VicusKuua, April 4.
The heavy tiring heard below this city a tew
evenings siDoe was caused by the appeurance of
the two Federal vessels ut Warrenton, where oar
batt'-rimt ripened on them, which resulted in a
spirited engagement, lasting some thirty minutes.
The vessels both succeeded in getting by the bat
teries, and the Hartford and Monoiigaheia Can e
up to within night ol the city before dark. luring
the night a very lar,re conflagration was witnessed
in the dirtolioo of Warrontou, ; lid it was suppos
ed that i{hr men bad tired some buildings wiih a
view ol lighting up the river; but by others it
was believed thut the enemy bad got ashore and
was engaged m burning the town. No particulars
bare yet been received here, and the Monoiigaheia
has be n down the river, and again engaged i ur
batteries at Warrontou, bat nriust have been re
pulsed, as site has returned to the company of the
Hartford.
It is reported that in the light on Sunflower
river we repulsed the enemy and captured three
of their gunboats 1 cannot tr»ce the report to
any authentic source, but hope it may prove
true.
(treat activity is now prevailing among the
troops here, uud the prospects are that they will
soon have sooiet.ung to do , if they get into a light
we know well enough which side will be v.ctors.
The Fedor I army which threatens Vicksburg
is undoubtedly as large ns Hooker’s Army of the
I'o ouiac. T .eir river d«*t i» also very large
ttut their ucl'ons show that th y ure afraid to
attack us. If they do not make the attempt hood,
they will have to postpone it until fall. Very
little time ; s left for a regular siege, the Vertical
rays ol the sun have corns to the aes istance ot the
Con ©derates, anil wiiat the bullets of our rifle
men leave undone, disease wd! iioisii to perfec
tion.
It is ulso admitted by them that they are getting
themselves into a ligut place, uud ure in a fair
way of being cutoff from retreat, A correspon
dent of the Chicago Times, writing from Moon
Lake, thus sgeska ol tho ditliculty of getting their
boats hack into tiie Mississippi river, should they
fail in cutting their way through to Vicksburg by
way of Yuz u>: “If wc do not take the enemy by
surprise fi tliey shall chance to he fully informed
ot the nature and extent ot our preparations, and
slial> Ini fully prepared to meet ug -<'od help us!
When we advance beyond this rendezvous, there
is no return for us. The pass from here to Cold
water is lunch par rower and intiuitely more tor
tuoug, with a more rapid current, than that lead
ing Iroin the Mississippi into the lake. Once
through that, we oun never pet these boats back
ugain through it. The current itself would boa
mi llielect impediment to our return, did none
other exist. Our only chance th. o, ih to tightonr
way through to Vicksburg. The only watchword
we cau have Will ho to fight or die.”
Tho “On to Vicksburg’’ seems to have changed
here altogether, and now tho etiorls of the enemy
ure directed aguinst other points, in the hope of
getting in tbe rear and cutting oil our supplies
Two expeditions towards the Yazoo river are now
operating with this view, and the likelihood is
that hetli of these will bo cut nil und prevented
from ever getting back again to their base on the
Mississippi. It auits us very well to huve the en
emy divide liia strength so us to come upon us in
srnuil divisions, and at different points, and we
ure well prepared lor hmi ut uny and every place
be may seek to invest. This operating in other
quarters keeps him quiet in front of Y'icksburg,
and nothing of Interest or importance has traus
.yired within lliupUHt two days.
In all tho Northern accounts of the operations
ut Vicksunrg, there is an implied admission that
the tusk of reducing the fortifications on the river
front ib hopeless ; ami their wits ure put to a
severe test to coutnvo some plau by which the
lutal necessity of the uttempt may be avoided. It
bus been ull - lie time their principal aim to get in
the rear, or below the place, und they are tindeav
oriug to their best ability to persuade themselves
into tiie notion that either or all of their plaus
might prove successful.
The New York Pcs 1 , speaking of the siege of
Vicksburg, says that "there are now three distinct
projects lor compassing tbe detent of the rohels at
Vicksburg. First, there is the canal across the
isthmus opposite tho city. Second y, the project
of getting through the Yaxoo I'ass. Third, the
Luke Providence canal project.” It is enough for
me to say that it is utterly impossible for them to
accomplish either one of their objects.
Thero has been nothing additional received
from the operations on the Y axoo; but everything
points 4o oonfiim our former reports of the entire
success of our forces iu cutting off the retreat of
the euetnv. Our forces ure under the oommaud
of Gens. Feath.erston and Lee, two of the üblest
officers iu o"u* (Jontederacy, and we feel perfectly
satisfied that our State is sate ill tliut quarter.
Th ro is nolhiug m w to report from the enemy
across tho river, The ram gave them such a
thorough drenching lately that they will proba
bly keep quiet for u day or two longer.
The Federal .boats attempted to get into tho
Huuflower river at Rolling Fork on .Saturday. It
is reported that they were driven back, and that
w,e captured three of their bouts.
Tho destruction of one Yankee guuboat and the
disabling of another on Wednesday morning be
fore brouklast, has put a quictu i upon the Yankee
movements lor tho presont. The one wh'ch es
uuped from being sunk outright, was towed down
below the Island, where she now lies in a disabled
and sinkin • condition. No gleam cau be raised,
and no sign ol life nolioed about her.
It is now reported that the boat which crcaped
tro in our guns under tho protection of the Albat
ron, has also snok at the point where she wur laid
up, below the island. She appeared to bo entire
ly deserted, and was evidently in a helpless con
dition, it not entirely ruined, and wss seen to till
aud settle iu the water, and it was noticed that
her bow was under, and afterwards that she had
slipped down and disappeared Irom sigh*, except
a small portion of the Btrrn seen on the surfacs.
It is a little curious that these boats sick head
foremost,and 1 account lor il Unit they must both
have been rams, and tho he ivy weight o' iron ou
the hows carries that portion down first, while
the stern, which is com par at vely to the forward
part floats ou the surface uutil carried down bv
the weight at the other end. An addition to the
transports is noticed, bat is not known whether
they bring troops or not.
From what 1 can learn of the Yankee accounts
ol their oprraiious on tho Ymoo pass X am satis
tied that they uro go ng to meet with a disastrous
tauure, and have strong hopes that we may cap
tare his whole tleet of gunboats in those waters,
or at least destroy 'hem. And this is also the
case with the expedition which >s workiug through
Deer Creek into Sunflower. Two of their boats
are already destroyed, and the balance must in
evitably share ibe same late, because their retreat
is being cut pit, and no hope is left them but to
fall into our bauds. We have active and Skillful
odicers in these quarters, and if any thing can be
accomplished we may he! certain thai it will bo
done. .
la order to giv> a plain and correct dercnptiou
ol the position of this place, the lollowmg deacrip
lion will be found Useful and correct:
Vicksburg stands at a sharp bend of tho river.
In front, there is a long, narrow peninsula of isnd
formed by the said bond of the stream. By cut
ting a sh p canal across the bass of this peninsula,
the eurmv's xunboals a"hd transports wdl be able
to pass down tho Mississippi in that neig i
borhcod withoul coming under tire of the Con
federate artillery in the town. This project found
favor with the Federal Generals last year when
they had exhausted the dower of their armies in
the vain attempt to carry the city by storm, or
reduce it by a cannonade. They were at first
persuaded that it was onlv necessary to cut an or
dinary dltbh across the land, and that the rapid
current of the great river would perform the rest
ol the labor. But tho Father of Waters obstin
ately adhered to tns ancient courses, and the ditch
remained a ditch Repealed attacks on the city
having absolutely faded, the Ftderals havebeoome
satisfied that tlie strength ot the place and the
valour of its defences is proof against their arms.
In this year, therefore, they have undertaken to
do tho work which the Mississippi disdained
For several months they have employed an ar-
my of negroes in digging this ditch.
The attempt and the consummation of this
work, however, are two different thiDgs, aud the
cauul is still a work incomplete, and will be likely
to remain so, as the Goniederate batteries erect
ed opposite to tie mouth at the lower end will
ur-vcot the farther prosecution ot auy more
work on it. There is but little appreheusieu en
tertained that any benefit can result in the enemy
from this canal, though prudence dictates to make
every preparation to thwart his purposes and
compel him to abandon the project.
In the eveut of their getting through the canal,
it would be a serous loss and and ssdvantage to us.
U would be mortifying to hear the exultation ot
the enemy. Vicksburg has thus far baaed the
utmost effort ot tUir'urwa. Their troops have
again and oguiu been hurled back by her hills
like the breakers of the sea by the rocks. With
- tas.ng the city, they would in a great measure
bare nturailzed its importance by a smart trick.
In urinary engineer ag it would indeed baa great
achievement. * ...
k If the enemy should succeed in getting his gun
floats and transports ihrough tli.e canal, it would
KLjre hint the mK ; between Vicksburg and Fort
and might do us au infinite amount of
earai b’/ interrupting oor ccmuiauicatiou and
cutting off our means ol reintorcsaienta and sup
plies and il would entail a world of trouble and
bard’lighting for us to recover our lost adTau-
U fXa! these ore speculations on an event which is
not vet au accomplished tact, and which may
never be an acoompUsfied fact. The cotupletiou
“f the canal mar be prevented by various causes,
and even if completed, may eerrr Htle We can
. halo thinking that the last word of V tekaburg
U notfet olid Buck is ou the side of the vtcto
rious town. While its legend, fortuna Jortibvs,
ri-tjiaibi irae, it may continue with it.
YVithin the last three days nothing has trans
pired here worthy of note. The p’ace is fail of
exciting rumors, some of which seem to be found
ed on sufficiently good authority to put some
confidence in them. The general apprehension
is that an effort will shortly be made to attack
trie city with the morta's. The way it is to be '•on*
is. by having the gunboats to tow the mortars
down to a point within reach, where the? will be
anchored under the best cover they can And, and
begin to shell the City at leisure. The mortar
boats are aoth ng but c’umsv rafts of heavy tim
ber*, have no propelling power, and mast be
towed by the gunboats to whatever point toey
wish to place them. It is algo believed that a
few mortars wdl be placed at iom convenient
roint in the limber opposite, from which they
ope to throw their shells imo the city. On the
nv-r bank above the timber has al! been cut
dowu and no p'aee cun be found that is not ex
posed Vo tbe raking ure of our guns, but further
inland on the peninsula they can find shelter be
hind the trees. ,
The gunboats can hardly venture to come with
in range of the c ty. If they do, a concentrated
tire from our batteries may play the very mis
ci ief among them, experiments have
demonstrated that our gnus can reach their mor
tare or gunboats from ary point at which they
may attempt to take a position to shell the city
The tnal of her guns made by the i ankee gun
boat Lafayette, lately, proved ihat she could not
get her shot further into town than just at the
water’s edge on this side of the river, while every
one of our guns could have reached and gone far
bey end the point where she. was anchored. Flo it
wa's with their mortar a tew weeks since—only
the lower pa't of the city could be reached by
their shells, while our gunt p ayed all about the
Yankees in the most beautiful style. Tbe way
tbe enemy is situated now, he will have to come
ad give us a fair tight, and the chanco of posi
tion and strength of the woiks are all in cur (a
vor. Gunboats are very good to bombard a de
fenceless town, but they are noacoount to stand
in front of a battery
This is wbot the Y'ankees despise and depre
cate. Last year, when we had hut feeble de
fence-, an 1 no time or means to make any pre
parations, they were enabled to h de their mortar
Doats behind the timber within close range o the
city, uud be ug under cover our butteries were
unable to drive them from their position. Hut
now things are different, and tiie enemy finds that
his movements are all so much exposed that we
cau see every tiling that he may undertake to do;
and tu. thermore, that lie is within full range©!
our Whistling D.cks every time he attempts to
tire a shot. Being cut ot! from the advantage of
creepiug up 1 1 ultiiily to snocy us m the dark, he
is bellied and bulked, and not inOined to venture
his own presence inta the reach cf danger. Os
late n great run of bad luck box came upon him,
and he is no doubt greatly exasperated at the dar
in.> of the rebels and the misfortune ‘o Ins own
navy, but cannot remedy or counteract it without
exposing himself to the tire of our batteries.—
YVnat ptau Letnay adopt will probably be devel
oped in the course ol a few days, if he have suf
ficieut force at band to attempt anything.
On Saturday night we had a terrible rain and
storm, and it was greatly hoped that the tieet of
boats would be scattered and wrecked, but I huve
not learned that any damage has been done them.
It is tbeir habit to have one of the gunboats pat
roling the river between the transports and the
bead ol the canal during the night, a. and in the
morning at tiie approach c-1 daylight she goes up
to her old quarters. The work on the canal seems
to be suspended, anil no further attempt fas been
discovered during the past week ; th >. dredge boat
has either been withdrawn or is lying idle behind
the curtain oi the foliage. Com. Farragut seems
to have gone dnw i the river, us he has not been

Vicksburg, March 29, 1563.
Thinking that your readers would like the full
particulars of the late tight between the Federal
gunbouts and our butteries at this nlnce, I have
sent you the following account of the i fiair :
About five o’clock on the morning of March 25,
our good citizens were awoke Horn their sleep by
the thunder tones of onr guns stationed at Mint
Spring, and soon every prominent place in the
city was thronged with anxious spectators. It
wub a clear and beaulitul morning, the atmosphere
cool and bracing, and day bad dawned brightly,
every inch of the way across the river was plain
to the naked eye. Onr batteries couhi thuß sweep
everything ihat attempted to pass with an unerr
ing men.
Your correspond--nt, who had been np till a
very late hour the nig it pievious, was not at al!
inclined to rise from his comfortable bed ; but
hearing the firing continue with iucreußed rapid
ity, scrambled out us quick as lie could, and just
gain and a prominent position in time to witness one
of the grandest sights that onr greulGibraltar has
yet beheld or occasioned.
Turning the bend above th« city was a fleet of
four boats—(two of which retired soon alter the
filing)—and just in laugeof our water batteries
at Mint Springs; a terrific lire was poured into
the foremost boat,—a cotton-clad rum, supposed
to be the Monarch— several bulb pierced her.
She paused, as if undecided whether to return or
not, and twice reversed he'- engines, bat on the
near approach ot her iron cud consort —supposed
to to bs the Lafayette—seemed determined to risk
all. She then continued her course down the
river Blow v, followed by the Lafuy Its. with n
distauc ■ ol about a quarter of a mde betwe n
them. No serious damage was done them until
they came opposite the battery in the rear of the
Wliig Oilic;’, wheu u shot well' aimed pierced the
boiler of the iron-clad; almost nt the same time
a round shot from Maj or Ogden’s battery went
orashing through the boiler ot the rani Monarch.
Both boats were then completely disabled, and
at the mercy of our guns slowly drifted down the
riyer.
They had not proceeded far, wheu aaothor well
directed shot passed through the iron-clad, below
the water mark. Site immediately ceased mov
ing, and it soon became apparent to all that she
was sinking. Smoke was seen issuing from her
port holes, u po v tion of her crew deserted her aud
escaped to the L 'Ulsiana shore.
As our bravo boys beheld her condition, they
sent up cheer utter cheer, whieh must have been
plainly heard by the crest-fallen Yankee marines,
us ths a r seemed rent with the exultant shouts
of our nobles ildiersand theciiixens who thronged
the height', the sound rising the thunder
our of batteries, which still kept up an incessant
and deafening fi.e. It waß a seeue ol terrific gran
deur.
About a quarter of a mile apart lay the two
boats— oue perfectly motionless, the other floating
at the will if tho current down the river. The
Hash of each gun as U neat its messenger ot de
strucuon to the toe, appeared like sunbeams play
ing on the water. The earth shook us il coavulted
by an earthquake. The shrili whistle of the shells
as they cut ihrough the air, seepted to shout the
soug of liberty 1 As they sped on their errand
of death, like some avenging Nemius, combiued
to make the scene ono of beauty and grandeur.
The Lafayette remained visible for about fifteen
minutes, when s he careened and took in water ;
down, down she went; and in the space of firb
minutes nothing was seen of theouce defiant iron
clad but a black speck on the water, and a few
Federal wretches 6wnuming for their live3. Thus
ended the career of one of the 1 ankees most
noted iron-clads.
The Monarch, however, was more fortuuate, ipf
by her not sicking you can term it so,) for she
drifted down the river under a murder. U3 fire ot
our batteries. Almost every ball struck her, i.ud
she escaped total destruction only by chance. As
it was she is so bally damaged that we have no
tear of her ever being of use to the enemy. She
floated on until at the mouth of the cans', when
she was met and towed ashore at Brown & John
ston's hv the steamer Albatross
Thus ended the third attempt of the enemy to
run past our batteries. And tnough tie two hr t
were successful, yet the brilliant result of the third
has wiped away the disgrace occasioned by the
two first, taught the enemy a lesson they wnl not
foiget soou, ad fully demonstrated that land bat
teries manned by iron hearts and bauds,are more
than a match for their vaunted, impregnable Iron
olads.
All is quiet this ' oruing; the Hartford, Alba
tros, and the wreck ol the Monarch are lying at
Brown A Johnston in “statu quo.”
Movemen s are now transpiring which if suc
cessful, will add two very tine vessels to our navy.
What the movements are 1 will net make public,
but rest assured that our brave marines will soou
give a good account of themselves.
No news from the Yaxoo. The enemy have re
turned in force to Greeawood, and another attack
is anticipated. ixcsxsiOß.

The only items of interest that have reacaed
this quiet metropolitan news eddy, during the
week, aie the sinking of one or two Federal ves
sels Dear Y’lcksbnrg, and the continued running
of tbe blockade by the fleet of merchant craft
which trade with tne Yankees via Nassau. Has
it never occurred to you, Mr. Editor, how remark
ably lucky certain vessels have been in “eluding
the blockadera y” It hag been so repeated that it
is boasted by our sisters of the Palmetto city that
the “foreign” commerce of Charleston is greater
during the war than it ever wa« in a time ot peace.
Ut course it would be indelicate to intimate that
there was any nice little arrangement by which
tbe optics of tiie blockaderg were obfnsticated—
aud yet it is difficult to account on philosophical
principles for their obtaaity of vision. It has been
observed in military c rclea, that they actually
never gse av> sse l laden with Yankee goods unless
she happens to flounder on tne beach, and then
they shell ull aroun i her with intense eirnestness.
dot let a vessel attempt to come in with guns or
munitions of war, in which Y ankee speculation
bag no interest, and their vision is so wonderfully
acute that nothing but a dark night und tull head
of steam will save her.
1 confess myself so innocent of commercial
knowledge as to be unable to see the advantage
resulting from this illicit traffic with the enemy,
and to wonder that it is allowed. It ha3 done
more than all other causes combined to drain the
country of gold aud silver, and thus depreciate
our currency ; it has tempted the vanity ot our
people with attractive fabrics, many of whom
will bay them at any ptice, so long as they hare
the money.
There are many who, by trade, extortion, op
pression or downright embezzlement, have made
immense sums during the war. They und their
(umilie3 are inclined to “splurge”—and the block
ade enables tnem to gratify their expanding
tastes. This creates rivalry in society—for the
Wer ha3 not lasted long enough yet to wipe out all
those conventional customs and luxurious follies
that had so demoralized ns—aud the result is,
that when the wife uud daughter of Pnileman
Hkinnem come out with new suits, of conne all
tbe ladii g in their set must follow suit, for woe be
to them aud their poor husbands —ttio latter es
pecially—if they dun’t follow suit. TSien every
young man in town who aspires to favor in An
gelina's eyes must appear at the next ball in im
maculate broadcloth —a full suit of which will
cost a full quarter’s salary, or what is worse a full
day’s stealage. Fin we go, ever encouraging folly
and extravagance, aud enriching Yankee enemies
and their first blood cousins, those who thrive on
•his traffic—and these are tbe advantages of the
blockade, over which we smile complacently every
time it is announoed by telegraph that a vessel
“reached a Confederate port.” And how sure
they are to annoancs it by telegraph ! If it were
so secret and so smart, it would seem to be wise
to conceal tbe tact, and not blazon it forth so that
the enemy would be on the alert. But no—it is
telegraphed, and our people with one accord say,
“well deue,” and the whole tiibe of traffickers at
i uce make ready to run down to Charleston to at
tend an auction sale. The Associated Press
ought to charge these announcements as adver
tisements, lor that is their true character.
But seriously, this blockade running strikes me
as a curse of grievous and growing magnitude.
It not only stimulates extravagant and reckless
speculation, but it supplies tbe enemy and
others with cotton, and postpones the cotlou
famine for which we have watched so eagerly ; it
discourages legitimate enterprise, and does not
add to our capacity for carryiug on the war. But
for such wild and exciting ventures much more
of the surplus money of the country would find
its way into producing enterprises, aud thus aid
the glorious woik of industral independence. We
shall not be free, let the war end however soon,
83 long as we encourage or allow cur tradesmen
to impose Northern wares upon us; nor so long
us we rely on any other country for tho staple
article o> domestic use. These may be liaokney
ed assertions, but to my mind they loom up iu
figuutic proportions, in considering our future.
t would be a grand resolve if our Legislature
would prohibit the departure or entry of a single
veßSeltrom our ports, except on government ac
count. But Mammon—the god of all sorts of
folly and sin—has not been dethroned in our
struggle against despotism, and there is danger
that we shall exalt him to un eminence dangerous
to the best interests of onr country.
Ail this by the way. There is thus far vary
little of interest transpiring in the Legislature—
none of the committees having reported on any of
tho topics submitted by the Governor.
A bill hos been inGodttced into the House for
the relief oi insolvent debtors. It exempts one
slave. Its object is to encourage a 1 ! to have a
stake iu the institution, and is a good one, provi
ded the principle b J applied to a domicil, or a
home of like value. Nothing would so lend to
render our population stablj as to allow n home
to be exempt from the exact oas of creditors. Iu
many of the old States such laws have worke l
well. In California, a home worth $5,000 is ex
empt; in Texas, one worth SI2OO is exempt, uud
in several others exemptions extend to real estate
to the value of floOO.
The lilancerviiie Mining Company—to incorpor
ate which a bill has been introduced—is located,
I beheve, cu the extensive slate quarry of Col.
lfever. 1 have seen an excellent school slate made
from his works, from which ha is also now filling
large orders from the Government for rooting.
a’bill has a ! so be' n introduced to pro libit the
retailing of liquor. It is by no means certain that
the suppression ot retailing bv law would dimin
ish the amount of drunkenness.
The Senator from your district—Col. Gibson of
th* 4d .it Regiment—arrived to-day, and was cor
dially greeted by his friends and brother Senators.
He i3 in excellent health and spirits.
The question ot the endorsement of Confederate
bonds has been freely canvassed during the week,
and the impression is, that while there is a con -
siderable majority for endorsement in the House,
the vote in the Senate will be very close, and if
the Governor should exercise his favorite prerog
ative, there will bs no chance to pass it by a two
thirds vote. It is possible thut a free discussion
of the subj. ct may change ths m'nds of a number
who appear not fully confirmed iu their opinions
on the question.

Negro Naim.
At a late sale in Charleston fifty negroe i were
sold, singly and in families, and realized the round
cash sum of #50.030. The highest price for sin
gle fellows was #2,500, and the lowest #l2O.
The following prices were obtain-d at a recent
sale of negroes in Clarke county, Va.: One man,
fifty-five rears old, #1,150; man, twenty five years
old, $1,750; man, eighteen years old, $3.020; wo
man, twenty-five years old, and child, one year
old, $2,025; boy, fifteen yfars old, #2,500; boy,
thirteen years old, $2.415; eirl, nineyears old,
$630; girl, six years oln, $900; womnn, thirty
years old, and child, $1,262—a1l common field
hands, not remarkable in any respect, for qualifi
cation or anpearan.ee.
Messrs. Howard and Lakem sold in McMinn
county, n few days since, ten negro-'S for the sum
of $19,245. It is estimated that not less than four
thousand negroes have been brought into East
Tennessee and sold, mostly to farmers, since tbe
war commenced, and some of them to men who
never expected to own a slave in their lives. So
it will be seen that Lincoln’s war upon the insti
tution ;s working like a charm in that region.
At an auction sale in Charleston a few days
since, twenty negroes, varying iu age from four
brought $24,435 —average price
A negro woman was recently sold at auction in
Richmond, Va., for $3,080.
Thirteen negroes betweon the ages of fifteen
and forty—was gold a few days since iu Selma
Ala., for $20,820. ’
In Shreveport, La., negroes are held at high
rates. A fourteen year old girl was sold a few
days since, in that place for SIB,OO.

Richmond Tobacco Market—March 27.
The sudden and great rise in the price of man
ufactured tobacco, and leaf tobacco suitable for
manufacturing purposes i? the mosts r.king event
of the day. Tobacco which was thought hifh at sl.
25 per pound three weeks ago, cannot be bought
now for $8 50; and !ea r , which would not then have
brought S4O per bundled weight, hns been sold
within the past week at SIOO. And still the tenden
cy of ptices >s upward, and the demand excieds
the supply. Tobacco was better yesterday than
ou any previous day. The extent of tac eagerness
to buy can beinfVrred from the fact that some of ihe
half ct.arred and thoroughly wet tobacco rescued
from the ruins of the Public Warehouse was on
yesterday sold at auction for #SO per hundred
weight. The rage for investment in this article
pervades all classes michanics, dentists, doctors
lawyers and legislators. At every corner of every
street may be Been men with caunks of tobacco
to their noses who ten days ago did not know tbe
“Wald” brand from •• pigtail.”
The cause of this sudden direction of capital to
tobacco and its consequent enoimous enhance
ment seen to us chiefly three, viz : the law restrict
ing the growth of tobacco in this State , and the
fear, settling into a feeling of conviction, that the
war will be protracted. —Richmond Examiner, 27.
