HIGH Prices FOR ToBACco.-0ccasional sales Of
tobacco in the warehouses here are made, aud at
prices which the generations who come after us
will regard as perfectly fabulous. Rucker & Ham,
mer, on Tuesdsy and yesterday; sold several hogs
heads for Edward Irvine, of Cambell county, for
the following handsome prices: Lugs, $50 per hum
dred weight; leaf, one hogshead, at $l15; one at
$3.50; one at $3.50; and one at 1886, per hundred
weight They also sold two hogsheads for W. A.,
Trent Of Appomattox; one at 500, and one at $3.50
and for other persons various hogshead at $751; $75,
$50 and 1920 These figures show that the weed
is " no drug" in the Lynchburg market, and should
admonish those of our country friends who have
their crops on hand to send them in at once It is
hardly possible that prices will get better, and it
does appear they should be amply satisfied with
those We have given aboVe.-LynehOurg (Va) Re-

1t IS further said that General Lee called for voun-

is that all the brgsdes engaged on Wednesday were

To Our DEMONSTRATORS or TEE POLISH
DELEGAroK.-We publish to-day, and respectfully
request our exchanges to copy, the subjoined APP
peal We can vouch for the fact that it is made by
delegation of Poles of high standing and charac-
ter, who arrived last week at this port and have
gone on to Richmond. That the Appeals genuine,
and that the credentials of the gentlemen issuing it
are satisfactory, we feel fully authorized to say
We trust that, as matter ofcourtesy as well as Of
humanity, the press of the Confederate States will
give it general circulation. The language of the
Appeal bears the impress of foreign idiom, but
that we have not thought proper to alter. It is
the utterance of suffering and crushed people, and
will not pass unheede6 by those themselves strug-
Cling for their rights and nationality. We repeat
that If we were not satisfied of the character and
genuineness of the document we would not make
the request that We do-namely, that it be copied

A smiling infant prattling stood,
Whose hour was come;
Untaught of i'll, it neared the tide,
Sunk as to cradle rest, and died

A youth diseased, and pale and wan,
And there alone
He gazed upon the leaden stream,
And feared to plunge heard . scream,
And he was gone.
And then form in manhoods strength,
Came busting on, till there at length
He saw life's bound;
He shrank and raised the bite. prayer
Too late-his shrek of wild despair,
The waters drowned.

A being bowed with many q score

Another child of mortal man
