Insults AT MANTANzAs.-A gen.
tIeman well acquainted with the facts
assures us that the indignities offered
to our Government by the authorI-
ties at Mantanzas are utterly dis
graceful 10 us. He informs us OF one
among the many, which we will mar
rate. The U. S. brig Boxer was "a
few months since in that port. The
officers one day entertained a COM
pany Of ladies' and gentlemen on
board, and when they were lowed
on shore two of the sailors carried
some of the ladies' cloaks, &C., to
their houses. They were not in the
streets more than fifteen minutes
Before they got back to the boat they
were arrested by the city authorities
charged with creating a riot, and pla,
ced in the stocksi There was nc
ground at all, our informant saws, fol
the charge.
The Captain Of the Boxer demand
ed his men. The authorities refused
to give them up, unless a fine wa:
paid. He then made application t.
the Governor, who refused to inter
fere. Consequently the captain wa
obliged to pay a fine of S4,25 70
each man, before they were allowe'
to return to the brig.
This is but n among the man,

ToR,cco.-There is a letter from
the Paris correspondent OF the Ma
tionaI Intelligencer, in that Journal OF
the Goth ult., in which some details
are given from the Report OF the d.
rector of the Tobacco Reggie. Large
ouanriiies of that vegetable are pro-
duced in France. although 1t is cult
waited in five only of the eighty SIX
departments-of forty-fve millions of
pounds in leaf. produced by the ad'
ministration of the rcgie in l84l, on
" tw~entv-six millions were foreign.
and that chiefly American. There
are ten royal establishments for the
whole quantity manufactured. About
thir,v-six millions are worked Up an-
n%ualiv. of which thirty-three are Tor
smoking and shutting. The cost to
the government for each klIlogramme
ortwo pounds, is one frame and nine
sons: il sells for nearly six francs
and the profit TO the treasury last
wear was seventy four millions OF
francs. Three hundred and fifty
persons are employed in the culture
and offices. $4,000 licensed as ven
ders. and 5.lOO operatives IN The iac-
tories. who reside in the ncIghhor-
hood. are subject to a strict discipline
well paid and well treated in every
respect. A large quantity OF Tobacco"
must be laid up for years To give the
. hes, manufactured article and ensure
the growing d~emand--the a. cunt IN
store should he of the value ct 30,
100000 francs. The administration
has commenced the manufacture oi
cigars and cigarettes. A class OF
youth from the Polytechnic school is
drafted to superintenI all the process
of the establishment. The repor'
states that the strictness of the reggie
is so well known in America. that nj
ter the tobaccoes are publicly and
officially classed. the best and dear
est qualities are always put aside as
French tobaccoes.
The plant has become a necessary
of life in France, Germany. Holland,
Belgium, Spain an Great Britain. nc
longer a mere fashion any more than
tea in England. Its consumption
therefore. must be on the increase,
which is proved by its rapid advance
in France. The culture is to be per
sued under the favor of government
in Corsica and Algeria, where the
soil is well adapted TO 1t. Agents
have been sent thither to s%uperlntend
the crops, and a supply is expected
which will cover the annual deficit o

o. Ireland will force herself on
the attention of the worlds polItI-
clan, whether be will or not. Her
position is now one of the proudest
amongst tie nations! How great
are her grievances; how calmly does
she bear them; yet how vigorously
she tries to remove them! How much
philosophy does she mix in her treat
ment of those h%eariachlng ills that
have grown in her system for centu-
ries, What a grand practical lesson
she is now teaching the world! Ev-
ery dav she assumes new and more
distinct features of nationality and
national power. A singular history
is hers. And yet how little do we
know Of it! Her present condition.
it is true, has been forced upon us by
repeated discussion. But of her ages
of glory, of government, of literature,
of poetry, of music her soul-inspi.

things. We do not account Cor the

For the Radical.
Mr.. .74ams:-I am fully apprizcd OF
the position you occupy, and the obliSa-
lions you are under, according 10 your
original prospectus, to keep your col
umns neutral as to politics. l trust you
will not consider me as intruding on
those obligations. to make few sus-
gestions through the medium of your
columns, on political expediency. Is
housing particular measures, and having
in view their adoption, it would seem
necessary to adopt that mode honorabIy,
which was best calculated TO insure har-
mony in the ranks Of those who honest
" espouse the same As the
time is approaching when the people
will again make a selection from among
their fellow citizens, to fill high and i'm
portant trusts, which will become vacant
under the constitution and laws, 1t is
therefore a matter Of ~cxpediency with
them, what mode shall be adopted to in
sure harmony and success to the cause
they espousc; and being n who advo-
Gates the principles Of the democratic
party, under a thorough conviction OF
the propriety of the adoption of certain
measures, | am free TO acknowledge,
that ! should like to see them adopted
under the auspices Of Mr.. Van Buren, al
their head.
1t is well known that the organs cfth(
democratic party have differed materially
as to the mode which should be adopted
by the party, to select delegates to form
a convention: to elect delegates to senC
to the National Convention TO be hclC
at Baltimore next May, 10 nominate {;
candidate for President and Vice Presi'
dent. This being the case, is it not i'm,
portant that the people composing the
party. should take the matter into theil
own hands, and settle the difference
While some OF our friends throughout The
state, seem very tenacious TO elect dele,
, gates by districts, TO send 10 the n~ationa
convention, others are in favor of hay,
ing a State Convention to nominate can
! didatcs for Governor. Congress, Sc, an,
: at the same time elect delegates to III.
National Convention. Tic latter mod,

usage, and ] am fully pursuaded it vii

HEMP.-Thc Western ExpositOr says
the Hemp crops in that section of the
State, are much better than was antici-
pated some time since. Many crops
since cutting, have been found to be
nearly, if not quite as good as last year.
The crops in the p~rairies are to some
extent a failure, but in the rich timber

p. Sr. GEORGE Cooke Captain Of
the U. S. Dragons stationed at Fort
Leavenworih, in a letter to the Ma.
tionaI Institute, written after bis re-
turn from the last excursion to the
Mexican frontier, describes with
great minuteness a new grain discov.
cred by him, which he is very san.
guine will be found a valuable add
ton to the national agricultural inte-
rest. He says:
In travelling from Fort Leaven-
worth about one hundred miles to
the southwest. we first see the "bufa-
10 grass" by this name alone the
subject of this letter is known to the
wanderer of the Far West. Ad.
vancing in the same course-on the
SANTA Fe road-this grass very
gradually increases in quantity, until,
at the Pawnee Fort Of the Arkansas,
about 81 deg. west longitude, it very
abruptly becomes not only a prevail
ing growth, but the almost exclusive
vegetable production.
In the country northeast of its Pc
culiar region it is only seen on the
poorest spots (sand resting on cIay)
and in the road; it is of a pale green;
falling, it takes a slight ROOT on the
Joints of the stalks; these joints are
eight or ten 1t number. and are four
or five inches apart. This peculiari-
ty is only observed on a close inspec-
tron, for, the joints also sending up a
short stem. on which is found the
grain and slender blades, it resembles
an unthrifty blue grass; and, like that,
it forms a sod. and Il smoother anG far
harder one. About harvest time the
country turns 10 the yellowish brown
color of our ripe grain field; and in
extensive views the eve Is only re-
lieved by the green of a single varie-
ty of spice weed. which dots the
smooth brown surface Of the earth.
Thus. so short and very withered IN
appearance, it seems wholly lnSuttl-
cient to support animal life. whilst
proving with its grain i rich and am
pie food for countless builaloes; and
also for the diminutive but far more
numerous "prairie dogs
