The cultivation of tobacco In our county
and State, haying greatly increased dui
ing the last ton years, has become an ag
ricultaral product of considerable impor
tance, , We rest:ne some statistics in
relation to its production and market,
win 1d be interesting to our readers, many
of whom are engaged in Ili cultiyation.
In the year 1850, the quantity raised,
(the entire crop of the - 1;104.d Statei.)
as stated in census report, was
tiss pounds.
The peculiar condition of the country
at the present timo, and the fact that
some of the-tobacco growing States are
disloyal, %dale others are the battle-fields
of contending armies, and the industry
of the country is directed from its wonted
chancels, has turned the attention of
farmers, of more northern 'attitudes, to
the culture of this plant, the result of
which will be perceived by the estimated
Amount of-the crop, as stated- by the
monthly report of the Commissioners of
agriculture for October, 1863. The said
estimate, of course, being fur the loyal
States only, Um following table will ex
hibit the estimated crops a 1832 and,
lase, 1863 ;

The ..product of 1863, amounting to
267, 302,770 pounds,. or 122,510,117
ponnds more than that of 1862. In ad:
dition,to the. present crop, there yet re- 1
mains in our country, of the crop of 1862,
quite 60,000,000 pounds, which, added
to that o f the present, or crop of 1863,
makes, in the aggregate, three hundred
and thirty-one million pounds. The con
sumption of tobacco in the Vi s ited States
is estimated at eighty million pounds,
this deducted from thc former amount,
it is apparentthat there will consequently
be, in our market, two hundred and fifty-1
one milliog pounds for export.
At the renumerative priees growers
have been receiving fur their tobacco,
during the yer.rs '6l and '62, say fourteen
cents per pound, and a foreign market I
continues, our exports, the present year. I
will amount to thirty-six million dollars,
for the article o' tobacco alone. and will
exceed, in amount, nearly one-half that
o f any former year in the history of our
country. The question naturally arises:
Will the market iu Europe continuo to
increase and demand this extraordinary
export from our country ?
ReCeptiy tobacco is being raibed or
grown in Europe through a wide range
of temperature, from the equator to
Moscow, in Russia, in lattitude 56°, and
through all the intervening range of cli
mate, 4u4, may possibly, at no distant
period, be a competitor with our country.

out of the pity to its defence, and armed
citizens were placed on guard over the
citizens. Horsemen were dashing to and
fro, and the excitement among the pris
oners to know the cause of all this ex
citement became intense. It was soon
learned that a large cavalry and infantry
force with - artillery had -made- their -ap
pearance on the peninsula at Bolton's

that Richmond was actually threatened
by the Yankees. The same hurrying of

would have but little difficulty in enter

erty, and - returning by the peninsula be
fore any sufficient force to resist them
could be brought to the aid of the small
garrison left to defend it, for several days
previous to this alarm, the troops in and
around the city, to the number of 4,000
or 5,000 had been sent off to join Lee's
army, with great despatch, the impres
sion prevailing that a movement was con
templated by General Meade. In this they
were right, as during the progress of the
excitement on Sunday, intelligence was
received that Gen. Meade had crossed
the Rapidam on Monday morning. A
courier arrived at City Point, bringing
copies of the morning papers with the
intelligence that the excitement had abat
ed, and that it had peen ascertained that
the Yunkees wore falling linek„from_ tba i

SKIRMISH WITH GUERRILLAS.
• Death of Major Larrimer.
267.302.770
We learn that Maj. Larrimei of the
Fifth Pennsylvania Reserve Regiment,
Acting Inspector-General on Gen. Craw
ford's Staff, was shot dead, on Sunday
last the 14th inst., skirmishing with
guerrillas, about two miles east of Breu-
tonsville. He was out with a scouting
party of somo fifty men of the Thirteenth
Pennsylvania Cavalry who, as they were
crossing a bridge over Cedar Run at the
point above mentioned, were suddenly
fired upon by a hand of guerrillas con
cealed in a pine thicket a short distance
off the road.
Our men were driven back across the
bridge, but there held 'their ground un
til a•lsistanee could be sent for from Gen
eral CaAwronn's Division. Colonel
JACIV.3Oti, of the Eleventh Pennsylvania
Reserve., was sent out with a portion of
his regiment, and on his approach the
Rebels lied. Our men then recrossed
the bridge to the point where they had
been driven back, and brought away the

TA homicide has been 'committed. ; A
young 'mau has been shot ' down, arid
killed, in Columbia. "The public in
dignant; and wish "to visit a just retribu
tion on the beads of the guilty: All eyes
ate turned towards the proprietor who
got np - the '-dance. Let us"examine the
matter, and seeif he is a sinner above all
men. - Many respectable people drink
whiskey and lager Without gettingdmink;
and attend dances without ever dreaming
that they. are committing crime. It is
represented' that a portion, at least, of
the females who Attend., these, dances, are
common prostitutes, that the males are of
different grades from those who occupy
respectable and responsible positions in
society; clown to the lowest grades of
drunken loafers. But no one should
pretend that it is any-more criminal for
a loafer, or prostitute, to drink and dance
than for a respectable person to_ do the
same thing. I believe that it is a crime
to get drunk, ant all will agree that it is
a crime for one persou to commit 'an as
sault upon another. Why then should
the public.become indignant at that per
don of
,the transaction, which the law
does not define as a crime ? Why not
begin where the crime begins ? Itappears
that certain persons attended this dance
who are in the habit of attending all such
gatherings for the purpose of getting up
a fight; that these persons had arranged
a plan to whip the stranger who corn-'
mitted the homicide; that one of the
party struck at him as he passed out the
door; that several persons followed him
in a threatening attitude; that he, hav-
ing been informed that he was to be at
tacked, shot into the crowd and killed a
young man who had been there but a
short time. These same persons, who
planed this attack, are in the habit of get- '
ting drunk and disturbing religions meet
ings, and assaulting and „ibusiag any and
all persons who remonstrate against their
conduct. Drunkenness is the cause that
planed the attack, which resulted in the
death of this young man ; and drunken
ness is the point at which public indig
nation should be aimed, if we wish to
prevent a repetition of this tragic scene
of bloodshed in our midst. Fanatics have
made several attempts to prohibit the sale
of intoxicating drinks; allot' which have
proved a failure. The public have de
cided that it is not the duty of the human
family to give up the use of rum for the
purpose of preventing a.few from getting
drunk. Drinking and dancing are not.
crimes, by the lay sof 'our State; but
drunkenness l i,i ; uuJ thesik who .eucour
age drunketmeis int&t share kportiou stf
the responsibility. We .hay.e, -- .laws to
punish drunkenness and other crimes;
but who do we employ-to administer the
laws ? Would their pot he as much pro-
priety in employing a person of profane
and wicked habits for a minister of the
gospel, as there is in employing a person
to administer our statute laws, who is in
the daily habit of violating their provis
ions? The former would encourage sin,
and the latter encourages crime. What
right then have the good people of Co
lumbia to get indignant at a man for
selling rum and getting up dances; both
of which are legitimate; when they elect
drunken men to administer the laws; and
thereby encourage drunkenness and
crime ? Hotel keeping is just as legitim
late a business as selling flour; the landlord
pays his license, the law authorizes him
t. sell ruin, the citizens drink it, and all
parties are satisfied, until some one gets
drunk, and then, by sonic strange meta
-1 morposis in public opinion, a sympathy
l is got up for the drunken man who has
committed the crime, and an attempt
made to fasten the blame on the person
who sold the ruin. Every State in the
Union authorizes the sale of rum, and it
is time, that drunkards and fanatics were
made to conlbrin to proper legitimate re
straint; as it. is extremely doubtful which
produces the most mischief

A Tax Payers Convention of, delegates
from all parts of our county, last week,
agreed, almost unanimously, to the issu
ing of county bonds to the amount of
$BOO,OOO, (as soon as the necessary leg
islation could be obtained) for the pur,
pose of paying bounties to volunteers,
but afterwards-cold water was thrown on
this arrangement by an anonymous call
for a convention. opposed to the issue of
any more bonds. As a consequence, the
commissioners _refuse to•do anythiny in
the matter, Wore legislation is obtained,
and it is rmclered quite probable that,
during the delay, the golden opportunity
for filling our- quota of troops by enlist

Penn declared his desire to make his

The late Dr. Duponcean and Mr.
Francis George Fisher, in their elaborate
Memoir, read before the Pennsylvania
Historical Society, declare their convic
tion that the treaty with thelndiair sach
ems did not, as is generally supposed,
settle any price for the territory which
the Delawares transferred to the' Eng
lishma.ti, but was solely a treaty of friend
ship and good will.
The famous Moravian missionary,
Heckewelder, says that he himself fre
quently witnessed the repetition of the
ceremony among the Indians in distant
regions, long after Penn had returned to
England. He says the chiefs of a tribe
would assemble together in some place as
near like the scene of the original treaty
as they could find, and there spread out
their records of the transaction, going
through all the minutia of the ceremony
with the utmost exactness. This is one
of the most touching and beautiful facts
in the whole range of history,' and proves
how deeply a strong and noble character
will impress itself upon others.
