forth that Messre. Henry Fitzgerald and j. V. Pratt

When testified before the committee, spoke OF
facts which were within my own knowledge and
which had gained by experience. The editor of

been engaged in the business one day in his life. lie
had no knowledge on the subject, except such as ne
had gained from conversations with persons eng
in the trade, and by correspondence with Black he
publican aud other editors of the North.
And as for the estimates made by the Editor OF
the Argus Of the oyster trade Of Virginia, which he
puts down at lsO0O.0O0 bushels per snnum, they
were considered by men engaged extensively 10 the
trade, and who have had the best opportunities OF
knowing all about it, as utterly wild and visionary,

some water should be put in them-the quantity is
usually about fourth. gallon OF oysters s good

We may, then, safely set down the profit on oysters
at fifty cents per bushel. At this rate The profits on
one.hsf this trade would be 81 600, not ons cent
Of which ia realized in Virginia. The shells from

bushels would at least, be that number of bushels;
the half would be 3,0OO0lN bushels. This lime
would, at so bushels per acre. in ten years, manure

increase the fertility of the soil on the Eastern shore
