ST. Louts, Dec. 13,1858
The weather has been quite cold, and considerable Ice is
running In the river opposite this city. Navigation in the
upper rivers is pretty generally suspended. The receipts
of Produce are consequently light. and Sales on 'Change
are slow—Flour $3,75 to $6; Wheat from 98 to t 1,22.; Corn
81 to 85c; Oats 77c; Barley 60 to 92%c; Pork $17,25 to $17,-
50; Lard from 10% to Ilc ; Whiskey 26c ; Hides 16c. There
are but few hogs offering, and prime range from $5,75 to
$6,50. The number cat to this date is about 40,000 head.
The largest lisle of lard ever made in this market occur
red on Tuesday last. Messrs. Adams & Bruce, of th:s city,
sold 9000 deices at llc per lb. cash down, deliverable at
several points on the Mississippi, Missouri and Illinois
rivers. The sale amounted to nearly $300,000, and it is
said that the firm cleared about $65,000 on the transaction.
Fleury Linhoff, a few days since shot and killed hls
brother-in-law, Dr. Ed. Van Der itoecke. It °enured during
a family quarrel. It seems that the doctor, who married
Linhoff's sister about a month ago, had a wife living in
the old country; that ho had abused his, Linhoff's sister
after marriage; taken what money she had and squandered
it foolishly. After some sharp words Linhoff drew a pistol
and shot the doctor through the heart, killing him in
stantly. Lluheff then wont to a justice's office and gave
himself up. After being in jail a short time, he was balled

The tiftidnvit of Mr. lietterlo relativo to Mr. 'John A.
Hiestand's letter to Francis P. Blair, in now at our disposal,
and when Mr. Hientand desires it, toe will send it on for
pull c,tlon
The " TiMPS: . the now Democratic paper, made its first
appearance on Tuesday in irning last. Its editorials are
forcibly and ably witten, and its typographiCal appearance
creditable to all conrelmed.
Since the elections of the past summer and fall, editors,
politicians. office-holders, 0111,e-seekers and letter writers.
are casting about and emendating upon the probable chan
ces of the several aspirants for the next Presidency. Each
one seems to have his “ first choice "—his preference. So
much of it is right enough, but when they condemn and
denounce other prominent men, whose names will be pre
sented to the Convention, where their claims will be can_
vassed and their availability considered, and where but
one man can receive the nomination, and that one certainly
will not be the first choice" of each individual, we think
it In exceedingly bad taste, as well as bad policy on the
part of those having a "first choice," to denounce, in ad
vance, all others.
It is one of the great fundamental principles in the
Democratic creed to stand by rcottar nominations, and
more particularly the nominee of the National Conventions-
Wherever the party failed to do this it met with defeat
There is just now much said in regard to the Charleston
Convention, and who will likely receive the National nom
illation of that body; for, the man so nominated, fairly
chosen to be the standard-bearer of the Democratic party
in the great fight of 1860, is equivalent to au election. Our
opponents tell us, and spurious Democrats report it. that
unless this or that man is nominated, defeat will be the
consequence. These are idle words, and should not be
uttered by a man styling himself a Democrat—they are
but fit expressions for our opponents to use, and that only
to cause divisions in our ranks. No Democrat should use
them, and we trust none will, for the nominee of that Con_
vention will be a Democrat in the fall sense of the term—
the choice of two-thirds of the Delegates representing the
several States of the Union, and perhaps the unanimous
choice of all the Delegates. Can a Democrat after such an
endorsement refrain from supporting him, even through his
individual choice lost the race among the different compe
titors? Can they act against the deliberations of that
National body, clothed with the power of expressing the
will and sentiments of the constituents they represent?—
We think not; we hope not; we trust all will be heard in
that Convention, and on will abide its decision. If each
politician has a favorite, none other will answer his pur
pose but him—is it fair, is It reasonable, that he should
enter loins for the prize, and expect all others to be dropped
for his especial benefit? If ho would expos' them to sup
port his choice,if selected as the standard bearer of the party,
should he not with the same propriety and sense of honer
support any other nominated? If you would take, you
should also expect to give.
We say do ail you can for your "first choice" Infore and
in the Convention, but refrain from speaking harshly of
those who will compete with him for the prize. If you
fall, reserve him fur another heat, go to work manfully and
fight for the glorious cause—keep the party pulled, that
when your " first choice" becomes the candidate, the party
will have no divisions to heal, but be so much the Stronger,
leaving no possible chance for a disastrous defeat . Never
despair. You may be beaten this time iu your "first
choice," but a better day is coming.
We had our "first choice," too—we were first, last and
all the time for James Buchanan, our present esteemed and
patriotic Chief Magistrate. In 184,4 he was our " first
choice—he failed iu the Convention, and WO supported
Polk and Dallas, and did what we could for them—being
too young to cast a vote, but knowing enough to stand by
the 1201UiDati •o. In 1848 we ag.tin urged the claims of
James Buchanan; f,Hlin3 again, we took up the banner of
()Ms and Butler-( were not one of those who went over to
Martin Van Baron because our first choice was not the
candidate)—and they received our first Presidential vote •
In 1852 we set out with Mr. Buchanan for our "first choice
defeated the third time—but not dismayed—we advocated
the oleotion of Pierce and and shouted long and
loud over the general result. In 1856 we again entered
the campaign with James Buchanan as our "first choice,''
this, the fourth effort, crowned our favorite with success—
not only In the Convention but throughout the Union in
November following, and to-day finds our "first choice"
occupying the first and highest office In the gift of the
American peep',
We never faltered in our adhesion to the great and on
ward march of Democracy—lo Democratic men and meas,
urea. Polk. was a Democrat; Cass was a Democrat; Pierce
was a Dernomat. as Mr. Buchanan; and while the
latter always bring our' - brat choice." still we went for the
run - nine, and which we intend to do In regard to the
Charleston Convention, and which every good Democrat
will see the necessity of doing when he views the formid
able force of our enemy. arrayed In solid column—compo
sed of greedy office-seekers, and all the fag epds and lame of
the day—against the Democratic party.
We waited twelve years for our first chuice,” won't
others wait half so long? And what is more—an undenia
ble fact—during the four periods above named, neither the
friends of Mr. Buchanan. nor he himself, faltered in the
good cause of Democracy. Not n man of them " bolted "
nut a soul ' gave up the ship." We trust no Democrat has
any other feeling than the succesa of the Democratic party
1980,in . under whomsoever the National Convention at
Charleston may select as the standard-bearer. Let every
Democrat use as his watch-word from this time until after
the next Presidential election—DlE NOMINEEB OF THE

$&- Judge Pearson, of Harrisburg, in a
recent charge to the Grand Jury, said that the
noisy collections of men and boys called
" Calithumpians," who frequently annoy
newly married people, are nuisances, and
subject to severe punishment, and that it is
the duty of constables to arrest those partici
pating in them.
GENERAL NEWS ITEMS,
A BUST PLAce..—The Chicago Press says
that mails are received daily in the post-office
of that city by about twenty arriving trains
and 2500 mails are made up each day. Over
5,000,000 of letters and 6,000,000 papers
were handled during the last quarter.
Hartiusecao,Dec. 17.—A fire at Carlisle,
about three o'clock this morning, entirely
consumed four dwellings and damaged a fifth.
Three of the houses were new brick buildings,
just ab.,ut being finished, the property of J.
Rheem• The other two were frames, the
property of Charles Moore and John Harder.
The fire originated in one of the new buildings,
and was undoubtedly the work of an incendi
ary.
lloartms.—Twelve soldiers deserted from
the army in Utah, and succeeded in reaching
California. Three of them, led by a man of
the name of Burns, murdered the other nine
for the sake of their money. Barns then
proceeded, at night, to cut the throats of his
two accomplices. One he killed. The other
survived, obtained assistance, and gave evi
deuce which led to the arrest of Burns, who is
now in confinement at Los Angeles.
ger The Orange Crop of Louisiana, says
the New Orleans Picayune, " this season is
very large, and the crop is selling from plan
t:iti , ms at from six to eight dollars per thous
and. Last year a planter below the city was
offered, for fifteen hundred dollars, a small
tract of land adjoining his, and which was
planted•with orange trees of full growth.—
He refused, and this season the owner of the
tract in question has sold his orange crop for
three thousand dollars."
THE WILMINGTON RAPE CASE.—Alexander
Robinson who was arrested in Philadelphia
a short time ago on a charge of rape in Dela
ware, having induced a young girl to leave
her home on the pretence her brother was sick
and then committed violence upon her, has
been tried and convicted of the offence, and
sentenced to be hung, it being a capital offence
in Delaware. The execution is fixed for the
11th of February. Another individual was
concerned with him in the affair, who will
also be tried.
TELEGRAPH. TO CUBA..—The Washington
Slates understands that contracts are com
pleted, and that work will be immediately
commenced at Savannah, Georgia, for the
construction of a telegraph line to Fernandia,
Florida, thence by land to Cedar Keys, and
from there to Key West by a submarine cable.
From the latter place, a cable will also be
laid to Cuba. The contractors for this work
will leave New York in a few days for the
field of operations. It iaintended to complete
the line to Key West by nest summer, when
it will be connected with Cuba aslinon as the
cable can be laid.
COL , RF.D Locic.—We recommend the fol
lowing piece of reasoning to the careful
perusal of our logical friends :
" Brudder Pete, did you see him see de log
before you saw him saw it ?"
Pete—" De unintellectual stupidity of some
niggers is perfectly incredulous Why, if I
seed him saw it afore I saw him see it, it's a
consequential ensurance dat he saw he saw'd
it afore he saw he seed it ; therefore, I must
seed it afore I saw'd it; quoddy rat demon
stratum.''
DISEASE AMONG THE HOGS.—The Sanders
ville Georgian says: A disease has made its
appearance among the hogs in some parts of
this county, from which they are dying in
large numbers, as we are inrormed. From
all that we have heard of this disease, we
have no doubt but it is similar to that which
prevailed to such an alarming extent among
the cattle during a part of last Spring and
Summer.
The Boliver (Tenn.) Democrat says that
this disease is playing havoc with the hogs
in that vicinity. Thomas Marsh has lost
about seventy five, and others have lost a
great many. It is a good season for killing
however, and many are availing themselves
of the oppartunity of saving their meat.
HORRIBLE EXECUTION.—The Chinese among
other unique punishments, sometimes sentence
a man to he executed by depriving him of
sleep. A recent letter from a British resi
dent gives the following account of a, Chinese
merchant who, being convicted of murdering
his wife, was condemned to this torture :
" The condemned was placed in prison under
the care of three of the police guard, who re
lieved each other every alternate hour, and
who prevented the prisoner from falling asleep,
night or day. He thus lived for nineteen days
without enjoying any sleep. At the com
mencement of the eighth day, his sufferings
were so intense that he implored the authori
ties to grant him the blessed opportunity of
being strangulated,guillotined,burued to death,
garroted, shot, quartered, blown up with gun
powder, or put to death in any conceivable
way which their humanity or ferocity could
invent. This will give a slight idea of the
horrors of death from want of sleep."
THE GRAIN AND PORK TRADE.—During the
last week, the grain trade has somewhat im
proved, and some extensive sales have been
made. The receipts and shipments have both
been small. The total receipts of the season
amount to 22,600,000 bushels of grain, includ
ing flour; and the total shipments to 19,700,-
000 bushels of grain, including flour. The
receipts of this year are three millions of
bushels larger than in 1857; and the ship.
merits lakewise exceed those of that year by
about the same amount. The closing prices
of yesterday were, for No. 1 red winter wheat
$1 08a1 10 ; for No. 1 spring at 81a83c. in
store ; and No. 2 spring at 64a66c. in store.
The pork and provision market, after having
had a range of very high prices, has now mod
erated. The closin g prices of yesterday were,
for heavy dressed hogs $6 00 per 100 lbs ;
light ditto $5 25 per 100 lbs ; for heavy live
hogs $5 25 per 100 lbs. live weight, equal to
$6 56 nett, and for light ditto $4 75a5 00 per
100 lbs. live weight.— Chicago Times of Toes

DEAR WINES.-A sale of wines, at auction,
by a Mr. Gratz, of Philadelphia, is reported
in the Philadelphia Bulletin of Wed
nesday, the prices of which will astonish
the " natives." Two demijohns of " Grape
juice," containing 44 gallons each, imported
in 1839, brought $4l each. Other lots brought
from $6 to $17,50 a gallon. One demijohn,
containing four gallons, and styled in the
catalogue " Butler Wine, No. 18, purchased
by Mr. Gratz at the sale of the Butler Wine
in 1838," was sold for $BO, after brisk
bidding. It was stated that Mr. Gratz gave
$155 a demijohn for this very wine.
ATLANTIC CABLE.-A. despatch from Boston
says that the most conclusive evidence exists,
that the whole representation made in the
papers of this country, and simultaneously in
the London papers, on the 17th of August last,
respecting the transmission of the alleged first
message of the Directors, giving " Glory to
God," &c. ; and of the Queen's message to the
President of the United States, was false, and
a fraud upon the public of the two countries ;
and that other no ,ess fraudulent representa
tions of the working of the cable, are suscepti
ble of proof and exposure.
fter A new cent has recently been struck
at the Philadelphia Mint, to be submitted to
the Secretary of the Treasury for approval or
rejection. It is said to be a decided improve
• meet on the " nickel " now in use, although
I composed of the same material. On one side,
instead of the outrageously ugly bifd repre
senting the bird of liberty, is a beautiful
head very similar to that on the three dollar
gold coin, whilst the reverse is similar to that
of the cent now being coined.

CLERICAL ESTIMATES OF THE HAPPY HOME.
CRE:CE,r PLACE, BOSTON, Sept. 23d, 1555.
. .
A few numbers of an interesting Periodical have been
recently put into the hands of the subscriber. It bears
the title of The Happy Horne," and has reached its
Eighth Volume, S vo. The Proprietor arid Publisher is
the Rev. Cyrus Stony formerly a missionary of our Ameri
can Board on the Western coast of India.
The title itself is attractive and excites curiosity. For
who is not concerned to secure such s possession? But,
on opening and perusing the diversified volume, the secret
is soon betrayed and developed. It is found that. with
manifest good judgment, the work is engaged in laying the
foundation of such a structure as its. name imports. in the
early religions education of youth—making the happiness
of Home to consist in all that which, according to the in
fallible testimony of I lin word, is calculated to obtain the
approbation and secure the blessing of Almighty God.
In India Mr. Stone had opportunity to notice diligence
of Ilindoo mothers in training up their children for idol
worship. The early beginning of this course, and their
persevering assiduities in continuing it, until it because
habitual, struck him forcibly. Ile could not but contrast
with it the lax, intermitted. heartless. ineffective efforts of
many even professed Christians. And since his return to
his native land, the importance of early religious education
has, more than ever, impressed his mind, as that which
~ l ays the axe at the root of the tree," with respect to all
of evil influence, and at the sense time assists the growth
and development of all that is good.
The work is not, however, simply didactic, moral, relig
ious, Its plan is comprehensive, and accommodated to
the necessities of the times and of our country. Miscel
laneous articles, original and selected, diversify its pages,
which admit music, literary crilicism, botany, hints of
domestic economy, occasional recipes of various applica
tion, interesting Scripture biography. remarks on the
preservation of health, selected and original poetry, and,
in general, whatever may tend to benefit the rising youth
of America, and qualify them. with the blessing of God, to
discharge intelligently, faithfully and successfully, the
high duties of manhood and womanhood which mutt soon
devolve upon them.
The subscriber, therefore, ventures to commend the
work to the consideration of parasite, in the belief that.
wherever it is admitted, it will do its dole of duty in for
warding and securing that which gives it its title—a "hap
py home." WM. JENKS,
Late Pastor of the Green street Church, Boston.
M7A=21112
From my acquaintance with the Rev. C. Stone, and the
knowledge I have of the ohjects of the work, of which he
is the proprietor and publisher. I have great confidence in
commending it to the favorable attention of ail to whom
it may be offered, as a help in making a happy home.
G. W. BLACIDEN,
Senior Pastor of Old South Church, Boston.
Some numbers of the "Happy Home' have passed un
der my notice, and I heartily concur in the opinion of its
merits expressed by Drs. Jenks and Blagden.
J. M. MANNING,
Junior Pastor of Old South Church.
Having, as an Editor, opportunities of comparison
among various publications intended for the family, I am
of opinion that the Happy Home" stands, in point of
general adaptation to its purpose, at the head of that list.
HENRY M. DEXTER,
Pastor of the Pine street Church and Editor of the Con•
gregationalis t.:'
It seems to me that it will a fortunate thing when this
pleasant Periodical gets entrance into all our families and
contributes its influence to realize its own title to the
scenes which it helps to nurture.

PROSPECTUS FOR THE YEAR 1 8 5 9
The proprietor of the NEW YORK LEDGER is gratified
at having it in his power to announce in his Prospectus for
the new year-1809—that all the uld popular and eminent
writers of the LEDGER staff have been retained, and new
ones added. Among the latter we are pleased to mention
the name of the Hon. EDWARD EVERETT, who is to
furnish a series of articles, to be continued during the en
tire year, under the title of "THE MOUNT VERNON
PAPERS." For these articles alone we have already paid
Mr. Everett (for the benefit of the Ladies' Mount Vernon
Association) the sum of TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS.
As an indication of the popularity of the LEDGER, we
need only state the simple fact that its circulation is
larger than that of any other TEN literary papers in the
country. Its great success is owing to the facts that its
proprietor secures the best writers in the country, and
spares no expense in getting up the BEST FAMILY
PAPER—a paper of high moral tone. The exalted re?u
tation of its contributors, the practical and invariably pare
and h.lthy character of all its articles, the care which is
taken that not even one offensive word shall appear in its
columns, and the superiority of its Mies and sketches.
have gained for the NEW YORK LEDGER a position that
no literary paper has ever before reached. We feel, and
always hove felt, since the LEDGER attained its immense
circulation, that a heavy responsibility rests upon us, and
have endeavored to discharge that responsibility conscien
tiously. feeling confident that ultimately we should receive
the thanks of thousands and tens of thousands of famines.
As to the future, we are at a loss what to say. We pre
fer to PERFORM rather than to PROMISE. What we have
heretofore done is known to our readers; they know what
the LEDGER has been, and is now. and must therefrom
judge what it will be hereafter. We can only say that
among the regular contributors to the LEDGER are:
GEORGE D. PRENTICE, FANNY FERN.
JOHN G. SAXE. MRS. SIGOURNEY,
SY LVANUS COBB, JR., MRS. SOUTH WORTH,
EMERSON I3ENNETT, ALICE CARY,
T. S. ARTHUR, EMMA ALICE BROWNE,
W3l. ROSS WALLACE, SALLIE M. BRYAN,
CARLOS D. STUART, MARY STAN LEY GIBSON,
COL. W. B. DUNLAP, AUGUSTA MOORE,
and many eminent Lawyers, Clergymen. Professors In Col
leges, and others, who write for the LEDGER anonymous
ly; and that our complete arrangements are such that the
current expenses of the LEDGER are now, and will con
stantly be, at the rate of over three hundred thousand dot.
tars per annum.
FACTS like these carry with them more weight than
any comments that could be made, and comments will
therefore be dispensed with. As we have already Intl ma
ted, we shall leave promising to those who prefer to expend
their force in that way, and content ourselves with doing
