To Tobacco Growers.

The following circular has
been sent to some of the lead
ing country merchants and far
merS of this county. As the
time for planting tobacco has
arrived, we deem it of sufficient
Importance, to publish the cir
cular. ...
BALTIMORE, May 18Th, 1874.
In our April and May circu
lars We have fully explained
the critical situation of our to-
bacco market caused by over
production. Our interest be
lug identical with that of the
merchant and farmer, we deem
the subject of sufficient import
ance to issue This extra circular,
in order to avert heavy losses
10 all parties, concerned IN
Corn and pork being scarce
and wanted for export, while
tobacco is a drug, we advise
your farmers to plant at least
two-thirds OF their tobacco
ground in corn, which from
present prospects will yield the
best return, even assuming
that a small tobacco crop will
be planted. H
Very respectfully. ,is

ELsEwBERE we give what the

ELSEWHERE we give what the
jackson Standard has 10 say
about our libel suit. Here is
what the Sciota Gazette says.
These are the only papers We
have received commenting up
on 1t at the time of going to
press
The Jackson Standard of the
14lh inst, states that it has
been informed that Capt. Rap.
er, OF the Vinton Record, has
been indicted by the Grand
Jury for libel, for publishing
an ANONYMOUS communication
about Judge Du Halfway re
ceiving a present from a man
in Hamien, insinnating some
thing like bribery If We are
correctly informed the article
complained of stated the recep-
tion of a box by Judge
DuHadway. whose contents
were unkno wn. which the cor.
respondent claimed was sent to
the Judge by a man whom that
officer had a short time pre-
vious passed sentence upon,
supposed bv some to be unnec.
essarily light. And il we re.
member Alright, the communi-
cation was followed hv some
editorial remarks which stated
positively that he (ihe editor)
"had too much confidence in
Judge Hu Hallway, to believe
that he would receive a bribe
from any one but proceeded
to speak deprecatinPlv of the
practice of men in official 20.
sitions accepting presents
while officially engaged. Just
how Judge D1 Hadwav finds
grounds for a libel suit in that
kind of an article, is more than
we can see, and we fancy the
Judge will be able 10 carry the
fnll amount Of the damages he
will receive about his person
without any danger of being
robbed.

A Letter from a Little Girl.


A Letter from a Little Girl.
WILKEsVILLE, o.. May lst, 1874.
To the Editor Of the Vinton Record:
lam a little girl ten years
old, but l hope tins story
will please you. 1 have three
little Sebright chickens, and |
think il other little girls want
pets that are useful they had
better get Sebrights. One Of
mine was hunting a nest not
very long ago and she could
not find one TO suit her, so she
slipped into the kitchen and
finally flew into the cup
board and few in the sugar
bowl; but that did not suit her,
so she got on top OF the cup
board and was going to lay
there. Then we took her down
and put her in a box, and she
laid there. We put it outside
and the next day she came
right past the box into the
house, and ever since that they
lay nearly constantly and are
such nice pets, They are a
daily pleasure 10 me.
Respectfully yours, MABEL NJ.

RAILI,OAD.

SOnle eAclteIiltnt uue eAietou
during the past two or three
weeks on the subject of a rail
road lrorl this point to Circle
vile. A company has been
organized to build a road be-
tween the two points Tor 'ome
time, and lately a new com
pany has been organized to
build a narrow gauge railroad
from Oolambus aud Circleyille
to the coal fields of this sec.
ton. The latter has aroused
considerable opposition in Nc
Arthur because it is believed
to be The inte niiOn of the pro-
jectors to run their road near
the western line of the county,
making Wellston the objective
point, and that should such
road be built it would be diff.
cult to obtain subscription for
another road.
Of the two routes talked oil
there can be no question that
the Macarthur route will let
the people oil Circleville into
the richest and most extensive
mineral fields of both coal and
iron, and there is no reason
that We can see why both COM
panieS should not consolidate
their energies to the one route
rather than distract public at
tention by two projects, and
thus lessen the chances OF eth
er. If the object OF the narrow
gauge company is to reach
WellSton, it can be reached by
way OF Macarthur with a less
number OF miles of new road 10
build than by any other route
with the advantge of running
through the best coal and iron
of the county and tapping the
o., McA. & Q. r. r. with its
forty miles of our best mineral
country. The advantage to
the people of CirclevilIe will
be marked. To 20 down Salt
Creek Valley they will have
but a single considerable coal
point-Wellston, while by the
other route they have not only
Wellston but forty 10 fifty
miles of coal field with over
200 proprietors, giving them
what they want-competition.
These are objects which will
not be overlooked by men who
put their money in a railroad,
and we understand the superi-
ority Of the mineral and other
advantages on the upper or
Macarthur route was presented
to the narrow gauge company
at their meeting at Hamden,
last week in such light that
their engineer will be here tc
examine the route this week.

The NAvY.-The report of Score.
tary Robson shows the navy to be in
q remarkably efficient condition, con-
tanning l63 war vessels, with an arma-
ment of 1854 guns. Twenty-six of
these vessels have sail-power only,
leaving steam navy of 1877 vessels Of
all classes. One-half of the steam navy
adapted to cruising is now in actual
service. He recommends gradual
and constant addition to the navy, to
supply the places Of worn-out vessels.
The Secretary refers briefly to the Vir-
ginius affair, the yellow fever at Peusa-
cola, gives an extended review of the
great naval drill, and alludes favorably
to tho public marine school system. A
novel feature of the report is an &C.
count of an effort to secure the emil
grafton of Icelanders to Alaska. A
commission of Icelanders was taken to
Alaska on the steamer Portsmouth.
They made Reconnaissance, and have
just returned to San Francisco. The
Secretary believes they arc we'll pleased,
and will return home and recommend
an Immediate emigration of those
hardy fishermen and sailors, who, if
they do not like Alaska. will doubtless
settle in the neighboring Territories
further South.

UNIroMITY IN BALLOTS. .--Rcpresenta-

at on early day bill 10 make the Cali
fornia election law national-that ie,
to provide that all ballots shall be
similar, and devoid of distinguishing
features, and in this way to prevent
Intimidation and interference at the
polls. This plan has much to COM
mend it, but it will, doubtless, be op-
posed by those who have been accus-
toned to manipulate the colored vote.
An impudent oarpet-bagger named W.
T. Clarke, elected to Congress from
tho Galveston (Texas) District by the
negro vote some years ago, it is said,
had printed in New York prior to the
election ballots with bucks like playing
cards, and the negroes were duly
warned to vote only "De playin' card
ticket" II Mr.. Sener's bill becomes
law there will be on end to such de.
vices as this, and tue spread eagles md
portraits of Lincoln, Grant and other
celebrities will no more grace the bal

HEART DISEASE. 1t is somewhat of
a coincidence that MIR. Gardner, who
was tue late Mayor Havcmeyor's up
pointee as Commissioner OF Docks,
should die AS suddenly, on Friday, as
tho Mayor did on last Monday. He
was going to his homo, VIXEN he fell to
the ground and expired. The prcva-
lence of heart disease among promi-
nent public men and merchants, in
New York, is to hc noted. The deaths
OF Mr.. Sturges and Mr.. Talbot, last
week, were very sudden, though they
were carried off with pneumonia.

THH SToKRs CAR1.-The, case Of E.
+. Stokes, Esq. being called, he .ap.
peared, and took his. seat at the bar.
he was wrapped in his cloak and bis
long hair; silvered over, hung over bis.
shoulders, giving him a venerable and
solemn appearance. Judge Cooke sd-.
dressed him in very feeling and
solemn tone. saying: "Mr. Stokes,
have sent for you this morning with
the view OF making an effort once
moro to the end that yon may be re-.
lieved from your imprisonment. The
Supreme Court has sustained the
action OF this Court, and the Court
thought You would comply, but you
have not, from some cause or other.
It appeared that there might be some
ground for tho Court to have you dis
charged, and 1t felt disposed to give
you the benefit OF any doubts. The
board of physicians have made their
examination, and under that return, I
cannot discharge you. I have had
you brought into court to give you one
more opportunity TO come upon the
stand and obey the law, and not set it
at defiance by aetting up your own
Judgment against the highest tribunal
OF the land, the Supreme Court. Your
case has been the subject of meditation
by the Court deg and night. It seems
strange that you set up your judg-
ment against the Court. I give you
one more opportunity; say yea or nay.
They say you have the ability to ma.
mage your peouniary affairs, and the
report shows further that they regard
you as being capable of taking care of
your person. II you comply with the
requirements Of the law, you will be
discharged. If you refuse, it will be
the solemn duty of the Court to re-
mand You into the hands of the Sheriff.
II You 60 to Jail, your health may be
impaired, or you may die; but the law
must be obeyed."
After attending to some other bnsi-
ness, Judge Cooke again addressed the
defendant in these words: "Mr.
Stokes, your silence indicates TINT you
will not comply. It is, no doubt, a
source of unpleRsantness to you to he
paraded through the streets, coming
to and returning from the Court, in the
charge OF the Sheriff. You will, there.
fore. be remanded until you signify
your willingness to comply with the
law; and when you feel inclined 30 to
do. if you will inform the Court, it
will consider your case"
Mr.. Stokes rose from hia seat and
was escorted by Sheriff Southern to
the door, when he was taken charge of
by Mr.. Harrison and escorted back to
his quarters in the jail, the Court in
structing tue Sheriff to grant the
prisoner no moro privileges than was
allowed to other prisoners, inasmuoh
as the County paid his expenses.
On motion of Whitner Symmes, act
ing Solicitor, it was ordered, that inas-
much as there were no grounds coz
tained in the return Of the Board of
Examining Physicians that would au-
thorize the discharge of Mr. Stokes, it
was ordered that he be remanded.

The LURD GLARE OF INcENp1ARy
FLAMEs.-In Edgefeld, the lurid glare
OF incendiary flames has become we'll
nigh as familiar to us as the sunlight
OF heaven. Scarcely q day passes,
literally. that We do not hear of some
infamous incendiary FIRE within tue
limits of our County. Women and
children tremble with apprehension
throughout the night; and mon have
begun to sleep in their gin-houses as
naturally as in their chambers. We
make list OF these fres, to bear us
ont In what we affirm. Since the 10Th
OF 10th Of November, when the mill OF
b. +. Mays. Esq. WAS burned, some
eleven or twelve other citizens within
radius OF twenty miles, have been
similarly damaged. Only four or five
days ago, the handsome dwelling house
OF Col. b. NJ. Talbert, two miles from
Rehoboth, WAS entirely destroyed.
This was the old family homestead Of
the Talberts, and the house WAS one of
the best in Edgefield County. Col
Talbert's less is fully $1,000. Mr..
Press Blackwell, of the DIRK Corner.
has lost large store touse, and a
barn containing large quantity Of
corn and fodder. His loss is esti-
mated at 81, 900. Mr.. James Moss has
lost gin-house, with considerable cot.
ton and cotton seed. Mr.. E. W, Dow.
~. living over on the Western side,
has lost gin. and four bales of
cotton. DR.. Rushton, of the Bethle-
hem section, has lost O barn or Gin.
house, with considerable quantity of
cotton. In this house was cotton be-
longing to negro who had voted the
conservative ticket. A citizen. named
fiper. OF the Clouds Greek country.
has lost cotton house, with cotton
and forage. Mr.. George Strother's
blaeksmith shop has been burned
Mr. Harry Reel, OF the Duntonsyille
neighborhood, has lost crib or barn.
with some 1875 bushels of corn. Mr..
Scott Allen has lost eight or nine bales
OF cotton, and with difficulty saved his
gin-hoase. Mr.. John Hoilingsworth
has lost two out-buildings, with two
valuable vehicles. In only one of
these cases is white man suspected,
and he is now in our jail. In no other
case has an arrest been made. IN the
face OF this state of things, is it any
wonder that Col. Bacon should have
introduced his lynch law resolution in
the meeting Of Monday last2 Or that
our people should have endorsed the
resolution? OF all lswless demons
