p9 The Washington correspondent Of
the Courier and Enquirer estimates the ag-
gregate value of imports for the last fiscal
year, at $3l5, ,00O, 900 instead Of $780,
OOO, 900, as before estimated. The imports
Of the preceding fiscal year of 1888,
were $26S, 900, 600 The increase, there
fore, for the present year is $4T ,O00, 900.
The revenue from customs in lS52-53 was
$5s, 800, 900. In ls53-54, the revenue
was $64, ,224,ls The increase, therefore
is slightly under six millions Of dollars.
Had the receipts Of the last quarter equal,
led the expectations that were warranted
by those Of the three preceding ones. the
increase would have been full $4,000, 900.
The income Of the Government for tho
fiscal year of l854-55, Is estimated at
$4,000, 900, and the expenditures above
that large aggregate. -. blal

IMPORTANT TO PAPER MAKERs.-We were

fibre, it still becomes entirely perfect
pulp under the ordinary bleaching and beat

fine article of smooth, strong, beautiful
paper can be manufactured from it at about
ten per cent. discount on paper made from
rags. The adhesive qualities Of the shrub
are so great that no animal matter need be
used in manufacturing ordinary printing
paper, and it also makesa good surface

For the last few years we have known
Mr.. AFFLEcK well, and we might say in

we know not a gentleman on the coast with
whom we would choose to be brought in
contact with as a political opponent, as the
gentleman referred TO in the Statesman -
He is whig all orer-gentlemanly, firm,
and discreet; and we cannot but congratu-
late the inhabitants of Pierce, county, and
especially our old friends and monetary con-
tributors, who in the early stages of our
newspaper life in this territory, contributed
so materially in promoting our temporary
existence, in having man in their county
at the head of paper, (albeit he is a whig)
who will conduct it in manner, creditable
to himself, and, as we hope, satisfactory to
the universal whig party, and acceptable
to all. We wish him abundant success, so
long as he lives up to the standard of pro-
priety to which we have accorded him, and
which should regulate the intercourse be-
tween neighboring Journalists.
In explanation of the foregoing, it may
be as well to add, that Mr.. Afleck de-

possessed some statesman, elevated in patri-
otism and commanding in influence, whose
voice could be heard throughout the land
rallying to his aid the conservative majority
of all sections, and bidding Northern fanat.
acism and Southern ultraism, freesoil ag.
gression and pro slavery agitation, alike be
still. We are tired of this everlasting com.
motion about negrodom; the Southern people

flee of their inalienable rights"

Of inflicting on the best men and the best in

Jackson) is mighty and will prevail."-
"Falsehood (Mr. Jefferson sadly will travel

GREAT FIRE IN BRUNSWICK!
Nineteen Houses Burned!

100000 north Of property Destroyed!
We are called upon to record destruct-
i've fire, by which our neighboring city,
Brunswick, suffered severely. The con-
fagration took place last Sunday morning
the 10th, about one o'clock. When first
discovered, the back part of the store of
Kerr, Hall & Co., on the corner Of Madison
and Main streets, was on fire, and so far
advanced as TO render any effort to eXtin-
guish the flames almost impossible. The
wind quite brisk, blowing from the North
East soon caused the fire to be COM
municated to the houses on the west side of
Main street. All the houses on the north,
side, where the fire originated, between
Madison and Sycamore streets, were de-
stroyed; and all on the South between the
same streets, except three, were also burned
down.
The sufferers are, Kerr, Hall g. Co., R.
H. Dickey & Co., Conwell & Spencer, b.
N. Jones & Co., Hathaway & Anderson, j.
A. Winters, R. c. Gregory, F. w. Trent,
Jno. Doss Derrickson s. Dickey, w. S.

tine & Outcalt, T. Newbold, B.. Henson, G.
Shelter, w. II. Plunkett, T. Mink, Chas.
Sass, E. Garrin, Benjamin, Quincy &
Goats.
A majority of the sufferers lost all their
effects. About two thirds of the entire loss
is covered by insurance. Conwell & Spen.
Ger are supposed to be the heaviest losers
their stock amounting TO some fifteen thou
sand dollars, nine thousand of which was
covered by insurance. The Brunswickel
office was entirely destroyed. Harris s
Wilkinson lost their library. c. W. Bel
lost his library, and all his papers. Their
is but little doubt but that the fire was thu
work of an incendary.
Our correspondent writes, "most of tn
sufferers will commence business again.
New arrangements for the future are already
on foot, and there is talk of going upor
the Hill, which it is to be hoped will be car
red out"

+. x. Aubrey Killed.

We learn by up-river boats that news had
been received at Independence, announcing
that Mr.. +. X. Aubrey was killed at Santa
Fe, in difficulty with Major Weightman,
about the Goth of last month. Mr.. Aubrey
had Just arrived from San Francisco, on 4
wager that he could travel from that place
TO Santa Fe in twenty-five days. He made
the trip in twenty-five, but was killed in q
short time after his arrival. We rave nc
particulars of the affair.
Mr.. Aubrey was a remarkable man, and
had done the country great service in giving
valuable information of the geography and
topography of the country between this and
the Pacific. He was one of the most intre.
lid travellers in the world. All will recol.
lect his fast trips between Independence
and Santa Fe. We think the time was
about .fue days and a half Putting the two
trips together, he traversed the entire coun
try from Independence to San Francisco il
less than twenty eight days!
