Ofall the staple crops Of the Ohio
Valley for 1880 none have given so
great profit as white Burley tobacco
Itstands in the lead OF all farm crops.
II u 10 greater demand than any other,
asd commands from tS to sl2fO COM
mon, ELI TO ego tor fine and s20 to a22
per 100 for extra crops. Planters get
frsm 1000 10 1000 pounds per acre,
and some have made ever eco per
acre clear OF cost of labor and marke t.
ing. Oi course the lands which grow
the finest Bur!ey crops are somewhat
limited, but tests made last year show
that the area suited 10 its growth IS
much more extended than has been
heretofore believed. The seed OF this
variety is selling by the hundreds oil
pounds, and large crop OF it will be
planted all through the tobacco-srow-
log district. What effect the prospec-
tive large crop will have upon values is
q matter Of conjecture, but dealers
think it will command over el2 Tor
good crops, no matter how much is
raised. The white Burley tobacco Is
used by manufacturers OF both fine cut
and plug. Good. rich red crops bring
the highest prlces.-LouisriHe Courier

known such monster petitions to be
presented to the Legislature as in
North Carolina. On yesterday one
petition'presented in the House was
alleged to contain $4,000 names.
and another in the Senate $4,000.
The others presented had in the
aggregate 5000, making the tota
Of petitioners on yesterday $4,000.
And yet some Legislative wag, is
credited with saying that yesterday
was not very good day for the tenn
perance people either. The aggre'
gate number Of petitioners thus far
cannot fall short of 100000. We
have heard it estimated at more, but
we will stop at that. There are
probably but few petitioners under
the age of fifteen, as a considerable
number Of the people in the State
cannot write, it would seem that
about one half of those capable Of
doing SO have signed these petitions
praying for prohibition.

The LARGEST CATTLE SALE
EVER MADE.-The Trinidad Cal
Republican of a recent date says :
"The largest cattle sale that mas
ever taken place, we venture to say,
in tie world was consumated the
ther day by the Hall Brothers,the
New Mexico cattle kings, who DIS
posed of their rancho aud stock: in
Colfax county for 100000. About
a year ago one of the brothers, Of
whom there were then three in part
ncrship, sold out TO the other two
his interest, receiving, it We re-
member correctly, 100000 and
5000 hea OF cattle, lie then re-
moved to Texas, where he still is.
The two other brothers continued
the business till the present time
and may now retire to private lie
with the snug little bank account
Of $500, 900 EACH"

The Railroad Sale.

The Richmond Wing 10 its editorial
column Of 10 day, in giving an account
OF the sale Of the Atlantic, Mississippi
and Ohio railroad, goes out Of the wa,
to make fling at The Baltimore aud
Ohio railroad, and TO congratulate Its
readers that the control Of The road has
passed into other hands adverse to the
interests Of the Virginia Midland rail-
road. In other words, the people OF
Virginia are TO be congratulated because
this important line of railroad has been
purchased by Philadelphia parties in
preference TO our Baltimore neighbors.
We do mol see where the point exactly
comes in. Between Baltimore and
Philadelphia the preference of the ma
iority OF our people is clearly with the
former, aud their interests lie with the
city near by rather than the one more
distant aud remote. The attack on the
Baltimore aud OHIO railroad was the
more uucalled for as it does not even
appear TINT any bid was made by that
that interest for the Atlantic, Missippi
and Ohio railroad at the recent sale.
and 1t is not believed that tue former
named company was party in any Of
the combinations for purchase OF the
latter road. Why tie Midland railroad
is not as much q Virginia corporation
as the Shenandoah Valley railroad we
are al lost to perceive. The true in
terests OF the people Of Virginia depend
more upon he improved facilities OF
transportation which may be provided
by the railroad lines, than upon The
location of the capitalists who may Own
aud operate them.-Aler. Gazette.

PANAMA, Feb. 5.-Deta!ls have
been received of the battles OF Chorillos
and Miraflores, which show that the
attack on the Peruvian position on Jan.
10 was a complete surprise. The
Gillian force, $4,000 strong, took up
a position, on the afternoon Of The
18th. within sight Of their opponents;
and the following morning advanced In
three divisions. The battle ragged
6ercely until midday, when the ChlllanS
succeeded in surrounding the town on
three sides aud forcing the Perueians to
retire on Mira6ores and make last
stand for the defense of Lima. % the
18th the action again began, the
Chillians being aided by the fire from
their ships. AS evening approached
The Chilians charged through the town
and drove the remnant of the defenders
in confusion towards Lima. Ncgotla
lions were afterwards entered into, aud
on the .l7tb OF January the Chllians
marched into Lima and the CHILEAN nag
was hoisled for The second time oyer

In the organization Of the next Senate.
which is TO be repaid IN aid ''of his

In which correspondents indulge, not so
