Mr.. EDIToI.
In former article for your paper l
gave my plan of raising shipping To-
baccO; now give the plan of Mi. V.
Simpson Tor the production aud man
agement of Fine Tobacco. 1t may Je
necessary to state that Mr.. Simpson
has been engaged i'll the culture of To-
bacco for 80 years-hence his expert
ence must be invaluable to the young
planter.
ANY fresh land, with good south
ern exposure, will grow fine tobacco.
Prepare the land by breaking with 4
narrow coulter, pick and burn the
roots. When practicable, check three
feet apart, making small hill on the
check. avoid leaving chips, stones,
clCds or turf in or about the hill.
Plant as early in May as possible. AS
soon as the plants have taken start
to grow, clean the land thoroughly of
all vegetation, using the band to clean
around the plant, in working the crop
the second time. it is necessary to ell
large the hill tie work with the hoe
is now finished.
When the Tobacco IL large enough
to teR. strip foHr Sr Eve of the bottom
leaves off, take OUT the bGd, leaving s
or 10 leaves, according to the strength
of the land.
1t now becomes necessary to give
close attention to the crop, i'll order TO
keep it clear of worms and suckers.
Allow the plants TO yellow on the
hills ~ much as possible before yen
cut. When thoroughly ripe cut and
house at once, putting eight plants on
stick, and the sticks eight inches
apart.
When the house is full let it stand
without fire until the tails of Tobac-
co on the bottom tier begins to yellow,
then heat the house with coal to gu
keeping the door open, that the air
may circulate in the house, to prevent
the Tobacco going into n sweat
When as yellow as you want 1t in
crease your heat in two hours from 9O0
ss S40ee, and as soon as the .ails of the
tobacco is dry, close the door tight,
continue this heat until the stems and
stalks are cured, which will be usually
in IS hours. The manner of handling
is The same as Shipping Tobacco, ex-
cept in classifying. l usually make
five qualities. should have stated
that the house should lie perfectly tight,
and i'm damp weather small EEe
should be kept in the house TO dry the

Mr.. Simpson came to this country

land, and planted it in t*bacco, in
May 1873 shipped TO Lynchburg. and
was sold by Mr.. HanaBer dor 1876, clear
Of shipping and warehouse expenses.
making an average of sSlgj per acre.
Mr.. Simpson can satisfy any one who
this, by showing them his re-
turns, indeed. any one who contem-
plates engaging in the production Of
tobacco would do well to see Mr.. Simp-
son, his present crop, think, will con-
wiSee any one that he understands his
business. de thinks there is as fine
tobacco land In this country as he
ever saw.

last Thursn1y It defeated, by ma
jority of only two the proposition
to restore the FrsUel;Ms privilege,
and free exchange of newspapers.
The repeal of these measures by
Congress last year, was a piece of
shameful vindictiveness, for which
it procseded to "grab" its own

one TO the public.
Public documents should pass
free through'the mails and the pre-

newspaper exchanges was'a bar to
the dissemination of intelligence.

THE CENTENNIAL.

The communication on the Gen.
tennial, to be found OH our first
page, is from a cultivated writer
and profound thinker, whose ideas
are always methodical and whose
view of this, as of other subjects, is
comprehensive. Oh how We wish
that this nation, more celebrated
for what it has done than for what
it has forborne TO do, were in the
proud position to rally around a
lofty Centennial column, the Won
derful people who are to start with
it on It's unknown career, at the
beginning of its second century |!
What we shall do with it, or what
it may do with us we have no
prophets capable Of foretelling, but
we should like to draw to our shores
the leading men of other nations
and show them what we have LETT
after the storms and frictions Of our
first hundred years. Above all we
should like, in the midst of a
mighty political calm, to have them
look in vain for a solitary mark
upon our soil, or to listen in vain
for solitary groan, or sigh, TO in
dictate the awful struggle Of seces-
zion. And then we could with
pride take them mp into some high
mountain and point out to them a
grander spectacle than greeted the
eye Of Moses wAcn he first SAW the
promised Land.
That such wishes are vain, the
article of our correspondent very
clearly shows. The States DO feel
very unequally the grippe of federal
power. Dives and Lazarus were
scarcely moro antipodal inthei- lots
in life than some of the States
which, at the close of the first rex
olution marched into the union to
the sound Of music, and at the
close Of the second cne IN the terri
Die silence of despair.

the Richmond Enquirer writes:-L
FiryiRidn'
"The head is powerful in every line.
the expression one ofintense thought.
and though severe. is lit up by ia
tellectualiSm in every feature. 1t is
the expression of a man that has
brought every faculty to bear upon
some question of vital Importance
The brow is slightly contracted. the
mouth firmly set, and the eye full of
that anxiety that denotes mental
labor. The position of the body is
in harmon with severity Of the face
Had Mr.. Fisher followed the school
thatin posing is subservient for the
graces Of rest, his picture would have
been failure. The artist. however,
approaching the incompatibiIity be-
tween mentala ctiviIy and bodily rest,
has drawn the figure with boldness
only rivalled by the nobility sf the
head. 1t is in the recognition of this
that the full force Of the work, both
In an artistic point view and as a
portraiture appropriate for the posi-
tiea in which il is to be placed,
strikes us.
"Mr. Fishers blending of coIors
and his iztroduction of lights, it is
easy TO perceiSe, are the fruits of
long and careful study. In attention
to detail he has been faithful and
conscientious, treating every point
with a true LAYER for his art. The
portrait IS highly finished, yet the
strength and spirit of the lines are
lost in no particular. In all Iepeets
Mr.. Fisher has produced a work
worthy to be hung along side of the /.
best portraits in the Capitol"
