Oct. 8, I860. o9.tf do present to the eye of a foreigner indubitable evidence that the weed is popular in this country. Still, we find that the other nations are glad tore- • ceive a larf^e portion of our product. The value of our exports for 1847 was 87,000,000; for 1852 i 810,000,000; and for 1859 $21,000,000; of which ‘ Great Britain received her due share. The in creasing figures show, too, that the consumption in foreign countries is increasing far beyond the growth of the population. While opium is used by 400,000,000 of people, it is estimated that to bacco is used by twice that number. Every nation has its peculiar weaknesses, which appear foolish and inexcusable to others. The opium, to procure which the Asiatic will sacri fice his fortune aud health, we condemn without qualification, and at the same time surrender our selves as slaves to an herb pronounced by our cy clopedias to be “bitter, acrid, and poisonous.” It is cultivated to a very large extent in this coun try. The census of ISol)" gives a total of about 20u,00u,000 pounds. It is estimated that the value of tobacco now consumed here (including imported cigars) amounts to 825,000,000. Of this the greater part is not eaten, as our English man intimates, but smoked. This habit is a relic of the barbarism of the North American Indians; and yet since the voyages of Columbus made known the practice to Europeans, it has become so prevalent as to be considered “brave, polite and wise.” Raleigh smoked to gratify the cu riosity of‘‘good Queen Bess.” Old Dr. Johnson smoked from a more selfish motive. It is said, too, that the good natured Goldsmith whiffed at his pipe like a true Irishman; that the great Milton, before retiring, soothed his nerves with the vapors of tobacco, and that the philosophic Newton was wreathed with smoke while reflect ing on the fall of the apple. But there are distinguished authorities on the other side. Honest Burton, in his “Anatomy of Melancholy,” says of it:—“A good vomit, I con fess; a virtuous herb if it be well qualified, opportunely taken, and medicinally used, but as it is commonly abused by most men, which take it as tinkers do ale, 'tis a plague, a mischief, a violent purger of goods, lands, health; divelish to bacco, the ruine and overthrow of body and soul.” Lord Bacon says:—“Tobacco smoking is a secret delight, serving only to steal away men’s brains;” and Lord Palmerston is so assured of the thrift lessness of the habit that he says to his constitu ents:—“Avoid the public house as much as you can, but always steer clear of the tobacco shop.” John Quincy Adams asserts that the “abandon ment of the use of tobacco would add five years to the average of human life.” Punch, in the profundity of his wisdom, has discovered that “no other animal but man smokes;” although the statement may need seme qualification, as a per son in England is reported to have taught the practice to his monkey. But what say the chemist and the medical man? We are told that tobacco consists principally of a volatile oil, a volatile alkali and an empyreumatic oil. The first is the principal cause of the odor, and when taken internally produces giddiness, nausea and , vomiting. The second is nicotine, aud is an acrid, burning, narcotic poison, of which a single drop (let smokers and chewers stand aghast) is sufficient to kill a dog; it? proportion is variable, but on an average seven pounds are found in every hundred pounds of dry leaf. A thread saturated with the oil and passed through the flesh of an animal, killed it in seven minutes; two drops placed on the tongue of a cat, provep filial in fifteen minutes. That similar effects it ay be produced by the plant, without any concentra tion of its power by the chemist, 's proved by the fact that the Indians forme»-ly poisoned their arrow heads with a decoction of tobacco, and that sol diers in the U. S. army have secured leave of ab sence from duty by wearing tobacco under their arms,—in that way causing serious symptoms of illness. An Oxford student, whose evening amuse ment had been pipe-coloring, was even attacked with delirium tremens. If heeded, the penalties inflicted by Nature, would prove an efi'ectual interdict to the use of this most fascinating of all herbs. y. Jo^irnal of Commerce. A WA.l^TEO.

The Undersigned having d.iring the past sumnior heard many express a wish that a monument should be placed over tlie grave of Rev. L*r. Mitchell, upon ■ the High Peak of the Black Mountain, and regret tliat it had not already been done, has determined to give ; his personal attention to the matter, and trusts that, by the aid of the thousands of pupils and friends of that i veneriiljle m.an. he may be enabled to erect it. [ The undersigned proposes to erect a plain, substan tial structure, with the rock found on the spot, and to build it in such a manner that it may also be used as an Observatory. He pledges himself to all contributors that uo pains shall be spared upon his part to have the structure tirm, and a fit monument to one. whose moral, intellectual and physical character, was so fit a simile lo the granite on which his body rests. The undersigned will give his personal attention to the work, and trusts j tha» his knowledge of the country and its people will enable him to have it constructed as cheaply as ia pos- , sible to have it done by any one else. ; Means will be taken to preserve the names of those who contribute. The undersigned is determined that tl»e monument shall be erected if any amount near suf ficient is obtained. Kemp P. Battle. Esq., of Raleigh, will receive con tributions, and Messrs. Litchford and Finch, reporters in the House and Senate of the Legislature will receive any contributions from members of those bodies. Let ters addressed to me containing contributions will be nromrily acknowledged. HENRY E. COLTON. Wilmington, N. C. lncreu!‘f’ of the. Slave Fupulation.—The re turns (»f the national census show a very material growth of the slave population during the hist decade—a growth, indeed, which iiuy .-urprise many who :-u|ipused that slavery was dtMhuin>; under thepressareot'abolition propa.;andi.sin, viru lent denutic’ation aud tanaticil raids. In every Southern .State, oxci'pt iJclaware, -Maryland and Mis-ouri, the increase ot the slave population has been nearly in the .same ratio as that ot the iree population, white and colored; and in the aggre gate the growth of the slave ftopulation in the titteen Southern States has kept pace with that of the whole population of the L nited States— that is to say, it shows an increase oi about thirty per cent, in ten years. And very curiously even in Missouri—surrounded on three sides by free States—where we were told that slavery was rapidly dying out, the number of slaves has in creased from 87,42‘i in 1850, to 115,619 in the year 1860, and this too, with abandant opportuni ty of running them off, and a very great loss from this cause. So much for the decadence of slave ry.— Petersburg Express. Warlike Feeling in Europe.—By the Canada’s mails, which left Liverpool via Queenstown on the 27th ult., we learn that the warlike feeling throughout Europe continues unabated. France is making extensive military preparations, and a Paris correspondent writes that Napoleon III is preparing for any emergency that may arise, whether growing ^t of the adjustment of Euro pean affairs or the settlement of American diffi culties. 14 i^tarkie on Evidence, Vol. 1 Hew Edition, with Notei and References, by Sharewoqd.
