Dr. Young, Chief of the Bureau - of Sta
tistics, is in receipt from the l - statistical de
partment of the Board of Trade of England
of a proof statement about to be publish
ed there under the head of Table of Area
of the United States. This propf is sent to
the Statistical Bureau for correction. In
this statement the English sqgdre miles •of
the United States in '6O are give g li as 1,486,018,_
and‘this note appended:: "Area for 1860 is
that of thirteen States Only which then com
posed the Union." Mr. Young remarks on
this as follows: " This is utterly erroneous - .
About one hundred years ago there were
only thirteen Slates; but in 1860 there - were
thirty. 'Be particular in striking out the
,figures and erroneous note."
The late panic
,in monetary affairs is of
the class designated - as' " capital panics,"
resulting from' the investmer t of enormous
amounts of capital in unproduetive•public
works. The resulting depletion in the loan
market fin& many expanded operators un
able to meet their obligations, and conse
quently - such must go under with all who
are dependent upon them. It differs from
a "currency panic;" in which the difliculty
lies with the circulating meiliutu. Under
our old State bank system, which' was glar
ingly unconstitutional, such panics came On
in regular cycles,, like paroxysms , of feVer
and ague., Our present banking systeni ren
dersuch a panic impossible . Nor is' our
preslnt flurry ,a ".credit panic,'; resulting
froin the demoralization of business char-,
acter and the destruction of all foundations
of biedit , and, confidence among business
men. Stich a panic indicates an adVanced,
'stage of social corruption in an old and ,defi
caying community. 'All the_ facts , : of
present case indicate a limit-range ,of mis-`,
_chief, and a speedy recuperation of the;
money market with a , greatly Improved tone
and character. • •
- - While we are censur - ing sharply, the, men'
who, like Jay Cooke tt Co,, have precipita

The whaling steamer Arctic, Captain
Adams, has arrived at this port from Davis
'Straits, having on board the following men
of , the Polaris' expedition, who were picked
up by the whaler Ravenseraig On the '2oth
of July, viz: Captain- S. 0. ,Buddington,

"The men are 'all well, and show to
marks of emaciation such as might have

it was deemed' advisable ,to make -prepara

to leave the ship was arrived at on the 15th
of October, at - which time they were in lat
itude, 79- degrees. Some of the crew,remain
ed on board, while others-landed on the ice,
and they began to get out stores, with' the
intention of taking' everything, they 'could

gions, _Between ten: and -twelve -o'clock at
night, while this work was proceeding, a
very severe gale -sprang up, and the snow
began to fall heavily, with strong but varia

tinned, and-after untiring efforts the boats
were got upon the ice and a large supply of

desire in me, knowing what it was, to in
dulge in a hasheesh dream.. One_ afternoon
I purchased an ounce of the drug and took
at least one-half of it. As about two hoUrs
are required for it to act, I had taken it so
that it .should affect me as I went twine' in
the afternoon front business..' Scarcely had

seemed to grow lighter; then commenced a

the room (for the greater the quiet the great

around me E,eemed invested. with a misty
light that revolved rapidly.. As my'wife
approached me I sank into a deeper distance,
and she appeared like a photograph in bril

intense sighing that seemed' to enter my
head, atelleit it'revolving' faster and lust

were but faintest whispers.
Now 'and then the scenting motion of head
would stop, and a delicious languor possess
me. Then again would commence the sigh
ing, rising occasionally into a roar that was
not terrifying, but solemn. Suddenly I felt
myself changing into - figures. -- Multitudes

How to Use. Straw.
Shall we feed straw and mike up' with '
grfiln, roots, &e., what . the straw lacks ?
This is in consequence of the high price of
hay.- Straw, Such as We, find it, has but lit
tle nutrinamit. To feedstock on this alone -
will impoverish it; andlf brought into Win
ter quarters - in poor coOdition it cannot be '
wintered on straw silo*, it NV 111 die. Now
it iis - knoWn - by our nuist-successful experi
menters, thatdo.feed tho-grains -is not gen
erally profitable—at f present a losing opera
tion. Roots, unless successfully raised,
conic under the sane head. As we, must
ever view our feed With respect to its loss or
profit, it will be seen that roots' and the
grains as well as straw aro not the feed
which gives satisfaction.- -
.•
What then shall we do with our straw ?
Not put it on a pile and let it rot - down.-:-
-Better spread it on your, wheat fields; but
best of all, useit,for beding in stables. 'lf
there is convenience to run it - through astritw
-cutter all the better. Then, in connection
with the chaff of grain, and clover, -nothing
can well be better for bedding or absorbents
of the fluid parts-of the stable. Use plen
tifully so as to make • the cleanings of the
'without
comparatively dry, so as to handle
'without danger from filth. This makes a
clean, healthy bedding for your stables; and
secures you'all the benefit of the urine and
exeerements, Which otherwise, to a great 'ex;
tent, would be - lost. Here straw makes ma
nure and saves*. Thus the whole 'benefit
is received by the hind, the straw to be re
produced as it readily will be. Now in feed:
ing it, but part will ' be retained for the 'use
'of the animal. Still would not this part be
a benefit of More use to the animal than to
the dung heap ? That - depends •whether

place. , ,
Where land produces, say twenty, dollars'
worth of grain per acre, (at present prices,)

amounting to Sixty -dollars per acre. But
drop to filty ancliraise the grain amount five

benefit (nutriment) of the straw—as is also
the-case %s hit old ripe hay—can be appro..,
priated in feeding , and as all or nearly all?
