Macon County Tobacco.

The Tobacco Raisers of this county have
the acknowledged reputation of producing
the best Tobacco of any county in the State.
Buyers usually make their first purchases
in this county. AT this time, there is gen4
tleman in the county, from the firm of Garth
& Harrison, of Hannibal who is offering
Five Dollars per hundred, delivered at their
stemmery. Hc is making every effort to
buy and wants to purchase all the Tobacco
in the county. M. M. & G. l.. Towncr, Of
Bloomington, are inathe market. Judge
Towner is now out buying, and desires to
purchase 100000 pounds, for which they
will pay as good prices as any other pur-
chaser. We have much more tobacco fer
sale than our friends Towner propose buy
ing; hence we desire TO see other buyers
pitching in before it is too late. What are
our friends at Glasgow and Brunswick
doing? We think they will do better than
Hannibal. has offered; our people have no
particular hankering after Hannibal, and if
they can do as well will not go there to be
locked.
We remark that buyers have much to say
about the war between Turkey and Russia,
and its effects upon thesprice of tobacco,
SC. SC. Farmers pay no attention 10 this
humbug. Good tobacco is worth more than
Five Dollars, and will bring it. This war
will not iniure the sale of the present crop
of tobacco. Stand firm and and ask good
price, and you will receive it, Republican.

" Many persons no doubt remember an
abusive document published in the New
York Herald in the last Presidential CAM
paign, under the title of a review of Gen.
SCOTS military career. 1t was, beyond all
comparison, the most scurrlllous and infa-
nous document that was produced during
the canvass. The editor of the Herald now
states that it was written by the Hon. VIM.
L. Marcy, and taken to the Herald office
for publication by Mr.. Penn, Locoroco mem

ToRAcco.-The Louisville Journal of the

and the receipts light. Sales of small lots,
Tugs 81 4001$5, medium $5(0$5 10, ship
ping leaf 81 1886 70, and manufacturing
leaf $7@$9. There are but few buyers at
present in market. The disturbed state of
Europe exercises an unfavorable influence
on the market.
The same paper of the 9Th, says the &C.
live season has not yet arrived. The sales
Of the week have only been 20 hogsheads
and some few reviews. We continue for
mer quotations. 1t is now beyond doubt
that the crop will not exceed the lowest es-
Inmates, and we would not be surprised if
large purchases on speculation We're soon to
ironspire both in New Orleans and New

On the night of the 22d, the Pork House

burned down. There was in the building
at the time, about 3,40O tierces and barrels
of lard, the joints and sides of about u, 600

slaughtered on the previous day. Only
some 300 tierces and barrels of lard, and

The building and contents were insured to

Something about the Man who calls

For "The Times"

For "Ihe Times"
Mr.. EDIToR:-Allow me space in your
paper TO place the turn-coat Of the. "JefIcr-
son Examiner" before the public in light
in which, he should be. When he lived on
Grand River, prior TO his coming to Chari-
ton county, he was engaged in saw-mill.
Whilst thus engaged, he took up the idea
that it would be cheaper to hook stocks,
than to buy them, and as a natural conse-
quence, he was arrested for stealing timber!
Afterwards he came to Charlton. He
the cause Of Benton daily upon the streets
Of Keytesville, with every loaror that he
could find who would condcscend to listen
TO him. He tried to secure the election Of
old ugly John Miller, over Jim Green, by
all kinds Of rascality. He even went SO far
as to give Anti-Benton's, that could not read,
Benton tickets, telling them lie. He is
now biLter Anti, as we all know, led BY
the ears, by the Governor.
| am told, furthermore, he was a Wing,
in Virginia. As 10 the truth Of this I do
not know. But do know he hooked the
saw logs, and if he will come up here in
Charlton, we can prove it.

THE MISSOURI. coMpRoMIsE.

Mr.. Dixon gave notice of an amendment
he intended TO offer TO the bill to establish
territorial government for Nebraska, which
would provide that so much OF the eighth
section of the act Of Congress of 1920, in
relation TO the admission of Missouri as
State, as prohibits slavery and involuntary
servitude in that portion Of the Territory Of
Louisiana, lying north of SO deg. 80 min,
be declared inapplicable to the territory EN-
braced within the boundaries of Nebraska,
and also inaPplicable to any of the terrific
ries of the United States, and that hereafter
upon the admission of any territory of the
United States as State, the people thereof
should alone decide whether slavery should
or should not exist therein. The proposed
amendment was ordered TO be printed.

Letter Lrom Col. Woodson

The last "Lexington Express" contains
the following letter from Col S. II. Wood
son, which is ''a settler" to all fomentors of
dlscord. We commend it to such jolt-heads
as "Sni-a.bar."
INDEPENDENCE, Jan. 10, 1854.
Messrs. EDIToRs: a communication
which appeared in your paper some weeks
since, over thessignature of "Sni-a-bar," in
which my name is used in connection with
the next Congressional race in this District,
and that of the Hon. Jyo. G. MILLER, with
some unnecessary structures upon certain of
his supposed political opinions, seems to
have produced such a state Of feeling and
opinion with the wing press of the State,
that notice Of ii at my hands becomes an
act Of self-jusliiication.
l deem 1t only necessary to say, that with
the communication in question had no
earthly connection-have no idea who the
writer is-most heartily deprecate any agi-
talon Of the question suggested-and have
no disposition 10 become candidate for
Congress under any circumstances whatever.
| hope | may with propriety add that | am
not the person to detract aught from the we'll
earned reputation or the well-deserved po-
litical preierment of the Hon. JONI G..
MILLER, whose personal friendship, and
whose distinguishes services 10 the Wing
Party and the State, have ever elected nv
warmest regard and most qualified admira-
ton. Very Respectfully,
S. II. WOODSON.

MANUFACTURED ToBAcco.-The Lynch
burg Virginian of the eth says: We under
stand that large majority of the tobacco
manufacturers in this city, fully three
lourths, we are told, have determined to
suspend business until the LIST of April
Many Of the factories in Richmond and Pc
torsburg viii also be closed. In the winter
season the inferior grades of tobacco only
arc usually manufactured and 1t this time
the markets are SO filed with tobacco of
Ills quality as to render its manufacture un.
Proliable-while at the same time it would
lend still further to glut the market, and
illus not only keep down the price of that
grade, but OF the better also. These, we
understand, are the chief reasons for the
temporary suspension, on which the manu-
facturers have determined.

We observe in the last "Rapublican," a
history Of the operations Of the St. Louis
and Keokuk Packet Company, which has
been in operation since 1912. This compa-
ny is one Of the best organized steamboat
companies in the west, possessing the en-
tire confidence Of the pnblic-doing pleas
ant ard convenient business for the comnu-
nifty, and profitable one to itself
It has been source Of wonder to us,
that boating is not carried on with more
system on the Missouri river. Daily lines
of packets leave St. Louis for The Upper
and Lover Mississippi, and the Illinois RI
yer, and passengers can generally make
some calculation when they will reach GER
tain point: and what is OF equal Importance,
they know when they will start--two very
uncertain things with Missouri river boats
OF late years, however, there has been an
improvement in this respect. Particularly
last season, a majority of the boats reduced
their arrivals and departures 10 a system
and we think they were well rewarded
rot only in the Packet, but the Through
Trade.
What we want on the Missouri river is,
daily line Of boaLs between St. Louis ard
ST. Jose ph-one beat leaving each place ev-
cry day. Sundays cxccpted.) Passengers
and shippers could then know what 10 rely
on. Twelve first class boats, owned and
controlled by a joint stock company, could
transact al The business Ct the river, with
profit 10 the company, and greater con2c-
nience TO the public. A regular tariff of
charges could be agtoadupon for passengers
ana freight, so that The company and its
patrons would always know what to depend
upon. We have only time and room to
throw ont the suggestion, and ask for it con-
sideration and discussion by our cotempora-
rics and boatmen. We have talked with
some of Cur business men and capitalists on
The subject, and they are not only favorable
tothe project, but would go into it.
