A Ne,o York Declaration Of Mdepcndence.-
The suggestion to establish new State out of the
most powerful aud conservative portion Of New
York, is again urged by of the leading journals
of that city. The New York Express declares
that New York is no longer free State, and says
the time has come when the people of Southern
New York-including Richmond, Queens, Kings,
Suffolk, and the river countes-ought to take into
serious consideration the necessity Of the division
of the Southern part of the State from the Western
part 1t enume-ates succession of acts ofinjusce,
spoliation and despotism, to which no municipality
in the old world would ever have submitted See
how the Black Republican Legislature of New
York has placed the patriotic metropolis in the
condition of conquered province, and judge what
will be the condition of the Southern States when
this party gets possession of the Federal Government,
and has its feet upon the neck of the South, it
now has on the Empire City.

INCENDIARY DOCUMENTS IN MARYLAND.-The
Kent county (Md) Observer says that Judge
Carmichael has decided that il is not necessary for
postmasters to inspect each issue of newspaper to
if incendiary sentiments contained therein;
that # the general reputation of paper is of that
character, postmaster is justified in Withholding
such paper, knowing its character tendency,
renders himself liable to all the penalties enacted
for circulating incendiary documents. He also
directed the Grand Jury to notify each postmaster
in the county of this decision. The several
postmasters, in pursuance of this decision, were
directed to refuse all application for the New York
Tribune they (the jury) decided that paper to be
incendiary sheet. Postmasters delivering said
paper, will be prosecuted in every case.

HIGH PRICES FOR ToBAcco.-We learn from
the Milton Chronicle, that the crops of tobacco
raised by s S. Harrison, Esq, of Caswell county,
n. c., were sold last week, in Danville, Va, at
forty dollars per hundred, for the home crop and
twenty-five dollars per hundred for that raised on
another plantation. These fine prices we're paid
not as in some cases of brag sales, for handful of
good tobacco, while the bulk of the lot went for
scarcely anything at aIl-but for the entire crops,
lugs as we'll as top leaf.
