The returns in Kentucky are of hogs over si 'mouths old on the 10th of January enc year,, and in Ohio of hops over six months old on the 1st of April each yeur. in Jum tucky we find over one million hog ov six months on the 10th of January, 1857 and ip Ohio, if the increase in the otunti not vet heard from is the same as it is in those reported, there were 2,184,323 hop over it months old on the 1st of Inst April mliana and ilinois bad no doubt three. that it vvill ho seen the funnlv of animal;) is ample. Out then it is said, and truly that hogs are swept away by the , hijf choleru at a frightful rate. 1 his, liowfv er, is confined to few localities, chiefly in the'vicinitv of distilleries, and we feci safe in saying that the whole number carried l this way fur the year ending December 31 1837, will not exceed one hundred thousand or, even if it ahould reach one humlredarid fifty thousand, it could not diminish seri ously the number brom;lit to market. This will ra obvious to anv person iitvt thi,re- aoel(rM that io Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana uud Xifinuia." there were over air million of hngssix month old and upwards on the lit of lest April. We think we mav assume now, without four of contradiction, that the uppiv i' I hogs is ample. i.

U it be true that the country has doubled jn value since 1840, then ihia W wcca paner money may ba con aide red well founded, and there is oo great . danger of decline, or pressure, and. bank ruptcv ; but who will assume for a moment that this is so T Unfortunately, the banks of this State ft 1 ' 1 1 fiareaiwsys peen resincteu in uieir opera tjons hv.the jvant i'f u sufficient recie ba is. "t wo thirds of our products certain' ,ry one half, including nearly all our cor ton pnd, tobacco, have been exported either ooajtwise or to foreign countries by the Slates of V iryinia and bouth Carolina ; and Ihe bnuksof these btates !iave conscq u nt lr realixed the exchange for theo jiroJuets. 1 bey have banked upon this exchange, Tur tiuhing ortions of our State with a cur rency, thus crippling and confining our own banking Institutions and rendering them Jess able at i crisis like the present to ex tend aid to our business men. . .During the pressure and bankruptcy of 1837 the irginia, bank, following those North, suspended specie payments, and our banks of S uth Carolina remained firm, paving promptly alfdemand upon ihem iu gold. t find, silver or in Northern exchange. .. The present pressure is not the result of poverty, but of overtrading and abuse of the credit system. . The country is re.illy rich in gold and silver, and in tbe sraples which always bring money. What i needed is confidence, and cheerfulness among bu.ii pess men. Our bar.k.i, we trust, will do all they can to break the force of the pressure which is now reachiug us from the North. The brokers will run upon them, as a mat ter oT course, but we hopeuur own citizen will doL ; With a few exception, we can all do as well now as heretoiWe wiih bank Dotes, provided thev are current; and il can be of no substantial benefit to us to demand and obtain the specie, while such a coure Will assuredly add o the embarrasnm-ent of our banking institutions, and thus increase the public dijtre.ss. If the Virginia bank should . suspend, it is -thought that ours will be compelled to follow, We takejt for granted that, if at all possible, they will not suspend speoie payment. But it does not by any means follow that because a. bank auspends specie payments it is insolvent. On the contrary, such a step generally takeo to keep the gold and silver in the Communities w here the banks are located, and as a protection against insolvency. But, if our banks hould suspend, will ; li.-y Erocetd to collect the deb's due them by orrowers i . We supjose not, lor it would pot look w ell in .them to ask others to pay when they themselves refuse to pay. Ail that will be aked, we presume, during thei suspension, will he the 'interest wbiclr'-Biav fall due fiom time to time oti the debts, gain.if ,they should sujiid payment, . will thej' ai the same time cease eutirefv to accommodate the public, by loans? Thi s a question '.ve cannot 8nswert but if thev ," sljoqld thu cea.se, the pressure miisLbe in- treated.- Il is no sulfijient excuse' for su-. , pending that the brokers are running on the .taoks4.uat,is id..be xpeeid it-H 1 limes, and ejpeciallv in a panic like the WHEAT GROWING, la New England th fnnners often raise tt eellsiit " SDriiisr wheat." bv pursuing the follow iug cuure : They plow very dt-sp, and mako ihe soil fine, and uiauurs very peoeruuxly ; tboy svoure the bust teed, they sow two bonne! some t'Bies more to the acre. We have een wheat fields growing, oa the mountain side, io Massac lioaetU, which have yielded thirty buobels to the acre We know one farmer, io that State, who has paid attention to this mutter, ana who says tust thre no difficulty la nosing cxcellant wbcat in abundance in New Kngland. lie has a oiouu- Uia farm huiiclf ; sad yet hs rrcly raises less thaa twsoty fire buhebi to the aura, lie ruiiies Spring wheat only and takes the greatest pains io every respect Such facts as these from New Englaud, are admouitory and eoeorag'ing to oi i of the Wet. All we need to seenre large crops cf wheat ss regularly wheat as other cirjps. is to take duii pain the same rmina that in eireaittuUDees fur leae favorable give to the farmers in bleak ew England good crops of the Sao grain. We woo Id say, then, do the following thing : n Liars vuur land in the best tKusibie condi- tut by draiuage, and the best plowing and hor- bowing. 2. See that it is rich, either naturally, or by the ose of manure. Manure should either be well rutted, or applied with previous cmps. 3.

Sow earlv and cover evenly and well Those are old saggestions, well understood by Dracticed farmers, but a trreat many do not uuderstaiid tbeu ; snd many who do, fail to prac tice thein. We, therefore, insert them now, (while farmers are preparing their ground for wheat) hoping they may be of use. We have no sympathy with the despairing feeling which prompts men to abandon the growing of wheat. Intelligent snd careful culture may secure gener ous crops still. . KItOM WASHINGTON.
