THE TOBACCO CRoP IN VIRGINIA.--The Rich
mond Examiner estimates the tobacco crop in
Virginia at two-thirds Of the crop of 1860. The
general quality is excellent. In some of the to-
bacco counties, such as Dinwddie, Meckenberg,
Prince Edward, Amelia and Chorlotte, the labor
has been wanting. The product, however, even
in these counties, has been better than was anti
cipated. In those counties in which there was
less Of interference with the negroes, the results
are vsibly better. Halifax does pretty well, but
the counties Of Pittsyyania, Henry and Patrick
in Virginia, as well as Buckingham and Caswel
in North Carolina, have tobacco crop excellent
both in quality and quantity. In the neighborhood
of Lynchburg, too the results are comparatively
gratifying. There has been much less made of
the heayy, black and rich tobacco whichis usually
valued in the English and foreign markets, but of
the lighter and more attractive brands, which are
the tavorltcs of the home markets, and which con
sequently command higher prices, there is a very
fair crop, actually above the usual average.

Detroit Nov. l2.-Owing to the decline in other
markets, prices here tend downward. To-day
packers pau SLU IOF good IOl5 averaging Z0U lbs,
but this evening they declare themselves out of
the market at that figure. As the offerings are
light, it is possible there may be no material de-
cline until the last shipments are made to Lake
Superior, which will be next week-[Post.
