Florida Tobrcco-FIorIda Products.

We arc gratifed TO learn that our Gadsden
county friends have made fine crops Of the valuable
tobacco which they cultivate successfully; and
we arc also informed that they obtain good price
for the article purchasers being ready and anxious
TO buy, which shows that the supply by no means
exceeds the demand
II 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 a ready market in Ger
many, being principally shipped to Bremen, and
pays the planter as high as twenty-five cents for
the first quality.
What makes the culture of tobacco so profitable
TO the planters is the fact that il is almost surplus
crop-thcy being able to make tobacco crop, and
at the same time to make three qua 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
Asyet, none but new lands have been cultivated
for tobacco, the cut prevailing TO such
tent in the old lands 10 prove very destructive 10
the plant; we have doubt, however, but that the
skill and energy Of our farmers will enable them to
provide remedy for this evil and that all rich and
strong land, having the right kind Of chemical con
sttuents in lite soil, will be made TO produce good
tobacco.
What with sugar, rice, indigo, tobacco, Sea
Island and short staple cotton, tropical fruits

mate will allow Of being cultivated with success
the live oak, juniper, cedar and pitch-pine OF our
forestsour turpentine, and last not least, fish
crics--our State offers strong inducements 10 the
skilfu and industrious agricultursts not 10 be
passed by the much coveted island Of Cuba, nor by
any Of the most favored regions Of the new world.
Nature has here been lavish Of her bountes-we
only need the sweat of mans brow to yield rich
fruits to reward his industry.
The Wanted advantages held out by the friends
of Texas turned the tide of emigration away from
Florida. Our Indian war did good deal towards
the same result-but VIC are led 10 think, from
what we have seen and heard, that " sober second
thought has convinced many who passed by Flor.
ida TO go farther west that they erred in doing;
and we arc the more convinced that such is the
fact, from having seen and heard of a number Of
persons who had been to Louisiana and Texas and
located, but, becoming satisfied that Florida af-
forded better advantages 10 the planter, have re-
turned and settled in our State dpoiachicoia Adp

The Usage Indians.

A delegation of the Usage Indians, from
the Neosho sub-agency, consisting of a
principal chief and four warriors, and ac-
companied by Mr.. PENN, interpreter, ar
rived in the city on Friday evening, and
are quartered at Makers Globe hotel. The
cause Of their visit, we learn, is the non
payment of the annuities before the an
nual hunt, on account of the absence of
the sub-agent, Mr.. BELL, for which no
reasons had been given and they have re-
paired to Washington to make their com
plant
On Saturday, they were presented to
the Commissioner Of Indian Affairs, the
Hon. ORLANDO Brown, who received
them very kindly, and informed them that
the non-payment was owing TO the serious
illness of the agent on the way to the ma
ton, having been sent out in June last
and that he is now recovered, and by
this time among their brethren distributing
the annuities. He stated, then, after some
further conversation, that he would take
them TO his chief, the Secretary of the In
terror, by whom they would be introduced
to their Great Father, the PRESIDENT.
They then proceeded to the Department
Of the Interior, accompanied by the Com.
missioner, and were joined by Mr.. EWING,
with whom the sons of the forest seemed
highly pleased, and were escorted to the
Presidents mansion.
The PRESIDENT received his red visiter.
in the east room; and was introduced tC
the principal chief, WHITE HEAD, and The
other warriors, and saluted them cordially
He welcomed them 10 Washington; wa.
| glad to see them; and trusted that thei
people were happy. The matters Of which
they complained, and which had brough
them to Washington, should be attended
to by his commissioner, who was before
them, and who would sec justice done
them. WHITE HEAD replied, through thu
interpreter, that they had travelled grea
distance to see their Great Father; they
were pleased with his kindness, and would
SO tell their people.
The PRESIDENT then entered into con
versation with the chiefs, in which he di
rected their attention TO agricultural pur
suits, the rearing of stock, &c, and warned
them that subsistence by the chase wa
becoming very prccarious, and would al
ford them no longer reliable living.
The chief, White Head, thereupon pre-
sented to the President roll of drawing
and paintings, carefully tied up, which h
said had been made and given him by tn
little girls Of the nation, to present to thei
Great Father, Of whom they had all heard

Ad VaIOrem Duties.

The free traders on the two sides of the
water do not seem to agree in their views
of the propriety of nd palorem duties. In
speech before the Hinchford Agricultu-
raj Society, Mr. D'IsRAELI, the great ad-
vocate of the protection doctrine in the
English Parliament, recommended " an
dd valOrem duty on ALL articles Of foreign
import whatever" The London Econo-
mist, leading free trade journal, thus
discourses on the project of Mr.. D'Israeli:
''Mr. DIsraei is to have an ad ualore,a duty
all foreign articles imported that is duty pary-
ing Nth the Uaiue price Of the article What an
immense amount of calculations and varying
amount of duties levied on more than thousand
articles that would give rise to- needs explana-
ton As TO corn, which varies very much in value,
and may season be eighty shillings and another
thirty shilings quarter, his plan would revive the
sliding scale in the worst possible shape Suppos-
ing his ad ualorem duty TO be ten per cent, it
would levy duty of three shllings per quarter
when wheat was worth thirty shilings and eight
shings quarter when it sells for eighty shillings.
Such amonstrous scheme can only be designated by
the word used by Earl Stanhope; it is absurd, and
we shall not at present say word further ON the
subject. Mr.. D'lsrael said he would stake his
reputation if the farmers would put into
the hands of their leader the magic weapon of q
sinking fund, and ad cdlOren duty. We are
afraid he is a sad profigate He has staked his all
and little though it be, it is lost for ever"

WASHING TON:
MONDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER IL. 1919
The New York election.

The New York Tribune is confidently
of the opinion that there is an average
Wing majority on the State ticket of nearly
1000 votes; and still hopes that Nelson j..
BEACH is chosen Canal Commissioner, IN
defiance of the Anti-Rent vote. WASH
INGToN HUM is doubtless chosen Comp
troller; and the Senate is pretty surely
Wing. The House still remains doubt
full, but is more likely to be Wing by a
small majority, than otherwise. 1t is sup
posed that five Wing Judges are elected,
and three Locolocos; in which event, the
justices of the supreme court this year
chosen are as follows:
Dist. l. WILLIAM Mitchell, N Y, Hing.
H. John W. Brotcn, Orange, Loco.
=" Ill WILLIAM b. WRIGHT, Sullivan, JpMg.
" DANIEL CApEy, Fulton, Jphig
" FRED w HUBBARD, Jefferson, Loco
+" VI VIM. H. SHANKLANp, Cortland, Loco.
VII THos. A. JOHNSON, Steuben, Iphig
q VIII JAMES G. HoyT, Genesee, Whig.
We copy from the Tribune a table of the
majorities in all the counties of the State,
liable to be somewhat varied by the official
returns, but probably not so much so as to
change the result. We have endeavored,
says that journal, to choose carefully and
impartially among the conflicting reports
by telegraph from various counties, and
believe the average of the official returns
will prove quite as favorable as we state
them. Still, where run is so close, it
would be idle to consider any thing GER
tain until we have the official returns.
That the four Wing and three Coalition
candidates on the Anti-Rent State ticket,
Excluding Mr.. Toilet, for Canal Commits
sioner,) are all elected, can scarcely be
doubted:

slavery, wherever the question could be
met" We are gratifed to learn that Mr..
VAN buren, took occasion to deny that
he either wrote or voted for the resolution
complimentary to General TAYLOR, adopt
ed by the first Barnburners' Convention
in New York. The resolution passed at
the meeting, he admits, but for the reason
that there were some Democrats present
who had been made to believe that Cen
eral TAYLOR was in favor of the Wilmot
proviso, and were ready TO go for him on
that ground alone, sinking all minor differ
ences. elbow they were deceived" he
added, "and how the country was deceived
on that point" il was not necessary for
him to state. He concluded his remarks
by avowing the determination never to
go into national convention with slave
holders
When we see the leaders of the Loco
ioco Free Sellers at the North denouncing
President TAYLOR for being against the
Wilmot proviso, and the leading organ of
the Democratic party assailing him for
being in favor of it, and not 'acting like a
Southern man in regard TO it, all right
minded men must be convinced Of the
propriety of the course adopted by the
President, in Withholding any expression
of his private opinion on subject which
may come before him officially as the chief
magistrate of this great republic. Still
more sincerely must every patriot rejoice
that he has SO nobly maintained this posi-
ton, when we see the most distinguished
leader Of powerful branch of the North
ern Democracy denouncing the Southern
enemies of the proviso with bitterness
only to be equalled by that with which the
sole organ of the Democracy at the seat
of government denounces It's friends. 1t
is fortunate for the country that in these
double menaces of faction we have a
PRESIDENT whose aim it is to be the chief
magistrate of the WHOLE PEOPLE.
The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1849-11-12

much skill and progress in the art, and
were warmly praised by the President,
who seemed pleased by the present. White
Head also presented little package,
neatly tied up, which contained beauti-
full and finely wrought bead purse, sent to
the Great Father by little Usage girl.
The PRESIDENT again addressed the
chiefs, and told them that he had given
directions for their comfort while here
that the Commissioner of Indian Affairs
(his oticer) would attend to their bust
ness ; and that suitable clothes and pre-
sents would be given them before they re-
turned home.
The interview then terminated, and the
Indians, after being shown through the
east room, and conversing with the Sec
rotary of the Interior and the commits
sioner, retired to their quarters, evidently
much gratified with the first visit to their
Great Father.
