NEW MAIL ARRANGEMENT.-It seems

NEW MAIL ARRANGEMENr,-Its seems
mat we ale soon TO have daily mail (Sun-
days excepled) from Washington city to our
village. From and after the lst of Februa-
ry trl-weekly mail, by way of the Poto-
mac river and Marbury's Landing, will be de-
lIvered in addition to the tri-weekly BY The
old route. Mr.. McDermolt holds both con-
tracts, which we are happy to say could moi,
have fallen into better hands. Our commu-
nifty can but feel under some obligation to this
gentleman for having placed upon the old
route the best stages and horses that perhaps
ever were upon il before, and that too for q
very small compensation. He intends on the
first of next month to place on the route to
Marbury's Landing a comfortable stage to
connect with the steamboat daily for the
accommodation of the travelling public
We have no doubt the new arrangement will
be found beneficial. We have always had our
doubts as to the practicabili.y Of having re-
gular communication by way of the Poto-
mac IN consequence of the difficulty of land
ing at times; bu. as we are to have the mails
by the old route continued, we can afford
occasionally TO "put up with failure by
the other.

STATE AGRICULTURAL CuEMIsT.-Dr.
HIGGlNs, Agricultural Chemist for Maryland,
announces that he has established his la
boratory in Baltimore city, where he will be
prepared to anaIyze any specimens Of soil
that may be sent to him for that purpose
For the present, specimens are receivable
from Howard District The Baltimore Ameri-
can says: "The trouble and Inconvenience of
carrying his laboratory from place to place,
the injury to which the apparatus was liable
from frequent changes, and the importance
of having location where the means and
appliances necessary for carrying on his
operations and experiments nigh, be obtain
ed when wanted, induced Dr. HIGGlNs to
make Baltimore his permanent head quarters.
''ln referring the other day TO the increas-
ed value Of lands in Maryland, it might have
been added that the Iabors of Dr.. HIGGINs
in the various parts Of the Stale where he
has analysed soils, have had a most useful
and marked effect in giving impetus and a
right direction to agricultural improvements
in Maryland. The Legislature did wise hing
when 1t Instituted the office of State Agri-
cultural Chemist, and while we hope tina,
the office will permanently continue we ma y
also hope that it may always be as well fill
ell as it is now.''

FUGITIvE SLAVE CASE IN NEW York.
The editor Of the New York Tribune la
ments that Henry Long, fugitive slave
from Virginia, was delivered up, after long
trial, to his master. II seems that the slave
was Indifferent to the result Of the proceed
Ings in Court-confessed that he was the
slave OF the claimant, and had run away
from him as stated. Notwithstanding the
aholItIonists Gncluding the editor of the Tri-
bune,l must have known this admission by
Long, the greatest efforts were made to de-
Leaf The claimant. and several coiored wit
nesses were produced who swore to Longs
residence in New Y ork at the time when
1t was proved he was in Virginia. Thus,
IN the zeal of the aboliiionists to prevent
the return Of fugitive slave TO his owner,
they caused some three or four persons to
commit prejury. After Long had been de-
lIvered TO his owner, large concourse of
negroes assembled around the Irving House
supposlng the fugitive to be there, and pro-
bly, intending to rescue him from The hands
of the Marshal. But things were better
managed by the owner and officers, and
Long was sent home. During the disturb
ance before the Irving House, zone of the
blacks" (says the Tribune ''s,ruck white
man who was present, and bloody scene
came near being enacted" |. appears by
the same paper, that "a Southerner, who
had been witness for the claimant, being
present, drew six barreled revolver, and
threatened to blow away at any black who
should interfere with him" Tha, he would
have carried his threat into execution there
can be no doubs-and, seeing that the me-
groes are thus permitted to assemble and
threaten the lives of those who endeavor to
reclaim fugitive slaves, the Sou,herners who
GO on such business, will take good care to
be we'll armed. If the negroes possess any
discretion they will keep a, respectable
distance from Southern claimants and wit
nesses or they will have short lease of their
lives.-BaH. Clipper.

THE INAUGURATION The Inauguration
Of the Hon. ENocH LOUIS Lowe, as Gov
ernor Of Maryland, took place in the Senate
Chamber on Monday, the 9Th inst a, the hour
Of IL O'Clock. The Governor was sworn in
by Chancellor JOHNSON. in the presence Of
the members of the Reform Convention,
and large number of citizens and strangers.
The Governor after taking the usual oath of
office, delivered an eloquent address on the
occasion, which is too long for our columns
and which as the Frederick Examiner says,
''we have no doubt, so far as the preserva-
ton Of State faith goes it will NEE, gene
raj approval. Whilst he expresses himself
favorable to reduction of the burdens of
taxation compatible with our obligations.
he pledges himself'lo cooperate with The
Legislature and the people, in maintaining
the honor Of The Sate.'"
'The Governor concludes quite patrioti-
cally, though strongly Southern in tone -
He inculcaes the idea, that to the North
belongs the preservation Of the Union. That
the compromise cannot be effective and
lasting by supineness, Indifference, or lack
of moral courage, but by energy and deci-
sion on the par, of Northern Unionists
otherwise fanatics and traitors, though few
in number, will nullify the effects of the
Fugitive Slave Law-lhe only act Of com

THE DEBATEs.-The Reform Conven-
ton have al last decided to have the Debates
reported and printed. 1t appears to US i'm
por,ant that this should be done, so that
hereafter, when questions Of doubt may arise
under the new constitution now being franz
ed, there may be something on record, be-
sides the constitution itself, by which to as
certain the intention Of its trainers. Besides
this consideration, there will be much time
saved, which would be los'in personal expla-
nations by the members of the Convention
if there were no revised and corrected re-
ports printed.

been employed as Reporter, and William
McNeir as Printer of the Debates.

From the above statement it will be seen that
the stock on hand on theA lst January, 1851, was
1857 hhds. The stock at the same period of
1850, was 9,62S hhds and of 1S49, 80, 800 hhds.

t'centy years past has averaged, hhds. 1897

According to the latest accounts from Bremen
and Holland, the stocks in those markets at pre-
sent are about 10000 hhds less than at this time
last year.
From persons largely interested in the Tobacco
trade, and well informed in relation thereto, we
have gathered the following general statements:
! The crops of Tobacco to come to market in the
year 1851 are estimated as follows:
Virginia, about O,0OO hhds
kentucky, Tenn. & Missouri, about $4,000 *
Maryland, about $4,000
| Ohio, about $4,000
From the above estimate it will be seen that the
quantity produced in 1850, is much less than two
thirds of the usual production in the States named
The entire crop of Virginia will be required for
home consumption. About Is 900 hhds Kentuc-
ky, and 5000 hhds. Maryland will also be wanted
for home use. Owing to the increase of popula-
ton by immigration and otherwise, the domestic
consumption, which was few years ago so small
as not to be considered worthy of notice, has now
increased to very important item, and affords
steady home market for large portion of the pro-
duction.
The quantity of Maryland Tobacco left for ex-
port to Bremen and Holland in 1851, will only be
about II 900 hhds. which is not more than half the
amount usually shipped to those countries every
year.
OF the Kentucky Tobacco contracted for last
year by France and Spain, through their agents
in this country, less than one-third has yet been
purchased, and those governments will this year
require the deficiency to be made up, in addition
| to their average annual supply, which, with the
quantity required for England, will take the entire
crop, leaving nothing for the rest of Europe, Afr-
ca, South America, the West Indies, &c The
Tobacco markets throughout the world are in a
much more healthy condition than has ever been
known, and it is thought prices will rule very high
the coming season In Maryland, while the pro
ductlon has been more than half an average crop,
the price is nearly three times as high as usual. so
that the planter will receive more for his dimin-
ished crops than in ordinary seasons Of plenty
