. Interesting Statistics ortho (Totted States.
The following was prepared in th Jolted
States Census' Buteaa, Department of the
Interior.
The land and water surfaces of he United
States are equal to 3,250,000 aquare miles—
land 3,010,370; water about 240,000 square
. .miles. The States embraee‘4,BC4;Ssl square
miles of landed surface,' and therTerritories
1,206,019 miles, as exhibited by the eighth
census of 1860. - The number of inhabitants
in the United States returned in IB6o'was'
31,443,321—in the States 31,148,046 and 295,-
275 in the Territories, thus showing an,
average. ■■ of seventeen inhabitants
to • each square - mile in the
States, while in the Territories there
are four square miles to. each inhabitant,
and exclusive of the District of Columbia ;
the territorial area would represent five and
one-fifth square miles to each inhabitant.
In 1860 Massachusetts had 157, Bhode Is
land 133, New York 82, and. Pennsylvania
'62 inhabitants to the square mile, which rate
applied ;to the United "States would give
472,000,000 in Massahusetts, 400,000,000 in;
Bhode Island, 246,000,000 m New York, and;
189,000,000 in Pennsylvania. Belgium, r
England and Wales and France in 1855 had
397, 309 and 176 inhabitants to the square
mile respectively. If the United States was
as densely populated as France our popula-;
lion would number 528,000,000, or if popu- j
lated sis densely as England and Wales, 924,-;
'■4)00,000; and if- according to Belgium’s den-;
sify of population (397 to the square mile)
■the United-States would contain 1,195,000,000,;
.which is 110,086,000 more Hfen the entire;
population of the world in 1866, - : Li.. . ’
In 7 this connection some statistics con-1
nected with Lake Superior and other lakes!
will be read with interest.
Sixty yeamago there was scarcely a craft
on these waters larger than an lndian canoe
-—now the tonnage of side-wheel steamers'
ialone is 100,600 tons. In 1841, the gross
amount of. the lake - trade, independent of
the property constantly changing hands,-
cost of vessels and profits or passenger
trade, amounted to . 965,000,000. In 1851, It
had increased to $300,000,000, and in 1861 to!
At the present rate of in
crease, the lake commerce in 1871 will
amount to the enormous anth of $1,000,000,-;
'4)00. In 1859, the northwestern lakes were
navigated by 1,600 vessels, whose aggregate
burden was 400,000 tons! They ware ■
manned by over 13,000 seamen, navigating
'>over.s,ooo miles of lake and river coast, and
transportingover $600,000,000 of exports and:
..-imports.'- Among the greatestrworks of in- ■
ternal improvement on this continent is the
• ship canal aroun d the falls of St. Mary’s, at
the outlet of-Lake Superior. It is built on;
the Michigan side .of the river, and blasted
through the solid; rock for a distance of
three-fourths ofa mile. The capacity of the
locks, three in number, is sufficient to ad
mit the largest lakesteamers afloat. The
' number of passengers throngh this canal in
1855 was 4,270 ; in 1857, 6,650, and in 1865,
A 0,720.
The capacity of the American lakes, for
internal havigationj is shown by the fol
! lowing table:

St. L. Biver, 70
Vessels drawing, ten feet of water can run
from the head of Lake Superior to the At
lantic Ocean, a distance of nearly2,2oo miles.
A large number of rich and. valuable furs
are annually brought from the - country
around Hudson’s Bay to Superior, ana
thence shipped to New York ana European
markets. These furs are now brought the
greater portion of the distance, in the winter
season, by Canadian and half-breed "pack
ers,” or upon sledges drawn by dogs trained
for that pnrpose. Initiatory measures have
been recently adopted for the construction
of a turnpike road from Superior to Hud
son’s Bay, which, when completed, will
vastly.increase the lake trade, and render
practicable the natural outlet for the pro
auction of a rich and extensive country in
our own and the British possessions.
The great inland sea is situated between
the 46th and 49th deg. of north latitude, and
the 84th and 92d of west longitude. It is 400
miles in length; 160 miles in width and 900
feet deep. The rapid settlement of the States
on its borders, and the completion of the
ship canal around the falls of St. Mary’s
-Biver, a few years since, awakened atten
tion to those hitherto neglected and almost
unknown regions. A glance at the map of
. North America is all that is necessary to
satisfy any reflecting mind of the important
advantages of Lake Superior, and the in
fluence it is destined at no far distantperiod
. to exercise over the commercial affairs of
this continent. In a few years at the far
thest, when the Northern "Pacific and other
grant land railroads are completed, it will
become the principal avenne of intercourse
between the eastern and northwestern por
tions of our extended country, and the com
: merce of Europe and Asia.

The Amendment or Impartial Suit race.
(Front the BMUmore American.]
The recent elections admit of brit one . in
terpretation. They indicate the determina
tion of the North that loyal men shall rule
a renovated land. This is the end that is
sought It can be attained in only two
ways: by the adoption of the Constitutional
Amendment, or by negro suffrage. If the
amendment fail, negro suffrage is the last
and the only resort. The loyal men and ne-i
groes combined constitute a; majority in;
more than half the ten rebellions States, mid:
by such a combination the Government can!
he placed in the hands of loyal men. . The;
all-important question, therefore, is, will the-
North, under such circumstances, adopt
negro suffrage?:. It is true that several
of the Northern States have refused to;
adopt it heretofore, and that it pre
vails in- only five ; States-at the'present:
time, but 'hitherto the qdestion has been;
discussed on its'intrinsic "merits. Now!
ii will come up ina different shape. Will it ;
he used as a rhesus to attain an end re
garded as of the highest importance? They 1
never-would have enlisted" the negroes as
-’'soldiers if that question had arisen On its;
intrinsic merits, but .when the choioe lay'
between the Use Of negro' soldlera and dan-;
ger to the Union, they never hesitated.-
The same : logic is used now as was used
then. Then it was said that a negro bnllet*
would kill a rebel Boldler; now it! is said;
that a negro ballot will klUarebel ballot.!
When the same arguments, are presented to
the same‘minds, will'not the same oonolu-i
sions be-attained? Besides, negro suffrage
will not. injure tnose States. There the ne
groes are ho more'than a drop of water in;
the backet. The census of 1860 shows that
the number of nudes over twenty are as

Fretrolenm and its Prospects.
The heyday of speculation in petroleum
and in petrolenm stockaJs over. There is
scarcely a possibility that the wild excite
ment which at one time agitated the whole:
country in reference to this production can
ever be revived. The reaction has been se
vere, and bv the reflux many valuable inte-;
rests have been Bwept away. But notwith
standing the depression in the business, and
the cessation of outside attention to it, those
who have been really interested in good
oil wells have gone on steadily, with
a wise measure of industry, and have
availed themselves of every advantage
which nature permitted. It may sur
prise many, who, in other pursuits,
have lost all sight of petroleum affairs,
that as far as production is concerned, there
has never been such a successful period as
now. There are more producing wells than
ever, and although the monsters which
spouted forth their thousand and twelve
hundred barrels in a day have ceased to
flow with any such profusion, yet the steady
yield of flowing and pumping wells is greatly
upon the increase. This can be shown by
the export statements, which prove that
since the first of January last, forty-two
millions of gallons of petrolenm have been
exported from the principal ports of the
United States; whereas, in the same period
in 1865 but fifteen millions three hundred
thousand gallons went forward. This shows
an increasing foreign demand, and also an
enlarged home production. We mast also
recollect that an immense quantity of this
product has been lost by the disastrous fires
which have taken place in Pennsylvania;
the damage being quite sufficient to have an
undoubted influence npon the trade. This
city is in a good position to command a very
large share of the traffic,and onr commercial
statistics show that the number of vessels
which have taken petrolenm exclusively
from Philadelphia, on foreign account, has
been as many as oneihunlred and t wenty
eight in eight months. This trade alone is,
therefore, of immense importance. It
brings vessels here, enlarges the sphere of
our trade, and is : profitable to all who en
gage in it. In coal, irpn, and petroleum
Pennsylvania has advantages which no
other State can equal, and it iB the duty
and interest of Philadelphians to encourage
‘ the development of those great staples by
every: means which enterprise and good
jndgment can suggest. —Commercial last.

jour make which were in the same fire, both ot which
preserved tbe books and papers were in them.
Yours respectfully,
