The Baltimore American of Friday says;
There is still some little inquiry for
Maryland tobacco. especially for ground
leaf, and small sales have been made this
week at former rates, viz-inferior to good
ground leaf $3@$7 and inferior to good
crop $4 50@S8. The demand for Ohio
is also moderate, but shippers stand ready
to take such lots as are offered at what
they consider reasonable prices. About
80 hhds red were sold this week at sea-
Z so, being an average OF ST. There is a
decided willingness on the part of shippers
to purchase, provided prices rule sufficient
ly low, but the results oil shipments to Eu-
rope last year afford but little expectation Of
any active competition in the market.

Negro Troubles.

Nshear Of considerable trouble among
the negroes, in various sections of the coun-
try, and especially in this county. They
are much more FESTIVE, dsobedient, and
refractory, than formerly, and every master
should begin TO keep more strict police
over his slaves, and not permit an indis-
criminate running about of nights and Sun
days. This trouble among the slaves is
one of the legitimate effsprings Of negro ag-
itation, by politicians and office seekers
Negro agitation, in some shape, has entered
every canvass in Howard, for the past eight
or ten years. Demagogues w., mount
the negro hobby, and howl charges Of free
soilism and abolition ism against their OPP
ponents, in every corner of the county;
these charges and their refutatlons were
carried TO the fire. sides, and not unfre-
quently discussed in the hearing of negroes,
and that they should become disobedient
and dissatisfied, is no wonder. We have
frequently raised the voice of warning, and
do SO again. A few more years of negro
politics, by shareholders, will do more in.
jury than all the howlings of the combined
forces of the whole abolition party.

Gen. Scott to start for California.

A Washington City dispatch to the Gin
cinnati Gazette, dated Washington, Jan. Oath,
says that Gen. Scott will leave for Califor-
MIA ON the 9Th of February, not to lead the
army, or organize new movement iume-
diately, but to be prepared for smbodying
the militia Of California for action in case
the President should declare Utah in a state
Of rebellion, as is now contemplated.
1t is thought that This movement, sn6 es-
peeially Gen. Scott's presence, will deter
the Mormons, and be favorable to pacifi-
cation.
The military force now in Kansas will
move forward to Utah as early in the spring
as possible, led by the advance detachment
from Fort Laramie. 1t is thought here,
that they will be able to reach Salt Lake BY
the middle Of June, in defiance Of all OBJ.

The Red Petticoat In Philadelphia

The Philadelphia Gazette, Of Saturday
says:
To a gust of wind which swept down
Chestnut street, yesterday afternoon, we are
indebted for the discovery o. new freak of
fashion. The red wooden petticoats recently
introduced by Eugena, have already found
their way into this city, and will most likely
become the rage during the season. From
momentary glimpse of the article, we sup
pose them to be made of some fine material
like Salisbury flannel, though, possibly they
may be cashmere. Around the bottom, run
broad stripes in bright coors, giving de-
cidedly picturesque appearance TO the ladies
as they gracefully step over the CUTTERS
The ladies will, therefore, dispense with
white ones, and those Gothic combinations
which have, of late, been sohighly in vogue

MURDER AND SUIcIDE,-A negro mar
belonging to Judge Wade M. jackson, of
this county, killed negro woman, fellow
servant, and Immediately killed himself, last
Saturday. He watched for time when no
man person was about the house, and hav-
ing previously provided himself with knife,
he stabbed tho woman twice, killing her i'm :
mediateiy, and then cut his own throat and
gave himself severe cut across the abdo-
men. He lived but few hours. He thought
the negro woman had poisoned or "trioked'
him, and had been laboring under that idea
for some time, and making threats, which
were unheeded, however.

Marble Work-Monuments.

Messrs. BAIER s. BRo., Of this place, are
fast acquiring very just celebrity for the
fine work they turn out from their shop
We have more than once referred to their
establishment, and the manner in which they
get up decorations for the touses of the
dead" To see graveyard ornamented
with handsome slabs, towering obelisks,
monuments and statuary, is a mark of re-
fnement and cultivated taste on the part Of
the community in which they are located
We observe a proper attention is being paid
to the subject in Washington Cemetery,
while many Family Burial Grounds in the
vicinity are beautifully adorned. Some Of
the best specimens in these, are the work of
Messrs. B. & BRo.; and we are satisfied if
those who may want any description of grave
ornaments in marble, will examine their
work and material, they will give them their
orders. They have the best of materials,
and are skillful workhen, and we advise
those who may need anything of the kind to
call at their establishment and examine their
work, before they send orders abroad, or
contract with travelling agents.

Gold Discovery in Barton County.

The Greenfield (Mo.) Southwestern, of the
18th, says,
Agentleman residing near Gold:n Grove,
Barton county informs us that some French
men have leased a considerable quantity of
land in Golden Grove, (about fifteen miles
from Greenfeld,) for the purpose of COM
mencing digging for gold in the spring
Very extensive old diggings are found there
Excavations near twelve feet deep, and
extending about halt mile in length, and
banks of DIRT nearly as high as a mans
head, with trees about as thick as mans
body are found growing in the banks. We
are told that California miners have exaInn-
ed these old diggings, and say there is every
appearance in the world of gold, save the
shining stuff itself-that quartz rock and
black sand is found in abundance. When
these old excavations were made and BY

Rail Roads.

The Courier and Enquirer IN. " pub
fishes also table Of Railroad Statistics, and
gives the aggregate miles of railroads in the
United States at 26,l07. That paper says:
The cost of these $4,000 miles of Rail-
road is estimated at 92O millions Of dollars,
or an average OF 35 to 10000 dollars per
mile. II she rails had been laid with A..
msrican Iron, produced by domestic labor,
il would have been far better for the country
AT large. ... ...
The progress of Railroads in the United
States, their effect upon the prosperity Of
the country and their future prospects, are
much beyond the widest dreams of the
originators OF the system. The number OF
miles built in The first ten years of our
Railroad history, beginning in the year
1928, was l,S43, Of which New York
State built lS per cent. The number Of
miles built in the second ten years, or from
1888 to l848, was 3,739, Of which New
York built Is per cent From 184S to
1856 the number built was 1874, of which
New York State built 8 per cent. At the
present time New York State has over / !
per cent. Of the total length Of railroads
and ranks next TO Illinois in number Of
miles. Our railroad history has had two
eras-The first from 1928 to l848, when
there was in the number OF miles built ar
average increase Of 26S miles per year
and the second from lS48 TO 1856, having
an average increase of $3.50 miles per year
In many of the States the development O.
the Railroad system is quite equal to thu
wants Of the people, but in many others
Kentucky being the most notable instance
it is much less. For the next few years
new Railroads will have 10 be built by loca
assistance and with the aid of the State tc
be benefited. The time has past for thu
West to depend upon us for capital, or fol
us TO look to Europe.

"TnE RAKIsH LITTLE CoATs."-The

behind and fancy little pockets in the sides.
