THE TOBACCO CROP.-We are often asked
says the GAINESVILLE Chronicle are the
prospects for a tobacco crop, we have en-,
deavored to gain information On that inter,
esting subject, and The result is the convic-
ton that not more than twO-thirds of a crop
will be produced in this section. The rains
in the earlier part OF the season were very
partial, and, i'll consequence, there is here and
there fine crop; but the long continued
drought, over the larger portion of the to-
bacco growing region, kept back the growth
of the plant until so late period that is was
necessary TO top it low. consequently the
plants are small. In addition to this, the
cool weather which set in with this month,
and gave promise of an early frost, induced
macy planters to cut too green. and as to-
bacco not fully ripe is always light, the loss,
in pounds, will be heavy even where there is
but little apparent diminution in bulk. 1t is
always difficult, at this season of the year,
to arrive at satisfactory information of the
extent of the tobacco crop, but from all we
can learn. the foregoing estimate is not far
wrong.

The New York Tunes says and reasons that
Mr.. DOUGLAS has entered seriously and de-
liberately upon the task Of compelling the
southern democrats to nominate him for the
Presidency. We quote, in proof, the follow
ing
His speeches in Ohio are the opening blows
In this crusade. What he seeks to accom-
plish by them is to concentrate the democratic
sentiment of the northern States,-and then
bring that sentiment to bear upon the nation
al democrats OF the South. He takes his stand
upon the principle of popular sovereignty,
in the broadcast aud most literal accepiation
of the term and he intends to secure the
open. explicit and uncompromising adhesion
of the northern democracy to the same posi-
tion. In other words he means to go to
Charleston as the unmistakable representative
of the democratic party of the Nortb,-and
in that capacity to claim his own nomination
at the hands of the South, as absolutely es-
sential to the success Of the party and the
protection of Southern rights
He will claim, with perfect justice,
that not single northern State can he car
ried by the democrats upon any platform
which shall be more pro-slavery than his.
There is not single free State in the Union
which will vote for Congressional interven-
ton in favor of slavery in the territories, or
for tue abrVgation of the Federal law against
the African Slave Trade.

what will the President mako dur

Occasional" who has been figuring out
during the last year the. amount OF coudem-
nation that the President will reap during his
Administration. is now calculating his pecu-
MARY profit. He writes:
The manner in which the President of the
United States pays his expenses and manages
his establishment, would be an interesting in
quiry. When we compare the enormous
sums voted to European monarcas with the
salary of the Chief Magistrate OF the United
States, we are disposed TO charge our conn
try with parsimony but there can be no
doubt that. whatever others may have done,
the present occupant of the Presidential
chair really makes money out Of his Office.
Mr.. Buchanan is a singular man in his per-
sonal expenditures. He never had any tastes
or appetites outside OF his circle OF admirers
and friends. He has reduced. by the closest
calculation, the domestic management OF his
establishment TO a-science. Fisnklin Pierce
never thought OF saving money, but opened
his heart aud his house to everybody who
cam TO see him.
Willard Filmare was generous and gen.

His father was a native of the West Indies,

these he collected and published under the
title of Juvenilia, in 1901. he being then

his brother in conducting a newspaper called

Slaves ON railroads.


We have received a letter from a friend
who is now travelingin the North. in relation
TO the system adopted by railroad companies,
| in Virginia and Maryland, to protect the
owners of slaves, and the companies them
selves. These regulations are intended to
prevent the escape of fugitiyes, on the one
| hand, and to relieve the railroads from liabili-
| ty, on the other. In each case, they have the
cordial appreciation Of our correspondent
The railroad companies ofYirginia and Mary
fand. and, we may add, of Georgia also, have
so often been compelled to pay the value of
| fugitive slaves. claBdestinely transported on
their lines, that they have been driven 20
adopt most stringent restrictions, for their
protection.
The case may be stated thus A southern
| family leaves Augusta, let US suppose, with
servants, to proceed 10 New York. A through
ticket is purchased for the servants. They
will pass TO Richmond. without any questions
being asked by the conductors Of intermediate
roads. But, after leaving Richmond, the con-
duetor demands the permit of the Office there,
/ to allow such servants topass. The southern
| family being ignorant nf this stringent regu-
lation, has not obtained it in advance; and
the conductor is then bound by his orders, TO
put the servant out, at the next station. Our
/ correspondent witnessed a most unpleasant
alteration this summer, betwixt an Alabama
planter and the Richmond conductor, which,
but for the friendly interference OF a Caro-
linian, might have resulted unpleasantly for
both parties.
In this case, the conductor consented to
pass the servant, and give him in charge to
| the captain OF the Potomac steamer, who de-
| tanned him in Washington, till proper guar
antics could be obtained One may imagine,
that this was difficult for stranger. The
| Washington Railroad office demands SINH
lar guaranty. before the servant can proceed.
| Arrived at Baltimore, a formal bond must
be executed by the master, having upon il
the security OF resident in that city, known
| to the Railroad officer, and for that bond, one
| dollar is charged. How can a stranger COM
ply with these multiplied restrictions? and
yet, Southern proprietOrs must acknowledge
their justice and propriety
he only remedy which occurs to us is the
adoption, by general agreement, among the
roads. of a passport system, for slaves, in this
wise: If servants leave Augusta, accompan-
| led by their masters, for the North let a
special passport. signed by Col. King, Presi-
dent, be given TO the master, authorising his
free passage. The conductors on the roads,
would know the signature of Mr.. King, and
| thus be relieved from liability. The bond
and personal guaranty, at Baltimore, might
| perhaps, also be removed. AS the case
ellcrs is very great, and some plan should be
devised to remedy the grievance.-SaUannat
| Republican.
