Tobacco Sales at Red River Landing
oxLEY's MONTHLY TOBACCO CIRCULAR

LONDON, May 5, 1858.
Our Tobacco market during the past month has
been entirely devoid Of interest. The actual wants
of the home trade, in the absence of any special
inducement to invest, were not such TO call for
any active renewal Of operations beyond limited
purchases for assortment, until the last week or
two, when there was eight extension Of business
at former gu otations. For exportatlon orders
filed TO the extent OF some 300 hhds. of middling
and good Kentucky leaf, chiefly for the South of
Europe, and the sales Of the month Of all descrip-
lions may have reached about 100 hhds.
The Continental markets are all in dull and
depressed condition, whilst the frequent removal
of parcels of tobacco to London indicates either
an excess of stock or superfiuity Of the descrp-
lions required for their own consumption. As 10
the future course OF the markets generally, 40
moro can be said than that II must necessarily
hinge upon the prospects Of supply whethe 1t DO

clusIvely for Great Bdain. Prices are undoubt.
eddy much above their natural level, but at the
present time, so far IS the market OF the United
STATES may be supposed TO have any influence
their tendency is to induce frmness on the part OF
holders IN dealing with existing stocks, when the
natural demand reaches them,
LlvENrooL, May 6, 1858.
There is not the least change in the general
character Of the Liverpool tobacco market since
our last report Of the 7th ut. So far as business
depends on the homo and Irish trade, the fact OF
these channsls Of consumption being lightly stock
ed, ana requiring frequent replenshme assures
to the market steady though limited demo nd, aud
the months transactions show no variation In
prices.
The total sales reach about $50 hhds, ineludin ny
$50 hhds Of high class Virginia, aud 40 Kentucky
leaf, for exportdtion chiefly TO the coast Of Africa
whilst the dealings with the homo trade and ireland
were about $50 hhds, embracing the usual assort-
ment, Inclusive OF $50 hhds Of Msrylsnds.

"Oh that mine enemy would write book !"
is no doubt the constant exclamation of Mr.. McRae
Nothing would please him more just now than to be
"vindictivey" and Indignantly" assaied by the
Democratic press. He burns for more material for
controversy. But not just now, Mr.. McRae. The
people too intelligent to be mised by your argu-
ments, and the Democratic masses are too much at
ached to their organization to be swerved from by
any appeals which you may make. Every plunge you
make but sinks you the deeper in the I" Serbonian
bog" You are destroying yourself politically, and
not those whom you assail. Confidence is tender
plant and of slow growth. Nip it once at the root,
and it will sprout no more Hence the /" course of
sprouts through which disorganzers are invariably
put; but not just now. The days will be longer in
April and May and we shall then have more time to
devote to you in editorial columns.

The RECENT FRAcAs AT WAsHINGToN.-We copy
from the Charleston Mercury the following account
of the recent fight in the House Of Representatives.
Mr. Barksdaleo of Mississippi, and Others interfered
to separate the parties-were struck and dealt blows
in return. Southern gentlemen, and especially Mr..
Barksdae, have not had justice done them by the
black Republican accounts of this difficulty. The
Mercury says, friend who eye witness, sends
us an account Of the affair, which annex. From
this, it appears that Grow who is one of the most
pestent abolitonists in Congress, was not only out
Of his place. but out of order for the rules of the
House are imperative that member must be at his
scat when he addresses the Speaker of the House.
The following is the statement:
WASHINGTON Feb. 6, 1858.
At about two o'clock A. NJ Gen. Quitman offered
proposition to disentangle the proceedings in the
House. Mr.. Grow who was one of the asles on the
democratic side of the House, Directing a little
tartly, Mr. Keitt said to him, Go on the other
side Of the House, to which you belong If you want
to object" Mr.. Grow answered. "l'll object where
l please" Mr.. Keitt then said, wait till l can
come round and Ill take care of you" Mr. Kett
went round and said to him. "You abolitonist pup
py, move to your side of the House, and don't stay
here" Mr.: Grow said, "I'll stay as long as I
please" Mr.. Keitt then choked him for an instant.
He then started off, when Mr.. Grow said, I" You
can't come from your plantation and crack the whip
over me-" Mr. Keitt turned back and said 4" I'll
choke you again for that insolence" and he grasped
his throat second time. Gen. Davis, of Miss then
interfering, wrenched Mr. Keitt round to keep them
apart, and pressing him against the of table,
Mr.. Keitt partially fell. Mr.. Grow, when Mr..
Kett wrenched round to separate them,
struck at Mr.. Keitt we Think but did not reach
him. Mr. Barksdale, in interfering to separate them
was struck, and dealt few heavy blows in return.
The whole thing was sudden, and over in moment.
There was not much excitement prevailing before,
or afterwards. This is succinct statement of the
whole affair, which will, doubtless, be greatly exag-
gcrated by black republican prints. The whole
thing was extemporaneous.

WASHINGTON NEws-The majority of the Senate
committee on territories preparing report and
a bill for the admission of Kansas into the Union,
under the Lecompton constitution. They are acting
without reference to the question whether the free
State or pro.savery party has the Legislature and
State officers In Difference to Senator Douglas, the
chairman of the committee, who has illness in his
family, the report will probably not be made before
Thursday in order to give him time to prepare his
dissenting views. Messrs. Wade and Collamer
will unite in third report 5." a. ai l~Fsfzi t'
It is clearly understood that in the event of the
persistent attempts of the first to psss the Minnesota
State BILL proposition will be made to unite It with
the Kansas measure that the success Of the may
depend on the passage of the other. Such at least
is the present programme ~

PARTY OBL1GATIoNs.-The New York Journal Of
Commerce concludes discreet article this subject
as follows:
"The position taken by prominent statesmen and
presses on the great question now before Congress
brings these considerations practically before the
public mind. A number of men, prominent in the
democratic party and heretofore able and active sup
porters of its leading principles and policy,
arrayed against very large majority of those with
whom they have heretofore acted and are battling
side by side with the republicans, whom they have
heretofore considered their most deadly political foes.
They claim to occupy the same position as when
agreeing with their democratic associates. Their
present republican allies also profess unchanged at
tachment to their former principles; and yet, strange
to say the two classes act together vote together,
and apparently sympathze with each other in the
fierce battle against the democracy. 1t is not for
to say that these former democrats have turned re-
publicans that the whole republican party in
both branches of Congress have turned democrats
is it for us, who acknowledge no partisan obga
tion decide who shall and who shall not continue
to be recognized members in good fellowship OF
either Of the political parties.
Politicians like other bodies, find their level, and
we suppose those who separate from their political
associates vital political question will in time
find out where they belong. = - %
Much is said about reading men out Of the party.
To US it seems that time will soon determine the
question of political affinity. Those who continue
to act with the republicans will soon come to be &C.
knowledged as republicans. Those who concur with
the great body of the democracy will find fellowship
in the democratic ranks" 80. go 'r.''- $ e

Northern Denocratic Sentiment.

We give below some extracts from Democratic pa
pers in the free States showing the feeling in rela-
ton to Kansas and determination to stand by the
President We might fill our columns With similar
extracts but we publish these as specimens of the
feelings and determination of our Northern friends
1t behoovcs all democrats to stand by the admin
istraton, to insist upon the immediate admission OF
Kansas and to listen to no paltry expedents to In
crease the number of the party Our party cannot
rise by embracing black republicanism, and ndivid-
uas who turn their eyes in that direction will find 1t
so. Let us sustain the President, and the Kansas
troubles will be soon over.-RockLand (Naans) DEM
ocrdt .'. IN.
AS public journalist we have not sought to con-
ceal our position We are witA the President in his
efforts to bring immediate peace and rest to Kansas
and the country, and against any prolonged anarchy
in that unhappy Territory and disquiet over the
whole nation. Let Kansas be admitted into the
Union on an equality with other States in conform
ity with the democratic principle Of "nonnterzcn-
ton in the affairs of State Territory" and quiet
will be restored to the country reject her applica-
ton, and we shall have reopening of the whole
catalogue of Kansas turmoil. rebellion, and crime,
with all its disturbing influences throughout the
States of the Union.-Neso Lisbon (Ohio) Patriot.
A common sense and practical view of the ques-
ton commands admission now. 1t will give peace
to the nation. 1t will quiet Kansas. 1t will give
harmony and union to the national democratic party,
aad confirm its supremacy in the control OF our ma
tonal affairs. This settlement Of the Kansas ques-
ton will not only have the approval of the party,
but the country. 1t will be as popular with the
people as is the Kansas Nebraska act now.-Indsan
apolis Sentinel
The Belfast (Maine) Free Press in bold and patri-
otto terms urges the democratic party to stand by
the national democratic administration, and to ad-
here to its national organization. In this connex'on
it mentions circumstance of no little significance in
the past political history of the party in Maine:
We recollect we'll, when we were invited over to q
meeting of the State committee at Augusta in 1855,
to hear dcnunciations of Franklin Pierce by the very
same'men who are now denouncng James Buchanan.
We met those denunciations then as we mean to
meet those against the administration now. One OF
the most conspicuous and bitter in that consultation
was no other than the renegade Lot NJ Morrill,, who
now reclines in the arms Of the republican party.
Mr. Morrill, found his proper level in the ranks OF
the black-repubcans, and so will all others who
choose to separate themselves from the adminstra-
tion and thus initiate movement to defeat the sue
cess of its measures.

ROANOKE LITERARY SOCIETY-LECTURE BY Rev.
JOHN E. EDwARDs.-This distinguished divine, well
known to many of readers. lectured on the tn
subject, "American Tourists in Europe" A cor
respondent of the Petersburg Express says:
The time occupied in the delivery was about one
hour and ten minutes and the repeated applause
during its delivery, told ephatically how it be-
ing received and appreciated. I do not design Civ
ing you synopsis of the lecture, but the criticisms
on Michael Angelo were peculiarly strong, pointed
and elegant, and according to my notion, equally
just and appropriate. l could not but admire the
boldness of the lecturer in thus attacking, and his
mastery skill in demolishing the fancifully wrought
"Publc Opinion p" that had been long ago manufac
tured by the artists friends and handed down, and
adopted by succeeding generations as "a fixed
fact"
Italy and its sunset beauties also received Justice
and were bereft of the gaudy tints which imagina-
ton alone had impaired to them and in fact every
thing touched upon by the lecturer was treated fair
ly and honestly, but not with that sckening sort of
atery and praise which travellers apt to be-
stow, because somebody else said So" more
properly speaking, because omnpotent they" have
made them " Fairy lands" 5.... . y e
The lecture was well received and the highest en-
comiums passed upon it by ALL A distinguished
gentleman from Northampton went forward at the
close of the lecture and thanked Mr.. Edwards for
the rich entertainment he had afforded him, and at
regular meeting of the Society tonight, the fol-
lowing resolution was adopted by reclamation:
Reso10ed, That the thanks of the Roanoke Lite
rary Society are due and hereby rendered to the
Rev. John E. Edwards for the very able, eloquent,
interesting and instructive lecture delivered this
evening. F~,-....- ~r'" I"
