, it did not speak the voice of its own community. A. correspondent replies to its article and says; ' Permit me to say there is no use in attempting to disguise the fact that the great mass of I the people in the free States hate slavery with ! a deep and growing intensity. All intelligent people at the-South know this perfectly well. .They arc nftt misled by representing abolitionists a3 "grasshoppers that All the field with their importunate clamor.' Rabid abolitionism, I admit, is at a large discount. ' But there never was a time when a strong anti slavery sentiment was as powerful and pervading as at present." We .have* been inclined to think for some ' time past, and were pleased in the belief that j public sentiment had undergone some change j on this point; but we have still, evitlgucjasof a i determination to keep up the*agitation, despite j the threatened evils of sectional animosity and ! even disunion, which have more than once impended over the country in consequence of it. A northern writer on the'Liberties of America' assails the institution, and denounces it as a curse. The correspondent of the Bulletin insists that the anti slavery sentiment never was so powerful, and pervading as at present. But a few days since we received u petition, which we perceive is being generally circulated, pray ing Congress to make appropriations for email cipation, and we have no doubt these petitions will appear before Congress with an array of names which will give a truer index to the ' general sentiment of the North""than the BuiD< t i.I . ?... letin uoos; yet an Uiese parties disclaim any. fraternity or sympathy with abolitionism proper, while they are looking and working.for the abolition of slavery. The lessons itrtd experience ot the [?ast have simply caused northern sentiment to change its mode of attack, and these movements l>ear witness that there is an abiding determination to war-upon slavery until it is abolished or the Union is'dismembered. The success of such schemes, we hold, j can only be averted by the conservatism of the public press at the North. To this great I work we commend the Bulletin and its cotem-1 poraries, feeling assured thoy will do 'more es- \ sential service than by endeavoring, with honesty of purpose no doubt, to persuade us that the " general .sentiment" around theiu on this question is sound or law-abiding.

As soon as stiong suspicion fell upon the boy, liis owner punished hint severely, and then went forward and laid the whole matter before tire proper authorities. Me was brought to trial by the act of his master, who placed him before his fellow citizens to be dealt with as they thought proper, with an abiding faith in their wisdom, prudence, judgment and integrity. The offence was a grave one. and it mav be proper to remark tliat the severe chastisement he had already received was taken into consideration by the court in awarding tln-ir punishment. As no damage was done, his punishment, we think, was sufficient. If, however, any serious injury had resulted we fear that the judgment would scarcely have heen tempered with meicy.?Sumter Watchman.

A Bi.oooy Riot.?On Tuesday last some 25 or 00 Irishmen, belonging to the mines at Coal Castle, came to Pottsville as.a sort of escort to five or six of their friends who where about to depart for California. As usual on such occasions, they indulged freely in drinking, until about time for the afternoon cars to start when a large portion of them were ju?t in a fit condition for a row. Collecting at the Depot, those who were to leave obtained their tickets and entered the cars, while seve. ral of the others, intending to accompany their companions a short distance determined to enter the cars contrary to the rules of the company, without tickets. This could not be permitted, und they were repelled by the conductors.
