Pleasant TO Tobacco Cheyyers.

A letter from Petersburg Va, to the
Schenectady Star, gives the following delight
ful description of tie manner Of preparing
chewing tobacco in that region;
Commence on the upper floor, which is as
dirty as a COW stable. In the corners are
large heaps of tobacco At one end is large
capliron into which is put iiquorice, rum and
toDca bean. Ga one side of the room is a
la-ge room like mortar bed, into which is
put the weed, to be sPrinkled with the above
decoetion. Two or three darkeys are stirring
the tobacco up with their feet, so that all por-
tious may become equally saturated. After
this operation it is dried upon poles overhead
until it is ct for working below. On the Sec
ond story, The leaf is divested of its stems by
numerous black women and children. 1t is
then, in supple state, made into rolls an
inch or two inches in diameter, and of any re
CURED length. On the ground floor, the
roles are squeezed into plugs, and carefully
packed for transportation to the tobacco low
ing people OF tho North Some may think
part of this description highly colored, but it
is literally true account of what have seen
more than once; and what heard be true.
the drugs and firh are hardly half portrayed.
1t might be supposed that people here do not
chew, but this Is lot so; almost everybody
does-but then they chew the clear leaf. And
it is worthy of remark that the hands engage
ed in these factories make no account of
throwing their spittle and their cuds into the
heap for second masticatiOn.

The country is really relieved by the seces.
sion Of Virginia, and the (practicai secession Of
Maryland not that either result was desired,
but now that both have happened, men can say
and feel that the bottom is touched, and that
they know where they are. The evil had an
imaginary magnitude while it was distant. Now
that it is actually upon us, we can measure it,
and it ceases to be formidable.
1t has always been said, and has probably
been believed by the secessionists that il they
could only revolutionize the whole Of the slave
States into an attitude Of resistance, q peace
would be conquered by that attitude alone, and
that the revolution would be consulnmated with
out bloodshed. Passing events will undeceive
them on that point. Secession was not posi-
BILE without war in any contingency, but it be.
comes doubly impossible when it embraces
Maryland and Virginia, because it then in.
wolves that question Of the National Capital,
which nothing but the sword can solve.
What has happened in Maryland, immedi.
ately adjoining the free States, is so palpably
the overthrow Of a pesce.loving majority, by
violent and reckless minority, that it realizes to
the free States the practicablity Of such an oP'
GRAFTON, and confirms their previous impressions
that the true sentiment Of the farther South has
been overslaughed in the same way. The
events in Maryland, therefore, will only
strengthen their convictions Of the wisdom and
feasibility Of the policy Of restoring the Union
by firm assertion of the national authority.
