tees the shipment, from that port, by
Messrs. Schaer 81 Kuster, merchants of
that city, of seven hundred hogsheads of
Tobacco, valued at 100000, direct for St.
Petersburg. This is the first entire cargo
of Tobacco ever shipped from the United
States to Russia.
A letter from mercantile house in Rich.
mond, Va, to correspondent in Baltimore,
says:
"The long continuance Of dry weather has
recently caused considerable speculative demand
for Tobacco, which has put up our prices and
unless We have long rainy season Immediately,
no more Tobacco will be planted, and there is
not now half crop growing"
The American says:
"Recent accounts from the principal Tobacco
growing counties OF Maryland represent the crop
10 be suffering very much from drought. In
some places the plants are Short in others they
are almost dried up, for want Of rain. So great
has been the injury, that unless we have rain
shortly, large portion OF this important crop
will be destroyed entirely. There is now no
doubt that il will be short OF an average one,
and even with favorable weather for the balance
Of the season, the quality Of much OF the Mary.
land Tobacco will be inferior.
These remarks will apply with equal force
to the Tobacco crop OF Virginia.
"Our first accounts from Ohio were favorable,
but as complaints Of dry weather have recently
been heard from that State, it is feared that the
Tobacco crop will be less than usual and OF
inferior quality"
The "Richmond Times and Compiler"
gives an appalling picture of the drought
in Virginia and North Carolina:
THE corn crop in all eastern Virginia, except
in the rich lands on the tide water, will be a
failure. The tassels OF corn were destroyed by
the intense heat without rain, and furnished very
little pollen; the consequence is, that the ears
are, a large portion OF them, without grains,
while few are filled. Some fields look ss though
they would make tolerable yield; but upon
taking of the shuck from the ear, an exhibit OF
grains few and far between is made, which is
distressing to the farmer. The prospect for to-
bacco is growing daily more desperate. Tie
farmers will now have 10 try their skill in good
economzing, as well as in providing substitute
for articles OF food which are deficient
THE Danville Reporter OF Friday represents
the drought there 10 be severe. 1t complains
that persons are boarding corn; that some, whose
granares are grooming under the weight Of their
surplus grain, are holding up for 50 per barrel.
1t states that the people in "a vast section Of
North Carolina, south and west OF Danvlle, are
sending their wheat, corn, and rye there TO be
ground-lhere being no water for the mills in all
their country. The same is the case on The
North side Of the Dan; and the citizens OF Pitt
syvania, Halifax, etc., send great distance to
the Danvile mills. 1t paints a curious picture
Of the assembled vehicles OF various kinds, of
horses, men, and boys, which besege the mills
"Here we have had very little rain for some
time, while the weather has been changeable."
