'(Connecticut) Farmer sends it the following
slip clipped from the N,ew York Ledger of July
11, 1850, which is curious when contrasted
. with'tho expense account of the present day.
The editor of the Ledger expressed alarm when
lie footed up the expenses of the Government j
tinder Mr. Pierce, and omphasized his alarm i
with platoons of exclamation points, as is seen !
in the extra referred to :

After producing this, tho Farmer shows the j

Morb Official Mismanagement.--A few
days ago, previous to the meeting of the impressment
commissioners in Virginia, you could
purchase wheat in that State for ten dollars per
bushel. * Stuce the adjournment of the coinmis
Ki6n6rs,/*the price has gone up to thirty dollars
per bushel. This advance has been caused by
the action of that body of men. This certainly
