I perceive that your eminent and distinguished oitlson, Wm. B Rankin, has been confirmed by the Senate to the important post of register of £ho land office at OlympU, Washington Territory. ,v* The proposed Territory of “ DaootaV 1 (meaning “united people”) oomprises the west half of tho Territory formerly organized as Minnesota. The majority of its civilized inhabitants are half-, breeds, who live near Its northern boundary. Their principal towns are St. Joseph and Pembina. Aeteam saw-mill has been in operation at tho former place for some time, under tho auspices of amissionary. Port Abercrombie was established at Graham’s Point on the Red river last I am of the opinion that the bona- ftU inhabitants of that Territory have had but little to do with the oleotio>.B and “ messages” which have been said lately to have originated there. However, thore are many more settlers thoro than Kansas and Nebraska contained at the time of their organization. A Territory soon fills up after it is organized. The following sketch of Docotah is from Mr. Andrews's “ Letters on Minnesota and Dscotab " In the northerly part, the Mouse and Pembina rivers are among its largest streams ,* in the middle flows the large and finely wooded Bhayenne, < whose valley possesses a fertile soil, and offers many indaoomonts to Us settlement; 1 while towards the south it has the Jacques, the Big Sioux, the Vermillion, and the headwaters of the St. Peter's. In its supply of copious streams, Nature seems there tofaavs been lavish. “ Of tho Big Sioux river, M. Nlceilet says, Its Indian name means that it is continuously lined with wood; that its length cannot be less than three hundred and fifty miles. l lt flows through a beautiful and fertile country; amidst which tho Dacotaha, inhabiting the valleys of the St. Pe ter’s and Missouri, have always kept up summer establishment!! on the borders of tho adjoining lakes, whilst they hunted the river banks. Buf falo herds are confidently expected to' be met with hero at all seasons of the year. 1 The Jac ques (the Indian name of whioh is Tchan-san tan) 1 takes its rise on the plateau of the Mis souri beyond the parallel of 47 deg. north; and after pursuing nearly a north and south'oourse, empties iato the Missouri river below 43 deg. It is deemed navigable with small hunting canoes for between five hundred and six hundred miles ; bat ; below Otuhuoja , it will float muoh larger boats, i The shores of tbe river are generally tolerably 1 well wooded, though only at intervals.’ Along ! those portions where it wldons into lakes, very | eligible situations for farms would 'be found.* 1 | Th- ——- oarptorofsays, the most important tribn ; tary of the Jacques is the Him river, which ‘might not deserve any speoial mention as a navigable stream, but !a very well worthy of notice on ac count of the timber growing on its own banks and those of its forks. 1 He further observes (report, p. 40) that 1 the basin of the river Jac ques, between the two oote&ux and in the lati tude of Otukuoja, may be laid down os having a brerdth of eighty miles, sloping gradually down from an elevation of seven hundred to seven hun dred and fifty feet. These dimensions, of course, vary in the different parts of the valloy; but what I have said will convey some idea of tho immense prairie watered by tbe Tchan-tansan, which has been deemed by all travellers to those distant re gions neihaps the most beautiful within tho terri tory of the Unitod States. “ The middle and northern part comprises an do vated plain, of average fertility and tolerably wooded. Towards the south it is charooterized by bold undulatious. Tho valley of the Missouri is narrow; and the bluffs whioh border upon it ere abrupt and high. Tbe country is adapted to agri cultural pursuits, and though inferior os a general thing to much of Minnesota, affords promise of thrlfc and prosperity in future. It Is blessed with a salubrious ollmato. 1 Dr. Suokley, who accom panied the expedition of Governor Stevens through that part of the West, as far as Puget sound, says in his official report: which came overland by a special mes senger. It appears from the official despatches that the United gtit‘B sloop-of-war St. Mary’s errived very opportune ly at Guavmosou the 16th of November. The truth of‘bo ruiuor that Mr Aiuza who bad been imprisoned at Guaymnß and set at liberty, is confirmed. The com motions for the preioot had subsided, and the regular authorities wero restored to the position of the olty goTernmoLt The public mind was still abated by looal troubles, as well as hr political noiraosit eg grow ing out of the recent revolution in Bontra, The com mander of tho Bt. Mary’s found Frederick Gostiitz, an American oitizon, confl .ed in jail, and procured bis dis charge. The former bad not saluted thv nor the Prefect, end jt was not his intention to pay any milita ry honors to the Governor, Peiqniera, who It was said was on his way to Gayamas. PeFquiera was carrying on an active war rgainst the adjoining State of Oinola, and at Inst reports hud gained a victory at La Mogoa, near Culmoan, which opened the road to the city of Aliuafan, toward which ft was said he was moving. Inforra-.tioD haa been tecelved of the capture ot - GuodalfJ-iri, by Dogollado, of the Juarez pnrty, after > the A's&Bsin’tion of Biuiscau’o. the mll ! tary coin mindaut. The city bad been delivered up to pillage. When th‘s news reached Mnzatlan the inhabitants de termined tz defend their city against the Uonstitution , aes, at four cents per gat'on above market pnoe. The bill of Mr. Given wag paid, and that of Mr Henderson was evidently written in the same hand-writing. The bills were approved by J McClellan. The communication wav appropriately re lorred. Acoinmnnica'ion was received from Mr. Lu ders. president of the Frank for J and Southwark Railroad Company, denying the assertion of a Oouuoilm&n, which was reported in tne proceedings of the last meeting of Bele.it Council, stfttiog that the work of making con nections with other roads was t a .‘sacted after night, after the offio’al interference ot the Commissioner of Highways. Mr. Ludevs stoutly denies the above asser tion, and states that fl'l the work ihitwas done alter the action of the Commissioner was m< rely to cover two gutters with iron, so that general travel would not be impeded. Referred to the Committee ou Railroads. REPORTS Or O.)&UfITTEBS. Mr. 1711118100, from the Commit'ee on Girard Estate, reported an ordinance making an appropriation of $90,- 93d, out of the residuary fund in the Girard Estate, for tho cut-root expenses of tho col'ego during the coming year Also, au ordinance appropriating $98,- 000 out of the residua"* fund of the income of the. above estate, to meet tho expenses Of the Estates and Trusts for tue year. 1860, fo- water rems, salaries, im provements, gas lights, and widening Delaware avenue.

GootroDe a ask for $700,000. A motion was made to refer to GcmmUtse on Ftnano*. Mr. Nathans moved that the Finance Committee be instructed to add sl,6Cofor salaries for Professors of ; Latin and French, the teaching of which lan guages he thought necessary to tne usefulness of the institution. Tbe committee had bur $160,0d0. asked by the Controllers for tbe erection of new schoot houses. and he thought this tiaosaction should have satisfied them. Mr. Hl’lntyre said that $2,500 out of an appropriation of half a million was not going to lojare the High School. He considered Latin useless but was lu favor of appropriating $1,200 ns a salary for a French teach er. Amendment was lost. The amendment of Mr. Nathans was carried by a vote Of 12 yeas to IQ nays Mr. Neal from the Committee on Retrenchment anil Reform, submitted a long report relative to the Bityrd of Guardians of the Poor, and of Health, setting forth that those bodies c’aim equal rights with Councils, as they are elected In the *amo manner. The committee states that there is no certainty that the money sppio priatrd to these bodies will be property disbursed, and lecoimnends tbe appointment of members of these bodies, in the same manner ns the Inspectors of Prisons aro now appointed. The resolution was adopted. Mr. Ouyler offered an ordinance that it shall not be law’ul -for the Commissioner of Markets to rent any stall or stalls on Market street for a longer period than the 16th of April next. Indefinitely postponed. The bill from Common Council relative to the tempo rary lighting of the streets after the 31st instant, was concurred in. Mr. Leidy submitted an ordinance providing for the renting of twelve free stalls in the centre arch of the market-house, on Second street, below Pine. Referred to the Oommittee on Markets. ORIGINAL RESOLUTIONS A resolution was offered that the Finance Committee be instruct'd to confer with tho Receiver of Taxes to fix a tale for the collection of registered taxes. Agreed to. A resolution, appointing a committee of five, to act iu conjunction with a committee already appointed by ooromoa Council, to ascertain tho number and amount of warrants countersigned by the Controller and paid by tbe City Treasurer. Agreed to. The committee ap pointed coneists of Messrs Leidy, Loughlln, Bringhurat, Parker, and Beldeman Mr. Fisher offered a resolution providing for the con struction of an additional track on Dock street, east of Second. It was referred to the appropriate committee, who will report at ibe next meeting Mr. Nathans offered a resolution that the State ap propriation to schools, for the year 1869, shall be ap propriated for the errction ot new school hou'es in this city. Referred to Commute ou Schools. UNFINISHED BUSINESS. The bill relative to establishing market stands in certain streets was called np, and its consideration postponed. The bill relative to vaccine physicians was disposed of in the samo manner. The bill relative to the examination of contracts Tor the widenh g of Deiawaie avenue was passed. Mr. Coyler expressed his objections to this movement, because he considered it an unmitigated insult to the standing committee. The resolution was amended, on motion of Mr. Bring hurst, th»t no member of the oommittee on Girard Es tates ah>.ll be appointed on the said committee, and it finally passed by tbe following rate: Yeas—Messrs. Beideman, Commas, Davis, Ford, Kline, Lougblin, Leidy, MMntyre, Neal, Norman, Par ker, and Reed Nays—Mes-.ra. Renton, Bradford, Ouyler, Foster, and Thompson. The bill maklog an appropriation to the Receiver of Taxes was slightly amended and then concurred 10. That to the City Treasurer w« also concurred in. Tbe one to the Olty Controller was so amended that It can bo published in three city papers, instead of two. The Hems appropriate $1 360 fur the printing of the annual statement, which a publisher Informed tbe Chamber would ba sufficient to pay for the publication in three journals The bill appropriating for the City lee Boat, was also concurred in - The resolution relative to the railroad connections, made in defiance of law by the Fifth and Bixth-street railroad, wa* returned with an amendment, which adds, “providing the Oity Solicitor considers their action ll lejui.” Mr. Cuyler moved a non-concurrence, os he thought there was nothing to refer to the Solicitor. This oir por*tion has usurped powers to which it bus no r'ght, and has treated the authorities of the city with con tempt. The Oity Commissioner notified the party to stop the:r encoachments, and they defied him. After considerable dt-bats between Messrs. Cuy’er. Bradford, Cornmsn, and ethers, which lasted for fall half an boar, tho Chamber refused to concur, and the bill was accordingly sei.t back. A rsiolutiou was offered tendering the use of Indepen dence Hall to the Hon. Stephen A. Douglas, on bis way t.» Washington, for the purpose of a public recep tion, whioh was agreed to. The meeting then Adjourned. COMMON 000N0U*.

Mr, Wether ill moved to suspend the rule, in order to cons der the* res'lotion pawed by Select Council com* polling the Fifth aud Sixth-street Passenger Railroad to take up the connection with the Southwark and Philadelphia and Treotsn Railroads, which was agreed to by a voto of 60 to 12. Mr Dennis moved 16 amend by adding “ if in the opinion of the City Solicitor the connections have been in opposition to the act of Assembly, and ordinances upon the Bubject.” Mr, Miller moved to further amend that the Chief Commit a oner of Highways report to Councils by what authority the company baa made these connections. Mr. MnsohHP mid he it would be better refer the subject to the Committee on Railroads, as he uoilorstood that the connection with the Philadelph'a and Trenton Railroad was made over their private pro* petty. Mr Cooley desired a direct railroad communication between New York and Baltimore, through Philadel phia, and would vote for n referent* of the aubjeot to the Committee on Railroads. He made a motion to that effect. Mr. Potter moved to amend to refer the matter to the Committee on Highways. Mr. &»Dnls was opposed to soy reference, and thought the subject should go to the Solicitor. Mr. Wetherill opposed a reference to these Commit- tee?. Mr. Kills thought it “small business” for Councils to present obstacles to railroad transportation through PhiUdelph'a, Mr. Wetherill urged that the project would give the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad aa advantage over the Pen.aytvanfu Railroad Mr. Wagner sa d he had always been fearful that this eomjuuy would consummate the connection, and Anally freight would be carried over the same route, fie hoptd the resolution would pass without amendment. Mr Potter was in favor of granting facilities for p&a rengers passing through tbe city. Ho desirous of more information upon the subject, and hoped the rou- Uon to refer to a committee would pass Mr. Mascher said the Committee cn Highways had never given thin company permission to laydown the rails. M*-. Bullock confirmed this statement. Mr. Kelley said there was no connection of this rail* road with tbe Philadelphia and Baltimore Railroad but it was a connection of the Fifth and Sixth-streets Pas senger Railrcad along Prime street, so that the com pany could run their cars over tbe road, aud de prive a great portion of tbe residents of the I'irat and Second wards of tbe advantages of travelling over thoxoad. Mr. Handy replied to Mr Kelley. Mr. Bullock raid if the Fifth and Sixth Street Com pany had a right to lay a road al >ng Prime street with out the conflHnt or Councils, tboy bad a right to lay A road in Chestnut street. This company obtained permission to lay down a sideling, and tboy lay down a road along Prime street fie protested against any such action. • Mr Gordon said'some of the members were particu larly sensitive when tv corporation was to be touched.

Important Arrests.— Probably tbe moat important arrests mala at the close of this year have been effected through the instrumentality of the de tective officers assoc ated with Recorder Joseph Eneu. The capture of E. L. Snow, the notorious receiver of stolen goods, by Officer Joshua Taggart; the arreataid conviction of the notorious and celebrated Tom Hand, and the arrest of numerous other characters, of all grades, in overy section of the city, attest the fact tbat the Recorder’s polios force, in efficiency and prompti tude, ere second to no body of detectives in any por tion of the country For many weeks past the travel ler* in the different passenger-railway cars of onrcity nave suffered from the depredations made upon them ov numerous characters connected with tne light* angered geatry. To each a great extort bad three nefarious operations been carried on, that scarce ly a day passed without one or more persons losing valuable gold or silver watches, porte-inon* D , * oc * e^a » and other articles of a similar de scription. Complaints we r e lodged at the Central Sta tion, time after time, but no clue was obtained that would lead to the arrest of aoy of the parties suspected of beiog connected in the transactions that would pro duce the lost articles referred to. Yesterday, under ihe instructions of Recorder Eoeu, Messrs. Taggart,Carlin, and Ellis, by dint of a protracted and moat thorough search, succeeded in ascertaining the whereabouts of one John Pranks, a German Jew. whom the«e offie'als suspected of being a professions! thief. Our readers wrill TSifi ember that Pranks was arrested a few day* since. While altemptlog to pick the pocket of Mr. J. W. Newport, while on board of the Fifth-street*passeng«r railway ears. He wsa subsequently taken before Alder- ' man Olarke, whogommitt*d him to answer the above charge. Before being seat to prison the officers endea vored to obtain Mb residence,but he would give no sat isfactory answer, nor aoy clue which might lead to the desired information. As we have before stated, the above-named officers were finally rewarded by discovering that he had been an inmate of a very respectable board ing-house, and upon proceeding to the house, and giving a description of the thief, the landlady conducted them to bis chamber, where they discovered a )ar;e amount of valuable property, consisting of thirty-five dollars in money; one of the flve-dollar notes on the Western Bank hat written upon the back “ Good as wheat;” and aten-dollar note nad “Robinson” written on the back. A pair of gold spectacles, with the inscription To her son William ” were identified by a gentleman who resides in Chestnut street, and who bad them stolen a short time ago, while attending Birch’s auc tion. .Nina watches, several ii*.gs, and a'variety of articles of a similar description, veto all found in an old stockiog, carefally stowed away in his trunk. The valuables were taken to the office of Recorder Eoeo, and those having lost articles answering the above description ran have them by calling and identi fying them. Pranks will shortly be tried upon the above charges, and will doubtless receive the reward to which he Is so justly entitled. Sunday Cars.— The following correspond ence between the president of the Fifth end Bixth etceets Railway and Major Henry h»g taken place in reference to the above company running their cars on Sunday last: OffICB OP TH* MATOBOr the Oltr op PatLIDA., December 29,1858, Thomas H Luders, Esq., President Fraokford and Southwark Railroad—My Dear Sir: It appears by the report of tbe High Constables, of this oate, that the cars of the Vrankford and Southwark Philadelphia City Passenger Railroad Company were need upon their rail way for the conveyance of passengers on Bundiy eve ning last. After our very satisfactory interview of this morning, it is as a matter of form that I notify you that the run ning of cars over the City Pais’nger Railways on bun. day t is objectionable—being in violation of the laws of the Commonwealth—and that I shall feel called upon to use ail proper means to prevent the same. Thanking you for the prompt and courteous manner in which you have acceded to my request, I am, very respectfully, ALEXANDER HENRY. Office of the Frankfort and Southwark Philadelphia City Passenger Railroad Company, Chatham street, below Fourth street. PfijLAOSLrau, December 29,1858. Hon. Alexandra Henry, Mayor of he city of Phila delphia Dear Sir—Your favor of 17 th is at band la reply, I would state that I have declined all future car rying of passengers on our road on Sanday, either from or to Kensington depot, and that 1 shall endeavor to comply with all laws binding our company. I thank yon truly for the great personal kindness shown me in this matter. Yours, respectfully, TH.O9. L. LUDERB, President. House op Refuge.— Since onr worthy and energetic Mayor has enforced ths law against vagrants and street-begging, the number of children io the House of Refuge has been increased to 600'.' This is a larger number than has ever before, at any one time, been provided for in that institution, and it is confidently expected that If the work Is carried en much longer, every dormitory in the Institution, numbering about 640, will be filled during the winter. No one can have failed to notice the comparatively few beg gars who now frequent oar streets, particularly boya and girls, who not only beg, bat have no scruples in appropriating any little article that may conveniently be seised on to taeir ova persooai waste, and by this means ate in -a fine school for becoming profligates. The expenses of the Rouse of Refag*-,aie doubtless greatly increased by this sadden addition to the num ber of but the advantages society will derive by tnrniog so many poor children from the path* of vice aDd training them in a.proper manner, will amply repay the expenses inoorredln rearing them at this ad mirable institution. Hearing Before Becobder Enei/.— Oar readers will remember the case of John Devcreux, who had an attack made upon his life at a house In Juniper street, above Cherry, a short time elnce. The parties were arrested aod taken before Alderman Martin, and from the evidence elicited it appeared that two men, named Foley and Gray, were implicated in the trans action, and tbit Devereox alleged that some one had fired a pistol, loaded with a heavy ball, which grazed his shoulder and lodged in the wall opposite. Aider man Martin discharged the parties for want of evidence. Devereux not being satisfied with the proceedings, ap peared at Recorder Rneu’s office isat evening, but tbe case, owing to the uon-appeatnuce of Foley, was ad journed over until Monday evening next, at h&tf-past seven o’clock, when the parties are to have a final heariog. SIIJtttfBHAHHA CANAL CostrAKY—MeETI.VQ or thb Stookholpbbs,—An adjourned meeting ot the stock and bondholders of the Susquehanna Canal Com pany, was held at noon to-day in the Exchange. Messrs. S. Parke, of Lancaster, G. H. Abbott. F. Platt, O. Cambios, J. R. Fry, and Q. 8. B’ddle, tbe committae appointed at the previrus meeting, presented a long and elaborate ieport on the affairs of the oompaoy, which was read by Mr. J. R. Fry, in which the question of a general assignment is dfsousa«d and opposed, as inad visable. After some discussion, the report, with a series of resolutionsattaobed, was unanimously adopted A resolution advising tho creation of a second mort gage in order to secure the bondbo’ders against any pos sible contingency, was also adopted, together with a resolution providing for the appointment of a commit tee of stock and bondholders to confer with tho board of directors. The meeting was well attended. SiEianißO.—Tho sleighing in the country to be everything that could be desired, and our ruatto fri«nds will have an opportunity of paying many visits, which have beeo deferred nntil the slefgbirg time should come. The prevent auspicious season has been looked forward to with a great deal of pleasure, and we wiih them all a pleasant time. The sleighing in this oity is being enjoyed by all wbo can indulge in tbe luxury, but the snow in Chestnut street presents nothing of that bright nod glistening appearance which usually suggests fine sleighing, prcsentloe, as it does, the appearance of a bod of pewter sand Wheeled vehi cles drag along very slowly through this l>«d of mingled dust and snow, yet tbe slelgbers seem bent on enjoying to the fuUeßt extent, tho first sleighing of the s?aa«n. A Bold TTojian.— On Tuesday afternoon list, a lady residing Jo the vicinity of Spring Garden Hall, while stepping out of oueof the Eleventh-street cars, lost a handsome coral-mounted breastpin. The conductor of the car picked it up, and was asked by a female in the cars to be alloweQ to loos at it Alter looking at It for some time she returned it to him. The conductor handed it to tbe agent at the end of the route, according to tbe rules of the company. Early the next morning this woman, or an accomplice, called on the event, described tbe pm, and after ebtaiaing It expressed her joy at its recovery, stated that she valued it highly, having just received it as a present. In formation has been lodged with tho pol.ee, and it Is hoped sho will soon be discovered. City Railway Tracks Although tho present snow-storai retarded the progress of many of the city passenger cars, none of them Lave been obliged to cenie runnirg. The Fifth and S xtbstreots lino had an ingenious contrivance attached to i heir car, which constantly spouted hot air on the tracks, and thus kept tho snow in a safe co dition. It worked very well at first, but it was subsequently ascertained that the water thus produced was soon converted inti ice. Many of tho cars ran off the track ou Wednesday night, nod the Chatham and Frankforiroids have been running sleighs The tra ks of the principal ra Iroads leading to oorcity were all covered to considerable depth, am the differ ent trains were all, more or less, relarded. Procrastination— “ Procrastination is tbo thief of 11108,“ if wo remember rightly the copy-plate Which we so often wrote In our school-boy days ; and how often has the truth of the ob -w been exemplified !

FINANCIAL AND iCOMMEBCIAi; The Money Market. * PHn.A»Bi.MU, Deo. 80,1858/ The stock market was steady to day* and prices firm, with limited transactions. There Is no speculative de mand for stocks, and the principal bosiness is in bonds, of which the lower priced obligations of railroad com panies attract moit attention. . , The Allegheny city bondholders win receive payment of the coupons, due on tbe first o! Janaary next, at the office of Work, McOoucb, & 0© , 86 South Third street. Th 1 stockholders of the Susquehanna Canal Company, at their meeting to day, decided against au assignment, and a committee was appointed to confer with the bond holders sad the directors, and endeavor to establish a harmony of interests. The section of railroad between New London aid Stonington bai been completed and a combination of several railroad lines ruuuing from New York through. New Haven, New Londoo. Stonington, and Providence’ to Boston, affords a new railroad route between the two cities which brings them two hours nearer each other, and is expected to inaugurate a new and important era in the passenger and freight traffic between the two ci ties. The wealth cf the two ciil'S, collectively, amounts to not less than eigt t hundred millions if dollars, New York being estimated at $525,600,000, and Boston at $275,000,600. 8o great an advance in railway union as this between the modem Athena, which has, besides its learning, more property per beat than soy other city in tbe world, and the great financial cen tra of the Western Continent, Is one of the events of day, the future Importance of which can hardly he overestimated. The last few years have been feVadily disastrous to the shipping interests of our country, and the panic aid tbe consequent stagnatlonof trile,‘added to the former lack of business, has proinced apa'most total eesriition of operatona among, shipbuilders everywhere'in this country, Not,a little of this apparent calamity is tractab'e to our neglect of the sdvantsges offered by the employment of *team to navigat on by means of the screw. We were content to build failing vessels that were too slow or unreliable, or side-wheel steamers •that were too costly or expensive, until we were humi liated by the sight ■ of fereign-bailt propellers running everywhere with the great bulk of the merchandise oy the world, and proving formidable, and sometimes sne cessrul rivals of the tide-wheel vessels for the convey ance or passengers. We have l‘>oked on aod halted, amid a continual straggle with disheartening circumstances, for a good time that should come and ,give employment to our great fleet of sailing ships, and it came not. * Stall we longerleavd Roglaad to advance to a monopoly of the carrying trade of the world, and be content in' our debased position, destitute of a single ocean screw’ steamer to oompete with the propellers that so regularly succeed each other in oar ports, fall of goods and pas sengers which our merchant ship captains sigh for in vain ? Is it not time for our shipbuilders to enter upon this field at ence, and let the flr*t dawn of native hosl ness oo the Sf as find us preparing to take our share o* the advantages to accrue, from the revolution in com merce, quietly hot certainly taking place under cur eyes ? The trade of Madeira appears, from an official pspe r, to be languishing. Thus, in 1852 the imports and ex. ports amoanted to £281,760; in 1851 to £175,200 ; and in 1858 to £195,100. Of this. trade, £133,310 passed through British Teasels in 1653; £107,800 in 1851, and £122,600 in 1858. The quantity of vrineexported was 6,590 pipes in 1852 ; 4,205 pipes in 1854; 2,2*7 pipes in 1865, and 1,891 pipes in 1854. The population of hfa. deira -was 103,097 in 1856. The gold yield of the United Stales for the list twenty years is estimated as follows: Total gold produce of California....«. “ “ North Carolina... u ct (Jeorgia „ u a Kansas “ <( Oregon and Washington. Total . 1540.000 ,COO Gold product of Virginia, 8 OarrUna. Tea nedeee, Alabama, and other aoureea, Grind total. Our gold crop is therefore likely ts be for year* to come at the rate of a million and a half per week, or seventy-seven millions of dollars per annnm—equal to one-half of the value of the cotton crop of the country.
