Every man wo meet who has sold tobacco in Asheville so far is well pleas ed with the prices obtained. Our ware housemen and buyers are determined that this market shall maintain its pre eminence. Ail of which helps our farmers. Mr. James Colvin, of Buncombe, now issociated with Mr. Murdock in some large contracts on the Three C.'g, and Georgia, Caiolina and Northern railroads, in Sutith Carolina, is visiting his n.any fricnln this week. He - ays work ia te inc rapidly pushed, and these will cer tainly be importaiu lines when completed. A good deal of tobacco came in yester day by wagon&. We noticed on the loor of the Farmers' warehouse the only one we visited on account of the rain and mud that th siles showed a much higher general i Sjfragi ofqualitv than we have ever sgi here before. But there was some so rid that we won dered how it ever found its w?y to mar ket. Donl let the owner complain of the market when he- finds the stna'.l price bid for it. The telegraphic dispatches inform us: " Marine Private Coleman has be -n sen tenced by court-martial to ten days' solitar3' confinement for "disrespectful language ' in refilling to take pills tire- scrib?d by the navy physicirn."

Mefoud reached home from an extensive business trip in the North, Wednesday. He reports pros pects for; As important enterprises in Asheville k-ery good. Capt. Bi-fese, who with Capt. McLoud attended the Bankers' Convention at Pittsburg, returned a day or two since. Both gentlemen were highly pleased with their trip. They visited many of the immense industrial enterpnses of Pitts burg, and say they were simply immense. The public debt of the city and cornty a $17,000,000, and the people said they did not mind it, as it was with borrowed money. they built up their immense in dustr:es, and were thus enabled to carry their debt only paying interest with out burden. Their annual output is over $500,000,000. We are sorry that the colored people had weather so bad for their Fair. They had expected 50,000. That was rather extravagant calculation, but clear weather would have given large attendance. We are deeply and 6incerelv interested in the icdustrial progress of the race, and have more than once expressed pleasure and astonishment at the tine illustration of progrefs made in their annual Fairs, much more pleased at that than at their political yaasai&ga. They seem l-ound band and foot to the Republican party, pietended friends, but fait hlees, using the negro for its own purposes, making un fair distribution of office and honors, and barrinz the wav to real progress which will only come with liberation of ideas and action.

The abundance of the last crop, and the generally favorable condition of the ground, "have greatly favored seeding op erations. Johnson Humphrey's barber shop, in the basement of tho new Chedister building, is one of the most handsomely arranged shops in the city, and his cus tomers cannot fail to be pleased with the manner in which they are served. Water has been turned on again, thanks to Providence. Our people were getting terribly behind on water, and the turning on ha3 been none too soon. The new pump has arrived, and will be put in place within a few days, when we hope ah will be well hereafter. i - Adjutant-General Johnstone Jones par ticipated in the grand ceremonials at Richmond yesterday. North Carolina was weakly represented in her mililary, only two companies being present. Our people revere the memory of Gen. Rob ert E. Lee, and that noble ehief'tain honored and respected his North Caro lina soldieis. But the absence of our State military on this occasion was unavoidable. This is emphatically the busy commercial season; and the companies, altogether from the towns, are made up of young men whose services were indispensable to their employers. An exchange says : " The ergageraent of Miss Garfield to Mr. Brown, her late father's private secretary, is off, and the young lady has been taken by her mother to Europe. It is said by an intimate friend that Mrs. Garfield prevented the marriage because the j-oung man has little money and poor prospects." We dare say that young Brown is as well off now as Mr. Garfield was when Mrs. Garfield became his wife; and his prospects for prominence or distinction are j'ust as good now as were Mr. Gar field's for some time after his lusrriage. And besides tho money the family now Las was not made by Mr. Garfield, but is the gift of a sympathetic people. Pos sibly had this money not been given the Garfields young Brown would hae stood a better chance. But he is poor as poor as this fondly was before the charity of the people made them rich, and so he must not now be admitted, however worthy he may be, to social relations with the family. This is a great world, any way, The Bulletin Of the North Carolina Department of Agriculture, for October, is to hand.

An article in the Century, contributed by iVof William E. Hidden, gives an interesting account of various meteoric fragments of bodies seen to fall and pick ed up soon thereafter.- The number is exceedingly small of those whose authen tication is without dispute, not exceeding nine in all, though there is scarcely a cabinet in the country which does not claim to own a genuine meteorite;! enuine they are, no doubt, because the charac teristic tests are infallible; but not recogn ized fully by Prof. Hidden, because no one saw them fall. uC We think we can add another to the Piofe sor'a nine, though wj cannot tell where any fragment of the fallen body can now be found. In the month of March, 1S48, about 10 o'cli :kin the morn ing of a bright still day, crossing a street in the town of Fayetteville, we were startled by the loud report of what appeared to be a piece of artillery. Turn ing in the direction of the U. S. Arsenal, from which fire alarm signals were made at night, we for the second supposed the sound came from that point, but instantly remembered that no signal gun was ever fired during the hours of day light; and we therefore concluded we had heard the explosion of a meteoric body. The sound came from a little We6t of North; and we waited impatiently for the Char lotte papers which might give information of the phenomenon. There were no rail roads nor telegraph line in those days, in that direction; and it was nearly a "wee.; before we receive'! a paper published in Charlotte, which did give a full and in teresting account of the loud exnlosion of some rerial mass, at the day and hour of our observation, the explot-ion being apparently overhead. The fragments were said to have been scattered broad cast over a portion of the county of, Af-ecklenburg, in a wcode 1 district. -The only piece found was picked up while still warm by a man cutting wood at the time. He described his terror as the air seemed to bo filled witlji flying .frasr.'nents which struck trees aiiC.limbs, culling them arid tiurling"thtx.-S.i ti:e ground a'ound where he stood.'. With ali bis terror, he had the presence oi mind to secure one piece which he brought to Charlotte the same day and gave it to Prof. Gibbons, then Director of the U. S. Mint, And faither than this we know nothing. The fact that such piece was found im mediately after its fall, and also that it was given to Prof, Gibbons, is indisput able fact". Don't l'-t our su-rgpstion about the care of the young trees on the square be neglected, some hot summer day the value of those trees will be appreciated; and in connec tion with the fountain which we live in hopes to see always in active pluv, there will be a pretty combi nation of rustling foliage and cool ing waters.

The Pageant Yesterday at Richmond A Gloomy Day, but a Jubilant Crowd. CAROLIX THERE WITH TWO MILITARY t'OMPAXIEH. Ex.President Davis' Reception in Georgia. Grand Speech by Ex Miuister Jackson. IBj telegraph to th Asheville Citizcn.l New York, Oct. 27 A Macon, Georgia, special to the Herald says : Last night a great torchlight demon stration occurred in honor of Jeft'er- vson Davis. General Henry Jackson, r.A-imuisu:r vj utexieo in nis speecn to the veterans yesterday said : ''Confederate "veterans, there stands upon the soil of Georgia the distin guished Misslssippian who within the life of the present generation was a so-called traitor, leadi-r of the so-called lost cause. We Confeder ate veterans, relict of armies which fought lor that cause,, are here to meet him, to move before him in pride and pomp of no Roman tri umph it is true, but bending our necks to no Roman yoke of subjuga tion. By invation of the State of Georgia speaking through her duly empowered officials, all have come. Behold majestic truth revealing herself. State soverignty is notfdead. Georgia is soyerign still and calls upon her people to glory with her to-day Her glory is in her history. Her history is the memory of her dead and this day is consecratrd to her Confederate dead. They were guilty of r.o treason to her. To whom then, could they he traitors. Where shall we seek their higher sovareign? Shall we find him in the Federal constitution? Then there was a sovereign smitten to earth by traitor hnn ls tramped to dii:it by V-ritor feet, bur hands and leet were not theirs. Do we hold that maivwho fought iigjtinst them wi re traitors ? Not at all; thej' too, were loyal to their sovereign. The constitution wa-i but a treaty be tween high contracting sovereign parties without one iota of sover eignly in itself; since with impunity through long years of painful agi tation w'as it broken by sovereign parties of the North. They enacted into crime mere attempt of Feder al power to force its decrees within their dominions and because after decades of endurance as patent as it was delusive, sovereign parties of the South declined to accept, tiitir revolutionary will in permanent place of the constitution. A com pact between the sovereigns of the North, with members overwhelm ing and material unbounded nia.ie aggressive, war upon them to lo ve them to accept it. The world has been told that the people of the South made the war to perpetuate African slaver'. This is false. They did not create the institution, nor do they now wish to restore it. The principle for which we fought was the only principle of government expressive enough to meet the re quit enaent of advancing civilization, made of late by Gladstone's elo quence so familiar to European thought, was American born Red with blood of Confederate heroes, moist with tears of Confederate j widows and orphans, eastward shall it continue to roll carrying its blessed light of christian organization all around the globe and so surely as it moves it shall bring the day of final triumph. In that triumphant procession Abram Lincoln shall not move as the right ful President, but Jefferson Davis, of the so-called Lost Cause. We as Confederates can echo from our hearts the patriotic, cry ol Webster the great, "Thanks be to God that I, too am an American citizen," but if the so-called "in w South" be a base a surrender ot the oid as false, a confession meanly false of shame in our past, thame in our sires, 6hame in our dead, which none but th silliest fool can hon estly feel. then, with all of tha Dower eiven to us hv the God of truth we cry," Ayaunt, false South; ayaunt, rotten trunk upon cursed root, thy fruit must turn to ashes." The Celebration at Richmond. Bj Telegraph to the Asheville Citizen, Richmond. Oct. 27. The day opened gloomy and wet with no change in the condition of the weather lrom that whicn ha8 pre vailed for three day3 past. The heavy clouds which have overhung the city since Sunday night have given an almost incessent down pour of rain which remained un broken and threats .ing, and Rich mond's big day was ushered in with misty rain which fell steadiiy with no indication of cessation. Despite all thi3 however, the people of the city and many thousand visitors were early on the streets; and by nine o'clock the moving Jmultitude was so great that it was plainly evi' dent that Richmond's population for the day was as large and proba bly larger than on any previous oc casion. At an early hour the sound ot martial music was heard m every direction, and the military, mounted and on loot, could be seen moving to their various positions, prepara tory to the formation of the process sion- Mounted marshals and cou riers dashed hither and thither di recting the movements of the troops and arranging tho line of march. Before ten o'clock the rain had temporarily ceased, but. the clouds remained unbroken and threaten ing. The people however, seemed not to notice this but had appar entty made up their minds to carry out the programme of the day in full detail rain or shine. The visitine- military consisted of Uvo corps of cadets, one lrom the V irginia mili tary institute and the other from the Blacksburg agricultural and mechanical college, two regiments of Virginia infantry, three compa nies cavalry, four companies artil elery; also two companies o: infantry from North Carolina and one from Maryland. Besid'8 these the e are several camps of confederate veter ans from dulerent parts of the State, and six hundred veteran -i of the Maryland line. The latter ar rived here this morning, and their appearance on the streets with the Marine band of Washington at th;; head of the line, created considera ble interest, and they were every where greeted with enthusiasm. Four professors and fifty-five stu dents arrived this morning from Washington and Lee University. Gtu. R. E. Lee was at the time of his death president of the institu tion and was succeeded by his son Gen. G. W. Custis Lee, who is now president. Owing to the n cent ill ness of the latter he was unable to participate in to-day's ceremonies, but his bro'her, Gen. W. H. F. (properly known as "Rooney") Lee, and Captain Robt. E. Lee are here. Olhergtwo immediate members of the family are two daughters who are at present in Europe. At a fev.- minutes before eleven o'clock everything being in readi ness the procession began to move at the head of the line. After de tachments of mounted police, came the chief marshal of dav, Gen. Wade Hampton, riding side by sitie with Gov. i'ltzhugh Lee, both superbiv mounted. Then fol lowed the Governot's staff in bril' i-i r.t unifo-in ii'.e? asS'.-tj. i.t mar shals. r.exf. in success, y order came the Virginian Confederate vetl eran camps, veterans of the Mary land line, volunteer infantry of Virs ginia ana North Carolina, artillery, and then all the various civic organ izations embracing the grand lodge of Virginia Masons, two command eres of Knights Templar, Blue Lodge of Masons, Druids, Elks.Jun ior order of American mechanics, odd iellows. and other societies in- regalia. Ino whole macie such. a display as fins never before been seen in Richmond. Dense crowds ;::rked the sidewalks along the wlii'Mt-mute of march, and the en- thi:s:.!s:i, of th.; populace .was given vent to in almost incessant cheers to be but. iiicrcisd a some favorite or f.iiued org-ii:iz.ttit.:: passed bv. About the tioic the head of the pmci -si i'i re- i h'"i the western cor porate limits net; r the monument rounds a .steady drizzle commenced again and continued so that the pro gramme-was cut short by a post ponement of the reading of the poem and the delivery of the ora tion. The corner stone, However, was laid with ail impressive Masonic ceremonies, lhe oration will oe delivered and the poem read this evening in the hall of the House of Delegates. Notwithstanding the disagreeable weather and muddy condition of the gtounds and viein- Uy the vast field was almost cov ered with people, the multitude being estimated at from Iifteen to twenty thousand.

I'Br teleeraph to the Asheville Citizen. New York, 0 t. 27. The sub Treasury has now its representative in Canada in the person of Henry Jackson, its r aying teller. He has gone with exactly ten thousand dol lars of Uncle Sam's money, but there is this satisfaction for the Treasury oflicials Jackson might have taken nioe. He did not, how ever, have access to the vaults, as more stringent rules concerning ad mission to the vaults were made un der the present Assistant Treasurer. Jackson took the money, as Assist ant Treasurer Canda said to-day, on last Saturday, the day of his depart ure. His cash was carefully exam ined on the 13th inst., and found to be correct. On the 17th inst , when Jackson was absent through illnesH, Mr. Canda saidt his no.orM.'a.vrra again gone over and no deficit iounu. un Monday morning last the discovery was made anil meas ures were taken to intercept him, his default meanwhile being kept secret. Mr. Canda said to-day : "'I kno w no way that has been devised to prevent paying tellers in banks or omer institutions lrom taking pirt of the money necessarily com mitted to their charge, if they are dishonest Jackson was appointed . in 1870: and was recommended bv several of the most influential men m the city. He was previously in the National Currency Bank and other financial institutions of this city, occupying smaller salaried po sitions. When he was first appointed he wa3 promoted successively until he reached the position of paying teller at a salary of three thousand dollars per annum, under the pres ent Assistant Treasurer. He was a self-possessed and capable man." Jackson was not under bond, so Mr. Canda will have to bear the loss. Mr. Canda spoke jf a default of 818,500 under Assistant Treasurer Millhouse several vears :io show ing that this is not the first loss of the kind to the Treasurer. Personal. Mr. N. H. Frofclichstein, of Mobile, Ala., writes: I take great pleasure in recommending Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, bavins used it for a severe attack of Bronchitis and Catarrh.
