TOBACCO.

In making selections from the public docu-
ment on tobacco, we are OF course necessllated
10 pass without notice many of the tables 1t
furnishes, and give brief account of those only
which we deem of primary Importance. we
shall content ourselves with copying the iacts'
and not append any com.nents-whlch we leave
10 the reflections of those who are more prac-
,ically conversant with the subject than we
can be-
From one table to which we turn, we learn
the value of the manufactured article, the num-
Der Of persons employed, and tn capital invest
ed For what year the table was made, we are
not informed bat we presume 1t was for the
wear 1870 In the six Eastern States the mum
Der of persons employed is 696-the capital IN
vested, S20l, 425 and the value OF the manulac-
tured article, SIS, 1891 In New York, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania, under the same heads
we find | 725 persons employed, capital $751;
e7e and value of manufactures $l,474,329.-
In Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and North
Carolina, a, 1856 employed capital 81, Jas, O45,and
value OF manufactures $2,S27,S56. In the
Western Suites, Lip employed, capital $lo2,-
954 and value of manufactures $S45,747-
More than one half Of the capital thus invested
is in Virginia alone.
From another table we learn that. from the
year 1921 to 1910, both included, there were
exported 1892, 900 hogsheads OF unmanuiac-
,ured tobacco, valued by the Treasury at $751;
1854, being an annual average of $4,000
hogsheads, and an average annual valua OF
S6,567 1926. For nineteen years, including
1921, 75S,477 pounds of sp lif, and 57,346,5l4
pounds of manufactured tobacco, valu toge-
Their at $5,556,5Sl had been exported
For the ten years from 1921 to $780, there
were exported 324,25l hogsheads, valued at
$50, 1886, POI and during the last ten years,
from 1880 to 1910, 967,755 hogsheads, valued
at $74, 457, 1923.
The average annual export in the first ten
years was S2,424 hogsheads, and during the
second ten years. calculating from 1871, 9o,779
hogsheads.
There is one remarkable fact that the guam
tity exported for the last twenty years has BEEN
with few exceptions, nearly uniform, being
somewhere about 10000 hogsheads. In some
few wears the exports have gone beyond 100
hog ,heads In 1910, 10000 hogsheads were
exported, and in lS4l upwards OF l47 600 hogs
heads The last expectation is the highest on
record.
The quantity ofmanufactured tobacco import
ed into The United States i, given in another
table. The importation consists Principally OIL
cigars and snuff From 1888 10 1910, both in
elusive, 638, 1857 boxes Of cigars, and from 1920
TO 1910, 1889 pounds of tobacco were I'M
ported.
The facts that we have touched, we trust, VIII
be useful Other matters contained IN the doc
unent we sh all notice in another article. The
document contains yet som, subjects Of inte-
rest relating to the tobacco trade IN foreign
countries. These we shall notice at another
time.

honor.
The deceased entered the Army Captain, in 1908,
in contemplation of the with Great Britain that
followed and in which he served with zeal and credit
By the mere force of merit he became general OH
Ger in l820in which capacity he was often employed
special missions requiring enterprise, skill gallant
ry and judgment, and always with perfect success
In the Black Haok oar his fine qualities, as COM
nander, were strkingly dspayed-as well IN the
final battle as in all the previous arrange nen's aud
operations.
The emnence here briefly sketched had, for its
foundation, every virtue of the good citizen high
patriotism, integrity honor, manness, and devotion
to the political institutions Of his county.
The loss of 80 much public and private worth can
not fail to be long mourned by the whole Army.

THE NEXT PRESIDENT.


The Republican, with its usual modesty says that
it can readily account for the ohtuseness Of vision"
of the Georgian in not seeing any treason why the
Wings Of Georgia should be moving thus early in IA
vor Of Henry Clay"
While we do not lay claim to that acute percep.
ton which seems to distinguish the conductors of
that paper we are at all surprised that the Re-
publican should take up Henry Clay. In our re-
marks on Saturday we expressed our wonder that
the real State Rights mon of Georgia should forget
their opposition to him-for there at least three
of their presses unwlngly yielding to the dictatlon
of the Jealous portion of party, whose principles
are at length to be diametrbally opposite to those
entertained when Troup and the Treaty was the
watchword in OLD GEoRGA
The Federal press of this city has prated of the
corruption of the Democratic party until it has
persuaded itself that the charge was correctly
urged.
we congratulate it upon the purity of its Clay
foundation, while we shrewdly suspect that the tiles
will not be forthcoming to cover their political edi-
fee or the 7iler disposed to lend himself to such
prohtess employment.
The Democracy, it seems, would be feared by the
Republican, with ''haf good candidate to unite
upon Henry Clay"
We would be sorry to think that there are not
dozen in our ranks whose political principles enttle
them to the free sutirages of the Democratic State
Rights party.
We say emphacay, States Rights party, for ii is
time that this designation should no longer be claimed
by the pess who advocate all those atitudlnMlan
notions of Government, which recently
condemned by all State Rights men in Geogia, and
are advocated now because Henry Clay has lived to
be the available candidate of party who riumphed
in victory only to witness heir confusion.
We cannot believe that GEoRGIANs, to any extent,
prepared to barter their principles TOR the name OF
one, whose only recommendation is that he sided with
their enemies in the most trying periods of Georga's

KNIcKERBocKER MAGAzINE.-The following com
mendaton of this valuable Magazine from New
York paper, meets our most cordial appreciation.
We have always regarded the knickerbocker as taxi
ing the lead of all the monthlies, and ornament
to the periodical literature of the country;
awe have not especially noticed this Magazine for
June although it promptly published, and full,
as it usually Isl of rich and various literary attrac-
tons The truth is, the work hardly. requires our
good word. 1t has established character during the
progress of its twenty volumes and under Its present
able direction to which our commentator, however
cordial could add but little. We have rarely seen
magazine so unanimously and universally popular.
we opened for example, a day or two since, two
leading newspapers, the very antpodes OF each other
as to their section Of countryside one from Massa-
chusetts and the other from South Carona-n which
there happened TO be notices of the number for the
present month The Boston Post spoke Of it as a
smost agreeable number without any thing objec-
tionabe in the matter or style of single article,
and added: /" The h. is now by far the best written
and most entertaining periodical published in this
country. We are perfectly serious in this 1t Is
more what it pretends to be than any of its neigh
borsn The Charleston South Carotnian said of the
same g We do but repeat an oft told tale when
we speak of the excellence Of this valuable maya
zine. The knckerbocker stands at the very summit
Of our periodical literature. II is an honor to our
country and deserves its most liberal support
The tributes to the merits of the h, general and
so unanimous in this country, are not uncommon in
Great Britain. The London Times, Examiner Morn
ing Post .1thenGuml, and Literary Gazette, well as
Edinburgh journals, have praised this work in most
cordial terms; and gentleman of neghboring city
showed us few days since letter from Sir EDWARD

among them several numbers of the knickerbocker
