Large Pork Transactions.—The Chicago Inter-Ocean says: “ Messrs. Plankington, Armour & Co., of Milwaukee, have the credit of making the largest sale of mess pork < ever reported in the West—20,000 barrels seller July at $13, to Messrs. Wm. Young & Co., of this city, on July 4. Previous to that time the largest trade on record was 10,000 barrels, sold by Col. John L. Han cock to Messrs. Gilbert Pryor & Co., at $25, about three years ago. Some little anxiety has been expressed in re- 1 gard to the stock of mess pork in the West, now that the direction of the shipments are toward this city. From the best information we can obtain, the stocks are estimated as follows :— Chicago 90,000, Cincinnati 72,000, Louisville 15,000, St. Louis 20,000. New Orleans 26,00 Milwaukee 12,- 000, Missouri and Mississippi river towns 20,000, in transit for Chicago 7,000—total 268,000 barrels.” The Protector Fruit Jar, the Cheapest—at E. E. Jones’.

This Exposition will attract to Louisville thousands of people from every section of the West and Southwest, and an opportunity will be enjoyed of examin ing the evidences of the great progress made in this country iu the arts, in ventions and manufactures. Nearly every State in the Union will exhibit its work, and consumer and manufac turer will be enabled to judge of the wants and resources of the country.— Reduced fare on railroads and steam boats has been arranged, and ample hotel accommodations secured for all who attend. The Louisville Exposi tion Building covers nearly an entire square in the heart of the city, is built of brick, and will seat on the first floor alone nearly 20,000 people. The nat ural beauty of Louisville at this sea son of the year, her perfected arrange ments for entertaining her visitors economically and agreeably, and the opportunity of seeing the businessmen of the country—the men who arc the basis of its unexampled progress—will attract all classes to the Exposition during the season.

Of four cases advanced, England repudiates three, and in the 4th she contends that the Admiralty acted promptly, al though the police hestitated to tnku the proper steps to prevent her de parture. The court is also considering the question of allowing interest on amounts awarded. It is stilted that a majority of the hoard an- unfavorable to such allowance.

The bill repealing annual appropria tions to the State Agricultural Society, was lost in the House. Ayes 54, nays 57. Capt. McMillan spoke earnestly against rejieal, and regretted that the Society did not receive $10,000 yearly. A bill regulating official advertising, requiring advertisements inserted in papers having the largest circulation, and to be paid in advance, also pro hibiting county officers from receiving commissions, was discussed and laid on the table. The report of the Judiciary Cora- ir ittee that this is not the time to elect State House officers, or to appoint Su- perior Court Judges, was adopted.

Senator Schitrz states in his St. Louis speech that two friemls of the President approached him on the sub ject of the Dominican treaty. They communicated to him the great desire of the President to secure his support of the treaty, and assured him that he could have in return any patronage he wanted. It seems that some St. Louis partisans are rather sore under this statement and have telegraphed to Washington, Long Branch, or wher ever his Excellency may he, for a denial of it. We have the denial already, and then we will sec what we shall sec. We have entire confidenc that it will turn out as did another celebrated case in which Grant played a conspicuous part. We allude to his surrender of the war office to Stanton. Johnson wished to test the constitut ionality of the Tennre-of-Offiec act in the courts, after the Senate had de cided that Stanton should be restored, and the only way to do it was for Gen. Grant—the Secretary of War ad in terim—to resist Stanton’s reinstate ment and thereby force hint to appeal to the courts. Gen. Grant professed to be in full accord with Johnson, and suggested to him this mode of proce dure. Under this promise, Johnson rested easy till he learned that Grant had handed over the keys to Stanton without even a protest. Of course, Johnson was indignant, and charged Grant with had faith and a forfeiture of his word. Knowing Johnson’s unpopularity with the Radicals, to whom he was looking for a Presiden tial nomination, Grant flatly denied that he had ever made such a promise. Johnson soon brought up his batteries and silenced Grant’s gun. He proved by four members of his Cabinet that Grant hail lied, and right there the matter stands to this day. It is a matter of record that Ulysses’ word wou’t do to bet on.—Courier Jour nal. Gen. Pleasanton has written to Schurz, confirming the statement of the latter, and says if the President denies it lie shall regret it, but it will not be the first time the country has witnessed the defective character of the President’s memory. This from one who has been commissioner of in ternal revenue, under the President, is rather severe. Greeley as a Journeyman. 2he Vflnte-Headed Lanky Boy Who Set lyjie.for Sfr. RedfieM. The follotriug letter apj>ears in the New York Democrat: From 1831 to 1834 I was carrying on the business of stereotyping at 216 William street, and most of the time was employing a great many composi tors, not a few of whom have since earned a large share of fame in the world. From the days of Franklin even to those of Greeley the compos ing room lias graduated its full quota of the men who have distinguished themselves in the history of the coun try. Why shouldn’t thc be incorporated, have a faculty, aid j thc authority to outer degrees?— Why shouldn’t it make LL. D.’s as well as Old Harvard ? It was in 1832 or 1833, I thiuk, that being at one time much in need of more compositors, I asked those in the office to let the fact be known at their respective hoarding houses.— Among others who applied for work in response to this call was a queer looking chap brought in by one of the hands in the office. He was of rather more than medium height; his hair was almost white, his face quite so, and entirely beardless, and he walked with shuffling and uncertain gait.— He wore a very old white hat, and fustian pantaloons which did not cotne down to his boots, and these complet ed a personalty which I had never before met with in a compositor, and turning to Seymour, who brought him in, I inquired if that fellow was a compositor. He replied, “ He’s a queer-looking fellow ; but they say he’s a good workman.” Being too much in want of help to be very particular about the personal appearance of a compositor, I gave hint a ease and copy, and you may judge of my sur prise when I tell you that his weekly bills exceeded by from thirty to fifty per cent, those of the other composi tors by his side who were on the same work. And what was cquall remark able, no matter how rapidly he picked up the type with his fingers, the stream of talk that rolled from his tougue was uninterrupted. He talked incessantly. M hen lie made out his first bill I learned that his name was Horace Greeley. In those days he was a compositor, and lie was a good one. He set type rapidly and made a clean proof. When lie was a young man he did his work well, and now that he is an old one, and there is a big “ take” ahead to give out, I propose that we give it to him. J. 8. Redkiei.d.

The Murderer of Palmer.—In Gainesville, oil Sunday, we heard that the murderer of Mr. Marmaduke Pal mer has been arrested, and is now in jail at Cleveland, in White county.— It was stated that the party has con fessed that he murdered Palmer—that he did it for pay—and that he has also murdered two or three others, for which he was also paid. The name of the man arrested wc did not ascertain. It is to be hoped that the news is true. Mr. Palmer, as brave and true a man as ever lived, the readers of the Sun will remember, was waylaid aud assassinated in the most cruel and murderous manner, and society will be benefited and will rejoice at the con viction of the man who committed the crime. If, as was reported, he claims to have been hired to commit the aw ful crime, it is hoped that he will_re veal the names of those who hired him, that they may share in the punish ment, as they shared in the murder.— Atanta Sun. The Standard BITTERS, DURIAIT Thc Profits of Sheep Husbandry in thc Sontb. ; I have intended for some time, giv ing you a short article on my favorite hobby, Merino Sheep, but concluded to wait until after wc had shorn our sheep, so that I could speak from the facts of the profits of the sheep busi ness. From the close of lambing time last year, we had about three hundred sheep, consisting of what we consider full bloods, (as they were descended on both sides from sheep brought front the North,) high grades and all sorts, down to a few half bloods. These sheep were pastured on uncultivated fields just as they were left to rest, without any preparation, until the corn fields were opened in the fall. They were wintered on turnips, cotton seed and barley straw, with an occasional turn on the fall oats and barley, when the land was dry enough, which w is not very often, as the winter was usually raiuy. The lambs were drop ped in December and January, when they, with their dams, were allowed the run of a clover field, part of each clear or dry day. Our grass came in unusually late last spring, so that we had to feed longer than usual, but I am confident that our sheep have cost us not over one dollar a head for the entire year, from May to May, inclu sive of lambs, their feed is included with their dams. In May we sheared two hundred and seventy-three, (the flock having been reduced by sales, death and mut ton, to that number,) yielding sixteen hundred and eighty-four pounds, (1684 lbs.,) over six pounds each, and we have about one hundred and twen ty-five lambs. These lambs are worth twice the cost of keeping the flock ; but say they pay expenses, we certainly have the wool and manure, clear, and the latter is quite an item, to us, worth I think, one hundred dollars. Al though this is much more than we make in any other way, in proportion ia ,he mo,t to investiment and labor, yet it is not up to the full capacity of a full blood ed flock. While a common sheep will only give you from one-aud-a-half to three pounds of coarse wool, their lambs by heavy fleeced Merino rams, will about double the yield of their dams, and gradually increase in weight and value as they grade up to the Me rino. We sheared twelve ram*, eight of which were small yearlings, which averaged ten pouuds, varying from eight to twelve and three-quarters.— I mention these details, to show what has been done here, on what may be called old field pasture in summer, with tolerably fair care and feed in winter. Most of the labor has been done by my two little sons, under thir teen years old, and myself. During lambing time they need almost con stant attention day and night.
