i~gaehbarg and Richmond tobacco Markets.
Though Tobacco has not been as high in our town as
usual, on account Of the %inclemency of The weather, still
we believe II now lar surpssses Richmond. For the
'as' several weeks there has been shipments from Rich,
'nond to this place. the article being higher IN his mar
st Than thai. We have heard Of a gentlemen, living
IN tlnSanna. who had sen, his Tobacco 10 Richmond 10

market. Planter Is ltem flusanua aud other Inv caun~

Tobacco In our market that " as snipped lmm Clafks

"NECEssITY THE TYRANT's PIE

The editor Of the New York Commercial Adver-
tiser rebukes the spirit of thanksgiving to Heaven
manifested in England at the success Of the British
arms in India, and adds:
sNot a christianity consistent mode Of proceeding
after great victory would be TO kneel in humiliation and
to lament the awful necessity that had brought about
terrible thing and humby mploe the forgiveness Of the
Almighty, that his fearful dspeasure might be poured out
the nation in whose and name, and the by
whose bloodaned hands, such miseres had been inflicted
upon the creatures of His power and his bounty"
But might il not be deemed mockery Of EIea-
ven to talk Of the "amfd necessity Of destroying
SO many human beings! Nations fond of conquest
create what they are pleased to denominate a me-
cessity, and proceed on that as il it were decree
of Heaven. Algeria, China, the islands of the
ocean, and the Indian tribes, bear testimony to this
fact. We do not know that the course of powerful
nations can be changed, but we would suggest a
more appropriate designation of motives. When
Charles talked to Buckingham about the decencies
of the Soveregm's private relations, the reckless
Duke quietly asked what these decencies were.

A GIANT CHAIN OF RAILROAD.

A bill has been ordered TO a third reading in the
United States Senate 10 aid the State Of Mississippi
in the construction of a railroad from Jackson,
through Brandon, to the western boundary of Ala
bama. As il has received the support Of all par.
ties, without reference to locality politics, and
was passed to the third reading %, nays B.
we presume there be no doubt of its finally be-
coming law. The aid is to be given by the grant
of alternate sections of the public land along the
proposed road. We are pleased to see that there
is prospect amounting almost to certainty, of the
passage Of this bill. The railroad is a link Of the
great chain between Charleston and Vicksburg, and
when completed, the communication from Portland,
in Maine, to Vicksburg will be entire, with few
trifing exceptions. II will be one of the noblest
thoroughfares in the world, and as means Of con-
solidadng our Union, and bringing its opposite ex-
remes into closer fellowship, will have an import
ant political and social influence. II will be the
means, too, Of adding to the value of parts Of the
chain Of road now detached and comparatively USE
less. Thus, with terminus on the Mississippi
river, the Vicksburg railroad will soon become Of
great importance as the southern link Of the giant
chain, which, running through Mississippi, Alaba-
ma, and the Caronas, will ascend along the Allan
tic seaboard through Portland, and eventually into
Canada NORTH american.
