markets but severe drought, prevailed up to a late
date and threatened to curtail the crop 70 an alarm

thatswe might know the ultimate fate Of the crop
and form more CORRECT conieetures in regard to the
flture course of this market. 80 ri 30 .ssnfs ,.i
I'm reviewing the transactions Of the past season
you win perceive that the average price halls far
short Of TINT of the previous one, Notwithstanding
the receipts, at this port fell nearly $4,000 hhds
Short as compared with the year 1858. 90 s,a.at5.

stocks in all the open markets Of the world satisac
torily account for this market decline. t,fiv
Short crops aud consequent highprlccs for three
successiyeyears stimulated its culture in sections
where thespant had been but recently y,iutroduccd.
A larger AREA Of land was planted in the older
States, and highly remuueratiNe prices gave addi-
tonal impetus to its production in Enrope and even
IN Africa. aeda hsh 57isa ssaB Lgs.ity l7
The consumption has not Kept pace with the pro-
ductiou of the weed, and the inferior grades now
upon our market must suffer by a. comparison with
the fine qualities of the new crop. In several
counties, bordering on Greonli River, the drought
very materially injured the plant. This remark
appliesgalso to three or four counties known as the
Clarksvie region and an unfavorable change in the
weather. towards the close of September alarmed
many planters and caused them TO cut their crops in
an immature state Other sections, however, have
been more FAVORED, and we confidently look forward
for fair average receipts whilst the quality will far
excel that of the past year, - 300 assis Doe
1t is not our intention, however, TO advise or sup

Gentlemen ;---faa li--.os .i1i aaoaaTlao
i am truly sorry that my present engage
ments prevent me from accepting your
kind invitation Of the. 9th inst, to at
tend a Barbecue at Monticello on the 9TH
of October. Itwould give me great pleas
ure to meet with my political friends Of
Kentucky, and especially the distinguish
ed gentlemen whom you name as Likely
to be with you.l1 The future of our country
depends very much upon the course of the
Opposition during the next twelve months.
They hold its destinies in their hands; and
if they will attend alone to the dictates of
patriotism, they rcano easily maintain the
ascendencyp in the government But if
they turn aside to consider to whose bene
fit and personal advancement success will
Ienure, they will be routed and dispersed
and ought to be. The public man who
sees nothing in the prosperity, greatness
and good government of the country aside
from the elevation. of himself and his par
ty to place and power,'is wholly unfit to be
trusted by the people. In the minority
as we Of the South are, our line of conduct
must necessarily depend more or less upon
the course of affairs in the North. IF that
large numerous and respectable portion
of the people there, who at heart are Meth
err Democrats nor Republicans, who desire
a good government for the whole country
and wish to live on terms Of kindly equal
ity with fellow-citizens of every latitude,
will stand forth and assume an organized
form, we can rally under common stand
ard. But if the alternative submitted to
our choice, should be Douglas Democracy
or Seward Republicanism---the issue is
hardly worth following to its conclusions
r. With considerations ofregard, | am very

s@. The editor Of the LOUISVILLE Journal
makes the following pen portrait of Sena,
tor Douglass: aat W ~ Is-,fll bod
Our opinion of Mr.. Douglass quality
and calibre as a statesman is known We
do not consider him a statesman at all.
He in our judgment is merely a shrewd
ambitious, energetic, reckless, unscrupu-
lous, ,halfeducated, ,half-informed, half
blooded politician. His force of charac,
ter is uncommon,i but nearly everything
else about him is SO very common as to be
vulgar Mr. Douglas has considerable
volume ofintellect, but it is OF. a low or.
der,,and of "a coarse quality. In itself it
is not even respectable. The strength and
weight of will is everything there is rare
or great in him. That to be sure is no
small matter, far otherwise, but when com
bined with grovelling instincts, low pur-
poses, and shallow faculties it cannot en-
title its possessor to rank of statesman;
and it so combined in Mr.. Douglas. The
combination is patent to every discerning
and impartial observer ala liaj % .s.7's

We cannot close this brief summary without re-

bacco,' Another source of loss to the farmers is

proximating guide to the extent Of my crop
As the receipts of western tobacco are
steadily increasing, we should not be sur
prised to see the aggregate of the State
inspections for 1S59lGO overrun that OF
any previous year; and this is the opinion
Of many careful observers who base Their
calculations on the luxuriance of the yield
