Good judges of' horse-flesh n ay v.t a point fromil the extract below as to what young mules will sell for here this fall. The Lexington (Ky.) Ob ServCr of the 15th says : Peter Gentry, of 11toyle county, sold to Clag Bishop & Co., on the 10th in. stant, '78 extra two-year old mniles at $160 per head. On the 9th, Dr. Moore, of Mercer county, sold to same 21 two-year old mules for 130 per head. Nine good two-year old mules were sold on the street in this city at private sale, on Monday last, at $1: per head. The Free School. About five months ago we called at tention to the Free School under the charge of Miss Mackey, an accomaplish ed and experienced, and what is still better, a conseientious, teacher. We have seen this school in its workings, and can testify that there is a work going on there that is not at all appre ciated to a degree commensurate with its merits. As will appear under the head of communications, there is an appeal made to the nicrehants and citizens of this community, which we hope will be cordially and liberally responded to. Thelo are children at that school, who but for it, would not unlikely be roaming the streets much to the an-. noyance of the window'glass and other fiagile parts of publie or private build ings. But this is a minor considera tion. Those children are undergoing a course of instruction to fit them to become good and worthy citizens, and it is to the interest of all to have them such. It is really a valuable invest ment then, and we hope will be freely made, as an opportunity will be af forded all concerned to do it. It will be seen that heretofore this school has been supported exclusively from the.alms-giving of the Episcopal Church, while we believe there is not one of that denomination in attend ance at the school. Theli school is eim phatically a free one, and it should be freely supp)orted by this community. A mite given for the increase of know ledge, where the opportunities for knowledge are with a competent teach.. er, will more than repay the giver. Lsaudable Aion of the Colored People. There has been for the past fourt een years an organization of coloredl peo plo in this town known as the Inde pendent Society, No. I. The obgetsof this Society were charitable. TFhey have lately adopted a resolution which shows that they have other good pur poses in view besides those of earing for each other in sickness ; it is niow to care for their good name. Their ac tion has been approved by the Coun cil, as will be seen below, and' it be hooves every well-meaning ind ivid uail both white and colored to aid in every worthy manner the means therein adopted by this Socioty and sanction ed by the Town Council, sio that the ends in view may.be'effected for the peace, good order and safety of our hole community. The $ction of the colored people preceded by similair ac and other places proval of b6em nicipal and military authorities. Tho following is the resolution alluded to "Rcsolved, That with the approva of the Town Council of our purposts we agree to use vigilance and justici in bringing before the proper munici pal authorities, all offenders amonj colored people against the peace an safety of this community." (Signed) WILLIs GOODE, President. Approved by Council, (Signed) W. E. AIKEN, Intendant. Aiivnst 22. 1866." The object of this action on thei part, as expressed in the preamble is "witi a view to maintain good or. der, aid a nnine for lonety, industr ml lnw-ablin.'"

Good Ne'w. for !e 1ugary. -' he NcN York Journal .f Conmmnlrce, of' Monday, tic 20th1 inst., publishes the following, whicl will give our readers some idea of' the inex liaustible fertility of the Western couni rv: Within six weeks, that is to say, by the 1st of October, will be harvested one of th< largest corn crops ever produced in tihe Uni ted States. Nothing can look more luxuril. ant than the fields of growing corn that covY( thousands of acres in the vallies of tleOhioand Missouri Rivers, where one. half of the entire crop in the United Statet is produced. A writer in one of the Wes. tern papers calculates that, as a bushel oj corn contains sixty solid pounds of grain, the crop of tile current year, even if il should not exceed 80,000,010 hushels, wiil anount to four iliousand eight hdndret million (4,800,000,000) pounds of grain, besides an equal weight inl fodder. Th< value to the country of such an aggrecgat< of ngriculltural wealt h, sprinagi ng from it simgle crop, is not easily conceived. TIhoeugh wheat reailit.es a hiighor pirice per buisheol ir the market, its positive v:liuo as a lif'e-sus taining produtct is mutch iunfer'ior to that 01 manize, since the froer' averages bitlittb more thian onc-third as5 mucih to the acr'es it the qutant ity grown. The stat istics of ti< prodnet ion of corn in the UJnited States foi the last twenty-f'ive years are as follows viz: R,ushels Tn 1810, tot al crop 877,581,871 In 18150, tot al crop 592,671,1 fn 18610, tot al crop 830,451,E0' In 18t6i, total crop (estimiat. ed) 1,03,000,00 'Iben wrniter, whose calculations we have noticedl, retmarks uIpon this showing as fol l's:"The incealse being" at the r'ate o four per cent. per' annum, the aggregat< crop of' 1866t will lie over one thousand mil lions oif bushelj! Estimate this at sixt3 centsa per bushol, nndl conceive, if yet: can the feeding power' ofthnis enormous quatit ty of idianl 'or'n."' No wonder that thne farmers of' the Wes exult in I lie pro'(spects afforded by thoh luxutriant fields. TIhey hlav6 surely be001 dlisappiointedh, aiv 1no staple of rigriculturi seems so well adapted to resist the ehanige of our climate.

The Union and American says that, upon the completion of the Nashiville and North-western Railway, St., Jouis and the cit;es of the North Mississippi Valley will find that Charleston is near er and a better port for the importatoin of their goods from foreigil ports than any other, and that the cities of the South-east valley will be able to make trade reciprocal by encouraging a great highway through the South, which will prove more profitable to them than the Not thern line. We hope that Mr. Cobia will be ei tirely successfil in his efforts to enlist the co-operation of the citizens of the South-wet. Charleston is our own Queen City, and every measure taken for her pro3perity, if successful. is bene ficial to t.he whole State. We desire to rise in commercial pro!perity and great ness, and no cupidity of individuals or corporationq should he permitted to lure away any portion of the business neces sary to such a result. IrOnTANT TO Co-Tro.1 HoLnrns.--A cor. respondent of the Mobile Tribune of the I 7th says: MR1as EDITORs:- notice under the regulations of tile Treasury department, which appear in (lie National Intelligencer of the 11th inst., by E- A.
