publishes a complete table of the census of that
county (exhibiting a comparison between the
census pi 1840 and that of 1850.
The population of that, county now is 56,100 ;
in 1840, 48,! 17 increase 7,992. The, increase
.of .white inhabitants is 8,006;the decrease of col
ored persons is 11. There are in the county 1,
725 colored persons now, to 1,739 in 1840. There
are in!ihe county 1,327 persons over 20 years of
age-that cannot read nor write of whom 647 are
white nalires of the United States about half of
the latter 'number being natives of Pennsylvania,
and chiefly persons advanced in life. r There are
also thirty eight insane persons in the county. -
Gen. Quitman. A Bench warrant has been is
sued for the arrest of Gen. Quitman for refusing
tappear before Court, and the Marshall of Lou
isiana has proceeded, to Mississipi to take him,
and bring him before the United States Court at
New Orleans. A pretty spectacle indeed, to see
a Governor of a State, who is sworn to support the
laws of.the Country, and see them faithfully ex
ecuted, thus openly setting them at defiance.
33ut such is the spirit of Locofdcoism everywhere
when cornered.

Much" anxiety prevails for her safety.
From California. -The Steamers .Cherokee and
Prometheus arrived at New York, on Tuesday,
with California news two weeks later. They
brought nearly two miliums of gold and a large
number of passengers. Another destructive fire had
occurred at San Francisco. Business, trade, and
gold digging were flourahine. Produce and sup
plies plenty and cheap. Silver and lead of great
richness had been discovered.

SILVER COINAGE.
vThc Scarcity and the Remedy.
Q5 We are glad to perceive that the House of
Representatives have at last adopted the resolu
tion submitted by Mr. Chandler, in relation to the
existing scarcity of. silver coin. The subject will
now, we trust, be fully investigated and promptly
acted upon. Already the inconvenience is great,
and it is daily increasing. The resolution of Mr.
Chandler is quite comprehensive, and covers the
whole ground. "It states that in consequence of
the large supplies of gold from California and oth
er parts of the world, the proportion between that
metal and silver is rapidly changing, thereby af
fecting their relative values, and rendering the lat
ter metal an article of merchandize rather than
currency, and causing its circulation as money to
cease at its nominal value. That under the cir
cumstances, the silver coins of the country are be
ings largely exported; and in conseqsence of the
premiums offered for them by dealers in bullion,
ihey are being rapidly withdrawn from circulation,
thereby subjecting the banks and business com
munity to great and growing inconvenience from
ihe scarcity of these coins for the purpose of ma
king change.
Itjs therefore proposed that the Committee on
Commerce be .instructed to inquire into the expe
diency of reducing the value of the silver coins of
thc-United States, by diminishing their weight or
fdf increasing the proportion of alloy in the same,
or both, so as to prevent their exportation; and
'that 'they have leave to report by bill or otherwise.
This matter is therefore in the hands of a proper
committee, and we indulge a hope that they will
give it immediate attention. The subject is a
grave one, and involves the most important con
siderations. Doubtless the committee will deem
it expedient to consult some of our leading bank
ers, finahciers, and political economists, with the
object as well pf discovering the true cause, of the
difficulty alluded to, as of applying the proper
remedy. That the evil is serious, is a fact conce
ded, en all hands. Specie, is now sold by the bro
kers .of Philadelphia at a premium .of three per
-cent; In other words, a hundred dollars in gold
will command but ninety-seven dollars in silver.
-Thia-cbndition of affairs of itself, is calculated at
once to drive the latter .metal out of circulation,
for all persons who happen to have any consider
able" amount, ell it at a premium, instead of pas
sing 'it from hand to hand, as is the case in ordma
. times. The -brokers, indeed, have been doing
yiteca lively business in this way for some weeks
past. The case is .particularly hard upon Penn-
fiyjvania, ;tiere.w,e jiase AsaTu uu3 currency r

I But what are the causes of the existing scarcity
of silver T lfVthis country, they aie easily defin
ed.. Congress, in. June, 1831, passed a law by
which the gold eagle was reduced in value, as
compared with silver, some six per cent.; and thus,
after the passage of this act, the gold eagle of the
former coinage was Worth SI 0,60. The propor
tion of the two metals has since changed, partly,
no doubt, in consequence of the immense imports
of gold from California so that the gold eagle at
4he-present time isworth-only about 9 70-100 f
silver ; or in other words, will only purchase that
amount in the market. The object of 1834, was
-to orevent the exortation of gold. Before that
time, this description of American coin was, in (j
consequence of its high relative value, exporieo
v almost as fast' as it wasr coined. The measure al
luded to. was adopted, and the desired effect was
produced. But we are at the present moment ex
nnrliner the precious metals to pay, the balances
due against us abroad, and as a consequence of
the circumstances hers alluded to, silver is export
ed in preference to gold, for the very conclusive
reason that it is worth more abroad than gold, re
latively speaking, or measured by silver as a stan
dard. One measure contemplated by Congress,
as we learn, is to make gold only the legal tender
for large sums, and to use the reduced silver as a
subordinate species of currency, principally for
the every day transactions of life, such as market
money, shopkeeper's change, &c. &c. This is
the case in England, where gold is only a legal
tender in all payments above forty shillings. An
other cause of the scarcity is the immense amount,
of silver that is manufactured into plate of various
kinds. In the aggregate, it may be counted by
millions. We know of a single house in this city
that manufactures silver ware to the amount of
$500,000 per annum; and there are, no doubt, sev
eral such. The case, therefore, is plain, so far as
relates to the United States, and the remedy, as
it seems to us, is equally plain. Let Congress a
bolish the absurdity of a double standard, and
keep silver in subordinaiion to gold in our coin
age by the plan proposed in other words, by re
ducing the value of our silver coin to a sufficient
extent to meet the emergency, and thus prevent
its export as a matter of merchandize. All this
is very well, and is apparently very plausible as
relates to the United States. Hut how can we
account for the scarcity of silver in the Old World!
The financiers on the other side of the Atlantic
seem sadly puzzled. The London Economist
has discussed the matter very elaborately, but
without arriving at any positive conclusions. The
London Times assigns two main causes for the
scarcity one, the large sums in silver required
for the payment ofthearmiesin Denmatk, Prusia,
Austria and throughout the uermanic estates ana
secondly, because the recent troubles in continen
tal Europe, and an apprehension of their renewal,
have induced the masses of the people who can
obtain coin, to indulge in a system of hoarding.
A correspondent of the New York Commercial
states further causes. He says that prior to the
year 1800, bullion and coin poured through the
channels of commerce from the East to the West,
and the United States, and the continent of Eu
rope, from.these supplies, added to the Mexican
and South American yields, enjoyed an undisturb
ed monopoly, and the residue of the world a full
sufficiency. The consequence was, that this stea
dy profusion of silver, compared with the supply
of gold, increased the standard relative valve of
the latter, and decreased the standard relative val
ue of the former. But now mark the beginning of
the present change. Before the year 18-20, the
exchanges of the precious metals between the
countries of the East and Europe became nearly
balanced ; before the close of the third decade a
reflux occurred, and silver has since been pouring
back through the very channels through which it
came to us previosly. The Indian wars, and the
immense transfers of capital constantly required
for those wars, lasting through a period of a quar
ter of a century, laid the foundation of the scarci
ty, and figure largely in the general summing up
of causes. Population and commerce, multiplying
with the lapse of years, would naturally experi
ence a deficiency, supposing the exchanges of the
precious metals between the East and the West
still upon a balance, or conducted upon an equi
librium, but instead of this, a reflux ensued, and the
consequences have been rapia ana serious, eu
to embarrassing the wheels of political government.
Still another cause is found in the yield of the
silver mines which has gradually decreased, while
the coin in circulation has been defaced, worn out
and lost. The Mexican mines have been the
more prolyfic sources in this respect. Taking them
as a standard, the produce in 1700, to the popula
tion of Europe and America, was as 100, to 15
per cent now. The entire coinage has been since
the establishment of that branch in the Mexican
Government, (3-10 years) $1,800,000,000. If we
take the average of the last ten years, prior to 1845,
at $8,000,000 per annum, we find that the a
mount coined was 80,000,000. Now the average
from 1845 to 1855, judging of the five years which
have elapsed, will not be over $80,000,000, while
the want of silver coin has i ncreased about 12
per cent. Consequently we have here another
decided cause for the present scarcity.
In connexion with this subject, the question a
rises, so far as the European World is concerned
what is the the relative increase of the popula
tion of mankind, as compared with the relative in
crease, consumption and circulation of silver 1
This fully answered, would tell the whole story.
Meanwhile, however, our own domestic affairs
must not be neglected. Whatever the real cause
of the European scarcity, the matter as already
described, is plain in the United States. We are
in debt to Europe. Silver, under existing circum
stances, is the most available com to pay tne in
debetedness ; and as a consequence, silver is
withdrawn fiom domestic circulation and sent a
broad. The remedy for the existing evil rests
with Congress, upon whom devolves 44 the power
to coin money and to regulate the value thereof."
The mailer is in the hands of the proper Commit
tee, and as already observed, prompt and enlight
ened action is absolutely indispensable.
Satisfaction in Perspective.
A very zealous and devout layman of the
Free-will faiih, at a certain factory village in
New-Hampshire, who was ever ready 10 do
his share of 'speaking in meeting,' had the ill
luck to board at a house where most of the in
mates were anyihing but good steady, pious
racrl and who seemed most delighted when
they, could play some miecheivous prank upon
our good man. One Sunday morning, our saint,
to complete his dress, inserted his two fore-fingers
into the straps, and his foot into the leg
of a pair of bran new boots ; he gave a smart
pull, and smack ! his toes came full tilt against
an egg of dubious age, dropped there by some
cruel wag. After a little time and trouble, the
martyr was ready for church, ahhough ome
whaUate, During the sermon, our victim bit
his lip 'nursed his wraih j' bjut as soon as ihe
disclosure was finished he arose and thus lei
off hts ire :
" My brethern, the reason of my being late
this morning at the sanctuary, was on the ac
count of a prank played 4ipon me by one of
those children of sin who sojourn under the
same roof with e. .1 don't know for certain
who was' that did ihe mischeif, but it is one
consblaiion to know: thai at the great judgment
