Tobacco culture 10 the North is a
novelty, and yet is pronounced a sue

evidence thatour soil and climate are

that Northern grown tobacco is already

FIENDIsH,-The Louisville journal is
permitted to make the following extract
from a letter written by a soldier in
Western Virginia: We captured a mes
senger from the rebel Gen, Lee, the
other day and found upon his person
an order from the General to one of his
subordinates stationed near us, "to be
sure and take no prisoners from any of
the Virginia regiments Of the Lincoln
army, but shoot them down like dogs, az
they are traitors to their State and her
institutions, So you SEQ what the
Second Virginia has to expect, should
they ever be so unfortunate as to be
whipped, But such things only beget
a liberalization 10 the men never to be
conquered

THE THOUSAND FOLD DEATH BOMB.
Mr.. Thomas H. Spencer, of Cincinnati,
has invented a fearfnl death dealing
bomb. 1t consists Of one large shell in
oluding any number Of smaller shells,
these latter again containing explosive
bullets, &c. The shells are seperate,
not concontrio. The fuse will burst un
der water, and Mr.. Spencer believes that
he can blow up the Great Eastern
whenever she needs it, though he has
great respect for that ship, and hopes
he will not be called on to make the
experiment.

pemocrats and the War.

In the patriotic speech of Mr.. Moses
f. Odell, at the Fort Greene meeting
last week, in New York, we find sug-
gestion which is so important that we
repeat it here Mr. Odell said that "as
a Democrat he had more right to feel
strongly on the subject Of the rebellion
than a Republican had"-and this, be-
cause the rebellion commenced in the
Democratic party, and was carried out
under a Democratic Administration,
most of the members of which were lead
ers in the great conspiracy
The Evening Post ssys Mr.. Odell is
quite right. The loyal Democrats have
been, for some years, tools in the
hands of those political hucksters who
are the moving spirits in the Southern
rebellion. Year after year, and cleo.
ton after election, conspirators push
ed their northern friends more rough.
ly to the wall Year after year, sucl
men as Floyd, Rhctt, Toombs, Duvi,
and Keitt, demanded more to satisfy
them; until at last, at the Charleston
Convention, only a few sycophant,
were found willing to give up all tc
the insatiato demands of the southern
masters, who where even then plotting
against the Union, and who cast over
board even their firm friend Cushing
and purposely broke up the Convention
whose unauimity would probably hav,
secured the election of Mr.. Douglas t,
the Presidency
There are reasons here why Demo
Gratis may feel more strongly or
this subject than Republieans--causc
for feelings Of personal and party re
sentiment. The treaohory of a fsy
leading Southern Democrats has dis
organized tho Democratic party ant
dealt ita prostrating defeat.

CAyALRY,--A charge Of cavalry on
a body of infantry, armed with rifles, is
now considered impossible. At Water
loo, when the British soldiers we're
armed only with Aint,lock muskets, and
could not fire until the cavalry were
within one hundred yards, they broke
the charge by their fire; but now, when
they can open fire at eight hundred
yards, and give at least eight rounds be-
fore the cavalry reaches them, thoro
does not seem to be much chance for
heavy cavalry. For vidette duty, also,
the horseman is now so exposed as to be
almost useless-itis so easy to pick him
off ....
