CUMBERLAND, Nov. "a.

LAND sAhEs.--Another heavy pmr-
chase, has been made in this town.
The extensive property Of David Shri-
yer, Esq. has been disposed of TO Mr..
Skinner, for the sum Of one hundred
and eighty thousand dollars. This
property, eight years since, could
have been purchased for fifty thous-
and dollars.
We understand that tine purchaser in.
tends proceeding Immediately to the
laying out an addition to Cumberland,
to consist of not less than one thous-
and town Lots, suitable for building
on &c.
| another sale of house aud lot in
town aud a small lot adjoining town
was made by MIR. Henry Wineow for
ten thousand dollars. The origina /
cost Of this property did not exceed
/ fue thousand dollars.
And another sale Of coal land, by
Mr.. Combs, for Twenty-Five thousand
dollars. A few years since Mr.. c..
purchased this property for one thous
and FIVE hundred dollars.
Many other sales varying from 500
to 1000 dollars have been made, and
many more are spoken of. Business
ofevery kind is looking up in Cum
! berland, and will no doubt continue TO
do 50 until she will be able to vie with
most of the eastern inland Towns in
Maryland.
| The SOUTHERN CHARAcTER.-The;sol
/ lowing tribute to the character of the
South is copied from an essay in the
Portland Courier.
"The writer has travelled thousands
of miles in the Southern country, and
for severa! years he has been an active
observer OF character as it is develop
ed beneath Southern sun. He has
mingled in the various grades OF socie-
ty. He has met her citizens under
all circumstances, favorable and unfa.
vorable. With these opportunities OF
judging he would certainly come to a
very different conclusion. Wherever
he had wandered the hand of hospital.
| ity has been extended towards him.
How sweetly has the cheering voice OF
welcome fallen upon his ear. Many
/ are the offices of kindness he exper.
fenced, and not unfrequently from the
hands Of entire strangers. Grateful
is the recollection he will ever cherish
ofseenss that are. past, but which have
obtained the most hallowed place in
| his memory. He is aware tina. his pen
is incapable of doing Justice to this
subject, but he would do violence to
his feelings were he to suffer this op.
portuaiiy TO pass without recording his
testimony in favor of the citizens a.
mong whom he resides. After wan.

SLAVERY in Missouri ---Several of
the leading Missouri papers are advoca-
ting the gradual emancipation of the
slaves in that State. They propose that
the convention, which has been called for
the purpose of re-modelling the constitu-
ton, shall provide, that all such blacks as
may be born before given time shall be
slaves for life; that those born after a
certain period shall be slaves for given
number ofyears; and that those born af-
ter period more remote shall be free at
birth. They place the question entirely
upon grounds of expediency.
