N-pREsENT coNDIrIoN OF THE TRADE.
But Notwithstanding the falling of in
the manufacture and consumption Of CT
gars, they still constitute an important
branch of the trade of our city. The
books of the collector of the internal
revenue show that, during the month OF
November, 1864, one million one hundred
and sixty-three thousand and eight hun IN
idred, (1,163,S00). common, or stogy, cl-
gars were sold in this city. During the
month of September, eight hundred and
seventyfour thousand were sold, and
probably one million per month would be
a fair average for the sales of the year,
They are now sold at nine dollars per
thousand, so that sales of our cigar man
ufacturers amounted during the yearls64
to about one hundred and eight thousand
dollars for stogies alone. In addition to
this, there were sales of other grades of
cigars amounting to probably one fourth
more ......-

THE BEST HOTEL SITE IN THE CITY,


ELEVEN MISUNDERSTANDING LOTS FOR

Owing TO the great and increasing demand for
Stores Offices, and Dwelling Houses, in the cen
trail part ofIthe city, the owner has been induced
to offer for sale that valuable unimproved piece Of
property at thescorner of Main and Nebraska
Streets, on which the old City Hall and Jail for
merfy stood. I'D ..-.. h.s8 5gl
This property stands next TO the centre of bust
in the city, and is located as of necessity
it must Immediately be brought into requisition
for business purposes, in view of the rapidly na-
proving condition of the city, and consequent ex-
tension of Stores for the accommodation of trade.
The location of this property is midway be-
tween the Market House and the Depot of the
Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad, which viii be-
in operation now in a few months. It is also
equally close to most ofthe steamboat landings And
the entire site presents an unsurpassed location
for new Hotel, which the increasing business of
the city already calls loudly for. A Hotel built
on this entire property could be arranged to have
two fine Stores on Main street and the Hotel en-
trance, besides eight or ten Stores on Nebraska
street, all of which could be rented at once, So
great is the demand for business locations
If not sold entire, the property will be divided
off into eleven Building Lots Of rs feet front each,
and sold on terms to suit purchasers. The Lots
fronting on ain street will extend back 100 feet,
and those on Nebraska street extend back from
rs to 80 or 80 feet.
, The owner deems it unnecessary to say any thing
here in regard to the rapidly increasing value 81
this property. Every one familiar to the urgent
demand which already exists for Stores, offices,
and Dwellings must at once see its desirability.

War In South America.

South America, restless and excitabe, has
another war upon its hands, which has been
commercially Paraguay against the Argen-
tine Republic, without previous notice 1t is
said, and in a summary way. Corrlentes,
an Argentine Province, was invaded, and
two steamers of the Central Government
were captured in the River Parana. 1t Is
further said that upon one of these vessels
some forty four persons were murdered in
cold blood 1t is alleged that by treaty be-
tween Paraguay and the Argentine Repub-
lie it was agreed that war should not be
commenced except upon six months previ-
Gus notice, a provision which, in the pres
ent instance, was altogether disregarded.
This bold movement cannot result In any
thing but active opposition. The Argen-
tine Republic will be sustained by Brazil
and the Banda Oriental Governments,
which in combined population are more than
seven to one as compared with Paraguay.
They also have armies, fleets, and disposi-
ton to fight, so that the problem SO boldly
proposed by Paraguay may end in solu-
tion not expected by that aggressive power.

Late from Texas.

The Herald correspondent in the Gulf
Department, furnishes interesting accounts
of the incidents preceding, attending, and
following the occupation of Brownsville,
Texas, on the 3lst ult., by the national
troops under General Brown.
The rebel troops previous to evacuatlng
the place, mutinied, pillaged the town, and
made prisoners of some of their officers un-
til their demands for the payment of their
back dues were complied with. The rebels
left the day previous to Gen. Browns arri-
val, not waiting to be paroled or to comply
in any manner with the terms of Gen. Kir-
by Smiths surrender. Large numbers of
Mexico, taking with them their arms.
Their artillery they sold to the Mexican
Imperialists at Matamoras. 1t is said that
the last of the rebels were driven from
Brownsville by the Mexican residents, who
organized home guard for the preserva
tion of order soon after the evacuation
commenced. After taking possession OF
Brownsville, Gen. Brown wrote letter to
Gen. Mejia, the Imperialist commander at
Matamoras, insuring him that neutrality
would be observed by the American force in
regard to the contest in Mexico between the
Republicans and Imperialists.
On the I'd inst the rebel Generals Kirby
Smith and Magruder were received on board
the United States steamer Fort jackson,
Captain Sands, off Galveston, when the ar
ticles of surrender of all the Trans Missis-
sippi forces, were signed by General Smith.
The next morning the rebel officers were
conveyed back to Galveston, and on the 9Th
instant Captain Sands, and other officers,
proceeded up to the town, landed and re-
ceiyed its surrender from the Mayor, and
once more unfurled the national flag over the
public buildings in the presence of a large
but undemonstrative and orderly assemblage
Of the people.

North Carolina Credit.

The credit Of the old North State, always
good, is likely to be maintained. Governor
Holden estimates the quantity of cotton,
turpentine and other property belonging to
the State will net from three to five millions
of dollars, which sum will pay off the inter
est on the State bonds issued before the
war, as well as large margin for contingent
and emergent expenses until system of
State taxation is adopted. This willingness
to pay the indeptedness, this manifest good
faith, will place those bonds at their old val
ue, and it is hoped enable the State Treasury
to raise money on the issue of new bonds.
