F&cnASGE.-A meeting of The members of
the Tobacco Exchange was held yesterday
morning TO receive the report OF the COM
miltec designated ut Il previous meeting to
consider the propricty of appropriating Il
sum OF money to the Virginia Agricultural
Society TO he expended aS premiums for the
tobacco crop of the present year.
The committee is Of oNi.iian that Fair
ana complete representation al The tobacco
crop cannot rc elected through the medium
Of the exhibitions Of the Agricultural So
crtv. and they therefore recommend that
Il regular tobacco fair be held i'll this city
during the next year.
In turtherance Of this object, they regard
the proposed donation IT, the Virginia ASri-
cultural society 1t this time rs OF great i'm
uortancr. H. it will thoroughly arouse the
makers OF all grades and qualities OF to-
hacco to greater eXcrtlons, and not only IN
,iuce greater display OF competing samples
for tn" prizes of the Society, but be pro-
,Iurti'e ol great =ood TO The tnhatco me
rest generally: especially in the taking of
more pains in preparing tobacco, and also
contribute largely to the interest in the pro-
posed tobacco fair next year.
1t il therefore recommended that do
nation of $500 he made by the Tobacco
Association to the Virginia Agricultural
Society with the distinct understanding
that in MI the leading classes OF tobacco OF
this wears growth Virginia and North
Carolina shall be fairly represented.
MIR. Il. 7. Williams explained that as
North Carolina was 50 large contributor
t. nur tnharro market il was not thought
prudent. while making the donation TO the
Agricultural Society. to discriminate be-
tween her growth Of tobacco and Nlr-
@juia :; and for this reason it was thought
proper to designate the state of North
Carolina in the report.
The report OF the committee was adopted.
Mr.. Williams then offered 4 resolution
providing for It committee OF ten to consult
~ to the best method and time of holding Il
tobacco fair in Richmond during the next
year. The committee is instructed to re-
port on the first Monday in June.
We are satisfied from the spirit displayed
with reference TO this project that it will
prove very great and important success.
From the form which the matter has already
assumed. our planters should feel them
selves directly encouraged to increase the
quantities OF their tine tobaccoS.

influences of the past with those OF the pre-
sent, and claimed that ut length the Amerl.
can Constitution had become purified, ana
stood as at first intended by its fathers.
He contendcd that slavery was wrong IN
the sight OF God and by the words OF Jesus
Christ, and quoted from the Old Testament
and the New in proof Of his argument. Inc
only direct political allusion he made was
MS to the manner in which the cOlored man
was to vote. He said he knew he would
vote right. He alluded to the men who
deserved the grateful esteem Of the colored
mpn-yiz,, Sumner, Phillips, etc.-and eX-
tolled their qualities. He concluded by ad-
yisino the colored men as to their course ID

A SOUTHERN MONSTER.

The Savannah papers publish a curious
account of a remarkable monster lately
seen in the Savannah river, near Fort
Pulaski. The Savannah Advertiser says:
"Our informant, with his negro men,
was pulling quietly along the shore, when
the slight built craft was suddenly and
without any premonitory sign lifted up. as
by some immense rolleIt throwing the
crew out of their seats and completely
soaring the life out of them. The shock
was so sudden that danger existed for a
second of the boat turning over. but luck
ilv it righted again and sank back into
the water, foamed like breakers. But
says the hero of the adventure, Il did not
heed the danger around me in this respect,
nor the groveling fear of the men with me
for could not, if life was at stake, have
taken my eyes away from the hideous
creature that had caused all the commotion
and was making its way lazily out of the
river into the long rushes on the bank.
Never before had l anticipated such
monstrosity, nor do | ever wish to see
another. A creature almost indescribable,
though its general appearance is fixed in
my minds eye too ndelibly for pleasant
attcrthought The beast. fish or reptile,
whatever species of Gods creation it
might be classed under. was of tawny
greenish color, growing more definite
toward the head. The body of the crea-
ture was seal shaped, apparently twenty
feet long and as thick as the carcass of the
largest sized elephant. From this trunk
sprung forth the most remarkable feature
of the phenomenon, long, curved, swan
like neck, large enough apparently to
have taken man in whole, terminated by
head and jaws similar to that of an im-
mense boa-constrictor, the eyes flashy, yet
possessing ferocity enough in their express
sion to make man tremble. The back of
the beast was deeply ridged. the ridges run
ming from the base of the neck to the ex-
treme end of the tail, and several inches
deep. An immense tail. shaped some-
thing like an alligators, and three times
longer, so it seemed, than the body, COM
pleted the tom ensemble of this wonderful
anomaly. The creature navigated by feet.
resembling the fore feet of an alligator,
and its progress on land was slow, but it
soon disappeared With all this combina-
ton of the terrible before me, says our
friend. it was not strange thatl trembied."

The yyalkist TriumphantI>

Mr.. John Sheppard who has created no
little sensation on Cherry street during the
last few days, triumphantly closed his
walking feat of 100 consecutive hours
without rest or sleep, at IL
O'Clock last night. Hundreds visited
him yesterday and last night, and as the
hour grew near that decided the contest,
the street became packed and jammed,
while in the room where he was walking
there was scare elbow room. Slowly drag
ged the hours and minutes, and slowly the
tagged and tired man dragged his worn and
weary limbs along the narrow plank His
limbs were somewhat swollen and it was
sad to see the well concealed torture of the
man. The crowd grew almost breathless.
The minute hand pointed perpendicularly
on the dial face, the clock struck IL and
the last step was laggardly made. Yells
from the crowd announced the triumph, as
they pressed denser and closer to the house.
With difficulty Sheppard was borne to a
hack at the sidewalk and and taken to the
Merchants Exchange, the hack being fol-
lowed by the huZzaing crowd. He was
bathed and rubbed and furnished refresh
ments. He was then conveyed to the Com
| mercial Hotel where he will be permitted
| to sleep but few hours at time for some
| days He won the wager of 81, 900, and
almost an equal sum was realized at the
door during the four days.
