A CONVENTION OF TonAcco GRow ERs.-

A CONVENTION OF ToBA Geo Grow ERs. "A
Convention of the producers and buyers o.
tobacco will be held in Louisville, KY, or
the 25th Of May next. That is the day fix.
ed for awarding premiums 10 the grower.
Of the best tobacco under the auspioies o
the State Agricultural Society. The desigr
of the Convention is to bring the producer:
and purchasers together, in order to an in.
terchange of opinions. The Agriculturist.
may learn what grades are best suited tC
the market and will meet the most ready
sale. The Louisville Journal, speaking o
the great commercial importance Of the sta
pie says, that the value Of raw tobacco ex'
ported from the United States to Grea
Britain was over $500 1000 in 1855, ant
during the first half OF the present century
that country collected import duties on it II
the amount of enormous aggregate of owe
$50 100000. The total value of our ex
ports of tobacco in 1857 was $40 ,662, ,772
and in 1853 amounted TO $l9,4 $50
| During the first nine months Of 1859 tn,
import revenue derived by France from i
was over S25 100000. fourff,hs Of whicl
were exported from the United States
The Cyc!opedia of Commerce says that to
bacco, next TO salt is probably the artici
most consumed by men. Inone form or an
other, but most generally in the form Q
iume or smoke, there is no climate in whicl
il is not consumed and no nationality tha
has not adopted it. To put down its us
has equally bafIled Legislators and moralists
and, in the words CT Pope, on a higher OBJ
ject, it may be said to be partaken of "b
saint, by savage, and by sage" The aver
age consumption per head of male popula
;ion over eighteen years, in some countrie,
seem almost fabulous. In the Germa
States, included in the operation Of the Zol
verein and the Steuerverein, it reaches froi
81 TO l2l pounds; in Holland, Belgium an
Denmark to 8 or 8 pounds. The advanc
cost OF tobacco is shown from the fact ths
in 1852 we exported l50,7l0 hhds, at a
average cost OF $50 ii, and in 1857 onl
l56,S4S, at the average value per hid. {
$l3 ,240.

Blot French author, in speaking Of o
school of Phllosohers whose views of i'm
mortality are scientific, but peculiar says.
You do not die; you only change your
state of aggregation. It Is true your nitro
gen, your hydrogen, and your carbonic sep
arate; they are distributed through the at
mosphere, penetrate plants aud animals, o,
are absorbed by the earth; but as no atom
perishes, you continue to exist. the only diff
ference is thai you find yourself reduced h

The burning of the Vixen at the foot of Built

their baggage. Two men persisted by the catastro-

to be $4,000. At the time the boat was bound for
