A crpy ot Messrs. John Stewart, Coley & Co.’s
Tobacco Circular, dated London, Jsn. 8,1568, Las
been received. Though the prominent facts sta
ted ia ri have already been published, the remarks
of this intelligent firm will prove interesting to
those of our readers who are in the eulture of, or
speculation in, tobacco. The ecnclnding iniinia.
tten is not without significance at this time, and
we commsnd it to the attention of planters who
may be tempted by present prices to make large
crops of tobacco next season;
* riince our circular o: the 2d ultimo, business in
lobaceo has been mors than usually restricted, nnd
the sal-s, which arWfeported tu amount to iittie
over sou bhds., call for no special comment.
On taking a retrospective glance at the tobacco
trade during the pant twelve months, we find that
under the mfiaouce of the civil war in America,
and the consequent dislocation of all ordinary
avocations, whether connected with the cadiva
tionof the article or its preparation iorthe English
markets, prices have shown an unvarying upward
tendency, and, es proved by our comparative quo
tations, that an advance of from SO to 40 per cent,
bag been established in the value of ali current
descriptions.
This rise, origmat’ng in the causes a’luded to
above, and reenving from time to time, and es
pec-al.y in the autumn, additional stimulus from
i speculative operations, has bean supperttd
I throughout the year, net oaly by a steady demand
troai itie Engi.sh house trade, but aito by the
purchases ot Continental regies, and dealers,
i who, since the interruption oi dirtet shipments
j iroiu America, have resorted so the stock of leaf
i in the English markets, tc a much greater extent
i tbaa for many prevtou i years.
Bring ttiii atprivsa of rei’abis information from
many oi the tooacco growing distr cts j nay com
parinen a, to the \ c spec* of tnture supply is
iaipraetiaable; on looking, however, at the ac
companying tables, it will oe seen that the exist
ing stock oi tobacco in Europe has been reduced
during the las year to the axtest of Id,BOS bhds.
la Great iinin n the falling off, in the aggregate,
is 7,400 bhde., but if we except Maryland*, of
wliien alone there is an increase et little short of
B, Job hiida., it will be found that we cenunenee
the piesent jeer, *»ith a stock of Ksntu.ky and
Virginia tobacco, nearly ld,i>oo hhds. less than at
the corresponding period ol ISB2.
The statistics for the past year show a satis
factory increase ia the general consumption ; lite
efent of high prises, is, however, strikingly ap
parent in the greatly reduced proportion supplied
by Btcmmetl tobacco. This description formerly
constituted the chief staple in use by cur taanu
fectarers, but now they are driven to the ate of
the nukiercua cheaper qualities, comprised under
the head of substitutes, and the offieial returns
skew a falling ofi la the use of Sti* pa equal t
needy BfiQO bhds. as compared with the previous
yoar.
We enter apsa the year IS6S with diminished
stock of tobaecs throughout Europe, with the

is a favorable state of thing! far those interested
in the article Os the future coarse of the markets,
we can offNr no opinion; tasir pcs tlon must bs re
gulated.iu a great measure, by causes arising out of
a aantt uance, or sett’einent, of the unhappy war.
which, for the last eightosn months lia, prevailed
in America, and while on this point, those un tha
spot wiii be able to form the earliest and most
correet eetimate, ws would remind our friends
that tha consumption of this country is no longer
entirely dependenton American growth, and that
with the immence impetus that has been given to
to tha production of tobaeeo in other countries, a
reduced make or strips in Virginia and the West
is of less importance io the trade in general than
would formerly have been the cage.

j r KDxn.iL Account or thb Dkstb’jction or thi
I Hu".! ;a- —The commander of the Federalsteam-
I chip ilaueras, the vessel destroyed on the ceast
I of Texas, Jan. Uth, by the Confederate steamer
! Alabama, gives the eacexed account of the
j affair:
i On the aferacon cf the lUh instant, at 3:80
i o’clock, while et anchor in company with the
j fleet, with commander Bell, of Galveston. I w*3
i ordered, by at -nal from the flag ship Brooklyn, to
chase a sail to Southward of Eastward.
. I got underway immediately, aud steamed with
ail speed m the direction indicated. After some
time, a s'.ranue sad could be seen from the Bat
uras, and vhich was ascertained to be a steamer,
which Uc: i common cated to the flag- ship by
signal.* I c.'nlinusd rhea’, aud rapidly gained
upon the suipicious vessel. When witnin about
four mi es oi ner, I r-Dierved that she had ceased
to steam, and was lying broadside awaiting ns.
I; was ceariv seven o’clock, and quite dark ; but,
notwithstanding the obscurity of the night, I felt
assured, iro..i the general character of the vessel,
and her m i avremg, that I would soon encona- J
ter the steam r.A'ausma.
Bt-iug abio to work bat four guns on the sides oi' j
the Hattevas—two short th’; tv-two pounders, one j
thirty p iui’der rfl :d gun, and one twouty lour!
pounder riU-d gun—l conciuded to ebse with her j
that iny guns m ght be as effective as possible. I
camo wiiiiin eutn, speaking range, and upon ask
ing, 4 '% bat steaVier is t. at"’ 1 received answer,
‘ Her B itunnie Mi-j'S’y’s chip Vixen." I replied
i would sand a boat a'oearo, and immediately gave
the omer.
in *he meantime both vessels were changing
tli ii pasitione, the stranger endeavoring to gain
a disirablh pos tioc for a raking fire.
'Almost rimultaacaacly with piping away the
boat the s ringer ri plied: ”We are the Cenfede
rste et- amer Aiabania," which was accompanied
with a broadside. lat the. same moment returned
the fire, aud steered directly toward the Alabama,
hut aho was enabled, by her greet speed and by
the fealLesg of the bottom of the Hatteras, and,
cons' qneatly, her ttimintshed speed, to thwart my
a tempt, when I had gained a distance of hut
thirty yards lrcm her.
At*tais range, m sketry and pistol shots wpie
exchanged, Finug continued with great vigor
on bosh sides. At ieng h a shell entered amid
sbips into the bold, setting tire to it, and at the
gama justunt a ebeii pass* and through the sick bay,
exploding in an a. j icing ooir.pancaen*, also pro
eucing fire. Another entered the cylinder, filling
the engine rocm and deck with steam, and de
priving me of any power to marseuvre the vessel
or to Wotk the pumps, on which a redaction of
the fires depended. VYith the vessel on Are in two
pieces, and oavend human powerahopeleeg wreck,
with bar wulk.ag btem shot away, and her en
gine rendered enemas, 1 still maintained an aotive
tire, wivn she double hope of dieablieg the Aia
bama and attracting the attention of the fleet off
Galveston, which was oniy twenty-eight miles
distant.
It was scon reported to mi that shells had en
tered the H’tteras at water Sine, tearing ofi'entire
sheeis oi iron, and that water was rushing in
rapidly, utterly de ying every attec.pt to remedy
tlu evil, and sue was rapidly sinking. Learning
this melancholy truth, aud observing ihSt the Ala
bsm t was on my port bows, entire y beyond
range of my guns, doubtless' preparing lor a rak
ing fl.-o of vhe deck, 1 t.-i. 1 hud no light to aacri
fiee uselessly, and wit .Out any desirable result,
the lives ci ali under my command. To prevent
the blowing up o; toe Hat.eras from the fire,
wh ch wan making much progress, 1 ordered
magi nine flooded, and; afterward, a lee gun to be*
fired. Tt e Aabsma t' ea asked if assistance was
desired, towhicih an affirmative answer was given.
The 11.. U ras wa g now going down, and, in order
to cava the iivrs cf my officers and men, I caused
the armament tin thy port aide to be thrown over

Thb FxrxEiENcr or a Radical on a Teip to
Washington—What he Saw and Hkabd. —Under
the head of “Spirit of the German Press,” the
St. Louis Republican translates and publishes the
following article from the Neue Zsit, a leading
German paper of that city. It is of the date of
the Sth ult. Tbs Neue Z;it is one of the radical
Abolition presses.
The people of the East are completely weary
of the war, and desire peace, though this peace
be connected with conditions ever so shameful.
The conviction is deeply rooted that we cannot
beat the Southern army—that, on the contrary,
our troops cannot make a stand against those of
the Confederate Sta.es; that it is useless to con
tinue stiff farther the waste of bl od, that the Re
publican party after a prolongation of probation,
hae proven itself incapaole to administer the at
fairs of the country, and that the Democratic
party understands howto hold the reins; that
Lincoln is a weak old woman ; and renders our
Government ridiculous; that we can end the war
i only by compromise, and that hence salvatio t and
redemption are only to be hoped for from the
I Damocratic party. "he hatred against the negro
! is greater than ever before; the prejudice against
I the black raee grows day by day; the message of
j the President exeitts general disapprobation. The
! country is exhausted in man and money ; tt e wo
ful ondition of our finances is a more heavy
vffliction than ail others, because it is felt at every
hour of the iav ; and but one wish hovers on all
iips : Peace ! Peace!
The army ot the East is still more corrupt than
tbs people. The anny is rotten and treasonable
from head to toe. The Westers troops, as soon
as arrived at the East, bscoms equally corrupted
Upon the whole trip I have cot met a single sol
dier who did not cur** tha Abolitionists, nnd the
negroes, and diclare thtri he wooid rather fight
for the Hoiith than to make a stand for the libera

assuranc!', ther# is none to be found in the East
ern arm v. Tho soldi ra do not believe that they
oa« beat the enemy, and therefore consider an
advantoge impossible. They seem to bo so spirit
less that it s doubtful whether they are capable
ol hoping for victory. Os Hooker hardly anything
more ia expected tnan of Burnside. The deser
tion increase with every day. Tha President's
proclamation is publicly cursed, and th:. conduct
of soldiers iu the cars and in the cities is vulgar
and brutal beyond description. Os patriotism,
you fled as Hills ia the Eastern army »s among
the people of the Eastern States. This people
seem to have no longer an idea of patriotism; not
a man spe»ka of sacrifices ■ from love of the cause,
hardly teu men would remain iu the regiment.—
It is a real treat, alter having conversed with the
soldiers of the Rappahannock, to converse with
soldiers from Rosenorare's and Gran.’u armies.
The statesmen In Washington, in their tarn,
sre again more conupt thau army and people
i'or-thamithere is but one watchword : “Let us

There is uot one of uli our celebrated men who
ventures soberly and coolly to reflect ou the lay
of the land, to look lute the future, and to ask iu

words like three : “We do not know what wiii

The Cabinet luembersplaoo the crowu upon the

to the copperheads ; so Hlair ; Stanton always

Chase plays a high game for the Presidential can
didacy, and Abe Lincoln is the tueful counterfeit
of a man whom one need oniy to look ut iu order
to beat his hstnds over his head.
Fremont’s name is no more heard in Washing
ton. It is totally blowu away. He, too, has suf
fered tne favorable opportunity to pass by, and it
would be useless now to try and se'xa it again.
Tbe people ot the Euat have btc-ime so faithless
that it is no more to be saved. Once the radical
party bad tbe power within its graßD ; then they
did not venture openly to oppoea the President,
but they onn label ud (Or the Adaalnistratlo j , al
lhough it wes inimicsl to them. It broke with the
test portion of Iho Democracy, which, likewise,
by th-v eh.us -ness of Lin. nlu’e Administration,
was driven into opposition. The Radicals are bow
in a great e Democracy has ihe
power. He who know3 the tough and regardlees
characier of the Damocrat'o leaders, knows what
ihut means
in Washington they talk only of peaoo. Then
a separation into fosr empires would become most
probable, la Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indi
ana, everywhtre, even of loyal people, one hears
the same wish—peace. And tbo boldest among
the Copperheads spank already of the annexation
to the Southern Confederacy under the regime of
Jeilereci Davis.
I* coße’usior, 1 would simply venture the ques

would not now be in time? The Democracy in
every State iu the Uui»n ia firmly aiHd c oscly
organiz'd. Circumstances may render for it men
sures necessary, wineb vye would have to war
against at any price. Therefore, Radicals, organizs
yourselves, elsr ail is lost.
Ficsß4i-ODraAOSB]N Mississippi.—The Federal
troops continue to cewunit their outrages in that
section of Northern Mississippi over which they
have oontroi. A lady in a letter to tha Jackson
appeal Eaya:
“Every thing was taken that emild bs of a DJ

The lady cerretpondent of tbe Appeal makes
the annexed appropriate and spirited remarks
about the perpetrators of these outiugcs:
These are the men of the Northwest; the mrn
who bosstthat they tire democrats; the men who
are grossly insulted if you eiass them as abolition
ists or even republicans; the men with whom so
many of ourbouthern friends are anxious to enter
in’o Union again ; yes ! this is ihe class, and th’s
is the omduet whieh has eharacterzed them to
ward* a brave and chivalrous people, whose at mieß
are straggling for liberty and vy. ose ct-zene are
enduring aif i,orts of privations and matting all
manner of sacr fiecs 1 for ths support of the same
holy esnso. Thvsa men have the impudence to
talk to usaboct reconotruotingthe Union. Union
with whom ? WitU men who have dssoiated 'our
homes, insulted our women, butehered our men,
d-secrated our ehurshes. and even violated the
eaee ity cf the grave, from which even beasts
wouid'shrirk, except the foul hyena whom they
resembF. When such a Union takes place, the
jamb and well will come together. This Union
will be consummated when Southern records of
Southern wrongs goal: havo been erased forever
from the tablet of faithful memory, and that will
be—never!

Effects of the War at the Ncbth. —While we
are suffering Irom the miseries springing from a
deranged ad redundant ourrency, it is sweet to
know that the hateful Yankees, the*au.h»rs offal 1
cur woes, have not escaped similar evils. From
a gentleman who left New York ten days ago we
have received an interest ng aad highly gratifying
account of the condition of the ourrency aud the
markets of that great metropolis, which being its
centre of trade and wealth, is a certa n index of
the condition of afl'aiis thioughout the North.—
He says ;
That the price of every article in tho mar
ket he>s ris nto iwo huudrtd and a great many
of thi m three hundred per o -,nt. Real estate is
held at fabulous prioce, aud will not be sold tor
greenbacks at any pnot. A pieoe of coin is no
more >t<n m otrtu ation th*an it is with us. The
smeh ehauge ol postal currency, individual notes,
bar room, u.ii". tickets, Ac. bunk notes have
io .g disappeared irom circulation, and are hoard
d by individuals who are afraid to offer them
for sale lest they should be arretted for attempt
ing to dap! eciate the precious greenbacks.
Ttie North is suffering another evil of almost
equal maguLuae. Tne Alabama, JFlonda and
Rotribul Ou have sent dismay to the h.arts of tbe
uuderwnuars, ana they rtluse ulteraliy to insure
goads ir. Yankee bottoms. Consequently the im
mense Yankee meichani navy is idle, and lies
roUlug at toe whm ves Thousands oi men are
thrown out o: employment, und the suffering in
all toe Coast towns i« terrible.
but by Ur the greatest evil that now afflicts
Northern ojmmuuii.es is the universal distrust
which, bk- a moral pestilence, pervades all class
es They are destitute ol confidence in their
currency, their army, their rulers aud themselves,
and wuh the gloomiest apprehensions look for
ward to the futuie.
Oar own ills seem more endurable when we
know that our enemies a.c suffering, even in a
greater degree.
The tone of the Northern press goes to prove
that there is a wide spread and rapidly increasing
dissatisfaction among the people on accouot of
the way the war is conducted, and also on account
of the usurping and tyrannical acts of Linooln and
his party. The Detroit, Mich, Free Press, in re
marking on the despotism of the “present powers
that be” says :
Lincoln’s administration has attempted to do
wbat no civilized Government has ever succeeded
it—what Great Britain, even Louis Napoleon or
the Ctar of Russia, would not dara to attempt—
to crush and exterminate ten millions of people,
armed and united in a cause which they esteem
that of their liberty, their homes and their hon
or.

Although the twilight fades away.

Yet silvery stars wdh light divine
Adorn the dome on high. ’
Sweet, gentle, kind and loving words,

The glnd receiver’s breast;
Like childhood’s sweet and simple rhymes,
Deep in the heart they lie—
Yes, words of kindness and of love
Are things that never die.
Childhood, too, can never die,
For fragments of the past
Float ever on our memory,
As long as life shall lost;
And many happy scenes gone by,
Again break on our view,
And in the visions which they bring,
We seem to live anew.
Sweet, gentle fancies never die—
They always leave behind,
Some well beloved legacy
Stored within tiie mind;
Some happy thought or plsasant dream
Which, they may pass by,
Yet leave an impress on the heart,
That they can never die.
Incidents or Fsdebal Rule in New Obleans.
A correspondent of the Jackson Appeal lurtiishea
the annexed incidents of federal rule iu New Or
leans :
A Richmond Editor says that the departure of
Gen. butler in Bafety was a dis race to every cit
izen ia New Orleans. This sanguinary man can
not have reflected that New Orleans is tbe gather
ing point lor the runaway negroes from the in
terior and tbe gulf onast, and that there were
15,000 of New England’s choicest thieves in and
around the city, restrained only by the relentless
severity of a commander who would allow no other
band to share the spoil, butler’s assassination
would have becu the signal for the incendiary and
the pillager, aud 30,000 of the loveliest, trueßt
hearted aud mosthelpl.ss olGod’s creation would
have been at the mercy of a horde more barbarous
aud loathsome than the Huns aud Goths and Van
dals of the lower empire.
General butler wore a coat of mail, which was
clearly discernible under his clothes, and extend
ed to his hips. In bis office two revolvers lay
continually on his desk, which he often handled to
impress or intimidate. Until alter the entire pop
ulation had been disarmed, he never appeared on
the streets exoept in a carriage, with three orderly
sergeants, and surrounded by a troop of horsemen,
all armed to the teeth. As he laj stretebed back
on the cushions, bis glances were as cruel, restless
and suspicious aa a tiger cat’s. His behavior was
(all nf ostentation aud bravado «■*-
showed him to have been bred in a vulgar station
and no glitter of autnorily could impress the
beholder that he was aught but a parvenu and a
was presented last Novembor, by
the colored people, to a negro regiment stationed
on the Gentilty road in tne rear oi me city.—
Every dray, furniture car, wagon, aud other con
veyance, was employed from early morning to
carry down crowds of jubilant Ethiopians of both
stxas to the camp. Hongs iu honor of John
Brown, ilassa butler ana Uncle Abe, rung upon
the air from the throats of those who used so
melodiously to swell the boatman’s chorus upon
the Missisßidpi steamers. In the evening, Gen.
butler with ms numerous and splendid sun, rode
down to officiate at the presentation. lie made a
long and incendiary speech, urging the blacks to
redeem themselves from the ta into oi their to al
ters that they would never stand tho sm> Ot
powder and the gleam oi bayonets. Uol. cS:- lord,
commanding the regiment, replied in extra'
terms ; bat the only thing he eoid worth ii.*- -noon
ing was, that the negro, aa a sol iier, wua i.oy uuy
worth five white men. He douhiltss deuuccu his
comparison Irom himself und his lellow roidiers,
and was therefore jusiified in his assertion.
A poor Irish woman was heard to say by one
of butler’s innumerable Bpies to say that the
prfest had told her under no circu nstaucee to take
