A Richmond correspondent writes
"Mr. Hcndren, of Staunton, takes, Elmore's
place in the Treasury, and Elmore goes to the
army. His accounts, an told, bring the
Government in debt $4,000. 1t is said FIVE
thousand negroes are to go to Sen. Lee to
act as teamsters, etc. 1 say yesterday the late
Quartermastcr General Myers, in privates
uniform, going cut to the fight. A number of
stray Brgadiers, i an, told were picked up and
put in the ranks. The'hotels and faro banks
sheltered many rciinquents. Among the reports
circulating here is one to the effect that a
prominent officer here is in favor of arming
the negroes. You need not attach much faith
to it though
HE ToBADco TRADE.-The- quantitytof un.
manufactured tobacco imported into the Uni
ted Kingdom in the six mouths ending June
so, 1864, was 1861 lbs. The quantity,
imported during the same period in the year
1853 was l2,92a,357 lbs, and during the same
period in 1882, only 7,4se,3Os lbs. The
quantity Of manufactured tobacco imported is
very greatly on the increase, owing to the re-
dnction Of the duty. During six months en-
ding June 80, 1864, the supplies we're 3,o4l.-
l39 lbs as compared with 1922, ,493 lbs. in
1863, and 553,s6s lbs. in 1852. 1t is scarcely
necessary to poiut out that the small import Of
unf'taanufactured tobacco in 1862, was caused
by the American war.
MIsorRr-Jef Jefcrson Barracks, to which the
Yankee General Smith has retired, is only ten
miles from St. kogs, and the most Important
point this side. From all accounts, Price is IN
a fair way TO capture st. Louis. Shonld such
a fortunate event traDspire, North Missouri,
