TOBACCO PLANTS KILLED.-The Rich
mond Wing has received the following let
ter from an intelligent planter residing near
Milton, N. G:
''The tobacco plants, as far as I have
heard from, are generally killed. I have
information from Halifax, Pittsylvania and
Charlotte counties, in Virginia, and Caswell,
Person and Granville, North Carolina, and
it appears they are almost entirely killed,
except in few beds covered with hog hair,
which is said to prevent the Throwing up
of the land and to impart a good deal of
warmth. AS consequence, these beds
have been partially preserved. For once,
seed are said to be really scarce, on account
of the lateness of the last years crop, and
the early frost rendering the seed imma-
ture," =

A Washington despatch saws

Chevalier Hulseman has again got him
self into squabble with the government,
and Gen. Cass has been obliged to write
him to-day long letter upon international
law and the privileges of ministers. It
seems that the Chevalier had some dispute
with the master of a negro woman that he
had hired as servant, and the master
meeting her in the street told her to go home
to his house. The woman did so, and the
wrothy Chevalier has invoked the interposi-
ton of the State Department to defend his
right as Minister Plenipotentiary of Austria
against interference with his servants
General Cass' letter is said to be an exqui-
site brochure, as he has very little sympa-
thy for dirty work of any kind, and less for
that of Austria.

A strong minded lady of Massachusetts,
subscribing herself ''Wife and Mother"
has been taking the New York Tribune
sorely to task for its structures upon female
dress; we quote the closing paragraph
~ on say that the Empress Eugene, for
purposes ST her own first started the, to
you, terrible fashion, Pray do let the
Empress Eugenie's and your wife's, if you
have one, and your neighbor's wife's and
everybody's wife's purposes alone. If wo-
men are foolish enough to get married, do
please let their dress alone-if they eontrive
to appear one fourth Of a gear at time, do
let them do let them do So" This broad
side brought the philosopher" down.

CURIOUS CALcULAr1oN.-The following
estimate has been made of the probable a
mount which it costs the individual men,
bers of the different Churches in the United
States to sustain their respective Churches.
The estimate is founded upon the last Uni
ted States census. A Baptist or Methodist
three dollars and forty cents; Presbyterian
seven dollars; a Congregationalist ten dollars;
a Roman Catholic fourteen dollars; an Epis-
copalian eighteen dollars: a Reformed Dutch
taoeaty-taoo dollars: a Unitarian twenty-three
f7OZlars.

A NOVEL L1cENsD LAw.-Mr. Hanford's
license law in the New York Assembly is a
most novel feature in legislation. It pro
vides that no person shall drink strong IL
quors without first obtaining license, which
may be granted by any justice of the peace
on the following terms:
For a license to drink lager beer, IS cents;
for whisky and home made liquors, 81; for
French or any imported brandy, 81 SO; for
champagne, Burgundy or any foreign wine,
S..
Clergymen and editors are exempted from
the provisions of the bill on the ground, we
suppose, that they belong to the ''moral
classes" and never drink: to excess. The
hill was referred to the committee Of the
whole. IN. Y Mirror.

The New GOVERNOR OF KANsAs.-The
Governorship of Kansas has undoubtedly
been accepted by the Hon. RobertJ. Walk
er, and he will 60 out to the scene of his
important labors clothed with plenipoten-
tial powers, and earnestly animated, if we
may credit report, with the determination
to close finally the disturbing scenes that
have from thence diffused their exciting in
fuence throughout the Union, and to con-
duct the inchoate State safely and quietly
through the travail preparatory to its full
admission into the Union. Mr.. Walker is
admitted to have the personal abilities ne
cessary to this task, and would only have
been induced to accept what is usually con-
sidered subordinate post, from the consid-
Grafton that circumstances now surrounding
Kansas make it field in which presentre-
putation and future advancement may be

SOMETHING AS Coop AS INDIA RUBBER
A correspondent Of the Scientific american
sends that paper a specimen of substance
which has the property CT India Rubber,
but is produced in all the States of this
country south of 80 degrees, and is in a
solid form. It may easily be reduced to a
suitable shape by expectation. The editor
says it looks like the real caoutchouc. The
discoverer is Joseph E. Ware, and if the
article possesses the physical properties of
India rubber, he has made a discovery of
inestimable value.

THE NATIONAL HOTEL ENDEMIC.
report of the Washington Board of Health
does not appear to give very general salts
faction. Professor Antisell publishes a
communication in the National Intelligent
Ger, in which he reviews the report of the
committee with searching scrutiny, and pro-
pounds several questions which the public
will be glad to see answered. He says, in
conclusion:
81 think the cause of the disease as yet
undiscovered and the evil of directing at
tention to conditions not capable of produc-
ing it is to draw away the mind from the
proper pursuit. Imperfect sewerage is not
a defect of the National Hotel only, but of
the whole city, from the avenue down to the
canal, itself indus of disease; and those
localities should be more or less affected if
it were a noxious miasma from sewers
There is still some hidden cause, which,
spite of good sewerage, may yet arise when
the hotel is again filled, unless examined
and rooted out previously. This question
the cause-still hidden, Notwithstanding the
statement of the committee, should be in
vestigated further The summer is at hand,
and what was confined to the National may
become metropolitan. Of all causes of dis
eases the meteoric causes are the most diff.
cult to determine; they are fugacious and
elusive, and therefore the necessity for fur
Their examination presents itself as far as it
can be carried out. The valuable time for
examination, the period of the disease has
gone by; the little which remains to be
done should be finished at once before the
warmth Of summer approaches.
"My object in this letter is not to assail
the committee personally not one of whom I
know, but to show that the evidence they
had to deal with was partial and defective
that the conclusion which they draw from
the evidence is not fairly adduced there
from; that any recommendation based on
this will be only beneficial by haphazard
and that as far as regards the action of the
committee, the cause of the endemic has
still to be written"

ATTEMPT AT MURDER.-On Sunday even
ing an attempt was made to throw the
Washington train off the track, near Laurel,
where, had it proved successful, would have
destroyed many lives. On the track, on
each side of which was a ravine, two
heavy logs were placed, but fortunately they
were thrown off by the cowcatcher without
doing any harm. The train was going to
Baltimore and the effort to throw it off the
the track was caused by some malice to-
wards the road or with view to rob the
passengers had the villainy proved success
full. Hanging is far too good for the wretch
who would thus hazard SO many innocent
lives.
