rlMiiBil, tlM HatioBftI AhnaiuM for 18((S took a long stride in adraBoe of any pnoediag
irork of tko sama genoral dMoription. It thavefore proved to bo a moat aeoeptable and
papular book, tke salea amoantoig to flfkaea thoaaand oopiea. But Juat as that rolaaw
mrpaaiad tta predeoessora of the same tjps^ as a sonree of popular information^ tka pff#-
sa»t Toloma ia belioTed to be in advanoe of the first. It has bemi the svbjeot of mor^
labor and more oare; its soope is maoh broader, and its statlatios^ to a rerj large ejrtenl^
aia ataah batter aad f^eaher. it is, therefore, antioipated with oonfldenoe tkat i* will
aMoi with a still mere fiivorable reoeptien by the pablio.
Aa examples of the fresbnees and valne of the matter of this vohtme^ the reader should
tarn to the tables, now ftrst published, showing the operations of our Internal Bevenua
s^rslam ; or to tbe^pagea exhibiting the eondition of our Navy, and its oaptarea during tba
war; or to the full «mI recent presentations of the aiEurs of the groait Dureatns of the
Interior Department. Beferring to the first of these instanees, the reader will find
aoptouB taUes, showing tile results of our system of Internal Taxation, stiU so new to the
prsaent gtiieration of Amerieans. They exhibit in detail the amount of Internal Beremsa
paid during the last fisoal year by every artiole and olasa of artioies subject to du^;
they also shew the amount oontributed to the national Treasuiy by elassea of individttalsy
as Bankers, Brokers, Doctors, Lawyers, Brewers, Distillers, Dealers, Peddlers, elo. ; thay

Mattufthetaures, Agrieultore, Railroads, BaAks, etc. ; ajad, stUl ftirther, the proportknis
paM by the sararal States, and by the great geographical and poUtieal divisions of tto
•sunttj. The tables on these subjects are not only important and valuaUe to idl
MasBS, froM the tax-payer to the law-maker, but they are exceedingly curious and
lastrustive in th^r lelatioB to tha raaour^ca of the United States. They are, moreover,

4 PREFAOB.
Let it be borne in mind that the examples here referred to are exttmplm anljf; for th«
book is full of Just such fresh^ original, and valiiable matter. .
Another illustration of the valae of the contents in this volume will be found in its
ample information concerning the Volurtbbbs of the Armies of the United States.
Hitherto our Army Registers have been confined mainly to the Regular Army; but, by
means of a large correspondence and careful compilations fVom roluminous official
records, the National Almanac is enabled to present to the people of the country a mass
of information relating to the Volunteer smvioe which has never been approached in
completeness by any single publication on the subject. The tables under this head (for
which see the several States, and the title " Volunteers" in the Index) give the number
and description; the arm of the service; term of service; the names of the original
eoBmanding ofioers; the number of men; the date of muster or departure, and other
interesting details, of every regunent, or separate organisation, of every loyal State aad
Territory, during the two memorable years of volunteering, 1861-63. Nowhere else
ean this magaaine of information ooneeming the Volunteer Armies of the United States
be found in one volume. As a permanent and compaot reoord of the marvellous deve-
lopment of the military power and resources of the United States, it is worth more than
the priee of the whole volume.
An earnest and, to a large extent, suooessful effort has been made to give oomplete-
ness and udiformity to the information oonoeming the governments and the supreme
judiciary of the several States. Under eaeh table of State officers, the time and manner
of tiieir election or appointment is given, from anthentio souroes; also, the numbers and
constitution of the State Legislatures, with their time of meeting; and, with respeet to
the judiciary, the manner of selecting or appointing the judges, their tenure of offioe^
and the times and places for holding terms of all the Supreme Courts.
The affairs of the organised Territories of the United States are treated with more
.than usual fulness, beeause they are objects of special interest at this time, and because
recent legislation had so far obliterated old boundaries as to require an entirely new
.statement of their existing lines, present areas, population, and condition, for publle
inl<>rmation.
. The financial affidrs of a country at war being important topics of study and dia-
eussion, great attention has been given to thai subject in this volume, la the case of
the Treasury statisties, they are in all essential particulars brought down to a pedod
<Hie year later than any tabular matter hitherto attempted in a work of this kind. So^
too, with regard to the financial affairs of the States. While in some of these the infoim-
,ation furnished is no later than usual, the editor has succeeded in procuring from
nearly all the great States either full parUoulars or abstracts of their revenues, expendi-
tnres, and debt, and of the condition of their banks, a year later than usuaL The Bank
-returns of the States will be found, in all important oases, to be nearly a year later than
the most recent returns published by the General Government.
Statistics are divisible into two principal classes: vis.: (1) those which exhibit the
.present condition and relations of the objects or affairs to which they refer, and (2)
those which develop progress or movement Holding this in view, the editor has been
eareftil (wherever it could be done) to eombine the two classes so as to show both the pre-
sent condition and relations, and the progress or movement, of the subjects of which they
4reat Thus, taking our State Prison statistics as an example, the fig^ures given not only
^present the affairs of those establishments at the dates of the most recent published
reports, but also show, comparing the seoond year of the prAent war with the first, that
crime ha§ deertwed everywhere throughout the United States to a very remarkable ex-
PREFACE. 6
tent Similar data are fanilehed for eomparifons of the progrese of thoae onerrlng
indioes of thrift and comfort, — ^the savings-banks of the New England States. The
additions to the number of depositors and to the amount of deposits during the war, are
as extraordinary as they are gratifying to record. Data of the same kind are ftimtehed
for comparisons concerning our Public School systems, our great public eharities, hos-
pitals, correctional institutions, Ac
Sereral of the articles on special subjects, by contributors to this Tolnme, are of a
eharacter to inrite close attention. That on National Burdens and Resources is a mine
of statistical wealth that will proye the richer the more it is explored; that on the Public
Libraries of the United States is a very desirable exposition of a subject concerning
which our bibliographical literature has been yery deficient; that on Population as
aifected by Immigration presents some startling figures connected with our yital stalls-'
ties; that on Agriculture will repay perusal by the laborers in the greatest of ail the
great interests of our country; and that on Mortality and Sickness in the Armies of the
United States,* with its illustrative diagrams, is upon a subject of the deepest interest
and importance.
The Record of the Events of the Waf during the past year is divided into two artieles,
— the first being a narrative of the operations of each Army or Military B^artment,
and the second being a record of the prominent events of the year, both military ancf
eivil, in chronological order. These two, with the Record in the Almanac of 1863, make
a ftill Diary of the events of the war fW)m the beginning of the rebellion.
As the present year will be one of Extraordinary politieal interest, there is added to
the usual contents of the volume a very foil and complete series of returns of the last
Genera! Elections in all the States and Territories, by counties and Oongressional dis-
tricts, and also of the Presidential elections from 1848 to 1860.
One of the most marked improvements in this issue of the National Almanac will be
found under the head of ** Foreign Countries," extending from page 562 to 627, — ^seventy-
five pages, concerning the sovereigns, governments, ministries, areas, populations,
iinanoes, armies, navies, commerce, navigation, and affairs generally, of nearly all the
eountries of the world, — a volume of interesting and valuable matter, otherwise inaoces-
sible to the great body of the public.
It is no part of the purpose of these remarks to attempt even a general outline of the
contents of this volume: in a work of such multiftkrious details so compactly con-
densed, such an outline could not be drawn within the limits of any reasonable prefMie.
The object is simply to present examples of the Areshness and value of the mass of the
matter, and of the improvements in and wider scope of the subjects introduced. Henoe it
is not at all improbable that the subjects not mentioned here are quite as important as
those adduced as examples. Those who would get a fair idea of the extensive and
varied character of the contents of this volume of the National Almanac must examine
the body of the book, or, at least, carefully consult the Index. And those whe would
have a knowledge of the toil and of the vexatious cares of its preparation cmi reach it
only through practical experience in making such a book. There are twelve pages in
one set of tables, which involved the sending and receiving of nearly seven hundred
letters, — the contents of about three hundred and fifty of which are condensed in the
twelve pages referred to. In that case the postage alone cost nearly twenty-fbnr dollars,
or about two dollars a page. In the preparation of the whole work, about tw^ve hun-
dred letters were sent, and about thirteen hundred letters and packets received; and from

6 PREFACE*
thMt LBtt«rt and pMk«U, Aad nuxlj four hundred offioial reportf and state papen be-
aides, in print and in mannsoript, the mass of the information in the book has been
eompiled, condensed, and arranged.
As with the preceding volome, so in this, it has been a primary object to procure in-
foimation firom original and offioial sources^ and to have the matter reviewed by offioial
personages conversant with the particular subjects. This course has been pursued with
suooesa. The cases in which any thing has been taken at second-hand are very iew
indeed. No care, labor, or expense has been spared to make the work accurate and
reliable and to give it a standard character.
It is a grafceftil duty to acknowledge the favors and courtesy of the many public
and ptrivate gentlemen who have contributed the valuable materials out of which this
work ha«'been built. To the Heads of the Executive Departments and Bureaus at
Washington and their assistants and clerks; to the Foreign Ministers, diplomatic agents,
and coBJulsj to our own Ministers, diplomatio agents, and consuls abroad; to the
Oovemor-Genaral and the laeutenant-Govemors of the British North American Pro*
vinces, their secretaries and clerks; to the Governors, Secretaries of State, Executive and
Militaiy Secretaries, Adjutant-Generals, Treasurers, Comptrollers, Auditors, Bank Com-
miasioners. School Superintendents, and other Executive officers of the several States
and Territories,* to the Judges, Clerks, Ac of the Supreme and other Courts of the
Stakes ,* to the officers of some of the State Legislatures; to the Hon. Edward MePherson,
Clerk of the National House of Representatives; to Captain Jas. M. Gilliss, Superintendent
of the U.S. Naval Observatory to A. R. Spoflford, Esq., of the Congressional Libra^ ;
to Professor Gould, of Cambridge; to Hon. James Pollock and Dr. H. R. Linder-
man, of Philadelphia; to James S. GrinneU^ LewU BoUman, and Daniel Buck, Esqa.,
of Washington; to S. E. Hombrook, Esq., of Wheeling; to Lookwood L. Doty, Esq.,
of Albany; to the correspondent of the Publishers' Circular at Paris; to Benjamin
Moran, Esq., at London, and to many others, who are not forgotten though for the
present mentioned only in tlus general way, — especial acknowledgments are due for
documents, materials, and puggestionji sent forward in the most prompt and kindly
manner. The editor now sees that he should have made a formal list of these kind and
esteemed auxiliaries, and regrets that such a list cannot be made in time for the present
volume. It is hoped that they wiU be in part compensated by having at hand in the
National Almanac a ocmpanion-book of reference, that will save them, one and all, a
great deal of time-eonsumlng If^bor that would otherwise be spent in searching through
hundreds of other volumes for the names, events, statistics, and data collected in one
compact body in the Almanac In many cases the officers of Colleges, Seminaries, Ac,
the Superintendents of Hospitals, Asylums, and other Institutions for the Insane, Deaf-
Mutes and Blind, Reform Schools, Ac, the Wardens of Prisons, and other heads of
Sanitary, Correctional, and Punitive institutions, favored the publisher and editor by
the prompt and early transmission of reports, catalogues, and circulars.
Suggestions, corrections, contributions, reports, public papers and materials, for the
volume for 1866, will be most acceptable, and are earnestly solicited.
The volume of the National Almanac for 1804 is thus committed to the just judg-
ment of the public, with a parting remark, in the language of a distinguished American
officer^ thai it is a little libraiy in itself and one which answers nearly all questions on
pnUie aiEairs in a most satisfactory manner.

EXPLANATION OP THE POLLOWING TABLES.
The Omee of Mm rlihif and setting of the nm tad moon hare boen ealcnlated for ft>ar polntB»-^Tia.

wwt, and aobtaaolaa wvgo enat, aboot one ntaato and a half tm OTary ten dapvea of longttnie.
The time oftaiibimtvhae been calculated for only one of the two daUy tides; the other wiU be
hrifiy LsfiM the tpa gNsn in the table, on each aide of it. Thoa, we haTO the erenlnghlfh tide

atOtuSTa.
The lottaoB.aad«. In the tables for the rising and setting of the planets, and for the eelipses
of Jnpiter's satellites, signify morning and erening.
The times given for the rising and setting of the planets, and for the eohpses of the satelUtes of
Jopiter, are computed for the meridian of Washington. Ilie times of the southing of the sun and
moon are also giT«<a for the meridian of that observatory : the former Is sufBdently accurate for any
place in the United States; but to the latter we should add aa we go west, and subtract as we go
east, about one minote and a half fbr each ten deerees of longitude, aa H direatid for the rising and

28th of November, l*f62. Its orbit is sensibly
parabolic.
II. By Dr. Bruhns, at Leiiisic, 2d of December,
1862. dn account of its rapid motion towards
the south, It appears to have been observed but
a short time in tho northern hemisphere, from
which only we have results. The observations
are satisfied by a parabola.
m. By Dr. Klinkorfbes, at GDttingen, 11th of
April, 1862. On the day following ltd discovery,
its appearance was described at Paris as ''very
fine, the disc (nucleus) surrounded by a fkn-ehaped
luminosity.** It was observed at Washington, 4th
of May, ajKl appeared as a round nebulosity {/ or
f/ in oianieter. It was visible to tho imked eye
daring the earlv part of May. The observations
extend over an interval of about five months, and
its orbit seems to be sliarhtlv elllnticiil
port, Mass., had discovered a companion to Slrina,
with the great refractor of his constmctlOD.
This instrument, unrivalled for its magnitude, Is
216 lines in diameter. Mr. Goldschraidt has an-
nounced to the Academy of Sciences at Paris the
discovery of five other companions, the ("
of his objec^glas8 being onlv 46 lines I He has
given a diagram showing their places.
Mr. Dawes appears to have been the second
person to recognize any of tlie newly^discovored
companions by Goldschmidt. Ho announces Iiat-

of the principal one.
Oompanion of Procyim. — Mr. Hermann Booh
berg, who has the care of the Observatory of J.
Oumey Barclay, Esq., at Leyton, Bssez (BiiglandX
has given measures for angle of position (294*' 6r)
and distance (45''.8^ of a lOi mag. companion to

Miv^ment of the Sjlar S'jstem, in S^xux.—^v.
iirj, the Astronomer Royal, has completed the
onapntatlons for inforriug tho direction and
•mount of the movement of our system in space,
from the observed proper motion's of 1167 stui-s.
Tbt result is that tho sun is moving towards a
poiiit in A. R. 261"^, N. P. D. 05° ; and at the di:itancc
of a star of the first magnitude, tho annual motion
sabtenJs an angle of Cr .4. But the compiirlson
of the sum of the squares of apparent proper
Aolioiu, uncorrected, with tho sum of tho stiuarus
of tpparent proper motiuiL^ corroctinl for motion
of the tun, snows so small an advance in tho ex-
pbuiatktt ot the stars' apparent niovemeuti, as
to throw great doubt on tUe certaintv of renults
tho snm of the squares beiug dimiuished by only
tho Iweuty-ftOh part. Tlae Astronomer Royal
tUtes that the Indicated point in space dooa not
fillot much from Sir VfiUUm Herschei's, but do-

THE UNITED STATES NAVAL OBSEBVATOET AT WASHINaTOV.
Jjt our Tolnme for 1863 we gave some tcootint
of the United States Ooast Surrey, the institution
which has unquestionablv done more hitherto
than any other one In the land towards establish-
ing on a Arm basis the scientific reputation of the
United States abroad, and probably more than
any other also in disseminating sdentlflc methods
and stimulating to scientiflc progress at home in
all directions within its scope and influence.
Immediately following was a similar account
of the Smithsonian Institution, an organisation
aiming at a still wider range of influence, —
namely, both the increase and the diflTusion of
knowledge ; and these, too, with no restrictions of
nationality, and no special devotion to any one
department or class at, departments in learning
or science. Of the largd and wise policy, and of
the able administration which has characterized
this magnificent trust, the nation to whom it was
confided may well be proud.
We propose now to giye some account of a third
prominent American Tnatitution of science.— the
Naral Observatory at Washington, — which has
\i"^. — ' — -" ^^ n stylo worthy of a great gov-
t^uju .: itio outbreak of the present

ti bi'B*!: ftJ>i,ri^t«l f^sid At the promptness with
which the cib^4^ -.j-iiiji^ are reduced and rendered
•Tailable for use as flist as they are made. These
are the characteristics of an Observatory of the
first class.
It is somewhat remarkable, when we consider
our national ambition and our aspirations for in-
tellectual progress, that so long a time elapsed
b«fore the establishment of any institution in the
United States claiming even the name of an astro-
nomical observatory, if we except some tempo*
rary structures erected during colonial times for
special purposes.
Prominent among those who early advocated
•Ad persistently urged the foundation of such an
iastitntion, waa John Quincy Adams. As early as
October, 1823, while Secretary of State, in a letter
t» one of the oorp<»ation of Harvard (College, he
urged the establishment of an Astronomical Ob-
servatory at Cambridge, and offered to contribute
one thousand dollars pwsonally towards this end
in ease the reqnisito sum should be raised within
two years, the concealment of his name being,
however, ei^joined. At the expiration of that time,
the amount not having been subscribed, Mr.
Adams la&siMd the offer; but the spirit of libe-
ralitv had not at that time been awakened among
tiM niends of science, and his effort was in vain.
In 1825, in the first Measage to Goncraas after
his aooossion to the Presidency of the Unitad
States, he earnestly reoommended the establish-
ment of a National Obeenratory, as aJao of a Uni-
form Standard of Weights and Heaaorea, of •
Naval Academy, a Nautical Almanac, and a Na-
tional University. But all thase reconu^endatlaoa
were treated with ne^ect by Congress; althou^^
time has written a sufficient eommentai7 on their
wisdom and foresight. An ezeelleiit report on
the snlject, advocating the views of the President,
was made by Mr. C. F. Mercer, chairman of tlia
committee of the House to whcrai, in the ordinary
routine, the subject was referred; but the reoom-
mendations of the President and of the Commit-
teo were suffered to lie unnoticed on the tablea of
both Houses ; and it was reserved for tiie Emperor
Nicholas of Russia to follow those oonnaels wfaidi
party rancor precluded tho Congress of the Unitad
States from adopting on the recommendation <d
their President, and, by the establishment of the
noblest Observatory of the vrorld, to rMider the
capital of his empire a o^ital of aatronomical
science.
The first structure in the United States claia»-
ing tho name of a fixed astronomical obsMratory^
was erected on Capitol Hill in Washington, in tiaa
year ISM, by Lieutenant Wilkes, for the Naval
Depot of Charts. It was equipped with a threa
and three-quarter inch transit-instrument mada
for the Coast Survey in 1816 and loaned to the
Navy Department on Uoutenant Wilkes's appli-
cation, and some portable instruments made fbr
use in an exploring expedition contemplated by
the Government in 1828. It does not, however,
appear that any observations were ever made by
Lieutenant Wilkes other than thoee necessary
for rating the chronometers. During the next
year a five-inch t<>Iescope was placed In the steeple
of one of the buildings of Yale College, by the
aid of wliich Halloy's comet was roughly observed
by Professors Olmsted and Loomls. In 1888, an-
other small astronomical structure was built at
Hudson, Ohio, through the exertions of Professor
Ellas Loomis, and fhmished with an Enf^iah
equatorial of four inches aperture and a threo-
inch transit-circle. Professor Loomis determined
the longitude and latitude of his observatory, and
made observations of five comets and sixteen
occultations, although the duties of a professor
engared in constant tuition left him no opportn-
ni^ for further astronomical research.
In June, 1838, information was sent by Mr.
Rush, our minister in England, that he had re-
ceived the money bequeathed by James Smithson
for founding in Washington an institution, bearing
his name, for the increase and difi^ision of know<>
ledge among men. Mr. Adams again exerted Us
most strenuous efforts to secure the establishment
of an Astronomical Observatory as a part of tlM
institution. He immediately waited on Proefdant
Yan Buren, and In a long interview urged hli
views of the subject A few months later, at tha
call of the Secretary of State, he redueed hla
views to writing, advocating the appUohtion oi
part of the ftind to the establishmant of a grtM
Observatory and of a Nautical Almanao. Mr. Yaik
Buren expressed his ooacnrrenoe with the Ti«wai,
but never acted in the premlsea.
Indeed, so bitter was the naoor of political par-

the ooaati of the tJnited States, the following
llBitatlon was inserted by the Naval Committee,

Tet at tfie time of passing this act it was
w«ll nnderslood that a part of the appropriation
it contained was neceaaarily to be i4>plied to astro*
■owical obeenratftons; and subsequently Congress
apfreprkUed money to the erection of an Astro-
■ninli'al Obserratofj, under a fictitious name, in
the city of Washington, to which subsequent ap-
BToprlatioDs were regularlv granted In the annual
bOls proTiding for the Navr Department ;— the

would be so applied, but causing the Insertion of
ttM proriao in the one case and of the feigned
■ame in the other, for the purpose of preventing
tka institution lh>m being attributed to the Influ-
soea of Mr. Adams.*
In August, 1888, the U J. Exploring Bxpodition
teriag been organized, lieutenant QilUss was
dheUed by the Navy Department to take chiurgo
of the apparatus at the establishment constructed
by lieutenant WUkea, and to observe moon cul-
minatkms and transits of moon-cuIminaUng stars
as oHeo as possible, for use In determining difier-
fl»eaa of longitude in connection with the Ezpe-
ditto*. Mr. Bond, of Boston, who possessed a
■nail tranalt4nstrunient at Dorchester, Massachu-
■etts, was also employed for the same purpose.
n« boildtng, being found unsuitable for the pur-
poaea dsaired, was remodelled by lieutenant GO-
■as^ who succeeded in obtaining two good clocks,
•ne for mean and one for sidereal time : a three
aad * ooarter inch achromatic ; and the Meridian
Cb«la by &rtel, now in use at the Naval Obeerva-
tory. This was the first working Observatory In
flha United States; and the volume containing the
during the five years 183S-42, with

* Catalogue of the Boyal Astronomical SodeU,' it
occurred to me that whOe carrying out the <y^ecii
of the Exploring Expedition, the mites which I
could add to the data for more correctly locating
' the landmarks of the luiTerse,' would not be en-
tirely unworthy of collection ; and with this ob*
Ject in view I determined henceforward to in-
crease the number of stars to bo nightly observed,
so as to embrace one in each three and a half
to four minutes, between the times of transit ot
the first and last moon^ciilmlnatiag star, the inter-
val fixed on being the time ordinarily occupied by
the transit of one star over all the wires, and set-
ting the finder for its successor. This was all I
could hope to accomplish with thcT means in my
power, unless careftU jestintaUons of the apparent
magnitudes of each star observed should enable
me to detect at the termination of the series va-
riations in their brightness, or to confirm the de-
gree of lustre already assloied to them. What
has been acoompUshed in this respect is shown 1%
the notes to the General Catalogue.
**AI1 the observations In the" volume, excluding
a part of those of November 28, 1838, and all of
May 8 and 4, 1841 ^aa sUted in the foot-notes),
were made by myselL Absence on the latter days
was caused by illness; and it is proper to state
that with the above exceptions there was not •
visible culmination of the moon, which occurred
when the sun was less than one hour above the
horixon, during the entire period embraced bv
the observations, or an oooultation after the 15th
of June, 1839, except that of 189 Tanri, mentioned
on page 502, which I did not personally observe.
** It remains but for me to express my gratitude
that the prosecution of these observations should
have resulted In the foundation of*a permanent
Naval pbservatory, and have obtained for me,
though for a brief period, the privilege of associ'
ation with many of the most distinguished astro-
nomers of the present century.**
On March 6, 1840, BIr. Adams, being chairman
of the select committee on the Smithsonian fimd,
made a second report, in which, after recounting
all the principal wets connected with the bequest
and Its acceptance, he again advocated the views
which he had so often urged. But, while the
auestion was pending, a resolution was passed* by
tie Senate appointing a Joint committee on the
subject of the Smithsonian bequest. The Houso
in courtesy concurred, and appointed on Its own
part the members or the select committee of
which Bfr. Adams was chairman to be members of
the joint comnllttce. It may readllv be imagined
that the two portions of the committee were un-
able to agree; and It was finally decided that each
of ihe two component parts should present its
own report; and while Bfr. Adams reported* a
series of resolutions prescribing the Investment
and management of the ftoid, and directing that
the first appropriation of Interest-money should be
** applied for the erection of an Astronomical Ob-
servatory, and for the various oblects incident to
such an establishment,*' Mr. Preston, of South Ca-
rolina, the chairman of the Senate Committee^
presented counter-resolutions containing the pro-
vision that no part of the funds should be applied
to the erection of an Astronomical Observatory.

ruMil of ttTorj lov«r of tht glorious acieDoe of •»•
tronomj. botn for tbo richneM of iU iofonuatlon
•nd tho beaaty of its eIoqaeuc«.
In 1840 And IMl, two obsermtories were eeta-
Uiihod,->the first at Philadelphia, by the *< High
School" of that dty, and the second at West Point,
br the VJS. BUlitaW Academy. The former was
weed under the dlroction of tlie late Sears C.
Walker, the pioneer of practical astronomy in the
United States, and of Professor S. 0. Kendall ; the
latter under that of Professor Bartlett. To these
astronomers we owe the first introduction into
the country of German Instruments which the
combined genius of Bessel, Stnivo, and Argo-
landcr, the three leading practical astronomers of
tho century, and of Vraunbofer, with his gifted
colaborers In the highest fields of optical and me-
chanical art, had rendered as far superior to the
instraments of England and Prance as tbev were
different in genera! design, — the German Instru-
ments being doised with a view to the greatest
possible mobility of their several parts, that by
use in different positions their errors might \yd
measured and eradicated ; and tho English being
constructed with a view to the greatest possible
fixity, under the Impression that errors might
thus be avoided.
Neither of these Observatories had the advantage
of thorough insulation from other buildings, or
even of tn^ supports of the instruments being
near tho ground ; but to them, or rather to the
ability and assiduity of tlieir diroctors, working
in the hours of relaxation (him proferaional du-
ties, we owe the first important serioe of astrono-
mical observations made In the United States. It
is to the stimulus given by their obser>'ations,— -
especially the admirable ones of Mr. Walker, ren-
dered peculiarly valuable by his computations, for
which they supplied the material, — and to their
publications, particularly the ablo Report on Eu-
ropean Observatories presented by Professor Bart-
lett to the Engineer Department on returning
flrom a Journey to Europe for tho purpose of or-
dering instruments, — that we are doubtless in-
debted for much of that public sentiment which,
combined with other inffnences, at last brought
about the establishment of the Naval Observatory.
Mr. Adams led the way, and his exertions proba-
blv secured the result ; but any direct recommend-
ation of his was sure to be treated with neglect,
lieutenant Gilllss had, by his diligent, careful, and
■uccessfbl observations, secured the all-essential
confidence and co-operation of the Navy Depart-
ment, and certainly stimulated the naval coinmit
tees of Congress to action; but In shaping and
confirming that public sentiment through which
alone the favorablo action by Congress became
probable, tho infiuence of the other astronomers
bore no inconsiderable part.
On the 12th April, 1M2, Mr. Adams, as pAalrm^
of the committee on the Smithsonian fund, pre-
sented a third report in form of a biU, proviiung
for its administration on the same principles
which he had advocated in former years, and
directing; that tho income already accrued should
be invested as a capital, and its interest applied to
the construction and maintenance of an Astro-
•omlcal Observatory. The bill failed; for, as Mr.
Adams's biographer remarks, ** there was no pur-
pose on which the predominating party were more
fixed than to prevent the eratification of Mr.
Adams in this well-known cherished wish of his
haart.** Yet an Ofaservatonr, under a feigned name,
was established by act of that very Congress at
[laH
that very seasioB, without a divWon, «v indsal
any opposition, in cither House; and four years
lat«r the Smithsonian Institution was organised
essentially on the basis so often urged by hia,
although omitting the Observatory element, wiuch
was then no longer desirable, inasmuch as ttaa
end had been obtained by other means.
On the 15th March, 1S42, the CommlttM on
Naval AflUrs reported to the House of Represen-
tatives a bill " to authorise the construction of a
Depot for Charts and Instruments of the Navy of
the United States," together with a vrritten re>
port.* in which occur the following passages: —
" In the summer of 1838 the honorable Secre-
tarv of the Navy directed the Supwintendent to
make a constant series of observations in astro-
nomy, magnetism, and moteorolo^, ordering aa
additional number of assistants, and granting au-
thority for the purchase of all necessary instru-
ments.
** Those observations are intended not only for
the benefit of the Navy, but of tho country and
the world.
" Tho house now occupied, and the Observatory
connected with it, are both private property. The
former is inadequate to the purposes for which it
is intended, Irom its possessing no acoommo*
datiozu for tbo officers in charge ; and the latter
is unfit f^om its size, and unsafe for the valuable
instruments It contains.
** We are indebted to other nations fbr the data
which enable our ships to cross the ocean. Not
only has the Navy fkUed to contribute to the ooo»-
mon stock from which all our navigators borrow,
but our country has never yet published an obser-
vation of a celestial body, which boro the imprest
' by authority,' and it Is believed that until the
observations before alluded to in this report, none
have ever been directed by the GovemmMit wtaM»
can bo considered continuous.
" That great errors exist in the tabulated places
of the heavenly bodies, tho labors of astrouomets
of the present day sufncientiy prove. Indeed, «U
who were at all curious in such matters could not
have failed to remark how great a diflerenoe tiiere
was between the observed and computed times of
the last annular ecliuse visible in the United Statoe.
** Observatories, though not expensive, cannot
irosper in our country until we can obtain rest
rom the pursuit of mercantile af&drs, or their
charge is undertaken by the Government. The
duties are confining; if properly executed, arda*
ous ; and but few are oualifled by exporieoce or
habits to undertake tnem. If officers can be
found with taste for such duties, an Observatory
will eive more information to the world under
a military organlxation, in one year, than under
any other direction in two.
'*A small Obsorvator>- is absolutely essential to
the depot; without it the duties cannot be per-
formed. The present tenement was erected at
private expense, of slight materials, and is en-
tirely unsuited to the wants of the Navy or the
{irotection of tho instruments. From defects in
ts original construction, a considerable portion
of tho heavens is entirely obscured to the ob-
server; nor can these defects be remedied, even
were the building worthy alteration.

blished by the European Qovomments two years
since, and which have a location in almost every

The bill waa identical with the one which sub-

diapoaed of tn the Hooae by reference to the ** Com-
mittee of the Whole on the SUte of the Union."
Om the 23d June, a Ull idenUcal with the one
thaa laid to rest in the Houae, was introduced in
the a«ftte by the Naral Committee of that body.
It paaaro through the sereral stages of legislation
to doe order: without hindrance or objection;
wa»t to the House on the 80th July; was referred
to the aame-eoomittee aa before; but as a Senate
bill jraa treated with courtesy. It waa reported
beck without diacusaioD, passed by the Ilonae
withotit debate, and on the 31st August, 1842, be-
came a law, aa fbllows : —
** Be it enectod by the Senate and House of Re-
maeusilaUna of the United States of America in
Qm^^fem asaemblod: That the Secretary of the
navy be and he is hereby authorized to contract
for tka building of a suitable house for a depot of

Preaftdent of the United Statea may deem suited

On ^e 9th September, nine days afto* the pasa-
a^ of the law, the Secretary of the Nary, '^tak-
fjkg the report of the Naval Committee, which
accompanied the [House] bill as the exiwnent of
the will of Congreas,** confided the preparation of
the plana to lieutenant OUIiss, the present Soper-
tateadcnt. After consulting those Americans

▼Wted Kurope to obtain the counsel of foreign
astienomam, and to make himself acquainted by
pcsaoaal inspection with the latest improvements
m tbe oeastrnctlon of astronomical and magnetic
taaplementa. In March, 1848, he returned home,
haviag ordered the inatruroents under authority
from the SecretaiT of the Navv, and began tlio
arectfcm of the Obaervatory. The building was
eompleted, the Instruments mounted and essen-
tially adjusted, and a library procured within
eighteen montha.

prcaantad a very datallad report of his labors,— >
taking due care, of course, to designate the insti-
tution by tbe name which Congreas had seen fit
to confer upon it. This report is published as

it became an object of great Importance to obtain
instruments of such character In the various de-
partments of astronomy, terrestrial magnetism,
and meteorology (designated by them to be pur-
sued) aa would render the mo«t efficient service
during the longest portion of time. To this end,
eminent advice was sought, and a list prepared ibr
the approval of the honorable Secretary, which,
regarding their ultimate useAiIness as paramount,
still kept economy In view. The list embraced, —
1st. Achromatic refractor.
2d. MeridUn transit.
8d. Prime-vertical transit
4th. Mural cirolo.
6th. Comet-aearcher.
6tb. Magnetic' instruments.
7tb. Meteorological instrumenta.
8th. Books.
**In addition to these to be purchased, there
belong to the Navy a portable forty-two inches
transit Instrument and two clocks purchased by
Lieutenant TVilkes for the Exploring Expedition,
and a thirty-Inches transit circle and two clocks
ordered for the Depot by myself, all which, with a
number of mathematical, astronomical, and other
scientific books, could be rendered uscftil in the
new establishment."
The site selected for the building Is on a hill —
then known as Camp Hill — In the southwostom
part of the city, on the north bank of the Poto-
mac, and ninety-fire feet above high-water mark,
having a horizontal range of a mile and a quarter
to the north and of eight miles southward. This
lilll is of gravel formation, covered with a stratum
of dry, brittle, clayey soil, through which water
filters freely ; and the grounds assigned comprise
about seventeen acrea.
The building consists of a central portion fifty
feet square, which contains a basement and two

L detaiL In addition to the astronomical
obaonratory, a snbterraneoas magnetic obeerrar
tonr was constincted on the most (^iproved prin-
ciples, and f^iroished with the best inatmments
which oould be procored.
At the doae of Beptember, 1S44, Lieutenant
Gilliss reported the Obserratory ready for^MXopa-
tioa. The instruments had been mounlBd and
•4fv<it^ *<mI *» excellent library proTlded.
On the lat of October, Lieutenant M. F. Maury
was assigned to the charge of the institution, and
directed to remove to it the nautical books, charts,
and instruments of the then existing depot. A
cmrps of three lieutenants, six midshipmen, and a
machinist, was assigned him ; and soon after, four
more lieutenants were ordwed to the Obeerrattay.
Among their names may be recognised some
which have already become national, and asso-
ciated with memories of a nation's gratitude
earned by gallant naval service in the present
ttruggle for the preservation of our country and
Within the year, three profeasors were added to
the oorpsuand the all-important assistance of Mr.
Sears C. Walker secured, doubtless at that time
by far the most eminent practical a«tronomor
whom our country had produced. To the ability
and high attainments of Mr. Walker, in connection
vrith ^feasors Coffin, Keith, and the lamented
Hubbard,— all of whom soon took high rank
among astronomers, and whose patriomm and
love <H science led them to regard no personal
•acrifloes as too great,— astronomy owes lar more
than will probably ever be put on record. In the
following year Mr. Ferguson was added to the
aatronomical corps, and the xeal and ability with
which he has emploved the Equatorial are well
known. It is ivobably far within boands to 8«y
that more careful observations have been made
by him with this instmment, than have been
ever made with all the other equatorial telescopes
in the country combined.
Mr. Walker remained but fourteen months at
the Observatory. Circumstances which it Is need-
less to rooount, but which can easily be imagined
by any one. at all conversant with astronomy, who
vrill ntui tne introduction and oppeudix to either
of the two earlier volumes of Washington Obser-
vations, made his continuance at the Observatory
impossible, and in March. 1847, he resigned his
position. But his teachings and influence re-
mained; and an increased number of able profes-
sors and astronomical assistants promised great
•dentlflo progress.
A large scheme of operations had been planned
ibrtbetnstitatkm. OontinaalobssrvatioiMortkK
son. moon, and ftmdamental stan were to ba ka|il
up by each of the three meridiaa inatnuneota,
and observaUons ui all the mooa-colminattiig
Stan of the Nantlcal Almanac by the Tranm
Instrumoit. The Prime-Vertical instrument was
to be constantly employed in obaervatioua of cer-
tain special stars ; for the measurement of paral-
lax if ponible; to obaerve as manv stars of the
first and second magnltade as mif^t be ; and ip
form a catalogue of derllnationa of stars Pttming
near the senith. The Equatmlal was to himisi
full observations of the relative posttiona, ooloi:
and macnitude of double stars, as Struve had
already done in a much less favoraUe geogn^ihi-
cal positton ; of clusters and nebulas; of oocalt»>
tions; of comets and newly-disoovered planetary
bodies. And, besides these, the three Meridian In-
struments wwe to be actively engaged in none
observations, systematically organised, and ex-
tending as fitf as 46^ S., at which paraUel the ob-
servations were to begin.
At the cloee of 1845 the first volume of Wash-
ington Observations was publisbed, bearing the
di2e September 1, and under the name **Aiitro-
nomical Observations made at the U.8. Naval Ob-
servatory." It was on the whole a very creditable
work for American astronomy. Besides a fair
amount of observations with the two Isaiiatt
instruments, in the meridian and the prioM verti-
cal and with the Mural (Srcle, it contained varionB
important investii^tions of the errors and oorrso-
titMM peculiar to the several instroments,— tnvM-
tigations which must nocessarilv be made m pr»>
llminary to the soooessftil employment of astro-
n<Mnioal instruments, but which— espedaJly Um
discussion of the various peculiarities of the Mand
Orde— were carried out with remarkable ahiUty.
Bfr. Walker's Invcstigatfon of the latitude (whi^
he fixed as 38° 63^ 89^.25 for tha centre of the
dome, a value which there has thus fiur seemed no
occasion for modifying) ;— Professor Coffin's mas-
terly discussion of the adjustments of the Mural
Circle, a model dissertation of its kind; his ex-
pansion of Bessel's Refkvction tables ;— Mr. Walk-
er's Comparis(m of the Standard Thermometera,—
are all of great value. The instruments are r^
described and rcfigured; but all this material waa
so extraordinarily combined, was cemented with
such unscientific phraseology, and interq>ened
with such unsdentiflc ideas, that the volomo
seems not to have received the credit, nor ita
results the confidence, to which they are &irly
entitled.
In 1851, the second volume of Obeerrations ap-
peared, the name of the institution being changed
upon tho title-page to "National (HMmrvatory.*
This volume comprised all the observations of
the year 1848, excepting the nones, and contained
numerous observations of sun, moon, planets, and
comcta, together vdth the observed positlona of
nearly six hundred stars. The volume tta 1847,
which was published In 1853, contains nearly tha
some amount of results as its predecessor, but,
like that, omits the aono observatfons. The vol-
ume for 1848 was issued in 1850, the name of tha
Institution being again changed to ^'U.SJf . Obaar-
vatory,"— the Siecretory of the Navy having in
1864 directed the discontinuance of the vrard
" NationaL" inasmuch as it was in no strict sanaa
a national institution, though pre-eminently a
naval one.— the expenses being aetnjtA entiraj ,
through tne Navy Department, and a clanse ap-

able acta of his had already been discorered. Only
tsro hours previous to his fllf^t be had waited

WW annually Toted to the Obeenratory, for Ta-
zlous purposes connected with its hydrographical

of Piefussor Keith; the unwearying devotion and
acconte obeervation of Professor Tamall ;— these,
aad the exertions of other able and aealons men,
all oontriboted towards the value of the results.
Bat interqMrsed with theee were the observations
ef mamr others, who had neither taste Ibr astro*
Mosy, knowledge of its simplest laws, nor ao-
foaintaaoe with tlie nature of Instruments. When
erdsred to the Obstoratory by the Navy Depart-
■snf. thev obeyed the order; when directed by
the Supenntendent to observe, they observed as
well M tbey could; nor are they to be blamed If
ttabr obeervatioas are not of higfa value. Onlv

that its value should not be entirely dependent on

And it is, moreover, a flagrant ground for censure
that the observations of an Insdtution claiming ta
rank in the first class should remain unreduced
fbr ten, twelve, and oven fifteen years, while hun-
dreds of thousands of dollars approprii^ by
Consress and available fbr the purpose were ex-
penaed in performing work of vwy questionable
value and of very certain inaccuracy.
The present Superintendent of the Obeenratory
took charge of the InstHntlon at the close of
April, 1861, and In February, 1862, the volume of
obe«-vations for the year 1861 was sent to the
printer. In the prefktory notice. Captain GilUss
says:—
^On taking charge of this establishment at the
cloee of April last, I fbund that the following ob>
servHtions, made prior to the 1st of January, 1861,
had not been prei>ared for the press, tlMt^gh con-
siderable pnwrees had been made in the reduo*

Meteoroloi^cal Observations, from July, 1842;
to December, 1860.
** The xone and magnetical oboervatlons were dis-
continued at the dates last named for each, and
the Magnetical Instruments were never mounted
after their removal fhim the building formerly
occinried near Georgetown.
** R being physically Impossible for the small
corps of observers to compute their current obeer*
vations and prepare tlUs mass of work ftA^print-
Ing within anv reasonable period, a proposition
was submitted to Hon. Gideon Welles, Secretary
of the Navy, for authority to place the astronomi-
cal portion in charge of a competent astronomer
not connected with the Observatory. Appreciating
the ikct that early publication measurably en-
hances the value ot observations, the honorable
Secretary recommended the measure to the favor-
able consideration of Gongress ; and, the necessary
authority having been granted by that honorable
body, a corps of copyists was at once employed to
transcribe on properly ruled forms all tne obsei^
vations contained In the record-books.
**The progress already made in the computa-
tions secures the publication ot a volume imme-
diately after the present one can be passed through
the press. After the copyists shall have com-
pleted the Eone sheets, they will be employed In
reducing the maffnetical and meteorologiod oIh
servatioDs; and should no unforeseen event occur
to cause delay, the whole ot the observations will
be preeented to the public within three years.
** Commencing with the year 1861, It is designed
that the meteorological observations shall consti-
tute part of each annual volume."

tor the sonee obeenred with other inatmmeDts in
thftt j^KT h«4 alflo boon completed, and as it yrill
prolMtbly be within bonnd« to estimate the labor
Suired for completing the redaction of these
bteen eets of cones as being equal to that of
adng twelve rolumes of the other current ob-
serrationa, it will be safe to say, that, while but
•ix out of the sixteen years' current obeerTations
Ittd been reduced, only one-ninth part of the
aone reductions had been completed, although
these obnenrations were not continuea after the
year 1851. None of the meteorological or mag-
netical obsenrations had been prepared at all.
A careltil examination of the data upon which
the sone redactions most be based, led to the
r^ection of the cones for 1860 and 1851 in total,
as not possessing the requisites for successful com-
putation. The amount of computation to be done
was thus Tery much reduced, and the entire mass
of remaining obserrations is now ready for the
ininter,— with the exception of those cones which,
although not containing within thoroselTes all the
alements required, can yet be proTided with th«m
by obserrations now making R>r the purpose.
It would be unjust not to mention in thiH con-
nection that the Equatorial obecrvations of Mr.
Ferguson had for the most part already under-
gone a preliminary reduction by that gentleman
himself; and that Profosnor Yamall had In like
manner, of his own accord,*done much towards
preparing his own observations with the Mural.
Still, at least flve-seventtu of all the astronomical
work of the Observatory remained unroducod in
April, 1861, as well as the whole of the meteoro-
Ic^cal observations. The magnetic instruments
were not employed, as has been stated.
Ttie volume for 1862 was ready for the printer
OB the 1st of January, 1863; and but for the dif-
flcoity of obtaining promptness fW>m the Govern-
mwit printing-ofBce under the present circum-
stances, not only this but all the observations of
the omitted years would long since have been
published. The observations in 1861 give the ob-
aonred positions of the sun, moon, planets, and
about 1680 fixed stars. Those in 1802 embrace the
positions of the moon at all hours, the sun, three
ooraets, sixteen asteroidvall the large planets,
many double stars, and 2267 fixed stars. And it
Is b«Aieved that these observations are Inferior in
accuracy and correctness of reduction to none
made at any Observatory existing. There is also
an elaborate discussion of the longitude of the
Observatory, as deduced firom all the moon-culmi-
nations obserred since 1845, and a series of corred
illustrations of the aspects of Mars and of one of
the comets as seen with the Equatorial.
Among the important duties of the institution
Is that of furnishing to all Government veesels
the requisite charts and instruments for naviga-
tlM&,— chronometers, sextants, compasses, spy-
classes, log and sounding apparatus, fto. The
balance of the appropriation for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1b61, which remained unexpended
when the present Superintendent took charge
at the end of April, sufficed to procure the reduc-
tion of all the observations, and to equip lUl the
vanels called into service by the omerconcies of
the war. During the past year the establishment has
kept five hundred vessels supplied with charts and
iaatnimenta, being ten times the number which the
whole Navy counted before the war ; and, best of
alL this has been done under the now oittablished
p«Ucy (for which we may thank the zeal of the
Superintendent and the enlightened views of Che
Navy Department) that the productioos of Am»>
rican artists shall always be preferred, that tlM
best mechanical talent in the country shall be
stimulated to the construction of the instrumeata,
until we may now proudly say that better nauti-
cal instruments are made at home, and for a Icaa
price, than evor came to us fhim Europe.
The amount expended upon the **Wlnd and
Current Charts" by the Observatory nnder Ita
late Superintendent was about $330,000. If tfa^
were accurately prepared, and only proper mate-
rial used, three hmes the amount would not have
been too much to pay. But the Navy Department
has recently referred the subfect of their conti-
nuance to a committee of the National Academy ;
and, if rumor speaks true as to tlie result at which
they have arrived, it may well be doubted whe*
ther science, navigation, or American reputation
abroad have been advanced by the charts alluded
to.
Such has been the hlstorv of the Naval Obaer*
vatory. While on the one hand it may, perfaapa,
be questioned whether the advancement of science
and the intellectual progress of the United Statea
might not have been better subserved by as insti-
tution on a less restricted bosis, by a truly na-
tional Obsnratory, whose officers should be ap>
pointed solely with reference to their scieutifla
attainments without r^;ard to naval conunissiona,
we may find much cause for satisfiwction that it la
at present under the charge of an experienced
observer, and that its present astronomical assist-
ants are fitted for their positions both by taste
and education. It is probably at this moment
making a lai^^ amount of good obscrvatioits
than any observatory in existence, the quality of
the work as well as its quantity being caxeftUly
regarded, and the constant aim being to direct
the energies of the institution to such objects as
the present condition of astronomy most dis-
tinctly indicates to be desirable. The number of
assistants is less by more than fourteen than the
average number employed by the late Superin-
tendent.
During the year 1847, a dwelling for the Super-
intendent was erected immediately ea«t of the
Observatory; and in the following year the east
wing was extended twenty-four feet, so as to con-
nect it with the former building. The room thus
added is used for the chronometers and other in»
s^ruments belonging to the Navy. Of the foror
rooms on each floor of the central building, one
is occupied as a library-room and office for the
Superintendent; two are filled with charts pn^
perly arranged for distribution to ships of the
Navy, and the remainder on the first and second
floors are assigned to the assistants. A standard
clock by Keesels, and a standard barometer by
Green, are mounted in the office of the Superin-
tendent. One rot>m of the basement has been
fitted as a workshop for the machinist; instru-
ments returned fh>m ships and needing repairt
ore temporarily placed in a second one ; and the
other two are used for store-rooms. All of them,
together with the separating halls, are heated by
iron pipon through which hot water circulates
from a boiler under the residence of the Superin-
tendent.
The present instruments of the Observatory are
those with which it was originally provided,
although roost of them have since undergone
some mechanical or optical modification, In trwj

voted to nautiral and other instruments for naval
purposes. CutH« to contain the chronometers,
and shelves, ^c, are so disposed as to accommo-
date the largest number and facilitate their ex*
amlnation or distribution. The clock used in
rating the chronometers was made for the old
Depot of Chartti and Instruments by Messrs. Paik-
inson k FrodAham, and is similar to that of the
west wing. It U mounted upon a granite pier, la
the southwest comer of the room, and, except the
Kessols' cloclc, its performance is more satisfiotory
than that of any other one beloncing to the esta*
blishment To fikcilitate and render mam certain
the comparison of chronometers when noise ren-
ders the beat inaudible, it is provided with an
electro-magnetic battery, connected by wires with
a heavy-sounding tilt-hammer placed near the
chronometer cases, which strikes seconds audibly
at each impact of its pendulum index with the
mercury globule.
*'The Transit in the prime vertical is in the
north room of tho south wing. The telescope has
an aperture of 4.85 inches, and a focal length of
seventy-eight inches. It is attached to one ex-
tremity of an axis forty-two inches long, the other
extremity carrying a counterpoise. The pivots of
the axis are of fine steel, 3.5 inches in diameter,
and are hollow. The telescope and its counter-
poise are outside of the supporting pier, but their
weights are transferred to the b^iring points of
the Ys by levers and other counterpoises within
the pivots and axis. Its pier is a wide monolith,
whose centra] portion has been cut out for the ac-
commodation of a reversing apparatus of spedal
construction.
"The instrument has not been in use for seve*
ral years, and such had been its neglect that it was
necMsary to dismount and grind out the oxidation
of its pivots and make other extensive repairs.
These were very successfully performed by Mr.
William Wurdemann and the machinist, of the
Observatory, and observations in the prime verti-
cal are now made.
♦♦ The clock was made by Charles Frodsham, and
is mounted against a granite pier placed east of
the prime vertical transit instrument. Instead
of glass, it has a steel cylinder for the mercury of
its penduhun, and the pendulum-rod screws into
a <xp covering the upper part of it. The pendu-
lum index has a single knife-edge, like the. clock
of the west wrlnir.

As a nutter of popular information for the
benefit of those who read and wonder at the
accounts of astronomical observations which re-
cord the movements of the heavenly bodies to
tht htmdredthpart qf a geeond of time, we extract
fh>m a pamphlet issued by one of our colleges the
following description of the instrument fluod the
method by which that wonder is performed.
The elegant instrument of Prof. W. C. Bond,
known as the ** Magnetic Register,** or ** Spring
Governor,** is one, by and upon which, through
the influence of electro-magnetism, the instant of
time at which an obsorraoon takes place can be
precisely recorded. By means of very delicate
machinery regulated by the " Spring Governor,**
a contrivance at once peculiar and beautifVil, a
horizontal cylinder, thirteen Incboa long and six
in diameter. Is made to revolve with ^eat uni-
formity, predsely once per minute of sidereal
time. Around this cylinder is clamped a sheet
of paper; and upon this rests a glass pen filled
with Ink, which, as the cylinder turns from under
it. marks a line fhim end to end of the sheet.
Tnis line, in length. Is the exact measure of the
duration of one minute of time. Upon the op-
posite end of a delicate lever, to which the glass
pen is attached, is a small vortical iron bar, known
as an " armature,** resting close in front of, but
not in contact with, the ** poles'* of a soft Iron
horseshoe magnet. This magnet Is colled with
wire, and Is In the circuit of a galvanic battery.
which circuit Is also, by an ingenious _
ment, made to pass through a fine sted spring
dipping into a globule of nulcksilver directly be-
neath the pendulum of a sidereal clock. Attached
to the lower extremity of the pendulum is a small
Ivory index, which, at every vibration, drives the
little spring out of the mercury, but instantly on
passing, allows It to return. In this manner the
circuit Is almost instantaneously iNroken and
closed, at the termination of each second of time;
and this *' break** 'and ** make"* of circuit are at
once answered by the pen, in obedience to the
action or rest of the magnet with which it Is oott-
nected,thu8 dotting upon the sheet, as it revolvsa^
the sixty seconds constituting the minute of its
revolution. The movement of the "armature**
from the magnet during the instantaneous re*
lease of the latter from the influence of the
galvanic circuit, is effected by a little bow spring;
and, in order that the pen shall not return upon
the lines already described, the whole magnet ia
moved forward on a miniature railwav, by means
of a cord passing round the axle of one of the
main wheels of the " Spring Governor.** By means
of this instrument and a "brMk circuit** keT,
alwavs near his hand, the observer, by simply
touching a delicate spring, is enabled to rsoord
with the utmost degree of precision in among tbe
second marks of the clock, the time of any ob*
servatlon he may wish to obtain, to the huadredtk
part of a second.

A ooaparlioa between the years 1860 and 1862
ai%nila a high state of agricultural prosperity.
tla% however, cannot be attributed altogeUier to
aMyidnr adrance^ but, to some extent, to the
tet that the crop of 1860, of which the Census
«M tekMi, was below an ayerage crop, whilst
that af 1882 was the best erer before produced.
Aa etof or Tobacco is the only one exhibiting a
and *63.— The Froiti of tiie Snnimer
decrease, and this was caused by the war in Ken-
tucky and Missouri, which SUtes, in 1860, pro*
duosd 183,188,628 lbs. One-fourth of this was do-
ducted in the estimates for 1868, on account of
the war. The Tobacco crop, in 1860, of ad the
States, was 420,864.761 lbs., and that of the loyal
States, in 1863, 267,302,770 lbs., a difference of
162,061,081 lbs., showing that, greatly as this crop
has been increased, it may yet be ftirther in-
creased with profit.
The aggregate of the summer crops of 1868 sur-
passes that of 1862, large as it was. But the fall
crops, with the exception of Tobacco, are less, and
especially the national crop of Corn. This do*
crease is attributable to two cauMS, the drought
of eariy summer in Iowa, Wisconsin, Illlnoii^ In-
diana and Ohio, and to the early and destructire
/rotU of August 30th and September 18th. The
Tbbocco crop, also, was much injured by the first
of these frosts, but as much of It had been har-
Tcsted before the frost, and the acreage planted
much greater than that of 1862, the yfold ex-
ceeded that of 1862.
The fro.^ts in the Mississippi Talley, during the
summer and foil of 1868, are so remarkable, and
were so destructive, that a more particular refor*
ence to them is demanded.
Brought and cold seem to be associated. ** The
cold winter,'* says Mr. Flint, In his article on the
climate of New Bngland, **of 1607, resembling
that of 1641, preceded a summer marked by**
sore and long-continued drought' in July and
August. In 1748 the drought was intense in New
England ; and this summer was followed by so
hard a winter that * the suffering was intense.' "
In 1740 there was another seTcre drought, and
this summer was succeeded by a winter so hard
*' that it was difflcolt to keep cattle aliire." In
1761 there was another ••melancholy dry time;**
the winter following "long and dreary;" and the
summer of 1762 accompanied by a drought of
"terrible severity .** Without rvforring to any
more instances during the earlier history of the
country, we may cite the droughts of 1864 and
1866, and the winters following these years, as
still fresh in the recollection of all, for their in-
tense severity.
In the Mississippi Talley, the spring of 186S
was unfavorable generally, on account of severe
drought In May and June, and, in extensive dis-
tricts, continuing into July. The drought, In the
Eastern States, gave way. in June, to fiivorable
rains; but, in many parts of niinois, Indiana,
Iowa and Ohio, it continued in great severity dar-
ing June, and part of July, when mln fell in
these States, it was sncceednd, about the middle
of July, by an extenriro froj«t in the west and
north-western States, ** sufiSciently serere, in low
situations, to injure com, sorgbum, and toma-
toes."
Favorable weather followed this frost, during
which the foil crops rapi<Ily advanced, and pro-
mised a favorable yield. The weather, generally,
was very warm. But, on the 22d of August, the
thermometer rapidly fell in Minnesota, and, in
less than a day, the change was twenty-three de-
grees. It conUnned to den^nd, and, on the
morning of the 20th, ice formed, about an eighth
of an inch in tbicknes.^ and com was killed In

plMM. In Mebnu^ka, Iowa imd Wi»ron«in, the
fall, daring the unine dnys, wiw more than thirty-
two degreen. In Kansas and .Mii^ftouri the change
waa aa ffreat, but took place between the night
of the 23d and that of the iiOtb. In IlUnoia, Indi-
ana and Michigan, tlie fall, in the thermometer,
waa to the name number of defnven, although tlie
time wax between the 24th and aist. But the cold
lUr was ao far mitigated, when it had reached the
middle of Ohio, aa to be of little i^Jnry to the cropa.
The atmospherical oonditiona, Immediately pre-
eedlng those changes, were strong winds, blowing
fh>m the south-west, Teering to the west, then to
the north-west, and settling doe north. They
blew with Tiolenoe orer l^ke Saperior, and exhi-
bited all the charaeterlstica of a oold storm. The
destrnction by this fkiist was Tery irregular; one
field was doatroyed, whilst an adjoining one was
untoucJied, showing that warm and cold currents
of air were in oontact, but not blended in a uni-
form temperature. In low planes, unprotected by
fttgp, the crops suffered most, because the oold air,
being heariest, flowed Into low places, displacing
but not mixing with the warm air over them.
The uplands suffered least, for the warm air, ele-
rated by the oold air underneath, spread over
them. Hills protected crops lying immediately
south of them, by checking the progress of the
cold air coming from the north. All theae phe-
nomena indicate that the cold air came fh>m the
extreme north. But meteorolo^ cannot satisfac-
torily determine the causes that brought it south-
wards. When general rains fall, the diange from
Tapor to rain, in oondensation, liberatea an im-
mense latent heat, which rapidly raises the tem-
perature of the air into which it passes, causing
its rapid ascension. The motion would extend to
the air beneath, especially when warm, and the
vacuum thus created would be filled by the oold
air from the north. Again, when the atmosphere
next to the earth Is greatly heated, a aimilar a»-
cension would be the result, prodndng a Tacuum
which would be filled in a like manner. In these
dianges, the surrounding atmosphere becomes im-
plicated, resulting in the general displacement
noticed. Or it may be that terrestrial magnetism
and the electrical condition of the air and earth
are the chief causes. In the Monthly Report of
the Agricultural Department, it is aaid, that
*' changes, similar In kind, though less distinctly
marked, so fitr from being unusuHl, are exhibited
in the meteorological records of every season."
This is true of the climate of the Mississippi Val-
ley, which having no mountain range to intercept
the north and north-west winds, or any warm sir
of ocean currents to mitigate them, is expoeed to
the greatest extremes of atmospheric changes.
But frosts, so untimely and so seTere, are, fortu-
natnly, sddom experienced there.
After the frost of the 80th of August, the wea-
ther continued cool for scTeral days, during which
the crops made but little progress in maturing,
and the earth rapidly cooled. But on the 13th
of September a rapid elevation of the temperature
took place, reaching, in Nebraska, to eighty-three
degrees. But, on the 16th, it rapidly fell, and, on
the 18th, had (alien forty-six degrees below the
temperature of the 13th. On the 18th, the fro»t
was general throughout the West, and, on account
of the cooling of the earth, fkr more destmctive
than the fl-ost of August It had a similar pro-
gress to that one : the winds were the same, occu-
pying about two days iu passing from the remote
western States to the ettstam, and raoalvfnf Am
same modification of teiuperatnre in tbair pa»
sage. The causes producing these frosts were ap-
parently the same. They were preceded by great
heat, rains following, accompanied with high
winds, which changed rapidly from the aoatb to
the north by the west.
On the 22d of October, a snow fell over nearly
all of the West, commencing in Utah on the 18th,
at Green Bay, in Wisconsin, on the 22d, at Fort
Riley. Kansas, at St. Paul, Minneaota, in lllinoia
and Indiana on the same day, changing to rain In
Ohio and eastward, and reaching the ocean abont
the 24th. This snow seems to have been attended
with the same peculiarities as the fWtsta. .\t
Oreen Bay, it tell to the depth of one Saoit-mxtd la
Indiana of about three inches.
Sinoe then, the weather waa favorabla to the
recently-sown crops for 1864, and for all flu»-
work. Pastures were in good condition, and
farm-stock required no other fbod up to the mid-
die of December.

From the Annual Report of the Agricaltaral
Department for 1802, we take the following ax>
tract. 1 1 is from the report of Mr. Boll man. Chief
Clerk of the Statistical Division of that Depart-
ment, to the CommlssionerofAgricnlturw, in whk^
from the Census sUtistics of I860 and 1S60, he ooa-
ments on the great agricultural proaparlty of the
country during the decade between these Taara.
No one, he says, can examine the tablea of
those statistics wlthont making a compnriMm be-
tween the progress of the sections of our country
now known as the loyal and disloyal States, so that
be may aee the causea, if any exist, which h«T«
led to a rebellion now desolating so many por-
tions of the South, and consigning to unknown
and premature gravaa ao many American oiti-
xens.
The following table will aid in Instituting such
comparison. It shows the per cent, increaw, trom

of the oountry during the last decennlnl period
between 1860 and I860, we see that the irAUth haa
not only shared in it. but has outstripped the

claring that the oetlmfttcs are eren too low; but,
overborne by the prevsiilinp; doctrines of tlie
** diduiul sohool," be deserts his data and bis convic-
tions, and simply adds tbirty>tiiree and a third per
cent, for the Increase of twenty years, for no as-
signable reason except that McCuIloch had said,
"sixty years is the shortest time in which the
capital of an old and denst^Iy-peopled country can
be expected to be doubled." But, according to
Lowe and Porter, the wealth of the kingdom
nearly doubled In eighteen years — firom 1823 to
1841 ; according to Porter and Levi, it increaaed
60 per cent, in seventeen years, at which rate it
would double in about twenty-nine years. Por-
ter's estimate for 1841 is an increase over tho
amount at which these people put the valuation
in 1812, at a rate which would double in thirty-
two years. Levi's £6,000,000,000 in 1858 is an In-
crease of 185i per cent, in forty-six years, and
would be 126i per cent, on Ck>lquhoun's estimate,
if his *' extravagant hypotheses and exaggera-
tions" were accepted as the true valuation of 1812.
Nothing can save these calculators from still
greater extravagance than they charge upon Col-
qnhoun, but their admission that his statement is
moderate and Just. Thus McCuUoch's sixty-year
period of doubling is totally demolished, oven by
the showing of those who have permitted them-
selves to bo overruled by it. Pobrer quotes a
report of the House of Commons in 1830, which
showed that in Ireland the increase of wealth
was far greater than of population. He knew
that this was also true of France. He even states
tho general opinion of all the economists of the
productive school in confirmation; yet he submits
■o far to the " authorities" as to assign a much
lower rate of increase in the wealth than in the
population of the United Kingdom for the period
ttom 1812 to 1833.
Leone Levi, one of the latest and most approved
of this sect of economists, puts tho increase of
the nation's wealth at 122 per cent, iu the period
1800 to 1841, and at 60 per cent, from 1841 to 1858,
an accurately even rate of accumulation, — ^for as
41Is to 122, so is 17 to 50. This is arithmetic, not
enumeration, estimation, or appraisement. A
period, one-half of which elapsed before the
modem improvements in manufactures and agri-
culture were fidrly introduced, cannot approach
such equality of wealth-producing power with
that which covers all the productive agencies
brought into service between 1811 and 1858.
The estimates which, for want of authorities, we
have supplied, are made in conformity with the
doctrines and data of those qnoted in the table.
The results show that no concordance can be
effected, and help to expose the absence of theo-
retic and practical truth, in the principles and
process which they adopt
All the English statisticians exclude the British
national stocks or funds, and all bonds, mortgages,
acceptances, and other evidences of domestic
debt, from their estimates of the people's wealth.
Lowe rejects jewelry, household furniture, and
oroaments; he admits the houses that twenty
millions of people live in, and the lumber they
are made of, but he excludes the wearing-apparel
they live in, while he puts the rendy-niade manu-
factures at as high a figure as Colquhoun does.
UcCnlloch's definition of capital excludes jewelry,
but embraces race-horses; with him it is nothing
but ••that porUon of the produce of industry
which maybe made directly available, either for
the support of human eslBtonce, or the CMUitating
of prodnction.** This is what capital means fn
the current language of tradesmen ; but he gives
it as the true dutinition in the science of political
economy. Pebrer includes the industry of a na-
tion iu bis definition as if he intended to capitiUiM
it, but, of courrf*s ho gives only the value of im-
plements and machinery, and not of tho men and
women that employ them in production.
Statisticians are generally held to be eminently
practical people; on tho coutrai-y, they are more
given to theorizing than any other class of writem,
and are generally less expert in it.
2. The annual products of industry and capital,
as stated in percentage of tho capital-wealth of
the British Empire, look as if they might bo tme^
and might also afford a law of the relation. They
hold a pretty regular proportion to the given
capital through all the periods tabled, declining
in proportion as capital increases, which is doubt-
less truo; but, closely examined, these annual in-
comes appear to come by arithmetical rules, or
are at least controlled by them. They decline
from 15 to 10 per cent, of tho capital in sixtj'-five
years with tolerable regularity, but there is no
law of the subject in them, for they are certainly
not true fiGM:ts. When the distributive share of
each person in the product of the year is ex-
amined, it is manifestly inadequate at onco to the
current support of the people and the constant
accumulation of wealth, though taken at its
lowest statement.
We conclude that tho authorized estimates of
the capital and annual income of tho British
Seople need reformation, and, cspecUJly, that the
octrines of Malthus and Ricardo must be dis-
carded by their statisticians if the facta and
figure of universal experience are ever to get
allowance.
3. Capital wealth and annual product of the
United States and of the loyal States: —
The first attempt to obtain the data by actual
investigation was made by tho United States Mar-
shals in 1840. Since that time we liave official
valuations more and more complete at the end of
each census decade. That these tliree inventories
of the property of the Union are all defective in
tho matters intended to bo embraced, and under-
stated also in valuation, is well known. There is
not an item in which they are suspected of over-
statement.
We are lndel>ted to Professor Tucker for hit
digest of the Census of 1840, and to him and the
Secretary of tlu) Treasury (Mr. Guthrie) for the
like sen-ice in 1850. Tlie valuation of property
in 1860 for the Union and for the loyal Statw*, we
have fkt>m the Cemtis Bureau. From the ofHdat
returns of both 1850 and 1860, wo have subtracted
the value of the slaves, which was included in
the official aggregates, holding them, fbr all the
purposes of our inquiry, as producers and con-
sumers of wealth, and not as property, otherwise
than the laborers of any other counti^ are a part
of their national wealth and resources.
The property value of the loyal States at mid-
summer, 1863, we have estimated by adding to its
amount in 1860 tho average increase of the decade
ending tluit year, and not at the market-prices
ruling In 1863.
Tlio estimates for the other periods In tho tabla
for which no authority is qnoted, are our own,
under guidance of suoh data as we coald com-
mand.
Tho valne of the year's products in 1860 is ob-
tained by taking the agricnltmml piquets of tfant

the value of the niMiufiftcturcs ooo-third tor the
mw niAteriale, which are included in the esti-
mate of the agricaltural values; and by adding
400,000,000 for the profits of commerce.
We have not room, here, to descril>e the procees
by which we obtain the year's product for 1800 in
toe lojfol 8tat«s. No labor or care has been
q>ared in obtaining it.
The annual product put down in the table to
the United States in the several periods, is in all
instances greatly below the .truth. The share
iUlowed to each person stands at $02.28 in 1840,
and at $80.41 in 1850; but the expenditure or
consumption per head, in these years, cannot be
estimated at leas than $100; and the consumption
per h^ul in 1860 was at least equal to the amount
allowed by the stated production of the year.
Beside this deficiency of provision for the current
rabsistenco of the people, there is the accumula-
Hon of capital wealth to be accounted for, amount<
log to 3,410,000,000 in the former period, and to
the enormous sum of 8,009,000,000, or an increase
of 130 per cent^ in the hktter.
We need not stop here to estimate the sponta-
BeouB growth of our national wealth, or that en<
bancement of value which occurs in real estate
bv the rapid settlement of our wild lands, and
auwMt as rapid growth in the value of the fixed
property in the older States, which, of course,
would account for a very considerable part of the
apparent disinrity between the property value
and the annual production, because on unques-
tionable deficiency in the reported products occurs
in the following particulars, for which the Census-
takers are not responsible : —
Thtj take no account of the current consump-
tion c^ our agricniturists -and of their (amilles
and employees. In 1840, this class amounted to
three-fourths of the total popuhuion, and ap-
proached the same proportion in 1850; nor are
any manufiKrturing or meclumical products of the
Tear returned whose annual value falls below
$600, Beside all this, which probably amounts to
oae-fonrth of the total annual product, no account
li taken of the labor employed in clearing and
Improving land, in building riiilroadB, canals,
boosea, manufactories, steamships, and other voe-
•ale; nor of the htbor employed in coal-mines;
nothing of the prodncts of the fine arts, nor of a
large portion of the products of the usefhl arts ;
all of wliich may be very safely stated as equal to
half the value of the agricultiural and manufnc-
toring products noticed by the Census -takers.

; these appear in the valuation of the pro-
perty of the country in the decennial Census
appraisementB, and help to swell the obvious dis-
parity. The very considerable increase of the
values of 1863 over those of 1800, is owing to the
fmct that the growth of wealth in the loyal States
te so ranch great«r than the average enhancement
in the whole Union before the severance of the
c«timate4 given' in the tabular statement. The
■MMt surprising of our statements are precisely
those which have been most carefully considered
and best verified.
4. Population colnnm. No official ennmeratiun
of the people of England, Wales, and Scotland
was made previous to tlie year 1801, and no com-
plete enomeration in Ireland till 1821. The popu-
btiun of the United Kiugtlom for otlier years
•tated, la obtahied by cakuhition.
Hie population of the United States for every
Census-year, is the official return for the date.
For other years it is estimated by Tucker's rule
of 8 per cent, increase per annum, except for the
loyal States in 1863, to which his rule does not
apply. In time of peace, with immigration at ita
average rate, the loyal States would have had a
population of 24,500,000 in June, 1663; but allow-
ing iialf a million for loss by the casualties of
war, deficiency of births, and of customary immi-
gration,—considerably too large an allowance, —
would leave 24,000,000 as we have stated it. In
the number given to the loyal States in 1860, the
Census returns for that year are exactly followed,
the counties which now constitute West Virginia
being included.
6. British debt. The authority for the amount
of British debt and annual charge Onterest and
management), is the financial reports presented
to Parliament and published by order of the
House of Commons, except for the year ending
March 31, 1863, which is taken fh>m the Royia
Almanac for 1864, in which, however, the capital
of the unfunded debt is not given. We have cal-
culated it fW>m the rates of interest which its
items severally bear.
It must be observed that the Exchequer bills
ref|uirod to meet deficiencies of the last quarter
of the current y<Hur, and which are issued in the
first quarter of the ensuing year, are not included
in the first statement of the debt and interest.
This deficiency was, in March, 1 862, nearly 2,000,000
poimds sterling. Moreover, very considerable dif-
ferences of the total amount of the debt and an-
nual charge are met with in the best authorities.
Some of Ihem capitalize the terminable annuities,
adding the amount to- the ^'debt;'* some charge
them to the annual intotcst account, and some
overlook them. Properly they have no principal,
nor do they represent the« interest of cash bor»
rowed and paid into the Exchequer. They gene-
rally express the depredation of loans, or part of
the depreciation of loans sold at a nominal price
above their market value. Generally, they are
compensatory payments. Nevertheless their arith-
metical principal is as much a part pf the debt
proper as aro the consols, which art perpettuxl an-
nuities, have no principal demandable by the
holders, and whose capital is simply the market-
price at which they sell at the brokers board.
They differ fVom the United States debt in this,
tltat the Exchequer is under no contract to pay or
reimburse the capital of the debt at any time.
The very considerable variance of the debt and
annual charge in 1858 and 1861, was occasioned by
the expiry of terminable annuities in 1859 and
1860.
The increase of the capital of the debt in 1858
over its amount in 1S50 was produced by a loan
of £16,000,000 taken in April, 1855, by the Messrs.
Rothschild at the rate of £100 in consols for every
£100 cash subscribed, and a terminable annnlty
for thirty years of 14«. 6c/. for every £100 of »toi k,
— that is, at tlie rate of 3.725 per cent for thirty
years, and 3 per cent, thereafter. This js reckoned
as equivalent to a loan in consols at 87 1, wijlch i:<
the same thing as saying that the loan was con-
tracted at 3.425 per cent. The Increase of the
debt in 1863 over the amount in 1860-1, may be
accounted for by an excess of expenditure over
ordinary revenue In 1861 and 1862, resulting, in
1863, in an increase of the total debt of about
$15,000,000.
The annual charge in 1863 waa lessened as com-

pared with that of 1858 upon a nearly equal prln>
dpal, in part by tho expiry of terminable annol-
llea, chai^;ed as interest, and in part bT the re-
daoed rate of interest on the floating debt in the
latter year; banlc interest ranging through the
flsoal year 1858 at 5 to 10 per cent, and in the year
ending March, 1863, at 2i to 3 per cent^ and in
the money-market foiling from 12 per cent, in tho
former to 6 and 5 in the latter ; besidee, 5,000,000
of Exchequer bonds oatstanding in 1858 were re-
duced to ^418,800 in 1863.
These statements are made to caution the reader
against authors who report the debt and charge
from official summaries. Upon turning from such
tabular statements to the account of annual ex-
penditure published under tho same official
sanction, it will be found that the amount of the
annual charge sometimes varies as much as
£3,000,000.
6w United States debt and interest Our debt is
official for erery period stated. For 1863 it is
given as it stood on the books of the Treasury on
me 1st of October. It is treated in the other
columns of the table as chargeable upon the peo-
8Ie and property of the loyal States only. And
tie annual interest stated is the amount which
the principal would carry for the year ending
October 1, 1864. if the principal remained so long
mchanged. The proportion of this Interest to
the annual income of the year, is stated at 1^ per
oant This would be true if the annual income
of the people were correctly given ; but if, as we
ffoppoae, this is put down at two-thirds of its real
amount, the burden of interest upon the people's
inoome would be something less tnan nine-tenths
of 1 percent.
The proportion of the total debt of the United
States to the private property of the loyal Stipes,
■tated at 8f per cent, nearly, means that the value
of oar property in 1863, at the prices ruling be-
fore the rebellion, if standing at the amount given
in the pnq;>erQr-colamn twenty years hence, or at
the matority of the debt, would b« aa $100 to
$8.77 of debt, and takes no account of the en-
hancement of our wealth in the mean time.
What that shall be when the debt is to be reim-
bursed, cannot now be foretold or even imagined.
If it shall increase during the two next decennial
periods following the year 1868, at the rate of the
period between 1850 and 1800, the sum will be
above 70,000,000,000, or double the preeent com-
puted value of Great Britain and Ireland; and a
debt of 2,000,000,000 would then be lees than 3
per cent upon the principal of the wealth pledged
for its ultimate discbarge, while the burden of its
interest upon the annual income of the ooonti-y
would be lessened in corresponding proportion.
If we take the estimated w^th of Great
Britain to be equally underrated in 1816 and in
1858, we see how the burden of national debt d^
clines relatively to the value of the property
which must pay it. In these forty-two years the
incumbrance fell from 40 to 18 per cent of the
national wealth, while the capital of the debt waa
raduced lees than 3,000,000 on 4,200,000,000, or tho
burden fell fh>m 40 to 18, while the debt fell onlj
as ftx>m 40 to 37. or, in other words, the debt of
1858 would have been a charge of 87i per cent oa
the property of 1816, but was only 18^ per cent
of the property of 1868. The debt of the United
States in 1810 was a charge of 7 per cent on the
property of that day; in 1860 it would have been
no more than nine-tenths of 1 per cent.; and a
debt of 1^222,000,000, which is Ff per cent of tha
computed wealth of the loyal States in IftBS,
would, at a rate of increase in valuation in tha
next twenty years no greater than occurred Ib
the last ton years, sink to I A per cent
Our tabular statement, wiih these hints, is anb-
mitted as a study in financial statistics. Sk-
haustive tabulation is a sort oi crows harrowing
of the subject, which Is its best and most search-
ing exploration, and the best method of geCtteg
at the use and value of the data.

United States in the same period (1850—1860)
was 129.7 per cent— of the pK^erty of the tno
States, 124^52 per cent; of the loyal slave States,
182.04 per cent.; of the rebel slave States, 139.76.
Sie value of the slaves in neither case included.)
0 greater increased per cent, of the wealth of
the slave than of the tne States, in the decade, is
mainly attributable to the quantity of cotton
produced in the period, and the price it com-
manded. From 1840 to 1850, the export-* of cotton
to foreign countries were valued at $533,000,000,
and at an average of 7.7 cents per pound ; in the
period 1850 to 1860, the exports amounted to
$1,23&000,000, at an average of lOi cents per
pound. To this must be added their exports of
iobaooo, rice, and breadstuff and provisions, and
the amount of all these articles sold to the North-
am States. But to understand the value of this
greater increase as expressed In percentaga, tt
most be recollected that the capital wealth of tha
rebel States in 1850 was but $2^000,006, aUraa
included, while that of the loyal Statea «m
$4,846,000,000,— the latter having increased their
capital $6,050,000,000, the former but$2,018.000,oe6;
— the Census valuation of the slaves being eoi-
braced in these aggr^tes. But the character
of this enhanced wealth is also a matter of prima
importance in estimating its worth as a meaaora
and index of prosperity. The real estate of tha
rebel Statee, as reported by the marshals in I860,
was 43 per cent and the poraonal 57 per cent of
their property; while in tne loyal States tiie real
was 66 per cent, and the personal but 34. TIm
average ratio of real to p«nsonal estate in New
York, Massachusetts, and Penneylvania, is 75 f-ar
cent, of the total, or ^ against -f^ the average
of the rebel States. South Carolina, Qeorgia, and
North Carolina have but 30 per cent of their
wealth in real estate, and 70 in personal. The
proportion of fixed to floating capital in a natkm
is the truest measure of its real wealth and of ila
grade of civilization. Among savages land ia
worth little, and its improvMnents nothing; real
property scarcely exists. In the higliest dviUa*.
tion and greatest prosperity, real estate prepoude-
rnteti, and its degree of excess over personal,
measures and expressrt the national welfora.

The Seeretary of War authorised the appoint-

dered it ** to direct its inquiries to the principles
and practices connected with the inspection of re-
cruits and enlisted men; the sanitary condition of
the Tolunteers; to the means of preserving and
restoring the health, and of securing the general
comfort and eflldeney of troops; to the proper

other sul:|)ects of like nature." He orders it also
to communicate to the Department and the Medl-
eal Bureau, ** Arom time to time, such obeerrations
and resnlte as it may deem expedient and import-

The Commission thus created was recognised by
an order (Jnnel6tb, 1861) flrom the then Burgeon-
Qeneral C. A. Finlay, eqjoining upon all medical
officers of the army and Tolunteers to ** render
every fiicility for such ol^ects, and to giro the

Tba eaergise of the Commission were first
Jheeied to a thorough inspection of the Camps
aad Hoepiteli 9t the Army. To this end a corps
9t medieal experts was formed, composed of those
who bad devoted time to hygiene and other sub-
Jeeteheeriaff upon the well-being of troops. Regi-
meate were not only Tisited on their entrance
toto service, but at steted periods afterwards;
amrs of diet, or treatment of the men, were
aejaud one to the oAcer, and assistonoe rendered
W every way to enable the latter to obtain the
neatest po<wible effldeney ftom his command.
Wherever, through ignorance or fhtud, on the
part of Quartermasters and Commissaries, the sol-
dier was deprived of such advantages as were bis
duSk the defoet was examined into, traced to Ite
eansc, and then pursued until redress was ob-
tained l^oii the proper authority.
As the wer advanced. It was found that all the
■oppllee which eould be collected by the Govern-
ment would be inadequate to the wanto of the
iiek and wounded. Tlie people were desirous of
aldiug in the great eontset wt fireedom. each ac-

coatributions* without the help of an organisa-
tloa tborooghlv trained and skilled in militery

and wonM insure detzimeat to diseipUDe. The
Commission then undertook this task of distrlbu*
tion,— becoming the recognised almoners of a
nation's good will to her soldiers^ The distribu-
tion has always been preferably made in accord-
ance with the vrritten stetement of a medical
officer as to the existence of want. In this way it
has acted, even in ite relief work^ as a body sup-
pUmmUny to the rmlar Medical Bureau. Ite
business is not flkolt-nnding, but relief- bringing, —
to prevent suffering wherever po88ible,~nnd,
wherever suffering is found, to aid the regular
medical officers to alleviate it in such ways as they
m^ indicate.
We do not dwell upon certain new features
grafted upon the Medical Bureau, through the In-
fluence of the Commission, in which particular It
has simply given intelligible utterance to the
feelings of the people, whoee representative it is.

contrast with the opposition to reform enooiin^red

of their own authoritiee. Bound down l>y the
technicalities of customs, whose spirit had long
since been evaporatMl, the sborlcoiiiiuKS uf the
Commissariat and other departmeute of the

tbey oftQ be proTeu to b«i elosrf or bindeniDctw,
tbey «r« aboliiibod, or Bubstlluttsd by otbers bet-
ter adapted for the emergeocy. Our war is for
Natioual existence; and while no expeDse i«
ppared in carrying out all its details, that which
i« involved in supplying the wants of the men is
stylrd extravagance by no one.
Thtj Commission has distributed clothing, oon-
ccDtratml food, firesh vegetables, stimulants, read-
ing matUtr, etc, to the value of |7 ,000,000. This
has beeu raised all through the land. It has
come in gold and silver bars from California and
Kevada, in oontribuiions from patriotic Amert-
eaun living abruad, and from the aged <»ires, anx-
ious mothers, and warm-hearted sisters of the
soldiers now toiling in the field. Little sewing
drclee, in villages, have reckoned it a great privP
l^e to conuibute their mite to the soldier, and
have consigned it to the Commission with full
confidence that it would reach some one whose
needs it would supply. The prayers of thousands
bav« been poured Ibrlh in it« behalf.
Our space prevents us giving more than a very
brief outline of the modus operandi of this pecu-
liar auxiliary to the great war. The work of tJie
Commission is carried on under two general
heada— 7nspec/ton and JUliff. For the first, a
oorpv of medical officers, known as Sanitary Jn-
iWcUfrSy has been created, whose members are
distributed through all the gruut Armies of the
United States. Their business is to carry on a
regular series of inspections of the troops and Hos-
pitals, 80 as to keep the Cbii-f of inspection
inform^ of their condition. In makin;< these
inspections, It is expected tbut tbeyconfei >..rectly
with the officers in charge, and aid them, by ad-
vice, or otherwise, in any emergencies that may
require such aid. Wherever defects occur, their
buNinees is especially to solicit remedial means
from the officer directly in charge, and, if this
source of relief fail, then to report the case to
others higher in authority. Tbey nre not sent to
pry uut the wenk points, but to aid in strength-
ening such. These duties, which may te called
advisory and prnventive, do nut cuuslituto the
whole of the Inspector's duty. He bus also scien-
tific duties, comprising the collection of statistical
data, the examination of local causes of disease^
the efiects of certain kinds of clothing, food, of
loni^ marches, etc., eic.,upon the men, and other
subjects calling forth a high order of profehsional
training.
The work of iPe/iV/is divided into two kinds,
that which is rendered in accordance with ihe
order of a mudical offic*fr, and that which is given
directly to the soldier, separate from his command
or liotipitMl, and which is styled Special Meh^.
For the due execution of the first, the Commia-
siou has rugulur i^t»ecial Kelief Agents in every
army, aud others who vihii hospitals likely to be
in « uut of necessary articIeK. The people demand
that no soldier suffer, if help can reach him.
These Relief Agents are their uiiuislers. They do
not only visit comfortable hospital.^ in out-of-the-
way places of »ecurity, but live in the Army, and
are found on the baitli*-field, as at the battle of
Gettysburg, dispensing comforts, while the balls
are whittling around ther hesds. In some
armies, an ngeni Hvuk in eacli otrps, is supplied
wiib a large wugou, ki'pt constantly full of such
supplies MB are needed in the field, aud shares the
hard^hips of tlio soldier's life. This plan is
adopted in the Army of the Potomac, where,
under the direction of Dr. I^wis li. Steiaer, Chief
Inspeetor, and J. Warner Johnson, Field Snper
intendent, it has been quite sucoessfVil. By oon
stant association with the officers of a corps, tb«
agent beoomes f^lly able to detect wants, and la
enaUed to satisfy them with the greatest prompt*
ness and certainty.
The general purpose of the Special Rditf-wcK^
of the Commission is best set forth in the Report
of the Bpedal Relief Agent at Washington, mtOm
At one of the meetings of the Board :
1st " To supply to the sick men of the newly-
arrived regiments such medicines, fix>d, and ear«
as it is impoesible for them to receive in the midst
of the confusion, and with the unavoidable lack
of fadlitlea from their own officers. The men t»
be thus aided are those who are not so sick as to
have a elatan upon a general hospital, and yet
need immediate care to guard them against nri>
01)8 sickness."
2d. *' To famish suitable food, lodging, care and
assistance, to men who are honoratuy discharged
fh>m service, sent fhnn general hospitals, ot from
their regiments, but who are often delaved a day
or more, sometimes many days, before they obtain
their papers and pay."
3d. '*To communicate with distant regiments
in behalf of discharged men whom certificates of
disability, or descriptive lists, on which to draw
their pay, prove to be defective ;— the invalid sol-
diers, meantime, being cared for, and not exposed
to the fifttiguo and risk of going in person to their
regiments to have their papers corrected.**
4th. ** To act as the unpaid agent or attorney
of discharged soldiers who are too foeble, or too
utterly disabled, to present their own claim at
the paymaster's office."
Sth. *^ To look into the oonditlon of dlsdiarged
men who assume to be without means to pay th*
expense of going to their homes, and to furniah
the necessary means whwe we find the man la
true, and the need real."
6th. ''To secure, to disabled soldiers, railroad
tickets at reduced rates, and. through an agent at
the railroad station, see that these men are not
robbed or imposed upon by sharpers."
7th. ''To see that all men who are distdiarftod
and paid off do at onoe leave the city for their
homes; or, in cases where they have been indneed,
by evil companions, to remain behind, to endeavor
to reecue them, and see them started, with through
tickets, to their own towns."
Sth. **1\> make reasonably clean and comfort
aUe, before they leave the city, such discharged
men as are deficient in cleanlinefis and clotbea."
9li>. **To be prepared to meet at onoe, with food
or other akl, such immediate neoesalties as ariso
when sick men arrive In the dty, in large num-
bers, Arom battle-ilelds or distant hospitab*."
lOth. ''To keep a watohful eye upon all sol-
diers who are out of hospitals, yet not in servloti,
and give information to the proper authorities, of
such soldiers as seem endeavoring to avoid duty,
or to desert frY>m the ranks."
In the business of the Special Relief Depiut-
ment, both Kast and Weft, are enlisted many
energetic, whole-souled men and women, who
take great pleasure in thus contributing to tbo
needs of our men. There may be some persona
who will cavil at this work, and who i<neeringi7
ask, where are the officers of the Medical and
other Departments, that such a w6rk aa this of
Special Relief is required?
To mnet such, Mr. Knapp thus speaks In tha
Report already alluded to: *'The foot is sSmptj
■«le a Ut^t and wiser prorfalon for the sick
and wounded tb»n the world erer before saw;
JST* J^^^ •"** caBoot be, a mlnateneM of de-
WI, and a waiting at erwry corner, to giTe to a
Wnthig soldier a cup of water, tuch aa frlenda at
borne, in their aaxious lore, aak for. Yet thia
work needs to be done, and, therefore, we, who
are rim pi J the pmple's heart and bounty, do the
work. But if the Medical Department were to
attempt it, in all its minutis) of detail, their
power for their own hundred-fold greater work
would be weakened in a way that would find no
instifleatlon."
The Sanitary Gommisfdon has alao a Hospital
Ihrectory, in which arrangements are made for
"^PPlying information relative to all patients in
*°* Army Hospitals. This information is fur-
mahed gratnitoxisly.
The autlstical material collected from all parU
of iu work is aubmitted to proper dincuitsloh by
•n acoompliahed Actuary, and the reiulu are
whose use such result* are obtained.
A large number of monographs, on speclsl sub-
jects of interest to medical oAoera, have been
prepared, so as to place, in the hands ot the 8ur>
gcon in the field, compendious epitomes of the
most modem Information, and these are gratul>
tottsly distributed.
The oriidnsl organiaatioa of the Commission
owes much to the first Genersl Seeretsry, F. L.
Olmsted, l£sq., who labored with great seal in Its
serTioe. ^Its officers now are working with a
quiet enthusiasm, which could not be obtained
for money, or any other reward ; and erery em>
ployee will find it a source of incalculable plea-
sure, in the future, that he onoe labored in its
ranks, st the command of a great people, whoee
souls' heartiest wish snd desire wss, that no suf«
fering should exist in the Army of the Union,
that might be prerented by anything procurable
through money or kind words."

THB PUBLIO LIBRABIES OF THE TJVJTED STATES.
UifTiL within A ftw yean, the public libraries
of America were neither ao nomerous nor bo im-
portant aa to render their statieticfl interesting.
A young nation, wfaoee independent existence
dates back lea than a century, and acting as the
pioneer of dvilisatlon in so broad a territory,
could not be expected speedily to rival the great
repositories of learning which adorn so many
of the ci4>itals of Europe. Where Ooremment
patronage is wholly wanting, and not even
the accessions of a copy-tax are ei^oyed by
a single library, whatever has been done to-
ward the foundation or increase of collections is
dne to individual liberality or associated entei^
prise.
When due allowance is made for all the ob-
stacles, the growth and extent of our public
collections wul compare favorably with those of
any country. True, we have no one library which
rivals or approaches that of the British Museum,
with its 600,000 volumes, or even the Bodleian
Library at Oxford, with its 800,000; but neither
have our librariee any of the adventitious ad-
vantages ei^oyod by those institutions, of re-
ceiving copies of every thing published in the
United Kingdom free of cost If our largest
libraries must look with envy upon the 900,000
Tolumos, besides 500,000 pamphlets, of the Impe-
rial Library at Paris (now the largest collection
In the world), that feeling may be tempered by
the reflection that its splondid facilities for amass-
ing books, in the centre of European civilizHtion,
with four centuries of opportunity since the in-
vention of printing, and the uncounted spoils of
monkish and church libraries which it has ab-
sorbed, ftimish abundant reason for its supe-
riority. If we are reminded of the fitct that
twelve librariee in Europe exceed 300,000 volumes
each, while not one In tno United States has yet
reached 150,000, we may be partially consoled by
the reflection that the former are chiefly the
grovrth of Oovemment patronage, built up by
sovereigns fh>m the taxation of the people;
while the latter are the free-will oflTerfngs of
liberal-minded men to the cause of letters.
Neither should it be forgotten that the more
numerical extent of librariee is a most unsafe
criterion of their real value. Some, at least, of
the Continental libraries, which reckon their
stores by the hundred thousand, are chiefly vast
repositories of mediteval rubbish, with little or
«w> attHiHnna fmm th#» RrtiAnce and literature of
Librariet in the United Stain whith cemiain at

In the quarter of a century which has elapsed
since the above table was prepared, the reader
cannot iUl to remark a progress which is com-
mendable in itself, and a prognostic of still hii^ier
results to come. Yet so litUe i^parent advance
had been made in the importance of oollections,
or the public information as to their extent, that
we And an American Secretary of State, as late as
the year 1860, replying to a circular of a com-
mittee of Parliament designod to elidt informa-
tion r«ipecting the statistics of libraries throng
out the world, in the following terms : —
** DBPABTMX2IT OF STATI, WASSDWTOir,
''July 18. 1860.
** I regret to be obliged to ininrm yon that, aoon
after the receipt of Mr. Crampton*s note (aolidt-
ing '* certain authentic information wiUi regard
to public Ubrariea in the United Btatsa"), an
attempt was made to obtain the partioidar In-
formation desired, but without success; and tiutt,
with every disposition to do so, the Dmartmeat
flnds that it has no means of gratifying the wishes
of Her Mi^eety's Government in this respect.
(Signed) ** J. M, CUTTOisr."
Yet the attempt to gather information aa to
certain libraries on British ground appears to
have been equally fruitless ; for we find the com-
missionon statinic. in their voluminous report.

PUBLIC LIBRARIES OF TH£ UNITED STATES.
1S64.].
In 1869 wM i88iiad**A Manual of Public Li-
bvBilM, InaUtotiona. and Societies in the United
Sttitaii. by William J. Blieee,"— a work originally
daaifnted a« a continuation of Profeseor Jewett'f
Bmithaonian Report, but expanded beyond the
oacpected Hmite, and forming a Tolume of 687
pam. The inibnmation it embodies, though reiy
Talaable and fhll as regards many libraries, is
▼«ry incomplete, as may be seen fh)m the feet
that, while it gires the na^nes of 2902 libraries
of ail sizes, it records the number of volumes in
only 1388 of them, leaving the large proportion
of 1M1 unreported. The failure to respond to
dicolan of inquiry was the cause of this de-
ficieiicy. Its statistics of the size of libmries,
dating as tar bacl& as 1857, and in many instances
stUl earlier, are now chiefly valuable for purposes
of omnpsuiBon.
In the table now published, the brevity so
aveotlai in a work of this kind excludes all
mention of libraries numbering less than 10,000
volomea ; while it precludes any attempt to com-
meauMrate the history, merits, or peculiarities of
any of tlie collections. The thousands of school-
Ubnriea, so widely diffused in this country that
in. nuanr States one is placed in every school-dis-
ttiet (uioso of New York alone numbering, in
1802, 1,208,076 volumes), would require a volume

riea— which exist in stfll greater numbers, and
the aggregate contents of which have been esti-

can receive but a passing mention.
The countless private libraries of the country —
■wny of them of great extent and value— must

in Dr. Wynne's volume entitled, ** The Private Li-

of information,— generally the (unpublished) een*
BUS returns of 1800.
An attempt has been made to correct the most
mrevalent source of error in the enumeration of
libraries, bv calling for a statement of pamphlets
as distinguished from bound volumes. It is ob-
viously unfiiir that libraries wliich are largely
composed of tracts and pamphlets should recxon
them against other librarise whoso stores consist
wholly of bound books.
In the column of information respecting cata-
logues, a very commendable efficiency will be
OMerved, in comparison with the great European
libraries, only one of which (the Bodleian) has a
printed catalogue at all approaching comploteness.
The statistics regarding the nimiber of attend*
ants employed in libraries, although collected,
are not here given, as they fell to afford a fair
basis of comparison as to the staff requisite to
administer the affairs of a large library. For
example, the Boston Public Library has a staiT
of eighteen officers, while the Astor Library and
the Library of Congress employ six officers each.
The difference is accounted for in the fact that
the former is a lending librarv, circulating pro-
bably more books than any other public instito-
tion in the world ; while the two latter are llbrsr
ries of reference chieflv. The statistics as to the
time of opening of the different libraries are
omitted, for siindlar. reasons. The collection of
statistics as to the circulation of the lending
libraries, and the average number of readers at
all libraries, was relinquished because of the unl<
versal ill success which has attended attempts to
collect specific information upon points which
are usually murecorded, and therefore 8ub;je<;t to
very wide conjecture.
In stating the size of college or univsrsity libra-
ries, only those actually possessed by the institu-
tions are intended, the society-libraries of the
students being lejft to stand by themselves.
Thus, Harvard University is properly credited
with the libraries of its Law. Medical, and Theo-
logical departments, in addition to its miscel-
laneous library of 104,000 volumes, — swelling its
aggregate to 140,000 ; but no account is taken of
the various society and club libraries at Cam-
bridge, which would cmry it still higher. The
foundation of the same libranr is given as 1704,
instead of 1688, as often stated; because the first
library, dating back to the origin of Uarvard
University, was totally destroyed by fire in 1764,
and the formation of the present collection dates
firom that year. For a similar reason, the Library
of Congress, which was burned by the British army
in 1814, is reckoned as founded in 1815, when
Mr. Jefferson's library was purchased to form
the basis of the present collection. The latter
library, it may be remarked, has been singularly
unfortunate, having again lost 30,000 volumes by
fire in 1851,— which partially accounts for its
numerical disadvantage in the present table.
But the United States will never possess a public
library which can fitiy be called national, until
Congress shall take a more liberal view of the
value and importance of such a collection.
Some of the libraries embraced in the table
are not ** public libraries'* in the strict sense of
the term, being designed for the special use of
members of the institutions whose names they
bear. Yet, 'vrith regard to all of them it may be
said that, for purposes of reference or more ex-
tended study, access to their stores is not difficult
for any one to obtain. ^<^ ^ ^ ^T ^

^^»»y durinLTK'' ^Pef thousand; In the British
Potomac and the various coast expeditions. The
annual mortality from disease alone among those
troops was S3v40 per thousand of mean strength.
The second consists of the troops operating in
the central basin of the continent, between the
Appalachian and the Rocky Mountains, and in-
dndee Western Virginia, the armies under Gena-
rab Buell, Grant, and Pope, the department of
Bfissouri, with the Boattered troops in Kansas, Na-
braska. New Mexico, and the Northwest. The
annual mortality from disease alone in this region
was 82.19 per thousand.
The third division consists of the troops on the
Pacific slope, between the Rocky Mountains and
the sea. It includes those serving in Northern
and Southern California, Oregon, and Washington
Territory. The annual mortality rate was 10.70
per thousand.
It will thus be seen that on the Pacific slope
the mortality rate was three time^ lem than on
the Atlantic coast, while that of the latter region
was twice and a half less than that of the troops
serving in the central region.
The small amount of mortality on the Pacifle
coast is worthy of attention. The rate is hardly
greater than that attributed by British and New
England statisticians to young men of similar ages
in private life. This exemption is in part due,
there can be no doubt, to the fact that on the Pa-
cific coast our troops found themselves under con-
ditions much more closely approximating those of
peace than of war. But the rate is so much less
than has ever been known in the whole United
States Army In time of peace, that an idea of the
superior healthftilnees of the Pacific coast Is at
once suggested. The greater mortality of the cen-
tral reckon, as compared with the Atlantic coast,
would appear to hold a close relationship to the
great prevalence of malarious disease in the- val-
leys of the Blisslssippi and its tributaries which
is Indicated by the Tables HI^ IV., and V., show-
ing the monthly rates of camp fever, of intermit-
tent fever, jmd of diarrhoea.
The three great regions above contrasted differ
not only in their annual mortality rate, but the
relations of mortality to season are also c^uite
different. ^

General Pretalxkcs or Dmeass.
The difference between the three regions aboro
contrasted is not so conHpIcnous in the general
slckncHS rates as in the mortality; yet the whole
number taken sick in tho central region wcs
greater than on the. Atlantic coast, ana in this,
again, greater than on the Pacific. In the first,
the number taken on sick report during tho year
was 3S6S.14 per thousand of mean 8trenp:th, in
the second, irr48.83, and in tho third, 2[:86.e0. It
Mill thus be seen that In each of those regions a
larfte proportion of tho troops must have beeiu.
taken ttick several times during the year.
Table II. exhibits the monthly ratio of " taken
sick" for each of the three regions. It doe« not
indicate the "constant fickncai rate," bnt the
total number taken on sick report onring the
month. Tho monthly fluctuations exhilited by
this table are, of course, much less instmctK*
than those of individual diseases; they rcrrp,
however, to indicate a gradual improvement in
the sanitary condition of the army during the mar.
It would bo exceedingly IntereRting were it
possible to present a table representing the "co»-
Ktant sickness rates** for the same period ; tut tits
imperfect data in the Surgeon-General*B OfBce
for the first year of tho war do not afford the
means for computing such a table in a reliable
manner.

the coaunencemeut of th« war, the vast minority
of the camp feren of the army were of a mixed
character, exhibiting undoobted enteric pheno-
mena, rarioasly oomWned with the periodicity
and other peculiaritlea of malarial disease, and
still farther modified by the tendency to inci-
pient scurvy which is the ordinary concomitmt
of camp diet. To indicate this mixed nature, the
term ** typho^nalarial fevor,*' which I had the honor
to sugsest to the Department in J une, 186^ appears
appropriate, and at the present time is coming
into Tery general use.
A correct nndcrsUnding of the nature of these
ferers is of the utmost importance, as they play
a conqiicuons part in the mortality of our armies.
During the year under consideration, 44.6 per
oent. of all the deaths from disease were ^due te
eamp foTers.
An examination of Table m. shows that the
frequency and mortality of camp fcTer differ
conalderably in the three great regions. On the
Atlantic border the annual ratio of cases was
238.90 per thousand of mean strength, and tho
' ratio or deaths to cases was 71.9 per thoii>Nind, or
one death to erery 184) cases. In the central ro-
TABLB m.
Mimthfy liatet qf au^ Ih>tr in the Armies qf the VniUd Stata during the Yectr ending June Zfy,\fm,
easprtued in ratio per thousand of teean strength.
alon the annual ratio of cases was SIDJM per
thousand, and the ratio of deaths 101.8 per tboo-
sand cases, or one in 9.8. On the Pacific coast the
annnal ratio of cases was only OOJN» per ttraii-
sand, and the ratio of deaths to cases 4&12, or oos
in 22.1. The severity of cantp lievers in these
several regions in thuit shown to dilfer as coosi-
dertibly as their frequency.
An inspection of thu tablu.or of the accompanying
diugrum, at once exhibits the autumnal character
of the disease. On the Atlantic coast the monthly
number of attacks steadily increased until NoveM>
ber, 1861, then as steadily diminished until March,
Ibtti; after which they once more increased in fre-
quency. In the central region the maximum was
attained in September, 1861, followed by a gradaal
diminution till March, and a subsequent Increaas^
as on the Atlantic coasL On the Pacific coast, al-
though there is loss regularity in the fluctoatea, it
willbe observed that October was the maxImuM
month. The most superficial observer cannot frtll
to be struck witn the.simihuity between these three
waves and those of the intermittent fevers, of whose
malarial nature there is.no doubt, and which ars
illustrated in the next Uble and diagram.

Intermittent fever, although a very frequent
affection, has not been the cause of any great
mortality. On the Atlantic border the annual
ratio of cases was 195.94 per thousand of mean
strengtii, the rate of deaths to cas(>« 6.0 per thou*
sand, or one to 165.9. In the central r^on the
annual ratio was 375.M, the deaths 5.9 per t
sand cases, or one to 170.0. On the Paofic <
the annnal ratio was 151.68 per thousand of fl
strength, and no deaths.

Dionrhoea and dysentery caused about one-
fourth of all the sickness reported. On the At-
lantic border more than hali the army suffered,
and In the central region the number of cases
almost equalled the mean strength. Although
not near^ so fatal as camp fever, aflections uf
this class were an important cause of thu niortul-
ity of our army. In the chronic cases, though
most generally called diarrhoea, and not dysentery,
the colon was the seat of the chief lesion. The
most characteristic pott^mortem appearance was
a tliickened, softened condition of the mucous
membrane, with pigment deposit and enlargement

CSatarrfaal alTections of every class were exceed-
ingly common, attacking nearly one-half the
forces in the field. The relative frequency in
the three regions of the country appears to have
been about the same:— on the Atlantic border
456.47 per thousand of mean strength. In the
central region 427.20 per diousand, and on the
Pacific slope 407 .61. In all, the frequency of these
affections increased greatly during the winter
and diminished during the warmer months, the
maximum month being January for the Atlantic
and central, and February for the Pacific region.
A large proportion of the severer catarrhal cases
occurred as sequelsa to camp measles. The vast
minority of the simple catarrhal cases terminated
In recovery, the deadis being one to every 1127.8
case* on the Atlantic coast, one to every £604)
cases in the central region, and no deaths occur-
ring ftom this cause in the Pacific reaion. A
certain number of these catarrhal cases, no we ver,
terminated in pneumonia, and thus a part, at
least, of the mortulity of catarrhal afifrctions is
reported under that head. The annual rates of
t-neumonia for the three re^ons were as lollowt:
—On the Atlantic const, 26^ cases per thousand
of mean strength, the deaths b<>ing Vil,l per
thousand cases, or one death to everv 't .6 casea; in
the central region the cases were 64J2 per tho«-
^nnd of mean strength, the deaths *IS9^ per
thousand, or one to every 4.1; on the Padfie
f lope the cases were £0.9 per thousand of mean
ttrength, the deaths 18.1 per thousand cases, or

THE NATIONAL ALMANAC.
RnUBILITT 07 THB rOKMOIirO RATIOS.
In conclusion, a fow remarks may be made upon
the reliability of tlie BtntlHticji ft-om which tiie fore-
going ratios are deduced. It id fraiilily admitted
that the data in the Surgeun-Generars Office,
from wliich the statintlcs of the first year of the
war were compiled, are exceedingly incomplete.
Mo systematic effort appears to have been made
to secure reports of siclc and wounded prior to
June, 1862, when already fourteen mouths of the
war had elapsed. The existing reports, referring to
the three-montlis men, are too few to enable the
statistician to deduce any reliable r.ttio of sick-
liets and mortality for that force ; and for a lon^
time after the three-years vuluittoers were mus-
tered into the service, many of their surgeons
persistently neglected to furnish the reports
required by regulations. In fact, up to tli »
cloie of the first year of the war tlie sick reports
received at the Surgcon-Qenemrs Office never
represented, for any one month, more than two-
thinls of tlie army actually in the field. In
careAilly attempting to compile the statistics of
the several armies for the first year of the war.
It has not been possible, therefore, to 8i*cnre a per-
fect record for any one of them; the figures never
represent the whole force, but always merely a
certain number of the component regiments:
neTertheless, so far as they go, it is believed tliat
Tabular SnxriMEXt of D£ath8, btDubasi aics in Battlb, or Ceataix MioaxoAN ReoDiE^rTS » 1861-41.
[1864.
these statistlct are m aocorato and roliaUe m
any medical statUitios heretofore published; and,
althougli it has not been possible to represent
the whole anuy by tluMu, they correspond to so
viist a host that they possess high value in them-
selves, and may fai ly be assumed to aptiroximat*
in the closest manner the results which would
have been attained had the repents been ooni-
plete.
In fact, the number of regiments reporting is
so great that the statistics IVom wlilch these ratios
have been prepared may safely be said to be the
largest medico-military statistics yet ever com-
piled.
Great efforts have been made dnring the fiscal
yenr ending June £0, 1863, to secnre con^leto-
nees in tlie medical statistics; and these efforts,
although not crowned with perfect success, liave
had the effect of rendering the reports for that
year companitlvely complete; and the work of
compiling them is progressing as rapidly as is
possible with the clerical force employed.
It is believed that, ai tlie attention of the
medical officers In service is now fully directed to
the effort being made to cohipile these stHtistics.
their hearty co-operation may be relied upon, ana
that the figures for the present year may be
hoped to be as nearly complete as can be ex-
pected fh>m any groat amly in time of war.

Holiday in December, unle^ they by Uw appoint
atfftrentday.
Yhe Senate of the United State* ia composed of
tv»8aMtora from each State, cho«en by tlie liOgis-
Utare thereof for elx yoara. At their amt meet-
ins «Q<i^ the Cou«titatlon, the Seuatura were
mteii into three cl^ajca, to that the terms of
ooMUrd of the Senators might expire every
tecowl year. By thid means one-third of the Se-
nrte U renewed biennially. No person can be a
Seastor who is nnder thirty yean of age, nor
onksi he has been nine years a citixeu of the
Uiitcd aiatca, and when elected an inhabitant
of the State for which he is chown. When
TSGiiideihi4>pei] |n any State, temporary appoint-

pfwideot proteaupon, who presides in the absence
of tliP Vice-Prcrident or when the hitter shall
eisrciw the office of Preeident.
«• Uonse uf Representatives is composed of
■«nl*ri cbuaen every siieond year by the people
01 the levenU States. No person can be a Kepre-
wrtstive ^iho is under twenty-ftve years of age,

Ww« sctording to their respective numbers,
™h namliers are ascertained by an actnal enu-
JJWion, or census, of all Ui© inhabitants, made
JJJWtt every term of ten years. When by this
■"■n* the whole nnmber of ft*oc persons is ascei^
uiow^excluding Indians not t»x«-d, there is added
]*|*»eh nnmber three-flftbs of all other persons,
fr *•»« •Wregate thus found is the represent-
3» population. By the law of 23d of May, 1F50,
!y I'P.feh the exIsHnsr apportionment of Re-
g2«»arfli wss orhdnally made, it was enacted
S-utJISI?^ of RepreseutMtivea in Congress
T?"f^ «3. that the rcpreeontatlve popuhition
!jjTOj by the eonsos of that year and there-
"WttottUbodiTided by Bald number 233, and
that the quotient so found should be the ratio of
representation for the several States. The ratio
tlius ascertained under the census of 1860 was
I'i4,l83; and upon this basis the 233 Ropi
ativeit were apportioned aqnong the several States,
one Repreeeiitative for every district containing
that number of persons; giving to each State at
least one Representative. Subsequently, by the act
of March 4, 1802, the number of Representatlvei
Irom and after March 3,1863, was increased fh)m
233 to 241 by allowing oner additional Represent-
ative to each of the foTlo«-ing States, viz. : Illinois, .
Iowa, Kentucky, Biiunesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, and Vermont.
Besides Senators and Representatives, there is
a class of members of Congress, called Delegates,
who sit in the House and represent the organized
Territories of the United States. These iMeraites
may present subjects for legislation and address
the IlouBo, but, not representing States, they have
no votes. In the present Congress there are nine,
—one each fh>m the Territories of Washington,
New Mexico, Utah, Nebraska, Colorado, Nevada,
Dakota, Arixona, and Idaho.
Under the law of August 16, 18(6, the oompeI^
satlon of a Senator, Representative, or Delegate
in Congress is 16000 for each Congress, at the rate
of $3000 per annum, and mileage at the rate of
$8 for evur>' twenty miles of estimated distance
by the most usual road (h)m his place of residence
to the sent of Congress, at the commencement and
at the end of every session; but this mileage is
allowed for two searions only in each Con^tm.
Tlie compensation of the Speaker of the House la
double that of a Representative, and the President
pro tenport of the Senate, when there is no vlc^
President, is entitled to the compensation allowed
by law to the Vice-President, $8000 per annum.

Political GLASSinoATioN or thb Hoon or lUPBKKirTATim.
Parties nro now bo intermingled that a political
classiiicatiou of the meml.H.'rs uf Congreu id a diffi-
cult and delicate worlc. In the diitinction here
nttempted, the vote for Speaker on the 7 th of De-
cember, lb63, 18 taken as the basis. It is assnmed
that the members who voted for Mr. Colfax are
cordial and uniform supporters of Mr. Lincoln's
administration. lience they are classed as Ad-
ministration members; their names, including
that of Mr. Colfax, who did not rote, are printed
in Iloman letters. Those who voted for other per-
sons tlian Mr. Colfax, it is assumed, are opposed to
Mr. Lincoln*s administration. Hence they are
Partt Classitication or Tm
classed as Anti-Administration ; their names are
printed in italic characters. The names of tbuos
who did not vote are printed in hUAU. capitau
(excepting those of Mr. Colfax and Mr. 8telUhM);
while it may be an error to clsss them with lb*
opponents of the administration, they are MfU
placed in that column as being perhaps leM
thorough and uniform supporters than thoaa in
the Administration column. With these explaa*-
tions, the classification is sulmitted as beingdrawB

THE NATIONAL ALHAHAO.
PMl
HTBBIAL BEYEVHB OB EXOIBBi AID DIBEOT TAX LAW&
Pkiok to the year 1861, the present generation
of Americana were unaccustomed to any other
modes of raising moneys ibr the support of tho
Ooremment of we United StatoSf than by duties
on foreign goods imported, and by the sale of the
public lands. Other means, howerer, had been
wed during the earlier periods of our national
career. Under the power granted in aection 8 of
Article L of the Oonstitution, Compieas had many
times exercised the power **to lay and collect
taxes, duties, imposts, and extises, to pay the
debts and/oroTlde for the common defence and
Eineral welfare of the United States," by impoe-
g direct taxes and internal or excise duties
■imilar to those in operation at this time. On
these 8nlQ()ect8 no less than s^enty-flre acts were
paased, extending fhmi 8d of March, 1791, to 23d
of December, 1817, when exdse or internal dntiee
were abolished. The whole amount realised to
ttM Treasury by the operation of thoae laws waa
184,996,340. The highest amount collected in any
one year was in 1810, when it reached 19,378,844.
Great difficulty attended the collections, and some
ot the taxes and duties did not reach the Treasury
until 1880. The people of the United States were
eomparatiTdy poor in those da^ra. It may aerre
to indicate our advance in wealui and in tax-pay-
lag power to state in this place that there waa
ooUected during about tiz numtht of active opera-
tions of the present laws, an amount exceeding
by flfty per cent, the agp*M^ate ooUectionB fVom
Mmilar sources during our whole previous history.
The receipts Arom internal revenue in the year
1808, to September 30, were $53,025,678 40.
The following will serve to show the relative
productiveness of the several sources of revenue
prior to the passage of the laws of 1801-2-8.

THE NATIONAL ALMANAC.
[1884.
THE UNITED STATES.
Thb azistence of the Unite<] StatM of America
as a separate and independent nation usually
dates from July 4, 1776, wheu the itocond Conti-
nental Congress passed the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, dissolving all connection with Great
Britain. The coUmies, however, were virtually
under their omti government from the time of the
meeting of the second Continental Congress, May
10, 1775, which body continued ito sittings during
the greater part of the Revolutionary War, and
had the general direction of aflairs. The powers
<^ this Congress were not defluod,— there was no
•ettled form of government ; but, their authority
being of a revolutionary or provisional character,
they exercised such as the necessities of the times
required. The Rbtolutionakt Ootsbkhsitt con-
tinned until the Confederation was organised, the
articles for which were adopted by the Congress
as early as November 15, 1777, but were not Anally
ratifled by aU the Colonies until March 1, 1781.
On the following day (March 2, 1781) Congress
assembled under the Confederation. The Con-
PiDnun GovKRNHBiTT was intended to be per-
petual; but it was soon found to be so defective,
Inefllcient, and even powerless, that a oooTentioa
of delegates was called to meet at Philaddphia od
the Uth of May, 1787, ^for the sole and express
purpose of revising the Articles of Ooofederatiuo,
and reporting such alterations and proTWons
tboreln as shall render the Federal ConatitntioD
adequate to the exigencies of the Qovemment
and the preservation of the Union." The Coo-
sTiTunoRAL Uov£a:fXE:«T was the result of tha
deliberations of this convention ; for tboy adopted,
on tlie 17th ot September, 1787, that great and
wise charter known. as the Constitution of tb«
United States. Eleven of the States having rati-
fied this Constitution, Congress, on the 17 th of
September, 1788, reaulved that it should go Into
operation on Wednesday, the 4th day of Mardi,
1789.
The powers granted by this Constitution are
distributed among three separate ami distinct
bodies,— the legislative powers being vested in a
Congress ; the executive power, iu the Preslclent I
nud the Judicial power, in one Supreme Court,
and such inferior courts as Congress may from
time to time ordain and establish.
BXBCTJTIVS OOVEBmCENT.
The nineteenth Presidential term of four years since the establishment of the Ooremment of tka
United States, under the ConsUtution, began on the 4th day of March, 1861, and it will expire on the
dd of March, 1805.

NOTB.— The account for the flica] year 1860-61 it corrected by taking the actoal exports and 1b-
ports of like qoarters of the previous fiscal year as a minimum estimate for the last two qtutien
of the fiscal year 1860-61, of transactious which continued under the Am(»1can flag, hut which' vers
not reported to the Treasury Department in regular quivterly returns. The quantities thus added
are $161,611,905 of domestic exports, $500,000 of foreign exports, and $16,425,382 of imports.
Prior to 1821 the Treasury reports did not give a complete return of imports. To that period their
Talue, and also the proportion of exports designated respectively as domestic and foreiipi, has bstB
estimated flrom sources believed to bo authentic. The total of exports is official fh>m the first. Fran
1821 to 1863, inclusive, all values have been taken fix)m official returns, with the exception abors
noted for omitted quarters of 1861 at certain Southern ports. L. £. CHITTENDEN, ''—'-^—

Bmif Historical Skktch or thb Dspastment.
What is now called the Post-Offlce Dopartment
was established in 1780 as the " Post-Offlce," and
subsequently as the ** Oeneral Post-Offlce," under
the power given to Congress by the Constitution
**to establish post-offices and post-roadB." The
first act of Congress briefly declares that ** there
shall be ^pointed a Postmaster-General," and
that his powers and salacy and the compensation
to the assistant or clerk and deputies, and the
regulations of the office, shall be the same as thoy
were under the Congress of the Confederation.
This refers the origin of our Post-office system
to the old Confederation and beyond. There Is,
however, but little publtcly known of its early
history, although the Gouertu Office is In possession
of some very interesting aud valuable materials on
the subject. The flrst recorded notice of any
attempt in the colonies to convey letters by post,
relates to the petition of certain Boston merchants
to Uie Court, and the subsequent appointment of
John Hay ward, in 1077, " to take in aud convey
letters according to their direction." This ap-
pears to have been the first postal arrangement in
America. By gradual but untraceable growth, local
arrangements like the above became general ; but
tliere was nothing like system until 1710, when the
British Parliament authorized the Postmastcr-
Qenoral " to keep one chief letter office in New
York, and other chief letter offices in each of
Her Majesty's provinces or colonies in America."
Deputy Postmasters-General for North America
were subsequently from time to tioic appointed
by .the British Postmaster-General. Colonel Spotts-
wood was one of those in 1737, as in that year
he appointed Boqjamin Franklin Postmaster of
Philadelphia.
Franklin was subsequently employed as comp-
troller of several post-oflfces, and, in 1753, was
made Postmaster-General Jointly with William
Hunter. Down to that time the American office
had never paid ai«y thing to that of England.
Franklin and Hunter were promised £600 a year
between them if they could make that amount out
of thd profits of the office; and this Franklin's
fertility of resources and inltiatiTe mind enabled
them, after some time, to do. The improTcments
in the malls which he introduced were at fint ao
expensive that the office sunk £000 in fonr yean.
But after that it began to pay both him and the
Crown a handsome revenue. In 1774, when ha
was dismissed, it was yielding a clear rerenue to
the British Troasurv of £30W) per annum, Jnst
three times as much as the yield ftt>m the Post-
Office of Ireland at the same time. Speaking of
tlds progress of the office under his management
and of his dismissal, Franklin quaintly observe,
"Since that imprudent transaction they [the
British Ministi^J have received (hom it— not ooa
fiu-thing."
On the 26th of July, 1775, the Continental Con-
gress ordained that a PostmasterOeneral be ap-
pointed for the United Colonics. Under this ordi-
nance,Beiviamin Franklin was unanimonsiT chosen
PoHtniaster-Oencral. He was allowed $1000 per
annum for himself, and $340 for a secretary and
comptroller. The Articles of Confederation of 1788
gave to Congress *' the sole and exclusive right
and power of establishing and regulating post-
offices from one State to anofli^r, throughoot all
the United States, and oxncting such postage on
the papers passing tlirough the same as may bo
requisite to defray the expenses of an offloe."
Very little progress was made under the Con-
federation. It was the " Post-Office" system thus
imperfectly traced from Its first perceptible be-
ginnings that was continued by tno act of Sep-
tember 22, 1780, above noted. Under that act wa
have the earliest reliable statistics of its opera-
tions, commencing in 1790. Its subsequent pro-
gross and present condition are exhibited in the
statistical tablM hereto appended.

iMTXaif ATIOKAL POOTAL COSFBaiMGS.— In Jolj.
1868, at the invitation of the PoatOffico D^vi*
ment of the United States, a postal ooBCnsBOS
was held at Puis to consider the subject of gwtar
uniibrmity of administration in international pos-
tal ailairs. The conference was attended by deto-
gates representing the Post-OflAce DeparCmcBt*
of ftanoe, Great Britain, Austria, Belgfaun, Ooata
Rica, Denmark, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands
Portugal, Prussia, Switzerhuid, the Sandwich
IshindB, the Hanseatic League, and the United
States; the last named being represented by tbs
Hon. John A Kasson, who fist made the 8ugga»>
tion or such an interchange of views. The result
of their ddiberations was tho adoption of a coda
of thirty-one rules, to be recommended to ^tlMir
several governments as the bases of action in
making postal treaties or conventions. The sgra>
tern suggested in these thirty-one rules has al-
ready been adopted by the governments of Bel-
gium, Italy, and the United States. About one*
half of the rules affect matters of administration
exclusively; those which have a popular Interest
are noticed in the subjoined summary, and, tf
generally adopted, they will greatly Ikcilitata in-
ternational postal intercourse, by reducing the
present cumbrous syst^ of complex rates and
weights, and conflicting rules and regulations, to
something like simplicity and uniformity. &«>
tion 1 divides all matter, to be carried by inter-
national mails, into six classes,— ordinary lettcn^
registered letters (two classes! corrected procrf*
sheets, Ac, samples of merchandise, Jbc, and
printed matter. Section 2 recommendls thsct pre-
payment should be optional, but that unpaid
letters should pay additional postage. Secooag
4, 5, and 6 recommend the prepayment of rsgia-
tered letters and nrinted matter, and tiaat matter
fhlly prepaid shall be ddittrtd wUhaut an^ ad-
ditional charge tohatevtr. Sections 7, 8, 9, 10, U
recommend the adoption of the French nutrical
decimal svstem of weights in all international
postal afTairs, and that the standard weight for a
single-rate letter shall be 15 grammes (about |
ox.*X And for a single rate for the other classes
(except printed matter) 40 grammes (a litUe lees
than li oz.); leaving the standard fbr inlnted
matter for fhtnre adjustment. Sections 13, 14, 1ft
recommend an additional charge upon reglatered
letters, and tho payment of indemnity in case of
the loss or abstraction of such letters or of tfaelr
contents. Sections 27 and 80 suggest the adoption
of international money-order arrangemeats, and
that provision be made for a class of letters, de-
nominated "urgent," to be delivered byexiness
messengers. The other sections refer oxcluivdy
to details of administration. If the code of rules
thus described shall be adopted, it will not only
mails to the transmission of printed and other
matter in many cases where such matter Is now
excluded.

Depvlment with the care and distributioii of
CoNumosAi. BooKA and Dooumkhtd.
Td QufXRAL LAsro Ornoi.— This bureau wys
«rtri>Ushed 25th of April, 1812, as one of the
flOess of the Treasury Department, but was
tniuferred (as already noticed) to the Depart-
■eot of the Interior in 1859. Tlie head of the
toreaa is styled by law the Commissioner of
the eeneral Land Office; and it is his duty to
nperintend, execute, and perform all acts and
thiaga respecting the public lands of the United
8ms, subject to the revision of the Secretary of
the Interior. The duties embraced in that brief
daAnition extend to every matter relating to the
Ittie, care^ rarvey, management, sale, and con-
vtianee of the public lands. The working staff
of the Bureau, including those employed in the
■mat land districts, is very larse. Besides the
Cwnmisrioner, Chief Clerk, and Recorder, named
la the table of executive officers of the Interior
Dspartment, the IbUowing additional officers,
dsrks, Ae. are employed. In the Office at
Wsshington, a principal clerk of public lands, a
principal clerk of private land claims, a principal

J^orgeneraL at a salary of $2000 to $3000, and
■■▼ing a stair of from one to nine draughtsmen
■ad clerks. At the same time there were 47 land

of which there were a Register and Receiver, at
Mlarfcs not exceeding ISSOO pear aj^jpuD. Follow-
ing this notice is a list of the districts, land
offices, surveyor-generals, registers, and receiver*.
The National Almanac fbr 1863 (page 215) con-
tained a sketch of the origin and growth of the
public land system of the United Stotes, so full
that we shall only refer in this place to the open-
tions of the vear Just closed, and such other fluiti
as may be of service by way of illustration. Ao-
cording to the surveys and estimates made prior
to 1858, the public lands covered an areaof 1^265^
G25 square mUes, or 1/450,000,000 'acres, embracea
within the limits of tho States' and Territories

working ftNnoe of tiM olllce it now engaged upon
the TolnmiiioDa retome of the Geneui of 1860, for

flfee a6th of June in that year. It ia under the

The taking of the cenaua in the United States
le a Batter of more consequence than in most
other countries; for here it is of high political
as well aa economical importance. Bepresenta-
tion and taction in this country are apportioned
according to numbers. The Constitution provides,
in Seetion 2 of Article L, that *• Representatives
and direct taxes shall be apportioned among the
several States which may be included in this
Union according to their respeotive numbers;"
and the same section direcUthat "the actual
enumeration shall be made within three years
after the lint meeting of the Congress of the
United States, and within every subsequent term
of ten years.** Under these povisionB, and the
laws passed in pursuance of them, the Census of
the United States has been taken eight times
from 1700 to 1860. As years rolled on, and our
nopnlatioD and populated territory expanded
by rapid growth, the work of enumeration in-
creased in magnitode and importance, and the
rssnlto have been of greater value, aside ftook
thsir poUtieal nstowltj^ Perhaps no better idea
of the augmented labor necessarily bestowed
upon the work, and of the increased value of the
retams, can be given than by presenting a sum-
■Mry of the cost of the census for each of the
Navy Invalids, $34,840; Navy Pension Fund,
$180; widows, mothers, children, and sisters,
$107,886;ptivateer pensioners, $fl22;total, $148,528.

several decennial periods. The Census of 1790
cost $44,877.28: that of MOO. $66^09.04; that of
1810, $178,144i7; that of 1820, ^^525.09; that
of 1830, $878,545^8 ; that of 1840, $^^70.95 ; that
of 1850, $1,818,027^ exclusive of the expense of
IMrinting and bindinf , and scnne other expenses
subeeouent to the 80th of September, 1863. For
the Hghth Census (1860) an i^j^propriation of
$1,000,000 haa been made, as already mentioned.
Bach of the earlier censuses was provided for by
a special act, aa the neoessitv aroae; but in 1850
Congress passed a general law on the sulilect,
maldng provision for the Seventh, or any subse-
quent, Census, if no other law should be passed
by the 1st dav of January of the year when, by
the Constitution, an enumeration is to be made.
This law is specific and comprehensive in ita
directions, f^inUsliing a complete chart to the
marshals, to the Secretary of the Interior, to
whom the returns are required to be made, and
to the Superintendent, who is authorised by the
same law to be appointed for the immediate
Buperviaion of the work. It also directa how the
ratio of representation shall be ascertained, and
the forms to be pursued in apportionimr the Con*
gresslonal Representatives among the States.
Since the issue of the National Almanac for
1863, no farther publication of the statistics of
1860 has been made, and the only matter we can
now add to the copious tables republished in that
volume is contained in the following interesting
statementa of the nativities of the population of
the United States, for which we are indebted to
the courtesy of the Superintondeat, who ftimi«hed
them in advance of his report

AnJUTAS^GKriRAL'S Repobt foe 1862.— The re-
port of General John L. Hodsdon, A^j iitiint-aencral
of this State, is a large octavo volume of 1300

prove to be hereafter a priceless record of the
military and militia affiUrs of the State during the
second year of the rebellion.

— Bv an act of the LM:fslatnre approved March 19,
1862, the State provided for an original constitu-
tional enrolment of the nnnuiformed militia from
list44 made by muuicipal authorities, as well as by
other means. The mode of proceeding required
by this act is. that aldermen of cities, s^ectnea
of towns, and assessors of plantations shall an-
imidl}-, in April, make lists of all peisona within
between the ages of 18 and 46 yeark
liable to enrolment. These lists must be filed
M'ith the mtmicipal clerks, and copies sent to the
A(\)utant-aeucral of the State, and to the Ma^r-
General of thu division. Belore the Ist of Jane in
each yeiu:, the nu^jor-general of each dtvteioa Is
required to appoint a suitable person, withia ihe
limits of every company, as orderly-eergeant, who
acts ex qfficio as clerk of his company, and com-
mands it until commissioned officers are elected.
This officer must take the municipal lists ttiade
OS above, and enter on company blanks all persons
within his limits on said listo, and all others known
to him as liable to enrolment, and, before the lOth
of June, must certify his list to tlie AtJUutant-GeBO*
ral. Under this act an onrolmeut waa made la

pwatlTe 81IOC888, as the Cenaiu retnrns of the State
for 18O0, and the report of the A4]atantrGeneraI in
180L, allowed that there were at that time in the
8t&te cnrer 112,000 males between the ages of 17
%ik1 ^ years. In the following October a second
•nrolmont was made under General Order No. 48
of Af^Qtant-Qeneral Hodsdon, and under this the
iMOttOB of 04,089 men were returned as liable to
enrolment. At the same time returns were made
of 38,514 names of persons who had entered tiie
service of the United States during the war. The
excess of this number over the number (33,105)
returned in the table of Tolunteers, is accounted
for by the return under the last enrolment of all
persons enlisted in the organizations of other
States and lu the Regular Army and Hacry.

Inquiries oonoeming the proper place of **80tt)e-
mont** of paupers, or whether they have relatives
who should be charged with their support. Com-
mencing in 1859, they had examined 14,487 cases
to the close of 1802, and they found settlements
out of the State, or the means of support, for
1979 cases. So many of these wore li/k cases of
pauperism that they would have made a perma-
nent addition of at least 1000 to the pauper pop»>
lation to be supported by the State, at a ooet of
$40,000 per annum. The ordinary system of snp

from one of the statutes of the State.
'♦ When any boy under the age of sixteen years
shall be convicted of any offence known to the
laws of this State, and punishable by imprison-
ment, other than such as may be punishable by
imprisonment for life, the court of justice, as the
case may be, before whom such conviction shall
be heard, may, at their discretion, sentence such
boy to the State Reform School, or to such punish-
ment as is now provided by law for the same
offence.
"And if the sentence shall be to the Reform
School, then it shall bo in the altomatiTe to the
State Reform School, or to such pnnishment as
would have been awarded if this act had not been
passed."
A sentence mnst be for at least nine months;
but no boy under the age of ten can be sent there.
Any parent or g\iardlan may indenture his or her
boy to the school. The Eleventh Annual Rep<Nrt
contains the following statistlos, which are com-
pared with those of the previous year.

The Superior Court was created In the year 1828,
with a Cbief-Jnstice and two associate Justices.
In 1848 three additional Assistant Justices were
created. This court has concurrent Jurisdiction
with the Supreme Court of all causes of action
when any one of the parties to the same resides in
New York City. It has no Jurisdiction of mort-
gage-foreclosures, will-cases, appointments of com-
mittees to manage estates, or of matters relating
to the care and custody of minor children, or
guardians or wards : in other words, the Supreme
Court has in such equity cases excluslTe Jurisdic-
tion. Its practice and rules, terms and modes of
wpeal, are the same as in the Supreme Court.
^e Justices are chosen for six years, and are
dlrided into classes of three,— the term of office
expiring regularly eve^ two years. They are
elected by the people. Ther appoint tiieir clerk,
who holds office during good behavior.

as old as the charter of the city. It has all the
Jurisdiction of a county court, added to that of the
Supreme Court, in all cases other than those of a

of appeal, and terms ore substantially those of the
Supreme Court. The Justices are chosen for six

and the two Justices of the peace chosen members
of the Court of Sessions. The presiding Justice and
any two of the others fonn a quorum. Inthedty
years, and are elected bytho people. They ap-
point their own clerk. The Justices are ihiuiw
every two years.
The Marine Court was originally a court pv<4j
for the hearing of cases of a marine nature, bn
by changes has come to be rather a court for the
trial of all cases not involving a question of title
to real estate in which the damages or claims ore
five hundred dollars and under. It Is now a court
of record, and has a seal and a clerk. It has three
Justices, one of whom is elected ererr two yean.
The Court of General Sessions of the Peace is a
court of criminal Jurtodiction, coeval with the exls^
ence of the dty. It has Jurisdiction, coexteulve
with the Court of Oyer and Terminer, of all offsBcet
whatever. The Judges are the Recorder aad CKf
Judge, who alternately hold trial terms. It Imb ft
clerk appointed by the two Judges. Its proseosr
tions are conducted by the District Attorn^.
The Surrogate's Court is held by a Snrro^^
elected every three years for the county. TUf

Of those pTMent In 1882, 150 were fttmi Peim-
•yhrania, 16 from New Jenej, and 10 from all
other States. The rovenae of the institutioD for
1862 wae $61,427 Jnclading $2i,760 appropriated
by the State, and |ll,184 from sales of merchandise
manufactured by the blind inmates. The expen-
ditnrea were $47447.
The report of the Board of Managers contains
the following ohserrations of general interest :—
The literary studies m^ be sommarily stated
m ipllow»>~ortbography, reading, writing, pin-
naoToi —
tirpe, printing, dictionanr, etymology,
rhetoric, geography, with the globe and maps,
physical geography, arithmetic, algebra, geo-
metry, physiology, history, natural phUoeophy,
natural history, astronomy, biblical and general
literature, and physical training.
The great cost of printing for the blind, owing
to the small editions required, the bulk of the
volumes, and expense of paper and binding, render
K beyond the power of a single institution to
fkiraish the books required, or at a price within
the reach of the blind. The States themselTea
might posribly be disposed to aid, by special ap-
pvopriations, any well-devised plan for printing a
Mries of text and reading books in a uniform
letter.
No effort of the kind has ever been made. The
iaetitutionsmust first agree among themselves in
Ihvor of some common system. How long onr
lastitntions are to eufler under a privation so vital
to their real efficiency, can only be solved by
themselves. Non^ outside can be expected to
move la such a work.
"The Home" contains, at present, seventeen
members, graduates of our own institution. It
it a defMrtment of industry in which the inmates
eontribnte largely to their own support It can-
not, however, be greatly extended without the
•id of liberal gifU or lepuAtB.
The number of blind persons In all the Institu-
tions for the blind in the United States, in 1861,
including 82 in the workshops only, was 1,164.

OmARD College roa Orphans, Philadelphia,—
Richard Soniers Smith, PregidenL—Tliia college
is endowed by the whole residuary income of the
estate of Stephen Qlrard, left by his will in trast
to Uie city of Philadelphia. The ot^ect of the
college, OS expressed in the will, is to provide to
the wliite male orphans of Philadelphia, in the
first place, and then to other places mentioned, a
more comfortable maintenance and a better edU'
cation than the public funds ftimish. The col-
lege-buildings were completed on the 13th of No*
vember, 1847, at a cost of $1,933,821.78, and the
establishment was formally dedicated to the pur-
poses of the trust on the 1st of January, 1848.
Since the opening to the Slst of December, 1862,

State of
est Tir^nia has but a brief and very
leral financial history. The report of the Au-
HaTlng been organised but a few months, the
ofW< ' " ^ . . .
Smer
tor of Public Accounta of Virginia for the year
ending September 30, 1860, shows that the forty-
eight counties composing the new Stute paid into
the treasury for that year over $600,000. As the
revenoe of the entire State of Virginia in 1850 was
but ^32,601, the new State takes very respectaMo
rank, at once, in the matter of resources. At the
last session of the General Assembly of Virginia
(loyal) prior to the organisation of west Vir^nia,
all property owned by, and all moneys dae, that
State, within the iMundariea of the new State,
including the taxes of 1863, wore transferred to
tiie latter; and the specific stmi of $1&0,000, and
all DMneys In the treasury not otherwise *Ppro-
prfaftod, were set apart for the benefit of \vost
Virginia on her admission to the Union. Thuf
the new State commences her career with $150,000
in the treasury, and with assets embracing a large
amount of uncollected taxes, including the taxes
of 1863. The Constitution provides that the new
State shall oasumo an equitable proportion of the
debt of Virginia as it stood prior to January 1.
1861 ; but no other debt can bo contracted except
to meet deflcits in the revenue, to redeem a pre-
vlons liability of the State, or for State defence.

Son., HnTBRAL, Ouxin, Ac^— On these subjects
Governor Borenum, in his inaugural adcb^ss.
touched, briefly, in these words:— •• Here are all
the elements necessary to mAke a great and pros-
perous State. The salubriu of the climate is un-
surpassed; the fertility of the soil is equal to that
of almost any State in the Union. Iron, coal, salt,
petroleum, and other minerals, are found in abun-
dance; the unimproved portions abound in timber
of tiie finest quality; and there is water-power
soAdMit to torn niAohliiMy to nafkuAMton fcr
the nation.'*
EnucATioir.— No recent reports have boen i
showing the condition of the educational institu-
tions embraced in the counties which form the
new State. Virginia had no system of publlo
schools such as prevails In the n'ee Btatea. She
provided means ior the tuition of the children of
the indiaetU only; and many of thase, rather
than undergo the humiliation which attaches to
such an invidious distinction, stayed away, and
received no school-education at alL A remedy
for so great an evil is provided in theOoDvtitutkMi
of the new State. Hie Legislatara is required to
establish a thorough and efficient tjtteaa of fk«a
schools; a eonsiderable portion cf the ineooie at
the State is set apart for a school f^ind; general
taxation for their support on persons and pro>
perty is authorized ; township taxation la required ;
and a general superintendent, with coun^ amsr*
Intendents, are to be elected by the people. Tbe
Legislature Is also commanded to foster and •»>
courage moral, intellectual, sdentiflc, and agri-
cultural improvement; to make suitable provisioa
for the bUnd, mute, and insane, and for the crgma^
zation of such institutions of learning as the beet
interests of general education in the State vaj
denumd.

a pen of iron in the rock forever." On the right
of the rock, a fermer clothed in the traditional
hunting-shirt peculiar to this region; his right
arm resting on the plough-handles, and his left
supporting a woodman's axe,— indicating that
while the territory is partially cultivated it is
still in process of being cleared of the original

Tennessee from May, 1801, to September, 1808,
oerapied a very anomalous position. On the 0th
of February the people of tne State were called
upon to rote upon the ouestion of ** Convention*'
or ** No Convention,*'— ttds being a preliminary to
■eoesalon. The result was as followB : for a ** Con-
Tention,*' 57,798 ; •* No 0>nTention,^ 00,075. There
was also an election held for delegates to the Ck>n-
Tention— ** if ordered.** At this election the dis-
union delMatee had an aggregate vote of 24,740.
and the Union delegates had an aggregate rote of
88,803. Notwithstanding those strong expressions
of the will of the people, the Ooremor of the State
called an extra session of the Legislature, at which
an* ordinance of ** separation** was passed on the
0th of MaT, 1801. A form of election was held on
this question of ** separation,'* on the 8th of June,
but Tennesiee by that time was In the chaos of
insurrection, the dlsunlonists having occnirfed the
Stato with camps of armed men, so that a free ez-
presslon was not possible, and the alleged result
In fisvor of disunion was never verified. From
this time untU February, 1802, the State was
entirely dominated by the dlsunlonists. Isham
O. Harris was elected (k>vernor for two years,—
until October, 1803,— and Representatives were
sent to the (>onfederato Congress at Richmond.
On the 23d of February, 180^ the Union forces
under General Nelson entered Nashville, and on
the following 4th of March, Andrew Johnson was
commissioned Military Governor. Under his au-
thority tlio offlcers above named oonstitnted the

of flovemment over the greater parts of Middle

iemi-€uinually on the amount of State bonds
(|1J381,832.03, mosUv bearing interest at the rate
of STe per cent.), and bank stodc (978,500), held by
the Board of Education ; in the amounts realized
annually from a tax on the capital stock and sur*
plus of the Farmers' Bank, Southern Bank of Ken-
tucky, Gommercial Bank, and Bank of Ashland;
and in a tax of five cents on the one hundred dol-
lars* worth of taxable property in this Common-
wealth, or one^ixth of the net revenue annually
collected. A small amount also has been realized
to the Educational Fund under the provisions of the
act imposing penal ties for betting on elections, and
of the act by which all forfeitures to the Common-
wealth in actions for the recovery of money lost at
gaming are to be appropriated for the use and
benefit of the Common School Fund. The amount
per scholar, counting the whole number reported,
allotted out of the treasury March 1, 1863, on ac-
count of schools taught during the year 1862, was
one dollar and five cents, a lareer amount than
has been disbursed since March 1, 1860. The
whole amount of funds in the treasury to the
credit of common schools on the 1st of March,
1863, was $341,528.30; and, financially, the school
system was then in better condition than at any
previous time since the beginning of the rebellion.

It Is DO misuse of terms to btylo thii* school a
pocoUar institution. lU design is to reform and
educate jnTenileofTendors. The school is organ-
ized on a plan similar to that of the Fi-onch Agri-
cultural Colony at Mettray. The inmates are
diTided Into fonr ftunillei, each under the care of
a head, catled the " Wdor Brothw." A large (arm
(1170 acres) is attached to the school. On this the
boys labor during seToral hours each day, five
hours l>eing devoted to the school-room. The
restraint imposed upon the boys is of the mildest
type. There are no walls about the establishment
to fnroTent escape; and yet Tory few escapes are
attempted. The school bad been five years in
operation in January, 1863, and was regarded as
a complete success.
The number of boys in the sehotft, Not. 1,
1861, was 178

effectual reform.

JVbte^— The three-months men firom Ohio, of
April, 1801, were organixed into 22 regiments of
infkntrv, 2 batteries of artillery, and 2 companies
of CATalnr. Of the infantry regiments, 18 were
organized ander the President's call for 75,000
men ; and 2 of these were sent immediately to
Washington, and the other 9 went to Camp Den-
iiiw>n. At the same time the State authorities
omalzed 9 other reciments for State defence,—
•lao for three months; and these were subso-
qnentiy sent to West Virginia, where they did
good senrice. These make up the 22 regiments
of three-months men set down at tho Ibot of the
table as containing 22,000 men. No other figures
«r»giTen concerning them, in the Reports of the
A^tant-General; nor do those Reports presenre
tt«j«rwiwiej of their orwuilxatlon. After the 18
rwnsents of three-months men, who went to the
Held, had returned, they, and the 9 regiments stiU
rwnainfag at Oamp Dennlson, were raorfanlzed
for the three-years senrice, retaining their original
numbers, ft^om Ist to 22d, as they appear in the
foregoing table. As far as the original command-
ing ofilcers of the three-months men can be traced
in reports, they were the same as already given
for the threeorears service, ^-ith the following
exceptions:— "nie 1st was reorganized by Colonel
B. F. Smith, vice Colonel A. D. McCook; the 16(h
was reorganised bv Colonel Dickey, vice Colonel
; the 16th was reorganized by Colonel
J. F. DeConrcey, vice Colonel — ; and the
20th was reorganised by Colonel Charles Mliit-
tlesey, vice Colonel — %
Enrolment qf MOUia and the Drafl </ 1862^
Under the requisition of July, 1862, for 800,000
militia, an enrolment of the Ohio militia waa
made by the township assessors. Their returns
show an aggregate of 4264^7 enrolled as liable to
military duty at that time. Between the enrol-
ment and the day finally fixed for the draft, so
many volunteers had come forward for three
years that the number ultimately drafted was but
12,251. Of these, a large number volunteered by
themselres or by substitutes for three years, and
4617 were discharged for disability, Ac, bo that
the actual number of drafted men sent to the
field to the close of 1862 was but 1796.
Acifuiant-OeneraTt J2fpor<.— The Report of Ad-
Jutan^Ooneral Charles W. Hill, dated Dec. 31,
1862, is an octavo pamphlet of 130 pages, with
interesting details of the progress of military
operations in Ohio during the year 1862. Owing,
however, to the duplication of regiments bearing
the same number in the line. It is difficult some-
times to identiiy which of two with the same num-
ber is the one to which partlcnlftr officors belong.

Stavx Normal School, Ypolakti,— A. S. Welch,
PrincipaL--Th» State Board of Education report
this institution as stUi (1862) pursuing a course of
luiabated useftalness. The number of students
during the year was 407 in the Normal Depart-
ment and 86 in the Model School. It was opened
In April, 1863, and had sent out, to the above date,
110 graduates, many of whom were employed as
teachers in the graded schools. During the six
years prior to 18C^ It had fumlshad to the inimary
schools of the State more than 100 teachers an-
nually. Applicants for admission to the Normal
School must be, if males, 18 years of age, if females,
16 years of age; and they must pledge themselves
to engage, after graduation, in teaching in the
public schools of the State. The tuition fee for
the summer term is $2, and for the winter term $A.
»or the year 1862 the expenditores were $10.913.S4,
and the receipU were $11 .684.86, of which $10,000
were fh)m the State and $1666 team tuition fees.
UNivERsreT OF MiCHiQAK, Awif Arbor.— The Uni-
versity of the State of Michigan owes its origin to
a grant of lands by Congress to the Territory of
Michigan. As eariv as 1804, an entire townsliip
was thus reserved for the endowment of sooh ma
institution. In the year 1826, a new act was passed
increasing the grant to 72 sectiona, or two a&ttra
townships. Theso lands were carefloUy sslectad,
and from their sale has arisen the magniAoe&t
fund, amounting, iu 1862, to $526,000, &t>m wluch
the University is mainly supported. Various orif-
nancoH of the old Territory of Michigan were psird
with a view to establishing the Unlversi^, but it
was not until 1837, after the State was admitted
into the Union, that it was finally established. A
Medical Department wss added in 1850, and a Law
School in 1860. The University has had a dse-
quered fortune, but is now in the hi^est degree
prospOTous and usefril. It has Ihcmties of arte
and sdencee, of medidne and law, and also of Che
higher sciences and the fine arts. No one of the
State univcs^tieB has so large an endowBMnter so
complete an organixation as this. Tlie instroctioa
is free, — a matriculation fee of $10 only being re-
quired upon entering the unlvenlty, but no fkntlMr
payment being asked, however extended theooona
e From 6 to 20 years of sge.

The State Auditor, Jesse K. Dubois, Esq^ made

comlition of the 25 remaining banks of Illinois on
tlie 5th of October, 1803 :—

At the date of the Auditor's last preTioos Re-
port (Dec I860), there were 110 banks in openr
tion in the State, with an aggregate drculation
of $12,320,094. The great depredation of stocks
which followed the breaking out of the rebellion
compelled the Auditor to call on the banks to
make eood the securities then deposited as the
basis of their circulation. As a consequence, all
but 17 of tho banks went into liquidation. To
the latter 5 more were added in 1862. Two of the
old banks resumed operations, and one additional
bank was added, prior to October, 1803, making in
all tho 25 banks, whose condition is above reported
for that month.

Seventh Biennial Report of this institntion ftir-
nishes the following particulars of its condition
and operations to Nov. 20, 1862. At that date
Uiere wore 64 pupils,— 38 males and 26 females.
Since its openinK,181 pupOs have been the recipi-
ents of its benefits and instruction. It Is mainly
supported by an annual appropriation frvm the
State Treasury of $12,000. The buildings are
convenient and commodious, being equal to the
aooommodatlon of all the blind children in HU-
nois.
iLLHf 018 Stati PKrmicTiAST, JoLUT.— Statistics
from the Report of Samuel K. Casey, Warden and
Lessee, of Dec. 1, 18^.— The number of prlsonsrs
on the 1st dav of December, 1860, was 672: vtx.,
604 males and 8 females. In the two following
{rears, to Dec. 1, 1862, there were received 587, and
n the same time 720 were discharged; leaving in
the Penitentiarr, at the date of the Report, 680.
These figures show a decrease of 188 in the two
years. Of those classed among the discharged,
there were 17 deaths,— 12 in 1861 and 5 in 1862.
One death was by suicide, 1 fiiun gunshot wounds
received while attempting an escape, 1 ttom ix^Vf
ries produced by a fidf from the top of the Warden's
house, and the others were ttom ordinary disease.
The Penitentiary is a new building on an extensive
scale, and was not yet completed Jan. 1, 1868. At
that time there had been expended ibr construc-
tion $754,721 ; and the estimate for its completion
required additional appropriations of $177;DS5:
total actual and estimated cost. $982,656. The
Prison Gommissioners recommended to the Legis-
lature of 1868 the abolishment of the present
Srstem of leasing the Penitentiary, and the adop-
on of a plan which appears to be a modification
of the congregate and separate systems. They
speak very highly of the management of the
Eastern Penitentiary of Pennsylvania.
luuHon AKD THx War. — At 11 o*clock of the
21st of April, 1861, Governor Tates despatched
from Chicago a force of 505 men. with four pieces
of artillery, under General Swill, to occupy the
important position of Cairo, in that State. This
litUe body was followed on the next day by seve-
ral other companies, making the whole force of
the ** Cairo Expedition'* 9(B men. From that
time to the Ist of January. 1863, Illinois had
placed in ths flsld 187 rei^ments of inlkntry.

the Mlasonri Legialature appropriated $3^000,000
in Union Militant Bonds to pay the enrolled mi-
litia 0f the State called into artiTe serrlce. These
bonds hare the form of circulating notes. I>own
to Norember 10, 1862, $728,000 had been issued.
It waa not known at that date whether the
$8,000,000 appropriated would pay all the claims
ai^nst the ftind, and Governor Gamble recom-
mended the appropriation of an additional amount
of $t>W,000.

CovMOir SCBOOU.— The disturbed condition of

abolkhad the oflkca of Superintendent of Common
SchooUL and Impoaed thedntlea of snperrMon, Ac
on the Secretary of Stote. This officer haa made
no report on the subject since 1861, and none will
be ma^ until 1866. The Auditor of Public Ac-
counts, in his report of December, 1802, recom-
mended a suspension until 1864 of the usiisl
School Fund appropriation of 25 per cent, from the
revenue, in consequence of the impracticability
of carrying on the school system outside of St.
Louis. The School Fund at that time amounted
to $687,968, invested in Steto Bonda. The school
monevs in the treasury amounted to $129,618.
The Seminary Fund consists of $100,000, also in-
vested in Stete Bonds.

institution 28 pupils, via. : 20 malea and 8 femalea;
on the lat of October. 1862, there were 21 malea

creaaed (Oct. 1868) to 44 pupils, and for the year

R. H. Smith, Sup«rxntmdmt.—ln the fall of 1861.
the operations of this institution were saspendea
(one of the manv lamentoble consequences of the
rebellion), and uiey were not resumed until Sep-
tember 7, 1868, at which time the Asylum waa
reopened. A report of its condition was made to
the Legislature at the November session of that
J rear; but it is not yet published (pec. 1868). A
etter from the Superintendent states that 108
patiente had been received ftx)m September 7 to
December 2, 1868. An approoriation had been
asked to reAimish the whole building, which
would then accommodate 360 patients.
STATsPsnoir, JxTPsnaoHCiTT.— Of this estoblisb*
ment the only information frimished is contained
in the following passages from Governor Gamble's
message of December 30, 1862:— ** When the Pro-
visional Government waa estobliahed, the Peniten-
tiary waa found to be entirely under the control
of those hostile to the United Stotes; the insUtn-
tion waa languishing under their mismanagement,
and rapidly approaching a condition of starvap
tion.** These officers were removed; and "since
the change there haa been a great hnprovement
in ito condition, and the proq>ecte are that it wHl
aoon oeaae to be a drain on tiie Treasury."
Cowmav or ths Stats.— On this sutrfect Go-
vernor Gamblers message to the Legialature at Ite
adijourned session November, 1868, contains the
following >-** There is now within the. Stete no
military organization hostile to the CK^vemment
of the United Stetes, and there is every indication
that the former feeling of hostility lias settled
down into a quiet acqiuescence in the supremacy
of that Government, and an unwillingness to
have the peace of the State further disturbed br
rebel organisations. This condition of aflUrs la
ftiUy exemplified by the fact that a body of rebela
under the command of Governor Shelby invaded
the State from Arkansas, and penetrated to tho
Missouri River. He was met by Steto troopa
alone, the Stete militia and enrolled militia,— waa
routed in battle, and haa been driven out of the
State without obtaining any aoceaaion to his foroe ;
while all along his route there was exhibited

Mnsoinu avx» thi Was. — In answer to the
tha people of St. Louis, who began to /mwablfi at
the araenal on the 22d of that montB. SMDqob
were mustered in that day, and. in the fcmowliig
two weeks, foixr regiments of iniantry and a bat-
talion of artillery were orgsmized, with an aggre-
gate Btrength of about 4500 men. A fifth rcginiont
of infantry was organized about the some time,
numbering 926 men. Early in May, under authority
to enrol the loyal dtizeus of St. Louis, a " Reserve
Corps" of five additional regiments was raised, nitb
an aggregate strength of 4774 officers and men.
The combined force of these organizations on the
1st of June, aftw further recruiting, was 10,730.
The whole of this force was raised in St. Louis, and
was employed in the Add or in garrison nntif dis*
charged or remnstered into the three-yean mt-
vice. (The details reUting to this force will ba
found in the subjoined Tkble A.) About tho same
time (June, 1861), 10,000 stand of arms were dls>
tzibuted by the United Statea GovemmeBt to tha
loval Inhabitanta of Missouri, and the persona to
whom these arms were given organised themsdvas
into ** Home Guards.** Other persons Joined theae
organizations, flimishing their own arms. No
accurate enrolment was made of the forces reload
in this way; but the then AdJutant-Oenornl uf the
State estimated them at 15,000. There was a dass
of them, however, who properly belong to' the
volunteer force of Missouri in the active servioe
of the United States. This class was composed of
the Home Guards, numbering 2200, under General
Igron, who were kept in the fidd until their term
of three months expired. The details concerning
this force are also in Table A. During the year a
body of tho Missouri State Militia, numbering
6185 men, were In the service fbr dx months.
(See Table A.) Immediatdy after the Preddent's
call fur men for three years, many of the existing
organizations were musterea into the United Stafos
service for the war (or three yearsX and many
new ones were formed, mustering In dl, on the
1st of January, 1862, 32,821. The details of these
OTganizations are set forth in Table B, as they
stood on that day. In the*foIlowing year (1802) a
great many changes were made in these regiments
and companies, and there was so much sUfHn^
transferring, consolidating, and " mustering out/*
that it is difflcult to keep trace of them; b«t the
effect of it dl was to reduce the force of 32,821 in
the table to 19,042 men. All this la expldaed bv
the remarks in and with tha table. During 1808
a number of additional three-yean reglmenta,*c
were organized; and these, with the now trf^mi-
zations formed out of some of the old ones, art
exhibited in the subjdned Table 0, aa they alaod
Dec. 1, 1862. The strength of the regiments in
that table was 11,761, thus raidng the total of
MfMouri three-years men in service, in 1862, to
30,803. (Before Dec 1 of that year, losses in battle,
by disonsc, Ac reduced that force to 27,407.) There
was also in sorvlce, Doc 1,1802, a second levy fVom

The Judicial power of the State of Iowa is
Tested in a Supreme Court, District Courts, and
auch other courta, inferior to the Supreme Court,

Taction of erron at law, and has. power to issue
all writs and process necessary to secure Justice

oTor all inferior tribunals. The court oonaistB
of three Judges, chosen by the qualliled decton
of the State, and they hold their offices for six
Tears, one Jndge retiring erery second year, un-
less rejected. The Judge having the shortest
term to serre Is Chief-Justice. Four terms of Ihs
court are held annually, two of them at Darn*
port, on the aeoond Mtrndays in April and Oo-
tober. and two at Des Moines, on the lint Xea-
days In June and December.
For DistrictOourt purposes, the State la diviM
into eleven districts, in each <^ which there ii a
court hairing both common law and equity pomtt%
and Jurisdiction In all ciril and crlmliMl mattsn
arising in the district. The Judge of each of tbs
District Courts is elected bv the qualified ^btcton
of the district, and holds hu offica for four ysan;

FBOM 1850 TO 1863 uroLUSiTi.
The following table is taken fh>in the printed
reports of the Auditor of State, excepting only
that for the jear 1860, which is from the United
States census, giving the cash value instead of the
(Uie$aed value of property. Up to and including
1867, regular annual assessments were made;
alter that year, regular assessments were made
every alternate year,— 1860, 1861, and 1863. The
discrepancies existing — especially in the number
of acres returned— are principally owing to want
of returns from some of the counties, and cannot
now be corrected. In regard to the other items,
errors are evident in several counties, in carrying
ont the value of property, — ^most of them pro-
bably typographical. The table, however, Is ai
near correct as the records furnish, and will
serve as the beet approximatiou that caa be
Slven of the progressive value, and sometimet
epreciation in value, of the taxable proper^
of the State. It is probable that at lesst one-
half of the land assessed is owned by noo^v-
sidents. The average assessed value of lands is a
fraction over $4.33 per acre, and the tax on all
property for State purpoaes la two mills on the
aaaeiBsed value. The taxes for all other poipoM
— county, school, Ac.— are aboot eight milli

A communication from the Saperintendent of
this institution, dated Dec. 10, 1868, furnishes
the following particulars of ita condition at
that time. It was removed from Iowa City in
the summer of 1862 to Vinton, a village of about
1600 inhabitants, where it has the advantage
of a new and permanent edifice of limestone,
108 feet long by 70 wide, and four stories in
height. Sinee June, 1862, the number of papils
had increased fh)m 80 to 60. Nearlv all the blind
In the institution were so by accident, or fh>m
Inflammation. The theory and practice of the
establishment la thought to combine the ad-
▼antagoa of all othera, and the atandard of ez-
ceUence ia claimed to be aa high aa that in the
inatitution at Philadelphia. The report for the
two yeara 1802-68 abowa the whole nnmber of
pupila tobe66; nnmberof teacher8,6. TheeofI
of the new bnildlng waa $10,000; cost of main-
tenance (time not stated), inclnding remoifal of
Aimiture, muaical Instruments, fitting up grofloda.
Ac., $10,000. TUs last sum is supposed to indods
the expenditures of about eig;hteen months prior
to December, 1863. The aaalatants to the 8B|Nt^

Iowm*fe 1st regiment for the present war was
nnvtered May H 1^61. From that date to De-
eember, 18b3, she had contributed to the armies
of the United Stotes 62,210 men, all of which are
for three years, excepting the let regiment of 969
men. They are organized into 40 regiments of
Infimtry, 9 regiments of cavalry, and 4 batteries
of artillery. In addition to tnis large force, the
State had in the serrice, for the protection of her
■outhem borders against lawless men from Mis-
■oari, and her northern borders from Indian out-
breaks, a militia force of 1046 men. In 1863 she
WM obliged to call out still another militia force
of 1100, to quell the disturbances in Keokuk
eomaty. Most of the important particulars con-
c«mlBg all these Iowa troops will be found in the

Judiciary <^f Witcotrnfu
The judicial power of the State, both as to
matters of law and equity, is vested in a Supreme
Court, Circuit Courts, Courts of Probate, and in
Justices of the peace. The Legislature has power
to establish Municipal Courts, with Jurisdiction in
their respectiTe municipalities, not exceeding that
of the Circuit Courts, and also to create inferior
courts in the sereral counties, with limited civil
and criminal Jurisdiction.
The Supreme Court has i4>pellate Jurisdiction,
both as to matters of law and equity, which ex-
tends to all matters of appeal, error, or complaint
from the decisions or Judgments of the Circuit and

JWnd:iw->Wisoon8in, like most of the Western
Statea, has a number of " Funds" auxiliary to the
(eneral operations of its Treasury, and the agsre-
gates of receipts and expenditures are swelled
beyond the real amounts inrolved by the transfers
of cash or credits from one Fund to another. The
principal Funds are— Ist. The General Fund, de*
rired iTom taxes, licenses, and the other ordinary
sources of State income; 2d. The School Fund,
derived (Vom sales of lands granted to the State
by CongresB for educational purposes; 3d. Tlie
War Fond, derived from the sale of State bonds;
4Ui. The Allotment Fnnd, derived from monevs
aUptted by the Wisconsin Tolunteera to be dW
trilmted to their CuniUes; 6th. The University
Fund, derived flrom the |wooeeds of Congressional
land grants; 6th. The Swamp-Land Fund, derived
from the proceeds of swamp-lands cranted to the
State bj Oongrsas. Soma of these nmds are sub- 1
dirided into ** Income" Funds : this being the case
wherever the principal is required to be Invested
and only the mcome expended, as in the case (tf
the School and University Funds.
EtUmate* for 1864.— The Secretary of State In

WncoiTBm Stati I>kbt«— Prior to Hay, 1861,
the State debt was only $100,000, which was the
extent permitted by the Constitution, except In
case of invasion or for the suppression of re-
bellion, Ac. This debt was in six per cent, bonds.
At the extra scasion of the Legislature In May,
1861, a loan for war purpoees of one million dol-
lars more was authorised. Of this, $200,000 was
to be negotiated by the Qoremor alone, and not
below par. The remainder was to be negotiated
Inr the Board of Loan Commissioners, consisting
of the Governor, Secretary of State, and State
Treasurer, on the best terms they could obtain.
The condition of the banks at the time, and the
general distrust of Western securities, together
with some technical defects in the law, rendered
the negotiation of these bonds in the Eastern
money-markets impossible. Under these drcum-
stances, the Wisconsin banknrs came forward, and
offered to taliie the $800,000 bonds, paying 70 per
cent, of their fkco down ({ in specie or N.Y. Ex-
change, and % in their own bills), and the remain-
ing 80 per cent, in instalments of one per cent,
every six months, giring their corporate bonds m
security for this payment, and to deposit the State
bonds with the Bank Comptroller as a basis for
banking In place of the depreciated bonds of the
disloyal Statea. This offer was accepted, and, in-
cluding the sale of some small bonds at par, the
whole amount received from bonds sold up to Oct.
1. 1861, was $688,220.
In the fiscal year ending Oct. \, 1862, the oro*
cetds of bonds sold amounted to $472,602 ; and in
the year ending Oct. 1, 1863, the ammaU qf bonds
sold was $3462400. The total of these sums (in-
cluding the $100,000 of debt existing prior to
1861) is $1,606,222. It must be borne in mind
that some of the above items represent proceedi
only, the bonds bein^ disposed of at a dleconnt.
It does not appear in the State reports whether
any of this debt had been dtsoharged or not.
Bakks or Wiacowsur.— The published official
returns showing the condition of the Banks of
Wisconsin come down no i^urther than October,

The Judicial power of Minnesota is vested in a
Supreme Court, District Courts, Courts of Probate,
Justices of the Peace, and such other courts inferior
to the Supreme Court as the Legislature may, by a
two-thirds Tote, otitablish. The Supreme Court,
wiUi original Jurisdiction in such remedial cases as
are prescribed by law, and appellate jurisdiction in
all cases, both in law and equity, consists of a Chief-
Justice and two Associate Justices, elected by the
people at large, to hold office for seven years and
nntil their successors are qualified. The Legisla-
Utore, by a two-thirds vote, may Increase the num-
ber of Associate Justices to four. There are no
trials by Jnnr in this court The court appoints a
reporter of its decisions. The clerk Is chosen by
the people for throe years and until bis successor
is qualified. The Supreme Court holds two ses-
sions annually, at St Paul, on the Ist days of
July and December respectively. There Sfe six
Judges of the District Courts, elected in single
districts for seven years and until their luctc— wi
are chosen. A clerk for those courts is chosen In
each county for four years. The District Coorta
have original Jurisdiction in all cases in law and
equity where over $100 is in controreny, and in
criminal cases whore the punislunent may be Im-
prisonment for over threio months, or a floe of
over $100. There are Probate Covuis in eac^
organised county, and the Judges are elected ibr
two years. Justices of the Peace are elected in
each county for two years. Their Jurisdiction in
civil cases does not exceed $100, and in criadnal
cases they cannot imprison over three immtfhi,
nor fine over $100. The jvmtHcM of the T
and District Courts can bold no other offloe, 1M^
ral or State, nor be eUgible during their term te
any other than a Jndldal office; and their eo^
pensation cannot be diminished daring tbdr «en>
tinuance in office.

Common SoaooL8.>-The Department of
Instruction of Minnesota is unable to

showing the condition and working of the
mon schools of the State. This fact is declared in
the Superintendent's report, dated December M,
1802. The causes given for a resolt so rnndi le
be regretted are the meagre, crude, conlbwi,
and unsatisfactory reports made to the Depnrt*
uient These causes are in turn the effects of
another,— as the Superintendent aleo sayi that
no session of the Legislature sbice the Ofiganiai*
tion of the State has been allowed to pass wfik-
out somtf reconstruction or alteration of the wbole
common-school system. Mo law to 1^ to i
long enough to become fomiliar before it to son-
planted by a new one, and that new one «
soon supplanted by another. Minnesota, there-
fore, stands almost alone among het sisters as
contributing no material to Uie edocatfooal
sUtlstics of the country. That her comnwh
school affairs are in thto unsatisfkctory stale li
not to be accounted for by want of means: ftr

DiA7 Axn Dma Ain> BLnn> Ain> Issjun.— No
iastitations for the education and care of these
rlissm of unfortunates hare yet been established
in tha State of Minnesota. The Legislataro, at
the scsKion of 1802, adopted a resolntion au-
thorising the Goremor to ascertain on what
teraia sneh persons ooald be admitted into the
proper institutions of other States. At a subse-
quent session of the Legislature, a proposition
from the Iowa Institution for the Insane being
found to be the most reasonable, the Governor was
anthortaed to place in that institution a number
of the destitute insane persons of the State, not
•xceMling ten, and an appropriation to the
aaMNiDt of $3000 was made to defhiy the expenses
inddieat thereto. Under this authorixation, the
Goremor had sent to the Iowa Institution for
tiia Insane six persons, to be supported there at
the expense of Minnesota. Notblnff is reported

following was 7, — making the whole niunber oo»
fined during the year, 2U. Of theee, 6 were die*
charged, — leaving the number of convicts remain-
ing in prison at the date of tho report, 23. Of the
7 convicted during the year 1862, 2 were bom itt
the United States, aqd 6 were of foreign birth.
The crimes for which these 7 were sentenced
were — larceny, 2 ; robberv, 3 ; violent assaults, 2.
The expenses of the prison for the year wore
$6S88, which was defrayed in part by earnings
of tho prisoners to the amount of 18729. The
balance of the expenses was paid by the State.
The Imdian Massaoeb or 1862.— In the month
of August, 1868, Minnesota was afflicted by one
of the most awfhl visitations that can befall a
civilized State. On the 17th of that month, four
Indians belonging to one of the bands resident
on the borders of Minnesota murdered a fiuniW
of six persons at Acton, in Messier county. This
seemed to be the signal for a general uprising
among the Sioux Indians in that neighborhood,
and for several weeks afterwards a broad tract
of country was laid waste, the houses burned,
and the inhabitants murdered or carried off into
captivity. No language can fiilly express th«
fiendish outrages perpetrated during this satiu>
nalia of savage cruelty. More than 600 persons
were butchered in cold blood : men and women
in the prime of life, unoffending old age. and help-
less infencv, were alike the victims. The theatrp
of depredations extended fh>m Otter Tail Lake
and iTort Aberorombie, on the Red River, to the
Iowa boundary, over a flront of 200 miles, and
flrom the western border of the SUte eastwardly
to ito heart at Forest City,— an area of 20,000
sq5iare miles. The property destroyed or carried
off as plunder amounted to millions of dollars,
including large supplies of arms and ammunition
stolen fh»m the Government and from private
stores on the Indian reservations. A military
force was hastily set on foot by the State au-
thorities, and placed under command of General
Sibley, who checked the massacre, rescued the
captives, and, having beaten the Indians in two
batUea at Birch Goolle and Wood Lake, captured
2000 of them, the rest being scattered as fugi-
tives in all directions. These Indian captives were
subsequently tried, and a large number of then,
being found guilty, were sentenced to be hanged.
The final execution of the law, however, was only
carried oat upon 88 of the assassins. Thedaaaga
done to that portion of the State which was the
scene of the massacre will not be recovered for
years to come. For more than a month, f^lly
one-tenth part of the population of Minnesota
were fugitives fkvro their devastated homes, and
dependent on the charities of their distant neigh-
bors and of the generous people of other States
for the necessaries of life. In tlio month of Sep-
tember there were 6690 of these fheitlves re-
ceiving aid in the St. Peter district, 728 in tlie
Minneapolis district, 243 In the Anoka district,
and 616 in the St. Paul district.

The Sioux Indian ITar.— Besides the troops
contributed to the armies of the United States,
Minnesota was called, 1^ a terrible outbreak
among the Sioux Indians, in August and Sep-
tember, 1862, to set on foot a military expedition
for the protection and defence of the people in
her border counties. As a matter of history, this
has been already noticed. The force here re-
fored to was raised almost spontaneously, — the
Tolnnteers in the expedition Mng called on to
fkimish their own rations, and many of them
Oieir own anns. The total Ibcee «m 6B00| of
whom 2721 were soldi^v of the United States^—
the remainder being omnpoaed as ibUovs>—
Gitizena armed by the State, 1227 ; citizens armed
with their own guns, 1162; mounted inJantcy,
400: total State force. 2779. These Toluiteers
turned out at a most critical period, ai
valuable senrioe.

AoucvLTUSAL AXihomta. STATnncB.— Kansas
has made wise provision for collecting each year
the agrionltutal and other important 8tatii>tica of
the State. It has recently been directed by law
that every. county assessor in the State shall, at
the time of making lists of. property for taxation
each year, require every person in the county to
make a statement, specifying the number of acres
he may have had in wheat, rre^ barley, onm,
bwAwheat, oats, potatoes, sorghum, flax, hemp,
cotton, and tobacco, and also a statement of the
quantities of each of said products raised by him
m the preceding year ; also a statement of the nnm-
ber of mules, horses, cattle, sheep, and hogs over
six months old, owned by him. At the same time,
the assessors are to ascertain and set down. In
tables prepared for that purpose, lists of all per*
sons in each county who are deaf and dumb, or
bund, <»" idiots, setting forth their names and
otter particulars relanng to their identity and
Utton. These '
I statementa are to be returned
to the Auditor, who is to tabulate them for the
information of the Legislature and the people
of the State.
Kahsas Statb PMiTMfiiAET.— No building ex-
duslTely devoted to the purposes of a State peni-
teutiary has yet been erected. An act providing
for the construction of such a building was passed
by the Legislature in February, 1863. The com-
misdoners authorised by this act are to make
arraagementa for the temporary confinement of
the State oonvicts until the building is erected.
The new penitentiary has been located near the
city of LeaTeoworth, where ttm rnmiwIiiniiB
have purchased a dte containing dOacsvs ef laai,
payini^ for the same $660. In the mean time, the
State convicts are confined and provided far in
the Leavenworth countr jail. During the year
1802, 32 prisoners were kept there on accoant of
the State, 18 of whom were discharged before the
end of the year, iMiving 14 still in conflnetasmt
on the 1st of January, 1863. The expense Ibr

John P. Mitchell, Deputy Sheriff and Jafkr of
Leavenworth county, has charge of the State oesr
vicfis as Warden.

te&PB CuiruBBw— ^Us has grown to be a Tery
important branch of the agriculture of Oalifinmia.
In 1866 aU the Tinea in the State did not number
1,000,000; but in 1862 the number had increased
to 10^602,762. The county assessors report 843,471
l^lons of wine made in 1861; but a committee
«C the Legislatare r^eot these returns as erro*
»eo«s, and add that the wine product of 1862 was
700,000 gallons. It is claimed in a memorial pre-
pared by this committee that California will soon
produce more wine than all the other States. The
average number of Tines to the acre in California
ia 900; and an acre of vinevard in /idl bearingjn
that Stato produces 500 gallons per annum. The
10,592,702 Tines in that Stato must cover 11,600
acres; and tUs number of acres, at 600 gallons to
ttie acre, should rield when in full bearing 5,760,000
gallons. Allowing 83 per cent. Ibr consumption,
the yield of wine Ibr commerce should be 8,700,000.
These are the estimates of the committee. Most
of the Tines of the Stato are still quito young.
The Talue of the " must** (the freshly expressed
Jnfce of the grape) is 16 cents per gallon at the
Tlaeyard. Ten per cent of the must is lost, by
eraporation and sediment, in the first Tear; the
cost tar casks aTerages 10 cents per gsllon; the
cost of shipping flrom Los Angeles to San Fran-
diico is about 10 cents per gallon; and. when
bottled, the cost per gallon for bottles is SO cents.

The commitmMiti In 1S62 war* but 07 p«r eent.
of the nomber oommltted in 1800, and were lees
than In any year for 10 Tean. The number tinder
the head of <Ued and killed for 1802 U 16 ; of theee
there were 8 deaths flrom gunshot wounds re-
ceived during a rerolt of the prisoners in July,
1802. 2i others were wounded at the same time,
but they an recoTered. This prison In peculiarly
liable to revolts, owing to the circumstance that
fatfge numbers, ranging from 40 to 00, are con-
fined in a single room; and It is equally liable to
eacapea, firom its inaecure construction, and from
the employment of the prisoners in brickyards
ootside of the prison-buildings. Theee circum-
stances will account for the large number of 00
•scapes in a single year. Of the 677 prisoners re-
maining, Dec 1802, the oonvictiona were as fol-
low:—
Murder, 7; murder, second degree, 04; man-
alaaghter, 41; assault, with intent to kill, 80; as-
sault with deadly weapon, 14; mayhem, 3; npe^

The nativitiee of theee prisoners were: nativo-
bom, 285; foreign-bom, 342, and of the foreign-
bom 47 were Chinese. Expenditures, from Jan.
18, 1802, to Dec 31. 1802. $60,488; to the credit of
which there was due the prison on sundry ao-
coonts, for convict labor, ic 121,212, reducing the
net expenditurea to $88,270. Of this Utter
amount $13,128 was expended for improvements
to the prison, leaving the actual cost of support-
ing the prison for the period above steted, $26453.
Tm Gbbjit Fuwm or 1801-2.— The Report of
the Surveyor-General contains some interesting
motabiUa of the pe«t floods in the valleys of the
Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers of Deoonber
0, 1801, and January 10, 1862, which converted
those valleys Into a vast lake, — to nearly the ex-
tant of Lake Michigan,— and which destroyed mil-
lions of dollars* worth of property. There is un-
qneationable evidence, in the age of the ^ees
swept from the banks of those rivers and in other
like circumstances, that there had been no such
ovm^w for several centuries. But the most in-
teresting particulars to the general reader, as well
as to the meteorologist, are those connected with
the immense quantities of rain that fell during
the season of tne flood. At Sacramento, the &U
of rain during the mohth of December was 8.0
inches, and in January over 15 inches. But, heavy
as this is, it Is slight compared with the rain-ail
recordedata station in Nevada county by Mr. 1% il-
liam A. Begole, communicated by request of tha
Surveyor-Oeneral. This record begins on the 28d
of Deo9mber,subeequent to the first flood. Daring
the seven days succeeding the 28d, the fall of rain
was lA inches; in the next nine days it was 0.06
inches; on the next day (Jan. 10), 6.8 Inches; and
on Jan. 11, 6.6 inches: making a total of 2 feet H
inches of rain in nineteen days, nearly 12 inches of
which fell within the forty-eight hours ending with
Jan. U. Between Jan. 11 andJaa. 23 (12 days) tha
additional foil of rain was over 10 incJies, making
the entire ikll for the month, l^m Dec 28,42
inchee, or three feet nine inches f In November,
and early in December, large quantities of snow
had follen in the mountains to tne north and eaat
of Sacramento. This was followed by a soasoa
of extraordinary temperature. The average for
the month of December at Sacramento, for eight
years prior to 1861, had been 40'' 81' while tha

I^jpulation, 1800, 75,080. Thia district ia under the govemmont of Congreas.
Thia dlatrict ia peculiar in both its political and
Koograpliical relations to the United States. The
nrat article of the National Constitution, section 8,
proTidea that Congress shall exercise exclusiTe
leffisUition OTer such district (not exceeding ten
miles s<iQare) as may, by cession of particular
States and the acceptance of Congress, become the
■eait of government of the United States. In pur-
Boance of this proYision of the Constitution, Con-
cress, by an act approved July 10, 1790, accepted
from the States of &|aryland and Virginia a district
of territory, to be located on the river Potomac,
fiir the permanent seat of the government of the
United States. Acts of cession had been already
passed by Maryland, Dec. 23. 1788, and by Yirginia,
Dec 3, 1789. But there is quite an interesting piece
of history connected with the subject antecedent
to this action. The CongreM of the Revolution
was sometimes a ftigitive, holding its sessions, as
the chances of war required, at Philadelphia, Bal-
ttmMv, Lancaster, Annapolis, and York, Pa. Dur-
ing the period between the conclusion of peace and
the commencement of the present Government, it
met at Princeton, Annapolis, Trenton, and New
York- After the idea of a permanent Union had
been execnted in part by the adoption of Uie A>
tides of Confederation, the question presented
itself of fixing a seat of government, and this im-
mediately called forth intense interest and rivalry.
Tbmt the place should be central, having regard to
tlie populatioD and territory of the Confederacy,
was tlM only point common to the contending
narties. Prc^Hwitions of all kinds were offeretL
debated, and rejected. At length, on the 7th of
October, 1788, the Congress being at Princeton, it
was resolved that a building for the use of Con-
aiess be orected near the Falls of the Delaware.
nds was soon after modified by requiring suitable
buildings to be also erected near the Falls of the
Potomac, tliat the residence of Congress miriit
alternate between those places. But the question
was not allowed to rest; and at length, alter fre-
quent and warm debates, it was rescuved that the
resldenoe of Congress should continue at one place ;
aad commissionen were appointed with ftill power
to lay out a district for a Federal town near the
Talis of the Delaware, and in the mean time Con-
gress aSKsmbled alternately at Trenton and An-
n^>olis ; but the Representatives of other States
oontinuod to exert themselves for thehr favorite
localities. On the 23d of December, 1784, it was
resolved to ranove to the city of New York, and
to remain there until the building on the Delaware
should be completed ; and aoconUngly, on the 11th
of January, 178ft, the Congress met at New York.
where they continued to hold their sessions until
the confederation gave place to the Constitution.
The ccMDmisrioners to lay out a town on the Dela-
ware reported their proceedings to Congress, but
no fiirther steps were taken to carry the resolution
into effect. Some proposed New York, others some
eonvenSent place on the banks of the Susquehanna.
T^ the latter. Southern members — among whom
was Mr. Madison— were strenuously opposed. All
admitted the importance of the step about to be
taken, involving, as it perhaps might have done,
the aafoty of the Government itselfl For a time
any sgrasinsnt appeared to be impossible; but the
good genius of oar system finally prevailed, and
«& tha l«Ch of July, 1790, the act already referred
to was passed and approved, containing the fol-
lowing clause : —
" That a district of territory on the river Potomac,
at some place between the mouths of the Eastern
branch and the Connogocheague, be, and the same
is hereby, accepted, for the permanent seat of the
Government of the United states."
The same act provided that Congress should hold
its sessions at Philadelplda until the first Monday
in November, 1800, when the Government should
be removed to the oistrict selected on the Potomac
Under authority of this act, and that of an amend-
atory act approved March 3, 1791, a district of ten
miles square was located, lying on both sides of
the Potomac, ^d extending along that river from
the Littie Falls to the city of Alexandria, which
was then at the extreme southern point of the
square. From Alexandria the boundary extended
across the Potomac and into Maryland on a sur-
veyed line due northeast for ten miles, thence due
northwest for ten milas, thence duo southwest tea
miles, recrossjng the Potomac into Yir^nia, and
thence due southeast to Alexandria. The lines
and boundaries of the district so located were
ratablisbed, by proclamation of President Wash-
ington, March SO, 1791. DiiOculty arose in the way
of raising money to erect the necessary pnblio
buildings; and it was not until Washington made
a personal appeal to the Legislature of Maryland
that $100,000 were obtained for the purpose, and
then only on a guarantee of payment on the pledge
of the private credit of the commissioners. Frcni
the b^^ning Washington advocated the present
seat of Government. Its establishment here was
due, in a large measure, to his infiuence. The
wings of the Capitol having been sufficiently pre-
pared, the Government removed to this dlstnct on
the 17th of November, 1800. At that time it was
desolate in the extreme, with its long unimproved
avenues and streets, its deep morasses, and its vast
area covered with ti-ees instead of houses. Wash-
ington projected the whole plan of the dty bearing
bis name, upon a scale to accommodate the gpowtn
of centuries, and time enough remains to fill the
measure of his great conception.
By tiie **Act concerning the District of Co-
lumbia,'' approved Feb. 27, 1801, Congress assumed
full Jurisdiction over the district, according to the
design of the Constitution. By this latter act the
district was divided into two counties, that part
lying east of the Potomac (and in Maryland) being
called Washington county, and that part lying west
of the Potomac (and in Yirginia) being called Alex-
andria county. On the 9th of July, 1840, Alex-
andria county was retroceded to Yir^biia, and since
then the district is limited to the county of Wash-
ington, east of the Potomac, within which are the
cities of Washington ahd (Georgetown.
Each of the two cities mentioned hss a municipal
government of its own, with power to lay and col-
lect taxes for municipal purposes ; but the district,
as a whole, is subject to the exclusive legislation
of (Jongrees. Under this patronage, the dty of
Washington has been enriched and adorned, at an
expense of not lees than $30,000,000, by the erection
of costly and stately public edifices, the estabUrii-
ment of broad and beantifU public grounds and
malls, and the construction of a noble aqueduct
which commands nearly the whole volume of the
waters of the Potomac for the uses of the dty.

M OBI tiuun vumMl attention and space are de-
voted to the Territorioe in the Almanac thie year,
I thej are ol^ects of unusual interest and
importaoce» and because the Congressional legis-
lanon on the subject since 1860 has worked ex-
tensive changes in the boundaries of those in
existence at that time. In the following articles
the boundaries of the Territories are described in
the lancoage or in the substance of the organic
acts and of the several modifying acts. Bome-
ttmes « less cumbersome description of their
limits Is added in order to give a general idea of
tlieir situation. The acts establishing the Ter-
ritories of Nevada, Dakota, and Colorado, the act
admitting Kansas into the Union, and especially
tike acts establishing the Territories of Arizona
and Idaho, have made all the old maps worse
than useless. Precise as well as popular deacrip-
tSona are, therefore, a necessity. BoUi are given In
tiks following pages. The organized Territories
•re DOW nine In number, exclusive of the Indian
Territory, vis. : — Arinroa, Colorado, Dakota, Idaho,
Nebraska, NcTada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wash-
ington. Arizona occupies the western half of
what waa New Mexico, and is situated imme-
diately east of Southern California; Colorado
ooven a portion of the old Territories of Kansas,
KsU-sska, New Mexico, and Utah, and it a4)oins
tbe State of Kansas on the west; Dakota has
abeorbed a large portion of the old Territories of
Hebraska and Mumeeota, and it adjoins Minne-
•oCa on the west; Idaho embraces the western
half of the former Territory of Nebraska and the
naaliiiii halves of the old Territories of Wash-
ington and Or^{on, and it extends north and south
ftom the British Possessions to the 41st dM;ree of
north latitude ; Nebraska is reduced to the area
between the Missouri River and the 27th degree
of longitude west firom Waahing^n. and, in ge>
neral terms, between the 40th and 48d degrees of
north latitude, and it adjoins Iowa on the west;
Nevada occupies the western half of what waa
Utah Territory, and it lies immediately east of
Northern California; New Mexico is reduoed to
the eastern half of the former Territory of that
name, and it is sitoated immediately west of
Texas; Utah is limited to that portion of the
former Territory of Utah which is comprised be-
tween the 82d and 38th degrees of longitude west
Trom Washington, and the 87th and A2d degrees
of north latitude, being reduced more than one-
half; and Washington Territory is restricted to
the western part of the old Territorjr situated be-
tween the 40th degree of longitude west from
Washington City and the Paciflc Ocean. From
this general description of the changes effected In
the Territorial boundaries bv recent legislation, it
will be understood at once that all the statements
of population, area, Ac based upon the Census of
18(10 are no longer applicable, and only mislead
the reader. They are, therefore, excluded Stom
their former places at the heads of the articles
relating to the Territories respectively. Wher-
ever late and reliable information on the same
points could be obtained, it has been inserted in-
stead. The areas are Kenerallv given tnm the

cil may by law prescribe. The Judges of the
Supreme Court are appointed by the President,
and hold their offices for four years. One term
of the court must be held annually at the seat
of the Territorial GoTemment For District Court
purposes, the Territory is divided into three Judi-
cial districts, in each of which one of the Justices
of the Supreme Court holds the sessions. The
Supreme and District Courts, respectlTely, possess
Chancery as well as common-law Jurisdiction.

Although some of the gold-bearing districts of
Arizona were known and described years ago, it
was not until the year 1863 that a knowledge
of the great minena wealth of the Territory bo-
came general. The explorations now in progress,
the extraordinary discoveries recently inade, the
geographical pontlon and the geological features
of tne Territory, all confirm the belief that the
tract of land embraced within its limits is of un-
surpassed richness in deposits of the precious
metals. In the Report of the Commissioner of
the General Land Office transmitted to Congress
in December, 1803, that officer says that Arizona
''is believed to be stocked with mineral wealth
beyond that of any other Territory of equal ex-
tant" In the mining regions of the great plateau
between the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra Ke-
vada. The same report gives this farther inlom-
ation concerning the disoovoies and the mining
operations of the new Territory. ** The rich sflvw*
inines of Nevada on the norm, of 8<niora on thf
south, which latter have been traced into and •qb'
cessftilly worked in the southern part of tiie Tfrri*
tory (Arixona), recent discoveries in the vallcj* of
the Upper Colorado and its tributaries and ia
western New Mexico and eastern Aricona, all pdit
to this Territonr as the grand centre ofthe Ibumm*
mineral deposits of this region.** The Oosnai^
doner quotes a letter to the Hon. John S. Wstti,
referring to this region, which descrfbes the ooas*
try north of the GUa as ''rich in gold, silver, sal
copper. In the new mines there is pl«n^ ^
timber, water, and grass. ... I learn they mn
found diggings that pay $1000 to the man. . . .
I think we will have one of the finest ooontrist !■
the world." Another letter, quoted by CuuubIs
sioner Edmunds, speaking of a neighboring At*
trict, says that ''one company of nine men la
July last took out fifty pounds of gold In tea dm.
The claim is situated on the top of one of tas
highest mountains in the vicinity. The gold If
coarse, and is found flnom one to fbnr inches bslow

Vort Garland, established in 1858, U situated near
the 80uthwe»t comer of the Territorv, on a tri-
butary of the Rio Grande, in the Valley of St
Louis. »
Schools are established in all the principal
towns of the Territory; and at Denver City a
large two4tory brick edifice is being built, under
the supervision of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
designed for a female seminarv; and will be com-
pleted during the next month or two, at a cost
of $12,000. (Nov. 1863.)
AoaiouLTuai. — Farms or ranches are being im-
proved in all portions of the Territory, and grain
of all kinds, and vegetables, are being raised in
abundance.
There are four flouring-mills now in operation
In the Territory, — one at Denver, one at Golden
City, one at Colorado City, and one on the Uuer-
Ikno.
NKW8PAPIB& — ^There are two daily papers pub-
lished in Denver,->vix., the Daily Rocky Moun-
tain News, and Daily Commonwealth : editors of

Commonwealth, Thomas Gibson.
Reuoiods DxiroMiNATioHS.— There are four
churches in Denver, — Methodist, Episcopal, Pres-

increase.
Miim Ain> MnnxQ.— The mines yielded, Ibr
the year 1868, about $12,000,000. The Territory
unquestionably possesses VHst mineral wealth.
Discoveries of gold were reported in 1858 as
depth. Qulch-mlnlng is still carried on <
sively, and wiUi good results. On th« w«
slope of the Snowy Mountains, ezteBsive sflveiw
mines have been discovered, and also gold in con-
siderable quantities. Deposits of leadand qiriek-
silver ores have also been Ibond in the Tenttaiy.
Near Denver City, at the base of the movntataa,
immense beds of coal l^ave been discovered of a
character analogous to the coal formatSons of
niinois. This discovery is hi^y important, sol
only as ftimishing a needed supply of ftael to the
Territory, which is scantily timbered, but also fer
the suppl V of the great Pacific Railway. Iron-ot*
is found in all parts of the Territory, and a ter-
nace is being erected at Boulder for the mann-
Ikcture of pig-iron.
Extracts from the Report of the Commission as
of the General Land Office, transmitted to Oos>
gress, December, 1868 :—■** Colorado Territatr, raat-
ing upon the head-waters of the Platta sad
Arkansas Rivers and the western slc^w of Urn
Rocky Mountains, is rich in mineral wealth, eoQ>
taining gold, silver, copper, iron, coal, salt, ala-
baster, Umeatone, and gnumau None hot gold
mines have bem worked to any extent: uaae
are proving rMunnerative both upon the placer
and quartz veins. The coal-fields will only ba
reeorted to when the suppl v ct wood for flDel in
the vidni^ of the mills and towns is ezhanated.
The copper and iron mines will not be worked
until labor shall be cheapened by a more abnn-
dant supply.
** Several hundred anarta-mllls are now in smo>
cessfol <^>eration in this Territory, and the ^ouh
tity of gold is increased from moatli to aMath by
the erection of new mills, opening of nciwljdis
coverpd veins, and the accession of miners In Om
placers. Tlie field for placer-mining H modi re-
stricted by the inadequate supply of water and
the extreme fineness of the particlea of g»M «
many localities.
** In the southwestern portion of the Tarrilory;
bordering ujion Utah and New Mexico, are exten-
sive deposits of both gold and silver yet an*
worked, but olfering to the enterprMng miner
as liberal a compemation as any other locality
which has been tested.
' There are large bodies of good agilcQltnral
lands in Colorado, the area of which nmy be in*
creased to the Adl extent that water ftr fail-
gating purposes can be obtained. At present
the cultivation of the soil is confined principally
to the vallejTS of the streams and a few fisvml

and well adi^>ted to agriculture and graiing,—
producing all the varieties of grains, fruits, and
Tegetables found in central Dlluois. The principal
settlements are Big Sioux Point, Elk Point, Bruley

lands (about 14,000,000 of acres), also the Santee
Sioux and Winnebago Indians (recently moved
from Minnesota), have extensive reservations on
the Missouri River and Niobrara, from 40 to 160
miles above Tankton, and have become doMertt*

of furs and peltries: and recent exploraUons ia>
dicate that the Black Hills,- about 300 miles vast
from Tankton, abound in gold, iron, and coal of
the finest quality. For a new Terntor}-, Dakota
has devoted considerable attention to public edn*

DiBOftimoM OF Idaho,— ITS Soil, Cumatk, Sit-
fLBMBVTS, MunuL Ic^Except among the reconls
of the Land Office at Washiugtoa, there is no
map that gives a good popular idea of the country
anbraoed within the new Territory of Idaho. The
portions of the Territory most generally settled
aod explored are embraced within that part
of the old Territory of Washington comprised
within the counties of Shoshone, Nez Perce, and
Idaho. Shoshone countv, or rather what is left
of it, lies north of the South Fork of the Clear
Water River, and embraces the original Nes
Fcroe mIntagHregfoB of Oro Fino and Pierce Ci^,
the latter plaee being the county seat and 600
xiilea distant from Olympia, the capital of Wash-
ington Territory. Nes Perce county comprises
a belt of land Iving south of the Clear Water
River, and extending from Snake River eastward
to the Bitter Root Mountains. A settlement,
called Elk City, in this county, is the centro of
the gold-mining district The countv seat is
Lewiston, at the head of navigation on the Snake
River. Nearly all the travel to the Salmon River
mines passes through Nex Perco county. Kansas
Prairie, another settled tract, iududus a fertile
agricultural expanse within the limits of this
county. Idaho county embraces a large breadth
oC land lying south of the dividing ri<l^e between
the Clear Water and Salmon Rivers. The greater
yortioa of ttds county abounds in aunfurous
wealth. The county scat is the town of Florence,
quite a flourishing settlement, containing from
8M)0 to 6000 inhabHants. It was, before the Ter-
ritory of Idaho was organized, the largest town
in Washington Territory. At the time when this
ts written (December, 186a), the Territorial capital
for Idaho Territory has not been named, but it
%rtU probably be located at Florence.
"" Idaho given to this county, —"
Territorial lines, is said to be an Indian word for
**a star;" but a more liberal interpretation of the
word and that which attaches to the popular ap-
prehension of it, is, **gem of the mountains."
The rich eold-flelds of Salmon River, already
so widely known, Ho within the limitu of this
county. The scenery along the Salmon River
in the vicinity of these mines is described
as grand and impressive. In some places the
stream flows along between perpendicular walls
of rock from 500 to 2000 feet In height. The
gold-mining regions of Idaho Territory are but
the prolongation to the northward of the mineral
regions of California and Nevada. Until within
the last three years, what is now Idalio was un-
inhabitod, except by Indian tribes. It owes its
present activity and npld progress of settlement
to the discovery of the gold-uuues in the British
Possessions north of its boundary. This discovery
drew from tlie gold-fields of California thousands
of adventurers, who in their search for new flelds
of wealth discovered the placers of eastern Ore-
gon and western Idaho. Since then the explonip
tion of this new region has been constantly and
rapidly pressed; flourishing settlements and
towns have sprung into eustence. roadi have
been opened, rivers navigated, mail-routes esta-
blished, and fkmHmprovements commenced ; and,
besides all this, the Territorv has attracted the
attention of the monetary and commercial world.
Of the receipts of treasure at San Francisco from
the 1st to the 11th of September, 1803, amounting
in all to $1,500,000, full half a million wos from
the new mines embraced within the Territory
under description. Qold has been discovered on
nearly all the tributaries and head-waters of the
Missouri and Yellow Stone Rivers, and still farther
north, reaching to and going beyond our national
boundary. Platina has been gathered in small
quantities from the streams by the Indians; and
some of the explorers are of the opinion that ex-
tensive deposits of this valuable metal will be
discovered. Copper and Iron exist in abundance,
and salt is plentiful in manv localities. Cual
also is found on the Upper Mbsouri and Yellow
Stone, and has been discovered upon the Padflc
slope of the Rocky Mountains. The higher
mountain-rangea of this region are bleak and
barren, but the lower hills are generally well
wooded, and the soil of the valleys productive.
The whole is watered by numerous streams and
springs, the former of which by their rapid flow

CQtlTe and Judiciary are paid from the National
Treasury; bnt the expenses of that part of the
goremment estabUshed by Territorial authority
are chargeable against the Territorial Treasury.
The latest reports on this suUect are to Novem-
ber, 1882. At that time the Treasurer reported
the gross receipts from February 17 to November
lat $3,548
Gross payments in the same time were». 2,571

sion of the local expenses of the Territory. The
warrants drawn to November 1, 1802, amounted
to $48,118, of which all but $7000 was payable in
JBtti, The means to meet the resulting $39,000
of iounediate liabilities were an assessed tax of
i-lOth of 1 per cent on the taxable property of
the Territory valued by the Auditor in 1882 at
$0,802,900. This tax was expected to yield $38,000,
leaving a deficit of $3000 to be provided for by
other means.

to the Governor of Nevada Territory, in whidi is
found the following general description ot the
mining-region of Nevada: —
It is an elevated semi-desert region; its snrlhos
a constant succession of longitudinal moontsto-
ranges, with inta*vening valleys and plalaa,ma8t
of which are independent basins, hemmed in by
mountains on all sides, and the whole sjstit
without drainage to the sea. The eeneral <
tion of these valleys is over 4500 feet above the
sea; and the mountains rise from 1000 to 4000
feet, and in some instances to 8000 feet, higher.
In the same report the principal mining-4ii»
tricts are described as follows : —
1st. The Virginia District, inclnding Tirginia
City and the eastern slope of Mount Daviuon,
Cedar HUl, and the upper part of Six Mile Oafloa.
2d. The Gold Hill DUtrict, south of Monat

The Ophir Mine is opened by shafts and tonnels

The following description of the cold and silver
aad other mineral resonroee of Nevada is ex-
tracted from a letter of the Commissioner of the
General Land Office, Washington, dated Deo. 22,
1802:—
The gold and silver mines there are found
■tretching from the Washoe, on the sonthweeteni
part of Nevada, across the Territory fh)m west to
•sat, and radiating in northerly and southerly
dlrectioni trom the great central discoverlos of
Washoe.
We have information of the deeply tunnelled
"Potoai,'* or Spanish Mine, with splendid gold
rock, partially decomposed, of a reddish hoe,
fjrom which rvde is fomishod to several mills en-
gaged partly In crashing, and in selling the same
as it comes from the mine; also the '' Central,"
and ** Ophir," all situated in Washoe county, some
twelTo or fourteen miles north of Carson City, in
the extreme western part of the Territory, ana in
aboat 39° 16' north hiUtude.
The principal clusters of gold and silver dis-
coTerka are in the counties of Washoe, Storey,
LTon, and Ormsby, encircling Carson, the capita]
of the Territory. Then, proceeding south some
thirty or forty miles from virelnia City and Odd
HiU, there has been discovered between the forks
Of Carson River what is known as the '* Silver
Moantain,** some ten miles of it having been
■takad on, on which, wherever the miners have
penetrated to anv depth in the hill, it Is reported
^ey have found ore which will rival any other
mining-district of the eiistem elope. Advancing
•till fkirther in a sontborly direction, on the west-
ern side of the Territory, the Esmeralda and Van
Horn mining^diiitricts are reached, the latter em-
bracing the ** Bullion Mill.** Then, returning to
the central discoveries aronnd Carson, and travel-
ling doe east across the Territory, 177 miles from
Carson, in almost th(^ extreme eastern part of the
Nevada, the *'Reeso River" mining district is
found, lying on both sides of the main stage and
immigrant road. Yot still &rther east than the
** Reese*" is the ** Simpson Park" district, abound-
ing in silver-ore.
Retnming, then, to the region about the geo-
Ciphical centre of the Territory, and around it
vo been established the Humboldt, Eldorado,
Scho, Sacramento, and several other mining-dis-
tricts.
It waa estimated In August, 1802, that there
were in the Territorv one hundred and forty mills
In operation, more than half of which yield large
amonnts weekly, crushing an average of eight
rdi per week, at a yield of $100 per cord.
BeaMea its resoarces in the precious metals and
in the osaful minerals, it has oxtensivo agrlcnl-
loral capacities scattered throughout the mineral
ranges. This glimpse at the wealth in precioos
metals of NovaSb, not (as hereinbefore indicated)
afforded from oiBclal data, may servo to fur-
nish some idea of Its general diffnsion over the
Territoi7,tbe cost of transporUtion to and from
the mines having been ettimated at $0,000,000 an-
noally.
This mineral region undoubtedly extends east-
ward into Utah, as it is known to do in a south-
westerly direction to the Colorado region of Call*
fomla.
The Nevada mining-region occoplee a position
of centralUy in connection with the Padfic and
the plains reaching to the Missiaslppi Valley, as it
does relativelv north and south, being abont the
middle part of that portion of the American Union.
The following extract ttom a letter to the Com-
missioner of the Land Office, dated Aurora, Esme-
ralda county, N.T., August 7, 1802. gives frirther
information respecting the mineral and other re-
soarces of Nevada : —
*' Uere we hare froqnent boulders of qnarti
lying upon the surface over the country, fh>m three

silver, many tons of them having been worked to
profit for the miners. In no other country is
silver rock found upon the surlhce, so far as I am
informed. We have here obsidian, a spedee of
coarse glass, fonnd on the surface; in other sec-
tions a boulder, resembling lava, which when
broken is hollow, the inside coated with beau-
tiful colors, white, blue, Ac. It resembles a fine
agate; lean give it no name. We have bltumlnona
coal; beautiful, clear, white salt. Tlie soil con-
tains much alkali; ground extremely dry and
barren; country covered with wild-sage bushesj
trom two to four feet high. Cedar, pine, and wild
mahogany trees are our wood ; they grow slow and
very scrubby. In the mountains we have timber
for lumber, Ac. In the rivers we have tront and
other fish. We have also cinnabar and alum in
this district,"
The following extract ftt>m a letter of Orion
Clemens, Esq., Territorial Secretary, to the Com-
missioner of the Land Office, dated Carson City,
Nevada Territory, Nov. 7, 1802, gives an interest-
ing description of the ** Mexican" or ^Spanish**
Mine.
** Having been called by bosinees to Virginia
City about two weeks ago. I took the opportunity
of visiting the * Mexican^ or. as it is freouently
called, the * Spanish* Mine. We went In tbi-ouA
a tunnel 2M) feet; then descended by a single flight
of spiral steps, 92 feet; then down other steps till
we attained a depth of 170 feet below the surfisoe,
passing close to and in sif^t of the Ophir timbers.
" The timberinff in these mines is a ax>nder. In
the process a shaft is sunk, and the timbers put in
as the quartz is removed, working laterally and
upwards. To go deeper another shaft is sunk, and
timbers built up till they connect with the formw
timbers. In this way the Comstock Ledge is
opened and timbered 37& feet or more of Ita
length,— viz.: the 'Central,' lying south of tha
♦ Ophir,' 26 feet; aU that part of the * Ophir' lying
south of the Mexican, 200 feet; the * Mexican' at
the depth of 170 feet, ita entire length of 100 feet;
and 60 feet of that part of the Ophir lying north
of the Mexican. In the Mexican Bfine the quarts
will be taken out and timben carried up to within
30 feet of the surface. In one portfon the timben
are now np 50 feet. These timbers are Hi to
124 inches square, and 0 fioet 6 inches long. Each
stick costs $0, and the carpenter's work $1.60 to
$2. In some places the enormoos preasnre has
caused them to slightly crack and cat into each
other. At the depth of 170 feet the ledge is 4$
feet wide. Two stations extended across the mine
and to the height of 60 foot, being three rowi

each aide of the ledge it substantially done, and a
costly part of the timbering. In sereral places we
saw the peculiar timbers left by Uie Ifezicans
when they worked the mine in 1850.
*'£oon after entering the tunnel we were
obliged to take li^ts. At the end of the tunnel
we found a number of drifts running off in Tarious
directions. We wore obliged presently to step
over near a deep shaft to get out of the way of a
horse being broughtin to work a 'whim,' or
hoisting^pparatus. While the horse was passing,
the hand-car came thundering al<Mig on the iron
rails in the tunnel, and shot past us into the
l^oom of one of the drifts. WiUiout stopping to
explore the drifts to any great extent, we de>
soonded the spiral steps. Here the huge timbers
rose abOTe us into confosed indistinctaess, and
aztoMled below and on all rides of us. In wan-
dering throQ^ the mine, the sensations are pecu-
liar, produced by this Tast Ihune-woik of timbers
underground, and the rumblings occasionally
startling the ear. from invisible places in the
darkness, caused by pouring quarts down a plank
inoUne into a heap on a pluk flow, to be hoisted
thence, and by emptving it into the car throng a
kind of hopper; and then on the bottom of the
mine, and on floors laid at rarious elevations
among the timbers, workmen were here and there
risible with th«ir lights, appearing and disap-
pearing as we or they changed podtion. There
were a number of shafts whose mysterious depths
the ere could not penetrate.
** The richest rock is found in * pockets' (small
depositsX or in Teins from an inch to sereral
inches in width. In some places the pay rock is
thus so concentrated that the a4}oining quarts for
a considerable space is waste rock."

Mineral Wealth amd Mimira nc Nxw BIkzico. —
In hia official Report, made to the Secretary of
the Interior in December. 1863, the Commissioner
of the Land Office giTee the following information
concerning the development of the mines of pre-
cious metals in this Territory:—
'* New Mexico, occupying the same latitude and
elevation of Arisona, and traversed by similar, and
in some parts by the same, mountain-ranges, is
Icnown to contain like mineral depoelta, and in
the western part they will probably be of equal
value and extent Relating to this section, a
report, under date of 24th September, 1863, has
Just been received from the Surveyor-Oeneral at
Shnta Fe, indicating in outline a reconnoissance
made by that officer of the newly-discovered gold
filAco» upon the tributaries of the Colorado
iVer.
" On the 9th of July the Surveyor^leneral left
Fort Craig, returning up the Rio Grande to Los
Lunas, and proceeded thence, by way of Fort
Wingate and Tuni, to the Sau Ftaucisco Moun-
tain, over tlio Beale or Whipple road, which he
intersected about forty miles west of Albuquerque.
From the Snn Francisco Moimtain he proceeded a
southwesterly course, and reached the mines on
the 19th August. lie remained there until the
31at of the enmc month, visiting the different
mining-localities, extending IVom his camp in a
southweeterly din'Ction about forty miles, and to
the east about ten miles. He reports this new
gold-fleld as situated on the Haitiampa Creek or
River, Indian and Antelupo Creeks (lUUueuts of
the Hasiampa), and Lynx Creek, a branch of the
Agua Frio River, — all of them streams heretofore
unknown to geo^raphen*.
'*He found meu at work mining at different
points on the Haiiiampa, from near its source, ten
or twelve miles down the stream, but did not get
firom them the actual rcnults of their labor. He
was informed by Hcvoral that on nearly ovenr
claim vsirh^ to the bed-rock gold was found.
Many claims on this creek were abandoned for the
time -being for more prominent diggings else-
wliere. Frum the best information he could ob-
tain, thoBe who remained and worked diligently
were making ftdr miner's wages. About fifty
men, citizens of the United Staten, were at work
on this part uf the (ttream. On Lynx Creek there
w«}re about fifty men, alMO citizens, at work; and
he was informed by Mr. Qeorge Coulter that ho
had taken from his claim between six and seven
hundred dollars, — had worked to the bod-rock
over a space of twelve by twenty feet. Mr. H. H.
Cummings, on the claim below and adjoining, had
taken out four hundred dollars with much less
labor. Mr. Frank Finney, from the claim six
hundred yards above, on 'the day the Surveyor-
Oeneral was at the diggings, washed out three
and a half ounces. Many were opening their
rl.inis; some had no water, and, of course, were
obtaining no gold; but he saw no one who had
worked a claim down to the bed-rock, and had
uater, who wa<« not obtaining gold in remunera-
tive qonntitiefl. ^Vhen Mr. Clark was at the
tnJnes, there was no water running in either the
Ijrnx or Tlasiampa Creeks; but on most of the
clidms,when miners reached the bed-rock, a little
water accumulated, which enabled the miner* to
wmsh a few puns of dirt each day.
**0n Indian and Antelope Creaks ha mm mnaq
persons engaged in dry-wuhingy as it is GaDe^
thwe being no water. Most of tiie ntnen o«
these streams are Mexicans bom Sonora. Isir
wages were generally reported.
^ Between the Antelope and Indian Credcs, on
the summit of a mountain two or three thounad
feet above the vall^, there is a placer of bosk
extraordinary richness. The placer Is sItnataA
upon the very summit of the mountain, betwesa
two rocky peaks. Here there is a space neariy
level, descending sUghtlv towards the west, aboot
one himdred yards in vddth by three hundred ia
length. Through this a quarti ledge crops oat
running in a southweeterly direction. Tlie soHd
rock on either side of this tedge ia covered to tks
depth of a few inchea only with a reddish saith,
and here Bfr. Clark was informed bj Mr. Jack
Swilling, one of the six owners, that they had
taken out twenty thousand dollars within a Um
weeks. There being so little earth npan the
rocks, and no water within three ndlee, and the
gold being all coarse, thev found it the cheapest
way to separate the gold from the earth by work-
ing with common bntcher-knlvea, and the larcest
part of the gold was collected in that vray, and by
dry-washing. Mr. Clark has sent to this oAos
some specimens from this placer. The largest
piece found on this mountain weired a little less
than seven ounces. All of the gold shown hiai
in this new field was what is termed *ooarffs
gold/ and very pure.
**The opinion expressed by Mr. Clark, in Us
letter to tids office of 25th May, 1863, oonocmiag
the mineral wealth of New Mexico and Ariaoas,
has been greatly strengtheQed by his visit ta
these now discoveries, llie minera whom he laet
were almoat all anxious to move east to the Ssa
Francisco and Salt Rivera, where, they say, then
is abundance of water at all seasons of the yesr,
wide valleys of fertile land, good timbea-, and,
they believe, gold, silver, and copper In much
greater abundance than where th«y are at pre>
sent It was necessary, however, for them to
wait until they could muster a much larger Cnce
to contend, with the Coyotro ApachM, who are
numerous and hostile.
^ The monntains throughout this new miaio^
district are everywhere intersected with quarti
ledges, and it is believed that many of them an
rich in gold and silver, but no assays had beea
made, and their value vras unknown. On the
upper portion of the Hasiampa, and on tlis
branches of the Agua Frio, there is excellent
pine timber, but none on the Lower Hasiaaiiia,
nor on Indian or Antelope Greeks.
" When the Surveyoi -General was at the adasi,
there was no running water in any of the streaaai,
but in all of them enough for drinking purposo,
and in some there was sufficient for vrashiBg a
portion of the time with pan or rocker. He «M
informed that in June last there was water roa*
ning in the Hasiampa and Lynx Creeks, eoougli
for sluicing, and the mlnen beliered, flAxn inJor*
mation received from the Indians, that then
would be water from the melting of the snows ia
the mountains adequate for running alulces thrss
or four months in the year. There was floe grss>
Ing over the whole coun^ traversed from San
Francisco Mountain to within twenty mOes of ths
western limits of the nines, with abandaaee of
water for stock, and but very little land suscepti-
ble of cultivation, on accotmt of the ahaeace ol
permanent nmning water for irrigalioa.
1864.] UTAH.
<*It was estimated that on the Ist Instant there
were in the 'Weaver District' (which includes
iintelope and Indian Creeks and the lower dig-
gings on the Hasiampa) one thotisand persons, of
whom more Uian eikht hundred are Mexk^ns
from Sonora, and sybont one hundred in the
* Walker District.' embracing the Upper Hasi-
ampa and Ljnx (A«ek. Much iU feeling existed
between the Mexicans and our citizens, and the
Banreyor-Oeneral fears they may have serious
dUBculty unless a military force is stationed there
45T
to preeerre order. The Indians snrronnding the
mines (the Tonto Apaches) were Mendly at the
time of his visit, but it was apprehended they
would not remain so. There are no civil ofltcera
there. The people have no restraining power over
them,— each is a law unto himself,— and the con-
sequence must be disorder and anarchy, until
civil government shall be organized, or govern-
ment shall send there a military force sufficient
to keep the vidoas and turbulent in Buhleo>
tion."

Although Utah lies in, and is surrounded br, the
rich gold and silrer producing districts now being
dereloped within the territory of the United
States, it haa br the pocuHarites of Its Inhabit-
ants become rather an agricultural than a mining
Territory. The people of Utah are strongly pre-
judiced against any morements or enterprises
which, According to their notions, conflict with
their pastoral and patriarchal institutions ; hence
the mineral riches of Utah hare not yet been de-
reloped to an extent corresponding with the
actirlty nrerailing in all the surroundinff Terri-
tories. Much of the land of the Territory Is
mountainous and barren, but it is dotted through-
out most of its extent by fertile ralleys and
grasing-grounds which are sufficient for the sup-
port of a rery large population. The Territory Is
trarersed firom the northeast to the southwest by
a high and rugged spur of the Rocky Mountains,
commonly known as the Wasatch Range; and it
Is at the western base of these mountains that the
Mormon settlers hare located their fiuuous Great
Salt Lake City. Stretching away to the southward
of this lake there is a range of ralle3rs for two
hundred miles, in which such fruits as peaches,
apples, p<>ars, plums, apricots, Ac, are cultiratod
with success, along with the grains and other
agricultural products of the temperate sone.
The upper tributaries of the Colorado Rirer, ric,
the Green and Grand Rirere, constitute the prin-
cipal streams of the Ton-itory of Utah. The great
«sogn4>hical features of the Territory ar« altema-
Qons of «MHmtain and desert Although manji

grand and picturesque scenery. It is situated
to the eastward of Great Salt Lake and Utah
counties. It is traversed by the Prove River,
which runs throu^ a wild and rugged yet mag-
nificent caflon or gorge, a distance of 16 miles.
Cascade Creek, which empties into this gorge, fidls
over the precipice from a height of one thousand

When General Bomside rellered General
HcClellan from hia eommand, on the 7th of No-
Tember, 1802, the army of the Potomac was on
the south side of the Potomac, under instruc-
tions to pursue Lee, by a flank march on the In-
terior line, to Richmond, huj^glng closely to the
Blue Ridge, so as to obeerre ItN passes and to Rive
battle to the enemy whenever an opportunity oc>
enrred. On reaching Warrenton, however, Gen-
eral Bumside proposed to give up this chase of
Lee's army towards Richmond and to move down
the north hide of the Rappahannock to Falmouth,
and establish a new base of supplies at Aqoia
Creek or Belle Plain.
General Burnslde did not commence his move-
nent from Warrvnton till the 16tb, and then
marched his whole army down on the north bank of
the Rappahannock, his sdvanoe reaching Falmouth
on the 20th.

Lee*s armv, In the mean time, moved down
the sooth side of the river, but had not ooeopied
Fredericksburg on the 21st. Mo attempt was
made to effset the passage till the 11th of De-
oambar, by which time Lee's army had been
ooneentratad and strongly entrenched. The pass-
age, however, waa effected without serious opposi-
tion, by the right wing and centre, under Sumner
and Hooker, at Fredericksburg, and the left wing,
under Franklin, on bridges established some miles
below. It waa intended that Franklin's grand dl-
Tision, consisting of the corps of Reynolds and
Smith, should attack the enemy s right, and torn
bis position on the heighto in rear of Fredericks-
burg, while Sumner and Hooker attadted him in
front. But, by some alleged misunderstanding
of orders, Franklin's operations were limited to a
mere reeonnoissaaee, and the direct attadcs of
Bnmner and Hooker were unsupported. The con-
test on the right wing during the 18th was ccm-
tinacd till baIF>piist five P.M., when our men were
Ibreed to CUl back, after suffering terrible losses.
Both armies remained In position till the night of
the 16th, when General Bumside withdrew bis

In the early part of June, Lee*s army moved wo

lowed on an interior line by WarrenUm Junction,

to Harper's Ferry. But theee orders werv not

On the aoth of June, the lit, 8d, and 11th corpa
weraoonoentrated at EmmetUbnrg, under General
Beynoldfl, while the rijcht wing mored up to Man-
eheater. Buford reported the enemy in force on
the Caahtown road, near Oettycborg, and Reynoldi
DOTcd up to that place on the Igt of July. He
t)uod our caralry warmly engagni with the en-
amy. and holding him in check on the Cashtown
road. Keynolda Immediately deployed the ad-
vanced divialon of the 1st corpa, and ordered the
11th corpa to more promptly to itii support. Wede-
worth?« dlvirion had driven back the enemy come
distance, and captured a large number of prisoner*,
Jjjiaa General Kevnolds fell, mortally wounded.
The arrival of Kwell's corps, about this Ume, by the
York and Harrisburg roads, compelled General
Howard, upon whom the command devolvt^, to
withdraw his ibrop, the 1st and 1 1th corps, to thecem.
atrty ridge, on the south side of Gettysburg. About
T P.M. Generals Sickles and Slocum arrived on the
fleld with the 8d and 12th corps, which took posi-
tion, one on the left and the other on the right of
the new line. The battle for the day, however,
was over. General Heade arrived on the field
during the night with the reserves, and posted his
txoops in line of batUe : the 1st corps on the right ;
the nth eorps next; then the 12th corps, which
aroased the Baltimore pike; the 2d and 8d corps
on the cemetery ridge, on the left of the 11th corps.
The 6th corps, pending the arrival of the
«h. formed the reserve. On the arrival of the
latter, about 2 o'clock P.M., it took the place of the
6th, which was ordered to take position on the ex-
treme left The enemy massed his troops on an
azterior ridge, about a mile and a half in fh)nt of
that ocenpied by us. General Sickles, midnter-
proting hto orders, instead of placing the 8d oorpji
on the prolongation of the 2d, had moved it nearly
three-fourths of a mile in advance-an error which
Hearty proved &U1 in the battle, llie enemy at-
tacked this corps on the 2d with great fhry, and
ft was likely to be utterly annihilated, when the
6th eorpe moved on the left, and enabled it to re-
form behind the line it was originally ordered to
hold. The 6th corps and a part of the 1st were
also opportunely thrown into this gap, and suc-
eeeded in checking the enemy's advance. About
aunaet the rebela retired in conftision and disor-
der. At 8 P.M. ail assault was made from the left
of the town, which waa gallantly repelled by the
i«t2d, and 11th corps.
On the morning of the 8d we regained, after a
•pirited contest, a part of our line on the right,
which had been yielded to sustain other points on
the 2d. About 1 P.M. the enemy opened an artil-
lery fire of 12ft guns on our centre and left. This
was followed by an assault of a heavy In&ntxy
eolnmn on our left and left centre, which was suo-
«^fully repulsed, with terrible loss to the enemy.
This termioat«d the battle, and the rebels retired
defeated from the field.

and they handled their troops on the field wlUi

longs the honor of a well earned victory in one of
thegreatest and best fought battles of the war.
On the morning of the 4th the enemy sppar-
enUy occupied a new line in firont of our left, hut
In reality his army had commenced it* retreat,
«rrylng off a part of his wounded. His lines,
however, were not entirely evscunted till the
morning of the 6th, when the cavalry and 6th
corps were sent in pursuit. The days of the 5th
and 6th were employed by General Meade In i»nc-
coring the wounded and burying the dead left on
the battle-field. He then started in pursuit of
Ijee, by a flank movement upon M!ddletown. In
the mMn time General French had n-occupied Har-
'Tt?..^?"'^' <***troyed the enemy's pontoon train
at y, illiarosport and Falling Waters, and captured
Its guards.
Hairing a day at Middletown, General Meade
creased the South Mountain, and, on the 12th,
found the enemy occupying a strong position on
the heights of Marsh Run, in front of Williamsport.
Not being attacked in this po!«iUon, Lee con-
structed a pontoon bridge with lumber collected
nt)m canal boats and the ruins of wooden houses,
and on the morning of the 14th bis army had
crossed to the south side of the river. His rear
guard waa attacked by our cavalry, and suffered
eonsklerable loss.
Thus ended the rebel campaign north of the
Potomac, from which important political and mili-
tary results had been expected.
Our own loss in this campaign had been verr
■avere, via.: 2884 killed, 13j70» wounded, and 6648
Biasin^in all 28,186. We captured three guna,
41 standards, 13,621 prisoners, 28,178 small arms!
The entire loss of the enemy Is not known, but
Judging from the numbers of his dead and wounded
left on the field, it must hare been much greater
than ours.

After crossing the Pntomao, Lee eonthiued bk
retreat up the valley of the Shenandoah and
through the gaps of the Bine Ridge tiU he reached
the aooth bank of the Rapldan, near Orange

dispute the croasiog of the river. General Mead e
oonUnned his fiank pursuit by Harper's Ferry,

Oourt-Houaa, where he halted his amy, not
deeming It prudent to oroas the river and attaA
the enemy, who was now eotranehed on the south

several cavalry skirmishes took place, but with-

his disminished numbers he assumed (Oct 8) a

DEPARTMCnV OF VlItOIIflA AND VORTO OABOtDTA.
In December, 1862, General Foster marched
against Einston, and on the 14th, defeated the
enemy, and captured that place. He then moved
«p the south side of the Neuse river to Golds-
boro*, burned the railroad bridge at that place,
and tore up much of the railroad between the
river and Mount Olive. He captured 496 pris-
oners, and nine pieces of artillery. His loss was
00 killed, 478 wounded, and nine missing.
In March, 1863, the rebel General Pettigrew,witb
a large force of iiifontry and artillery. mAle demon>
stratioDS on Newborn, but was forced to abandon
the attempt upon that place. General Foster's
loss was only two killed and four wounded.
In April, General Hill laid siege to Washington,
on Tar river. The place had only a small garrison,
md was but sUghUy fortified. Genexal Foster,

reinforcements arrived from Newbem to taii* the

An expedition sent against a rebd camp at Oam

and military stores, and another In July agaiori
Bocky Mount, on Tar river, which destroyed Ihs
bridge at that place, and a large amount of rebd
property, terminate the military operatloDS h
that SUte to October, 1863.
On being compelled to abandon bis attempt
npon Washington, the rebel General Hill mardwd
toward the Nansemond. to reinforce Long»trMU
who was inresting Suffolk. Failing in his dirvrt
assaults upon this place, the enemy proceeded
to establish batteries for its redaction. Genenl
Peck made erery preparation for defence oT mUt^
the place was capable, and by rigorous and veO-
timed sorties, kept the enemy at a dL<tanc^ sni
retarded the construction of bis works, tiU,
finally, the attempt was abandoned. Our hMS ia
these operations was 44 killed, 202 wounded, aid
14 missing. We captured 400 prisoners and Ivt
guns during the siege.
As Suffolk poeseraed no advantage as a nflt
tary post, and was not susceptible of a good d»>
fence, the garrison was afterwards vrithdraim
within the new lines constructed around Norfolf.
On the 6th of October, Brigadier^Teneral Wis-
tar was sent, with a small fotre, aided by guo*
boats, to Mathew County, Ya., to break up a rM
party known as the ** Confederate Volootetr

oommand and avail himself of the most import-
ant passes, the front of his movement extended
fh>m the head of Seqnatchie valley, in East Ten-
nessee, to Athens, Alabama, thus threatening the
line of the Tennessee River from Whitesburjr to
Blythe^s Ferry, a distance of over 150 miles.
The Tennessee River was reached on the 90th
of Angost, and Chattanooga shelled frxmi the
north bank on tho 21st. Pontoon, boat, raft, and
trestle bridges w«re rapidly prepared at Oap«r>
ton's Fwry, Bridgeport, month of Battle Creek,
and Shellmoont, and the army, except cavalry,
■afely croased tha Tennessee In fhoe of the

vanced to Valley Head and taken WinstMi's Qap,
while Crittenden had crossed to Waahatchie ~
Bunicating on the right with Thomas, and tl

CkickafMuga^ 8epL 19, 1863.
The battle of Chickamauga commenced on the
morning of the 19th, McCook's corps forming the
right of our line of battle, Crittenden's the centre,
and Thomas's the l^t The enemy first attacked
our left with heavy masses, endeavoring to turn
It so ss to occupy the road to Chattanooga, but
all their efforts proved aUnrtiTe. The centre was
next assailed, and temporarily driven back, but,
being promptly reinforced, maintained its ground.
As ^ght approached, the battle ceased, and the
oombtttants rested on their arms.
The attack was forionsly renewed on the morn-
ing of the 20th. aoainst our left and centre.
Division after division was pushed forward to
resist the attacking masses of the enemy, when,
according to General Rosecrans's report. General
Wood, overlooking the direction to '^close up" on
Reynolds, supposed he was to support him by
withdrawing from the line and passing in the rear
Of GenenU Brannan.
" By this nnfortnnato mistake a giq> was opened
in the line of battle, of which the enemy took in-
stant advantage, ana, striking Davis in flank and
rear, threw bis whole division Into concision.'*
General Wood claims that the orders he received
were of such a character as to leave him no
option but to obey them in the manner he did.
Pouring in through this break In our line, the
anemy cut off our right and ri^t centre, and a^
tacked Sheridan's division, which was advancing
to the support of our left. After gallant biU
(1881
fkultlesB efforts against this rsDel torrent, he wm
oomnelled to give wi^, but afterwards rallied «
oonrtderable portion of his force, and, by a eb«>
cuitons route, Joined GenenU Thomas, who now
had to breast the tide of battle, against the wb(^
rebel army. Our right and part of the centre hsd
been completely broken, and fled in confiisioo from
the field, carrying with them towards Chattanoo^i
their commaudors, Generals UcCook and Crttte»
don, and also General Rosecrans, who was on thai
part of the line. His chief of staff, Goneral G•^
field, however, made his way to the left and joiacd
General Thonuis, who still remained immovable ta
Uon. His line had 1
his position,
form, with its flanks supported by the tower span
of the mountain, and here, like a Uon at bay, hs
repulsed the torible onsets of tha enemy. Abost
halfpast three P Jf n the enemy discovered a m to
the hills in the rear of his right flank, and Loof*
street commenced pouring his massive colasm
through the opening. At this critical
M^>oMlensna Oordan Granger, who bad bc«i
posted with his reserves to cover oar left and ntr,
arrived upon the field. He knew nothing of the
condition of the battte, but, with the true i>-
stincts of a soldier, he bad marched to the sovsA
of the cannon. General Thomas merdy pointsA
out to him the gap through which the «iemy «tt
debouching, when, imick as thougbt. he tbiewipsa
it Steadman's brigade of cavalry. In the weris sf
General Rosecrans*s official report, ** Swift was As
charoe and terrible the conflict, but the eM«y
was broken. A thousand of our brave mm, kfiM
and wounded, paid fbr Its possession, bat we hsM
the gap. Two divisions of Longrtroefs eocM
confronted the position. Determined to taksl^
they successively came to the assault. Afaatteiy
of six guns, placed in the gorge, poorai dnfh
and slaughter into them. They charged to wttUa
a fiBw yards of the pieces, but oar grape and em*
Ister, and the leaden hail of oar muiMry; d^
llvered in qwring but terrible volleys from es^
tridges taken, in many instances, fhwi tiie boms
of their fidten companions, was too much even tir
Longstreef s men. About sunset they mads ttafr
last charge, when our men, being out of wmmuk'
tion, rushed on them with baycuwt, and thsygavs
wi^, to return no more."
In the mean time the enemy made remaSsds^
tempts to carry General Thomas's posltten oa te
left and fh>nt, but were as often driven back wift
great loss. At nichtfiOl the enemy fell baek l»
yond the range of our artillery, leaving Thotttf
victorious on his hard-fou^t field.
As most of the corps of MoOook and GHMm-
den had retreated to Chattanooga, It wm Inmti
advisable also to withdraw the left wing to tfcst
place. Thomas consequently fell bade dariat
the night to Rossville, leaving the dead and wai
of the wounded in the bands of the snsmy. Ht
here received a supply of ammunition, and dviag
all the 21st oflered baUIe to the enemy, but thi
attack was not seriously renewed. On Um aig^

Battle and Vktory of Chattanooga,
Ctoneral Sherman's army moved up the north
side of the Tennessee River, and during the night
of the 23d and 2ith of November established
pontoon bridges and crossed to the south side be-
tween (^tico Creek and theChickamaugm. On the
afternoon of the 23d, General Thomas^ Ibrces at-
tacked the enemy's rifle-pits betw
and atico Creek. The battle vtm
9tth along the whole line; Sherman eairied the
eastern end of Missionary Ridge up to the tunnel,
and Thomas repelled every attempt of the enemy
to regain the position which be had lost at the
centre, while Hooker's forco in Lookout Valley
crossed the mountain and drove the enemy from
its northern slope.
On the 25th, the whole of Missionary Ridge
fh>m RossvUle to the Chickamauga vras. after a
desperate struggle, most gallantlv oarrieu by omt
troops, and the enemy oompletefy routed. Con-
sidering the strength of the rebel position and
the diiBculty of storming his intrenohmsnts, the
battle of Cbattanoosa must be mgarded asoneof
the most rsmarkaue in history. Not only did
the officers and men exhibit great skfll and
daring in their operations on the ield, but tha
highest praise is also due to the commanding
general for his admirable dispositions for didodg-
nig the enemy from a position apparently imprey"
nable. Moreover, by turning bis ricfat flank and
throwing him back upon Ringgold and Dalton,
Sherman's forces were interpoMO between Bragg
and Longstreet, so as to prevent any possiWIity
of their forming a Junction.
Our loss in killed, wounded, and missing, Is r^
ported at about 4000. We captured over 600t

** To the Mayor of Bt^alo :
'* The British Bfinister, Lord Lyons, has to-night
officially notified the Government that, from tele-
graphic information received from the Governor-
General of Canada, there is reason to believe that
there is a plot on foot by persons who have found
an asylum in Canada to invade the United States,
and destroy the city of Buffalo ; that they propose
to take possession of some of the steamboats on
Lake Erie, to surprise Johnson's Island, set free
the prisoners of war confined there, and proceed
with them to BufliEilo. This Government will em-
ploy all means in its power to suppress any hostile
attack frt>m Canada; but, as other towns and
cities on the shores of the lakes are exposed to
the same dangers, it is deemed proper to com-
municate this information to you, in order that
any precautions which the circumstances of the
case will permit may be taken.
*'TheGovemopGeneraI suggests that the steam-
boats or other vessels giving cause for suspicion
by the number or character of the persons on
board shall be arrested. You will please acknow-
ledge receipt of this telegram, and communicate
to this Department anv information you may now
or hereafter have on this subject

POPULATION OF THE UNITED STATES AS APFEOTED BT DOaaKATIOI.
Ton moft interesting topic hiu nerer recetvod
the deep study which it deserves, and has never
been rally developed bv our statisticians. Sonic
Sears ago, when the political parties of the United
tates were strongly exercised on the subject of a
proposed restriction of the elective franchise ex-
tended by our laws to immigrants, an inaniry into
the extent of the increase of our population by
immigration was made by Mr. Louis Schade, a
gentleman of n^athematical talents, then resident
in Washington. The results of his calculations
were surpitring, for until they appeared very few
persons had even a remote conception of the ex-
tent to which the rapid increase of our population
was influenced by immigration. Upon the basis
of the calculaUons referred to, we have constructed
the subjoined tables, which present in one view
what ¥>ould have been the white and free colored
population of the United States if it had been left
to the slow increase produced by the excess of
births over deaths. In other words, these tables
show by mathematical demonstration M'hat would
have been the white and free colored population
of the United States in 1863, if our ports had been
closed against immigration in 1790; they show
what that population would have been if the in-
flux of imml|;rant8 had been shut off in 1800;
and the same, If that policy had been adopted is
1810 or 1820. The basis of calcuUtion is the fol-
lowing : if there had been no immigrmtioii to tke
United States after the adoption of the Constits-
tion, then the increase of our popnlataoo woaU
only have been so much as resulted from the ex-
cess of births over deaths. This increase is iouai
by calculation to be 1.38 per annum. Taking thru
the white and free colored population of 17M,&d4
multiplying it by tliis ascertained percental of
natural Increase, and so multiplying and com-
pounding the results year by year down to ISO,
we find what would have been that popolatlan In
the last year by such natuml Increase alone. Bj
this process it is shown tliat the white and fres
colored population of the United States woeM
have reached but 8,780,0€0, instead of the nugestic
aggregate of 29,902,174 at the cloae of lS63w So
widely dilTerent is this result fix>m any existifig
opinion or notion of the sul^ect in the popnlsr
mind, that it may be describwl as startling. let
the figures appear to be unimpeocliAble. Tbs
rate of annual natural increase aascnirtl (I^)li
higher tlutn that of anv other country for wbid)
we have sufficient official data for calcnladoa.
To show how it compares with that of other ns-
tiona, the following table is presented:—

From the foregoing table It will be perceived
that the percentage of 1.38 allowed for the na-
tural increase of the population of the United
States, from the mere excess of births over deaths,
is considerably greater than that of Great Britain,
the next highest, and very far greater than that
of anv other country named. This difTerence in
our favor is, beyond question, due to the long
periods of peace ei\|oyed by the United States when
other nations were at war. The percentage of
France, it will be observed, is the lowest in the
table, a result flowing fh>m her almost constant
wars, which drain her population of large num-
bers of her marriageable young men.
Referring now to the table on the next paga, snd
subtracting the totals of the rentectivo ootnaas
from 20,002,174, the aggregate of our white tad
free colored population in 1808, ve find tbs U*
lowing remarlULDlo results >—
In 1808, the immigrants since 1700;
and their descendants, number....... 21,1U(fl)f
In 1808, the immigrants sinoe 1800,
and their descendants, number 19,4IMW
In 1803, the imniifirants since 1810,
and their doscejidaiits, number. VfJOHfiH
In 1803, the immigrants since 1820,
and their descendants, number 16,800^M
* 1850 is taken for the United States, because the nombsr of births fi>r 1800 are not yet pnbliiM;
and the free colored are taken with the whites, because they axe placed together in the taUes ot
births and deaths in the census. The slave population is onutted Irom the tablea. becaose It is >ot
affected by immlgraUon.
tThe Census for Great Britain for 1801 shows the Increase ttom excess of births over deatto Jbr ihs
pnnrlons ten years to be 12A which It oonsidenMy lew than 1.26 per annum.

Dming the first period (prior to the commence-
ment of the ChriHtian era), the annual product of
Che precious metalt wu about two millions of
dollan; daring the second period (from the com-
mencement of the Christian era to the discovery
of America), it was three millions of dollars;
during the third period (three hundred and fifty
years,— to the disco%'ery of the Russian mines), it
attained to twenty-five millions of dollars ; during
the decade immediately succeeding the discovery
of the Russian mines (Arom 1843 to 1862), it was
one hundred millions of dollan per annum;
during the decade immediately succeeding the
double discoverv of the California and Australia
mines (lW>m 1863 to 1862), it was two hundred
and fifty-five millions of dollars; but, owing to
the falling off of the latter sources of supply, the
annual product has diminished to two hundred
and forty millions of dollars, notwithstanding the
increased supply from New Zealand and other
sources. The increase in the amount of the pre*
cious metals in existence has been greater daring
the last fifteen years tlian daring the previooa
seventy-five.
THE HEW GOLD-MnriHO BEOIOKS.
Sdtox the grand impolse given to gold-mining
by the discoveries and workings in California
and Anatraiia, new gold-fields have been brought
to light, in rapid succession, in various parts of
the world. It is not difficult to give some ac-
ooant of them, provided we be excused from set-
ting down in figurtis how much they are yielding
or likely to yield, — on which subject estimates,
made with as much care as the subject admits
•f^ are presented in the preceding article.
In the United States, tre have first the mines
. In the Rocky Mountains, within the Territory of
Colorado, — say two thoui«and railed, by tlieshortcet
line of travel, du3 woat from Philadelphia. Ail
native gold is more ur less mixed with silver; but
this is characteristically pale, — the flnonotts of
^Id varying generally from 700 to 850 thou-
iandthfl. Still, it is found in sufficient quantity
and richness to build up towns rapidly, to carry
aome of the refinomouts of civilization acroiw the
plalnfl, to draw a larzo population, partly udvcu-
turous, but chiefly inuujttrioas, and to enrich largo
operators aud claim-holdur<i.
Borne hundreds of miles west and northwest of
this locality, we find the biuy miners and proii-
pectors of Idaho Territory. Tills Territory, whitli
was organix<Hl in March, 1863, takes in the
norttiem ranges of the Rocky Mountains, with
Um head-wnters of the Missouri, Columbia, Yellow
Stone, and North Platte Rivers. The gold from
tiMt region is of high fineness, particularly from
the mines on Salmon River, a tributary of the
Oolumbta.
Of the Nevada mining-region, where there Is
both eilver and gold in great abundance, there is
yet known too little to speak definitely. The
roa8.ai
them sell at very high prices In the stock-market
of San Francisco. A branch-mint is about to
be located in this new Territory. Like Colorado,
it is eminently a mineral, not an agricultara!,
region.
After Nevada Territory, the State of Oregon
claims attention. The gold from this State is of
about the same fineness as that irom the mines of
Culifoniia ; and the production has been rapidly
increasing during the last two years.
In the Territories of Arizona and Washington,
there are altso valuable deposits of the precioui
metals; but the mines have not been developed
to tlie same extent as in the other regions men-
tioued.
The production of gold In the United States haa
been materially retarded by the disturbing eventa
of the last three years. When our national
troubles shall have been settled, aod peace onc«
more prevails, an extraordinary stimulus will b«
piven to the development of the mineral resonrcet
of the country. We may then confidently expect
an unprecedented production of the precious
metals, and the commencement of a new era In
the settlement and progress of the Territories.
There are some promising openings in Canadiu
south of Quebec, and approaching the line ok
Maine : some small deposits, we underctand, have
been received firom this locality at the Phila-
delphia Mint. The grains are said to be larga
and of a high qnality, though various. In Nova
Bcotia, also, tliere have been extensive mines re-
cently laid open, though as yet not very rcmune
rative. This gold goes direct to England, j

[Non*— It lia nuittw of dMp ngnt to the pnb-
Iblior and editor of the National Alv an ao that no
full or aoounite necrolocy of the United StatM Vo-
lunteer terrlce could be prepared. In the regular
■ervtce (la both the army and nav^; ofBdal re-
oordt of the caaoaltlee are kept and periodically
published. Theee ftamish reliable data for those
bmnohee of the military Mnrice; but thue fkr
there is no record of simaar character within our
knowledge concerning the caaualtles in the vol-
unteer army and navy. In the abeenoe of fuch
authentic data, the necrology of the Tolnnteers
(below the gradae of general and itaff offlcen)
has to be made from the hasty and inoomplete,
and flrequenily erroneous, accounts sent from the
field while it is stUl obscured by the clouds and
aonftision of battle. From a copious supply of
such materials a necrology of the comnuiMioned
officers of the volunteers was prepared fbr this
volume; but. upon submitting it to a course of
verification, it was found that In many instances
the officers named were living, that in numerous
other instances officers who are undoubtedly
among the fkllon heroes of the nation, were not
named at all, and that, in a word, the publication
of such a list would be placing on record a mere
digest of unreliable or erroneous rumors. Under
these circumstances, the necrol<^y of Yolnntaers
(below the grade of general and staff officers) has
been omitted from this volume, with the nope
that by the time of our next publication some
provision shall have been maoe by which the
record may be made Ml and reliable, as such a
record should be.]

80TTBGES OF IHPOBHATIOH, ASD AOraOWLBDOlCEnTB.
In the preparation of the following articles on foreign countries the editor of
the Almanac sought (as in all other cases) information from original sources and
official personages. To this end he addressed letters to the ministers, diplo-
matic agents, and consuls of foreign countries in the United States, and also
to the ministers, diplomatic agents, and consuls of the United States abroad.
From a large number of these gentlemen he received yaluable contributions, —
which favors are gratefully acknowledged. Some of them, however, failed to
respond ; and in these cases, the best authorities in book-form were examined
and used, chief among which was the Almanach de Qotha for 1864. These articles
are believed to be exceedingly valuable, and, taken in the aggregate, far superior
to any thing on the same subject hitherto published in annual form in the United
States.

The Austrian Bmpire is a union of dUftrent
BCatea under one sovereign and one central gorem-
meat The Inhabitantsof these States differ from
each other in descent, language, customs, laws,
and religion. Previous to October 20, 1860, the
whole legislative authority was vested in the
Imperor, who exercised supreme control in all
the provinces ezc^t Hungary, Croatia, and Tran-
syWimia. the Diets being Tutmsled only with the
powerof apportioning the sufmliea to be oootri-
h«ted by the different districts in accordance with
tha laws on i&naodal aftairs fhuned by the Bmperor
and transmitted to them to be registered. On
October 20. 1860, however, to remove the general
deep-eeatea diaatisfaction which had existed
from long before the insurrection of 1848, the
Xmperor grsnted a Constitution to the non-Hun-
garian StiOes, and reaffirmed the andent Consti-
tutions of Hungary, Croatia, and Transvlvanla.
This Constitution, with the subsequent Imperial
eonceaiions of 26th Fobmary. 1861, and Ist May,
186(2, granted to the Austrian Imperial Parliament
the regulation of aU subjects of lefrislaUon in re-
■ird to the non-HungMlan provinces, except
those reserved specially to the ProvincUl Diets,
•zed the law of reprcaentatioo, and decreed the
rssponsfbility of Ministers.
The Imperial Anstrfan Parliament is composed
of a Howe of Lords and a Bouse of Bepreeent*
•lives.
The House of Lords is constituted as follows »->
the Great Priness of the Imperial FMnily, 62
iMrsdllary chiefr of noble fluntliea of high rank
from their very extensive territorial posasesions,
the archbishops and bishops of princely rank,
and 47 members appointed for life. President,
Prtaoe von Anorsperg.
Tbo House of Representatives is composed of

The Committee of Confederation has not exerted
much influence of late years. It was, oonse*
quently, proposed in 1808 to popularise the Ger-
man representative system. On the Idth of August,
the sovereign German Princes and the Buigomas-
ters of the nee Cities assembled at Frankfort, when
a plan of reform was laid before the Assembly by
the Emperor of Austria. This plan proposes for
the le^lative and administrative affidrs of the
Confederation: (1) A Directory cousistlng of the
Knperor of Austria, the Kings of Prussia and
Bavaria, and two other princes taken tiom the
minor States; (2) a Federal Coundl consisting of
Commissioners casting 17 votes for the whole Con-
federation, subiject to the revision of the Federal
; (8) an Assembly of Delegates elected
by the representative bodies of tho several Stata:
(4) an Assembly of the Princes and of tbeOtiel
Magistrates of the Fkve Oitiee; (6) a Fedcnl Tri-
bunal.
In the Assembly of Delegates, the votes of tka

Bf the Act of the Congress of Tienna of June,
1816, the contribution of the various States to the
army of the Germanic Confederation was fixed at
one per cent of the population, that is, the popula-
tion possessed at that particular period, without
taking into account a further increase or decrease
of numbers. One-seventh of this army waft to con-
sist of cavalry; and ten pieces of artillery, with a
proportionate number of artillerists, were to be
ihrnished with every 1000 men. On this basis,
tta army of the Confederation consisted of
801,097 men, rank and file. TaHous changes van
introduced into this milltarr organiation nb-
scquently ; and by a vote of ttio Diet of Msrdi 16.
1853, the total strength of the army was laiKelj
incrooHed. The actual strength of the army of dis
Confederation consists of 891,034 infiuitrx, *•»***

local self-government aflbrds to the inhabitants.
The government of Liberia is entirely in the
hands of colored men, and Is successfully main-
tatned. Its independence has been formally ac-
knowledged by thirteen of the Powers of Bnrope
aad America,— Bngland and Trance being among
the former, and the Government of the United
States among the latter. Treaties of amity, com-
BMTce, and navigation have been condnded be-

Bdward S. Morris, Bsq., ofPhiladelphia,— a gentle-
man fteling a deep Interest In the prosperity of
the Bepubuc of Liberia and well Informed coo-
cemlng its aifidrs,— we extract the following
passages relating to its climate, sdl, produc-
tions, Ac.: —
**0n Christmas afternoon, 1802, our good ship
anchored oif Monrovia. The an^earaaoe of the
surrounding country from the andiorage Is
superb, being adorned with all the luxwriaat
vegetation of that sunny cUme, although it
wanted many of those ImproTemente which the
hand of man can bestow in more fovorable tit-
cumstances. The sloping banks, mrpded with
the richest tropical verdure, the dty on the hill,
the fort and Its flag, the Ught•hous^ store^wuses,
Ac, formed a scene which excited admlratieo.
"The climate of Liberia varies but little in tsm-
perature throughout the year. Properly speak*
ing, there are but two seasons, filing and sum-
mer. Yegetation Is not Interrupted. WUlesome
products of the earth are In blossom, others are
coming to maturity. The two seasons which
diride the year are called tiie wet and the dry;
the former extends from the beginning of June
to the end of October. During the wet season the
rains are by no means incessant, and In the dry
season there are some refrediing showers. The
temperature in the warmest weather seldom ex-
cewb OOP Vshrenhelt, and it has not often beea
known to (all below tSP.
** The soil of Liberia is in all respects excellent :
it is so exceedingly fertile that many articles
which require so much labor in other countries
are here produced spcmtaneously, or witti very
little effort on the part of the husbandman. The
vegetable productions of the country are of count-
less varieU. some of them venr valuable. The
forests produce mahogany, hickory, teak, rose-
wood, boxwood, and many other kinds of timber

for your disposal the following sketch of one vhe
has contributed m«eh to the moral axMl p^yskal
advancement of Liberia.
*" Daniel B. Warner, the third President of Itet
Republic, was inaugurated on the 1st of tlii
month. He is an able statecmnn, a repnbUcaa
of tho right stamp,.a. spood writer, n ] ' '
citixen, and, 1 may ado, a «
broadest signiflcatiim.
** Mr. Warner is of unmixed African blood. IDs
penonal appearance is man^, and. calcuUt^ta
command respect. His HJo/af trattr ktt nc^
lent, and his intellectual qualities are of a hi|;fa
order. He is sagacious, persevering, dlMgent la
every pursuit, and strictly correct In all hii deal-
ings. He possesses much taontm of dMraeter,
thoufl^ his mannen are agrcenble and fals dispo-
sition amiable. Few men in any country can
compare with Mr. Warner with re^tid to the
variety of services he has rendered to the pubUc
He hM done active duty in the amy and navr,
in the counting-house and In the Oakinet. He
has also been an efficient local preacher in Iks
Methodist Church. In short, he la wimt Ir.
Franklin consida*ed the most bonoraUle of huawi
beings,—* a doer of good to his fisllow-men.* Iks
%rriter of this sketch, while IntelT on a vWt ta
Liberia, became personalty acquainted with lb,
Warner : he has met with few men more dttaenlag
of universal esteem. The hi^ estimation be o^
tains among hiit countrymen m suAclentty' provsi
by his elevation to tlw chief mac^istracy. Iks
seal which Mr. Warner has always diap&jpsdli
tho public service gives us an aMuranca that the
affiUrs of the nation will continoe to ftootA
under his auspices. His policy is strictly IiiiIm
trial, and will no doubt be used to dev^p tk0
agricultural and manufiscturing reaoorces of tts
country.
^'What an example does the record of Mr.
Warner oiler to the industrious and enterpvlsiBg
young men of Liberia! It cxempUfiea the reality
of the fiatct that the highest offices of the Ckyvon*
ment stand open for the most w<Nrthv, bowew
humble his origin or however straitened Ui
worldly circumstances. His record also addrc—a
itself to the &thers of worthj and intelligent
youth in America. I rospectiwty invita them to
gUnoe at that chair of state, by obtaining whidi
their sons would become historical chaiactsn.
And I am f^ee to add that the chief masfirtracy of
Liberia is the highest position n colorea Ban can
reach In this life; for on him rest the <featinisa
of one hundred millions of human beinga. Aikiea

' B»ucAnoir.— Popular education in Mexico ie pro-
Tided for by a system of primary and seoondary
■ohools, the former being supported by municipal
ftuds or flram the treasuries of the States re-
■pectivdr, except ia the District of Mexico and
the Territory of GUIfomia, where the expenses
.$t9 piid tfcia the National Trsaswrr. Some of
4a«se schools hav^ in addition, partlcaiar funds ad-
;|»iBi«t<yw4 by. piyate mmcimUouB, Uwler their
inHnence, popular education has been greatly sti-
mulated, and Tery great progress has been made.
In the primary schools, instruction is limited to
reading, writing, the principles of arithmetic, and
faligfons and moral training. There is in the
city of Mexico an association, named *'Gompanhk
Lancasteriana,'* protected by the Oorernment,
which company superintends all primary schools,
encouraging publications, and erery kind of labor
ftrorable to this branch of education; and asso-
ciations of a similar character exist in most of the
States.
The secondary instruction is giren in colleges
■npported either by particnlar ftin<li or by the
treasuries of the States.
In the city of Mexico there have been, since
the time of the Spanish Oovemment, excellent
colleges of this kind, where many of the notabl68
of the Church, the bar, kc.. have been educated.
The most important are " Saint Ildephonso Col-
lege,'* " The Lateran Coilege,*" ** The Condliar Se-
.mlaary,** and "^ Saint Gregory College.** All of
these are extant but the last, which was suppreased
by the €h>Temment a few years ago, its funds
.being transferred to a school of agriculture.
In the above-mentioned colleges, young men
-make their preparatory studies for the proftssions
of lawyer and notary public, besides the special
atndies adapted to those professions.
nie preparatory studies, which continue gene-
rally five years, consist of Latin and Spunish
^Grammar, translation from the French and some-
times the English languages, elements of Logic and
Bthios, at Mathematics and Natural Philosophy.
After these Ibllow the particnlar studies of the
profession, which are thorough and
extensive. The law studies, which last four years,
«mbraoe Natural and International Law,! Pub-

•Cdabt. That Mt,howttT«r,wu promptly ivpealed;
blrt tho hoallle towimuiaod, on the groond that
Mexico proTided no Mcurity for the fufllment of
kor oU^tloas. The troopa of the expedition
•eenpled the portof Yei« Oms without reeietanee^
that place having been evacuated by tlie Mexican
ftnreea according to a plan of defence previoualy
adopted. White there a,nA on the road leading to
the citT of Mexico, the troopa of the expedition
ntfered tnmify frowthe oxceitfve heat of the
cUmate, and then negotiationa were opened, oelen-
ilMjr vith a view to a eettiement of the dlifer-
«fM« betyree* the allied nationa and Mexico with-
out fhrther hoeUlitiee. Meanwhile it was asked
bj the alliei, and consented to by Mexico, that the
Invading amy should occupy more salubrious
djknvters in Cordova, Oriaaba, and Tehnacan, with
ttie undentanding that, If hostilitlee should be re-
Bewed, the troops of the expedition should first
retire to the positions occupied before the agree*
Bsent. Just previous to the opening of negotia*
tlona for a settlement, the representatives of the
tiuree allied nations had a meeting for the purpose
of agreeing upon the claims they were to present
to the consideration of the Mexican Government.
Ik waa at this meeting that the French Minister
tfaclosed the enormous Jecker claim. The Eng^
VA Minister and General Prim, the Spanish com-
Bsandw, were surprised ; and this, with other dls-
mres made to them, leading to the belief that
>■ French Emperor intended to interfere in the
domestic concerns of Mexico, caused them on the
Mh of April, 1802, to declare the Convention of
Ikmdon transgressed, and to withdraw the troops
of their Governments fh>m the expedition. After
tbftt time the invasion was continued by the
fkvndi ahme. When ImstUities were renewed,
the Vnnch. did not retire to their joriglnal posi-
tions, according to their agreement with the
Mexican authorities, but retained possession of
Orizaba. The prominent events subsequent to
the p^od in ouestlon were as follow :—

It may ocGasion lurpriM to many who are ao-
costomM to read of the prfditon now attained In
the science and practice of astronomy, when it is
stated tluit there are strong grounds for supposing
the generally received value of that great unit of
celestial measures— the mean distance of the earth
from the sun — to be materially in error, and that,
in fibct, we are nearer to the central luminary by
some 4,000,000 miles than for many years past has
been commonly believed. The results of various
reeearches during the last ten years appear, how-
ever, to point to the same conclusion, and, under
tli« impression that the subject mav be deemed
one of more than scientific interest, Mr. Hind has
drawn up the following popular outline of the
actual state of our knowledge respecting It.
The measure of the sun's distance which has
been generally accepted by astronomers depends
upon an elaborate discussion of the observations
of the transits of the planet Venus over the sun's
disk in the years 1701 and 1709, published by Pro-
fessor Bncke, of Berlin. The great importance of
these rare phenomena in the solution of what has
been justly termed " the noblest problem in as-
tronomy ,** was first pointed out by our countryman
Ralley, towards the close of the seventeenth cen-
tury. The principle involved is the determination
of the amount of displacement of Venus upon the
•olar disk, as viewed from distant stations on the
aarth's surftce, whereby the parallax of the planet
Is found, and hence from the known proportion of
ber distance to that of the sun the distance of the
latter bodv can be inferred. In practice this prin-
ciple resolves itself into one of two metho^ The
flbnt, and bv fisr the best, consists in the cmnpari-
aon of the observed duration of the transit at places
Ikvorably situated for shortening and lengthening
It, either by difference of latitude alone, or in cer-
tain cases with the additional effect of the earth's
rotation on her axis, which will diminish or in-
crease the interval of transit, according as the ob-
server Is carried to meet the motion of Venus or
the contrary. This method is independent of the
longitudes of the stations, which are often very
Imperfectly known, but unfortunately it cannot
tw applied advantageously in every transit, and Is
Uable to fldl entirely if atmospherical circum-
interrupt the observations either at ingress
I (or of the first and last contacts of the
planet with the sun's disk). The second method
M by comparison of observations of the absolute
times of ingress only, or of egress only, at stations
wklely differing in latitude; here the longitude
anters as an indispensable element, and it must
b9 pretty exactly known to allow of a trustworthy
result.
At no period, probably, has an astronomical
phenomenon excited a more wide-spread interest
than previous to the year 1761^ the first of the
transits of Venus drew nigh. The Royal Society,
«t that time under the presidency of the Earl of
Macclesfield (a nobleman distinguished for his
great attainments and zeal in the encouragement
of this particular science), took action in 1700, and
procured the fittine-out of two Government expe-
ditions to points which had been Judged fitvorable
§ar tbB purpose In view. Hason and Dixon, orl-
gtnally destmed for Benooolen, were, fortunately
as it happened, delayed on their nassage, and at**
tioned themselves at the Cape of Good Hope, while
Haskelyne proceeded to St. Helena. Thesdentlflo
academies of Paris, St. Petersburg, and Stockholm,
aided by their respective Governments, despatched
observers to the island of Rodrigues, In the Indian
Ocean, and various parts of the extreme north of
Europe, Siberia, and Tartary ; indeed, from Lisbon
to Pekin, and f^om Tomea, on the Gulf of Bothnia,
to the Cape of Good Hope, preparations were made
for observations which it was hoped would iMd to
a more precise knowledge of that unit of mea-
sures upon which all distances and dimensions
beyond the moon depend. The result, howler,
disappointed expectation; the values of the solar
parallax obtained by different calculators ex-
hibited discordances which tended to throw doubt
upon the whole, and hence it cannot be said that
the transit of 1761 was of material service in the
solution of the problem. Bncke's researches assign
8f*A9 as the most probable parallax from thte
transit, but some of the ootemporary compute*
arrived at much larger numbers. The cause of
this unsatisfkctory conclusion Is sufficiently evi-
dent In 1761 it was impossible to fix upon sta-
tions so situated as to gLye the first method d»>
scribed above a chance ot success, and hence the
value of the observations depended upon an exact
acquaintance vrith the longitudes of the observers,
which are open to considerable uncertainty in
several of the most important cases.
The transits of Venus generally happen in pairs,
an interval of eight years elapsing between the
two, while fh>m the last of one pair to the first of
the next either 106 or 122 years will intervene.
The second transit is always more fkvorable for
ascertaining the sun's distance than the first,
which circumstance, added to the contradictory
nature of the results derived in 1761, gave occasion
to preparations in 1700 on even a greater scale
thim in the former year. The British Govern-
ment again, at the instance of the Royal Sode^,
equipp^ several expeditions to distant stations.
Cu>taln (then Lieutenant) Cook proceeded to
the Pacific, and with Mr. Green, one of the assist-
ants at the Royal Observatory, had a fktvorable
view of the transit in the island of Tahiti, fh>m
a position still known as Point Venus ; observers
were also despatched to Hudson's Bay and to
Madras. The Danish Government sent to Ward-
hus (an island in the Arctic Ocean, at the northeast
extremity of Norway) a Vienna ecclesiastic. Father
Hell, who had witnessed the previous transit at
the observatory of that city, and who succeeded
in establishing a most unenviable notoriety in
connection with the second. The entrance of the
planet upon the sun's disk was seen at nearly all
the European observatories, and its departure
therefh>m at several points In Bastem Asia, at
Manilla, Batavia, Ac.; while the entire duration
was watched at Wardhns, at different places in
Lapland, at Tahiti, St Joseph In CaUfomla, and
elsewhere. If the weather had been propitious
at all the northern stations, the combination of
the data thus obtained, with the observations of
Captain Cook and Mr. Green in the Pacific, would,
in all probability, have led to a very reliable de-
termination of the sun's distance : indeed, Pro-

• Bncke, at the condmlon of his treatise on
the mibject, has a remark wliich virtoallj implies
that conipleto observatiom at the eight nortbem
Btatiouiif ubd a similar nmuber in the Frieudly
Isluiidflf would have giTen this distance more ex-
actly tkuu the whole 250 obeenrations taken at
l^th transits elsewhere. Unf6rtunately, clouds
interfered at most of the selected stations, except
llfardhus, and it consequently happens that the
times noted by Hell and his assistants exorcise a
E!!«t influence on the final result. This would
ve been comparatively unimportant if the Vien-
nese astronomer had not tampered with his ob-
servations to such an extent as to induce some of
his cotemporaries (LHlando auioug the number)
to regard them as forgeries, lie delayed tlioir
publication for nine months, and nMieatedly pre-
varicated respecting them; even when given to
the world they were found to exhibit serious dis-
cor^pmces finom those of other observers ; but, al-
though the suspicions of his dishonesty were pretty
general at the time, it was not until 1834 tlrnt
positive proof was forthcoming. In tliat year
Professor Littrow, of the Vienna Observatory, dis-
covered among Heirs manuscripts a note-book
which there is every reason to suppose was the
identical one used at Wardhus. It then became
apparent that the principal figures had been
erased so as to be for the most paut illegible ; but
l^m a careful examination of such as remained
it was thought that one observation of the ingress
and one of the egress might be depended upon ;
this was Littrow's opinion, and JBncke, accepting
his reasons, discussed the whole anow, and found
the solar parallax to be 8^^.57. or, for the earth's
distance firom the sun, 95,865,000 miles.
Although, for the reason stated, some suspicion
has attached to the value of the solar parallax ob-
tained fh)m the transit of 1760, the first serious
doubts as to its accuracy may perhaps be dated
ftrom the publication of Professor Hansen's ele-
ments of the moon's orbit in 1854. Several years
previous Mr. Airy had brought to a conclusion one
of the most valuable and laborious works ever
undertaken in astronomy,— the reduction on a
uniform system and compariMon with theory of
the immense mass of lunar meridional observations
ttdcen at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, be-
tween the years 1750 and 1830, the results of which
were printed in 1847. These calculations furnished
the means of improving the tables of the moon so
far as depends upon observations in the mcTidlaii ;
but such observations are impracticable when she
is near to the sun, and consequently several of the
inequalities of her motion are not completely ex-
hibited by them. It was for this reason, and to
secure a hold upon her entire orbit, or very nearly
so, that the Astronomer Boyal some voars since
devised and erected at Greenwich an instrument
■pecially intended for determining the place of
ue moon in any part of her diurnal path. The
results given by this instrument, which Is known
08 the altazimuth, have proved of great value in
affording a check upon the amount of several
irregularities indicated by theory, and particularly
upon one technically called the parallactic equa-
tion, which is directly connectea with the solar
parallax, or, in other words, with the earth's dis-
tance fh>m the sun. If the amount of this in-
equality, as given by observation, does not agree
with that computed with an nssumed value for
the sun's distance, we knoM- tluit the latter re-
quires correction, and it is easy to ascertain to
what amount Profeiior Hansen found that the
Greonwioh meridian observations required a mata
rial diminution in the snn's distance, and wera
confirmed by a long series taken at Dorpat, In
Russia; while the same oonclntfion was drawn bj
Mr. Airy firom the obser^'atlons with the alt-
azimuth instrument in other parts of the moon*s
orliit. The solar parallax finally given by Uaa-
sen is 8''J7, about four-tenths of a second greats
than was inferred from the transits of Venus, and
corresponding to a diminution of more than
4,000,000 miles in the earth's distance fh>m the
snn.
Within the lost few years M. Le Terrier has
completed a most rigorous application of the
theory of attraction to the motions of the earth.
Venus, and Mors, as defined by a long course at
observation at Greenwich and other astronomical
establishments. Nothing can excel In complete-
ncss the three investigations of thto enunant
mathematician.
Tlie theory of the earth was published in 1858L
in the JtmaUs of the Observatory of Paris, and
contains one striking result bearing upon the
suUect of my communication. The inequality
technically called the lunar equation was fbuM
to reouire an increase of one-twellth part, whkk
would render necessary an augmentation of
Encke's solar parallax of nearly four-tenths of a
second, and therefore a diminution of the asamnsd
distance of the earth from the sun vety nearly
to the same amount assigned by Hansen^ re-
searches connected with the moon. M. Le Terrier
adopts 8''.96 for the parallax in his solar tables,
but does not, in this place, inslBt upon its substits-
tioia for the number given by the transits of Tenus.
The earth's mass as referred to the snn's wonl^
from the same cause, require increasin|r to the ex-
tent of nearly a tenth part of the whole.
In the theory of the planet Tenus it is fbuad
impossible to account for the motion of the line
of nodfs (the points where her orbit intersects
the ecliptic) MiUi the received values of the planet-
ary masses; but, if a correction be applied to the
mnm of the earth of about the same magnitude as
indicated by M. Le Terrier's previous researcfaaa,
the calculated motion of the nodes would agrM
with that resulting from observations as Csrbai^
as they can be depended upon. In this cane, how-
ever, it would be necessary to diminish the adopted
measure of the earth's distance frvm the sun by a
thirtieth part,— affording another and ouite tnda-
pendont corroboration of the error with which it
is affected. In 1861 the investigation of th« orbit
of Mars was completed, and forms, with the tablsa
of the planet, a part of the last voluBie of Um
Paris AtmaUt. vL Le Terrier announces, as tha
fait capital to which his discussion had led him,
the absolute impossibility of representing the ob-
servations without a motion of the nerlhelion (or
nearest point of the orbit to the sun) greater than
is consistent with the planetary masses employed,
and the eaual imposdbility of providing mr the
increase of disturbing force, except by the addi-
tion of at least a tenth part to \h» assumed mass
of the earth, with the corresponding diminntkni
in her distance iVom the sun.
Notwithstanding these very remarkable and
confirmatory results, M. Le T wrier appears to hava
been at this time very strongly impressed with
the exactness of Encke's partdlax, and terms tlia
unavoidable increase of the received value "a
grave objection" to the augmented mass of tha
earth derived ftt>m his theories. He had pta vtoosly
detected a Biotion of the perihelion of tha plaaat

THE SUK*8 DISTANCE FROM THE EARTH.
629
Mercury, doe to loine unknown cause, and pro-
poned to ftcootint Ibr this and the other anomalons
motione I hare alluded to, bj the following a«-
•omptjooa : —
1. There exists, besides the planets Mercury,
Teutts, the Earth, and Mam, a ring of asteroids
between the Sun and Mercury, the aggr^^te mass
of which is comparable to that of Blercnry.
2. At the distance of the earth from the sun
there is a second ring of asteroids, the mass of
which is at raoet equal to a tenth of the earth's.
8. The total mass of the asteroids between Mars
and Jupiter is at most equal to one-third of the
I of f
^ the earth.
4. The masses of the last two groups are comple-
mentary to each other : ten times the mass of the
group at the earth's distance, ptut three times the
mass of the group situate between Mars and Jupi-
tCT, gires a sum equal to the mass of the earth.
** This last conclusion,** adds M. Le Verrier, ** de-
Dends on the measure of the distance of the earth
nrom the sun by the transits of Venus, which a»-
tronomers agree in considering as yerj precise."
Now, it is to be remarked that the nrst of these
assumptions may be admitted in explanation of
the motion of the perihelion of Mercury, without
affecting the question of the earth's distance : in-
deed, it acquires additional probability from the
Ibct that dark spots hare from time to time been
observed to traverse the sun's disk, and firom their
rapid motion and well-deflned appearance have
been considered bodies of a planetary nature re-
Tolving within the orbit of Mercury. The exist-
ence of a ring of asteroids in the vicinity of the
earth's path, and with an aggregate mass sufficient
to explain the observed motion of the node of
Tenus and the perihelion of Mars, is perhaps a
more disputable point. I shall not, however, stop
to inquire how far it may be favored or otherwise
by our present knowledge of meteoric astronomy,
but proceed to mention the ftirther evidence which
has been forthcoming since the publication of M.
Ijo Terrier's luvestigationH, and would rather in-
duce us to adopt a diminished measure of the
earth's distance from the sun, as the most pro-
bable'solution of the difficulty.
M. L6on Foncault, of Paris, has succeeded in
measuring the absolute velocity of light by moans
of the •* turning mirror," — an experimental deter-
mination of no little interest and slgnlflcance. Ho
concludes that It cannot differ much from two
hundred and ninety-t-ight millions of French
metres per second, or 185,170 English miles, which
]■ a notable diminution upon the velocity pre-
Tiously derived from astronomical data alone.
The time which light requires tn travel from the
Iran to the earth is known with great precision ;
at the mean dlstano^ of the latter it is rather less
than 8 minutes 18 seconds, and if this number
be combined with M. Foucault's measure of the
Telocity It will bo evident that the received dis-
tance is too great by about one-thirtieth part, —
that light, in fact, lias not so far to travel before
it reaches the earth as generally supposed. The
corresponding solar parallax Is 8".86, which ap-
proaches much nearer to M. Le Terrier's theo-
retical value than to the one depending on the
transits of 1761 and 1709. So curious a corrobo-
ration of the former deserves especial remark.
The very rare occurrence of the transits of
Tenus has naturally induced astronomers to con-
sider other practical methods of approximating
to the Bvm''i distance, admitting of more frequent
repetitiOD, though not possessing in a single ap-
plication the mme amount of mofmncy. Among
these the observation of the planet Mars at stations
widely diHerlng in latitude has received much
attention. The orbit of this planet is so excen-
trlcal as to cause a material variation in its dis-
tance from the earth when in opposition, and con-
sequently most fkvorably placed for observatioa.
In some years it will not approach within two-
thirds of the distance of the earth from the sun,
while in others it will be separated from us by
Httle more than one-third of the same, and ia
such cases we liave opportunities of ascertaining
the sun's parallax trom that of the planet, either
by a system of observations at different points of
the earth's surface, or even by measuring its dis-
tance fh>m neighboring stars, at a single station.
The nearer we are to Mars, the greater the pro*
bability, c«Urit paribus, of an exact result. Sup-
pose we have a number of determinations of the
planet's distance from the celestial equator at an
observatory in north latitude (as Greenwich or
PoulkovaX and others on corresponding dates at
an observatory in the opposite hemisphere (as the
Gape or Melbourne), and that from the known
rate of the apparent motion of Mars we reduce
them to the same instant, care being taken to
eliminate the effect of refi^ction, the declinations
will still exhibit a discordance, which, neglecting
error of observation, will be due to the sum of the
parallaxes of Mars at the two observatories. From
this quantity the sun's parallax can be inferred,
since we know the exact proportion which the
distance of the planet bears to that of the sun.
In 1857 Mr. Aiiy drew attention to two opposi-
tions of Mars, 1860 and 1862, peculhirly fovorable
for such observations, and strongly recommending
that an attempt should be made to correct the
received distance of the sun by means of tliem.
In 1860 the observations wholly (ailed through an
unusual prevalence of clouded skies at the best
stations; but, in 1862, numerous comparisons of
the planet with stars in his vicinity were pro-
cured at Greenwich, Poulkova, the Cape of Clood
Hope, and Wllliamstown, Tictoria.
If those at Greenwich and Wllliamstown are
combined, the sun's parallax is found to be S^'.fi^
while Poulkova and the Cape g^ve 8''.97, niunbers
in close accordance with the theoretical values
already mentioned. There'^is but little proba-
bility that any further light will be thrown on
the question of parallax from observations of Mars
during the next ten years, the planet's distance
from the earth In opposition being always too
great to afford that method a fiUr chance of sue-
To retApitnlate briefly: a diminution In the
measure of the sun's distance now adopted is im-
plied by — ^Ist, the theory of the moon, as regards
the parallactic equation, agreeably to the re-
searches of Professor Hansen and the Astronomer
Royal ; 2d, the lunar equation in the theory of the
eartli, newly investigated by M. Le Terrier; 3d,
the excess in tlie motion of the node of the orbit
of Tenus beyond what can bo due to the received
values of the planetary masses ; 4th, the similar
excess in the motion of the perihelion of Mars,
also detected within the past few years by the
same mathematician ; 5th, the experiments of M.
Foucault on the velocity of light; and 6th, the
results of observations of Mars when near the
earth about the opposition of 1862.

on which relf Mice has m long been placed. The
eiurth's mean distance from the son bec<Hnes
91,828,600 miles, being a mluction of 4,086,000.
The circnmfereuco of her orbit, 699,1W,000 miles,
being a diminution of 26,360,000. Uer moan hourly
Telocity 66,460 miles. Tlie diameter of the snn
860,100 miles, which is smaller by nearly 38,000.
The distances, velocities, and dimensions of all
the members of the planetary system of courue
require similar corrections if we wish to express
them in miles; In the case of Neptune, the mean
distance is diminished by thirty timee the amount
of correction to that of the earth, or about 122,«
000,000 miles. The velocity of light is decreased
by nearly 8000 miles per second, and becomes
188,470 if Mbsed upon astrononomical data alone.
These numbers will illustrate the great import-
ance that attaches to a precise kuowlt*dge of the
■nn's parallax, in our sppretiHtion of the various
distances and dimensions In the solar system.
The flrst of\)the ensuing pair of transits of Venus
will take place on the 9th of December fclvil
reckoning), 1874, and the second on the 6tn of
December, 1882.
I have calculated the circumstances of both
Shenomena from M. Le Terrier's new tables of
lie sun and planet, the foil details of which may
be found in the Omntea Rendm of the Paris
Academy of Sciences for July 22, 1861. For the
transit of 1874, December 0, 1 find—
" The coqjunction in rlcht ascension at 4h. 60m.
ISs. A jf., mean time at Greenwich, Venus north
of sun's centre by 14m. 16s. Bxternal contact at
ingress, Ih. 46m. 66s. km.\ internal ditto, 2h. 16m.
678. A.M.; internal contact at egress, 6h. &7m. 6s.
AJi.; external ditto, 6h. 20m. 68. aji.
^ " The first contact at Ingress will take place in
the zenith In longitude 161 degrees 22 minutes
east, and latitude 22 degrees 67 minutes south,
and the last contact at egress in longitude 81 de-
grees 36 minutes east, and latitude & degrees 68
minutes south. As viewed in an InvertinK tele-
scope, the planet will enter upon the sun's cUsk at
a point about 131 degrees fh>m north towards
the west, and will leave it about 160 decrees from
north towards the east"
Similarly, for the transit of 1882, December 6,
my computation gives,—
" The conjunction in right ascension at 4h. 20m.
14s. P.M., mean time at Greenwich ; Venus south
of sun's centre 11m. 6s. External contact at in-
gress, Ih. 65m. 38s. p.m.; internal ditto, 2h. 15m.
a6s. P.M. ; internal contact at egress, 71u»p2m. 278.
P.M. ; external ditto, 8h. 12ni. 47s. p.m. The first
contact at ingress will take place in the zenith in
lon^tudo 81 degrees 6 minutes west, and latitude
22 (Tfgrees 40 minutes south, and the last contact
at c^pss in longitude 126 degrees 20 minutes west,
and latitude 22 degrees 42 minutes south. As
viewed in an inverting telescope, the planet \>ill
enter upon the stin's disk at a point about 35 de-
griH?s from north towards the west, and will leave
it about 66 degrees from north towards the east."
From the preceding numbers it will appear that
no part of the trandt of 1874 can be wltnened
In England. The egress only will be visible in
the southeast of Europe near sunrise— in Italy,
Turkey, kc. The entire dnratioii may be
in Australis. New Zealand, British India, China,
Tartary, and the islands of the Indian Ocean, in-
cluding MadagRscar. The astronomical conditioBa,
however, will not be veiy fiivorable for tlie invee*
tigation of parallax, either by the flrat or second
method to which allusion has been made. Thaa,
for observations of the difference of dnrmtJon of
transit, vt-e must rely upon stations selectrd so as
to offer the greatest difference of latitude, wiUiost
the possibility of introducing the additional effect
of the earth's rotation. The Russian anthoritira,
alwajrs energetic in mattmi of sclettce, may pn»>
I ^ide for the observation of the pht nomenon in
I Eastern Siberia, and otsH-rers migbt h« located
I in various parts of Central Asia. For soattiera
stations we have AnstnUla, New Zealand, and
several islands in the Indian Ocenn. inclodiiif
Kerguelan*s Land, Lut^ as remarked by the Aa>
tronomer Royal (whoM lucid address on this rab>
ject, published in the MKnIlilg Aotitta of the Roya]
Astronomical Society for May, 1867. I am hers
chiefly following), "the observable difference ef
durations will probably not be half of that in 18^*
The sncceasfnl appUoation of the second method,
via., the comparison of differeucm of alisoluts
times ol ingress only or of egress only, will rrnder
necessary a precise determination of many dhuaat
longitudes between the Mauritius, or the Isle ti
Bourbon, and the Sandwich Islands. In tks
transit of 1882, the first and preferable method
may be advantageously used under certain condi-
tions. The entire duration will be obserrable la
the United States and in a part of British North
America, and in this region will be shortened not
only by northern position, but by the effect of the
earth's rotation, wltich must carry the observer
to meet the motion of the planet. On the cobp
trary, the dnrstion would be lengthened by the
latter cause and by southern position in those
parta where an Antarctic continent was laid down
some years since by Admiral Wilkes. Assnzi-
ing that land is really to be found in that ref^ioB
and may be approached in December, then can
be no doubt, on merely scientific coneiderstkns,
that observers would be very advantageoasty
placed upon it in 1882. For the application of the
second method, the island in the western part of
the Indian Ocean will have the ingress aocelenOed,
while the Atlantic seaboard of North America wHl
have it retarded. The cgreas will be retarded in
part of the Australian continent, including New
South Wales and Victoria, in New Zeaiand. tks
New Hebrides and many islands of the Ptrivnerian
group, and will l>e accelerated in the United Statta,
the West India Islands, and tlie northeastern part
of South America. In this case, also, nomerons
longitudes would reqiUre determination with
greater accuracy than they are probably as yet
known. The ingress will be visible in England,
the first external contact at Greenwich taking
place at Ih. 60m. 67s. P.M.
It is scarcely to be doubted that every poaaiUe
use will be made of the transito of 1874 and 1881
to improve our knowledge of the great astroaooii-
cal unit, the measure <H the suits distance, and
that all the resources of modem science and all
the facilities i^orded by modem ent«r|n1se will
be combined fbr that puriwse. No other oppor-
tunity of the kind wUl occur until the year 2004.

a oompend of statistics, as a reglner of ftu;ts. as a record of events, as an epitome
of the condition and progress or the United States and of each particular State, for
the last two years, it stands without a peer. When once known, it must become
indispensable; and no. library, public or private, no counting-house, no public office,
can be considered completely mmlshed without it; and as for the professional man,
or the man of aflltirs, he must find it the most useftd auxiliary within his reach at

From the Hon. EDWABD EVEBETT, D.C.L., &o.
BottoHf March 11, 1863.
Dbab Sir : — I have examined with interest and pleasure the prospectus of the " PIC>
, TORIAL HISTORY OF THE GREAT CIVIL WAR," proposed to be executed by
Mr. Lossing. I feel no hesitation in expressing the opinion that tuch a work, prepared
by Mr. Lossing, will be of great value. Mr. Lossing's diligence in exploring the
localities which he describes, his fidelity and accuracy as a historian, and the spirit of
bid illustrations, are too well known, from his volumes which are already before the
public, to need any recommendation.
I remain, dear sir, respectfully yours, EDWARD EVERETT.
From WM. C. BRYANT, Esq.
New York, Ifarek 16, 1862.
Dbar Sir : — I am glad to learn that Mr. Lossing is preparing a " PICTORIAL
BISTORT OF THE GREAT CIVIL WAR." In his previous works, no man has
4hown himself more diligent and careful in the collection of facts, and his illnstratioiis
are executed with great fidelity and exactness. I am, sir, respectfhlly yours,
Gborqb W. Childb, Esq. WM. C. BRYANT.
From General CASS.
I am much gratified to be informed that Mr. Lossing is preparing a History of the
present Civil War. The theme is equally instructive and impressive ; and I am satialled
that the undertaking will be executed with diligence and ability, and that the work wiU
become a valuable repository, not only for present perusal, but also for future referenee.
LEWIS CASS.
From JABED SPARKS, I.L.D.
Cambridge f March 25, 1862.
Dear Sir : — I have perused with much satisfaction the prospectus of a work whidi
you propose to publish on the present war, and which b to be prepared by Mr. Lontng.
If we may judge from the result of Mr. Lossing's labors in previous works of a
similar character, it cannot be doubted that this enterprise will be executed with ability,
leal, and success, and will furnish valuable materials for illustrating the history of the
period to which it relates. Respectfully and truly yours,
GBOReK W. Cbilds, Esq. JARED SPARKS.
