Tobacco.
As some difference of opinion exists among
business men as to the quantity of Tobacco
on band in this market—some supposing that
the amount would reach 20,000 boxes
yesterday took the pains to call at twenty
seven houses, and found the total amount to
be 8,740 boxes. The largest house had on
hand 760, and tbe least 12 boxes.
There is probably some stored away, not
included in this report, but we think this
fair estimate of Ibe quantity on band.
We look for « lively trade fo consumers
trom this time, as there is but little in any
nunfry store.

carrying out the objects of these movements,

Executive Office, \
Richmond, Va , April 22, 1863. /
Messrs. C U Wiley, J. D. Cambell and If. J.
Palmer, Raleigh, N. C.,
Gentlemen :—I have the honor to acknowl
edge your invi'ation to attend a meeting to be
held in Columbia, S. C, to deliberate upon
the best method of supplying text boobs for
schools and colleges, and promoting the pro
gress of education in the Confederate States
The object commands my fullest sympathy, and
has for many years attracted my earnest con
sideration.
It would be difficult to over-estimate the in
fluence of primary books in the promotion of
character, and the development of mind. Our
form of Government is only adapted to a vir
tuous and intelligent people, at.d there can be
no more imperative duty of the generation
which is passing away, tbautbatof providing
for the moral, intellectual and religious cul
ture of those.who are to succeed them. As a
general proposition, it may, I think, be safely
asserted that all true greatness rests upon vir
tue, and that religion is in a people the source
and support of virtue. Tbe first impressions
on the youthful mind are to its subsequent
current of thought what the springs aro to
Ibo river they form, and I rejoice to know that
fhe fsskof preserving these educational springs
in parity, haS been devolved upon men so
qualified to secure the desired result. I have
only to .regrot my inability to meet you be
cause it deprived me of the pleasure your As
sociation would give.
WitL my best wishes, Ian), very respectful
Iv, f cur fellow-citizen,
JEFFERSON DAVIS.
from the diligent exertion of all classes, in
their appropriate spheres, for the pnblio wel
fare; and after those who labor in religious
things, no portion of tho community can ac
complish more for national development than
these who, under Providence, direct the
hearts and minds of tho rising generation
We need not enggest to you the great advans
tagesinour work ot mutual counsel and coop
eration* By coming together in national and
State Associations tbe teachers and friends of
education gain important information of each
other and foam the wants and progress of differ
ent sections; they animate and encourage one
another to greater efforts, while by this means
injurious prejudices are worn away, a national
and catholic spirit is fostered, and the education
al forces of the country are so united and direct
ed as.greatly to enhance iheir influence and to
secure that respect and consideration which they
deserve.
In the name of our National Association we
invite your attention to the above statement and
suggestions, and we venture t6 express the hope
that you will heartily aid in promoting the uses
fulness of the movements now sOcbqspieiioiisty
inaugurated in our beloved country.
The next meeting ofthe Association will take
place in Atlanta, Georgia, on. the first Wedness
day in September next, and in the meantime you
are invited freely to communicate with those of
us who reside in your respective Slates and thus
to,enable us, if you cannot attend, this meeting,
to report your views in regard to the subjects
herein embraced.

would be danger of their being cutoff on their
riturn, it was already on the programme, if they
met with no unexpected resistance at the thresh
old, to push through to Baton Rouge. This, it
will be remembered, wax the kind of project at.
tempted in Virginia, but foiled! by Jeb. Stuart at
Kelly's Ford. The mischief they might bo able
to accomplish on the road was probably but a
secondary coneidcrtion, the primary object be
ing to reconnoitre the country -and explore tho
route for a more'formidable force, which, as we
have already received intimations, is on foot.—
There is little reason to doubt the truth of this
report, and unless an effective force is provided
to protect the rich planters of Oktibbeha,
Lowndes, Monroe and Chickasaw counties, so
that the farmers can secure large corn crops, the
most disastrous results may be apprehended.
Gen. Ruggles, it is true, is in command of that
Department, but wha* can he or any other officer
do without soldiers ?
We are confident, however, that the means for
this purpose are available, and that without de
nuding Vicksburg and .Port Hudson of their de
fenders In that ingenious scheme the Yankees
will be foiled.

Tns Wheat Crop.—From all sections of the
country the moat cheering reports reach us of
the wheat crop. We have seen but one account
of the appearance of rust, and that was in Pauld
ing county, Georgia, and of bnt one county iu
which tbe crop is not reported unusually prom-
ivtng, and that was in Virginia. We believe tbe
danger from rust is considered passed in this
section ; it osrtainly appeared earlier than this
last year. So we inay safely look for a further
and speedy decline in flour, when we may re-
iresli the palate once more with a regular supply
of “flour doin.a”—Constitutionalist, 3d.
Railroad Collision.—A serious collision oc
curred at the 57 mile post, on the South Carolina
Railroad, a little before 1 o’clock yeaterday
morning, between the up passenger and the
down freight trains. Both engines were badly
damaged and the baggage car was entirely de

Dear Sir : Tho circular of the Executive
Committee of the E lucational Association of
North Caroliua, of which you are a member,
has been received, informing me of the design
to hold a general Convention of the teaohera
of (he South, for the purpose of considering
the best mi nus of supplying text books for
schools and colleges, and for promoting the
cause of education generally, at Columbia, S.

While expressing my regret at being unable
to accept your invitation, I beg leave to say
that it affords mo.vcry great pleasure to see
that the desolation of war does not prevent
the good men of the country from looking af
ter this great and important matter! “
This is certainly the time to inaugurate the
system of supplying oar schools wi& oar own

children with the effusions of Southern ge
nius.
Hay Gcd bless and prosper your efforts in a
cause so patriotic, and greatly to bo commend

The following address was issued r
To the Teaehers an d Friends of Education in th
Confederate States of America :
We have been appointed to make to yon the
following statements:
In accordance with a call issued by tbe State
Educational Association of North Carolina, a
highly respectable meeting of teaehers and
friends of education met in Columbia, South
Carolit a, oi Tuesday, the 28th of April. Six
States were represented in the mating, about
seventy delegates, and a permanent National
Association was organised, having for its ob
ject the promotion of the great cause of edu
cation in the Confederate States.
One of the most important subjects before
tbe meeting vm the. supply of suitable texl
books for our schools, and it was ascertained
that many worfia alw in course of preparation
A
of elementary books have slreaoy been pub
lished, and are in great demand. The Asso
elation deemed, it of vital importance to en
courage, by sdl means consistent with its char
acter and object, suoh useful and patriotic en
terprises, and pledged its members tithe use
of home works in preference to any others of
eqnal merit.
To widen and slrenthen the influence of the
Association, it was recommended to form
Mate Societies, with similar objects, in each
State of the Confederacy, and a resolution
was peeped urging on the authorities of the
The Yankee Raid In Mlaalaalppl.
The Columbus (Miss.) Republic of the 28th is
very severe (whether justly so or nOt we cannot
say) on Gen. Pemberton for permitting the late
Yankee cavalry raids through the State,
says:
This raid was known to the authorities, or at
headquarters some two weeks ago. Tbe li/is-
•issippkm, (published at Jackson) sounded the
alarm, and the Appeal also gave the note of
warning and the result Was, we had a regiment
of cavalry added to our small force, half of them
without arms “
This journal farther states that when theene
my were crossing through Yazoo Pass General
Pemberton was notified of the fact and were
asked if he would send a force there. He earn
estly replied, he had but two points to defed and
that was Vicksburg and Port Hudson.
The Repallic says this raid started out be
tween 4000 and. 5000 strong. They however di
vided, and some 150') or 2000 of them gave battle
lo Col. Barteau, which has heretofore been allud
ed to in our dispatces, while the remaindei, say
3000, proceeded directly South, scouring the
country from eight to ten miles wide. They left
the licp of railroad (the Mobile and Ohio) to
their i.f, Soui'li of West Point-• a station in
Lo« i - county. Miss
They commenced their ravages by destroying
the hospital and other buildings at Okalona (N
E. corner of Chickasaw county). They then
proceeded through Houston in .that county, Si
loam aud Starkville in Oktiblieba county, and
came within one mile of Macon^ Noxubee coun
ty, and thence to Newton Station, Newton Co
on the Southern Railroad,leading from Meridian
to Jackson. The mischief they did here, our
readers already know. The Republic says
We can learn of no serious damage done or
any ill treatment to the inhabitants personally.
Their main object seems to have been to exam
ine the country and robbery—taking horses
mules and a few negroes.
At Starkville they robbed the inhabitants of
horses, mules, negroes, jewelry and money;
went into the stores and threw their contents
(principally tibacco) into the streets, or gave it
to tho negroes ; caught the mail boy and took
the mail; robbed the post office, but handed back
a letter from a soldier (o his wife containing $50
and ordered the postmaster to give it to her;—
Dr. Montgomery was taken prisoner and kept in
camp all night, six miles from town, and allowed
to return home next morning, after releaving
him of his watch and otherlvaluables. Iiale &
Murdock’s hat wagon, loaded with wool hats
passing through at the time, was captured —
They gave the hats to the negroes and took the
mules. Starkville can boast of better head cov
ering tor its negroes than any other town in the
State.
‘ They left quite a number of broken down hor
ses all along their route, supplying themselves
as they went. They stated they were not de
stroying property, that they were gentlemen,but
that on their next trip the whole country would
be devastated, which they expected to make in
June. This city appears to be especially mark'
e'd out for vengeance. They enquired particu
laily about its fortifications, its strength in guns
and men, and stated they would capture it this
summer and lay it in ashes. They were piloted
by a man by the name of Hill, who taught school
in or near Starkville some years since, and by.a
deserter from the 14th Mississippi regiment,-a
resident of Noxubee county. The main body,
paesing through Louisville,were at Philadelphia,
Neshoba county, on Saturday morning last, ap
parently making lor the Central road, part of
their force having went south and destroyed
Newton Station, on the Southern road.and about
one hundred going to Enterprise, hut left on the
show o^ force.
Again the Repualtc says :
Through the kindness of Gen. Ruggles, we
give the following items of information, con
sidered reliable:
There is no enemy south ot Tippah and Tisli
emingo counties, unless it be that portion of the
enemy who went to Newton Station on the
Southern railroad. Also, that the main bodjNtf
the enemy-nave been driven backward were de
K*£BlSSSSS3a!«BS!S^SSSfiS SSOSSSlB
eon, acting under the immediate command'
Gen. Gholeon and Col. Barteau. The enemy
loss 15 killed—number of wounded notjinown.
Among the number killed is Col. Hatch^of
2d loifa regiment. Our.loes, 1 kilhd and
wounded.
- (Commenting on this raid the Moli'e Adver
tiser Sc Register says:
It can hardly be doubted that being well ap
prised of'the unprotected condition ol the coun
try, this expedition was started with the inten
tion of pushing on as far as possib le, and as there
The Rappahannock.
Fr>m Richmond papers we are enabled
to comprehend intelligibly the situation of
affairs on the Rappahannock. It is un
questionable that the enemy’s advance has
been made under the misapprehension
that a very large portion of our troops had
been withdrawn from Fredericksburg. He
has probably learned by thU time Jiow
many men we have there. A correspon
dent of the Philadelphia Press writes;
“From quarters entitled to credit, it is stated
thitonlya picket guard has been left behind,
and the statement is generally credited.”
The same writer says that Gen. Steadman’s
advance
“Was merely te ascertain t>e locality of the
main body of the rebels, and to discover wheth
er any considerable force has been sent to the
Shenandoah Valley. As a part of the pro
gramme, the destruction ol fhe railroad commit
nicatioii with Lynchburg and other Virginia In
calities was also embrreed.”
A plan was arranged for the night of the 16th
of April, when the infantry properly supported
were to have crossed the Rapppahaonock at the
same point crossed by Burnside in December,
while Stevenson with his cavalry and light artil
lery were operating in another direction ; but
heavy rains prevented its execution,
The crossing on the night of the 28th of April
last, and the skirmish that followed, were in
this wise
Under cover of a denss fog, the enemy suc
ceeded in laying down two of their p intoon
bridges over which they Crossed a force, vari
ously estimated at from 6,000 to 10,000. At
the time of the Crossing the 13th Georgia reg
iment were on picket at the mouth of Deep
Run, and a brisk fight-ensued, which lasted
from daylight until 10 o’clock, at which time
tho Georgians were relieved by the 6th Lou
isiana regiment. Our picket force had fallen
back from the river to the road running par
allel with the Rappahannock . .
The mouth of Deep Run, at which this cross
ing was effected, is about one and a halt miles
beb'w Fredericksburg, and is the same point
at which that portion of the enemy’s forces
cros. e-1 that engaged the right wing, of our
army in tho battle of the 13th of December.
The land on this side in the immediate vicin
ity of the river is a level plain of nearly two
miles in width, across which the enemy must
advance to attack our position on the hills in
the neighborhood of Hamilton's Crossing. It
was as they advanced over this plain in De
cember that they suffered such terrible lots
The impression prevails that the enemy’s
advance is directed immediately against
Gordonsville.
Tho\Enquirer states that an aid of one of
the Yankee General’s was captured on the
previous night, together with a correspondent
of the New York World, who was in company

The Examiner snjrg:
confidence in the army now on the hills
around Fredericksburg. - The army is the
best the Confederacy possesses. It occupies
a position of extraordinary strength. There
is no point fi*om Port Royal to Coipeper at
which it would not fight the enemy with ad
vantages which could only be overcome by
superior troops, in superior numbers, after
an enormous loss of life. But the Confederate
army will, with these advantages, engage in
ferior troops; and if resolutely and ably ban
died, as it will be, the oontest ean scarcely
end in anything else than another sanguinary
defeat of t he Federal forces.

Burled Treasure Unearthed.
A correspondent of the New Orleans Era
writing from Brashear City, says:
A few evenings since a deserter from
Camp Bi8land, came over to our picket
lines, and was brought by the guard into
the office of Provost Marshal Captain Fitch,
in Brashear City Noticing that the prisoner
was exchanging gold coin for greenbacks
with the soldiers, Captain Fitch interroga
ted him and ascertained that he had a
considerable amount of the precioui metal
in his possession. Besides the money he
had exchanged, the prisoner had $6,000 in
twenty dollar gold pieces.
Captain Fitch made some inquiries to
find the source of so much wealth in the
keeping of a rebel soldier. From the
prisoner’s statement it appeared that he
had for some time known where $200,000
in solid gold was burled in the ground.
Taking advantage of the darkness on the
previous night, he went to the. hidden
treasure and took all he thought he could
cairyaway in safety, amounting in value
to a little more than six thousand dollars
and then came over to the Federal lines,
pbe place where this treasure is conceal-
is exactly known, and at the proper
time it will be properly cared for, if not
