rare thing for tobacco growers in South
ern Kentucky 10 take their crops to that
saarket; now IL ranks in Kentucky as
Richmond ranks In Virginia, or Baltimore
ia Maryland. Great improvements have
also been made by ihe Kentucky maui
facturers, and we have recently seen
boxes Of chewing tobacco, which, with a
change Of brand, might readily pass for
fine Virginia tobacco the samples pos
sessed all the requisites Of color, taste,
aud smell, which are in favor with users
Of The weed We have been led to these
remarks, in consequence Of several nsti-
ces which we have lately seen in the
Louisville papers, Of the erection of q
large new tobacco Warehouse in that city,
to be known as the Louisville Tobacco
Warehouse. The house will be conduc-
ted by Messrs. PHELPS, CALDWELL, & Co,
Two Of whom are now, and all Of whom
until recently were residents of Southern
Kentucky. Several of the firm are among
the largest tobacco growers in that re-
gion, and the others have large expe-
rience in the tobacco trade. The buss-
ness qualifications of the firm are of the
very highest order, and the house will
rank Immediately with the very first in
the Southwest. It will be open for BUSH
ness by the first of the New Year, and par
ties consigning the crops TO their care, may
rest assured that their interests will be in
the han Dis of men who are not only eminent
ly shrewd and active business men, but
who all thoroughly familiar with their
special department, the condition of the
market and the wants of the trade. The re-
ceipts for the year just closed at Louisville,
reached the large amount of rs, 908 hogs
beads, and the receipts for the coming
year will be very largely in excess of
this. We cannot refrain from saying in
reference to Southern Kentucky, the
great tobacco region of that State, what
we urged so often and so zealOusly, while
editing a newspaper in that section, that
loyalty and commercial prosperity go
hand in hand, just as mpch as rebellion
and ruin. Kentucky has remained in
the Union, and the result has been, as
we predicted, near two years ago, amid
the SCOTS and derision of the miserable
liars, swindlers and traitors, who led the
Southern Rights party in Kentucky, that
the tobacco growers of that State would
reap splendid harvest of commercial
prosperity, and obtain larger prices for
their crops than they had ever done be-
fore. The rebel leaders retorted that all
the interests of Kentucky, were with the
South, and that if she staidin the Union
they would be ruined. Time has prov
ed that we spoke truth and common
sense, and that the secession leaders,
talked sophistry and falsehood. We
have many personal reasons for desiring
the prosperity of Kentucky, and we
therefore, again earnestly invoke her peo-
pie TO drive out every traitor and foe to
the Union, from their midst. We greatly
fear that some of the protested Union
leaders of Kentucky are far from being
loyal, and that unless their motives and
wishes shall be adopted by the Admin
istration-which God forbid they will
make desperate effort to stir up rebel
lion among those who have hitherto been
loyal Kentucky loyal will prosper
gloriously Kentucky dislOyal will perish
miserably. All who love the Union, we
love, but on the heads of all open or Sc
cret traitors may Almighty God pour out
the darkest walls Of his wrath.
