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.

One of the amendments of the liquor law in Maine reads thus: “If an expressman, cartrnan, porter, or any ocher person shall carry a bottle, 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.” and that he has no single feeling of hostili ty towards you in his bosom. The sugges tion was as frankly adopted and acted upon. 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 ed my ears, is truly stated. Such a recon ciliation is one which every biographer will delight to record. It was honorable to all the parties. But I have already exceeded my limits, and must reserve much more for other pages.

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.
