(Eljicaiga Qlnbnuc. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 20,1803. AN DEJECTION examined. The most serious objection made to the President’s amnesty is, tiiat it submits the freedom of emancipated dares to the deci sion of the Supreme Court—a body that Iras already decide d that black men have no nghlo that white men are hound to respect But we think the danger is much less than is feared. In the first place, the amnesty docs not bring the question before the Court. It is not in Mr. Lincoln’s power to prevent it from going before that tribunal. If he had not issued the amnesty offer to the rebels, the constitutionality of thepro damation of January Ist, 1863, would re main ail the same an open question for " adjudication. Therefore, that point raised by Phillips in his Hew York speech falls lo the ground. Nor is it probable that the Court will decide against the constitution ality of the freedom proclamation. The Courtis very differently composed from what it was when it decided the Died Scott case. The slave power then domi neered over public affairs. Five of the nine Judges were slave-holders. The Northern mind was imbued with the spirit of corn premise and submission were will ing lo mate almost any sacrifice to concili ate the imperiousandiordly davo-mongers, and the rights of the negro were unhesita tingly trodden under foot, if thereby the oligarchs could he kept in good humor. All this has changed since the slave-hold ers opened fire on Port Sumter. The Court has changed as well as the people. It is composed as follows: Tahzt, Haiyland, Copperhead. Kelson, Kcw York, Copperhead. GBZzß,P«mßjrlranift. war Democrat. Watkx, Georgia, Conservative. Cantos, Tennessee, Copperhead. Curroas. Maine, Conservative. S'watnz, Ohio, Republican. Pavia, IDinoJs, Bcpnblican. >fTiT,>3t. lowa. Republican. Fitt/p, California, Bepnblican. Wc call Grier, of a War Democrat because he voted an open Union ticket last fall and the fall before. A Copperhead of fered him a ticket of that stripe, which he refused,saying, “No, Sir, I vote for my country this year I” He is known to be in fiwor of employing colored soldiers to fight the rebels. Justice Grier and the four Republican Judges constitute half the Court, and no such decision as Phillips Indicates can be made over their heads. Kor is it probable that Judge "Wayne : would decide against the constitutionality of the proclamation- It •will be recollected that last spring he and Grier united with the BepuhUcan Judges in 44 recognizing the 44 belligerent rights of the Government nn -44 der the President's proclamations of 44 April, 1801, and condemning vessels cap . lured before Congress had met and re -44 cognized the slate of war” Taney weal with the minority. It was regarded as a test question as to the feelings of the Court on great national questions. Besides all . this, who knows that Taney will live long I enough to decide on the constitutionality of .‘the proclamation ? ‘He is scarcely alive ;mow. His sands are evidently nearly run. THE DEMOCRACY. Our self-called Democrats arc now labor ing under a terrible necessity, in which they have our profoundest sympathies, and the hope that they may find a safe de liverance—safe, we mean, to the interests of the country and of freedom—for as to the Democratic party, it is of precisely the same use that Satan is in the economy of the world at large. Before Douglas died, his declaration was that there could now be but two parties during the war—the loyal and the disloyal But Douglas did not control quite all the people of 'the Democratic persuasion. There was a section which preferred Breckin ridge, now commanding the armies of trea son—and for that matter they evidently prefer him yet Of those who called them selves Douglas men, some of them think they cannot afford to follow his advice. Por is not a President of the United States to be chosen next year? and are there not spollsto be won, if only they can elect a man of their choice? And the appetite of the Democracy just now for spoils Is that of a pack of lean dogs, when fresh Ijpef gives out its odor to their noses; or of a lank bear, just from sucking his claws all winter, when it comes in sight of a fill mutton. What can they do to get a President? They know in tier hearts that the course of the Government is right They know it to he more honestly and fairly adminis tered than it has been for more than twen ty years before. They know that their as sumption of power would plunge every thing into chaos, and go far to ruin the country. They know that the Government ought, in ail the interestsof safety,to be con tinued in the same hands substantially, which have carried it along so far so se curely and well, through such overwhelm ing and complicated difficulties. But then what shall the Democracy do for the - chance at the stealings, never so rich and tempting as ati present? Ought not the “ iligant pisantiy” to have a chance ? They have no stomaCh for the war, it is true; but then they have a first rate appetite for .taxes- They can vote prodigiously, and they have a mortal honor of voting in vain. Hence the pressure is tremendous; and an active search is going on—has been go ing on for a year or two past—for some ground on which the Democracy con stand in the coming election. The war policy is good; hut then the present Administra tion has dl that already; and two parties will find it difiicnlt to stand in exactly the same trucks; and the tns, in such a fight, have the decided advantage. The peace pohQy suits much better, hut th epeople have given an inkling of their thoughts on that matter already. And so we see them run ning hither and thither, like a parcel of pismires when a plowshare has ran through their nest and scattered their eggs. "Where they win fetch up finally, is uncer tain, and no great matter. Kor do we not believe the people will trust power in their hands at present. Bor we do not believe the Almighty has given over the nation to destruction. GOVERNMENT BOUNTIES. The following appeared in oar last Issue bat we deem it of sufficient importance for reinsertion WaßßZHgtox,D. C., Dec. 21,1863. A law hae been passed to the effect that no boos* ties except such as arc now provided bj law shall be paid to toy parson enlisted after the fifth (sth) day of January next The only bounty provided by law Is the one hun dred ($100) authorized by section (5) act of July 22,18Gt, and promulgated in General Orders No. 49,' of that year from the Adjatant General's of fice. Secure all enlistments of veteran and other volunteers possible before January J\fVu By order of the Secretary of War. E. D. Towvsxkp, Assistant Adjutant General. Many persons intending to enlist, pro pose putting it off until after the sth of January, under the impression that the present or even larger bounties will here after be paid. Cot this is a mistake. The. •Government will pay SIOO bounty alter Jan. 5, and no more. The $302 now of fered will then cease. The twenty million soldiers’ bounty bill which passed Con gress last week, is merely a deficiency bill, to legalize the past payment of $302 boun ties which were made without Congress ional sanction; but this appropriation lim its the time in which so large Federal bounties shall be paid to sth proximo. Wc hope this matter will get to be fully under stood before it Is too late. Remember, that after Jan. sth, the Federal bounty will be sloo,—until then $302. The Cook county bounty of SIOO also ceases to be paid on that day. Those who want to get this home bounty and escape the chance of being drafted must not delay beyond that date. C3s’* Bo U seems that Gen. Grant is to be rc-lntroduced to Joe Johnston once more. He will doubtless be quite happy of his ac quaintance. The rebels are greatly jubi lant over his appointment, especially as Bragg is to be his chief of staff They an ticipate by this announcement to get what is good for anything in each, and to bo free from whatever in both they deem worthy of complaint # If they are pleased with it, we do not see why Grant has any cause to he dissatisfied. The rebel army, as a mat ter of course, will be commanded by some. body while it can keep its legs; and wheth er his pame be Johnston, Bragg, or Har dee, or all together, it is pretty much the same to us. We rather think the more the belter. Gen. Grant has met Johnston be fore, and has been quite ready tomect him, when Johnston, for some reason, did not poem to he so fond of the interview. Ho waited a good while for him at Yicksbuig, hut he did not come; and in tact never has come till this day. Perhaps by the time Grant is ready to go out and look for him he may still be ho more willing than before. perhaps there is not much in names; but the name of Johnston has not been a lucky one for the rebrisin this war. Albert Sidney, the ablest one they had, was ' shot dead at Shiloh. Then there was a certain Bushrod Johnston, whom the papers re ported killed in the same battle; though we hare seen him spoken of since that several times as both dead and alive—a majority of the times as dead—and as he has never figured anywhere since, we shall count him as dead. Then this jg e Johnston was terribly shot through the gizzard at Fair Oaks, or about there, and has been of no great account since. 'He is a sort of a dilapidated General, with a re putation for something which nobody can exactly name, and is probably just about a fit commander for that Southern army; and with Bragg to execute for him, we hope to see him soundly thrashed once more, so soon as our Chattanooga heroes can get at him. IST* The rebels have been trying to man ufacture a little temporary comfort out of the canard that Grant was retreating from Chattanooga on Nashville, and was tear ing up the road behind him. What made him retreat, they did not seem to make clear. The story is of no consequence, and probably there were but few dunces who believed it Yet there was a time when every such story was swallowed entire, through the whole South. For the first year and a'half, the rebellion was fed on this sort of stnif Had every newspaper in Dixie been edited by Munchausen himself, the appetite for fool ish falsehoods could not have been better fed. Rebel victories were plenty as black berries, and outdid Waterloo in blood and brilliancy. But the thing was overdone at length; The truth kept creeping in through the meshes in their network of lies, and brought their organs into discredit with their dupes. And so at length their news papers have been forced, not through shame but through the uselessness of lying, into the practice of telling some truth. Audit is one bf the benefits of the war to the Southern-people, that they are bring driven into the necessity of knowing and speak ing the truth. For of all the tall lying the world ever saw, no men or nation ever had a chance to imagine such, for amplitude and intensity, for variety and continnous ncss, for meanness and uselessness, as formed the condition of things in the land called Dixie, In the times when the rebel lion flourished. Tor educate a people in ‘ truth is worth a war; and when fact sets up its reign in the South instead of sham, the war will be ended. About the Weather. A weather-wise Englishman prophesies a stormy Christmas. He broaches a theory that fifty-four years constitute a complete cycle for the prevailing winds, and that in each such cycle there are three such periods . each of four years—of deficiency of cast wind, and the same number of excess of east wind. 1806-1809, if we may believe this Bri tish Maridlan, formed a period of excess of west wind, and sc 1800-1863. With ISG4 will begin a* period of excess of cast wind. Illinois.

The proposition was made to two of the guard, and communicated to the officer of the day in advance, so that the final mat ter was anything but tragic. The guard per mitted the men to escape from the enclosure and to reach a certain distance away, where they paid over the agreed sum, S9OO to each of the guard. Greenbacks being short, the amount was eked two gold watenes. One of the guard received $l5O and a gold watch, and the other about the same. As soon as the qvid pro quo was handed over, the curtain dropped, other acts came ou the stage, and the five adventurers were ordered back to their old quarters—minus expenses. Clearly that experiment did not pay. Patkiotic akd Social. The country towns of the West are mingling patriotic ef forts in behalf of the soldiers, with their so cial gatherings.

An effort is to be made during the present session of Congress to compel the Bureau of Ordnance and Arms for the Army to adopt a better description of small arms than those at present in use. In tins war the skill and science of tbo North have not had that play which the exigencies of the occasion called forth. Wo bare fonght the South, (for less skillful than ourselves in arts and manufac tures,) with a precisely similar description of weapons, and thus have not, in war, as we in peace, allowed invention of the head to supersede the rude labor ol the hands. "Why should not the - North, in arms as well as in agriculture and manufactures, be able with its skill to do with* one intelligent man that which it takes twenty or twenty-fivo ig norant persons In the Sooth to accomplish? There is no reason, in the opinion of some of our most Intelligent and practical me chanics and machinists, save in the slow coach movements nf the War Office. As long as Gen. Ripley lived old fogylsm had Ihll sway. Now that he is dead, it was hoped that abetter state of things wonld be inaugurated- But 1 regret to say those who were sanguine on the point have been disappointed. Things more on about as they did before. The soldiers use the old, single ! cartridge musket,and the rebels do the same. Now, it is known in the Patent office, aud by intelligent men all over the eountry who have studied the subject, that the repeating, or volcanic rifles are a complete success. General Rosccrans. in whose army they have been tried, writes here to that effect. Gene ral Bnrnsiae docs the same. Hundreds of other Generals and officers in the army testi fy to the great merits of these weapons. Jnsl imagine a regiment of soldiers armed with fifteen shooting rifles, engaging a regiment armed with the ordinary weapons. The lat ter fire one round, and they are at the mercy of the former, who can slaughter them with out let or hindrance. I have seen these ri fles fired one hundred times in succession, and never miss once. A soldier armed with one of them, on picket duty,sees a movement in the bushes in front of him. With au or dinary rifle he must wait for the enemy to show*himself. With a volcanic weapon, he simply fires a random shot. The rebel,thiuk ing he most reload, shows himself, and im mediately a bullet or two.or three if necessary, are discharged al him. I have heard of in stances where this has been done hundreds of times. We arc now at our wits* ends for soldiers. Would not improved small arms 1 be just as good ? Let two or three thousand mechanics be employed in altering over the old rifles to repealers (which I understand can be easily done), and one regiment armed with them*is mhae as effective as fifteen armed in the ordinary manner. It is boldly asserted that in all this war not a single man on either side has been killed by the bayonet, except by accident. I have no doubt this is a fact. It follows that cannon and musketry have done the work. Let the musketry, then, be so improved that we will have the advan tage over the rebels which la ours by reason or our superior natural position, superior mechanical skill and ingenuity, and superior intelligence. The War Bureau having charge of the matter not moving properly therein, I learn that a resolution will be Introduced in the Senate upon the subject, at an early day. I regard it os a most momentous and impor tant matter. Last evening Mr. Arnold delivered a speech before the National Union League, in which he used the following words: “I cannot dose without offering my tri bute of respect and gratitude to our great and just Chief-Magistrate, wbo has given to the institution or slavery the hardest blows it hag ever received—who has donemore to de- 6troy slavery than all others. [Cheers.] Let Abraham Lincoln/bfwfl the great xcork he has begun. [Long and continued chcere.] Touae lus own gooaold Saxon words, “let him finish the job."

Schofield’s Case—Contempt for Negro Enlistments—Speck of War In the Soatliwest-Haaiioc Guerillas— A Paper Blockade—Tickling Bose* era ns, etc., etc. [From our Special Correspondent.! St. Lotus, Dec. 31,1893. The suggestion of a compromise in Gen. Schofield's case by which he is to be removed from command of this department on condi tion of being confirmed into a Major General is Infamous- ft is quite as bad os the story circulated here a few days ago that Gratz Brown was a Blair man, and had promised to vote to confirm Schofield. Schofield's record is pro-slavery from beginning to end. He has never made a concession to the real emanci pation party of this State that was not wrong from him by an order from the War Depart ment, and the attempt to make any capital In his behalf by a different statement is not only absurd but criminally false. It could not be otherwise. Schofield has been completely under the thumb of such patriots as Gov. Gamble, Austin A. King, James T. Hollins, Willard P. Hall and others, who have proven their devotion to the interests of slavery in an hundred ways. The recent developments in the matter of enlisting negro soldiers should satisfy any true Union man that Scho field was not the man for Missouri. Further testimony has been received con cerning the contemptuous manner in which the subordinate Provost Marshals in the inte rior have treated the order to enlist negroes under Instructions from the War Depart ment, Taking this testimony in connection with the rapid diminution In the number of negroes arriving here, and it cannot be suc cessfully controverted that the policy of the Department here has defeated the cause of the Government A General truly anxious to farther this issue, would soon find a way to stop the establishment of armed patrols of slaveholders on public roads in the inte rior to prevent negroes going to recruiting stations to enlist information was received hero yesterday that a wagon load of negroes was passed on the road to Huntsville, tied and handcuffed, in charge of their owners and owners’ agents, being carried back to slavery. All tins for the awful crime of try ing to reach a recruiting officer and enlist in the military service of the nation. The proofs of this practice are in the hands of the au thorities, and yet nothing has been done to redress these wrongs. How Gen. Schofield can escape the odium of the future while heretofore claiming the praise of success, is beyond present comprehension, though the copperhead conservatives have check enough (as Doesticks calls it) to claim anything. A little speck of. Interest has occurred re cently in Southeast Missouri, caused by a re port that CoL Reeves, an old time guerilla, hod advanced as far north as Centre ville, in Reynolds county, twenty-five miles west of Pilot Enob, and is gobbling up Union men as conscripts for the rebel army. Beeves has successfully concealed his men from the eyes of CoL livings ton's cavalry brigade, which lately passed through southeast Missouri from Pilot Knob to Pocahontas. Our caval ry from Patterson and Houston are trying to cutoff his retreat; but past experience has demonstrated thentterimpoßslbmty of catch ing a handful of mounted men bent on es cape, who know all the roads and are in sym pathy with the few people remaining In the country. This little raid of Beevea’derives its importance only from the fact that his gang Is just now the only organized rebel band in Missouri, and a few days hence cren that will be dispersed and sent living in de tachments to tb l . Arkansas line. Some time ago a rebel mail was intercept' ed, which contained a batch of rebel letters from Marmadnkc’s men. dated in camp near 'Washington, Hempstead county, Ark. Some of these letters spoke of the writers* return-' ing to Missouri, with Shelby, this winter, from which, with other information, the im pression still prevails that a raid is contem plated. It will be a failure, in all probability worse than the lost The attack on Fort Gib son, in the Indian Territory, of which we had news a few days since, is supposed to have been part of the programme for this raid. The country in the Southwest has been a fine field, of late, for picking np straggling gue rillas, and many of them have been arrested, i Since the hanging of a member of Gather- | wood’s Cth Missouri State militia by bush whackers, that regiment has declared the direst Tengcancc on all straggling guerillas, and it is safe to say that not less than twenty bare been hanged to avenge the death of one man. Such is war, or the effects of war, La the border States, of which our Northern Copperheads know nothing. The catching of guerillas is in the hands of local Post Commanders, who exercise their own. discretion, without waiting for any orders from headquarters. It has. been - ascertained that many of the guerilla hands are now in their old haunts, living around Irom house to house in the vicinity of their former homes. A practice has been com menced of hunting up these fellows, and especially where any cine can he obtained of the whereabouts of the leaders. Oar soldiers are not chicken-hearted about shooting bush whackers, and we con imagine the conse quences. During the last two weeks infor mation has been received of the death of about ten or twelve bushwhacker captains, | who have richly deserved the halter. Though tide process is rather summary, it Is the only method of squelching guerilla outbreaks, for the officers of snch gangs arc always full of mischief so long as they can gather a few men about them for the sake of plunder or revenge. The indignation lately manifested by cer tain merchants at Secretary Chase’s so called blockade of the river, by restrictions impos ed on commerce, baa lately been transferred to the Board of Underwriters for declaring, that all boats plying between this port and Cairo, till further notice, will be at the risk cf the owners. There is only three feet of water In the channel, whereas five or six feet -1 has been considered heretofore a “low stage.” It is well that the Underwriters should be so severely reprobated—they have been foremost in complaining of Secretary Chase’s blockade—now they Enow bow un reasonable popular clamor is when it under takes to decide a policy for public officers regardless of the general situation of affairs. In truth, the water is lower than at any time within memory. The lowest water previous ly recorded was in 1860, but now it is seven and three quarter inches lower than in ’GO. Friends of Immediate Emancipation are not despondent concerning the probability of an early means being at hand to decree slavery absolutely abolished, long before the time fixed by the pro-slavery State Conven tion which adjourned last Jane. Tbe Con servatives were afraid to commit the matter to the hands of the people. They have re fused to pass a hill to call a new convention, hut it is believed a majority may still be had before the term of the present Legislature expires. One of the arguments against a convention was the alleged expense, but when it was proposed the members should serve without pay, it was voted down. The first anniversary of the President’s Emancipation Proclamation will he cele brated on New Year’s Day by a grand de monstration of free colored men In this city. They are making extensive arrangements for a procession to consist of all the benevolent societies and delegates from abroad. Two colored regiments will participate, and a na tional salute will be fired by colored artil lerists. . A relic of antiquity gr-duate at West Point is in command at Benton Barracks here. His name is CoL Bonneville, and lie 2ms served in the regular army for nearly forty years. He has been placed on the re tired list “for incapacity resulting from long and faithful service, from wounds or in juries received, from disease contracted, and from exposure in the line of duty.” CoL Bonneville is in spirit opposed to arming negroes, and he shows very little regard for their comfort A few days ago he assigned some white recruits to quarters occupied by negro women, and forthwith in the midst of a pelting storm, the blacks were turned out doors—all this while long rows of unoccu pied barracks were open to temporary occu pancy. Such is West Point influence in the treatment of negroes. The expected arrival of Gen. Rosecrans causes some amusing episodes. The Blair Ofgun (the Union) and the JtepuNScan are praising. Rosecrans, and predicting he will disappoint the Radicals. They wish to pave the way for taking him under their own es pecial protecting wing, hat the disappoint ment predicted will certainly be double. They can’t humbug Rosecrans with their pro-slavery palaver. A militia Captain, relating the killing of bushwhackers, in a private letter, says that Ids command met five “ Conservative chaps” with arms in their bands and killed every one of them.

Wc are indebted to Mr. Prouty, of the town of Ela, for the following particulars of the cold-blooded murder of Mrs. Hath Bri den {a widow lady, who owned and resided upon a farm in that town,) which was per petrated on the morning of the 23d instant, between the hours of seven and eight o’clock- Mrs. Briden has rented herfarm on shores the past year to one William Bell, who has resided with her, and upon whom suspicion of having committed the deed strongly fastens. We give the circum stances, preliminary and otherwise, as they arc furnished to us. Some difficulty has existed between Mrs. Briden and her ten ant for a time post, relating to the farm busi ness, and she has at varioustimes endeavored to buy out his interest in the crops, etc. About two weeks since, Mrs. Briden visited her brother-in-law's, about a mile distant, leaving her bouse locked. While gone she received some money, which, upon her return, she proceeded to place with §llO which she had left in a dress pocket in her bed-room, and found her money gone. 'Mr. Bell had been repairing some sheds near the house, and she informed him of the. loss of the money, and questioned him concerning it He disclaimed any knowledge of the matter, nor had he seen any one around the bouse. It appears that Mrs. Briden had strange sus picions that Bell had taken the money, and this served to widen the breach between them. On the morning of the 23d instant Mrs. Briden, her daughter Almcda, who is attend ing school at Wanconda, and Mr. Bell, break fasted together. The daughter wished to go to school that day, bat her mother desired hertostayat home, hat finally consented that she might go. Shortly after Almeda had reached the school house, word was brought to her that her mother bad been mur dered. Between 7 and 8 o'clock of the morning indicated, a daughter of Mr.Morley, a neigh bor, heard the err of murder, and informed her father that Mrs. Briden ms hallooing murder. Mr. Motley thought that it was some boys who had made the outcry and pro ceeded with his work: but he finally con cluded to go over to Mrs. Briden’s and see if anything was the matter. On reaching the house he found it locked and no one to answer to his calk He then went into the cow-yard, where he found the body of Mrs. Briden. To all appearances she had been en gaged in milking, and had milked about a quart, when she met her death. Her body was lying on the right side, with her throat cut and a razor placed in her hand. The side of her face and head bore marks of haring received blows from some flat instrument— supposed to be the head of an axe. There evidently had been no struggle after she re ceived the blows. Suspicion attaches to William Bell as the perpetrator of the deed, from the circum stances above narrated, and from the further lacts that he was chopping wood in the door yard at the time Almcaa mil for school, bnt a few minutes before the murder, aud that tracks about the body were traced to Mr. Orson CadwclTs premises, where Bell was chopping, and found to correspond exactly with his.' Bell was at once arrested. Ho dis claimed all knowledge of the murder, and de clared his Innocence. He acknowledges the razor which was found in Mrs. Bridcn’a band to he his, bnt professes not to knowhow It came there. Bell was taken before Justice Bangs, of Wancondo, on Wednesday mominir, for ex amination. We hope to have the'result of the trial before we go to press. P. S.—A Coroners jury impounded on the body of Mrs. Briden, returned a verdict in substance that “ the deceased came to her death by a blow given by some blnnt instru ment, and the cutting of her throat, by some person to them unknown.” William Bell, the supposed murderer, ap peared before ’Squire Bongs on Wednesday. His counsel, Mr. Williams and Mr. Thomson, waived an examination, and he was commit ted to the county Jail, to await the action of the grand Jury in February next* FROM TBE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.

Eight paymasters, under the charge of Major Oakley, arrived at army headquarters last evening for the.purpose of paying off all those troops who have re-enlisted in the veteran regiments. One million dollars In greenbacks accompanied them, and one mil lion more will arrive to-morrow. They will commence paying the men to-morrow. Ma jor Staples will pay off the entire cavalry force. Up to last evening 15,000 men bad re enlisted, and by next week it is expected that the number will be increased to 80,000. The gallant 6th corps, Major General Sedgwick, maintains its prestige untarnished, 4,000 fighting men having already enlisted from its ranks. Bc-enllstmcnts under the veteran order are rapidly going on. Scores of regiments have been remastered into the service, and every day increases the number. Every regiment in Kilpatrick’s cavalry division coming under the order has re-enllsted. Orders to open the oyster, fish, poultry, game and canned milk trade will supply a want long felt by the army. Small cans of condensed milk nave hitherto been sold by sutlers for from sixty cents to one dollar per can, and other army luxuries in proportion. JTOAKCUL AND COMMERCIAL \\ ’TIIE JJOW.Y MABKKT.

There was an active Inquiry both by packers and ship pers at the dose, and the yards to-uigfat are com pletely emptied—scarcely a hog ren&ining unsold. The receipts of Beef Cattle were unusually light and the market was Arm, with ealesof 529 head, at $3.£5©3.60 gross. The market for Dressed Hogs to-day was 'more active, and we note an advance in prices of 150 20c per 100 lbs.

At the close there was an active inquiry both by shippers and packers, and the market was firm at full prices. The continued heavy receipts of Hogs increased the timidity of buyers of Provisions, and the mar ket to-day ruled unusually quiet. There was some inquiry for Bulk Meats, and we note sales of 7,000 pcs and 30,000 lbs country cored Shoulders at 6..V06C loose.

The Hog Crop—Fork-Packing in lowa, &c* Below we give extracts from letters received da ring the past two or three days from various points In the West, with regard to the Hog crop: * Bubuxotox, Dec. 25, IS6I, I bare Jest come in from Ottumwa. I find that the opinion there is that there trill he a decidedly short crop. Mitchell & Ladd are the only peckers there, and they ■will pack this season 33,000 boss, against •15,000 last year. The agent of the Burlington and Mis souri railroad thinks there will he 50,000 hogs yet to come forward; hot I think be is too high In his esti mate. Ahont 2,300 hops crossed the river to-day. West of ns the roads have been snowed under for some time ;hnt now the weather Is lino and the roads good, and everything will come forward. Mitchell & Ladd will close this week. In Burlington two houses arc already closed, and the other one will close about the middle of next week* The packers say they can't get hogs, which Is a pretty sore Indication that they are scarce. They will pack here U.CCOhogs, against 65,000 last year. Keokuk. lowa, D0c.33,1883. This Is a large packing point and Is well located to fill np their qnota of bogs, and the packers are well posted In the number of bogs to come forward. They have had men all throngh the State buying. One bouse has packed as high as £5,000, and they bare call* cd In their bay era because they cannot get bogs. One bayer told me yesterday that farmers bad offered to orrzhlm bogs that are not fit for market, and bo thought they bad shot them to saye their corn. Ido not believe there can possibly be oyer fifty or seventy* five thousand yet to come forward. The following are some statistics of the-packlng in several of the leading points In Iowa: Thlfc season. Last season. Keokuk* Fort Madison. Birmingham... War5aw........ Other points around here where they packed last season hogs will pack none this season. O. Bueltsotos, lowa, Dec. 23, ISttU I can give you no information with regard to the amount of hogs yet to come forward oat of lowa. I bad prophesied that they would all he cleaned out by the Ist of December; bat the cry is 44 still they come.” We shipped fifty car-loads to-day and have thirty car loads left over. I know positively of SXOO hogs yet to come, and there may be three times that number. Cattle will be coming more or less all winter. Quzkct, Dec. 23,1663. In answer to your Inquiries about “Hoga” from Missouri, I would say there Is still a very large amount along the line of that road I Hannibal and Bt. Joseph R. R.]. Quincy packers have £OXOO hogs bought In Missouri and awaiting shipment, and seve ral ethers have large amounts on hand. I should think I was safe in saying that there are at least 40,000 hogs yet to come out of Missouri. Shippers are suffering terribly and losing hogs by the quantity in not being able to get ears on that road, and it will completely break up many good shippers. A large proportion of the bogs will stop here, Ho one can form any correct Idea of the difficulties of fur nishing transportation until they try it. W.' KcirYork Grocery Market. (From the If. T.

Review of the Lumber Trade for [From the Montreal Witness, 2Uh.] The lumber trade or tho post season, now over, hag, upon the whole, been better and more profitable than for some years. The iarce amount of buildings that have been going up, In which both square timber and sawed lumber nave been used* bos had much to do with the success of this important branch of trade in this place; while the United States demand both for square Umber and hewn stuffhaabeen so large that but very slender Blocks are In the bands of mill-own* era throughout the province. For ordinary square limber the United States, especially at tbecommence* ment of the season, before the great rise In gold, has been a better market than Quebec, though of course the latter place haa received almost afl the larger Umber, which Is not so much sought after on the otherside ofthe line. These two causes, tho large amount of building going on here, and generally throughout the province, and the very considerable demand ibr the States, had tended to keep up prices, which have been higher than for the previous year or There u a fair stock of Umber on hand hero Just now; tho quantity of good sawn lumber help by dealers is small, but there la abundance of coarse stuff; some sa> too much. The prospects fornext year’s business seem pretty good, but. as far astransactloaa with the States are concerned,ore mainly, if not altogether, dependant upon the State of the money market, and the result of the deliberations of the United States Congress upon the conUnnstlon or otherwise of the Koctorocl ty Treaty. Should United States Exchange continue at Its present value, and the matter of the treaty re main in sutn quo.hut UtUe business will probably be done; while,lf the price of gold declines, and U. S.

Marine Disasters on thclokcsin 1553. [From the Toledo Blade.] During the past season the loss of property on the - lakesby marine disasters, has probably been as larse, if not larger than in any year since 1556, when the lorees were $3,126,711. The loss of lire baa been very light so Car as concerns sail vessels. If it had not been for the loss or the steamers Sunbeam, Water Witch and the schooner Kate Norton, the record wonld have been almost» blank. The navigation of these inland waters Is attended with more peril than •ny other morKJme waters of the same extent in the world, and the most careless cannot but have ob served and remembered the appalling records of lose oflifelnotherycars.wben many a noble vessel with its crew has gone down, or with few escaping to tell the fearful tale.

HOGS-Tbls, as usual for Monday, has been a quiet day iu the stock yards, the principal amount of busi ness transacted since Saturday, having been got through yesterday, there has been little or no stock left over for sale to-day: and, as an Indication of the mode in which the spare hours since morning have been occupied, we found a notice in the scale-book at Sherman’s Tarda, announcing that the three officials of pre-eminent authority there 44 had gone down town, and may be expected back again on or before the Ist day of January.” All fears that might have been entertained for their safety were, however, dis pelled by their timely arrival about dinner time. The receipts since Saturday amount to about 3,000 Hogs, aod the entered sales to 12X49. The principal pur chases have been made by packers, with some few lota bought for shipment to Pittsburgh; but froaCtho retire tone of feeling shown la the market, It has been pretty evident that the supply has beca fir more limited than the demand; as It Is, there li no stock left over at any of the yariU this evening unsold. Prices bate been very firm at our former quotations, especially for prime and extra qualities.
