to find New England, but much to please
New Englander. It is certainly a perfectly
healthy country, being so high that the fogs
and miasma of tho low country Are dissipated
by the sun and winds before they rise to this
height, and chills and fever are scarcely ever
known. Lands are cheap, from two to ten dol
lars per acre, and all in all, it is a better country
fora poor man to settle in than tbo^ar West.
The climate is mild and delightful—the lands
easily cultivated, one horse being enough to
plow them—and all kinds of vegetables may be
raised with ease, and not one half the labor is
required that is necessary at the North. There
are traders on the railroad cars, who purchase
fruit, eggs, poultry, &c., at good prices—straw
berries at filly cents a quart, and none were

Ax Indian Stkatageh.—I learn that at Fort
Kearney there are now located several villages
of Pawnees, comprising soveral different bands,
and numbering five hundred warriors and an
equal number of non-combatatants.
On the day before the arrival of Gen. Har
ney at that post, a war party of Cheyennes and
Arrapahoes made a sudden descent upon one
of the scattered villages of Pawnees while the
greater portion of its legititnato occupants were
absent at tho garrison paying their respects to
the great Indian fighter, and succeeded iu over
powering the small party of Pawnees and dri
ving off all their aoimals.
Tbe noise of the skirmish soon brought a
large force of Pawnees to the scene of the dis
comfiture of their detachment, which immedi*
atety dashed off in pursuit ( of the marauders,
and after a short fight recoveretl their horses
and put several of the Cheyennes hors de com-
bat* The manner in which the attacking party,
oonpislmg of ooiy forty warriors, effected the
surprise of the Pawnees, is wortjjyoC-record; as

Population of the Globe
A distinguished professor of the Univorsil}’ of
Berlin, HerrlMetrieb^Jias lately addressed a
paper to the Academy of Sciences of that city,
in regard Jo the world’s population, *hd it is
generally agreed, that it is the most careliilly
preparediand most-reliable work that has yet
appeared on this interesting Eubjept, A ftqr some
detained estimates in regard to tho Gvo great
divfiioHi of thi world, hp arrives at tho conclu
sion that its present population i« tuxlvc hundred
and eighty-throe millions, aa follows:

present time, the mfmber ot“dealhs in a year
would be about 33,000,000, viliicli is morothan
tho entire population of the United States. At
this rate the avorago number of deaths pur diiV
is about 87,071, tho average per' minute about
011- Thus at least overy second a human life
is ended. • As tho births considerably exceed
tho deaths, there ara probably seventy or elffto*
humau beings born per minute,
Thia would undoubtedly have been given long ago
out for the fact that the Spanish Government pre
ferred to wait for the successful completion of the
Atlantic telegraph line which was then a matter of
serious doubt. Tiie main advantage to be deriv
ed by Spain from the Cuban telegraph, was ccn-
siilered to depend on tho triumph ol tho great ocean
enterprise, as Madrid will then be brought in com
plete telegraphic communication with Havana. It
is supposed that ihe Royal assent will be given im
mediately after the Atlantic line has been put into
practical opperation, and Mr. Teresas, who has
been at Madrid for some litne past to forward the
interests of the “Cuban telegraph Company,”
ill return to Havanna with tho ratified documents
>me time in September uext, when the company
ill be formed and go to work.
The distance from Key West lo Havanna is only
seventy miles, and the cost of laying tho cable, it is
said will be about five hundred dollars a mile.
The cable will be of “three threaded pattern that is
with the insulated conductors. Tho magnet
ic telegraph company haxe agreed to build a
branch from Savannah Ga. to Key West, so that
at no distant day New York can be put in telegraph
ic connection with Havanna. The advantages
of such a line to shippers and traders In New York
and elswhorc are too obvious (o need pointing
out.
The same company proposes to run wires from
Havanna to Cape Antonio, the extreme westerly
point of Cuba ; thence across the channel to Yuca
tan a distance of about forty miles, where it will
connect with; a lino already built to the
City of Mexico. They also propose to extend
the wire from Yucatan to Tehuantepec ou thcPae
