OBITUARY.

Died at Sapello, Georgia, on the 25th of May
RANDOLPH HARRISON, only son of Lieut.
H. N. HARRISON, of the U. S. Navy, in the 9Th
year Of his age. The unusual brightness of intel
ect that ever characterized this uncommon boy
hung around him in the last hours of his earthly
existence, and renders his loss the more affecting
to his bereaved family. To them we only
say; mourn not as those without hope, but bend
in submission to that Divine will that has only
taken back the loan made you for time. There
was need of this cherished flower for the celestial
gardens, and in mercy it was removed ere it felt
the chilling blasts of wintery world.
s'There in the better land,
And bathed in radiance that around them springs
Thy loved ones wings expand.
AS with the choiring cherubim he sings,
And all the glory Of that God can see
Who said on earth to children, Come to me"

HAMpToN's VEGETABLE T1NcTuRE. BY its
mild actions on the stomach, liver and the kidneys,
will dyspepsia, cough, asthma. bronchial and
lung affections; pains in the back, side and breast:
consumption scrofula, rheumatism, govt, neuralgia,
fstula piles, bo,rel complaints, aoorms and nervous
debiHhes-with all diseases arising from impure
BLOOD and is the greatest female medicine ever
known. This invaluable medicine is working Won
ders upon the human frame. The letter which we
publish to-day will be read with great interest by
the afflicted. We lately had conversation with
venerable clergyman of this city who detailed to us
the particulars of a most remarkable cure effected
by this medicine upon woman who had for years
been sorely afflicted with scrofulous affection.
Similar statements from like reliable authority
prove beyond all doubt, that there is a virtue in
in no other Observation-Disclosures Republican and

ToBAcco.-The active demand which for long
time past characterized the Maryland Tobacco
market has this week become less general, some
of the shippers still manifestng an anxiety to buy
| while others appear to have withdrawn from the
market. This state of this is owing to several
causes. Prices have heretofore ruled unprece-
IDENTIFY high, and the smaness of the receipts en-
abled holders to increase their demands until
prices attained rate which the article would not
bear. 1t is now pretty well ascertained that TIE
crop of last year is not more than half in, and
holders who kept their produce back to await the
result Of the present years growth, find no induce
ment 10 do so any longer, as the amount of in
spections this year will equal that of 1854, and it
is known that larger crop than usual has been
planted, and that the weather has been very suit
able for planting. and now promises to 0e very
favorable to the production of larger crop than
was ever before grown in the State. Presenting
not only on decline in price, but that the stocks
will allow of the selection of qualities to suit par
ticuar markets, purchasers seem to have with
drawn for the present. There is still. however,
demand that pretty nearly clears the market of
the receipts. We quote
Frosted and inferior Maryland Sc; sound COM
mon $6.25 $50; good common to middling,
s6.75 $3.50, and good to fine brown at 81 so a
$50.
