Why Mr* Buchanan so warmly Ad-
mires “Jo Lane.’*
The Secession candidate for tie Vice Presi
dency, Gen." Jo Lame, of Oregon, as he Is fa
miliarly called, is confessedly and notoriously
incompetent. Ho possesses net a solitary
mental or moral qualification, to entitle him
to a tnofnent’s consideration, •in connection
with either the first er. second offices in the
gift of the American people. His statesman*
ship is as defective as his gramruir, and his
grammar is .bad enough, in nil conscience, as
everybody knows. And yet “Jo”, is con
ceded to ho Mr. BrqiMNAN’s first choice, not
for the Vice Presidency, but for the Presiden.
cy itself'. “Jo” is the man, who, above all
offters, the distinguished “ old public func
tionary ” now in possession of. the White.
House would be glad to own and welcome as his
successor. He even prefers “Jo” te Bueokin
nrixjE, and to ail the world, and «tho rest of
mankind,” beside. “Jo” is his pet, “ Jo” is
the nursling of Execntivo bounty, “Jo” is
t!jo prodigy of Executive grace.
Now, when wo consider.« Jo’s ” absolute
Incompelency, this Presidential preference,
unexplained, would appear truly marvellous,
and many and manifold have been the specu
lations afloat in regard thereto. Until quite
recently, however, the myßtery has baffled tho
profoundest investigation. But, at length,
the problem is solved. At long last, (he se.
cret has come to light, tho mystery is made
cleat as If written with a pencil of light in an
arched sky. It is not Jo’s learning, nor Jo’s
patriotisnf, tier Jo’s statesmanship, nor Jo’b
anything of that sort, that has bo entrenched
him in Mr. BroifAXAs’s affections. No. The
miik in tint cocoa-butts explained by no snrh
argumentation. But, wonderful to relate, Mr.
Bucbaxan has discovered (or thinks ho has
discovered,) that “Jo Lame” it hit cousin,
being remotely re ialed to tho BHlfch-esteemed
aiid well-known Lsnp family of Lancaster!
Yes, the Sage of Wheatland has traced- tfce
tenealegicnl family tree, and has ascertained
at he and “Jo” are related! And now,

The Census.
TUore la every roason to believe, from the |
rosttlta which have already been made public, I
that the Census "of 1860 will exhibit a sur
prisingly great increase •, on the population-1
returns of 1850. There is little cause for
doubting that the population of; the United
State* is greater now than that of ’the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
Let no one imagiue that the Ceneus will be
entirely correct. Under existing arrange
ments this is impossible, because the enume
rators are allowed, hy the law, to spread their
work over many days instead of doing it si- ]
multaneonaly. In New York, where there are
many visitors, .those are included, by the
enumerators, who attend the hotels, among
the actual .population, and, no doubt, in
numerous instances, will also bo counted in,
with their respective households at home.
The vast number of . business men who will be
counted in <as Inhabitants of New Tork,
(though they live out of the city, with their
families,) wiil also swell up the apparent popu
lation of New York.
' The last British Census was taken upon one
day, March 31st, 1861. Thus there could be
no duplicate counting suoh as we have here
referred to." ■ There were 40,000 enumera
tors, who copied into 40,000 books all the
particulars collected by them concerning the
inhabitants of Great Britain. The Census in
Ireland was taken hy the police and assistants-
After the returns were handed in to the pro-
per persons, they were subjected to revision
anA necessary instructions. .They then passed
into the hands of a higher class of officials.
who were required to test the accuracy ot
their contents by a further process of revision.
Though the British Census was taken simul
taneously on the 81st of March, 1851, the re
vised Returns were not sent to the Census Of
fice until tho first day of June. This allowed
two months for preparing, copying, and revi-
sing the Returns, The peculiar anil sensible
fbatqra oftlie British Census was, that it was
takeh, all over the Kingdom, upon one and the
same day. The previous Consus was taken,
68 Says l iter, on June 7th, 1841. As an inva
riable rule, seamen and others on board ves
sels on tho might of March 31st, 1851, were
counted in.
Tho following totals of population may be
interesting at the present t nio:
18(0', . 1850.
..17.069,-153 ■ 23 191 876
1811 1851
Great Britain & 1re1an5..?6j539,385 2r,5 >2,262
The comparatively small increase, i} u >' n B
ten years, in the population of Great Britain
and Ireland, is accounted for by the fact
flint the Irish population In 1851 was 1.659,-
380 fewer than that of 1841. Famine, sick
ness, and emigration had thinned the Irish in
habitants very considerably. It is expected
that the Census of 1861 will show a still far
ther diminution in Ireland. Its population in
1681 tyill he 2,000.000 lower than it wa9 in
1841.

The Viluce of Wales at Independence
Now, sinco tiro Frince of Wales has fairly
landed upon the shores of the New World,
we suppose there ijt no doubt he will soon pay
his contemplated -visit to our country, and
probably spend some time at Philadelphia, as
well as at Other Important Eastern cities.
There would be a historic interest in a visit
from him to Independence Hall which would
render it the most moiportbio incident of his
American tour. It would form one of the
strongest proofs that could be given of tho sin
cere amity and friendship now existing between
the United States and England. They have
passed through an ordeal, and borne to eacli
other a variety of relations unparalleled in the
history of avy other two countries. 4-t the
outset Mother and Daughter, a bitter and pro
tracted struggle severed the strong ties which
originally bonud them together. Then came
;t long period- when tho animosities engen
dered by this terrible strife constantly found
vent in minor acts of hostility which evontually
led to a second War of Independence, almost
as vindictive and sanguinary aa the first.
Then succeeded an era when mutual ill
feeling and animosity was hut partially con
cealed, when a long series of diplomatic dis
putes repeatedly threatened renewed appeals
toaim.i, -nrben no literature was so popular in
either country as envenomed ahtt6o and t»iore
presentation of the other. Bat—
these has advanced in
Tvuaitii and power, until it now elevates Its
head among Ihe nations of the earth, as an
equal with the proudest of them, she feels
she can afford to be magnanimous, and cor
dially reciprocate, cyon to her quondam enemy,
the kindly greetings which ure gracefully ex
tended to her.
if fte Prince of W"alks enters tho Hall now
sacred to oyery American as the birth-place
ot our Independence, such associations will
be cilled up as wilt profoundly Impress hipojvitU
the reuiarkuble intercourse of the two nations,

Letter from Mound City.

Mound City, 111., July 24, iB6O.
Deir Press: As a letter from this flourishing
and prosperous town, which, although now scarcely
more than four yeaie old, contains a population of
nearly three thousand, and bids fair, a£ no distant
day, to become one of the most important points rf
tho groat West, might provo Interesting to your
roAders, “ I toko my pen in hand,” as tho school
boys say, to address thorn.
Although we live in tbo lower srotton ef Illinois,
# ln the land irreverently called Egjpt, you will be
greatly mistaken if you condemn this region 88 un
enlightened and unlmproving- On tho contrary,
it is not only ono of the most fertile portions of the
Union, but, being near its geographical centre, and
In tbo very heart of the Mifsiasippi Veiley, we
feel that *t is destined to become one of the most
prodoetiro, wealthy, and Important, at no distant
period.
The great Illinois Southern Railrnpd, now being
ocmstroctoa between this point and Vincennes, In
diana, will, when completed, form a very dlnot
ohaln of railway connection with your oily. Fifty
four miles of iho eastern portion of the route have
now been graded, and are ready to receive the iron
'ails By glancing at our position, a few milts
above the junction of the Ohio with tho Mississippi,
on any map of tbo United States, you will also peT
celvo bow admirably it is adapted by Nature to
form a great entrepot for the produce of tho West,
snd for a western terminus for any great Tines of
railway from tho Atlantic ports, particularly from
such points ns Norfolk, Virginia, or your oity.
A large occasion to our population is expected
daring tho earning fall, when a further sale of to*n
lots, undor tho auspices of the Emporium Real Es
tate and Manufacturing Company, will bo held,
and in tho succeeding winter ond spring. At this
time business is not particularly brisk. Tbo
formers of tho surrounding country have reoeßtly
gathered in their crops, which have been re
markably prolific. A number of largo steamboat*
oro lying at our wharf, some of whiofa are here for
repairs at the great Marine Railway Works of
this city.
Politically, tho current of feeling is vory strong
in favor of our great statesman, Douglas, and in no
part of the Union nlll ho bo amro unanimously
sustained than in Boutbern Illinois. Tho propor
tion of Bell, Breckinridge, and Lincoln, to the
whole numW of voters, is quite small. A new
paper, devoted to the support of Dougins, Is in
contemplation, and *lll probably bo established
soon. Truly yours, Pjsnnbtlvanian.

WASHINGTON COERESPONDENCE,
.Letter.from <6 Nox* 9T
[Gorresfondence of The Press-}
Washington, Jnly 27,
The Breckinridge men now gtve.it up. 'Jhey
concede thet there ta not the smallest possible hope
to elect Breckinridge by tho popular vote They
hoped by a fusion ticket to mooted at loast in
Pennsylvania and New Jersey. They told tho
Southern peoplo that Breckinridge could not. fnl
to o«try thosa States.
But, unfortunately, oucmnsUnoes have occurred
: which let our Di/mnionifita appear in tho South as
I false prophelp. The Doughs men, well under*
standing the game of’pfi'este wily politician*, are
against fas ioh. In Pennsylvania and NewTork.
they have indignantly repelled every idea of a
tainting alllatwo with trailers and'fleo'edera. In
I their eyes s deserter from the ranks in time of war
I is worse than an open enemy—he stands even be*
1 neath the latter, and ail that bo can expect Is
I cither'to be court-martlalled and .shot, or tdbepar
doned after having given proofs of sincerely re-
I panting tho (neatest of all crimes—to forsake his
ftiends in time of need
The Breckinridge men in Now Jersey have sadly
disappointed our 'wirepullers. It was expected,
ami even posidvoly asserted, that they at least
would be successful io forming a fusion ticket.
Weil, they have fused with tho other parties, but
none has so low descended to return tho compli-
ment and fuso with them. Their'ticket'is com
posed of two Breckinridge men, two Dooglas moo,
and three Bell men. Tho Donglos men; have held
their Convention without taking the least notice of
the Breckinridge liefcot. They have not even
adopted tho two Douglas men on that ticket. Tbe
Bell men have, it Is true, placed tho three -Ameri-
cans on their ticket, but they have omitted to d -
the same with tho two Brechiuridgo men. Thus,
whilst tho “ trim” nationals fused wllh everybody*,
nobody felt inclined to have anything to do With
them They were treated as “DonHeo.” Nofimc
tangtre! ought to be their motto inscribed anon
tkoir standards. Here iu Washington tbe Breck
loridge mon curse and swear most lustily at the
ill success of tho Jerseymen Thoy give them ail
kinds of names, Amhnpenly declare that they bnvo
ao«edlike fools woo know noting political
managing. They do not dare 85 much abo-ifc the
loss of that State, as about, tho terrible and dis-
astrous effect it must have upon tho Sou/hern
people, who now dearly see that tho Breckinridge
party in' tho North is a humbug, and that they
throw tboir votes away if they rote for the Be*
cederd ticket I hoard yesterday come leading
“ true Nationals u unhesitatingly deolaro -that in
rboir opinion everything was lost, and all that
by tbe bad and foolish mncctuvriiig in tlie north.
The olerks in tho Departments arc oalled upon
to “ bleed’* for the good cuuso Not lees than $l6
perifian tbiy aro asked to contribute to difeat tbe
; Democratic party. C)f course, if a Republican
| President should "bo eleotod, tho most of them will
j bo turoed out of office, and, therefore, it ia most
I uncharitable that thoy are compelled, by monetary
[ -Jicnflo-is, to assist in bringing on that event.
*Mr. Brown, member if Congress from Kentucky,
has written a letter m favor of Douglas and John
son. He is preparing to stump hla district. So
rauoh is certain, that Mr Breckinridge will not be
ihe lucky man next November ho expected to bo
tie cannot carry oven his own Stato.

Tbe Ex-prs-ss ol last evening on talus tho most
unique political advertisement over issued in thh
oity or KUt?—ap anpouncomont, namely, signed
by Augustus Bohell, o.tUiog upon the friends of
Breckinridge and Line throughout the State to
choose one delegate from each Assembly district
to represent them [a a Slate Convention, to be held
at Syracuse, on the 7h of August—the day named
for tbo Tuoker and Green State Convention; but the
most c»w2p«J part of tbo advertisement is its con
clusion, where are printed in Rouble columns, un
der the heading o?
“CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS, ’’
tho names of thirty-throe gentlemen, residing in
the thirty rthreo Congressional dial riots of tbo
Stato. Whet the names wore placed tbpro for Is
oot stated! The public are left to divino for them
selves. Some of them have nover beon consulted
about it, and some are off lu the mountains and at
wateriug places, where no missive of Mr. Schell
ffould bo likely to reach thorn. It is tbo final ef
fort rf tho Collector to mako headway against tae
Tucker Groen Breohiniidgo organization. A more
ludicrous performance was nevar beheld. It is re
ceived with universal derision. The Douglas men,
the Bell and pverett men, the National Democratic

at the Custom House, und tboy look solemn I For
them the quandary Is I’oaiful.
There are Indications of change In the steamer
business between New York and Oulifornia. Com
modore Vanderbilt, who, for two years past, has
beon master of tho seas, so far as patpobger bus!
ness to Ban Francisco is concerned, is about to
meet with opposition of q. calibre that will be like
ly tpbroak up his oppressive and pdiotja enactions.
Yesterday the steamer Moses Taylor Bailed for
San Francisco. Sho will stop only at Rio and two
other port) for coals She is the second of a line
to bo formed on tho Pacific fido by parties repre
sen fed by Marshall 0. 'Roberts Other vessels,
soon to follow, will form a line that, iu connection
with s Hue owned by the same Interest on this
side, will give the public assitr mces of stability
and fairness otleast, and Insure reasonable charges
to tboeo making the tranpit between California and
New'York.
Ono of the great olty railroad obartera has been
summarily disposed of by tho Suprome Court, and
tbo remaining grants will doubtless share the enmo
fate. Anir juncti.n restraining the Gridiron Com
pany from any further proceedings, and also re
straining tbo corporation of New York from fur
thering that eoheme, was granted a day or two
since, end will bo argued on the first Monday in
September. AH the beat talent of the. New York
bar has been retained In this oaso. on one side
or tbo other. Tho general impression is that the
Gridironer* will be dofeated, or that tho ease will
be so engineered in court as to bo kept there until
the meeting of another State Legislature.
Tho commerce in dogs is quite animated. Up to
yesterday 3,007 of the brutes had been delivered at
the dog pound, and drowned at an expense of
$751 75 Dog brokers keep cribs full of dogs,
brought to them by boys, and paid for at a con
siderable roduotion, whloh arc turned over to the
pound keeper at stated tlmts The City Marshal
recently paid one of tbcao brokers $37, which was
tbo premium money for 148 dogs.
I am told by the hotel keepers that the oity was
never so foil of strangers ab at tho present moment.
Many are attracted by tho Great Eastern, though
tho South furnishes a larger quota than it has iu
any previous eoueoq.

whether it proceeds from one of the “able pens”

tends to show that If the polioy of England, in
spired by hatred to France, inclines her to rely on
Germany, she commits a grievous fault,
England should, on the contrary, maintain tho

the tornado on Thursday afternoon, and more pir
ticuJurly to inspeot the ruin* of. Messrs. Pott* A
Kletl'a ohemtcal works, from the felling of which
three men were killed, and several wounded. The
factory is situated about one and a half miles from
Market-street ferry, and the same dlstavee from
Vine street ferry, neir the banks of Coooer’s
creek. It hns been in operation for nearly eight
year*, and on nn nverage forty men have been
constantly employed.
The ballding which was destroyed on Thursday
was meroly intended as a wing to the'msin factory,
and was to have been need as a sulphuric aoid

ai d had just been completed and pronounced
ro**dv for the introduction of the machinery. It
extended due north an-l south, wa3 two hundred
feet lone, and thirty six feet wld**, and two stories
hleh. P was not put up by coutraet, but by day
labor; the materials were supplied by the firm,
and overy precaution had been taken to render it
subs'antial and secure.
The walls were made of ordinary briok, cemented
hy mortar formed of lime inanufeotured on the
premises. They were braced by heavy pilasters,
ilaco.l at intervals along the entire stretch, both
npldo and outride of tho building, miklog them,
in effect, about twentv-two inohte thick. Tnere
was a ventilator of twelve feet in wHth, running
all around fbo fop <#f the building. Tho roof was
firmed of slat*.
In viewing the rains yesterday we found that
the brioks were petfeotjy clean, and looked as
though they had been washed. It was in evidence
before tbe corner’s jury, however, that new mor
tar required several months to harden. r| he onlv

An Affißf the St. Nicholas Hotel—A
Philadelphian Stabbed.' 1
About nine o'clock ou Thursday evening the St.
Nicholas Hotel was the scene of an u\.f>rtuc»te af
fray. which In all probability may pru7e fatal. It
seems that-two men named James Byer and Alex
ander Purple, both belonging in Philadelphia, met
io ft cigar store on .Dead way oc IVedatidayr whore
they get into a dispate, bat by the interposition of
other parti**, they wero pmonted from doing each
other any bodily'harm.
About the above boar last evening, however,
they again met in the bar-room vT the £>: N ebulas,
when they renewed their depute ',with gr«at vigor ,
and tbeir excited talk scon drov? a large numnsr
around. Finally, Purple raised his cane to strike
Hyer over the head, when Hyer pulled out a bowl©
; knife and sttbbed hi* opponent in the back diroot,
ly under tbe l«tt shovlier. Sj quiik d>’d Hyor
draw the dirk and B’ab Purple, that the bystander*
were unublo to prevent the unfortunate an'air.
The wounded man was conveyed to Hegemaa’g
drug store, where h a wounds wore dre&od, after
which ho wascorvejoJ to bis residence In Amity
street. Hyer was imnudlatoly arrested, acd band*
ed over to the Eighth-ward polioe. and locked up to
await the result of Purple’s injuries.
The affair created considerable excitement about
the hotel daring the remaining portion of tbs
night. The dispute is said to have been caused by
