The New York Hcrald correspondent,

Crater" by the company OF french no
/ blemen. thus refers to the fearful battle
of July, 1864:
"Happily or unhappily. as your sym
pathies be, no one was hurt, nothing ac-
complished by the big blow-up. but the
/ brink of the Crater served Captain NC
/ Cabe as an excellent rostrum to deliver
a brilliant dissertation upon the Federal
siege of Petersburg.
We who we're in the neighborhood on
that eventful day fancied, and have al
ways believed, that some 1000 or more
bit the dust between "morn and dewy
eve."

THE TOBACCO MARKET.
The fine prices realized in this market
for flue-cured and all the higher grades

tributary TO other cities, and our mer-

inquiry. A planter of Prince Edward
county wrote yesterday that he intends
TO send his entire crop of 10000 pounds
TO this market as soon as 1t can be
/ handled to advantage.

bacco crop is housed and the peanuts
pretty generally have been dug and
there is very little for frost to inJure.
