F2orida 16bacco- Floricta PrOd,tcts.--We arc
gratihed to learn that Gadsden county friends
have made fine crops of the valuable tobacco which
they cultivate 50 successfully; and we are also in
formed that they obtain good price for the article,
purchasers being ready and anxious to buy, which
shows that the supply by means exceeds the de-
mand.
1t is not generally known in the United States
that the tobacco above referred to, and which has
as yet been grown nowhere to any extent except in
Gadsdcn county, finds ready market in Germany,
being principally shipped to Bremen, and pays the
planter high twenty-five cents for the first
quality.
w hat makes the culture of tobacco profitable to
the planters, is the fact that it is almost surplus
crOp--they being able to make tobacco crop, and
at the time to make three-quarters OF cotton
crop, and enough provisions besides. Fodder can
not well be made with tobacco, but the loss Of this
crop may be compensated perhaps by the hay, which
we learn some Of our planters manage to cure from
the grass to be found in the fields.
As yet none but new lands have been cultivated
for tobacco, the cut-worm prevailing to such an ex-
tent in the old lands to prove very destructive to
the plant we have no doubt, however, but that the
skill and energy of farmers will enable them to
provide remedy for this evil, and that all rich and
strong land, having the right kind of chemical con-
stituents in its soil, will be made to produce good to-
bacco.

State offers strong inducements to the silful and
industrious agrcuurists, not to be surpassed by the
much coveted Island of Cuba, by any of the
most favored regions of the New World. Nature
has here been lavish of her bountIes-we only need
the sweat of mans brow to yield rich fruits to re-
ward his industry.
The Wanted advantages held out by the friends
of Texas turned the tide Of emigration away from
Florida. Our Indian did good deal towards
the same resut-but are led to think, from wha
have and heard, that sober second thought
has convinced many who passed by Florida to 60
farther West, that they erred in so doing, and we
are the more convinced that such is the fact, from
having and heard of number of persons, who
had been to Louisiana and Texas and g located" bu
becoming satisfied that Florida afforded better ad-
vantages to the planter, have returned and settled in
our State.-.4palachicOta .4duertiSer

Planting CheStnuts.-At late farmers meeting
in New York, Mr. Rice, king of planting chest
nut timber remarked, that h" plowed up track of
unproductive hill side several years ago. and planted
it with the chestnut, four feet apart every
way. The sprouts coming up rather crooked and
scrubby, he went the field, and cut them down
close to the ground, which caused new sprouts to
shoot up straight and vigorous The trees are very
thrifty, completely shading the ground, and grow
more and rapidly the soil becomes strength
ened by the annual deposit of leaves. So well salts
fed is he with the experiment. that he is now placing
other worthless lands in similar course of improve
ment

The Post Master General VS.. Pacific Steamers
The Post Master General writes to New Orleans in
answer to complaints of the Pacific Steamers that
he has power to enter into contracts for carrying
mails out of the United States, except by some par
ticular act of Congress- in the instance of the mail
to Bremen. His only general power on that point
is to send foreign mail by any ship, paying two
cents per letter thereof. In regard to the steamer
to Chagres he says:
This contract being with the Navy Department, the
Postmaster General has order, direction con-
troll the conduct proceedings OF those steam
ships any power to enforce any order he should
make in relation thereto. Therefore, order has
ever been made by this department on the subject.
All that has been done is 10 require the mails to be
made up and sent by those ships whenever they 60.
He has ordered all mails sent by steamers to Chagres
whenever they would take them at the legal rate of
two cents per letter TO be sent, and this he has di-
rected to be done even in the steamships going the
same day with those mail steamers, to all those
letters which the writers marked to be sent. The
suit appears to be all the necessary result OF the law
of Congress- and the action of the Executive under
the law in 1S47.
II is also proper to state that neither the U. 5.
Mail Steam Ship Company, which transports the
mail hence to Chagrcs, nor the Pacific Mail Steam
Ship Company, which receives them at Panama, is
concerned in transporting them Tor any thing else)
across the Isthmus. The Falcon delivers her mails
according to contract, at Chagres. The government
at New Granada claims and exercises the right OF
transit over the Isthmus. To guard against any mis-
carriages in FUTURE the Post Master General has ap

.Ns,o Pork, Beef and Lard.-The packets down
from Keokuk, which arrived at St Louis on the Sth,
brought several small parcels of Pork, Beef and
Lard. These were the first shipments of new Pork
and Lard noticed this season, but Beef had been com
ing forward in limited quantities for two or three
weeks past. The Pork and Lard is from Burlington,
Iowa, and the Beef principally from Hannibal, Mo-
made at all the principal packing points, the
Upper Mississippi and Illinois, for heavy seasons
business, and should the weather prove favorable
large receipts may be anticipated during the present
MONTH The ruling price for Beef in the vicinity of
Burlington, Hannibal, and other points on the Upper
Mississippi, is from $3.50 to 80. Hogs vary accord
ing to size and condition from ~ to per 100 lbs

The alabama Coal .Mines.-We learn from the
Mobile Tribune that the produce of the coal mines
on the Warrior river and tributaries, in Alabama,
will this year exceed that of last year. The trade
promises great brskness. Within distance of 50
or 80 miles above Tuscaloosa, the number of fiat
boats for the coast trade, either built, building or
about to be built, is given at 206. The Warrior
river runs on coal sometimes bare, and sometimes
covered by sand rock for hundred miles. The
coal is also bare in all the little streams that

versal satisfaction of the population.
| do not know that can better convey to you an
idea of the spirit which animates this Government
and people, than by transatng passage from the
address to the Chamber of Don Sebastian Salinas,
the Minister of Foreign Relations.
"The ideality ofprincpes and of interest, between
ourselves and the great sister Republic OF the United
States of North America, must some day unite the
two countries in the most intimate bonds OF iratern
ty and mutual advantage. The American CONT
mental spirit cannot be Indifferent to European pre-
tentions over our territory Hence it follows that
our relations with that Republic have been drawn
closer by the strongest ties between the two coun-
tries, both with regard to commercial and political
interests. To realize this company oil responsible
persons has contracted with our Government, under
the influence OF that nation contract Tor the open
ing of the nter-oceanic ship canal, SC"

tated treaty with the Republic of Honduras which
has provisions of great Importance to the Amer
lean line of steamers in the Atlantic, and indeed to
commerce generally
This treaty renders every port of Honduras per-
fecly free far the United States is concerned,
and with view to securing these privileges cedes
to for the time being the island of Tigre in the

REVIEW OF THE
B ALTiM o RE NJ A RkE T,

REMARkS.-We find nothing worthy of special
attention in the general market. The demand and
prices remain without any visible alteration; and the
weather continues remarkably mild and pleasant
AMERICAN DRY GOODS.-The weather has
been too favorable yet for abruptly closing the Fall
business, and several transactions under these nlu
ences we learn have taken place during the week.
BARK.-Quercitron continues to be in steady de-
mand for export, for which full prices paid.
BEESWAX.-Prices are without change ;and for
the few weekly lots picked up through the city 2l4
G224, but mostly y cts. cash, are paid.
BREAD-We note fair demand for export, con-
fined chiefly to Navy and Pilot Bread, and Crackers,
at quotations.
CANDLES.-Thcrc have been very considerable
sales during the week taken for export, including
Sperm at 40, and Adamantine at 30 cts " ID.
COFFEE-The market h Is been inactive owing
mainly to the fact that holders cannot obtain their
prices and portion of the sales made have been lots
OF inferior old crop. The transactions in Rio com
prise $40 bags at range from 81 to 1Oi, and 600
bags Maracaibo, 81 cts. u h., mos. The stock Of
Rio sale is about 5000 bags and the article
is held with much frmnes5, and prices tending
upward.
COTTON.-The transactions have been
limited SCALE and since the circulation of the advces
by the steamer America, during the week, prices
have receded Im4 cent ~ ID. The sales for the
week have been about 500 bales of middng to fair
Upland and New Orleans at liza II! cts. ~ h., 6
mos The stock remaining hand is about 1900
bales.

do. and 6 25d So 80 for Massachusetts.
FLOUR AND MEAL-Thcre has been a de-
cline of something like 81 cts. ~ brl. in Howard
street Flour since our last report, and although
transactions have not been heavy they have been to
fair extent, commencing at So, the closing rate OF
last week, Saturday, and alternating from that
price down to S4.S74, during the week, with con-
siderable sales at $3.50, which we consider about
the average rate for the week. Sales not exceeding
probably 1000 brls. City Mills has been held at IS,
bat we have not been advised of any transactions
except few lots of $50 brs. each, mot exceeding in
the aggegats 1000 brs.) besides 1000 do, said to
