The senior editor of the Enquirer, writing ffom
the Fauquer Springs, quotes SO much of letter
to the Baltimore Patriot as describes the attrac-
tons of the place, and adds the following very
proper remarks:
"The rest of the letter. with few exceptions, is in
exeerable taste and far oversieps the bounds Of modesy
and even commone propriety. No gentleman has
a right to single out as the author does by initials the
private movements Of well bred, intellectual and lovely
women whose purest cham is the deicacy which en-
vrons all their social character and whose highest pri-
vege is to be shielded from public comment aud crti-
cism."
There Is no single custom of modern days
which should be more shocking to delicate minds
than the one, so common in the North, OF publish
ing in the newspapers descriptions of the ladies
collected at the different watering places. Verify
it seems already to have come to this, that lady
in Yankee land fnds it as necessary to be aduer
used as if she were an animal on sale.

THE TOBACCO TRADE.


Eds. Picayune:-The light transaction in the tobac
co market in England has been caused by few large
spectators controlling the tobacco market-demend
ing such extreme prices that the manufacturers take
short supplies, with the hope OF some change that will
opera tie in their favor They paying for strips from
$50 $50 per hundred and for leaf tobacco from $40
$40 per hundred. The export trade of that country
has become very light from the same cause The
manuacur and dea Ie,s in tobacco in Great Britain
and elsewhere will find it to their interest to come 10
the States and furnish their supplies from first hands,

kENTUcKY.--The National Intelligencer con-
cedes the election of Lazarus B. Powell, the De-
mocratic candidate, as G vernon of Kentucky, over
Dixon, Wing. 1t appears that the Democratic
vote is not increased. but the Wing vote largely
diminished. This apathy on the part of the Wings
was due, we believe, to the clashines of personal
aspirations.
The last report by telegraph is. that Presley,
Ewing, Wing, has been elected over Clarke, De-
rnocrat and late member, in the Sd district If o
the delegation will be equally divided as it was
in the last Congress.
TENNEssEE.-The Knoxville Register of the
l4th instant, gives returns of the gubernatorial
election of % counties Of East Tennessee, and
IT counties of Middle Tennessee, in all of which
Gen. Campbell makes gain of 1906 since l849,
when Trousdale was elected by majority OF
1890 The N. Y. Tribune gives returns from So
counties, showing Campbell's gain to be 3,l42.
The Register has returns showing the re-eec-
ton OF Anderson, Wing, over Churchwell, De-
rnocrat, by six votes. But it says the Democrat is
contend there is an error in these returns which
elects Churchwell. The Register regards An
derson's chances as the best. 1t does not explain
why tits that his vote has fallen off so prodigiously
in the midst of Wing successes.
The Register says, as to the Legislature, that
the Wings will undoubtedly have the Senate, and
other information assumes that they have carried
tie House, thus securnga Wing senator in place
OF Hopkins L. Turney, one of the smallest men
intellectually and morally that ever entered the
Senate.
fLABAMA.-The Alabama Journal thus sums
up the result of the Legislative elections as far as
heard from: OF the eighteen Senators elected
twelve are Union, and six Secessionists. In the
iorty-hSe counties reported, there are fifty-segen
Union members elected to the Legislature, and
thirty-one Secessionists.
