It is rather singular that Americans are the only civilized people who habit ually chew tobacco, although sailors oi nearly every nation are addicted to its mastication, It IS singular too, that NC probably enjoy tobacco in other ways less than other countries. Shutting is rather rare here, common as 1t is in En. rope, especially on the continent. We do not smoke any more, If as much as the English; and the French, Italians, notably the Germans, Dutch and Span iards exceed us in smoking. But as tor bacco-eaters we occupy the field alone, having it is 10 be regretted, monopoly of one of the, most unwholesome and obnoxious of practices. The, national mas,ication and expectoration are known over the world, and do ample service in Il conceptions and caricatures of Broth CT Jonathan.

The course which you are about to
pursue-that is in publishing the TEL
EGRAPH as a Daily, is highly COM
mendable, and is deserving of all the
patronage that could possibly be given
it. 1t will, in my opinion, fill a want
long felt, and will be Of considerable
value not only to our merchants who
purchase cotton, but also to the plan
tiers who have the staple for sale.
There are very few towns OF the size Of
Monroe that have not q daily paper.
The increasing business of Monroe de-
you will receive that deservedly sufi-
cient patronage which would enable
you to successfully conduct the paper.
