ToBAcco.-As many of our people arc
raising tobacco this year, We copy the follow
ing instructions for its culture and curing
treatment from the Oregon Statesman, which
may be of benefit to them:
10y When tobacco begins to ripcn. more or
less ycllowish spots make their appearance
on the leaves, and finally the whole plant be-
comes completely notified or pied upon every
leaf. Then it is presumed to be ready for
cutting. Another mode Of distinguishing
ripe tobacco is to double the outer edge of
the leaf, then if it breaks short and seems
brittle, VIC say it is ripe; but if tough, it
may be considered yet green. Better let the
lomer Aaues rot IN holes than TO cut rhes too
green. In fact, during the maturing process,
the leaves thicken SO fast that in one weeks
time plant that apparently has not grown
particle may have gained "a per cent. in
weight-and gained in quality almost beyond
compensation. Of course the injury, or even
total loss of few of the lower leaves, would
be more than compensated both in quantity
and quality by suffering the plant to get we'll
ripened."

- Mr.. Giddings. of the Surveyor Cen

los. informs US that the Collector had re-
ceivcd letter from the Acting Secretary Of
the Treasury. Mr.. Harrington, stating that
he could not rescind the " beef embargo" for
the present. If the Government at WASH
ington has deliberately determined to con-
tinue that order, it win be conclusive evil
dence to our mind that it regards war
with England as extremely probable. There
could be no other reason for continuing an
order that operates so oppressively upon this
coast. We still believe that the matter has
not been decided by the proper authority,
and we anticipate an early repeal of the en-
barge.

Tries to 4isrepresent %.
The Oregonia~ charges us with misrepre.
sentation, in saying that the President in his
Albany letter manifested regret that Vallan-
digham had been arrested by the military au.
thories, and to prove its charge, quotes the
following paragraph of the letter:
cit gave me pain when learned that Mr.
Vallandigham had been arrested-that is,
was panied that there should have seemed to
be necessity for arresting him-and it will
afford me pleasure to discharge him, 80 soon
as lean by any means, believe that the pub
lie safety will not suffer by it."
If the Orcgonian had been disposed ia
treat us fairly, it would have quoted the
paragraph from the Presidents letter
that Immediately precedes the one quoted
above, and to which we made more especial
reference. After arguing the propriety Of
making arrests in extreme cases. and refer
ring to the case of Gen. jackson by way OF
excusing Gen. Burnside, he says:
"And yet, let me say, that in my own dis
erection, do not know whether l would have
ordered the arrest of Mr.. Vallandigham.
While cannot shift the responsibility from
myself, l hold that, as a general rule, the
commander in the field is a better judge of
the necessity in any particular case. Of
course, must practice general directory
and revisory power in the matter D.;
Now if the President was pleased with the
arrest, why did he say that he did not
know whether in his own discretion he would
have ordered it. If he regarded the arrest
as right and expedient, those who know him.
will not hesitate to believe that he would
have said so, in language plain and explicit.
We insist that a fair Interpretation of the
paragraph quoted by the Orcgo"i"", would
justify the belief that he did regret the ar
rest, substantially for the reasons assigned by
Senator Harding. Not because he had not
done enough to deserve the severest punish
ment, but because lis arrest was not de-
signed to benefit the cause Of the country.
The President says he twas panied that
there xhOuld hare seemed to be necessity
IOT HIS OTTCSt. IL liz W as odtASuSu WIN ~
would he not have said that he was panied
that there ,ras a necessity for his arrest NOT
that there seemed to be" necessity: We
think it would be an insult to the proverbal
frankncss of the President, to say, that he
was satisfied of the expediency Of Vallandig-
hams arrest, after his using the language
above quoted; and SO far from our having
misrcprescnted him in saying that he mani
tested regret at his arrest, we have presented
him in the very attitude he desires to occu-
py before the public. We have tolernbiy sat
isfactory evidence of this, aside from the
language used in his reply to the Albany
committee. We have no apprehension that
the Oregonian will be able to convince the
President that Senator Harding. or the
STANDARD, have said or done any thing to
justify the charge of sympathy with Vallan-
digham Democracy, or as indicating any UNI
friendly feeling or disposition towards his
administration.
