The TOBACCO TRApE.-lt is generally known
we believe to those interested in the tobacco
trade of Lynohburg. that our manufacturers are
in the habit of getting their supplies of leaf
casonally from Richmond. This has been ac-
connted for ON reasons belonging to Legitimate
and judioious tlude. We understand that the
"hreaks" at some of the warehouses lately have
exhibited a new and more surprising feature. t.
wit: That tobacco is in some cases bought Ivy
the hogshead in the open markets of Richmond,
shipped to Lynchburg, and resolved on specula-
ton. This is complete reversal of u natural
gnd established current of trade, and suys more
for the liberality of our traders than volume of
eology, when the railway connections with the
West and South are completed, 50 that direct
transportation of the manufactured article may
be effected. We expect to see this anomalous
and extraordinary fact in trade become Gus
tom. Richmond must then look TO her interest

We learn, from an article in the Western Rail

Condition Of Cuba

A letter from New Yorker in Cuba, which
we find in the Journal of Commeree, says that
having seen the principal part. of that island,
and noted the Notifications and preparations for
active war, he is satisfied chat the people of the
United States have been systematically deceiv-
ed by publications which have Intentionally mis-
represented many things too obvious for mistake.
There arc twenty -four thousand regular troops
on the islnnd, and to these will soon be added
three thousand negro troops, to be attached 10
each battalion as flank companies. The num-
Der Of frigates, armed frgates, and "guafd cos
tas,' all well manned, on the eoast aud IN the
harbors, is four times greater than is generally
known here, and there are are also number of
vessels which may easily be converted into YES
sells of war Of from ten To twenty guns, besides
which four steau ers and six ships of the line are
now on the way TO Cuba, in convoy transports,
with six thousand regular troops, one thousand
of whom ARE artillersts. This writer adds:
"A register of al the andholders and royal
iss, and those suspected, is in the hands Of the
Governor All those who can be- relied upon,
and those suspected, are noted In the hands
of the former, arms will be placed in the event
of invasion. and all suspected will be immediate
" arrested. The ammunition aud arms are
carefully guarded, and arrangements are made
in case Of trouble TO pass all public and private
treasure into the More Castle. The foolish young
fellows in the States who join the 6libusters IN
expectation of plumber and easy conquest, will be
Disappointed and, instead of realizing these
expectations, will find defeat dcath--or imprs-
eminent The natives of the island supposed to
be friendly to revolution, are feeble race, ig
norant Of military matters, without organization,
arms or concert-And will disnppoint the ek-
peciatiens Of their friends in the United States

THE Sun BEAUTIFUL REsIpEScE.-There
was time when men were declared insane
for asserting that the sun was labitnbe
world. A long time ago Il scientific gentle
man stated, in paper To the Royal Society,"
that the light Of the sun proceeds from a
dense and universal aurora ercircling it, and
at some distance from il. This would iIumine
the sun, and give to its inhabitants all the
light desirable. The same paper proclaimed
that there was on suns surface, water ard dry
land, hills, dues, rain, and fair weather; and
that the light and heat was eternal; thus max
ing the sun one of the most bissful haLita-
tons that God ever provided for his most in
telIigent creatures.--1'his gentleman was
deemed to lie deranged; but about ten years
ago Sir William Hershell confirmed this opin-
ion by series of observations and expert
ments on the structure Of the sun. 1t is not
at all probable that the Almighty has made
any portion of the universe without providing
inhabitants for it; and il is extremely absurd
to suppose that SO large body as the sun
should be devoid of animal life.

gT- A writer in the New York Times re-
commends the sowing of tansy about the
roots of peach trees, as a means Of preserving
them. He SAYS that he once knew large
peach tree which was more than forty years
old, while several generations of similar trees
in the same soil had passed away. This led
to examination, and bed of tansy was dis
covered about the trunk. 1t was naturally
inferred that the preservation of this tree to
such green old age was attributable to the
presence Of tLis plant. 1t was decided to try
the experiment on others. and accordingly
few Of the roots were placed about each of
the other trees or the premises. some of
which gave signs Of decay. Not only has it
preserved, for severnl years, the sound trees,
but renovated those that were unsound.-
The odor of the plant, he says, doubtless
keeps off the insect enemies of this kind OF
trees, and might have the same effect on
others; as the plum, apple and pear, as well
as the elm, sycamore, and other ornamental
trees.
