COPPER MINE IN MARYLAND.

COPPER NINE IN MARYLAND. We
learn from the American that copper
mine has recently been discovered on the
farm known as "The Ems,' in Carroll
county, in this State, about two miles a.
bove Reisterstown. which bids fair to
prove very valuable. The ore has been
assayed by Prof. Ducatel. late State &c,
oIogist. who pronounces it Of superior
quality. very easily reduced, and contain
ing about fifty per cent. of metal. A
company is about to be formed for the
purpose of raising the ore. We suspect
that investigation will bring to light 9TH
err similar mines in different sections OF
our State.

Sullivan was worsted at the fifteenth

that the Governor may follow up the
beginning he caused to be made. and de-
mand Of the Governor Of New York the

State, for a pack Of infamous rowdles
from the dens of distant city, to come
upon her soil to engage IN an outrage

We observe that the Legislature OF
New York has passed stringent laws a.
gainst all who engage in prize fights in

such purpose, or who aid IN training men
for such fights. We hope every State
