The coal men were much alarmed yesterday by learning that a heavy gorge of ice yet re mained at Blnch’s island in tho Ohio, which would endanger the numerous coal boatß that . had started out. Hotel keeping is one of the most profitable branches of business in New York city. Tho profits of the New York Hotel for the past year it is said exceeded 5100,000; the St. Nicholas $53,000 Astor $-19,000; Metropolitan $46,000. 1 The Prescott House, it is reported, ; cleared $16,800 during the .first three months after it_wos opened.

Tho most thickly settled State is Massachusetts, whore the inhabitants average 137 to the square mile, and the most thinly settled, Oregon, which only averages 25. If the entire country was only ns thickly settled ns the State of Massachusetts, its inhabitants - would number 396,087,961 ! And yet tho old Bay State is net so thickly settled, only con taining abont 1,000,009 of people. Won’t it bo a great country, when it gets settled, fenced in, and hoarded over!

The Sixth and Bevonth Wards of Pittsburgh are rapidly increasing in population; and tho prospects for the future are highly encouraging to property owners -in -that part of our city. There is quite a ohange going on in the condition of tho city, which is becoming every day more apparent. The ground in the four old wards is of late in great demand fpr railroad depots, and t sites for hotels and business houses; and peoplo nre consequently seeking residences in the upper or new wards of the city. Within the last year, a largo tract of ground • near the “Point” was purchased fora depot of tho Allegheny Valley Railroad, Tho Central • road has now purchased a largo property at the foot of Third and Fourth streets, for another de pot. Tho Connellsvillo Railroad Company, and the Pittsburgh and Steubenville Railroad Com pany have each purchased extensive lots of ground In tho Second Ward for similar purposes. 'And as thebusiness of those roads, when com pleted, increases, more ground will be needed; ■ and more business houses and hotels will bo to quirod ■ and tho people will bo driven, by the ■ force of high prices, to the upper wards, for lots on which to erect dwellings. -- We understand it is in contemplation by seve ral companies to erect ono or two largo hotels in Pittsburgh; as soon as desirable locations can ’be secured at reasonable prices. But “reason able prices ” is a term that means no old-fash "7 ioned pricos of ton or fifteen years ago. From two to three hundred dollars per foot front with convenient depth, on our .principal streets, is now a common price. Few dwellings will hereafter bo erected on streets, where lots boar such prices; when more pleasant lots for residences can be procuredata -much cheaper rato in tho upper wards. They will be more pleasant bccauso more distant from ■the dust and din of thronging business ; and from the roar and rnttlo of the railroad cars. This change and iuorease of value of ground are also driving manufacturing establishments out of tho city. Bolltnon & Garrison’s Foundry is already removed to Birmingham, and the Custom Mouse occupies their former ground. Bakewell’s Glass Works, and some other manu factories in that part of the city, will probably soon follow, to make room for the depots of two railroads nbovc mentioned, as tho ground is al ready bought. Manufactories and dwellings nre thus giving way to warehouses, hotels and railroad depots in the old Wards, and the new wards on the hills will, before many years, become tho principal residences of the great portion of tho citizens. Property in the new words must rapidly ap ■iate in value undorjuch a process. Back to First Principles. —Wo were grati fied this morning to observe a largo number of tbe butchers at their old stand.

Tho.bill intro duced in the Senate is to be referred to a sclcot committee; and the Washington papers intimate that the ablest men of the Senate are to have charge of tho subject by being placed on the committee. That this great work will not be undertaken os a government work, is pretty certain. It is equally certain, however, that -the 1 Government will give to it all the aid proper or necessary to its sacoeßsfut prosecution. The death of Capt. Gannison and his party, and the loss of his pa pers and surveys, is a serious loss, and may re sult in delaying considerably tho decision as to tho route lo be selected. 'A strong effort is made to secure the selection of a route so far South, as to pass through Texas. But, os Northern capital must, to a great extent, build tho rood, wo presumo Northern in terests will have something to do with tho ohoico of the route. - Tho St. Loais route is most central; and from St. Louis to tho Atlantio seaboard, railroads will bo completed in one year’s time. This route has tho advantage of an earlier start and easier acocss to the Atlantio coast. TREATY WITH MEXICO. Tho New Pork Herald says Mr. Gadsden, onr minister to Mexico, has arrived at Now Orleans with the now Mexican treaty in his pocket. It also states that by tho terms of the treaty Mexi co cedes to the United Statos 40,000,000 acres of land, including tho Mesilla Valley; for which our government is to pay $20,000,000. - There is no telling yet what truth tboro is in this report. Tho Herald is a little too fast in some .of its news—and it is necessary to wait for confirmation. We hope, however, the report is true. We can afford to buy out nil tbo northern half of Mexi co at half a dollar per acre, whioh iB the price above reported. Some of tho land may be worth less ; bnt much of it is cqaal in fertility to any land on the globo: and gold exists almost every where in those regions. Tho gold to pay the price can be dug out of tbe soil purchased in five years. It is the fairest and cheapest process of annexation, and wo hope the report is true. Forty million acres would make a Stalo one half larger than Pennsylvania. THE SEW ’ MAYOR* We regret that tho new Mayor of our city haß seen fit to removo officer Haguo from the office he so long and well filled. Mr. Hague's expe rience, activity and capacity in that partioalar lino rendered him undoubtedly one of the most efficient polico officers wo have bad for many years in our city. And we belieTo tho publia good will not bo promoted by his removal. Mr. Hague is a Whig, and wo havo no particular predilections in his favor; bnt as nn efficient and experienced polico officer, we should have been much better satisfied to havo bim retained in tbo service of the city; and we bcliovo very many of our citizens, without distinction of party, wil bo of tho samo opinion. figy* The Buffalo Exprcei says tho Pittsburgh Poet iB trying to extricato itself from an awk ward position in relation to tho Brio war. Tho only awkward position wo are aware of having been in, is in trying to keep our temper while witnessing so many evidences that Now York merchants and railroad directors have bought up quite a number of newspapers to slander and tie abont Pennsylvania, in order to induce tho Western people to travel on New York roads, and trade in New York city. Tho fraud will not Bncceed long. Tho pcoplo of the West are not easily deceived, and wifl scorn tho meanness when tho truth is made known; £@“Tho Forest City Democrat says: “Tho Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad is unfortunate in the frequency of its collisions.” F.vtrbody knows that is a falsehood..

BROWN'S STATEMENT. On the night of Dccember24th, tho swell first struck us. After tho machinery stopped, our resflel lost hor steerage way and broached to. She then shipped a sea which carried away 1 the hurricane deck abaft of the wheels. Major Tay lor and wife, Col. Washington, Captain - Fields, and Lieut. Smith, were carried away by this first sea. Tho next sea swept her decks entirely,and oarried away the cattle and the men’s sleeping place on the upper deck. I was fearful that the women would get out, and l fastened the doors when they went down below, in the second cabin. 1 then wont forward and was swept overboard, and at one time was asmuch as twenty feet from the vessel. There were several in the water, and three beside .myself were saved by tho waves throwing us back, After this all hands com menced bailing at onco. I formed the whole ro giment on board into reliefs, and we continued bailing incessantly for six days and six nights. Daring five days and five nights I never left my station, until at last my ancles became so weak I could not stand, and then I stood upon my knees until tho Commodore came and palled mo away. At the worst time of oil, and when we were shipping tho most water, one of. tho cor porals gave the alarm of fire. .At this alarm all thfiinmates of tho lowercabin whowere employed in bailing rushed simultaneously for tho door, and put an end to work for the timo. I then sprang upon a table, drew a revolver, and threatened to shoot any man who repeated the alarm. That quieted them, and they wenton with their work again. We were next ordered tD cut away the forward hurricane deck. During this a heavy gale arose, so that we were forced to lash our selvcs to tho guard lines whilo cutting. Bhethen shipped a sea, and I was again thrown over and struck the side of (ho vessel, being prevented from reaching the Boa by tho lashing line. While wo wero bailing, a young lady named Marriana Noland, came up to mo and wanted to take a turn at bailing, but I refused, and told her to go back to her berth. Sho afterwards died. Dor death was very affecting. She was attacked by snddon indisposition, resembling cholera. While the heavy sea was pouring over the decks the live stock became very unmanageable, and broke through the partition which divided them from tho men. Cqws, hogs and men were nil mioglod together, and caused so much confu sion that we were obliged to slaughter several of them. Daring the storm I was washed overhoard three times, and once jnmped in after tv daguer reotype portrait which 1 lost oat of my pocket, 1 lost everything, including $1,160 in gold, which was taken from my trank. Every trunk was broken open before it was thrown overboard. I found on tho wTcek a book with this inscription on tho fly leaf: —“ Miss'Lydia Merchant, from her friend, Mrs. Caroline Phillips, Newburyport, Moss., 1862.” The volume is one of a juvenile series, and handsomely bound. I intend to send it to her. Many of tho ladies exposed themselves unne cessarily daring tho whole timo, and one of them, whilo standing upon the main deck, in imminent danger of being swept away by the surf, 1 was forced to carry down below. The non-commissioned officers and men exer ted themselves to their almost. In fact, some of them worked until they dropped down from sheer fatigne. A man named Mit, a private of Company E, was on deck when tho upper deck fell on him, and his head went through a skylight in such a way that he was but slightly injured, excepting that a splinter of the wood Tan into his cheek, and, as ws could not extract it, tho wound heal ed up and it romains there now. Daring all the time that we were working at (be pumps we could get nothing to eat but bis cuit and cold water. One curious fact in tho affair was, that nearly all the sailors showed an unconquerable aver sion to going near a dead body. On ond occa sion the body of the carpenter’s brother lay with head cut off by hour after hour, and no one camo near it. Tho females on hoard evinced tho utmost cool ness and prescnco of mind throughout tho whole of tho time. Some of them woold come up to me and nek me whether wo were in danger, and when I replied that thero was great danger, but every thing depended npon our own exertions, they appeared perfectly satisfied, and returned to their quarters. Our reporter was shown a sword, battered and bruised with tho hard usago through which it had gone, which had been tho companion of Col. Washington through many years, and was saved by Lient. IVindor from the wreck, This, with the exception of a case of revolvers, comprised everything saved by this gentleman. STATEMENT OP ONE OF TUB CREW. One of the crew of the steamer states that Col. Washington was asleep in bis stateroom when be was swept overboard and drowned, together with Major Taylor and wife, Captain Field, Lieuten ant Smith and others, 110 adds : The staterooms swept away wero immediately dashed in pieces, and their inmates thrown np on the billows. No nttempt was made to rcscnc any, for all efforts to this end wero useless. Somo of the drowning men grappled at splinters and boards for assistance; others Bwom until smothered or tired oat, and many, without an effort, sunk beneath the sea. In that moment, those still on board themselves snffered ail tho horrors of death. Somo had relatives, and all had friends und acquaintances struggling lathe waves. Each tried to ehat his eyes, heart and ears to everything around him, momentarily ex peeling to join tho drowning Boldiore. Tbo officers of tfio ship went from man to man, inspiring ail with hope, and cheering them with promise of safety. Somo of the officers of the troops showed themselves os daring In this trying hoar, amid creaking cordage and falling spars, as they could have }>ccn amid clashing sabres and: gleaming arms. Maj. F. 0. WyBO, Llcnt. W. A. Winder, Lieut. 0. S. Winder, Lieut. Van Toast, Lieut. Chandler, and Sergeant Brown, of Company 0, were among the most- conspicu ous in their efforts to revive tho drooping spirits of tho passengers. TUB OUTBREAK OF THE CHOLERA. The Now York Times says the ootbrenk of tho cholera on the steamer was.occasioned by tho dissipation of a portion of tho troops, and of the white and colored waiters. While tho ship was at tho mercy of .the waves, many of these individuals, ns 1b too often tbo caao at each, soasons, determined, sinco they had given up the idea of escaping, to enjoy themselves boforo tho ship went down. In the confusion which pre vailed, the store-raom was left unfastened, and the contents wero too tempting to bo withstood. They accordingly indulged their appetites with out restraint. They partook of preserves, cakes, BWeetmeats, dainties of all kinds ad libitum, and thon repaired to tho spirit room, where they washed down their repnst with copious and un diluted draughts. Tho effects of this conduct unexpectedly mani fested themselves in . violent attacks of cramp and diarrhoea. Seme of tho debauchees died in less than ten hours from the time of seizure; others laid a day or two, whilo some recovered altogether. An offiocr states that noariy sixty individuals perished in this manner, some dying on board tho Three Bells, whilo on her way to New York; others wero pat on board tho Antar tic, so muoh reduced by diarrbaoa, as to give but little prospect of recovery. L. Winder givos a thrilling statement of tho inoidents that occurred on board tho doomed ves sel during tho pcrilons situation. lie relatOß the following in connection with the fact that a boat was sent from tho steamer to tho bark Kil by, and was unablo to return. On board tblß boat was commissary sergeant Molntyre; bo was oarried off by tho Kilby, while his wife and two children remained on board the San Francisco. Tbe mother nnd ono of her children died on board the Tbrco Belle, the seoond child, a fair-haired little boy of threo years, has boen adopted by tho soldiers, who tend him with almost maternal solicitade. He concludes his statement as follows: Previons to falling in with the Threo Bollb, a Bort of congestive diarrhoea broke oat among the men, from getting pickled meat and pioklcd cabbage. It carried off about ono hundred of the passengers, who were taken sick, and In a few hours died. An inoident occurred at this timo. Corporal Smith came to mo and Baid his child was sick, and in abont an boar after he sent word to me that he was very siok himself and would like to see me. I went to him and found that he was abont dying; soon nfter his wire came in ond told me that ho and the child were dead. I had her put into a state-room, and during the night sho was found dead in her bed, her only child then living, lying asleep beside her. Bhe was followed to tho other world soon after by her other child. On ourpassage to this port in the Three Bells we lost about thirty passengers, who died of the effeota of eating plokled meat and oabbago. The ... ..
