A friend has sent us copy, issued May, 8,
1883, Of The Neic. York Journal and Weekly

Daily at SO and Weekly at 50 per onuum,

Steamboats,, no Railroads in those days, but
there were not even regular lines of sailing
vessels leaving New-York for any foreign
port, aud the European News in said pnper

in dry goods, and one firm engaged in man

commenting or condemning the Federal
Constitution, then recently framed but not
yet fully ratified, nre freely advertsed-the
famous letter of Luther Martin Ia Delegate

easy line, leaving Powles Hook at aud
Philadelphia at & each morning, for those
" gentlemen aud Indies who wish to indulge
" themselves in the morning, or who fear the
effects of the early air." so, you see, they
took their comfort in those old times, though
they did rumble along TO Philadelphia in
stages, and did NJ have much money.
SSiy-6ye years 0go Our people were first
beginning TO consider that they should soon
want President, aud that GEORGE WASH

luton was quietly preparing for its first
grand outbursi, which took place next year.
Warren Hastings was on trial before the
British House of Lords for his cruelties in

A correspondent lns favored us with the
following information, which he tells us Inny
he relied on: A gentleman in Christ Church
parish planted one ucre of land with cotton
seed, which has produced bag OF cotton
wool, weighing 267 lbs. nent, iliis hc has
sold at l5d. per lb, so that lie gJt Tor the
whole Gig lbs. 9d. 1t was, on examination,
of an exceeding good aunIiiy. The planter
declares that, had he attended It properly,
he would have produced more. lie further
says, that one OF his hands could with ense
take care of seven to eight acres, until the
cotton is ready TO tuke III, at which time he
must have the assistance of snull negroes
to pick and carry il into safety As the
mode Of cleaning it in this country tOrmerIy
is what the planters dislike, we have the
pleasure 10 add, that there are persons in
this State who can mnIe the necessary ma
chimes for picking it, as well as tor carding
and spinning il. This commodity bids fair
10 become principal staple article OF export
from this StuIe, for ii one negro can manage
seven ncres OF cotton, aud sells it ut the
above price only, his labor will bring his
owner in Gig lGs 81 per nnnum surprising
also that ench acre of land produces only
267 lbs. of cotton. 1t is well known that
ihe cotton manufactures in Great Britan
will take amy quantity that this State run
raise, ns they nre deemed hy good judges to
he now only in their infancy. Land that Is
unfit for rice or corn will yield cotton; as
negroes, in raising this article, will have IN
occasion 10 wet Ileir fees, they will OF course
be more healthy, aud will live longer than
they do by raising rire IN swatnps. Besides
which, MS they will be able TO earII 50 much
money by the cultivation Of il, the planters
will thereby raise the value OF every negro
now in this State.
