Tobacco Warehouse Notice.

E N accordance with the unanimous vote of the Fl Convention notice is hereby given that the Warehouse is open to dH ,cho desrous of join ing Association. Those who have not already entered their members can do so at any time previous 10 the first of January, 1860, ahen the books uW be closed for the season. and no one will be ad- mitted as member of this Association ajter that dats Those who do intend to join us in perfect. ing the system that has proved beneficial to the tobacco grower s interests will confer favor upon us by making their intentions known at as curly dty as possible as it will enable us to as- certain about how many boxes we shall want for the season. Although the first of Janury was fixed by the Convention the last day for receiv- ing members names to this Association it is un- derstood that nebers Tobacco l be receiced at any time ereafter untI the close of the packing season
 have hitherto advised farmers to make three sorts when ' stripping but as buyers have not appreciated this assortment would now advise to make but two. But you cannot be too particu- lar in tSis. Put all that are wrappers into the wrapper sort, and put the rest into filers. Every filler leaf put into your wrappers injures their sale more than four filler leaves are worth.
 am now ready to advance in cash from c. to 8 c. per ID. on your good wrappers when deliver ed at Warehouse. This is much as you obtain ed for your leaf before the Warehouse was estab- lshed, and probably much you would now obtain if the Warehouse was not in eristence. In answer to the question asked at the Convention h views respecting prices that the 1859 crop will be worth this season. would say that whereas by making my views public on former occasions, those who have not assisted us have tin tie opinion of nine-tenths of the growers.) been as much bene- fitted as those who have borne the expense of ob- taiaing and puJlis ing this information. And where as the unanimous vote of the Convention was that Hereafter such information should not be made public have therefore only to say that will ob- tain for all leaf consigned to Warehouse this sea- son is fair market pa!ae. The spcculator to whom you may sell your Tobacco can obtain no nore And if tkey can make profit on what they buy you can make more, for their expenses are more than yours are through hhe Warehouse. Spectators after trying to buy your Tobacco on commission and at Jess prices than charged at Warehouse, and as I have heard in some instances have agreed to do it for nothing rather than have it come to Ware house. Did they ever take your Tobacco on commission before the Warehouse was established !? And have you any idea they would now thus take it if the Warehouse was out of their way? Is it then generous is it good policy your part to thus throw the weight of your influence into the hands of those who doing all in their po,cer to destroy the system which you all admit has been the sole cause of raising your Tobacco from to 16 cents? We expect opposition from those whose interest it is to oppose us, but when those who admit that we have benefited them turn against us there is but little encouragement for us to continue working for them.
 Gentiemen toof to your interests, ana De not deceiped by those whose interest it is to deceive you. Remember the truism of Holy Writ. [" The buyer says, ' It is nought, it is nought &c, &c., and which is as true now as ever. Those buyers will soon again be among you, and as in former years will all their arts to deceive you that l they may obtain your Tobacco at less than its value shall be viliied by them usual-Neu
 Warehouse will be started for the purpose of ' d. uiding you' that they may conquer you," but gen. tlemen, your interest is to concentrate your crop to one point, and the more of you who do so thi' year the more of you will tss gear do better than those who fall into the hands of spectators, and nert year you will find many of them anxious to join us, and it will be but few years before the great mass of tobacco growers of this valley will
 be found united in one solid phalanx. t eae b'
 done, and it aOiu be-nark the prediction.
 Rembember that in union only there is strength That every crop of Tobacco thrown into specula
