They are preparing now a large lot for

poisonous, and so it is when eaten in the

resolution, which was adopted:;
Whereas, The excessive far iff levied
by the Western Union Telegraph Co.
upon all dispatches sent an 1 received
through their office and over their lines,
to and from Wilmington, for many years
past, have been enormous and oppressive
to a degree that has retarded business,
not only in our city, but throughout the
whole South; and, whereas, the great
monopoly Star-chamber the Western
Union Telegraph Company, have repeat
edly refused to lessen the burdensome
rates upon our business men, tc. there
fore, be it
Ordered, That the telegraph business
of the city government be tendered to the
American Union Telegraph Company for
a term of five ye&rs to all points reached
by their lines; provided, that they extend
their lines to Wilmington within one
year, and establish a rate not. lass than
20 per cent, under the present rate ef the

that all were excessive, and en motion of .
Alderman Myers the report was received

omiultted o Jail.
y James Henderson, the same individual
who was arraigned yesterday before the
Mayor, charged with forcing a lock in the
Market House on Sunday morning, and
whose cse was continued until to-day,
Wa this morning by order of. Mayor
Fishblate delivered over to a trial Justice
for arraignnie It ufon.the abn'e named
chire. Iho 'ic-:eiidaiit wai committed
to jail in default of eurety for his appear
ance at 10 o'clock to-morrow morning,
at which time a preliminary investigation
will be had before the Magistrate who
committed him.
In a Bis Hurry.
We think that the Board of
Aldermen were in too big a hurry last
night in adopting the resolution offered
by Alderman Foster, denouncing the
Western Union Company and endorsing
Jay Gould's new scheme, the 'American
Union Telegraph Company.' "We don't
know how far South the lines of the new
company have yet extended, probably not
farther than Courtlandt street ferry, on
the New York side, but wo do not doubt
that the magnificent inducement held out
to them in the.r solution will work wond
ers. By actual investigation ithas been as
certained that 'the telegraph business of
the.city government during the last five
years, has been worth just about $5, or
$1 a year. In that time the Western Un
ion Company have paid into the city
Treasury some $3,000.

Fine Tobacco.
We have received several samples of
tobacco raised in Sampson county, 8 miles
from Clinton, on the plantations of Co).
John D. Ashford and Mr. James Stevens.
The samples were selected from a field of
38 acres, and are about an avrae of the
entire crop. It was cultivated by a prac
tical tobacco farmer from the upper portion
of the State, and from our limited knowl
edge of the unmanufactured article, we
Should pronounce it very fine.
Tobacco is undoubtedly the most profit
able crop which can be produced In the
State, all things considered, and we believe
there are thousands of acres in this Eastern
section which might be mado to produce
as abundantly and as fine a quality as
those counties which have hitherto been
its principal places of cultivation. We
hope to see this branch of agricultural in
dustry more extensively operated in this
section, being very positive that i5 will
prove more remunerative to the producer
than anything else. Let every farmer en-
deayor to raise his own meat and bread,
and then cultivate tobacco, instead of cot
ton, and fanning will be fjuad to be moie
profitable by the change.
