Near this’ lake, and, Mindoo!, about all the great iakea is found kind ef willow, termed y the French, Deis rouge; tn Enghish, redwood. z k, when only of one yoar's growth, is’of # fine scarlet color, and appears very beau tiful; bot as it grows olaer i grows into a mixture of gray andred. The stalks ot this grow many of them to- apd rige to the fap of Firr and elgas feet, the ch ip diameter. The bar ried and powdered, is also mixed by Indians with their todacco, and ts heid by them ip he highest estimation for their winter smok- jug. A weed whico grows near the great lakes, in rooky places, they use in the summer seazon. It is called by ‘the Indians “seqochmac,” avd cree, e & vine on the ound, sometimes extending to eij 1d ten feet, and ‘pg & leaf abeut the size of a silver penny, nearly round; it is of the substance and color of the laurel, aud is, like the tree it resembles, an evergreen. These leaves ¢ried and powdered they likewise mix with their tobacco, , a8 Said before, smoke it only during summer. By Sere succedaneums the pipes of the Indians are well sup- plied through every season of the year; and aa Una are are at NY or forth America, ‘. 1766 to 1768. London, 1781. New York, Harper Bros., 1838, p. 40.] It is likely many plants and shrubs exist in America which might advantageously prove more innocent in their ‘ase than tobacco, were their virtues properly tested. ‘The writer of this, when travelling among the Chippe- ‘was of Lake Superior, in 1845, employed some Indian woyagers, who, when tobacco became scarce, would cut some sticks from an aromatic shrub, abous half an inch 4a diameter, and two or three feet in length, and with a Bmooth, green colored bark. These sticks they would scrape, raising the bark from one end towards the other, Jeaving them hanging loose. The naked end of the sticks they would force in the ground near the fire. ‘The peeled bark, by thus being exposed to the fire, would ‘become dry and crisp, when they would rub it intoa Coarse powder, and smoke it im their pipes. They called the shrub ‘‘chini-kimic.”” ‘The true plant of tobacco, so universally used for emok- ing, snuffing and chewing, has been known toall the tribes ‘of American Indians from the earliest knowledge of the race. Their pipes, of every available material, and ine great variety of forms, are found among their remains all ver the continent, and are dug from the most ancient mounds. Tobacco bears different names with different Indian tribes. The Chippewas call ii “‘somau,’’ while the Sioaxs call it sbawsassaw.”” The Chippewas cal! a pipe“ poagan,”” and the Sioux call is “abanuapiw,” and the pipe of peace “ Shaouapaw-Wakon,”” and smoke “ Sbaweab.”” ‘The use of tobacco in Korope was not kmown until the @iscovery of America. It has been claimed that She tobacco derived its mame from the island of To ago, from whence it has been alleged that the plant was carried to Spain and Portugal by Hernandez de Toledo. Bubdsequent researches have led to the belief thatthe Island of Tobago was named after the plant, and not the plant after the island, A writer in the Athenowm, Augast, 2067, remarks as follows: — Tt = doubtful what was called “ tobacco’’ by the In- @ians (of tbe Spanish West Iodia Islands), the act of wmoking, (according to Oviedo.) or the pipe, or the ieat, to otbers,) pay, some even referred to the p it produced—all which Oriedo denies, aud insists that it ie the act of emoking. “Usavan los’ Indios desta (qu os tomar wnat ahumadas jue ellos amen tabaco para ir de oni *y noala yerva © sueno que les toma, algunos.” The ‘lodiahe imbibed smoke “Greegh ® biforked tube like the let- ter Y, placing oper ends in their nostrils ad the lower on the burning loaves of tobacco, They the same instrament for inhaling snuff. This act of wmoking, the Indians called tobac, or tobaser, which bo- ame a fixed name for the i. eee i from Lisbon, and presented gome of them to Qoern Ca ‘harine de Medicis, and another portion to the Graod Prior of the House of Lorraine. It was said Qacen Catha- rine de Medicis was auxious that her name should be given to the new plant. - to lash her presumption ia a ferce epigram, concluding ‘with Nectar enim flet, panacea yenepum Modicea si vocabitur. Notwithstanding the attempts to introdece new nam», ‘that of tobacco bas become universal, and we fiad its synonyms in all languages, savage and civilized.

Sir Wolter Long, of Drayoot, the intimate friend of Raleigh, gi 70" the credit of introducing the wre of tobacco into Nogiand, and which be himeelf introduced into the north of Wilts, A contemporary author of Raleigh—Henry Buties—tm 2099, gives the honor ‘© Raleigh, im fibeflollowing style:— appointed by King James to be his rigorous and rigid Prison keeper. From the following passage, it will be seen that the mind of this great and noble man was recon- ciled to his crue! and inhuman treatment, whose life was sacrificed to appease Spanish hate and the bigotry of an imbecile king. His room is described as having only two small windows, and the same which had been oscupied by Ierd Cobbam. Sir Thomas, his jailor, in his letter to James’ Secretary of State, says of Raleigh: —I have had but little speech yet with him, Mr. Lieutenant telling him that I was appcinted to take charge of him.” He answered that I was welcome, and said, ‘Let the King doe even what he will with me, fer never man was more desirous to die.” Sir Thomas also saysthat he com Plained that he was sick of a rupture and swalling on his left side, and for that reason he was visited often by an apothecary and surgeon, who administered to his wauta, and wisbed to know if their visits should be allowed or discontinued. Was ever a noble mind and great genius "so treated before? His public execution a short time af- terwards put an end to his sorrows, but left an indelible stain upon the King and the English nation. Thus was & great man sacrificed mainly beause he had hemmed in or arrested Spanish empire in America, by confining its sway to Florida and to regions south of it. Volumes have been written, both against and in defence of tobacco, and up to the present time the controversy is still waged. While there cannot exist a doubt that its use, in nearly all cases, is unnecessary to health end lon- gevity, yet ite prudent enjoyment, more esecially in smoking, cannot be considered prejudicial to either. Like spirits and many other stimulants, tho injury lies in tho excessive use or abuse of the article; and ag this is apt to occur with most devotees, the safest course to pursue is where good health can be maintained by the use of water and food alone, combined with exercise, to let all artificial excitements alone. Neither chew, snuff, emoke, nor arink liquor. We have no space to pursue this branch of the subject further. THE PRODUCTION OF BOBACCO IN THE UNITED STATES. According to the national census of 1850 the number of tobacco estates in the Southern States of the Union, raising 3,000 pounds each, was 15,745. The total number of acres devoted t) the cultivation of tobacco in the Union was 400,000, and the total product for 1850 was about 200,000,000 pounds, against 219,000,000 in 1840, of the value of $14,000,000, The averages yicld per acre in the States named were as follows: — 660 Ubio (protably me 775 by census for North 650 Carolina), 730 By this statement it will be seen that Missouri possesses the most productive tobacco Iands in the Uaited States, and that Tennessee is next to her in this respect.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. MONEY MARKET. Sarorpay, June 26—6 P, M. Quotations for stocks current to-day show a pretty gene- ral decline compared with the closing prices of yesterday. There was a very limited business and no activity in any fancy except Reading. At the first Board Missouri State sixes fell off 44 per cent; Delaware and Hudson, %; Erie, ; Chicago and Rock Island, *{; Milwaukie and Mississippi, ; Michigan Southern, old, 3; Cleveland and La Crosse land grant bonds advanced * per cent, selling at 34 per cent cash. The opening prices of the board this morning were not sustained to tho close, and the decline in some of the lowest fancies was to nome extent. Reading opened at 4434 per cent and sold down to 4334, in the face of all the efforts of the Philadelphia clique to sustain it. The oppressive weather was calcu- lated to depress the market, and probably had some effect, ‘but apart from this there are causes for depreesion. There are no buyers of stocks beyond the regular street specula tors, and they do not want any more of the faacies halfso much asa dog wants two tails. They occupy an unfortu- nate poeition just now, and have just about as much as they can stegger under this hot weather. There was no second board to-day. After the first board the market was lower and most of the stocks were offered at a de- cline.
