CIarksviIIe Tobacco Market
OFFICE OF THE CHRONICLE, D
CIARKSVIIIE. Nav 96. 1871.

Our receipts are good, and our sales this
week will be between 700 and 800 hogsheads.
The market is active and firm for all grades,
though at times with some irregularity in
prices. Some few hogsheads of fine appear,
which bring fair prices, say lac to l61zc. 1t
is unfortunate that the crop affords so few
of them, the general run of the breaks being
very poor. We hope that our planters will
be able to make a full and good crop this
season. By fall the European war may be
over, when breadstuffs win decline, and
the markets be ready to receive large crop
of good Tobocco. We quote;

ted much alarm. The fire is still rag
ing in the direction of the Mail dock,
and spreading nortnward along the city
front, in the lumber yards and west
ward towards Front street. The mob
are becoming more demonstrative and
with difficulty are held in check. They
are attacking the police and vigilantes
with stones. The force charged on the
crowd with clubs and pistols, firing
ABOUT nifty shots, and forced them back.
Gen. Cobb, in charge of the vigilantes,
reports the riot increasing, and asks
that the military be dispatched to his
assistance, but Chief of Police Ellis
declines to have the troops ordered out
except as a last resort.
Reinforcements of vigilantes have
been dispatched to the scene, and now
