THE I.M1II OV THE HANKS OF THE OHIO. Thou pure diding river, once mure f behold Mice' Afain I return to thy wavt beaten -horn The shadows of eve in their mantle enfold me, V. hilc lonely I stand on ihy margin once more. Tlijr wateri flow on, but the forms that so lightly , Once roamed on thy green banks no longer are there. Where the wild flowrs bloomed in their beauty tr, hrishtly And shed their perfume on the mild maimer airHow oft on thy bosom my bnik, lichtly glidinc. Has stemmed the pure billows that lave thy bright shore. And while the clear water it prow wa dividing It bounded us light as the heart that it bore. Long, long had I lived on thv banks unmolested. And honed to remain 'till life's sun should decline. With my children and comrades contented I rested, Till forced by invasion our homes to resign: The pile face rejoiced, when he saw u? retiring, From the croves of our fathers in moumtul array; And when he beheld the poor Indian expiiine, He smiled, while lilc'i tide was fast ebbing away. Hut thou, senile river, no more will J leave thee! JNe'er as;aiii will I stray from thy bright, blissful shore Beneath thy pure waves which now shall receive me, I'll rest, wbcr oppression, can reach me no more. ji a n rc trij wurjUm We learn by the Pfew Orleans price cunent of April 1G, that com shelled a rut ; in sacks in that market, is worth no more thn G2J cents per bushel and that in the ear no more than 37 1-2 cents per barrel For one or two seasons pat this ar tide has borne a high price in that market at least tnice as much as what it is norr anoted st, anil in miny instances three limes the amount. This has enabled those who have been in the. trade to make money and inrluce many others to embark in it, tind furnish a snpeiabuo dant supply , w hich has knocked down the -prices that all will suder loss, and some will no doubt be bankrupt for the lilj.e being. True, a pressure in the currency, may have operated in a degree, but even tiniler this pressure, let it have been everso severe, we see pr.rk and beef maintain ing a high price in the same market. This shows plainly that it is the supply and demand that regulate the price-.-not (the scatcity or abundance of money. Now it is evident that were two thirds uf the corn in that market to lie sunt in the M ississippi or otherwise removed, the remaining third would bring as much money as the w hole of it will at the present price. What can more plainly derion-trate the necessity of a division of a labor arnng our farmerf Kor is tliereany acfc of profitable objects to turn their attention to. The diversity of our soil invites the production of variety and, experience shows, and present (acts demonstrate that in the production of rat ious commodities, there is rich reward. The sle of thirty-one head of the im proved stwrk of cattle, counting of cows, calves, heifers, steers, oxen Lc. hroouht within a traction ol five thousand oojiars Ilemp worth 10 per hundie ' and many oiher a i tides, bear an equal alue. It has also been demonstrated Ilia! the cultivation of silk even in the eastern dates, where neither the soil nor climate j as well adopted to it culture as that ol Jndiana, yields a gieater profit than any other product.
