TOBACCO ADE--ERRONEOU
IMPRESSIONS.

An impression prevails IN some portions OF
the interior, that the climate of Norfolk is I'M
favorable for the storage of tobacco that this
article will undergo here, what is termed the
sweating process, as is the case in New Or
leans and other low, damp situations, and that
It Is consequently hazardous to send it, whether
manufactured or in the leaf, to Norfolk. This
impression is entirely without foundation.
The climate of this locality is admirably
adapted to the storage of this important arti-
ole Of commerce. The experience of years
proves most conclusivey that any statement
10 the contrary is absolutely fallacious. Facts
which cannot be controverted, and living tes-
Nmony which cannot be questioned, confirm
and establish the truthfulness of what we as
sert.
There are merchants now residing in Nor
folk and elsewhere, who have dealt largely in
tobacco here, and their experience is in direct
opposition to the idea that this location is not
In every way suitable to its preservation in a
sound and merchantable state. A number of
satisfactory statements could be given, but the
following will satisfy every unprecedented
mind
Prior to the year 1866, Josiah Wills, an en-
aerprising and highly respected resident of
this city, now deceased, had tobacco manu-
factory in Danville, from which the manufac-
s,lred article was sent to Baltimore, Philadel-
phia and New York, as well as to this place.
IIe had therefore every facility for testing the
adaptation OF our climate to its storage, and
Of a comparison between this and other loca-
lions.
Mr.. Wills stated that tobacco, either in the
leaf or manufactured, was preserved in as
sound condition here as in any other city on
the coast that it remained, when stored in
our warehouses, especially when properly
cured and manufactured, without sustaining
che least injury.
To prove by actual facts the entire suita-
bleness Of our climate to the keeping of manu-
featured tobacco, Mr.. w. stated: That when
O portion of large lots put up at his manufac-
tory in March, had been sent in April to Nor
folk and several cities further North, on a
careful examination in the Fall, of what re-
manned on hand in each place, the packages
of the article stored in this city were found to
be in a perfectly sound condition, and fully
equal, if not superior, in color and favor to
that sent elsewhere, at the same time.
With regard to leaf tobacco, we would state
q fact well known in this community, that a
hogshead of the article remained, through
some oversight, in the tobacco warehouse, on
Town Point, for .Jfue gears, and on being
opened and inspected, the contents were found
to have sustained no injury, being in Prime
order.
The City Tobacco Warehouse having been
built for the purpose, is well adapted to the
preservation of the great staple, and, if neces-
sary, competent inspectors can be appointed,
and merchants are here able and ready to
manage it to the very best advantage for the
planters of the interior.

From Washington.

From Washington.
Washington, Jan. 4.-The American Min
lister last October called the attention of the
Government to the Decree of Macmillan, by
which every person in Mexico found armed
without license from him, should be put to
death and at the same time furnished proof
that this tyrannical Decree had been put into
execution, in the case of several distinguished
Liberals, and number of other officers.
Secretary Seward, on the last of November,
brought these facts to the notice of the French
Government, speaking of the Decree as con-
trary to the law of Nations relative to prs-
onerS of war.
The French Government has responded that
it is not responsible, as Macmillan is as
amenabe to the United States as any other
government for violation of such rights.

THE WEEKLY DAY BOOK.

We respectfully call the attention of our mer-
chants, business men, and advertisers, general
ly to the superior advantages afforded them for
country advertising through the columns of the
WEEKLY DAY Book. This paper, prior TO the
breaking out of the late war, was admitted gen.
orally to be the best advertising medium for the
country trade ever established in this section
1t had circulation of six or seven thousand
weekly to its regular mail subscribers, besides
frequent large. editions for gratuitous circula-
ton in the cars, steamers, CARTS vessels, &c.
1t is printed at the small price of ONE DOLLAR A
YEAR, and gotten up with great deal of care
and attention, having carefully corrected price
current OF the week transactions, together with
the latest telegraph news, editorials, selections
&C, to make it q desirable companion to the
farmers family. The advertisements will be
displayed to the taste of the advertiser, in the
largest type his space will admit of, with the
privilege of inserting cuts of any kind in their
advertisements.
Having our mail books ready, we are now
making arrangements for the speedy issue of this
splendid country advertiser and we invite our
merchants and business men to hand in their ad-
vertisements at once, that they may be put in
type for the first number. Much Of the space
has already been engaged, and as the WEEKLY
will have great deal Of reading matter in it,
those who desire to benefit by its circulation
should give the matter their immediate atten-
ton.
We have placed the terms for advertising in
the WEEKLY Day Book at low figures, so that
our enterprising Merchants may use liberal
share of space for display purposes.
One column, yearly contract, $40 per month,
Half do. do. do. $50 " g"
One square do. do SO :" ="
Two do. do. do SIS " i"
Three do. do do. ST g {"
These terms are payable monthly in advance.
Transient Advertisent inserted at IS cents
square, for the first insertion, and so cents
square for each continuance.
Liberal terms will be made to those contract
ing for half or a quarter year.
Those contracting for four or more squares by
the year. can have their advertisements extend
ed to double columns.

The FREEDMAN.-We publish in another
column a copy of the contract which each
freedman in South Carolina is required to
enter into with his employer. 1t may be
basis for like contracts in this section, but it is
understood that the freedmen of Virginia are
recognized by the Bureau as of greater inteli-
sence than those farther South, and hence
they may not apply to them the same regula-
tons as they do to the blacks in South Caro-
Ana. And here lies the difficulty mentioned

HOW III WAS DONE.

It is well known that at the first caucus
Of the Republican members of Congress
after the organization Of the House, the
pending bill striking out Of the District
franchise law the word "white, 4" and placing
all c,lors on equality, was voted down, and
qualified franchise for all colors substi-
tstsd therefor. This result not only re-
dccted the unbiased sentiments of ma
jority Of the Uniorists in Congress, but
was in accordance with the views Of their
constituents, as evidenced by the result of
the election in the Northern States last
year., when the question of unrestricted
suffrage was submitted directly to tho peo-
pie. When the bill came up in the House,
admitting, as it did, Of unrestricted, IN.
qualified, aud universal suffrage ia the
District without regard to race, color, or
loyalty, the Democrats combined with the
ultra Radicals and voted down all amend
monis and substitutes, and forced a vote
