Petersburg Fifty Years Ago.

Mr. Charles Campbell has furnished to the En-
press an interesting account of petersburg Fifty
Years Ago." prepared at his request, by Mr.. Levi;
Mabry, an old and respected citizen. Mr.. Mabry
gives the fthe principal business and profes
sional men ofthat period He says that in those days
very large quantities of goods imported direct
from England, and very many merchants from the
country bought their goods Of all kinds in Peters
burg. 1t was rare thing to hear of any from the
Southern counties or from North Carolina going to
the North to buy goods. There were four -four
mills and fourteen tobacco warehouses. Mr.. Mabry
gives some interesting and curious cts about the
tobacco trade. He says "there were q. 600 hogs.
heads Of tobacco received per annum at these in
spections. 1t mostly rolled in upon felloes, and
some without, and very little wagoned. MANY
hogsheads were so much damaged by wet az to re-
guire to be trimmed off in considerable quantities
and many hogsheads were refused, and when re-
fused it was burnt, and total loss to the plan
ters Stone or brick furnaces were erected at each
warehouse to burn it in. In those DAYS it was sold
from the face Of the note, without having been seen
by the buyer. When the planter had procured the
notes, he went from store to store, enquiring DO
you buy tobaccop and most commonly the answer
would be another question, DO you want any
goodss' Many merchants would put up a sign.
cash FOR TOBACCO There were several stemme-
riss of considerable extent, but very little tobacco
was manufactured about that time; nearly all was
shipped TO England"
Mr.. Mabry says that at that time dredging
machine was at work in the river as it is now re-
moving large quantities Of sand and mud but when
ever there was heavy freshet, large quantities
were again brought down, and deposited in or
about the same places, which had again to be re-
moved.

The funeral of the late J. N. Carben, Of the firm

benevolent orders, of which he was an esteemed
member, followed him to his last home.
Nothing occurred in court this morning, save
the trial of a neighborly quarrel between two
drunken women, both of whom were duly punished
for their fractions tempers and dsorderly charac-
ter. The police are doing, for the present, very
small business.

The directors Of oar banks held q meeting this

condition of the North, and the effect It may have
on themselves. They, however, adjourned without
doing anything but the general impression here ID
that they will have to suspend though II does
affect their charter; for Northern brokers are buy
ing up Virginia funds at discount of 10 per cent,
for the purpose Of draining rs Of our specie; and
we are informed that one broker in baltimore
bought up, on Saturday, 81, 200, at the discount
above named, and will present ii for redemption as
soon as he has enough to justify the trip. Thus
they will supply themselves with specie ut our ex-
pense. The effect will be 10 lift Virginia funds from
q discount TO premium.
We panied to notice the death Of Dennis
Dawey, Esq., who has been acustom-house officer
for years He died at his residence in this city
this morning. He was advanced in years, and had

The quiet OF the vacation begins to be dispelled

proximo, and the students rapidly arriving
Strange faces meet you on every hand. The first
arrivals are mostly of new students-those of pre-
vous sessions, who intend returning, having gen.
orally engaged rooms, are not so promptly on the
ground. The indications point to a considerable
increase upon the number of last session. All the
dormitories within the precincts, and very many at
the neighboring boar6inghouses, are engaged By
the close of the week. accommodations in the i'm
mediate vicinity of the University will become
scarce; but students will be at liberty to board
in Charlottesville, no difficulty is apprehended in
suitably providing for all who come. 1t will be
necessary for late tospread out little more
than usual. But this will not be without its bone
fits. They will be able in many cases to secure &C.
commodations in private families, and will have
the advantage of moderate and regular exercise so
conducive to health and mental activity. When
the students were restricted by the regulations to
the licensed boarding houses they often sought the
privilege of boarding in to'on. They may enjoy this
privilege now without restriction. NJ.
