THE SUGAR CROP IN BARBADOS.

The cry rs still kept up, Emancipation has
ruined the British West India Colonies Such
croakorS overlook or misrepreseBt the fact that
he habits IF Sapery extended into emancipation

the prosperity of nation or colony is rather
to be measured by its consumption than its OK.
ports There is distress in Jamaica, but it il
not owing to emancipation, as all the planters
know
have before me recent statement of the
Sugar Crop in Barbados, which is very graft
flying To the friends of that hourishing island,
and to the lriends of freedom. The Barbados
Globe says by accounts WHICH nave REACHED
us, from undoubted sources. it appears that up
to the present time, IA, 900 hogsheads of sugar,
in round numbers comprised in various de-
scriptions of packages have been actually
shipped from this island whilst tonnage is now
in Carlisle Bay, together with what is yet OK
pectcd to arrive, for feigbtipg to the British
market some 1000 hogshcais additional
contamination not only deyoutly to be wished
but an expectation which we are told will be
realized so that on calculations rs reliable az
most on which conclusions are based, the pres.
ept gears crop is likely to be set down in 6g,
ures represeatine fhe 'prodigious' total Of
$4,000 hogsheadst in the AI3yc remarks we
have dealt only with the gross crop tha4 i
likely to bs plaoHa to our credit in England
The local consumption must not be forgotten
which is moderately estimated VI 3g09 hogs
heads. The crop of 1882 is therefore yerg

JAMAICA-ITS CONDITION AND INDUSTRIAL
RESOURCES AND ADVANTAGES.

The following article is from the pen of II
highly esteemed friend Of the people of color,
who has entitled himself to their confidence by
his steady and generous advocacy Of thor
right to an equal share with their white neigh
bors in all the privileges and benefits of Amer-
can citizenship It was written in that dark
hour of terror and uncertainty which followed
the PRONUNCIATION Of the Fugitive Slave Law,
when there seemed no city of refuge left for
the fugitive in the free States. The author
simply wished to show the condition of the
principal island Of the British West Indies,
and what advantages it presented as a home
for the fugitiyes from Southern slavery should
they be compelled to abandon their native
land He has no sympathy with the unchris--
tan prejudice which strives tO drive from oar
country those who, next to the Indians. have
the best right to it whose ancestors were torn
from their own land, and, with their descend
ants, compelled to toll for many generations
for naught, until the accumulated capital,
which is their Just due lies ike a mortgage
upon the whole land
This article embodies the results of an ex-
tensiye correspondence with persons of differ
ent classes in Jamaica. In some cases SYM
pathy for the hunted fugitive. and in Others q
desire for more laborcrs on the island. may
have somewhat coored the replies but from
the character of the writer's their statements
cannot but be, in the main, reliable

RIGHT ONWARD.
BY EDWARD D. HOWARD.

Right onward sweeps the rolling deep,
While DER its breast the surgeS leap,
And loud the wind pipes, wild and FREQ,
It's song OF progress o er the sea.
Right onward was the path Of light,
When first it pierced the boundless night;
Right onward through his trackless way
Unceasing rolls the orb Of day.
Right onward o er the trembling wire,
The Lightning speeds its word Of fire;
And demon Steam, like cOnquering Fate,
Storms onward with its priceless freight
Right onward Thoughts bright lcgions fly,
Like stars that track the midnight sky;
Onward Liie's mystic current flows,
And Death is stranger TO rcpose.
Hope rosy fingers onward mark
The star of triumph through the dark
And through Eternity sublime,
Right onward speeds the march Of Time.
Right onward Freedom banner waves
Right onward press her band Of braves
Ouward-rght onward still shall be
