According toihe Ciireinnatillailroad Uecord,
sixty millions of bnsbcis of corn are in
Ohio every year. 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. Even in tin's great producing
country, and in that abundant article, In- |
' -diau C.ohl we have daily evidence that the j
production "is not beyond the demand ; but on i
*lhe contrary, that froin year to year, the price
of'bisstaple article-advances .and on the completion
of our uutnerous railroads to markets,
ifr U certain that.coru will advance largely iu j

country in regard to the bog and cattle mark- j
Vt:
Iu the county of Fayette, tlie first county of
the State iu agcieukure, I caused the Cum mis- .
s4oner,oT Tax to take the census of hogs more J
fially -tban the law required. The result is:
listed in 1852 13,180 hogs over six months '
old ; this year,.20,063^. all, six months over
I and under, 39^03 ?nearly all of which latter
F*nn?l>er may be brought into market at home
orabroad.
. Theyppprt of the Louisville Courier will
?* give you an idea of the number of bogs over
jk mi months old, and the above data a proxiV
mate estimate of the whole number, all of i
which shows an amount of hogs unprecedenP
ed in our State. Similar causes, no doubt,
: have produced like results in all the hog-growing
States.
The two. months' drought prevailing all over
( the Shite caused the purchasers of hogs, for
foture to h*ve some npprebensiun of
1 * - high prices; but. the lute rains have been very i
* fine, and corn will be an average crop all |
through this section, and-as far us 1 can hear
L ? throughout the State, except upon the poorest
Bt;Soils.. 1 should say that aH I>ogs suitable for
; fattening r/Ul be made- fat. Stock hogs are
three.'dollar* per hundred, gross, and freely off^re<l.
Fat hogs refused at the same price.
r Tlje-amount of old corn is considerable, at
t- $1.5(Kper harrd in the crib. New corn is
selling at $1.25 per barrel in the field.
Cattle coining in for wiuter and fall beef
are more scarce than I ever knew them. I am
[ now grtuing 700 cattle?only one'hubdred of
f ihem will be tit for killing this fall, whereas
usually one-half would have bpen good beef.

Forty eight have retired ? most of them on ac :

I Sonieweeks since,?in "?' article oh Summer:
j Travelling we remarked that much of the pre- ]
judi'je again-1 the institution of slavery,exis jug ,
Jut ibe North, was owing ton wilful ami vuiun- j
J tary igt hi ranee on the pa it of the people of the j
J nou-s.aveholiling States of our people ami t heir i
: eliaraeter, and thatthis.igiioranco was a serious ,
; obstacle to a more cordial and perfect union be ;
11ween the North and the South.
| The Philadelphia Bulletin gives the extract j
1 on this poi it, and says:
" Our Southern cotempnrary, we assure hint, i
| does injustice to the North in the above para- j
J graph. 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.

Nkgho Tuiai..?A small boy, the property
of Major John F. Ilaynsworth, of our town, was
trie<l before a Migi-Pnte and five Freeholders
on Ft id.i\ last, for placing ob-truetioin upon
the Wilmington ami Mamdiestor Hail Kond a j
rcw dayu previous. The jury returned a vcr-1
diet of guilty, and sentenced him to fifteen da\s
Imprisonment, ti? receive twenty-five lashes at
the beginning, and twenty-five at the expirut
it hi of his confinement in jail. As the cirem.nstances
of the case are, in some respects, singular,
and not understood by nnny persons,
ue will briefly lay tliern before the public. The
boy is a mere \ outli, old enough, it is true, to
have known better: but in addition 1u the ex
cellent character for industry and good nature
which he proved heforc the court?it was very
manifest from all the attendant circumstances
that he was not actuated by any evil intentions.
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.

has. for its object the diffusion of knowledge,
as it appertains to all branches of Agriculture
and of our peculiar institutions. We desire a
close bond of fellowship, that wo may develope
our resources and be united as oue man in

dant on us, and we glory in our position. Let
us be true to ourselves and all will be well.
Iii the discharge of our duty as "Executive

tune of the next meeting of tlie Association to
be on Thursday, the first day of December
next, at Columbia,-S. C., which will be during
the first week of the session of the. Legislature
of that State. From every slaveholding State
gentlemen of distinction have been applied to
by us to present addresses before the Association
on the various subjects of interest connected
with it.
To the Southern press we also appeal, and
we hope that every newspaper "will not only
publish this circular, hut will give their ablest
efforts to this cause, time and again, in their
editorial columns.
We earnestly desire that all who feel the
importance of the work before us, and wish to

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.
Blinded and maddened by rum, they made
fight, when Mr. Jennings, Captain of the Police,
Justice Kline, and several citizens attempted
to quell the disturbance, Ht first by
mild persuasion, which was instantly met by
taunts and insult, the bellhrenents Rtrioniurr

to overcome them. Aided, however, by a reinforcement

with such effect as to prostrate six of the. rioiers,
they were arrested, and all reeking with
with blood and thoroughly subdued by the severe
chastisement their own bad conduct rendered
necessary, taken before Justice Reed,

their trial at the next Sessions. Nearly, or,

, The Lancaster Rail Road.
Again is the opportunity offered to the citi- j
uis of Camden, to secure the benefits of a ;
ailroad connection with Lancaster'and North j
urolitm. The Lancaster Railroad Company I
tve ap|Hiiiited Commissioners in this place to !
iceive subscriptions to their Road, and the
Jolts are now opened at the store of Mr. John j
os.ser, for twenty dayST
'I he question is now submitted, and it may
} for the last time, to the capitalists of Cam'ii,
whether or not they will make any- effort
i secure that Road. Will they subscribe f I
there a necessity fur it t Let the trade le- j
timately ours, now seeking other channels,:
id filling' other coffers?lei the producers,
rineily supii in our streets, wirh their 6cores
* wagons, but now thronging other markets?
t the depreciating houses and lots, and tenit
less buildings of Camden ? let the unse.t:d,
re-tless, half determined minds of our
adesmen and merchants? let the empty cars,
issetiger and freight, on our Railroad, and deeased
mui decreasing, supply of cotton ? let
e withdrawal of the agencies of Banks and
isurance Companies from our Town?let all
lese answer. It is impossible to close the ear r
piinst their response. Wp are in an exuemi,
and the question is' not'so much whether
lis Road offers the best means to save us,
it rather is it- not the only means now in our
jwer to use The interests and wishes of
e people of Lancaster prefer over any other
irite, the connection with Camden.
A consultation meeting was h^ld in Jnly
st at Miller's Church, with soine of the lead
g members of that Company, and it was
peed that if Camden would secure the Road
> a proper subscript ion she might have ul
ays two Directors, also the right to Jopnte
ie Depot here, provided tin* track connected j
ith the Camden Brunch, and that the Road
muld he extended to North Carolina. Inadlion
to which, we hnVe good reason t?? ex>ct
that the machine shops <fcc.,.belonging to
e Company, would also be .located among
>. What more c<?u]d our people ash, espeally
if the Road of itself is desirable? It is
ue the meeting at-the Church was an inforni<>ne,
and not binding upon the organized
ompany, until endorsed by them,- but it- is
ear that the resolutions .passed -are binding
ion every individual who was present and
jted for them. .The Road will be extended
i North Carolina ?it is the with of that State,,
id of Lancaster, so far as their, views are
piwn,.and notice, it seems, has been given, in
le Papers that an application will be made at
e next session of the Legislature for a proper
unter to efleef its extension. If the Road
maid be extended to Conrotd, a distance ofj
lout l>f) miles from us, Camden may beenme i
great thoroughfare for travel and trade. Can !
iy see a reason why travel from Georgia and j
om the South West via Augusta should not |
ke_ that route <??r the north ( The Central J
oad of North Carolina pnsse# uiwr Cnncord,
id will afford u quick and safe transpoi talion
lwaid to the>North, and still much better if
Road should he brought dow n from Danvi.le
a., to 'Salisbury, which wa-ouce eoniemplud..
Then we would lie in the way of the
uickest and safest line of travel, between the
. r - *t
eat sections 01 our union.
Let our capitalists see to it?let- our real cs-)
te holders and merchants give the subject i
loir consideration and the Ro'ad their subsciip- j
ons?let the friends of- the Road he active|
ilking and writing and diffusing light in every '
sssible manner.? Let the Town Council cail j
meeting of .the Citizens and ascertain if they I
e willing for the Town to take stock?and !
t all who can, place a handsome subscription

Mn. Editoh/^?In your Inst week's paper appears
a coiinnomcatio'n over the signature of R.
tx Bailey, which, so far qs he is known to this
community, can do no-iiarm to myself. A feeling
ot self respect forbids my disclosing his c nduet
while stopping aUlie Mansion House about,
14 months ago. A character so well known,
makes it a matter of perfect indiflercnceto the
low epithets he so lavishly indulges in. As a
refutation of what he says, respecting my table,
I have the satisfaction of annexing, and tMt Unsolicited,
a card from gentlemen who have been
boarders at the Mansion, not for one (fay or week,
but some of theiu for years past. E.

aged about 22 years, was struck by lighting,,
on Saturday evening last, at his residence in
Davidson county, N. C , and instantly killed.

and wife were the etily occupants of the house
and were alone at the time of the awful visitation.

Tiik Boll Worm.?From all parts of the
State we hear of the tpost serious complaints
about the ravages of the Poll Worm. There
is no doubt hut that the cotton crop has sustained
great damage, and there is no telling
where the injury wirt terminate. It is. now
certain that there will be a great hilling off in
Mississippi this \ ear. from the amount pc<*hieed
last season.?Jackson Afixsissippian, 3d intt.
The Cotton Crop.?-'Hie prospects .of the
cotton crop have declined considerably in the
last month. In some quarters boll worms,
and in others rod, have done jnuoh injury
The weed is unusually large, hut nufparticshrly
well boiled, and during the recent dry weather
there has been much shedding." Nevertho*
less the crop hereabouts will probably exceed,
that of last year, although we think it is generally
estimated too high. ? Eufavla. (i4/o.) Spir~

If the cutiele of tire scalp is kept healthy, and tl?e
germs of the hair invigorated by stinrolents wliieh operate
at their roots, through the inner skin or derm# of
the head, a strong and vigorous head of hair cannot
fail to be the result. The operation of Lyon's Kathairon
