The hoofs of the cavalry have bren

Position of Caleb Cashing.— Ytie N n th
ern papers published ihc so losing letter
from Caleb Cashing to Dahi:-::. Muter,
dated March 5, 1863 ;
I hear that some political u e is made
in New Hampshire of a report attributing
to me a speech delivered not long si. ee
in New. York, at a meeting held to pro
mote the project ol Mr Eli Thayer for
the forcible colonization of Florida, and
I write to say that the report is, ol
course, an erroneous one, and that the
speech in question was delivered by Mr
Cassius M. Clay.
How this crude utterance came to be
ascribed to me it impossible for me to
conjecture. Nor is that important to
know. Suffice it to siy that the speech
is not mine in fact, and that its opinions
are not my opinions. I reprobate alike
its arguments and its objects. The same
mischievous plans brought upon us the
cause of Kansas.
This-new Emigrant Aid Company be
long to that base brood of pestile schemes
of policy toward the insurgent States
Subjugation, confiscation, coloriz tiki,
emancipation, devatation, ex ermimtion
which sounds like the delirous ravings
of bedlam let loose, which, if carried in
to actual opera* ion would, in their ulti
mate effect, m >st of all injure the loyal
States, and which tend to cause a great
national uprising, entered upon by us
for the maintenance of the Constitution
and the Union, to sink down into a mtr c
desperate struggle of suicidal blind rage
®f self destruction—the abolition of the
Constitution and the overthrow of the
Union by our fatal hand, not that of cur
encores. This gospel of death, this
radical destructiveness, is the only prac
tide dieunionism existing among us in
the loyal States. Through it makes be
lieve support, it fiercely opposes the
Administration; it is in deadly hostility
to the freedom, prosperity and happiness
of the people; it is treasonable conspira
cy against the government.
May God in his mercy confound all
such disloyal counsel, that thus—for
thus only can it be—the Union shall be
strengthened and shielded to pass un
scathed through this its second baptism
of blood and firs, and our suffering coun
try be enabled to repose once more in
peace under the broad shadow cf the
Constitution.

Prices ix the Northwest.—The N. Y.
Her-.dd lias the f Bowing attic c on this
subject.
, Before the war the price of a mule in
Illinois was one hundered and twenty
five dollars in gild. At present, not
withstanding the great demand for the
a iioal in our army, the price is only
sixty dollars in depr. ciated currency
The same is true of ot-lier .agricultural
piv ducts. A late number of a Minnesota
journal quotes prices th-re as follows:
*• Flour four dollars per barrel ; corn
15 cents per bushel ; dressed hogs $3 s
25 cents per hundred ; hums four cents
per pound ; butter ten cents per pound
eggs eight cents per doz ; and other
articles equally low. In the river eotin
ics of lowa beef is only §2,50 c-nts- por
hundied pounds, and in the same State
hist winter, not a hundred miles from
ti e Mississippi, pork was s-Id dressed
at not lesa than a dollar per hundred.
It is certainly not cheaper now.”
