U Kibhca, of Ilawkinsville, Dciro- rvrt'cmsdt.hile for the Senate from the di.-triet composed of the counties <.f Pulaski, Wilcox, Dooly, and Dodge, received all the votes polled at the election on the 13th instant. The vote was not very full, owing to the heavy mins preceding the election, which de stroyed bridges, etc., hut sufficiently so to prove in what high esteem Col. K. was held. Our friends down there have given him what we asked for when he was nominated, viz: An overwhelming endorsement as one in every way worthy their support.

This time he “ deems it his duty” to address the members of the Legislature, in explanation of his political course, and his connection with the State Road lease. In the matter of writing letters, Mr. Hill comes nearer discharging his whole duty than any mnn of our nc- ipupntance. We do. not think, how ever, ih.it he can be elected. - Census Facts. In the census returns the entire pop ulation of the United States is given at 38.555.9W; of which 32.980.437 -re native lihd 5,066.i'Hi of. fonign birth, which is about six-seven ths of the former to one-seven thof the latter, But this one-seventh is for short of what may be properly consid ered the foreign element which enters into our population ; for of those who are put doWn in the tables as natives, there are mniny bf' foreign parentage possessing all the habits and feelings of their parents. As it is an establish ed- fact that onr foreign population is the most prolific, we are certainly within the mark when we put down 5,GX,'J0O as the children ol foreign parents, which, coupled with the figur es which number our foreign-bom citizens, makes the foreign element in the United States at the present time equal to more than one-fourtli of the entire people. Of this foreign popula tion, it is interesting to note that 63,- 251 are Chinese, of which California claims 49,310 ; Idaho, 4,274; Mon tana, 1,949; Nevada, 3,152, and Oregon, 3,330. These celestials air- pear to have found their way into thirty of our States anil Territories, but six only possessed, when the cen sus was taken, n single specimen East, while in fifteen there were less than a score in each. The largest number in any Eastern State, at the taking of the census a year ago, was ninety-seven in Massachusetts. Fifteen of the States contain each more than a million ot in habitants; New York, 4,382,759; Penn sylvania, 3,521,791 ; Ohio, 2665,200; Illinois, 2,539,891; Missouri, 1,721,- 295 ; and after them follow Indiana, Massachusetts, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, Iowa, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, and Wisconsin, in that order. It will be observed that of these States six were old slave-hold ing Slates. In South Carolina there are 239,667 whites and 415,814 neg roes; in Mississippi, 382,896 whites md 444,201 negroes; in Louisiana 362,065 whites and 364,210 negroes.

A negro attempts to outrage a young lady —He is shot to death in his celt. On yesterday evening late we were enabled to get the full particulars of the recent tragical affair which has caused so much excitement in the town of Madison. Yesterday morning we published a brief article stating that a negro had attempted to outrage a young lady, had been arrested and put in jail, and that on the succeeding . . , night a party of men had attempted to zens of Virginia as fully as they are take him out of jail and had failed.— now caucus.

The larger portion of thc unim proved, uncultivated soil of theUnited States, including nearly all that of the States of Nebraska, Nevada, and Ore gon, as also of all the Territories, is still the property of theFederal Union, and is known as the Public Domain. 2. While much of this Domain! is sterile, rocky, mountainous, and thus unfit for cultivation, a large proportion is facile and excellent, including thou sands of square miles which, being treeless and very thinly grassed, have been accounted desert, but which prove quite productive when reclaimed by irrigation. 3. As a general rule, any part of this Domain not already granted to or occupied by private owners is open to settlement by any one. He who “ squats" on a tract to which he has no title, is regarded as holding it by Pre-emption. He is of course liable to be, but seldom is, dispossessed by a bona fide purchaser. 4. The Government proffers a quar ter section (160 acres) to any one who settles upon a tract to which no adverse title or claim exists, erects a habitation, and lives on it for five years. He has to pay for the papers and legal form alities required, abont $20 in all. This is called making a Homestead. 5. Congress has from time to time made extensive grants of land to States aud companies in aid of the construct ion of Railroads through the public domain. These grants are usually of alternate sections (or square miles) for a certain distance on either side of the FOR YOUNG LADIES, ATHENS, GEORGIA.

The following letter, addressed by General Hampton to the editor of the Southern Home, is published in that pajkfr in its issnfi of the 19th ; GoLUMBrA, September 9,1871. My Dear Sir—The Soidhern Home, of thc 5th instant, containing your editorial on the policy to be pursued by the Sontherh States in reference to the - next National Democratic Conven tion, reached me a.day or two ago, and along with it the letter in which you were kind enough to ask my opin ion on this questiou. Though I can not flatter myself that any opinions I may’entertain can have the weight yourlpntrtiolity would induce you to at tach to iliem* I most cheerfully comply with the request contained in your let ter, because it is only by consultation nii-i discussion among ourselves that wt-e tn hope to act judiciously and har- nt'i'iiutidy. ••• ., it would perhaps be sufficient to say th.»t i f jitcur' fully in the views you l ive’expressed, as to thc impropriety of the South taking any part in the ap proaching Convention; but, in defer ence to your-wishes, I give briefly the reasons which have induced this con viction in my mind. 1st. The Sontherh Delegates in National Convention could exercise no inlluepce, in shaping the policy, mak ing i>p the issues, jr selecting candi dates for thc next contest, without se riously injuring the prospect of Democratic triumph. That this would inevitably be the ease, is proven by the result of the last Democratic Conven tion, where the very presence of South erners was used to jn-ojudiee the action ami defeat the candidates of onr party. 2d. If the Southern could not with propriety exert any in fluence in the Convention, while their mere attendance in it might result in infinite mischief to the Democratic jiarty; it is surely the part of wisdom to refrain from participating in the de- )i!>orations of the Convention. 3d. The Northern Democracy will have to hoar the burthen of the fi] ' in the next Presidential contest, aw is only right that they should choose the. field and select the standard-bear ers. _ . . j. These, in brief, are the reasons, in conjuBction ! tritli those you have al ready so ably advanced, that have con vinced me tirat our true policy is to abstain altogether from nl! participa tion in the next National Democratic Convention. Of course, in pursuing this policy; we should take care to have our conduct and motives fully under stood iiy our Northern friends. We should sat to them, that we are actu ated solely by the desire to promote the success of DemiiWatic principles an iTVihocnitie candidatesV that we wish to leave them five to act, as the best interests-.of our party demand ; and that we pledge them iu the contest ail the aid v.e can give, only asking them to give us a gocyl platform, and a a .tedeptahlc candidates as thav can. Wliai. tlie platform is announced, and the candidates selected,, the Democracy of the .South ,can ratify the action of the National Convqntion, and they can use trvery effort to secure the success of the party ;’ for on dts success depends the -e»afoncc of.the Southern States.
