The Rugby Colony 20 be Removed
to Minnesota.

The following surprising and dis
couraging information appears in the
Courier Journal of the 3D.
A gentleman from the east gives
the information that the Rugby colo
ny is to be boldly removed from Ten
nessee to Minnesota. Mr.. Hughes
stated in Boston hat he and his fell
low-helpers had been %grievOusly
cheated by the laud-sbarks from
whom they bought the tract.
The LAND is not at all productive; wa
ter is not to be had without boring
$50 feet, and many circumstances OPP
pose the ultimate success OF the colo
ny, no matter how long it might re-
main there.
Minnesota has granted sufficient
land to the colonAsts absolutely free;
the friends Of the enterprise in Eng
land have raised sufficient means
wherewith to transport them to that
state, and the removal will shortly be
effected.
This is greatly to be regretted, as
the cOlonisGs are all men Of thrift and
some means, none being admitted with
less than $3.50, and the deception
practiced upon those philanthropists
will mitigate against Tennessee and
the south generally.
