GREAT OYEsrER EsrABLIsMENr.-The oyester
establishment of Holt & Maltby, which covers an
acre or two of ground, is located at the mouth
of jones' Falls, in Baltimore. Here vessels
loaded with oysters from the entrances of Ches-
apeake Bay, are constantly discharglng their
cargoes at the rate of three thousand bushels a
day Some twelve or fourteen hands are en-
gagged in wheeling the oysters to the open stands,
where over two hundred hands are busy cracking
the bivalves. The persons employed in this
branch are all free negroes, who are paid ten
cents per gallon for opening; some of them
earning at this rate two dollars and half per
diem Three thousand gallons of oysters are
packed in cans every day. and shipped by ex-
press to all points of the West.
Twenty timers are employed in the manufac-
ture of cans and as many more in that of boxes.
The shells are not the least feature of the estab-
lishment as the hills of them about the depot
attest. They are burned, and thus transformed
into most excellent manure for the sandy lands
of the bay During the season, the business
sums up about two thousand dollars day. And
its extent enables the proprietors to get along
with small percentage-tCin. Com

Washington as follows of these two men;
That tall, yonnsishloeking, well dressed, and
strongly made, rather prepossessing man OF some
thirty years, is John w. Whitfield, chosen dele-
gate for Kansas by the Missourians who went
over TO that Territory for the purpose on the
day of election appointed by the Legislature they
chose last Spring. And that firmly knit, plainly
dressed, middle-sized, farmer-looking person OF
fftv, with low-crowned hat, and hair and mus
tache beginning to wear the silyer-tnge OF Life s
Autumn, is Andrew II. Breeder, the delegate
chosen at an election appointed by themselves by
the Free State Settlers of Kansas, comprising
more than two thirds of the actual residents Of
the Territory. Around these two personages
how much the interests of the Session necessari-
ally concentrates. How vitality must the strug-
gle of 80 and the future character and destiny
Of our country be influenced by the their CON
Hicting fortune.
