TOBACCO market has been somewhat
slack since our last report, although not entirely
quiet. The advices from the other side, so far as
regards political concerns affecting the German
and Dutch markets, are very discouraging, and ma
tcrially check animation among purchasers here I'M
less they can operate favorable tcrms-hence
in great measure the apathy in the market. Fac
tors on the other hand, knowing the limited extent OF
the ne,c crop which will be brought oward are very
firm in their prices for DID, and this diversity OF views
keeps buyers and sellers widely apart-sales are
therefore on moderate scale. The inspections Tor
the week have been as follow: Mary land, 495 hbds.;

Mr.. EDITOR: think Major French, the respectable
president of the Telegraph Company exhibits altogether
too much sensitveness at the late article in the "Unon'
cautionihg our democratic friends not to credit tele
graphic reports unfsvoabe to their cause, which may
be put in circulation by the wings through means o
the telegraph when it is too late to contradict them
That article, in my judgment, prudent and well
timed 1t cautioned our friends to be on their guard
against false information sent through the telegraph BY
INSCRIPTIONS wing partsans upon the eve of the cleo
ton. That was right; and past experience, notwth
standing Major Frenchs plea of nm ei record proves
that it was necessary was in Boston and New YoTk
when the intelligence of the results of the elections in
Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Ohio received. The
first intelligence through the telegraph and IN the
case Of each OF those States was grossly inaccurate
The first returns from Georgia gave the State TO the
wings by large majority the popular vote, and six
members Of Congress Pennsylvania and Ohio also
carried per telegraph by maoes Of thousands for the
wings. remember well seeing in the Journal of Com
remark by the editors that the first reports by

days since to converse with of the most inuen al
