RELEASE OF THE Hon. S. II. NAL
LoRY.-We are gratified to learn that
orders We're received for the release on
parole of the Hon. S. II. Mallory from
confinement at Fort Lafayette. Weare
gratitied not only because a fellow
countryman has been delivered from a
cruel and unnecessary imprisonment,
but because in this act of clemency we
find an additional promise of statesman
ship and correct sentiment in the Chief
Magistrate, upon whoseaction and policy
so much depends.
Mr. Mallory was the last of the priso-
ners of State confined at Fort Lafayette.
His release removes from that fortress
the character of Bastile, and the flag
that floats above its walls is no longer
shamed by the prostitution ofthe nation
al structure beneath to the uses of a dun
geon. Let Us accept this as AN omen of
the speedy restoration Of Republicanism,
the downfall of military dictatorship
and the supremacy OF the laws.-N. Y.

ToBACcO.-A correspondent of the
Richmond enquirer, who has recently
been travelling through the counties of
Goochland, Fluvanna and Buckingham,
writes as follows of the next tobacco
crop:
In my journey, | noticed several
places where they We're burning plant
ing lands, preparatory to sowing tobacco
seed. Very strenuous efforts are being
made to have a crop Of this invaluable
Nirginian staple, but it will, of course,
be but 4 mere mockery of what it was
in past Years. Some farmers told me
that if they can only get the negroes to
work steadily land tobacco is one of
those plants which must be rigidly tend
ed through every stage of its growth
and manufacture or be entirely lost
they thought it possible they might pro-
duce one-third of what they did in past
years. This is better than nothing. In
some cases the planters have, so far, in
duced the negroes to work upon wages
and promise of 4 portion Of the crop;
in other cases tn y have allowed the
negroes to go to work on their own hook
on land lent them for the purpose-a
portion of the proceeds to be yielded to
the landowner. Many of the blacks
seem to prefer working in this way, and
it is, probably. as good as any to create
in them feeling of honest industry and
