TObaccO-EIs Trade and Its
Growing.

The attention of the farmers of Full
ton and the business men of Hickman
is being foreibly directed to the i'm
Portanee of again growing tobacco and
of building up tobacco market at
Hickman. Years ago the business of
Hickman derived rich revenue from
this source, and the farmers, those at
least who cultivated tobacco, msde
their lands and exertions pay a better
per centage. The growth of cotton in
this section was a war measure, and
should have been left off with the war.
The seasons here are too short for cot
ton, and its cultivation disastrous to
our farmers. The financial distress of
this year is Illustrative of the effect of
the different crops on the different
sections. In all the cotton sections
dull trades, and hard times prevail,
while the minUte you strike the tobac
co belt more prosperous financial air
is felt. Thefs is pR such thing as

B Of politicians, was as business center,
dsil, inipid, dead but since the estab-
lishment OF their tobacco market, the
whole town has been revitalized and
re energized. The same is true OF
Hopkinsville. Why may not Hick
man enter the field successfully? The
objection to the enterprise at Mayfeld
was that it was too near, under the
shadow of the great market of Padu
cab; but facts proved its success. Hick
man can be made better market, and
draw upon larger section of country.
The counties of Obiou, Weakly and
Carroll on the Northwestern road, and
portions of Dyer and Fulton by wag-
ons, can be made directly tributary TO
our market, for this is the most conve-
nient point.

The ALEXANDRIA AQUEDUCT BRIDGE. -
The following is a synopsis of the report OF
Col. Craighll, of the engineer corps, 10 rela-
lion TO the agueduct bridge over the Potomac
river at Georgetown:
The material of which the bridge is built Is
subjec, to decay, and has decayed, as Lieut.
Turtles report shows. Watchfulness aud
prompt replacement of dccayed parts would 20
tar to Gsiut.n the original strength OF the
structure. Without these there is constant
danger. Extensive repairs are now 10 pro
sress, and are intended TO be thorough, am
Informed. Summarily, the bridge 10 its prs
ent condition cauno,, in my judgment, be con
Siered sale. If thoroughly repaired aud ad
Iustcd according to the present plan, it will be
as safe as the certificate Of the Chief Engineers
stated II to be 10 1869, and as severe trial and
Use have shown it to be.
The present. plan and arrangements of the
bridge are not the best, aud are barely admls
s'hle Tor such a structure with the relations It
iAs to the capital city of the nation, or to al y
Important city, where not only strength bu'
NshIIlness should be considered. The per.
msneucy, or 10 other words, the continued
e"itty o the structure, can only be assured by
uurcuttlng attention to keeping all its parts
10 thorough repair aud adjustment, aud the
enforcement Of proper regulations for its Use
