LrOElft i* *aast complete cyclopaedia of rn-w
and interesting statistics. The following facts
k are digested from it, but the whole volume is
worthy of etudy lmd reflection :

more than a third of the area of
Norm America, and equal to the Roman empire
or that ot Alexander in their palmiest days;
1,217,562 miles of this territory is in the Mis
sissippi valley, and 766,002 on the Pacific. The
main shore line oMjje Union, including bays,
sounds, &C., is 12 609 miles, of w:.ich 6 861 miles
are on the Atlantic, 2,2Sn>on the Pacific, and 3.467
on the gulf. Ofthe continental shore line 907
miles are on the Atlantic north arid 1,256 south
of Virginia, (inclusive;) 1,764 are on the gull;
1.343 on t’ae Pacific. The distance fom New
j| York to New* Orleans is equal to that from Lon-
Pdon to Rome; from New York to Astoria by
water equal to that from Liverpool to Canton
by the way of Cape Hope. The total length of
shore of navigable rivers is 49,065 miles. The

slope. This region, which had in 1790 221,-
711 persons, in 1850 bad 10,344,746. If as

1840 and 1850. The average excess of white
males at each census over females, has been

R In the United States the number of and
their descendants is nearly S or 10 to 1 of those
that were imported; in the British West Indies
there are not two remaining for every 5 import
ed, and their descendants. About 10,000 im
ported Africans survive in the southern States.
About 2,500,000 slaves are connected with the
field work ot agriculture, in every 100 of whom
. 2 are employed upon hemp, 5 upon rice, 6 uoor.
p sugar, 14 upon tobacco, aud 73 on cotton and
other products. There are 347,525 families
fu* holding slaves, or 2,000,000 peisons. One fifth
k of the slave properties are in a single slave, and
Bt nearly one-half in less than 5 slaves.
W New York has about one-eighth ol the popula-
M tion of the Union, Pennsylvania one-tenth, De-
I laware one-two-bundred-and-sixty-tnird part.
K In the last ten years Vermont gained but ten per
B. , cent., whilst Wisconsin gained 886 per cent.; in
WF 60*years Deleware gained but 54 per cent., and
Hfe’ Tennessee 2701 per cent. There are about two
families to every 11 free persons in the Union,
B and one dwelling to a little more than six per-
P sons. The average age of white persons in the
Union is 23 years; of free colored, 24.54; of
slaves, 21.35; and the age which equally divides
each of these classes of population is 19 15 for
whites, 20 - 27 for tree colored, and 17 02 for
| slaves. Not more than 20 000 persons who were
r in the country when the Declaration ot Indepen
p' dence was signed can still survive. In 1850, lin
' « *j every 709 colored persons were insane or idiotic

have more than halt as many native born resi
l§L|Ujig in other States as remain at home; North
) Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia
one half; Massachusetts, Maryland, and
Jfew Jersey, one third. The largest proportion
of foreigners is in Wisconsin and Minnesota,
being about one third of the whole; the least
proportion is in North Carolina, being 1 to 229
natives; in South Carolina, 1 in 32; in Arkan
sas,! in 98; in Mt-sissipi, lin 62. More than
a quarter of the free persons born in the South
f have left for other sections; only one sixth have
lett the eastern or middle States: only one-tenth
the Southwest. 726,450 persons born in the tree
i States now live in slave States; whilst 232,112
/ born in the slave States reside in the free. 1,800,
L 000 foreigners reside in the free States, and less
' than 400,000 in the slave States.

the United States in year 1853 was 372,725;
in 1854, About 40 in every 100 Irish
live in the large cities, and about 36 in the 100
Germans. 56.214 persons born in the United
States reside in Canada.
If the United States increase in the next 100
years as last as in the last sixty, the total popu
lation would be 447,159,670; if as fast as be
tween 1840 and 1850, deducting imigrants, 252,
152,290. The most moderate ratio would give
in 1900 70,000.000 and in 1950 125,000.000, of
whom 64,000,000 would reside in the'valley of
Mississippi. The annual increase of the United
States has been nearly three times as great as that
of Prussia, notwithstanding what she gained
from Poland, more than four times as much as
Russia, six times as much as Great Britain, nine
times as much as Austria, ten times as much as
France. Upon the basis of past increase in 1950
France would have 61,000,000, and Great Britain
83.000,000.
There are 38,183 buildings usee for religious
worship in the Udited States, having accommo
dations for over 14,000,000 psrsons, and of a
total value, including other property, of $87,446,
331. There are about 30,000 clergymen. The
Methodists have more than half ot all the chur
ches. There are about 5 churches to every 3 000
of the total population. The churches of Char
leston accomodate a larger portion of the whole
population than do those of Boston.
The federal government has granted over for
ty-eight millions acres of land tor school purpo
ses, and over four millions for universities.—
Maine has a larger proportion of scholars at
school than any other state or country in the
world. Denmark exceeds the United States;
the United States exceeds alt other countries,
even including the slaves. Thus, there is one
person at school to every 4.9 whites and free
colored, aud one to every 5 6 of total population ;
in Prussia, 1 to 6.2; in Great Britain, 1 to 10;
France, 1 to 10.5; Russia, 1 to 50 ; Portugal, 1
to 81. In New England so admirably is the
school system that only one person over twenty
years of age in every lour hundred of the native
whites is incapable of reading and writing; in
the South and Southwest the proportion is 1 to
12 ; in the Territories,! in 6; in the slavehold
ing States, 1 to 12; in the non-slaveholding,
Ito4o ;in the whole Union, Ito 22. The pro
portion of the illiterate to the whole foreign born
is 1 in 12.
Thera were in 1775 thirty-five newspapers in
the United States; in 1810, 359; 1828, 852;
1840,1,631; 1850, 2,s26—circulating annually
nearly five hundred millions of copies. Os the
newspapers in 1850, 855 were whig, and 742
democratic. The public libraries of the United
States contain near five millions of volumes.
In the slaveholding States thirteen free color
ed persons in every 10,000 are in jails, prisons,
or penitentiaries; in the non-slaveholding 28 in
every 10,000. ‘About one-third of the paupers
on the Ist of June, 1850, were foreigners, al
though they constitute but one-tenth ot the pop
ulation.
There are 1,449,075 farms and plantations in
the United States, averaging 203 acres each, and
of the value, with implements, each $2,362 ;
about one-thirteenth of the whole area of the
organized States and Territories is improved
aud one-eighth more is occupied, and not improv
ed. In New England 26 acres in the hun
dred are improved; in the South, 16; in tht
Southwest, 5. About' one-sixth of the nation
al domain is occupied or in ownership. Th<
average value of occupied land in New En
gland is S2O 27 ;in middle States, S2O; southerr
States, $5 34; south-west, $6 26; north-west
sll 39 ; Texas $1 44 per acre. Os a large num*

Kentucky, 1 in 22 in Louisiana, 1 in 27 in Rbodi
Island, 1 in 56 in South Carolina, 1 in 198 ir
Michigan, cultivate less than ten acres each.
The value of the agricultural products of th<
United States in 1854 may be estimated a'
$1,600,000,000. Thirty-three millions acres o
land are in meadows, 11 millions in wheat, 31
miliions in corn, 5 millions in cotton, 2 million:
| in potatoes, &c., &c., &c.—113 millions in al
crops. There are 74,000 planters, producing
over 5 bales of cotton each ; 2,681 sugar planters
551 rice planters, growing over 20,000 lbs. each
15,745 tobacco planters, raising over 3,000 lbs
each , 8,327 hemp planters.

Health or the City.— The weather con
tinues cool and overcoats and fires are not un
acceptable. In exposed situations in the city at
6 o’clock yesterday morning, the mercury iu the
thermometer, ranged, we learn, 40 to 42 degress.
The atmosphere, also, appears to be very pure
so much so that several of our leading Physi- '
cians, whose authority on such matters stands ;
deservedly high, have, we understand, in an- I
swer to enquires on the subject, stated that there i
is no danger now incurred bv absentees and
strangers in visiting Charleston, consequently,
we have daily many arrivals, and our vaiious
hotels and boarding houses are gradually filling
up. We would recommend, however, those
who have not past the Summer with us to be
prudent on their arrival and avoid exposure.—

We see by the Card of the Deacon of the
Medical Colledge, that the Faculty consider it
safe for absentees and others to visit the City.
We have not as yet been visited with Black
Frost, but have experienced two or three heavy
white frost,sufficient to wip vegetation. Numbers
have returned to the city with the intention of
remaining permanently, and yesterday present
ed quite a busy scene.
Our Book Table.
We find on our table quite a number of new
and interesting works, some of which shall re
ceive further notice fiom our hands after we have
leisure to peruse them. At present w*e have
had, with few exceptions, barely time to do more
than glance over their pages, and to render our
thanks to the several parties, who have so kindly
sent them to us.
From Messrs. Thos. Richards & Son, we have
received the following works which are for sale
by them.
Party Leaders; Sketches of Thomas Jefferson,
Alexander Hamilton, Andrew Jackscn, Henry
Clay, John Randolph, of Roanoke Ac. By
Jo. G. Baldwin, author of the Flush Times of
Alabama and Mississippi, New York, D. Appleton
A Co., Publishers.
This is a most excellent and interesting pro
duction from the pen ot Mr. Baldwin, wh it
would seem never writes, without writing well
The Flush Times of Alabama and Mississippi'
was well received, and we think the present
wqrk will be still more acceptable to the public.
It contains sketches of the public services and
personal character of some of the most prominent
men, who have been connected with our govern
ment, from the days of Jefferson to the death of
Clay. These are eloquently written and show
a large fund of information on the part of the
Author, in relation to the political affairs of our
country since the Revolution. The writer is no*
bigot to any party, or blindly attached to any
man. He writes impartially and censures bold
ly. Those who read his sketches of John Ran
dolph or Henry Clay, will not fail to give the
whole volume a careful perusal.
Emanuel Philibert, or the European wars of
the XVI century. By Alexandre Dumas, New
York. Published byD. Appelton A Co.
Like every thing Dumas writes, this novel is
thoroughly Frepch in its conception, and abounds
in Melo-Dramitic Scenes. Still these scenes are
painted with such skill that the reader will find
it a most attractive romance. It contains over
500 pages, and is printed and got up in the usual
neat and handsome style of the Appeltons.
The Virginia Comedians ; or, Old Days in the
Old Dominion. Edited from tho Mss of C. Ef
fingham, Esq., In two volumes.
This work is designed to portray the manners
and habits of the people of Virginia, prior to the
Resolution. The w riter seems to entertain a
strong partiality towards the“F. F; V ? s.”
The Nursery Basket —A Hand Book, of Prac
uh in u/e proper contents of a Nursery Basket
and the manner of preparing “Baby-Clothes.”
It should be in the hands of every young couple-
Captain Canot ; or Twenty years of an African
Slaver; By Branty Mayer. We have before
noticed this interesting work andean only again
bespeak for it a perusal, which it will, well repay.
The Chemistry of Common Life —By
James F. W. Jonnston, M. A., F. R.S., F. G
S. etc., etc. No. IV.
A most valuable work, and should truly be
“read by the million. 7 ’
Messrs. Garrett & Co., pubiLheis in New
If ork have sent, through Messrs, McKinne &
Hall, of this City, the following works.
I he Ladies Complete Guide to Crochet, Fancy
Knitting and Needlework—By Mrs. Aun S.
Stephens. *
A very pretty little V olurne, and one that will
no doubt find favor from the ladies to whom it
is addressed. It contains full instructions in re
lation to all kinds of knitting andjnumerou3 pat
terns to illustrate the text.
The Cabin Boys Story—A Semi Nautical Ro
mance founded on fact—By the author of “The
Pirate Doctor,” etc., etc. A handsomely printed
and illustrated work and one that has been well
spoken of by the press. We have only had
leisure as yet to bestow a cursory glance at it pa
ges. It seems to be an interesting narrative of the
Adventures by Sea and Land, ot a young sailor.

Acquisition of Cuba. —The Washington Un
ion noticing that some of the British journals
have recently favored the idea of the United
States getting possession of Cuba, says it has
been the “unfaltering purpose” of President
Pierce to acquire that island honorably, and he
believes this duty to be binding upon him still*
no matter whether the question is considered in
its relations to humanity, to commerce, or to
freedom.
Additional Ltfe Boats for the Collins
Steamers. —The owners of the Collins steam
ships have decided to furnish each of the ships
with five additionallife boats, which, with what
they have now, they expect to be able to pro
vide for 400 persons, witu water and provisions
for several days in ordinary weather- Each ship
.will have eleven life boats, including the old
oues. The new boats ordered are of the largest
cla-s, and will be nested on deck, and so prepar
ed tha* they can be put afloat and equipped in
twenty minutes. Each boat is to be numbered
and have a crew attached, also numbered and
ticketed.

t A simple and efficient plan for facilitating the
posting ot letters in the most populous parts ol
London has been adopted. It consists of placing
pillar letter boxes along the leading thorough
fares, at intervals Os half a rnile or thereabouts.
, These hollow pillars will be fitted Tor the recep
tion of letters, and fixed in the footway, in such
a position as not to obstruct trafie of any kind,
and the Post Office Department will itself bear
the whole cost ol the construction and erection.
The letters are to be taken out every hour, so as
to continue the present admirable system of the
London Post Office, whereby any letter posted
within three miles of the General Post Office, is
delivered to its address within a period of not
more than two hours from the time at which it
was deposited in the letter-box.
Treaty Between the United States and
Russia. —The Union publishes officially the trea
ty recently made between Secretary Mhrcy, on
behalf of oi r government, and Mr. Edward de

princapies, to wit:
Ist. 1 hat free ships make free goods—that is
to say, that the effects or goods belonging to the
subjects or citizens of a power or State at war
are free from capture and confiscation when
found on boahi ot neutial vessels, with the ex
ception of articles contraband of war.
2d. T hat the property of neutrals on board an
enemy’s ve'sel is not subject to confiscation, un
less the same b.i contraband ot war. They en
gage to apply iue»e principles to the commerce
and navigation of all such powers and States as
shail consent to adopt them on their part as per
manent and immutable.
By another article tjje contending parties re
serve themselves to come to an ulterior under
standing as circumstances may require, with re
gard to the application and extension to be
given, if there be any cause tor it, to the pi in*
ciples laid down in the first article. But they
declare trotn this time that they will take the
stipulations contained in said article Ist as a
rule whenever it shall become a question, to
judge of the rights of neutrality.

by which one deeply endeared to his family and
friends—just entering upon an early manhood—

Chicago. 1i.1.. Nov. 4th — The Frightful Oc
cident on the Rock Island Railroad. —The accident
on the Rock Island Railroad, by which 30 oi 40
first class passengers were killed or wounded,
was caused by the train running over a horse.—
At the latest accounts all the sufferers had been
removed to a large stone building on Scott street,
in the village of Joliet, and the employees of the
Railroad Company, as well as the people of the
village, were using every effort to alleviate their !
sufferings.
It appears that when the engine was thrown j
offthe track, the two forward passenger cars |
were thrown on the top of it, and the steam es- |
caping, wasdriven with tiemendous force thiough
the dense mass of human beings packed closely j
amongst the wrecks of the cars.
The engineer, W. G. Brown, was fearfully j
scalded. His brother, acting as fireman, had both
of his legs broken. A gentleman uamed Caiter,
from Poughkeepsie, N. York, was terribly burn
ed and scalded. G. W. Albion, of Monroe coun
ty, Ohio was also badly scalded. Sarah Albion,
of Monroe county, Ohio, burned and scalded.—
Mrs. Cox, of Washington county, lowa, was se
verely injured. Catherine Laughlin, of Wash
ington county, lowa was also very seriously in
jured. Mr. Carpenter, of Canandaigua, New
York, was terribly wounded, and has since died.
It is feared 10 or 12 others will die. One ac
count says at least 40 passengers ate more or less
injured.

Chicago, Nov. 4th.—Eight more deaths have

not expected to survive.
Washington, Nov. s.— The Case of Captain
Gibson —The arrival of Captain Gibson in this

being supposed that his visit is in some way
connected with the forthcoming letter threatened
by Mr. Belmont, relative to his case. The Cap
tain brought a valuable collection of ornamental
work forwarded by Mr. Vattemare to the State
Department.
It is thought that Capt G. has some important
disclousures to make relative to the late minister

will be given up to the State Department. Capt.
G. had an interview with Mr. Marcy yesterday.

OBITUARY.
Departed this life at her residence, Stonoy Point,
Wilkes county, Ga , on the morning ot the 30th of
October,. Mrs. Martha Wellborn, relict of the
late Col. Abner Wellborn, aged seventy years, one
month and five days
The deceased had been, for a number of years, a
devoted and consistent member of the Baptist
Church at Greenwood, and ever adorned the pro
fession which she had made. She has left numer
ous friends and ro’atives, and six children to mourn
their irreparable loss ; but they mourn not as those
who have no hope, for they believe their loss is
her eternal gain. In her last hours she impressed
a full confidence of her acceptance with her Di
vine Mastor. Her sickness was protracted and
painful, yet she murmured not, having that assur
ance in tho atonement made ~for her by her Lord
and Saviour which destroys the effects of pain and
f.^ r^ c^s sting of death. Throughout a long
Uio she had been blessed with almost uninterrupt”
ed healih, having scarcely ever taken medicine
un'il her last illness. She lived to see all her chil
dren, but one daughter, hopefully converted and
become membeis of the Church of Christ; and
oh* may tbe prayers of a dying mother be answer
ed for that daughter.
“ Low she lies who blest our ©yes
Through many a sunny day,
*.he may not smile, she will not rise.
The life hath past away.
et there is a world of light beyond,
W here we neither die nor sleep ;
She is there ol whom our souls were fond.
Then wherefore do we weep.” W. R. W.

THE dispensations of Providence towards the
people ot Georgia, during the last twelve
months, are calculated both to inspire gratitude
and subdue the heart.
On tho one hand, they have enjoyed general
prosperity, and on the otner, in many sections of
the State, they have been visited by disease and
calamity. Therefore, in the recognition of our
dependence upon the Supreme Ruler ol tho Lni
verse, it is meet tha our songs of praise should
be tempered with deep contrition and earnest sup
plication.
Therefore, I; Horsohel V. Johnson, Governor of
Georgia, do issue this, my Proclamation, appoint
ing Thursday, the Twenty-third instant, as a day
ol Thanksgiving humiliation and prayer, and re
commend all religious denominations in the State
to assemble in their respective places of worship,
and perform such devotional exercises as they may
deem most appropriate and likely to propitiate
the favor of Heaven upon our State and Country.
