Sr. Louts, December 3, 1853.
The Weather has been quite changeable during the
week—part of the time very cold, but to-day is quite
mild and spring -like. Business on the Levee is ex
tremely good for the advanced period of the season
—a large fleet of boats are now lying in the harbor,
and all apparently actively engaged, both receiving
and discharging. Boats still continue to arrive from
all quarters, but the cold weather is driving them
fropi the rivers above, and navigation to points on
those streams will soon cease for the season. There
has been some floating ice in the Missouri and upper
Mississippi during the •recent cold spell, and all the
boats now up will lose no time in making their way
out. The steamers from4he South arrive with full
cargoes of groceries,&c. The stock of groceries In
this market is neary exhausted, and the demand
continues good. The Milwaukie river is frozen across
with ice an inch thick, and at Racine the ground
was covered with snow.
Our produce market has somewhat improved.—
There is little or nothing; doing in hemp or tobacco,
as the mason for these articles has nearly closed.—
In flour, a good demand exists, and it is-now held at
$8 and $ll, according to brand. The Wheat market
is active, and is sold at $l,lO to $1,85, as in quality.
Corn commands 55 and 65c per bushel. Oats from 38
to 40c. Barley $1,75. nye from 90c. to $l. Sugar
Ili to do per lb. Choice butter brings 22 and 25c.
Potatoes 65ca$1, as in quality. The above are the
wholesale prices.
The packing season is now about commencing, and
our puckers are in the market• buying hogs. Sales
hav& been effected at $6e56,25, and a small lot at
86,35—the latter being the highest price paid during
the week, but the indications aro that higher figures
will prevriil. A large packing business will be done
at Louisville and around the Fulls this season.
Our city 'was ueyer more healthy than at the pres
ent time. St.. Louis has escaped all epidemics this
year, whilst both in the North and the South some
scourge or other has been at➢icting to a less or great
er degree, the large cities.
St. Louis is destitute of local items of any interest
to your readers. Our citizens, however, have been
greatly annoyed by a gang of thieves now prowling
about, and committing petty thefts in almost every
quarter of our city.
The steamer (Jude Sam" came in collision with
the ••owitzerlaad," in the lower Mississippi river,

Col. Benton and Col. Bouipban—the latter to suc

safe to say—•w for the wagon." The Whig mem
bers, and the Whigs of Jefferson City, and surround
ing country, held a mass meeting, for the purpose of
breathing new life into the carcass of Whiggery—
writ= already smells to heaven. At this meeting a
string of resoiutions ' as long as the moral law, was
offered, and upon the adoption of which much dis
elusion ensued, and the meeting finally broke up,
leaving no one to understand what had taken plane;
whether the resolutions were received or rejected;
whether the Whig party liveth or not. But m.
thing was certain, the “dootors disagreed" as to
whether life remained or not. The lineiv•Nothing
and Whig politicians of this State, belonging to the
same family, are beginning to show strong symptom
for •.ruling the roost, or a muss."
They now have exciting times in Kansas, and a
civil war, as almost every body anticipated would
be the result, beecis to be going on in that Territory.
As near as .1 can conic at the cause of the disturban
am and the facts in the case, are briefly these :
Some difficulty occurred between two men concern
ing a .'claim"—one a Free State mau, and the other
(Coleman) Pro-Slavey. Words passed between the
pasties, and Coleman was ordered to vacate the
claim, which he refused to do, when the other level
ed his rifle at him, but it missed fire, whereupon
Coleman shot his assailant, who died immediately.
Coleman gave himself up. Coleman's, with several
other houses belonging to Pro-Slavery men, were
burned to the ground. Jones, the Deputy Marshal,
arrested the ring-leaders, and took them to .Lecomp
ton—(the scene of disturbance being near Hickory
Point.) The friends of the murdered man, whose
name is not given, turned out in large numbers,
armed to the teeth, and demanded the release of the
prisoners and the surrender of Coleman, which was
promptly refused. The mob, by this time, was ex
asperated, and hourly increasing—arriving from all
quarters. A dispatch from Westport, dated the 28th,
says :—"Last night tiov. Shannon ordered out the
militia against Lawrence. They are now in open
- rebellion against the laws, and Jones; (the Sheriff of
Lawrence county,) is in danger.
The last accounts report large numbers gathering
at Lecompton, to offer their services to the tiovernor.
Many Missourians have left for Kansas, and warm
work is expected. A letter dated the 29th, from
Shawnee Mission, says "a number of the citizens of
Hickory Point are missing, and sixteen or more
houses have been burned." Jones, 'the Sheriff of
Lawrence county, has sent to Missouri for a wagon
load of ammunition, and for muskets and cannon.—
A cannon was obtaksted at Independence, and imme
diately sent over. R is also said that the Free State
men are well armed and equipped—drilling five
companies daily on the open prairies, and are deter
mined to fight the battle through this time, either to
conquer or to fall,
As much as such proceedings . are to be deplored,
it is nevertheless a matter that might as well be set
tled now, as at any future period. It must be done
at the risk of life and limb, and no doubt the Free
State, or actual settlers, consider themselves shame
fully abused, and bullied out of their just and legal
rights in more instances than one, which every con
siderate man must admit, and acknowledge that the
actual settlers, and legal voters, of Kansas Territory
have been rode over rough shod, and their rights
trampled upon by "hirelings'.' and "bullies," ready
nd ripe for anything and everything to serve their
r a
masters. The settlers submitted to this; they were
driven from the election polls; hooted at and ridi
culed by ruffians and men wholly unfit to govern
their own passions. They were drove like sheep from
one place to another—some were lynched—some sent
down the river on a raft—several tarred and feath
ered—printing presses destroyed, and their owners
and editbrs ordered to leave the country at the peril
of their lives, ‘tio. All this, and more, too, were they
obliged to submit to, because they feared that the
citizens of the entire State of Missouri were plotting
plans to exterminate them from the land and coun
try they had adopted for their future homes. They
now know better, and their numbers . have been
greatly augmented; hence their refusal longer to
submit to the wrongs and outrages committed upon
their persons and property. I repeat, such a state
of things is greatly to be deplored, but if the rights
' of the citizens of Kansas can only be maintained by
civil war and bloodshed, why not enter upon that
war at once, and put to rest the various questions
which do, and always will, excite and lead to diffi
culty ? Let the people of Kansas understand whether
they are to make their own laws, or whether the
Pro-Slavery men of Missouri are to conduct and con
trol the affairs of the Territory, over which they have
no more right than have the people of Illinois to in
terfere with the domestic concerns of Missouri. Let
the matter be settled at once. This, the present, is
as auspicious as any other time. Our latest dates,
from the scene of disturbances, are to the 30th, and
nothing further bad been done up to that date, than
I here communicate, but a boisterous time is appre
hended.
The Know-Nothings of Missouri, have issued an
address to the people of the State, in which they re
affirm and re-endorse the Platform framed by the
K. N. Council, held in Philadelphia, last June.—
This platform, you will remember, caused the North
ern K. N.'s to "bolt" the Convention, and these se
ceders turned out to be dyed-in-the-wool Abolition
ists. The Know-Nothings of the. North, and those
of the South, are about as wide upart in their views,
of what daft: and what should constitute AMERICA.N.
Isu, as one pole is from the other, and there is no
more probability of a union being effected now than
there was at Philadelphia, last June. In the South,
Know-Nothingism consists principally of Catholics
—in the North, they are unworthy of membership.
What a happy time the two wings will have, in com
ing together, on a Presidential candidate. But they
have no axed principles, or regard for the Constitu
tion, or laws of the country, and it would not be
astonishing, to me, to see the owner of SOB negroes
voting for a woolly-headed Abolitionist, of the North,
for President, knowing, as he certainly ought to, the
peril in which his property—his all—us exposed to.
Btranger things than this have come to pass, and as
the old proverb has it, "every one must pay for his
lenrning," so the South will pay dearly, if th e y
support - and elect a Northern Know,Nothing to the
Presidenoy in 'OB, which; however, the Democracy
willendeavor to prevent.

The papers furnish the following interesting
items not contained in the Halifax despatch,

Three magazines belonging to the French

DON'T PAY toe ITSELF.—The present low
rates of postage and the high charges of ocean
mail service keep the Post Office Department
in debt to the General Government, and call
for annually increasing drafts upon the Treas
ury. It is stated, hr advance of the Postmas
ter General's Report, ou what appears relia
ble authority, that the deficit in the Post Office
Department for the present year will be' about
two millions and a_ half of dollars, or some
three-quarters of a million more than last

THE KANSAS ICULTY.—The Washington
Union publishes the call of Gov. Shannon fur
authority to use the United States fbrees at
Leavenworth to preserve the peace of Kansas.
The President, it will be seen, promises to use
all the power vested in the Executive to main
tain order. The President has power, by law,
CM the application of the Executive of a State
.or Territory, to call for the militia of other
States to repress insurrections against the laws
of the State or Territory demanding aid. In
cases where he may employ militia, he may
also call out such part of the land or naval
force of the United States as he may deem
requisite, a proclamation being first necessary
commanding the insurgents to disperse. The
power then to suppress this Kansas outbreak
appearii to he ample. However frantic the
slavery and anti-slavery mobs may be in that
Territory, or however' well armed, we do not
believe that they are prepared to make war
against the authority of the United States. A
proclamation from the President, commanding
the rioters to disperse, will probably carry
force enough with it 'to pit an end to violence.
A conservative Congress could do much to.
wards correcting the unwholesome state of
feeling existing in the Territory. But there
are such factional elements at work in that

pect of affairs imposes on the American gov

This is decidedly the most &actuating, interesting and
really useful and practical work on Courtship, Matrimony,
and the duties and delights of Married Life, that has ever
been issued from the American press. The artificial social
system, which in so many instances prevents a union of
hearts, and sacrifices in conventionalism the happiness and
even the lives of thousands of the young and hopeful of
both sexes, is thoroughly analysed and exposed. Every
one who contemplates marriage, and wishes for an Infalli

chase this great text book of connubial felicity.

—YOUNG EMPEROR. This Superior Young Animal
will stand ready for service at the stable of the subscriber,
on the New Holland pike, ono mile from Lancaster, at tho
rate of $2 the season.
Young Emperor was gotten by a full blooded Durham
Bull, called Emperor,
which was imported from England in
1845 by Col. Isaac Carsons, of Westfield, Massachusetts, and
by whom Young Emperor was raised. He is out of a cow
of the Purest Ayrshire Blood, which was also imported from
England by Mr. John A. Taintor, of East Hartford, Con
necticut, she having cost Mr. Taintor f 350 in England; and
the sire of Young Emperor cost 51500 in England.
Young Emperor was three yearn old last Spring, and
weighed 1850 pounds on the Ist of November, 1865. He hoe
never failed of taking the Brat premium for three successive
fairs, as a yearling 2 years old and 3 years old. His stock
has always commanded the highest prices. And he stands
ready to exhibit himself as a specimen of the Finest Thor
ough Bred Cattle in America.
To farmers desirous of improving their stock, this offers
an opportunity seldom to be met with.

LETTER FROM ST. MARY'S ELK CO,
Penn'., Relative to the Ridgway Company's . and.—To
TUE EDITORS OP TIM PUBLIC LEDGER. On account of the im
portance of the public directing more of their attention to
agricultural pursuits, we take pleasure in publishing the
following letter:
Messrs. Editors i—Gentlemen—Allow me, among many
others who have addressed you from this place, through the
medium of your paper, to give the public some information.
It is given by mo in ood faith, and nothing can be found
therein, that cannot be fully rolled upon. The motives I
have in writing this letter, are first, I know that many per
sous living in large cities labor and live very economical,
and yet at the end of the year, they are • where they com
menced and not e cent better of. Every change has an in
fluence upon them, and when a dear and hard time sets in,
they are thrown out of employment, and their wives and
children have to suffer. Their living is expensive, rents
high, fuel more than dear, whilst their wages are small, sod
as small as they are, they are often unable to obtain work.
Now see the contrast in this country. Rents are almost
nothing—living is cheap, work plenty, fuel costs nothing
but the cutting, and if you do not feel disposed to cut your
wood you can take your grubbing bee and dig coal. Again,
secondly, if you are a man of family, your. children, in a
country like this, are not exposed to the thousand snares
that are thrown In their way in a city. We may walk in
our streets, from week to week, and will scarcely hear a
profane word, and we will meet with none of the drunken
ness, temptations and rowdyism, you have la your largo
cities.
We have the best of Schools, and our boys and girls, eve
ry one, have their engagements when they return home, so
that the opportunities thrown in their way to associate ith
the profane, wicked and bad, are completely cut off. Again,
thirdly. I know many persons in your cities, who have spent
their youth and manhood, and after arriving at old age, are
compelled to be renters, and in case of sudden death, the
only prospect of their families is the Almshouse or depen
dence upon strangers. How different here! Every man
has his own home. If a mechanic, he raises enough of po
tatoes vegetables and corn to keep him, and the time thus
spent Is scarcely missed, and is more a pleasure than other
wise. And let your habitation be ever so humble, it is still
a home; and there is more real happiness and security in
your own home, than in the finest hones, with rent day be
fore you. I speak of,these things understandingly, as
myself, was a mechanic in Philadelphia, where I have nay
acquaintances, and though I worked herd and stinted my
self-1 could just keep my head above water—as is usually
said --by the skin of my teeth." I came to this place four
years ago, I have succeeded in building a snug house—have
plenty to do—plenty to eat—plenty to wear, and I am con
tented and happy. Nothing would induce me to return
again to the excitement and dangers of the city. I have
been induced to write these line; because I believe that a
fair representation upon the subject may benefit hundreds,
and may lead many to come and see for themselves.
The land here is fertile and a good limestone soil, and well
adapted for raising all the greins. For a grazing or stock
country, nothing better can be wanted. Almost every me
chanic keeps hie own cow, which feeds through the summer
months in the woods, which make first rate pasture.
As for coal, I have never seen a place more abundantly
supplied. Yon can find it everywhere. I know of six or
eight coal mines opened in the vicinity of the borough, and
even some in the limits of the borough. I believe the whole
tract to be underlaid with coal. I would recommend miners
and others interested in coal to come up and make exami
nation for themselves. On account of the great market we
will soon have, the land, I believe, will greatly raise in val
ue on that account.
I have frequently found iron ore in going over the lands,
though I)aave not seen any developments. There le a bank
opened ani short distance, but I have not been there to see
it.
Limestone is plenty everywhere.
The timber cannot well be excelled. -It is very valuable,
being large and thrifty, and of the beet quality, such as
cherry, maple, oak, hickory, pine, hemlock, beech, chanut
Am I never saw better timber anywhere, and I have seen
a good deal.
Oar community is getting along fast. The farmers are
getting well Mr, sad the mechanics aro well doing. They
have steady work, goad pey, and no doctor bills to keep
them poor, Ror a healthier place cannot be found. -
I have written with no other view than to show that the
induettipus mechanic who has a bard way to get along in
the city would do well to come here. .
