Buchanan County Tobacco.

1 ET Our friend, Mr.. G. DICKINSON, of
this place, presented Us, on Tuesday last,
with half dozen neatly made segars,
made from tobacco grown the past year
in this county, from Connecticut seed J
AS we do not use the weed, we have to
depend upon the testimony of others, as
to the quality Of the segars, which were
uniformly pronounced very good. con-
sidering that they were newly made
A friend Of ours, in the lower portion Of
the county. also raised some Of the
" weed" the past summer. and there is
but little doubt that tobcco could be
raised here a, large profit. Mr.. Dick
ISsoS informs us that good crop in the
Connection, Valley realizes in the neigh
borhood of $500 per acre. and with any
thing like proportionate prices, with the
productive qualities of our SOIL there can
be but little doubt that its cultivation here
would pay very largely. We believe. as
We have repeatedly said before, in raising
and manufacturing, as far as possible,
whatever we consume. Tobacco, we
find. is not unimportant article of daily
consumption among our citizens. We
are inclined to think it would astonish
not few Of our readers if we could state
the precise amount sent out of the county
the past year for this not only useless.
but offensive article. 1t would amount,
we are sure, to several thousand dollars.
Many men make it their primary article
of purchase and of use. depriving their
families of Injuries and necessaries. in
order that they may blacken their teeth,
dirty their mouths and render themselves
disagreeable and filthy. We have seen
scores OF men, during the late hard times.
who could BY no possibility, according to
their view. find the means to pay for their
paper, or even to buy groceries or other
necesssries for their families. who yet
seem to have no difficulty in obtaining
the wherewith 10 purchase. every week
or two. a small quarter. section of tobac-
co.
But We do, NOT suppose that We can, by
any argument. decrease the consumption
OF the article. Men will use it, and the
best that we can do. is to advise them to
raise it for themselves. Several thous-
sod dollars annually would thereby be
rssined in the county. which is now
sent away. 1t would help to stop the
leAk which is keeping the country i'm
peverished. It would help to relieve US
from that dependence upon the East
from which we have suffered, and still
suffer. Looking upon it in this light,
the cultivation oil. the article here we
conceive to be worthy Of encouragement.

Improvement.

Ea5- We notice that Messrs. KIYsLEy
d BowLEr are making an extensive ad.
dition to their store, adding sixty FIVE
feet to its length. This will make the
store one hundred and five feet in depth,
making it longer than any store in the
village. This improvement has been rem
dered necessary by the increased bust
ness of this firm. fact we are glad to
chronicle.

WASHINGTON, June es.-EGorts are making
without probable success. to effect en- arrange.
ment By which both Wigs Of tie Democracy in
New York shall run the same electoral ticket
for President and Vice President. A similar
arrangement is to be made in Pennsylvania ii
possible. This important aud startling move
nent is evidently based upon IN agreement that
Douglas is to be allowed chance TO secure the
election before the people BY the union Of the
factions, thus securing the yotes Of those two
States, on the condition that if the election goes
to the House, be shuli give the vote Of the lii
uois delegation to Greckinridge.
NEW YoRk, June e7.-The Ut+ald's Washing
ton correspondent says Mayor Wood has besn
there comforting with Breckenridge, Douglas
and the Administration. He suggests that
there should be but one electoral ticket 10 the
State Of New York, with the electoral College
uppiedged to either candidate, but to throw tie
voie for either Us may be most polite. Ills
proposition seems to meet With favor from both
sides. If, however, these pacific councils sEa!l
not prevail, aud the Administration does not
throw itself into the fight, the probability III
that Mayor Wood will 50 with The popular sent
iment OF the State, which be thinks is in favor
Of Douglas. The impression is tha. the Admin
istration will throw their whole power in favor
Of Breckinridge and Laue.
