Messrs. Editors:—Permit me through
your interesting paper, to call the attention
of the citizens of Morgan co., to the im
provements now under way by Dr. Elijah
E. Jones, at his plantation, on Hard Labor
creek. The creek runs nearly three miles
through his land and furnishes about 300
acres of most valuable bottom land. With
immense labor, he commenced at the lower
end of the creek, near Dougla’s Bridge, and
made a canal about one mile long, which
carries off the waters of the creek. He has
cleared up about 150 acres of most superior
bottom land. It now presents one of the
most interesting sights in our country, and
will be much more interesting as the crop
on it progresses. It will well repay a visi
tor to view it, and is most creditable to the
skill, industry and preseverance of the doc
tor, who has facetiously named it after the
fertilizing Island of the Pacific, as he thinks
he can make a plenty of corn without bay
ing any guano. He intends clearing up the
whole bottom, and will carry his canal all
the way. He expects to clear a large field
and courtesy, good will, liberality and kind
ness of heart, which have won for him
friendly mention whenever liis name is spo
ken. McDuffiie happened to be in Augusta,
and in a state of exhaustion, for he was ap

One of the amendments of the liquor
law in Maine reads thus:
“If an expressman, cartrnan, porter, or

cask, or demijohn of wine or other liquors
to a gentleman’s residence, he is subject to
i a fine of twenty dollars and costs for the
first offence. For the second offence, a fine
and cost-and thirty days’ imprisonment is
the penalty. If any man carries in his own
baggage, or about his person, a flask, or any
other vessel, containing liquor of any sort,
to be used by him, the party doing so is
made lhv ■ to a fine of thirty dollars and
thirty dn> ’ imprisonment.”

The parties met as* if they had never been
enemies. Cummings sat an hour with his
prostrate rival, left him with the most ami
cable interchange of feeling, and the tear
was in his eye as he said to Bones, on his
departure, “What would I not do or give
to relieve him from this cruel suffering !”
It was one which his own hand had inflict
ed, and he bitterly regretted the shot. I do
not know that I give you the actual words
which were used in the quoted portion of
my statement, but the substance as it reach

Pecuniary Value of New York Jour
nals.—“Pink,” the well informed corres
pondent of the Charleston Courier, writes
the following concerning the wealth of the
newspaper press -of Gotham:
The Herald is regarded as the best pay
ing, its net profits during the year 1854
having been $80,000, as I am authentically
informed. The establishment is estimated
to he worth 8500,000. Next comes the Tri
bune, which is a stock company, consisting
of 300 shares, the original par value of
which was $1000 each. They are now val
ued at $3000, and have been sold higher.—
It is valued at $400,000.
’The Journal of Commerce is a large own
er of Wall street property, aud may be safe
ly set down at $275,000, while the Courier
& Enquirer is estimated at $200,000. The
Sun has not been so valuable since its origi
nal proprietor—M. S. Beach—sold it out.—
It was then bought in by a company of
printers and editors, paying for it $300,000.
The Daily Times is valued at $150,000; the
Commercial Advertiser, $125,000; and the
Evening Post, $60,000.
The Express is worth about $40,000; the
Evening Mirror $30,000; the Daily News,
formerly National Democrat, under its new
management, $12,000, and the Dag Book
$6000. Only tree of tho foreign papers are
regarded as very lucrative. The Staats
Zeitung has an immense circulation, and is
estimated at $45,000; the Courier des Etals
Unis at $18,000, and Dcr Democrat at $15,-
000. The aggregate value of the daily,
weekly and monthly publication establish
ments, if fairly estimated, would exhibit a
colossal interest almost rivaling that of the
liquor trade.
Too MuoH of a Good Thing.
A Canada paper in noticing the nume
rous arrivals of fugitive slaves—as many as
eighteen having crossed the river at Detroit
in one day—expresses the fear that “they
are coming too fast for the good of the Pro
vince. People may talk about the hor
rors of slavery as much as they choose, but
fugitive slaves are, by no means, a desirable
class of immigrants for Canada.”
We have long believed that it might pos
sibly be the best way to prevent the admis
sion of “fugitives from labor” into the free
States for the South to give a freedom of
passage to all slaves wishing to go North—
on condition, however, that none crossing
the border should ever he allowed to return.
How long would it then be before Pennsyl
vania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, would
meet the refugees with just such an interdict
as repelled John Randolph’s freedmen when
seeking a settlement in the North West.—
There is a great deal of fallen humanity
among the abolitionists as well as other
people, and we imagine that negro stealing
and negro harboring would be bereft of its
greatestcharm, if the idea should get abroad
that no real injury was done thereby to the
master : and that perhaps they themselves
might be brought to suffer somewhat from
the accumulation of these species of popula
tion in their midst.—Journal d> Courier.
