The most striking feature in the census returns of the United States for the last decade is the great fulling off of the per centum increase of the Myt population between I860 and 1870, compared with the periods be tween 1850 and 1860, and between 1840 and 1850. The usual increase ptr ctntwn of the black population for e*ch of the preceding decades was between 25 and 30.' The increase beMean M60 and 1870, is less t han Mpsr cant. • We call the attention of our read- • era to some Taluable statistics upon the last oensus returns compiled by the Savannah A’ewe, which will be found in another column of to-day’s isane of Thi 8cs. A. H. S. a Atlanta and the Georgia Wes tern K. R. “An Old Merchant” writes a short notice in relation to the resolutions proposed hy Mr. Nore roes to the City Council. He says th$ Resolutions are not property understood, and proposes to change their phraseology as follows: ■'Baton the city of Atlanta pays bar money or bands, liar* an agreement with the Company, that this city shall stand on tlm aae footing as to the prtoe of heights on said road, aa all other towns within two hundred miles.” The writer says these words cover the whole idea—the entire length, breadth and depth of the proposed measure. He declares that the sole object of the measure is—not to give Atlanta any undue advantage at all; hut simply to put her on an equal footing with rival cities, and not to be dis criminated against, to her disadvan tage. He alleges that all the roods cen tering nt this point, except the State Road, is controled bg rival cities, and fW we are discriminated against in the price of freights, to their undue advantige> which has always crippled Atlanta, and will forever do so, re pressing our prosperity and clogging our effort*; and that the Georgia Western is the last chance for us to get a fair showing and lie put on an equal footing. For these considerations, “An Old Merchant” urges the adoption of some such measure as that proposed. The Ce»<M of 1870. Forney's Press has the following comparison of the present oensus witli that of 1800: The increase of the aggregate pop ulation of all the States and Territo- riee during the ten years is 6,902,420, and the rate of increase is above twenty-one and nine-tenths per cent. The increase of the whole white imp utation is 6,591,793, and the rate of increase is 24.4 percent. The increase of the white popula tion in the Northern or originally Free Stales is 5,137,848, and the rate of increase is 27.4 per cent- The increase of the white popula tion in the Southern States is M35,- *01, and the rate of increase is 16.6 per cent The aggregate increase of the block pQpnI^.inn ill the United States is 338,385, and the rate of increase' is 7aftwr cent. The increase of the block imputa tion in the Southern Stutes is 188,963. and the increase is 4.6 per oent. The increase Of the black popula tion in the Northern States is 119,- 192, and the rate of increase is 52.7 per eebt The increase of the whole popula tion in the Territories, including the District of Columbia, is 184,082, and the rate of inerease is 74.9 per cent. This statement refers to the Territo ries .which remained in that condition in lfeSO. Nebrsekaand Nevada, which were-Terri tones > n 1600, had in the meantime become States, and are therefore ranked as such iu the table and in these comparisons. The increase of the white popular flotfjn the Territories is 154,315, and the rate of increase is 66.5 per cent. The increase of the black popula tion th the Territories is 30,3*7. and the Ate of incrcaae is 208.9 per cent. An inspection of the tabtes will show that the considerable Increase of the white population of the South ern "States has taken {dace chiefly in tholl on the Northern border of that •eriaan ; that is to say, in--l)etaw are, MaaSani " junuud, Kentucky'and'Miasouri. and-that a diminution of the number of tracks that have taken |>lace in thoae border States, except in Mary land, where the increase is slight. The greatest increase in the num ber of blacks in the South has talon plane in North Ci-r iljna, Tenues* e, Arkansas, TexgftJElorida and Atabo- m In die two'Virginias, compared with the old State, there is exhibited a loss of 18,000 blocks. In Georgin.l also, there is a falling off of blacks, and a considerable increase of white*. Other comparisons will suggest them selves to the intelligent reader who The Ohla Tornado. A Dayton dispatch of the 9th, to the Cincinnati Oosette, gives the fol lowing particulars, which are the (Id lest we have seen, of the recent torna do: Dayton and vicinity was visited this afternoon with the most terrific storm ever known in this region. It came from doe north, and for naarly twenty min ute* blew a hnrrieane. The following are among the moat serious disasters:— The large German Lutheran obmeb, on Third near Madison, wss blown down while the Banday-aohool wsa in progress Two men and a woman were buried is the mine and taken out dead. Several persons were hurt, four seriously. Moat of the teachers and the children escaped into the street in the rain when they heard the timbers cracking. The buil ding is in utter ruins. The bridge over the Miami, at Wash ington street, oapsjted into the river, and was crushed to fragments. A large num ber of persons were in the bridge for shelter, and all made their esesoe *x- crusued to eept three boys, who were death. A portion of the upper story of the main building of the Southern Asylum was carried off, and four patients in the convalescent ward seriously injured; two thought to be fatally, the otherauttgfatly. The damage to the building will proba bly reaoh fe,000 or 84,000. A large double brick building on Green street had tha root and portion of tbs nppsr story oarried off, and Mrs. Hel- mer, an old invalid, was seriously hurl A portion of the roof was oarried off the Third street Presbyterian church, and the tower moved nearly one foot out of place. The organ was also damaged by tiie flood of water whloh earn* in at the leak iu the tower. The spire of the Rev. Mr. Kemper's church on St. Glair street was twisted out of the perpendicular and threatens o tall. The tower of the Baptist oharoh on Main street was somewhat rooked, and several heavy stone projections on the First Presbyterian church were blown down. The Chapel, in North Dayton, wm carried off its foundations. The heavy ooraioe and roof stripped off Geb- bart’s large building on the oorner of Third and St Glair streets, and a Urge portion of the root from Brown A Go.'a wheel and spoke manufactory, was oar ried off, and portions of the upper walls were blown down, crashing in roofs and doing other damages. Shedding, fencing, valuable fruit and shade tret*, tall chimneys, smoke stacks, and everything moveable were prostrat ed and demolished. The sum total of the damage will be heavy, but there are no means of arriving at it to-night. Frightful stories of the storm oome to us from the rural regions, but we have not had them verified. A good deal of damage was also done by water. The tempest passed along in narrow strips, and did great damage where it struck. Nothing like it ever transpired in this valley in the memory of the oldeet inhab itants. A dispatch from Xenia of the same date, to the samo paper, says A florae storm of wind and thunder passed over this plaoe this evening. It — ntuint Q n'nlfUilr mi til rl oommenoed about 8 o'clock, with dark, heavy olouds advancing rapidly from the west and driving before them vast quan tities of dust, leaves, branches and pieces of lumber. Immediately afterward a whistling wind, blowing apparently straight as an arrow, rushed along the earth, dashing down trees, unroofing small buildings, prostrating fences, ana flying everything moveable about in the liveliest style. The storm, so far as 1 have heard, was the heaviest in the neighborhood of tho of the soldiers’ or phans' home. About thirty large trees upon the grounds belonging to the homo were prostrated, some being broken on like pipe stems and otherwise being torn up by the roots. One tree fell screws the oorner of one ol the oottages, carrying away a small portion of the roof and crea ting considerable alarm among the in mates, but doing no other damage. The new board fenoe around the cultivated part of the grounds was crushed in a half a doaen places. A rain then sat in and foil fiercely for an hour, the high wind prevailing the whole time. The clouds broke away towards evening, and there was a Bunset of great grandeur and mag- nifloeooe. The telegraph operator at this plaoe informs me that the wires are pro* Listed in various directions. Tut- Gold I’reuolc has a copy at the census of 1860 at ■Savannah i Aries, 11,1871. A fine academy is proposed by the jgqriemfUlMw. The New York Financial Chroni cle regards the advance in the gold premium as temporary. Until re cently the decline has been steady since 1809. The export movement, which is on excuse for the advance, is that tho Bank of England now in creases its gold reserve to a higher point than ever before, and is still increasing. >1 une 21 the reserve was £20,408,277, against 21 1-2 million last year, and 19 1-2 million in 1869. There is no evidence to show that this inerease is to be kept up, and little doubt that such a policy is necessary to the Bank of England, for the safe ty of that institution requires that it should repose on a much larger basis of coin than before. It is tho belief that an enlarged aggregate of specie will be held by the bank, which has givon, with other forces, an impulse u> our gold market. It is argued that, in large part, the coin required is to be imported into England from this country. But there is no doubt that this policy, which is attributed to the Bank of England, would have an in fluence of counteraction. Says the Clironiclo: For a quarter of a century the set tled practioe lias been that the bank shall not go abroad to buy gold, bnt refrain from all interference in that way with the regular movements of commerce, which cause gold to flow into or to flow out of the coffers of the bonk. When the gold balance of the bank runs too low, the old plan was to increase the rate of interest^ and to go on increasing it until gold began to flow into the hank. On the other hand, when the gold reserve was too targe, the opposite plan was adopted, and the rate of interest was lowered, the process being continued until gold ceated to accumulate. The Bank of France, by suspend ing specie ]layments, holds ft* coin %erve of twenty millions sterling [uitc aloof from the movements of commerce, and the international banking and commerce of Europe are resting chiefly on the reserves or the Bank of England. Henoe the infer ence that that institution, feeling its obligations, will strengthen itself, and will raise its reserve to thirty-flrc or forty millions sterling. Such are the arguments used in support of the opinion that our export demand for gold will increase rather than fall off. As to the rise in gold, tiased on the condition of ourpniicr currency, it is almost certain that the fifty millions of hank notes authorized at the close oflast saasion will not all be issued, lift to the present time the applica tions for new banks will barely reach twenty millions of dollars. And even if the whole should be issued, the equilibrium of the currency will be kept steady by the retirement and cancellation or an equivalent amount of three per cent certificates. The aggregate of our paper money circu lation is too large, and the excessive issues cause the existing depreciation. Bnt it is also true that from the ex tension of railroads, telegraphs and other business facilities, tne country requires annually a larger and larger amount of money to carry on its busi ness. Thus we are growing up to specie payments, and the progress of the country, North, South ana West, on the Atlantic and Pacific slopes and in the Mississippi Valley, is esti mated to have so enlarged the area for the use of currency as to be equiv alent to a reduction of at least 26 per ; last cent in the premium daring the five years. The true method to re duce the gold premium undoubtedly is to enlarge the field for the use of currenoy by expanding the trade of the oountryana developing its indus trial activity. Uvtai in the Past. “For Mr. Stephens’ culture, ability and intentions we have very great re- speot. But hie point of observation is bad. He dwells in a Georgia village. Eta is surrounded by old associations, old habiti, old notions, old books, and is, himself, an old man, much out of the current of that fresh and generous vitality whioh is beginning to pour its rich blood into the politics of the period. Mr. Stephens' salutation reads neatly and drearily. It oarries us backward, not for ward, and whioh wants to get away from passion, from violence, from failure, which wants to unite itself to a new Une, whioh wants to oat itself loose from a fes tering oorpee.” The above is from the Louisville (Ky.) Courier-Journal, of the 21st ult That paper has departed from the faith with the new departures, and has joined the ranks ol’ the so- called progressionists. We belong to the old fogy party, and believe in liv ing in the past. We wish to go back with Mr. Stephens to the goud old days. We wisn to recover lost liber ty and lost rights. The fundamental principles of liberty anil good gov ernment are as old us the human race, and yet this new party would have ns forget them because they are old. Be cause Mr. Stephens, with his gigantic intellect, is an old man, he must not be listened to. Because he lives in a Georgia village, he must not be heard. Because he speaks of the past, and goes back to first principles and tries to check his countrymen in their wild and headlong rush to ruin, it is said that he carries us backward and not forward. Well, personal liberty and the nat ural rights of man are old things. Rivers of blood have flowed in the past for their purchase and mainten ance, and will probably flow again, and the stream will never dry up till the end of of time. It is the old contest between liberty and good govenunent on the one side, and des potism on the other. It is time for all men to pause and look back a little. It is especially time for all who profess and coil themselves Democrats, to pause and look baok, and see how far they have departed from first principles, and see how rapidly they are drifting towards absolute despotism. Wc opine that the timo will yet come, ana that be fore very long, when Mr. Stephens’ utterances will sound still mere dreary in the ears of all who oppose right and justice.— Washington ((la.) Qarette. Important Labor Decision. The Massachusetts Supreme Court has just made a notable decision in a suit in stituted by a stone cutter to recover a cer tain sum of money—five hundred dol lars—exacted aa a penalty by the trade union, to whioh he did not belong, for outtiog stone in a manner oontrary to the rules of the union. The etone cutters employed by him were membere of the onion, whose regulations the employer violated, and hence the penalty imposed. The Coart raled that the demand woe il legal, and that a combination and threat to prevent workmen from beiug employ ed waa an illegal conspiracy. It seeips that the cotton interests of Brasil are on the decline. While the ex ports of this staple from Rio Janeiro in 1868 amounted' to 113,466 bales, they were in 1889 only 45,005 bales—an enor mous falling off—which was further re duced in 1870, when the exports from that port were only 17,910 (Brazilian) bales. The exports of cotton from San tos during last year ware 243,727 arrobas, eras’ to Mont 18,280 ball* of 400 pounds, whioh, added to the 17,910 bales from Rio, makes a total export of cotton from Brazil, for 1870, of 36,190 Brazilian boles, whioh is less in weight than twenty-eight thousand American bales.

Miss Evans' "Cupul vs. Cupidity,” the most humorous and therefore the most popular piece of the day. “Cu pid,” she said, “has ignominionsly fallen from his high estate of governing the world. Cupidity has dethroned him in the breast* of every lover, and asserted hie sway with a tyrannio role.” "Tits Passion fur Dress" was a scath ing satire on the extrsvaganoe ol tho times. “Ahiludiiuirianitnn,” by Miss Howes, waa a quaint, hnmorona essay, delivered in a graceful, coquettish, luuuhalimt man ner, that won the most enthusiastic ap plause. There were several interludes of music, in which Miss W., of yonr oity, waa al ways conspicuous. Their execution was such as it has rarely been our privilege to witness. After the exercises were over, Dr. Key, Bishop Pierce, and Dr. Hicks made appeals to tbe liberality of Macon for donations for improvements. About 8500 was raised for this purpose. Among the contributors, we notioe yonr fellow oitizen, Mr. E. E. Rawson, credited with tbe sum of $50. The election of officers of tho Endow ment Association resulted in the selec tion of Dr. Key as President, Judge Jackson and Dr. Hicks, Vice-Presidents. THE CONCERT, which constituted the evening exercises, was a brilliant success, and reflects un told credit on tbe very efficient teacher, Prof. Whitney. He eeeme to have magic control over hie students, for by the simple movement of the hand be keeps a hundred voices in perfect har mony. The solos of Misses Wight and Renfroe deserve special mention, as they were both encored. By far the most popular selection of the evening was "Johnnie Schmoker,” us rendered by a number of pretty yonng girls uniformed. The pantomime and mimic representations of Johnnie’s pipe, drum, tambour, viol, Ac., were sc laughable that it provoked roaring, tu multuous, prolonged, protracted, deafen tag, thundering, riotous applause. The Anvil Chorus, with which was com bined some beautiful calisthenic exercises, was admirably rendered as the breathless attention and after-applaose abundantly testified. The Oratorio, “As the Heart Pants,” by Mendelssohn Bartholdy, was very floe, but found but little lympathy with the audience. The capacious chapel, seating about one thousand, has been filled to overflow ing on every occasion, which affords proof of tho excellence of the perform ance of these accomplished young ladies, who iu our eye ore Hie indexes to a high er and holier civilization in days to oome.

ANOTHER RAILWAY MAS8A- CRE. Collision on the Newark and New York Road - Terrible Beenes. A terrible accident occurred on the Newark and New York Railroad on Saturday, which was caused by a mis placed switch at a spur used for car rying gravel on to the main (rack at Britrs farm, on the western boundary of Newark, and near the Passaic riv er. Dispatches from the scene of the accident state that the 8 o’clock train from Newark and the 7:45 train from New York met at full speed, both en gines being destroyed, and the smoke stack of one was thrown fully liftv yards into a ditch. The New York train ran off the up on to the down track, and cut right into its vis-a-vis and jumping from the track, bound ed down an embankment into a ditch, dragging with it the three foremost cars. The cars of the other train were completely telescoped. The furnace of the up engine set fire to the wrecked carriages in tiie ditch, and they were enveloped in a mass of flame and smoke. The shrieks of tiie passengers were awful. Assistance was near at band, however, and with the aid of some men who were work ing in the neighborhood, many were extricated from their terrible posi tion. Three new cars on the train from New York were entirely burned.— The train from Newark contained four cars, all full, which were teles coped, injuring several passengers, but none fatally. Four of the em ployees were killed outright, vis:— Frank Keenan, and George Hill, en gineers of both engines; Daniel White, brakemun, and John Rocha- fellow, fireman. A ronndlioiiscman, Samuel Taylor, was seriously injured, and Wm. H ooftinin. liniki-mniL, seri ously, bnt it is IiojkxI. not totally in jured. The passengers raont injured were David Anderson, Stephen Dick erson, C. W. Jnhnkle and Minnie Garrity, an immigrant, hut none fa tally hurt- Several others had nar row escapes and slight bruises. WHAT A PASSBynRH SAYS. A gentleman from New \ ork. who was on the train going from that city, at the time of :lie dis.s.c-r, spy., l.e aus in the rwi; cur at the time cl the disaster, and the first intimation he had uf the accident was a terrible shock, He was thrown over the seat in front of him and somewhat bruised. Picking himself qp os lest itches at the side oj impossible to stay by tearing the cars train from Newark can. The scene of •bout eight miles from THI KILLED AND WOVXOWP The New York Express gives tbe following additional particulars of the accident: ins of the two engines was Frank Kieroan, the engineer of tije Newark train. He was stiff breathing,and had both hia legs'|ind one arm broken, in addition to numerous seaere cats and bruises, and some bad scalds. Kier- nan lingered until half-post ten o’olock, when he died. Edwaraffanks, Kieman’s fireman wm terribly scald ed, and has, it is feared, sustained in ternal injuries. He was, however, slive, when the iMt dispatches Wore three imjar» sent from the scene of the accident, and may possibly recover. Within a few feet of the two men just men tioned., lay the body of the fireman belonging to the train trom this city. His brains had been dashed ont, and death must have been instantaneous. His name has not been ascertained. Search was tbep made for qhe body of George Hill, the engineer of the train from this city, but for some time the search was fruitless, and it was hoped that he had escaped. • At length, however, his body was discovered buried beneath a mass of iron and wood, from which it could not be extracted. The head and limbs had been crushed into a shape less mass by the force of tho collis- Bion, and had been afterwards partly consumed hy fire, kindled by the coals from the engine. After a few futile efforts to rescue the body from its horrible position, the passengers, with the surviving servants of the company, turned their attention to saving tne property from the burning cars. A great number of the passengers received painful bruises, many of them having been thrown violently from thqir seats to the ground; but as they scattered soon afterwards it is next to impossible to obtain ther names. A fortunate circumstance. It appears that the train from this city was almost entirely empty, while the train from Newark was as usual, crowded with business men on their way to this city. Had both trains been laden with passengers the loss of life must have been fearful, as the two first cars of the empty train tele scoped, and any person in either of them at the time must have been killed or terribly injured. WHO IB responsible P Great indignation was expressed on all sides at the oulpable negligence displayed in leaving the switch open, but the officials were unable to say to whom the blame properly belonged. The suggestion that the switch may have been pnrposely misplaced by some miscreant was not credited. In formation of the disaster was’ imme diately forwarded to Newark and this city, and a special train was dis patched to the soene to convey the passengers back to Newark, and final ly to bring them to this city. The disaster has been the cause of great excitement throughout this city to day, the newspaper offices having been besieged with inquirers after friends on the tram.
