The tables showing the population of all the States, according to the census taken last year, havo been published. At that time the aggre gate population of the United States amount ed to 31,641,977, an increase of 8,449,991 as compared with 1850. This amount was divided into free men, 27,642,624, and slaves, 3,999,353, the former showing during the last decade, an increase of thirty-eight and the latter of twen ty five per cent.; the former, of course, being materially increased by immigration from abroad. As respects the different sections of the Union, the figures stood thus : / Free States, 18,802,121 / Slave States, 12,433,278 / TeriikrUi, Ac., 406,344 The first shows a total gain of 5,347,651 in habitants since 1850; the second 2,820,539, in cluding 795,040 slaves; the third have advan ced three hundred and thirty per cent.; but from these in to be deducted Kansas, (now a State,) with a population of 143,642, less the number of settlors near Pike’s Peak. The Dis trict of Columbia contains 75,321, which shows again of more than fifty per cent over 1850. The State which has made the leist growth in population is Vermont, showing a gain of only 1,707. New York shows the largest aggre gate gain, having added 754,169 during thede- cade; but in respect to ratio of iucrease, Cali fornia stands highest, having more than quad rupled her population. Iowa has two hundred and fifty percent, more than in 1850; Texas, one hundred and eighty; Arkansas, one hun dred and fifteen; Wisconsin, one hundred and fifty; Illinois, nearly one hundred; Michigan, fully ninety. Tbo others are all below fifty per cent, of an increase, except Minnesota and Oregon, which are omitted as uot having been States in 1850. The former has now 172,196 inhabitants, aud the latter 52,566. In the Northeastern States the growth of population is confined nearly altogether to the coast, the lower courses of the three principal risers, the four East and West Railroad lines, with the iron and coal regions of Pennsylva nia and Maryland. Of the Slave States Delaware and Maryland show a slight decrease in the aggregate of their slave population of which the former has only 1,805, against 2,290 in 1850, while the latter Las 85,382, against 90,368—a loss of nearly five thousand. Missouri has increased her slave population thirty-two per cent.; but in the meantime her white population bus nearly doubled. less than oue fourth of the population of the Uniou, it has now but little less than one third of it. We have included Missouri, although it is a slave Slate, because of its geographical po sition, and because its commercial and indus trial interests are almost identical with the States which bound it on the East, West and North. It gained a greater increase of popula tion from 1850 to 1860 than any other slave- holding State, and it now contains more inhab itants than any of them except Virginia, al though in 1850 it was surpassed by Kentucky,* Teunessee, Alabama, and North Carolina. It presents a very striking contrast with South Carolina, which, in 1850, contained but 13,457 fewer inhabitants. But the latter baa gained an increase of only 46,864, while tbe increase of the former has been 519,170. The total number of slaves iu 1850, was 3,- 200,412, and in 1860, as abovejtated, 3,999,353. The increase has been almost, exactly at the ratio of 25 per cent.; and while some of the States have fallen short of this ratio, others have barely maintained it, and others again have far exceeded it. In the first of these classes the State of Vir ginia, North Carolina, South Carolina,Tennes see, Kentucky and Georgia, may be ranked, their increase being as follows: Slaves in 1850. Slaves in 1860. Virginia, 472,528 495,826 North Carolina, 288,548 328,377 South Caroliua, 374,9S4 407,185 Tennessee, 239,460 297,112 Kentucky, Georgia,. Louisa L .Sheen, John F. Sheen "I LIBEL FOR DIVORCE.

IIAMMOND, J. 8. C. Avgust If, 1869. nov.12 1 a mth f.lmths. 235,490 467,461 la the second class may be ranked the States of Alabama, Louisiana and Missouri, vis: Alabama, 342,892 435,473 Louisiana,.. 244,809 312,186 Missouri, 89,472 115,619 In the third class are Florida, Mississippi, Arkansas aud Texas, viz; Florida, 39,309 63,809 Mississippi, 309,878 479,607 Arkansas, 47,100 109,077 Texas, 56,161 184,956 The increase of Missouri over tbe prevailing ratio will surprise those who have thought that Missouri was tending towards emancipation. The result ia in part, no doubtattributable to the gration she has attracted from some sec tions of the South, as well as from the North. In to Florida, Mississippi, Arkansas and Texas, a large number of slavea have evidently been ta ken, and in the internal slave trade traffic they, with Louisiana and Ala 1 auia.may be, therefore, considered importing States, while Delaware, Maryland, Virgiuia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Kentucky, are better prepared to act as exporting States. Georgia falls very lit tle short of the prevailing ratio, and has, therefore, probably shown little disposition to buy or sell slaves to or from the other slave holding States. The number of persons who have migrated from free to slave States, and vice versa, are not yet published; but the table will be an inter eating one, in view of the secesaion movement. In 1850, the proportion of the former was more thsu two to one of the latter. No section has increased so rapidly as the Northwest, which bids fair speedily to become the controlling region of the whole oountry, as will be seen by the following statement: Pop. in 1850. Pop. in 1860. Increase* Ohio, 1,980,329 2,377,917 397,588 Indiana 988,476 1,356,802 362,386 Pensacola. A correspondent of tbe Columbus Times, writing from Fort Barrancas, Jan. 80th, gives the following description of that city, towards which so many eyes are turned at this mo ment : Pensacola is an ancient town, having been founded at an early period by tbe Spaniards. Tbe houses are built in the olden style, with low narrow windows, and projecting roofs, which, in some cases run into a shelter across the sidewalk. The old and dingy shops kept by creoles in the same manner they were an hundred years ago, are very suggestive of tbe pent, and around them more old Spanish le gends cling, than ivy berries on tbe wall. The plan is regular and the streets quite wide, al though narrow when compared with the streets of Columbus. It contains several churches, a market-house, three newspaper offices and a Custom House. This latter is new and deci dedly the best in the city. It is a port of en try, the capitol of Escambia county, and situ ated upon the Gulf of Mexico, sixty-four miles from Mobile, in an easterly direction, and one hundred and eighty miles in a direct line west from Tallahassee. Pensacola bay has rare properties as a harbor, and cannot be excelled on the Gulf, if by any in the country. It is accessible to frigates of large size, there being twenty-one feet of water on the bar, and when once inside all the ships of our navy could ride in safety. The channel runs near the coast across the bar, which is short and easi ly passed. The harbor is completely laud-lock ed and the roadstead capacious. Tbe bay is twenty-seven miles in length, and in its broadest part twelve miles in width. It lies immediately at the mouth of the Escambia river. Running along the front of the bay for fourteen leagues, nearly east and west, is a long line of sandy shore, narrow, barreu, and so low that in a severe gale the mad waves dash over it. This is Santa Rosa’s Island, up on tbe extreme western end of which is the solid fortress Pickens, toward which our eyes aro daily turned in anxious anticipation of some stormy scenes. Santa Rosa stretches out to the Chattahoochee river. The western point, which is one mile in width, is at the mouth of tho bay, and from this point the land grows more narrow. On an average, it is not over a fourth of a mile in width, although in some places it exceeds this considerably. At high water there are many places where the waves run over the land, as I have previously stated. Near Tickens it is barren for a mile or thereabouts, and then commenoes a low growth of shrubbery, scraggy pines, live oak bushes and small trees of different varieties, it is too sandy for cultivation, and is of no manner of use, except to protect Pensaoola from the sea. and to form a reliable roadstead. The upper arm of Pensacola bay receives the Yellow-Water, or Pea river, Middle river, end Ksoambia river, eleven miles from tbe Gulf of Mexico. The outer shore of 8anta Rosa’s Is land is sometimes dangerous to incoming ves sels. The peculiar position of Pensacola bay makes it desirable as a naval station, as ex cellent positions for dock yards can be found in tbo harbor. When the Railroad from Mont gomery is completed, the facilities for reaching it will be so much increased that it will present quite another appearance. New stores will be erected, warehouses built, and other wharfs and docks for the accomodation of shipping. Capital will go wherever there is a chance for investment, and if I may claim the indulgence for prophecy, here will be an El Dorado for fi nanciers. It is true there is no rich back coun try to bring in its products to enrich the city, but this is hardly necessary in this case, al though desirable in any. The imports of such a port as this cannot fail to be heavy when the goods can be easily and cheaply distributed through the country. As a summer rostdence, too, Pensaoola must be delightful; for the town is pleasant, the drives good, the aoenery romantic, the water excellent, and 1 am told there is a fine breeze from the sea in the hottest day of summer.— The sunset scenes are as beautiful to me as any I have witnessed in the Bay of Naples, and every night when the evening gun is fired, 1 lean upon the parapet overlooking “ old Kan Carlo de Barrancas,” and gaze far down tbe beach aud across the water, until tbe dusky shadows of night fall upon the s£&. Then the light house lamps are lit, and its beacon-light flashes over tho restless waves for miles up the bay. To one fond of romance and history, or one who oan commune with hia innerself, it is no hardship to stand as sentinel at night upon the ramparts and listen to the music of the ocean-waves as they play upon the beach in the same mournful cadence they did npon the Euxine shore in the days of good old Ho mer.
