PROPOSED MATCH Tennessee VS.. the Union.
Tennessee is coming out. Look at the fol-
lowing extract from a letter by NASHVILLE,
to the N. Y. Spirit Of the Times. We observe
that some thirty entrances Of the tallest
kind have been already made.
"The people of Tennessee arc a plain mat
ter-offact generation. They believe that a
horse coming out ahead and winning fairly is
the best, even if tie other has made hqi4aculous
time elsewhere, and they obstinately adhere
to the opinion that their slop horses can beat
at all distances the fast ones bred in any other
State, the races to come off byer the Nash
vile Course.
"ln this belief they have requested h gen.
tlemaft of Nashville to open a STATE Post Stake
to all the horses in the United States, $4,000
each Subscription, y. P, to close the first of
January next, when the deposite is to be made
in our State Bank three entries to make a
race to come off the last Monday in Sept.
ls42,Aahis race four mile heats.
"lf Virginia, Alabama; Louisiana, and Ken
tncky come to the scratch, the stake must be
worth $4,000, the best yet won in our corr,-
try. III addition, our club will make the sub
serlbers honorary members for the week, and
if they beat US, the stake may be clear rain.
Our track has been put I'll fine condition,
and the Messrs. Carriers, the proprietors, will
offer every accommodation and comfort to
render their time pleasant, and if beaten in
slow thine they may console themselves it was
a destiny not to be avoided"
SNETHES.-The gnethen--the " Great Un-
baked'-has been extensively used up recent
ly by our friends of the Planters Banner and
Concordla lntelligerter. 1t appears the flou
had got hold Of some extracts from Leibig's
Organic Chemistry, in the North American
Review. from which he stole a series of inter-
rogatofies, that his ignorance induced him to
believe were difficult Of solution. These he
propotinded to the planters of Louisiana, with
the view of proving his sapoir and their igno-
rance. The impudeit plagiarist (not to dse
a more harsh epithetJ was met by the Banner
with extracts from Leibig; and by a "Planter'
in the Intelligencer, With a fund of fact and
reason such as never entered into the inate
pate of the inefable srethen.
The editor of the Tdtelligeneer, for the puHr-
pose Of trying the depth of the snethenfs
philosophy, requests him to inform his few
readers Which side of a hen has the most
feathers on besides giving him some other
equally important 1htters to discuss. To these
we will add one or TWO more.
LIST. Did the Snethen's " anxious MOTHER.
understand the art of preserving pickles!
I'd. If SO, how CHANGED it that so grand Il
cornichon as the "Great Uunbaked" ever got
abroad
Sd. Which is capable of devouring the
greatest quantities of cheese, the long-tailed
rat with four legs, or the bob-tailed rat with
two legs!
4th. Is the "Great Unbaked" emperor or
viceroy of the distinguished Rat Nation of
New=O orleans!
Of course we don't expect from an odd
rat" a categorical reply to these questions.
ToBAcco Enthusiastically United States
Commercial Register contains a statement of
the shipments of tobacco made from this coun-
Try for the twenty years beginning with 1921
and ending with 1910.
1t appears that during that period there were
exported 1,792,OOO hhds. valued BY the
Treasury Department at 8 131,356 ,544; being
an annual average of $1,000 hhds., or $685., :325
dollars.
From 1924 to 1889, inclusive, there were
exported 7sS,47 lbs. of snuff and 5,196,1154
lbs. of tnbacco, being Al annual average of
$1,000 hhds. or 1885,, 2
For the first ten Years OF tile series, 1921 to
1881, there were exported s24,245 hhds. of
tobacco, valued at S56.ss9,2g1, and during the
last ten years, 1881 to ls41, 967.155 hhds.
valued at. $74,457,223 excess of the last
ten over the first hhds. A3,5l0, value, ST.
567. 1872.
The average ANIMAL export in the first ten
years was 1924 hhds, or $5,6s5,929 and
during the second ten, 96, IT'S hhds. or ST.
44:5. 77222.
The average price Der hid. for the twenty
years was $73.21-fof the first ten, SOIL;
for the second 1858 ; or taking 1ss00 as the
average weight of the hogshead, the price
during the twenty years will be g., 1Da100 cts.
per ID ; fret 81 cts, and the second ten 6, 40
100 cts. per ID.
There has been a wonderful uniformity in
the Quantity exported for twenty years. The
price in 1889 exceeded that of the other years,
in consequence of the short crop that year
The proper account has not been kept, so as
to show the product of the different States.
GooD.-The Natchez Free Trader speaks
Of the efforts making in that neighborhood TO
improve the breed Of hogs and the Western
Farmer and Gardener and New-York Spirit ct
the Times, abound in notices of the exertions
made in sister states to introduce superior
races of stock as well as to improve the races
at present in Keeping. n. York has its State
Agricultural Society, a society to witch the
State appropriates a certain sum to ensure its
success and almost every other State is &C
lively engaged in preparations for fall exhibit
tons at their annual fairs. Thus, we have
only to go beyond the limits Of our own State
to find every one alive to the Importance Of
doing something towards enhancing the facili-
ties for our progress as a nation on the sway
to wealth. It is hoped Louisiana will not be
longer in arrear; and that she will make a good
showing in November next. q
t5 The pieayune remarks, " black, the
livery of grief, is now the prevailing color
worn by our citizens" The only business
done by those in good health, (the same paper
intima.es) is to assuage the pangs of the dying
and provide a resting place for the dead. We
