The writer is a Vjer and- tobacco dealer, add addressed his com Jaonicatioa to the Etchaiond Whig : nie"New Tobacco Law which hasbacn recent- :'?ised in the Whig, was passed, after four discussion of the bearings of the provis- , he producing interpsta.of the coantry, be- Committee of Waya and Meana. i -ve3 that jIass of tobacco which the-Siates ' . fci.nia.

S on page 48, and we will find that that no planter or farmer shall ( , 4ay any tax on the sale oF tobacco , ..i'owD production", or received by him as rent from tenants who have produced tBo same on his land." . VV;;M Should a planter, however, desire to .become a dealer i tobacco grown iby. others, ha has the same right that he had under tha eld law, and the same that any party in a"$ity has, by paying the specific tat of twenty -Siva dollars annually, Should a planter, tbweyer," desue to become a retail dealer m leaf tobacco (mark the distinction rrade in this law between a dealer in leaf and a retail dealer in same), or in other words, a peddier of leaf to consumers by the bundle or pound, then the new law fixes the penaly af.oOO' license, the necessity to keep a regular set of books, and 50 per cent ou all .sales over $1,000. ; Ilave the planters of Virginia ever engaged in such a business as peddling leaf tobacco? Do they w desire it? And if they'did, is there field for A:i where tobacco is' so Extensively grown and -every farm? No, il-r. EJiter, this provisiDn ' the law is aimed at the peddlers in le;if tobacco who take it to the remote South and North, where tobacco does not grow, -and .retail it over their -ounters, ' by the bundle and pound,' directly tc vjaauraers, thereby striking a severe blow at the ' manufacturers of the country, who, in the main, cc-titute that class which Qxes the market for the itets' leaf, and moreover strikes such a blow je revenue of the general Government, derived oin this source. It is against these evils, and not at the planting interest, that these pioviaions are aimed. ! I . ' ; . - ! I think the more Von examine the provisions of this bill, the more your valuable paper (ever the faithful guardian o the pla;nng and farming: in terests f the State) will havjto improve the sam3. - x ou will nnd under the workings o; its equita ble and just provisions thatjthe manufacturing in dustry f the State engaged in this great staple will be greatly stimulated, ensuring in; time, an enhanced remuneration to tjne planter for his leaf, an extension of the;cultirat(on of the plant, and a great improvemeat of its grade. . Take the effect of the new, law in conjunctioa with the increased facilities it be furnished by the completion of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad to the manufacturers of the great West, who will wantevery pound of fine black and bright wrap pers which can be spared by the Virginia manufac turers; and we may predict at no' distant day for this peculiar growth of ouij State a monopoly of the wrappers; constituting Virginia. the wrapper- growing State of the Union leaving to Kentucky and the We9t the growth of tho lower grades for fillers which will result in the recovery, in great measure, of her ancient supremacy oyer the tobac co trade lost by the war, and will add 50 per cent t the price of her staple. These are some of the hopes indulged in by one who would not willingly, sees this great planting interest injured in any way, but looking on it as, being in the future what it has beea in the past, the basis of Virginia prosperityi - W.

TOOMBS'S "'..FIRST. AND SECOND vciio Every day there are leading Southern men who corhe - before tho public in speeches or letters, Accepting the situa- tion crehted by the war, the constitution al amendments, and the subsequent so cial "'changes, and earnestly desiring a restoration of normal and legal govern ment a?s:a means ot restoring the long- disturbeid tranquility and harmony- a- mon tlie States. But as these utteran ces invariably conclude with 1 some ex pression, favorable to the election of Messrs. Greeley and Brown, they are nev er allowed to appear in the columns of those papers which seem to consider themselves the;personal property of Gen . Grant.- ilf the matter ia of such sizual publicity as to compel notice, it is made the subject of ja denunciation of rebels, and of any man whom rebels will vote tor.: Opce in; a while, however, some eccentric southerner, who did not do fighting! enough while the warlasted"to get tired of it, and who rather relishes the present state of dormant war, lashes out against the Liberal candidates, whose election js to herald the incoming of a genuine 'peace. In, all such cases the Giant papers greedily published these effusions! with eager delight, j A rebel who tanks'-his back on the past, and de termines; to make'the best of the present and tho future, who has still a decent pride of country, and magnanimity enougu to desire tme general gooa, is regarded as an outlaw by the papers which derive 1 their inspiration from Washington ; 'while we, have nothing but hospitality and praise for one who pretend8j to cherish an undying hatred for. the -flag and his fellow-citizens, and consequently repudiates the efforts now making through, the Cincinnati move ment to jteconcue all sectional differen ces land 4ut an end to the military gov ernment of tho South. ! The last and most important accesssion to these j irreconcilables is Mr. Robert Toombs 6f Georgia. He recently made a speech In Atlanta in which he abused with admirable impartiality both Mr. Qreelev and- Gen. Grant: devoting how- ever mQgt of his rhetoric to the former as tue mp8(; likely t0 bo elected. The rea sons assigned tor his preference of Grant are unique and such as we would com mend .to the meditation of Grant papers and journals of civilization. Grants a soldier-! a sort of fool ; but he loves his friends and 6hcks to his kith and kin.

We sLonld be glad if his affection for the first rested on no surer foundation, than his objection to the last.

His most loyal allegi' ance is due to another potentate. jHe says : "I would support the dqvil ia pre ference to either of thoui, because;when you support the deyil you support a very respectable antagonist. He ia not a cow ard. He fought God Almighty a ' very respectable fight till now," As this sul phurous personage is the first choice of Mr. Toombs and naturally enough, con sidering the work of war and unending discord he wishes to accomplish there is nothing surprising in tho fact- that his second choice for this work should be Gen. Grant and not Mr. Greeley. Only it is a little odd that the household pa pers should be bragging about it. xY. Y. Tribune.. : From the Daily Newl.
