Premium for the Best Crop of Tobacco.

An interesting contest for two pre-
miums offered by the merchants of
Nashville for the best handled crop of
tobacco brought to the Nashville mar
ket, was decided on Thursday. the 10Th
inst, at the Capitol Warehouse of j.
NJ. Carsey, Son & Co., on Broad street
Prominent producers and dealers from
various parts of Tennessee were ap-
pointed to make the awards. The
names of the judges are as follows
Col. John III. Anderson, HI. H. Pos
ton. Eli Brent, NJ. Hobgood, T. r. Eu-
banks. J. c. Owen. L. J. Cardwell,
L. d. Martin, NJ. Culbreth, Z. g. Har-
ris, II. NJ Canard, w. III. Fuqua, II.
c. Mitchell.
Seventeen entries were made, and
the quality of the tobacco, giving evil
dence of great care in handling, sur
passed anything in this line ever before
exhibited in Nashville. The contest
was very close, and the judges deliber-
ated long time before coming to a de-
cision, evinclng perfect fairness
throughout. The opinion was ex-
pressed that all the contestants de-
served premiums, and they regretted
the necessity of disappointing the well
grounded hopes of any. But as an
election must be made, it was finally
decided to award the
LIST premium of $500 to VIM. Strin-
ger, of Robertson county, Tennessee.
I'd premium of 500 to Elijah Settle,
of Simpson county, Kentucky.
A complimentary premium of silk
dress pattern. worth fifty dollars, had
been previously offered by Mr.. Carsey,
TO be given to the wife or daughter of
the successful competitor for the first
premium. 1t was awarded to Mrs
Suinger. The action of the judges
is commended by all whom We have
heard speak in regard to the natter

Mr.. P. a blow in the face. a warrant
was got out for his arrest from Mr.. Judd,
in the absence of the trial justice. On
this he was discharged on his own recog-
nizancc. Subsequently u warrant for his
re-arros1 was procured from Mr. Carlton,
which was placed in the hands of Sheriff
Wilson. BY this time the ResOlute had
proceeded TO Port Royal, where she had
left an anchor and hawser. The sheriff,
with posse, wentaboard the steamer and
arrested Capt. Mccartney, who submit
ted quietly, asking only the privilege OF
getting some clothing from his cabin.
The sheriff permitted him to go below,
but instead of returning he slipped
through between decks to the engineer
anl crew and ordered the lines to be let

The Largest Bona Eide Circulation.
THE ADVERTISING of the ACTS.

We notice in the proceeding of the
House Of Representatives, a concurrent
resolution introduced by Mr.. Cannon, of
Splrtanburg, and adopted, in relation to
the letting out of the contract for the
publication Of the acts and joint resolu-
tions of the General Assembly in the
newspapers of the State. The resolution
limits the acts and resolutions to be pub
lisheA to those which are Of general pub
lie interest, to not more than oncpaper
in each county, and fixes the price to be
paid at six cent per line, except in the
counties of Richland and Charleston,
where it shall not exceed ten cents per
line. The movement meets our hearty
endorsement, though we have but little
hope of its confirmation by the Senate.
1t is high time this useless burden should
be taken from the shoulders Of the State.
and it is high time too, that some of our
Conservative brethren Of the press were
giving us some assistance in the preml-
ses.-CarOlinian.
Should this resolution be adopted by
the Senate the expense to the State would
be not over $50, 900, instead ofover 500.
900 as at present. This saving will not
be popular with the newspapers. The
Caroliniaa callsT,in vain for aid from its
conservative brethren. They have tasted
the mess of radical pottage and can not
resist its savory smell in the future. The
seheme has succeeded, and the opposi-
ton editors of the the State arc dumb
dogs or at most bay the moon."
