Seventh United Slates Census
The Industrial statistics collected ill taking
the seventh Consas.are just beginning to reach
the pnblic, and present many interesting facts-

tnres in the United States, on the first ol Jun' >

chanical operatives c-ilpd into existence

figures give an average product to ench male
and female employed in manufactures the hand
some sum of $407. If the same person, had
been employed in agriculture, with equal skdl
and industry, and the products of their Ebor re
mained at the prices realized for all the agricul
tural staples, of the country. Ido not hesitate
to say. from a pretty thorough knowledge of
farm statistics. that the average return would
not exc-ed the half of $407 for each laborer.
A "real many mechanics and small manufac
turer labor for themselves, and the money paid
for wa-es, is alike uncertain and unsatisfactory
Therefore it would lie wrong to subtract the
sum returned as paid, (8240, 900.from
5127,900.0< 10 ami say that the remainder is the
net profits on the 8530,000,000 capital empl -y
ed in this grand department of productive in
dustry. The great truth of these statistics is this:
One million fifty thousand persons ol botii sexes
employed in manufacturing pursuits, (m iiulj
intending wealth creating machinery) annually
produce twice as much as an equal number em
ployed in agriculture. Ihe soundness of this
position will more fully appear when we get
the official figures showing the number ot per
sons employed in tillage and husbandry in the
United States, and the value of the annual pro
ducts of their labor. The agricultural statistics
already published reveal many curious facts.
Tims Maryland, with an area of 9,35<» square
miles contains but 21,860 farms ; while little.
Delaware, with an area of only 2,120 square
miles, has 46,760 farms. The difference m the
size of farms taking the whole surface into the
account, is about as nine to one. This, how
ever, does not exhibit the truth of the matter,
because Maryland contains a much larger quan
tity of land not included in farms, pro ruia, linn
Delaware Maryland contains7,o4o,ooo acres ;
while its farms include only 4,638,717 acres; ol
these 2,797,905 are returned as “improved
land/' and 1.840,912 as “unimproved land.'
'J he average size of the farms in Marylind is
212 1-5 acres ; and their aggregate value SB->,-
9 8,2571 being between jlB and sl9 per acre.
The culture of tocacco was considerably less
in 1849, than in 1839, acce ding to the official
returns. The recent census shows a crop of
21,199,281 pounds; that of 1840, wax 24,816-,
012 pounds. In the product of corn and wheat
there is an important gain. The crops of 1849,
were of corn 11,101,631 bushels, of wheat,
4 256.957 bushels. In 1839, corn 8,233 086;
wheat 3,345,783 bushels.
It was a great oversight in the Census Board,
not to ascertain the number of acres cultivated
to produce the leading staples of the several
states. The writer endeavored to get this def ct
H the schedules corrected before they were sent
out of the office for use, but failed, b -cuiiso the
value of agricultural statistics is not duly ap
preciated by one in a hundred 1 pointed out
* the fact, that the same space in ‘he blank schedu
les which is filled with a raturn of the quantity
of m iple molasses. (1,435 gallons) produced in
Maryland, woull give the acres planted in to
bacco; so too the same column that contains the
pound-of silk cocoons, (only 87 in the whole
State) would suffice to show the acres planted in
corn. Had the few gallons of wine been omit
ted, the area devoted to wheat culture i.i every
cousty in the Union might have been known,
and tlie yield per acre
Regarding truthful statistics as the basis ol all
wise legislation. I took a deep interest m the
arrangement of the Tables for taking the
seventh Census. In reference t> popnla un.
deaths, sanitary reforms, commerce, and mauu
factnres, the arrangement is admirable, ami re
fleets great credit upon its autbo. ; but in all
that relates to agriculture and husbandry, it be
trays a profound ignorance of the wh-.h- sub
ject. To give the crop of bers wax, boner and
broom corn, ill Georgia, Alabama and Missis
sippi, the land devoted to Cotton Corn and
Wheat Is entirely lost sight of. Information of
the highest practical value to the farming, manu
factnring and commercial in'ercsts, is wholly
overlooked; while the merest trifles are para
ded as matters of vast importance.
These rem irks are made with reluctance, nod

uo other way can the Legislature of Georgi i.
now in session, do so much t> promote ag.icul

the same coif, as to direct the collectors < f comi

and firn yield of the same, from year to year. ■

line: fur now h the time to use the labor and
money employed in agriculture in a uiore pro
fitable way. From Delaware to the Rio 6m
it is the prevailing error to spread out capii.il
and labor over Goltrge an area of land, fur its
econ«»niic;tl improvement, and the Irgbesi re
ward of the cukivator. When lire agricultural
statistics of Delaware, Maryland and V irgi ill
are all accessible, «o far ae they extend, 1 will
review them with reference to their returns in
rash and in produce, according to capital and
labor for the readers of the Chronicle & Senti
nel. Nor will the statistics of Georgi i and other
cotton growing states be ncgeleeted. Mary
land ha 526,524 fartnera; and one of the bent
evidences of their substantial progie in th?
last decade is the fact, that their crop of hay has
increased from 106,687 tons in 1810, to II», 70
in 1850. Their orchards yield about 60 per
cent, more money now than they did ten years
ago . This is a hint that ought to tell in Geor
gia. I wish I could praise the farmers of Ma
ryland for their sheep-hnsbandry and clover
culture : but I cannet. It is no more than jus
tice to say that both are better now than at the
previous census; although so (ar short <d
wlnt they should be, t .at I cannot command
either. 177.153 Sheep yield only 477,438 lbs.
of wool; whereas they ought to at least
five pounds per head, as they are mostly large
mutton sheep.
1 will conclude this st »te*fcal letter with a
few facts taken from a recent report made to
the English patliaiwrtL showing die agricul
tural capabilities *•?’ laud even in the cold ch
mates of Htydund and England (I condense,
and therefor* my own language instead of
tliat o>‘ the report.) 220 Scotch acres near
Edhrfmrghf (one fifth larger than rurs) are
xr'tgatcd by the sewerage of tlie city The
Sraes grown per acre is tons, of 2210 lbs tn
ie ton, a year. The ground lets at over 20 '
pounds sterling per annum. .Near Glasgow a
dairy of 760 cows is kept mostly -»n Italian rye
grass. A part of this is depastured, ami a part
cut and fed to the rows in yards or stables.
7’ru cw/h'Ngs a year of this grass, as thick as it
could well grow, have been realized in Scot
land. Mr. Telfer has kept 36 cows four
months, near the town of Ayr. on th.- grass
grown on 3| acres—four an one fifth acres our
measures. Scotch farmers are in some in
stances selling both milk and butter cheaper
than these articles are in Augusta, and nay as
high as 31*pounds sterling a year for the use
of irrigated land on which to feed their cows.
Mr. Dickinson, who has a tenacious clay farm
not far from London, es imates his yield of
Italian rye grass al fromßo to ICO toasa year,
according to the temperature. He gets from
cutting*. Butter made from this grass
sells at a premium of SM per for iw extra fla-
vor and color. These men all farm for profit
not for show. Compare the agricultural and
manufacturing resources of Great Britain with
those of Georgia, and see how vastly the latter
excel.

A S or pressed Portion of Kossuth’s Speech.
—The -New York Courier and Enquirer says
that the following paragraph was in th” manu
script of M. Kossuth’s address at the Press
Banquit, but for some reason, unknown to the
Couri- r, was not delivered, nor was it allowed
by its author to find its way into the n p;;rt cf
more than one of the Couriers coteinporarie.-.
It followed the paragraph alluding to ‘ a syste
matic compound of the most foul calumnies,”
which had “appeared a considerable ti ic ago,
in certain New York papers.” Here ii is:
‘ But one curious incident I may pc’ :aps be
permitted to state, which must be entir •iy new

•‘(was at Kntahia, a prisoner, when, several
weeks before the alluded to article app ared in
print here, I got by the kindness ofsoi.a* brave
friends from Vienna, via Constantinople, (mark
well, gentlemen—from Vienna.) a manuscript
with the intimation that it was a copy ot the
article which would soon appear in an Ameri

that very compound of misrepresentat mis an I
calumny to which I was alluding to. Now it : •

the secret cabin tof Austria: it may be quite
an innocent accident. 1 only mentio < it as a
contribution to the cabinet of cuiiosit - s ol the
world Let it be: it is not worth *hi!c to d* el

To this the Courier and Enquirer ad i-:
‘ Here is a grave, charge—a charge to ) grave

Milledgeville, Dec. 20
Gentlemen : Being here in the character of
.1 “ lobby member/ I have concluded to draw
the “ profile’ of some of the members of the
Legislature, Wiiicb you e n publish or not, as
you see proper. 1 shall begin w ith the Presi
dent of the Semite.
IIoN Anduf.w J. Mh.i.fr,
who I should take to be about forty-live years
of age—aud of small stature.
Air. Miller comes fmu Richmond and Co
lumbia, and lives in the city of Augusta. He
is a prolbuii:l lawyer ami successful practitioner.
He commenced his Legislative career in the
1 Senate in 1537, and has been in that body ever
'since, 'f his is his fourth session since the or
ganization of the Senatorial Districts, a dis
tinction. which he alone of the one hundred
thousand men in Georgia, enjoys. Well does
he deserve it—for there is no one. who better
understands the varied legislative wants ot the
State, or is better qualified to discharge the re
sponsible trust of a Legislator. Fan iliar with
tlie rules ofthe senate aud th'; “lex parlia
■ mentariu”—with long experience—he dis
; charges the duties of presiding officer of the
senate in a manner creditable to himself and
satisfactory to all.
Hon. John W. Andekeon.
This Gentleman conics from the. city ol
Sa.aunih —the seaport town ol the State. He
is about forty years of age —with a fine person,
and pleasant ni ii>ners. This is h:s first session (
in the Senate. He has frequently been a
member of the House, aud at Hie last session
was elected spe: ker, and as such made a good
officer. During the temporary absence of Mr.
Miiler. sestiou, he was ellected President
of the t-enate pro teni, 1 believe unanimously.
He is a quiet and unobtrusive man; modest
a! d amiable in hi- disposition. To “ know
him is to like him.” He pursues his legislative
career in a noiseless manner. He introduces
Ids bills-watches their progress—and at the
proper time, if need be, explains them and se
eiiivs their passage, hi him, his constituents
have a faithful representative; and judging from
the majority by which he was returned, in him
they have lOiifictinee.
Jlln. John L. Bird,
. Represents the counties ot Taliaferro and
Warren. It is bis first session. I suppose him
to be about twenty-fix years of age, and there
fore barely eligible to a seat in the Senate —
tlie constitijti mal requisition being twenty five.
Although a new and a younge member, Mr.
i Biid Las shown himself capable of making a
good Legislator. He is punctual in attendance
upon the sessions of the Senate —indeed, never
out of his seat. Hejbut seldom addresses the
Senate, but *x lien he does, he commands atten
tion. There i< a streak of wit. running through
‘TiTs hfeHTaT cWiposificnr,Tltat gives'a peculiar
iaciness to bis speeches.
There is a singular coincidence, with which
this Gentleman is connected. He resid< sin the
same county and in tlie same house with the
Hon. A. 11. Stephens and his brother, Col.
Linton Stephens. They are all bachelors.
At the election in October, the first was elected
to the Senate the s cond to Congress, and the
last to the House of Representatives. They
are all Union men and may be call' d emphati
tally the “ trio” of Taliaferro county : each and
all however, are worthy ■"f the honor centered
upon them by their constituents.
llon’ Zachiiahiah E.
Is the Senator from Monroe and Bibb, and al
though he announced himself, but the other
dty, as the youngest man iu the Senate, yet I
."liould t:ikc him to be about fifty or fiiiy-tive
years old— n good Senatorial age. 3 his is Mr.
Harman’s first appearance in any Legislative
botlr. He is «La wyer by profession and does
a •■ od practice. He wa several years ago.
• lior Genera! of the Flint f’ircuit. and made,
I understand, a fine prosecuting officer. He is
aviglarit, attentive and industrious legislator.
He is a man of ■ i*c hum >r and a good flow of
spirits. Never aM>ws 1/hiis-If io lose his tem

and forcible. He has a social disposition, aud

His visit to Savannah v. ii! long be n•membered
both by himself and the good 'flhat city,
who w ere so fortunate as to hear his speech
in which he mistook Champaign? for p r

Hon. J siphDai.
Is the Senator from Junes and Tw iggs. I should

portly in his person 'l’be name of Mr. Day

Central Railroad and Banking Company of Georgia.
We make the following abstract from the Report
of the President and Superintendent of Transpor
tation of this Road, which we find in the Savannah
1 papers:
Savannah, Dec. 16, 1851.
To the Stockholders :
The report ofthe General Superintendent of
Transportation exhibits to you, in a clear and
distinct form, the operations of the Road for the
year en ling the first instant.WFroui an exami
nation of it you will see, that whilst the reve
nue of the road has been increased, the expen
diture has been lessened. Whilst, fortheyear
1859, the sum of $362,889 69 was expended
out of a gross revenue of $688,245 41. for the
year ending Ist instant, only $341,410 11
have been expended on a gross receipt of
$748,207 86. The improved condition of the
Road and its equipment, promise like good re
sults for the fuiure.
The cash receipts for the year have been—
From Earnings prior to
Ist Dec., 1859, $53,686 33
From Earnings since “ 683,740 25
From Earnings of Bank 40,938 93
$778,365 51
The Expenditures have been—
For Road, $341,410 14
“ Bank Expenses, .. 18,l(i7 19
“ Interest on Bonds, 24 388 37
Protest accunnt 39 07—383.944 / /
$394,420 71
And dividends of 8 per ct. on the
General Stock, and dividends
on the guarantied Mock, have
been paid, 250,116 00
Leaving as an addition to reserve
fund $144,3’4 <4
The Revenue Fund has been charged with
the defalcation ofthe late Cashier, and it stands
at tis day at th“ sum of 9516 ) 837 57.
The sum paid into Bank from Earrings for
the year ending Ist inst., is $683,740 25
The sum uncollected is 61,467 (>1
$74*207 86
Ofthesum of $55,1 82 98 remaining uncol
lected at the ei.d of 1850, as per last report,
there has been paid into Bank the sum of su3,-
686 33, leaving unpaid only the sum ofs 1,396,-
65, which sum of 81.396 65 is covered by de
ductions, losses aud lines - thus showing the col
lection of a gross revenue of $688,2-15 41 with
very trifling abatement or loss.
The financial conditi n of the Compasy is
shown in tin accompanying statement, marked
A. The only prospective liabilities ofthe Com
pany amount to 8195,t): 0, viz:
Voted by the Stockhriders for Augusta and
W aynesboro’ Road 95,099
Voted by the Stockholders for South
Western Branch, (Fort Valley to
Columbus ) 10 *,OCO
$195,000
And this Finn is to he met by the Company’s
Bonds, payable 5 ami 10 years hence.
It is the sealed policy of the Board to make
no further subscriptions for Roads, and to incur
no further responsibility w hatever, without the
direction ofthe Stockholders in Convention.
The Company holds 5.'0.010 of stock ofthe
Milledgeville and Gordon Rail Road, paid for
by the old iron taken up from our road. And
iron will be furnished in the same way to the
Eatonton road. The whole line from Gordon
to Eatonton 38 miles, will be op> ued within
twelve months from this day, and it proves a
very considerable addition to the business ol
our road, whilst at t ;e same t me it is expected
to pay seven percent, on our investment in it
This Company now works the Milledgeville
and Gordon Road on that Company's account,
and it w orks also the Augusta and Waynesboro’
Ri.-ad. It has agreed to w.-rk the latter Road,
paying:o the Augusta and Waynesboro’ t om
puny 6 per cent, per annum on the value ofthe
Roa I as it progresses, and 7 per cent, after it is
finished. The last named line w ill, it is hoped,
be op med through to Augusta by the close of
the year 1852 and w ill be productive of great
benefit to our Road ami city
The President refers to the South Western, the
Columbus, the Nashville, and other Railroads, as
affording in time, and that not remote, the pr<)spci»t
of th.i.> most gratifying iu the Company
by increased trade and travel.

t I Dcflllx of Henry K. Deailwyler.
It is with die deepest regret that we announce
! j the death, at the Pulaski House, in this city, at
1 a quarter past ten o’clock this morning, of Mr.
Henry R. Deadwyler, in his 37th yea •. one of
‘ th? representatives Elbert county in the
f - State Legislature. He had been in bad health
J ! for some time, as we learn from his colleague,
» ! Mr. Thornton, and was quite ill j' st previous
to the session ofthe Legislature. He recruited
. somewhat at Milledgeville; but on the morning
. that he left for this place with the Governor and
r . members of the Legislature, he was seized with
diarheea. Itc 'iilinued the night of his arrival
. here, ai:d on Friday morning eventuated in a
I ! violent attack of cholera moi bus. from which
’[ he very nearly died on that day. He rallied
. from this however: but on Sunday the stomach
. was attacked, and a severe infl immation of th it
organ ensued, which terminated his life.
it give* us pleasure to state that Mr. Deadwy-
Jerwusiiot only aware of his situation, but was
calm, collected and resigned He felt assured
that the arm which had upheld the doubting dis
j ciple on the water, would not fail its support t;»
J him. He leaves a wife and several children to
. mourn his loss.
We knew Mr. Deadwyler well, and can testi
fy to his good qualities as a man,a citizen.anda
friend. We called on him frequently during his
illness, and are enabled to assure his friends that
he received the most assiduous attentions not
only from his colleague, Mr- Thornton, who re
mained with him, but from Dr. Arnold, our wor
, thy Mayor, who was constant in his visits.
Every thing was done that could be done by his
physician, his friend, his landlord, and by our
citizens, who were anxious to serve him in any
I way possible. He was most carefully nursed ;
and as for his physician, it is enough to say, he
had as good medical attendance as the city or the
Bfate can afford. But all this could not save
him. The hnexorable Despoiler who knocks
alike at the door of the peasant and the prince,
the honored representative and the represented,
had summoned him to that ‘‘country from whose :
bourne no traveller retm ns," and no power on 1
earth could stay his going. His death, though ■
a stranger, has cast a gloom over our entire
community.
His funeral will take place tomorrow at .12 '
o'clock. His Honor the Mayor has issued a no
tice to that effect, requesting the attendance of
our citizens and the members ofthe vorious Ma
sonic Lodges in the city, of whose fraternity the
deceased was a member. The coflin, made of
mahogany wood and lined with zinc, will be
placed in the Gaston Vault, where it will await
the wishes of his family and friends.

We have often urged the importance and supe

business of sugar culture are desirous of seeing
practical results, and every planter who will fur

Augusta Market. Dec. 21.
COTTON.—Our market opened with a good demand
on Wednesday la-t. which continued throughout that
day and Thursday, and the salej. during the two days,
were to a fair extent at 7J a S cents for Mi idling Fair,
: and 8 a for Fair to Fully Eair. On Friday the demand
1 fell off. but the sales made were at full prices, though
limited. On Saturday the market opened quiet, and so
' continued during the day. the limited sales being, if any
thing, in favor of buyers. On Monday, the market again
opened quiet, both buyers and sellers anxiously await-
• ing the Europa's news, past dii *. and holders found it
, d fficult to obtain Saturday's prices—in some few in
. stances lower prices were submitted to. Yesterday
1 Tuesday, the market opene I quiet. About 11 o'clock,
later advices from Europe, per steamer Europa, came
to hand, noticing a decline ol pl. in the Liverpool mar
ket. in consequence of unfavorable advices from France.
After the receipt of this intelligence, we heard of no
• sales, and close our remarks without attempting to
give quotations. Further a-h icos from Europe are
momentarily looked for.
