Our readers are acquainted with the practical re sults of: emancipation in the British West India Islands, and, in particular, with the various abortive pg Seat are been mado fc eubebiape hew classes of indent orers from the Indies for the diberated blacks, who do not come u “tations Seay indulged in re; Coolie system roved a failure, both in the Islands and on the Muin; the Coolies proving, from the first inefficient, and of late, in some instances re- ‘fractory—as in Demerara, where the Governor re- cently found it necessary to resort to strict measures to quell # riotous spirit manifested bythem. Neither the Chinese emigration seem to answer, as the money attending their introduction is very great. i pea entanner, recently axrived at Guiana, from China, with 290 souls, 40 died on the voyage, and of 138 by the Lord Elgin..¢8 fell a prey to dysentery. ‘This wretehed beginniug, it is feared, will continue ‘to attend the transportation of these people; and that +@ larger amount of deuths may be expected during the season of acclimation to Lblan eiety emigrants. ‘The latest and most favorable me of the British bverpment, for the procuring of foreign laborers to their colonies, is a large supply of native Africans of the Kroo or Crew tribe. 4 From the information which we have obtained, it ‘appears that the new plan embraces these particu- lars—viz.: that Messrs. Hyde, Hodge & Co., of Lon- -don, have contracted with the Court of Polic' British Guiana, to,couvey 15,000 laborers from West. Africa to that colony, commencing from the first of July last, on the following terms:—First, Messrs. Hyde & Co. are authorized to hire laborers, under indenture, for British Guiana, for three years, at an average of ten pence for each day’s work; with a claim to-a return passage, after an industrial resi- -dence of such duration as may be agreed upon, with mission to Messrs. Hyde & Co. to advance them Bs months’ wages, it ‘necessary. Secondly, that Mesars. Hyde & Co. are to be paid in London by her Majesty's commissioners, for each adult of ten'years and upwards, male or female, landed in British Guiana from the Kroo Coast, £7, and for children, £3 10s.; and for any sent back to the Kroo Coast, £4 10s. for adults, £2 5s. for children. Thirdly, they are to be repaid the advances made to the immigrants on the production of certificates ; and, fourthly, the contract to continue for five years, and Messrs. Hyde &' Co. to import during that jod 15,000 “Atricans. It is also understood that the same par- ties have made a similar proposition to a legislative committee of Jamaica, to introduce into that island an equal number of Kroomen, and that this same committee is in sorrespondence with the authorities of the colony relative thereto. These people (the Kroos) are scattered over almost the entire west coast of Africa. They are the watermen and sailors of the naval and merchant vessels visiting that portion of Africa, and are a hardy, industrious peonle, noted for great love of country. Competent judges estimate their entire population not to exceed 30,000, of both sexes, and all - Beveril experimental trips to induce these Beople to emigrate, conducted under the authority ot the British government, have invariably proved complete failures. Free laborers, in the proper sense of the term, could not be found; and beyond this, it was discovered that the greatest disinclination was mani- fested by the Kroo chiefs, or headmen, te allow their eople te emigrate, because those who had previous- ly been permitted to go to Guiana, on the condition of their return within a specified period, had not been returned. The Kroomen are under the authori- ty of chiefs, and dure not act independently of their will. They cannot ieave the country, or even shi themselves on board any vessel for a short period, without the ission or appointment of the headmea, who “receive in advance,” from those anxious to secure their services, “two months’ wages ;” and on their return, for that forms a ne- eesgary part of the stipulated agreement, these headmen “take their earnings as an equivalent, probably,” it is said, ‘for the debts of the family,” contracted, it is presumed, during their absence. ‘There were sev roomen examined on the west eoast of Africa in 1847, from whose evidence we gather thather that “{f the king has a small dash, or present, he will let the people go;”’ but if they re- fused, ‘“‘he would make them like to go.” In fact, the Kroomen have no liberty of choice in the matter, and therefore to regard them as a people capable of entering voluntarily into any labor contract is to oppose all the evidence which has been collected on the important point. inthe year 1844 Mr. Butts, an emigrant agent from British Guiana, visited the Kroo coast on a visit of inquiry; and from his report it appears that all emigration must be conducted through the chiefs; that nothing can be dove without them; and that so absolute was'their authority that “the mandate of a chief would stop emigration at once, from any par or portion of his tribe.” This fact is corroborated by the report of Mr. T. C. Bagot, another Guiana agent, who visited the coast in 1546. In 1847-"48 the coast was again visited by Mr. Hamilton, an agent ot the goverpment. At Great Neffou, he says, he held a ‘‘ grand pala- ver.” “The burden of the discussion was the want of a dash, or present, in money or goods, and the expression of surprise that the white Queen had never sent his sable majesty a present, by any of the ves. sels which had called at Neffou for emigrants, and, as we had not presented ourselves with presents, we might return on board our ship.” “ This,” Hamilton, ‘was both explicit and decisive. Kroomen were not to be obtained without money or goods in exchange. The same fact appears on the face of the report of Mr. Fisher, another Govern- ment agent, specially appointed, in 1850, to visit the eoast to procure emigrants, though, unlike his prede- cessor, he was well provided with presents to concili- ate the chiefs. In the official report, printed a few months ago, of this transaction, it is said :— “Nothing could exceed the exertions of Mr. Fisher, or the liberality with which presents were made to va- tious chiefs, or the patience and perseverance with which it was endeavored to render the scheme suc- cessful, and yet it failed altogether.’ This failure is accounted for by the Surgeon-Superintendent, Mr. McCrea, who accompanied Mr. Fisher in the expedi- tion, and is worthy of special attention. He says that the chiefs who came on board their vessel at Neffou, “ told us it would be folly on our Naples at- tempt anchoring, as they would not permit a single man to emigrate, giving the same reasons for their hostility to emigration which had been alleged in other places;’’ namely “that the people they had permitted to go to Guiana, a few years before, had not been brought back, ‘according to promise.’ And such,” Mr.M’Crea says, ‘is the result that must al- ways acerue from breach of faith with the African race.’ - Putting these things together, it is clear that the Kroo chiefs will not permit their people to leave the country, without receiving, first, a dash, or present, representing portion of their wages; secondly, that they expect to derive considerable profit “from them, out of the wages they may have received during their absence —an easy and profitable mode of dealing in the labor of their people; and far more advantageous than the ordinary slave-trading transactions; and, thirdly, that they trust to the honor of those with whom they en- ter into arrangements, to enable them to reap the full benefit of their contracts. It will be seen throughout the whole of the agent's roports, that the parties with whom they invariably put themselves in communication were the chiefs,and not the people; and they always assumed the right of these chiefs to control their movements. To dig- nify such a mode of obtaining emigrants as free, is a delusion and a Sele g Even allowing were the greatest precautions taken, it is impossible to conceive that the Kroo people could be made to understand in their own country the nature of a contract, the character or the amount of labor they may be called upon to perform, the Jaws or regulations to which they may be subjugated, or the relative value of the money they will be paid for their services. Ignorant of the language of the colony to which they may be taken, unused to the customs of the people among whom they will be thrown, they will be reduced to a state of semi- slavery. Notwithstanding the unfavorableness, for the pur- pose intended, of the repeated and unsuccessful efforts made, the last arrival from Liberia farnishes the intelligence that the contractors are actually en- aged endeavoring to fulfil their contracts, and it is red, without regard to the rights and feelings of the: poor, inoffensive, and really worthy people, whom it is thus intended to transform practically into slaves. §&To induce and secure emigration, Messrs. Hyde & Co. have offered an advance of ten dollars for every laborer who can be induced to emigrate thence to the British colonies. This advance, it is believed, will have the effect of reviving the slave trade. As it is, some of the rebellious native chiefs who refuse to submit to the Liberian government are reported to have engaged with the British agents in question, to furnish a number of laborers for the West India colonies; and these honest sub-contractors are known to have lately made a number of captives by predatory incursions, whom they have collected in barracoons near (rand Cape Mount. {t is not astonishing, in view of these tacts, to hear that com- aint has been lodged with the President of Liberia that these poor wretches are to be sent off without their own consent—just as slaves are to Cuba or Brasil. The President of Liberia has acted in a proper manner in this juncture. He has issued his procla+ mation, directing that, in order to prevent abuses, the vemels carrying, or intending to carry away emi- grants, shall first proceed to Monrovia with their pas- to the expec- to them.

Tale of Awful Crime—Fiendish Cruelty, [Correspondence of the Plain Dealer.) Mackinac, June, 1853. I send you the result of a preliminary examination had at Grand Traverse, a newly organized county formerly attached to Michilimackinac, for judicial urposes, in the matter of the people against 0. P. anehano, charged with murder, rape, and assaults without number. The annals of crime have rarely presented a more cold blooded and vindictive series of atrocities; and were the more direct evidences not amply corroborated by such an array of damning circumstances, one might well doubt if the revolting narrative could find even a foundation infact. It sreatey that yppeacn had formerly been a teacher of the common schools at Mackinac, but by various little tyrannies, and an occasional outbreak of more or less brutality, had so far estranged his patrons and excited the indignation of the community, that he found it convenient to change the scene of his edu- cational labors. For this purpose, he selected Grand Traverse, on Lake Michigan, where his conduct might be less open to scrutiny or condemnation. Amongst others, his own sister had left her three young children to be housed and instructed by this unnatural relative. For months, as it spreeree by the testimony of witnesses, he had pursued a system of ruthless cruelty towards these unoffending little ones, by starvation, burnings, and other chastise- ments of the most eeveen description. For days he would furnish them with an ear of corn to te eaten from the cob with the swine. And after a day's labor, he would flog and bruise their bodies to aid digestion, and then send them shivering and supperiess to their beds. Thus these unfortunates soon became objects of public attention and commis- eration. Their features, pale and wan, their frames dwarfed and attenuated, their looks and gestures cowering and evasive—all told of some home mys- tery, that a few weeks was doomed to unravel. Suddenly one of the children, a lad of about eight years, died and was buried. The villagers, suspect- ing foul play, appointed a committee of investiga- tion, and removed the other children from under bis care. The history of their unexampled sufferings was now brought to light. Unawed by the imme- diate presence of their tormentor, and his threats of further cruelties and death, they told of long nights of bitter cold and darkness, of blows, kicks, pinches, bruises, of roastings on the back, hips, and under the armpits; and of the gnawings of hunger, almost ter- minating their wretched lives. They exhibited their emaciated bodies, scorched and excoriated, in proof of their statements, and spoke of their little brother in the grave, who had only escaped further cruelties in death. Hughson had remained, in the meantime, at Grand Traverse, shunned and forsaken, but evi- dently suspicious and alarmed. He even ventured upon the desperate experiment of inviting a meeting of the citizens to ee into his conduct and listen to his explanations. But his effrontery could not abide the test. Inthe evening of that ‘day he suddenly disappeered, carrying with him a portion of a slaughtered hog, which he had killed and quartered with an axe; and in this plight he started in mid-winter to accomplish a journey of several hun- dred miles, through snows and rivers, and the un- tamed forest. His next appearance was in company of officer Tyler, of Detroit, who brought him in irons to Mackinac about the end of May last, and eventu- ally lodged him with the sheriff of Grand Traverse county. “ After Hughson’s escape from the latter place, the body of the murdered boy was exhumed, a jury of inquest summoned, and a carerul post mortem exami- nation held. It resulted in an exhibition of the still untainted body, frightfully bruised and blackened with licks and blows, and in a verdict, from the opinion of skillful physician, that death had un- doubtedly been occasioned by cruel treatment, long continued and divers severe bruises inflicted a few hours before death. So ended the tragedy, at least for the present. It appeared moreover that this fiend in human form had luin with his little niece, a child of above twelve years of age, and attempted to accomplish his horri- le purpose, partly by promises calculated to allure unsuspecting childhood, and by threats in case of re- fasal or exposure, of torture by fire, and a bloody death. Hughson’s sister, the mother of the children, had arrived in Mackinac, on her way to the Tra- verse, but resolutely persisted in her refusal te be seen by him. His wife, also, a delicate and intelli- ‘ent woman, was a principal witness against him. he told, in a simple tale, of her constant fear that her husband would murder her; and that ever since her unlucky marriage he had continued to abuse her by threats, starvation and blows. Hughson is about five feet nine inches in height, of spare make, light and active, and with a furtive but by no means repulsive aspect. His demeanor is quiet, but sufficiently self-possessed; and, on the whole, he seems not over fearful of the future. (His only explanation to his counsel, as I under- stand, is, that he is the inventor of a new system of medical treatment, peculiarly adapted to muscular agitations, consisting, in the main, of abstinence from food, abundance of cold water, and an unlim- ited supply of Graham bread, or,Indian corn in any shape. The murdered child, he avers, was subject to epilepsy, and in this way bruised and lacerated his body. By the way, he informed his wife, (so she swears,) that he intended to pace the body in the yard in order that the hogs might root it; and order- ed ber, on pain of death, to inform any too.curious person, who might notice the marks of violence, that they were thus occasioned. The venue of this trial will probably be changed to Mackinac or Detroit, and the trial itself will come off probably in the early fall. GRAND Traverse.

It isa very large town, so far as ex- tent is concerned, even yet, though several towns and parts of others have been cut out of the original “6 myles of land square” that were granted to the founders of the place, om the 2d of September, 1635, by the General Court of Massachusetts, then sitting at New-Town, (now Cambridge.) Its original name was Musketaquid, from two Indian words, signifying grass-ground. The same name belongs to the river, and then means grassy brook. The ori- gin of the present name of the place is not precisely known, but is by some attributed to the peaceable purchase of the land from the Indians, and by others to the harmony and concord that prevailed among the original settlers. It is certain that the name was changed from Musketaquid to Concord, in the act of incorporation of 1635. Captain Peter Pol- warth, who was here with the English in 1775, (see Coeper's ‘Lionel Lincoln,’’) declared that the name should be changed to Discord, and certainly he and his CP laa had good cause for holding to that opinion. The settlement of the pee is said to have been Pannen in England, and it was the first town in New gland that was settled above tide water, its near- est neighbors being Watertown and Cambridge. It was spoken of as lying “away up in the woods,” and its inhabitants dwelt amid that solemn forest scenery which had so much to do with forming the character of our ancestors. “The calling shapes and beckoning shadows dire, And airy tongues that syllable men’s names On cocks, and sands, and desert wildernes:es,”” were constantly seen and heard by the founders of the country, and had as much to do with their con- duct, on many occasions, as the peculiar character of their religious notions. The American puritans were, indeed, a very different race of men from the puritans of Engiand. Several of the settlers were men of much wealth, having from ten to almost thirty thousand dollars. Descendants of the founders of the town are very numerous here, and the names that were common then are 80 now. The Buttricks date from 1635, and the name is borne by many here, and has always been of honorable fame in the history of the town and State. It was Major John Buttrick who gave the or- ders to fire on the British, and who fired the first shot at them himeelf, at the North Bridge, in 1775, which was the commencement of the revolutionary war. The Bloods came here in 1639, and are now numer- ous; the Burrets in 1640, and are the same. The Brookes were at the settlement of the place, and have since been conspicuous in the town, where are now many of the name. The Conants are supposed to ve descended+ from Roger Co- nant, who figures in the early history of Sa- lem, a great-grandson of whom came here one hundred and fifty years ago. Among the descend- ants of the first inbabitants are the Wrights, the Wheelers, the Hosmers, the Farwells, the Mileses, the Stows, the Woods, and the Hunts. The Minotts and Melvins came here at a later period. The Pres- cotts of Concord are descended from that John P. Prescott who founded this extraordinary family in America. His second son, Jonathan, who was born at Lancaster, came to Concord, where he was three times married. The descendants of Jonathan Pres- cott are scattered numerously over the country. The number of names that were common here in the seventeenth century pene 80 now, it follows that the cha: of abandoning their homes to strangers can- not brought aguinst the people of Concord, though said to be the most notorions characteristic of Americans—by those who kuow nothing about them. It is, however, true that Concord has sent forth many settlers to other parts of the country. Many towns in other parts of the State were setiled by Concord people, and there is not, perhaps, a State in the nies which has not more or less Concord-born eople. . e Apostle Fliot, who Iabored so strenuously to benefit the Indians, was used occasionally to preach at Concord. He translated the Bible into the Indian tengue, and some other books; but as it took the word “ Kummogkodonattoottummoootiteaongannun- nonash’’ to simply express the English words “ our question,” it is not much to be wondered at that no great literary progress was made by the aborigines. it is said that when engaged in translating the Bible, Mr. Eliot was much puzzled to make a version of this passage from the Book of Judges:—‘The mo- ther of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried through the lattice’—the difficulty being to find a word that should answer to /attice. At last, after having spent much time in explaining to the In- dians what a lattice was, they gave him a word which they assured him described the thing exactly. He adopted it, but was somewhat shocked, not long after, when he learned that the word thus used sig- nified an eel-pot, so that he had made the passage read—“The mother of Sisera looked out at a win- dow, and cried throngh the eel-pof.” An eel-pot came about as near to a piece of lattice work as anything that the Indians had, but, in translating, one should never be too literal. In a letter which I wrote you last fall, I gave some account of the revolutionary history of this place, and therefore f shall pass it over here. Those who wish to become familiar with the subject should consult the works of Mr. Frothingbam, Mr. Shat- tuck, and Dr. Ripley. Nor shall I dwell upon the literary character of the place, or the idiosyncracies of some of its people, not only because | have said all that I can on these subjects in that letter, but be- cause the reader will find them better treated than I could treat them in the writings of Mr. Thoreau and Mr. Hawthorne, to which he is referred. Concord has the honor of having the oldest mili- tary organization in the United States, after the an- cient and honorable artillery. “The Second Troo; of Middlesex Horse” was organized in 1669, and, under other names, has continued down to this day, though of late years it has not paraded. It is now called the Concord Light Infantry, which name it took in 1777. The Concord Artillery dates from 1904, and has field pieces, presented to it by the Le- gislature, with inscriptions in honor of the events of Toth April, 1775. A library was formed here in 1786, and has since been well kept up, and contains many valuable works. I have never seen an institution of the kind in better order. The lyceum of the town was formed in 1828. In the matter of education, this town has done its et to sustain the character of New England. In 775, when the buildings of Harvard College were taken for barracks to be used by the American forces at Cambridge, the institution was removed to Con- cord, where it remained until some time after the British had been driven from Boston. The Concord Bank, which has a capital of $100,- 000, is located here, and is managed, generally, by izens of the place. Colonel Shattuck is president of it. he Middlesex Mutual Fire Insurance Com- pany has its office and management in Concord; and the ‘Society of Middlesex Husbandmen and Manu- facturers,” have their annuel fair here. This insti- tution dates from 1824, and has lately been mach im- proved, in which work many of the most respectable citizens of Concord have done their full part. The fair is held in October, and the display of agricul- tural articles is very fine, and that of manufactured goods is more than respectable. Concord is more an metic than a manufac- turing place. Its principal productions in the former mode of industry are, Indian corn, rye, oats, barley, fruit, of various kinds, common to this region; mitk, wood, ‘‘ vegetables,” ice, timber, and so forth. Iam not sure thatice should not be pred among the manufactured articles, but as I like agriculture much better than I do manufactures, I shal! give the former the benefit of any doubt that there may be on the subject. Itis pretty certain that is used to exist here, in indefinite quantities, long be fore the days of churches, rum, and the small-pox, and so may be called a natural production, througa the Indians, who had no knowledge of ice creams, punches, jalepe, and “ cobblers;”’ did not think it by eel Au, ile to “gather” it. The wn of bo lace is quite unequeal, some portions it bei omnes rich, while the larger part is either inferior or indifferent. The river lands are the best. The number of acres of unimproved land, in 1860, was 3,743; of unimprovable, 111; of pasturage, including orcharding Lean 3,823, capable of keeping 775 cows; of meadow, 1,494, pro- ducing 1,236 tons of hay; of English and tpiand mow- ing, including orcharding mowed, 2,206}, which hero recently from Mobile —Matagorda Trine, May 26. | hay to the amount of 2,058 tons were taken; of wood- Carr.

Some quinces are grown, and also ars, plums, and other fruits of the kind, but not in large quantities. The lapse of a few years, however, must place Concord second to no frait-growing town in Middlesex. The Farmers’ Club, an excellent in- stitution, lately established here, and of which Mr. Brown, editor of the New England Farmer news paper, is President, has exe! a influence. f the common kinds of vegetables, great quan- tities are produced, much of which is consumed at home, the rest being sent to Boston and Lowell. Last year, 800 bushels of potatoes were sent to the former city by railway alone, and 900 bushels of rutabaga turnips. Garden seeds are extensively cultivated. In the article of wood Concord need fear a com- parison with no other town in this of the coun- try; trees growing rapidly, so that there is no fear of the supply becoming exhausted. The oak, the maple and pine, are most common, and there are also chesnut, white birch, and walnut, During the last twelvemonth 2,200 cords of wood were sold to either the Fitchburg Railroad Company, or to the brick manufacturers at Cambridge. The it that is obtained here is as good as itis abundant. Of ship timber 100 tons have been sent to Boston within a twelvemonth, and during the same time 100,000 pomp and board logs were sent to Waltham and jomerville. articles exported are milk and ice. The princi Mr. Joseph , who runs a daily car over the Fitchburg road, for the of supplying a large number of dealers in Boson, carries ppying @ year, about 218,000 gallons of milk, and that which is sent in other ‘ways must swell the amount to 250,000 gallons. He also carries large quantities from other towns, his connections extending as far as Harvard, in Worcester county. tS about 104 cents per gallon, and sells it to the mn dealers at 14 cents, who retail it at five and six cents per quart. His entire sales, including what he takes from Harvard, Groton, Littleton, aud Lincoln, cannet be much short of 350,000 gallons, worth some $49,000, ot which amount $30,000 goes to Concord. The milk is taken to Boston ee forenoon in a car specially provided for its convey- ance. It is delivered at the station in cans that must average ace quarts cach, and in good condition. There ueed formerly to be a Sunday train for this business, but it was discontinued some years since. There is not any great amount of butter and cheese sold from this town, farmers finding it more profita- ble to sell their milk at once, and without submitting it to apy process of manufacture. For the ice business Concord is well situated. Her railroad facilities—the road striking some capital Folie for the gathering of the article—are good, and few places have more water, or nea‘er and intenser uss of congelation. Last winter Mr. Wyethe, of ‘ambridge, and Messrs. Russell and Harrington, of Charlestown, housed rather more than 50,000 tons from a pond near to Loring’s Mills, directly on the line of the railroad, beside taking down conside- rable quantities as fast as it was cut. Not leas than 10,000 tons were cut for local use, so that our entire Srep.aaay be put down at 60,000 tons, worth not leas a quarter of a million of dollars. The quanety, might be almost indefinitely extended, as e number of ponds is large, and most of them pro- duce ice not inferior to that of Cambridge or Wen- ham. Mr. Tudor has a monopoly of Walden Pond; he neither cuts from it himself nor allows others to doso. This pond is right on the line of the railroad, 80 that you can all but drop a stone into it from a train. its ice is excellent in every respect, save durability, and that must be admitted to an im- portant exception. The whole amount of land that is here covered by water is upwards of four hundred acres. In the milk business several hundred tons of ice are used. Teasels were once grown here very largely, but they no longer form one of ouragricultural products. Onion gced used to be raised very extensively, but that has ceased to enter to any extent into the list of aiticles produced. Hay and straw are sent to Boston and Lowel, principally the former city, for sale, in great quantities. In 1805 a cotton mill was erected here, said to be the oldest in the State. The establishment has ever since been carried on, though occasionally changing purposes and owners. For some years past it has been owned by Mr.C.C. Damon, one of the wealthi- est men of the towm, and a very successful manuiac- turer. The mill is situated in the western part of the town, and the whole piace is Known as the Factory Village, or Damou’s Mills. Mr. Damon manufactures flannels, employing fifty hands, who produce 1,200 yards per day, or al 875,000 vase per year. The quantity ot stock consumed yearly, is 125,000 pounds. The manufacture of lead pipe and sheet lead used to be pursued here, by Mr. Loring, but the business has ceased, and the establishment has been purchased by Mr. Howe, of Ashburnham, for the manufacture ot ils, baskets, &c. Many shoes are made for both local use and exportation. In 1812, Mr. William Morroe commenced here the manufacture of lead pencils, in which business he made an ample fortune, ashe for a long time monopolized a peculiar mode of producing the article. There are five pencil maun- Factories in town, which make not far from 25,000 Toss, Or some 37,000,000 of pencils. There used to ie soap and hat manufactories here, but they were closed years ago. Barrels and hoops are made, 800 beef barrels, and 120,000 hoops of various sizes, be- ing sent over the railroad during the last twelve- month. There is a book-bindery, where a good deal of work is done; and a printing office, but no newspaper, otherwise than nominally, though the time was, when two papers, the county organs of their respective parties, flourished here. There is something done in the carriage-making line, but it is not what it used to be. It may be set down asa eneral fact, that the manufacturing business has declined in the variety of its character, while that of agriculture has increased in every way. The number of tickets so'd annually, at the rail- road station here, is upwards of 18,000, prota $9,000. Seventy-three (73) season tickets are sol at $64 each, producing $4,672. The receipts from freight, express train, and the conveyance of milk to Boston, amounts to about $11,000 a year. The num- ber of season tickets has increased from twenty-one to seventy-three in seven P keel and would have probably réached to considerably over a hundred, were houses to be had; but the Ni here are “slow” inthe way of building. The railroad ar- rangements, too, are not good. Seven trains leave here daily, for Boston, and six from Boston stop here; but the convenience of the public is but little consulted by the company. Of the seven trains that leave, but two start regularly from Con- cord, one at seven o'clock A. M., which is rather too early for a Christian of established reputation to be “up and dressed,” shaved, and breakfasted, for a day’s work among the Shylocks, and Overreaches, and Greedys, of Boston; and the other at 4:20 P. M., when none fut lawyers, fresh from a human hunt, are bound for their dens in the cities and lower towns. The increase of Concord’s population has been rather slow, being but 406 from 1840 to 1850, the latter year’s census showing the people to amount to 2,206. Itis now supposed the inhabitants are not much short of 2,500. Between 1840 and 1850 the value of property inereased from $608,649 70 to fir 262,803 20, considerably more than doubling. The amount of mouey on interest in 1850, was $166,204; of bank and insurance stock owned here, $51,301; of shares in railways, canals, bridges, and turnpik $157,341, the whole number of such shares 1,780; shares in companies of other kinds, $19,503; ounces of plate, 142. The taxes for the present year are about $11,000. n The people of Concord have a high character for liberality of a practical character. Their immense sacrifices in the revolutionary war are well known. In other ways has this characteristic been manifest- ed—by legacies and gifts for charitable and religious purposes, and by exertions in behalf of the cause of education. Besides the officers and ex-office holders that [ have mentioned before as residing here, Concord now has the office of High Sheriff of Middlesex, conferred by Governor Clifford, and that of Superintendent of ¢ Boston Custom house. The place of County Trea- surer of Middlesex has been held by residents of Con- cord for forty-five years.

Business, however, of all kinds ia steadily advancing, Workmen, particularly carpenters, masons, and stone-cutters, are in much demand, and difficult to be obtained. Great things are expected from an agri- cultural show, which is to come off in Halifax, under the distinguished patronage of the Lieut. Governor, on the Sth and 6th of October, when handsome prizes will be awarded. Sir Gaspard L. Marchant’s taste for agriculture, and the means he is pursuing to gratify it, are fast winning for him among the masses that which it was at first thought he would be long in Wesspeape gp raat and favor. The kindness and ney of his estimable lady materially assisting mR. The Vice Admiral, Sir George Seymour, who, by the way, has just received from her Majesty a good service pension, is preparing to visit Newfoundland, around which island, accompanied by the Devasta- tion and Argus, he intends to cruise. Lady Seymour and family are now in the United States, having left here per steamer on Tuesday. A great outcry bas been raised by some portion of our colonial press against the French ermen of St. Pierre and Miquelon, who are charged with having driven off the fishing grounds of Newfound- land some seventy or a hundred British fishing ves- sels; and they are threatened with all sorts of “bloody war’’’in consequence. From this you will reeive that ‘“Bluenose” can bully, bluster and ‘breaten, when caught robbing his neighbor, as well as any other fishing freebooter. By thetreaty of Versailles of the 34 of September, 1783, between Great Britain and France the fish- eries around the coasts of Newfoundland were regu- lated, and ia driving off our vessels the French ey enforced the treaty, and were perfectly jus- tified. In addition to the fleet of war steamers and_ves- sels now on this station for the protection of the fisheries, the Admiral is about penton out the Bo. netta, and a new vessel now ready for launching. The Bonetta is one of the swiftest schooners owned in Nova Scotia, and will carry two guns and thirty men. The other vessel will be similarly manned and equipped, and unless she belies her appearance, will $8 in sailing rae anything of her size to be found near the fishiag “‘diggins."

At first the lover could not believe the story, but, finding out, on inquiry, its truth, he at once broke off the match, thereby show- ing his love, which was with him an inherent sion for the widow’s money—not herself. The lady's friends say she is delighted at her fortunate escape. Woman vs. Woman, (From the St. Louis Republican.) THE KOSSUTH HUMBUG—TA@K STOWR HUMBUG. This is the age of humbug, and if it is not one thing, it is another; some version of mental halluci- nation must keep the public attention excited, and, in my opinion, the Stowe and Kossuth humbugs take the lead of all others in the nineteenth cen- tury. One short Paia3 ago, Kossuth, released from the Turkish thraldom, came to England, and afterwards to America, in imperial state, received as the ‘‘na- tion’s guest; deluding the people by his eloqaent genius, he has proved himself a humbug, exciting sympathy, and obtaining money for a cause which he knows is entirely hopeless. His coming and going have been forgotten, and now we have another “John Donkey” in the field. Mrs. Harriet Peecher Stowe, a resident of Boston, an obscure, unknown person, somewhat advanced in life, being past fifty, came forward last summer with a novel «ntitled “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” As a lite- rary produ ‘tion it is below mediocrity, and in regard to slavery, it contains more gross misstatements and exaggerations than avy work of the kind I have ever read. It was immediately republished in England, and being translated into French, German, and Italian, sold immensely. The people of Engiand, and Europe generally, unacquainted with our hRaeae relations, imagined the slaveholders as brutal to their slaves as the piratical Beys of Algiers, or the Spaniards of Bonth America. All Englaud became convulsed about the Southern slaves. Meetings were held, and Mrs. Stowe, as the expounder of abolitionism andthe advocate of freedom, was invited to visit England by the Duchess of Sutherland, and be present at the Ex- eter Anti-slavery Society. Mrs. Stowe’s husband addressed the meeting, in- forming them that the best way to abolish pares, in the Southern States was to discontinue the purchase of cotton from the American slaveholders until free labor could be obtained, and recommended the intro- duction of some of the vagabond Chinese who are flooding our country at present, for thé purpose of depreciating slave labor. | would wish to say a few words concerning the condition of free whites and the African élave. In the city of New York alone there are computed to be annually 30 000 persons who arrive in that city from foreign countries, who cannot obtain labor at the wages of starvation. On the contrary. on the Southern plantations slaves are fed, clothed, and at- tended to when ill; they are not brutally treated, as Mrs, Stowe has so shamelessly misrepresented: for the purpose of aioe her book sell. Instead of ex- havstipg her ale ies upon our slaves, who do not need ‘it, I would ask the Duchess of Sutherland to look upon the poor tenants of her. own lands, whom she and her husband have ejected, sending them over here in want, whilst she exhausts her sympathies on public entertainments for a strolling abolitionist, whose only merit is her impudence. “Charity should begin at home,” is an old proverb and a very true one. The city of Lotion is rottea with —all the result of want. Thousands of beautiful young women; who, if they had opportuni- ties, wild become ornaments te society, die de- praved, unhappy beings, from nothing bnt poverty. The negro race are incapable, from their mental as well as physical organization, of self-government and social Jitiprovernent. As slaves, they are in the position for which nature evidently intended them, obeying their masters and being provided for. As freemen, in Africa, they are cannibals, barbarous, uncultivated, roaming wild over the Wren plains, very little above the ourang outang in intelligence; they are only capable of improvement when brought under the influence of the white man, and they speedily degenerate into absolute barbarism when removed from them. Sympathy for their condition, or efforts to elevate them to an equal rank with the whites, is uncalled for and useless; they are incapa- ble of it, but the poor of our own race are, and need it far more. ‘Lhe Duchess of Sutherland might easily improve the condition of those unfortunate people she sent away by rescinding the crushing taxation, build ing new houses, establishing schools for chil- éren, and adding some few improvements to the wretched condition of those poor poops, or, if she wishes to extend her pbilan ropy. go into the mines of England and see e people who work there, who never see the light of day for years, and who generally die from loathsome diseases, unattended and unknown, all the result of want. 1 might add a thousand such instances, but I think 1 have stated enough to show how misplaced, uncall- ed for and ridiculous is all this excitement about Mrs. Stowe and her book. I will add that J think a large lunatic asylum ought to be be built for the ascommodation of ‘Mra. Stowe, her husband, ard the spiritiual rappers, and to prevent the public from being outreged by tueir obtrusiveness. Very truly, GFENEVIEVE G, FAIRFIELD. Planters’ House, June 5. MONEY MARKET.
