The Tobacco Fair held last week in Louisville,
Ky., appears to have been splendid success.
There was great gathering of tobacco men from
every part of the Union. Six hundred hogsheads
were on exhibition, and finer lot OF tobacco, it
is said, cannot be shown in the world. Mr.. Mus
sELMAN, Of Louisville, bid off the premium hogs
head at SIS so pound. This hogshead was raised
in Hart County, KY, and has brought the highest
price on record.
The Richmond Examiner, speaking Of the great
flood OF bogus "fracto nal currency" or "shys-
ter" money, now inundating the whole South,
says: eve wish that the Government would i'm
mediately call in these small notes, giving the
people an equivalent for good and bad alike, and
then issue enough silver coin to answer the bust
ness of small change One thing is certain, that
We are flooded with counterfeit small notes, and
We need relief at once.
Mics EVANS the authoress Of Beulah and other
noted works OF fiction, has generously purchased
a marble Mausoleum for the Confederate dead of
Mot y. She has set good example, that we are
assured will be followed when Southern finances
recover from their present prostration. We can
nOt aXpnct the ITnitod Stataa RI do for
those who fell in arms for secession, nor are the
State Governments now able to do anything. It
is only from private muniiccnce that our loved
and lost can now receive the monuments due to
their memories All honor to Miss EVANS
beautiful painting is on exhibition in Rich
mond, the work Of Mr.. JOHN b. ELDER, OF that
city. It is entitled the 'Ssters Hero" and rep
resents young Confederate, wounded and pale,
leaning upon the shoulder OF his sister, eagerly
watching, from the balcony of their country
home, the troops passing in the fields below. The
drawing and coloring Of the figures, their easy
positions, and the expression Of features are won-
derfully accurate, and the striking contrast be-
tween the healthful complexion of the sister and
the pale, emaciated soldier boy, is most admira-
bly, treated.
The Augusta Constitutionalist, learned in Mas
sachusetts military matters, thus discourses of
one of her Lustrious captains: Massachusetts,
not unmindful Of her greatest General, the i'm
mortal BUTLER has just elected him major gene
raj OF all the militia. Once a year the Massachu.
setts militia assemble, consume vast quantities OF
molasses, Goldfish, gingerbread and spruce beer,
and conclude the exhibition with terrific sham
tight. Upon these occasions the coptendiag ar
mics are called British and Continental and the
former are always terribly drubbed, and surren-
der, at discretion, to the nvinoible 'Continentas
BUTLER will, OF course, upon the occasion of this
anniversary battle, command the tRritish army
and it will be fogged in one-fourth of the time
which has been heretofore required for the job"
