When his paper does not know that the Democratic Union, the only Democratic party opposed to Tammany Hall, is re united and presents an unbroken front in favour of its candidates, the cause of such ignorance should be looked into, or the paper will lose its position as a first-class pur veyor of news. 1V hen party purposes control the news columns of the Herald, the day of its decline will have arrived. —Au illustrated comic paper, in the German lan guage, has recently been started in St. Louis. It is called Die Fame.— Senator Sprague, through a Mr. Halstead, has purchased the Washington National Intelbgencer, de signing to make it his organ.—" The Public Ledger of Phi ladelphia has a regular daily edition of over 70,000 copies, which is believed to be the largest circulation of any daily newspaper in the world, with but one exception." This is what an American writer says, but although near, we believe it is not quite the fact. The Noe York Herald is, we presume, the exception in America, but the Daily Tele graph is an exception in London, and there are journals with a larger circulation in Paris than any of these. The public is much misled about the circulation of newspapers, the talk being wildly of scores of thousands among those who have no conception what the handling of a score of thou sands really means. If they went to the Ledger Office, one of the finest buildings in Philadelphia, and saw tho distri bution of this single sheet, and the daily labour in get ting it up, they would have a b e tter idea of what 70 , 000 copies really does mean.—Mr. John Swinton, for many years an editorial write r on the New York Times,ifi writing , a W9ik eatitloQ"Ton lola vi Joruoliom." (From the Anglo-American Times.) Last Saturday week it was announced in this paper that the United States had concluded the pur chase of Samana Bay, that the Stars and Stripes were flying over the town, and that General Banks was about to pay a visit to the island. Last Satur day we gave the message sent from New York the preceding day, to the effect that the United States steamer Albany, loaded with heavy ordnance for the coast defences and carrying a regiment of infantry, had sailed on the 11th inst. from New York to take formal possession. On the same day an official denial was given, the assertion being that the Albany was destined to replace a vessel leaving the American squadron stationed in the Gulf of Mexico. Messrs. Peter Lawson and Son, who are interested, as the house which brought out the last loan for St. Do mingo on the London market, immediately tele- graphed for information to their New York corres pondents, who reilied—" Deputies from Washing- ton went down on a very important mission. think towards annexation. Cannot get reliably information yet. Will keep you advised." " our leading papers contain long editorials favouring annexation, but as yet they can only surmise." The effect of the message on the 12th was to raise the value of the loan, as it was anticipated that if the United States acquired possession of the peliin- sula on which stands the town of Samana, forming the northern side of the bay, that the end must be the annexation of the whole island, whereby the Government of the United States would be sabsti- tuted for that of the unstable Dominican Republic, vastly increasing the value of the bonds. Hayti is one of the richest and the most beautiful of the Antilles, and next to Cuba both in size and position. Its greatest length is close on 400 miles, its breadth 93; and the area 27,690 square miles. It is irre- gular in outline, indented by bays, and having cor responding projections. The finest of the harbom these form is that of Gonaive, in the west or the Haytian part, and of Samana, in the east, or the St. Domingo part. Three mountain chains intersect the island east and west, with wide fertile valleys, plains, and savannahs between. Samana is a peninsula separated from the main land by low marshy grounds, estuaries, and chan- nels. One of the ranges, rising near Monte Christi, skirts the Northern coast and ends abruptly near these marshes, but recommencing on the peninsula terminates in Cape Samana. It is one of the heal thiest of the 'West India Islands, with fewer earth quakes and hurricanes than any in the Carribbean group. A frightful earthquake, however, occurred in 1751, which levelled Port-au-Prince and many other towns, submerging 60 miles of coast, and de stroying thousands of lives. Tropical vegetation is no where else seen to greater advantage, but the Haytian section of the island is better cultivated than the eastern, the staples being coffee, indigo, sugar, cocoa, tobacco, and cotton. The mineral products are gold, platina, silver, copper, quicksilver, iron, tin, sulphur, manganese, antimony, rock salt, bitumen, jasper, marble, opal, lazislite, chalcedony, &c. In the 16th century the gold mines of the Cibao Mountain were very productive. That peak reaches to the height of 7,200 feet, the loftiest in Hayti. There are many lakes, two of which are salt, the Enriquillo twenty miles by eight, lying in the valley of the Neiva, and the Arzuey ten miles by six, besides the fresh water lake of Limon, about the same size as the Azuey as well as others. Hayti was discovered by Columbus in 1492, who founded the first Spanish colony of the New World at Isabella. After exterminating the native tribes the Spaniards introduced African slaves. The French, in 1630, settled inthe western part, which the Spaniards had abandoned, and in 1777 that portion was gua ranteed to France by treaty with Spain. The popu lation of French Hayti in 1790 was 540,000, com posed of whites, coloured, and the far more numerous blacks; on the outbreak of the French Revolution sanguinary though petty war ensued between the co loured people and the whites. As might have been an ticipateditended in a rising of the slaves, who joined the coloured inhabitants (for, though not slaves, they were deprived of all political privileges), and expelled the French, when power fell into the hands of the greater number, and a negro chief assumed the reins of Government. France made an attempt to regain the island, but after a few successful cam taigns by the army despatched from Europe, it ended in the permanent retirement of the French. In 1801 the Republic was declared independent, and resumed its indigenous name of Hayti, which means, the mountainous country. In 1821 the • Spanish portion having also assumed independence, Boyer, the President of the liberated French side, soon subjugated the liberated Spanish side, and brought the island again under one Government. Boyer was expelled by a revolution in 1842, and in 1844 the Spanish portion rose against the Haytians, and declared for a Republic under the name of Do minica. Herard Riviere, who succeeded Boyer, was defeated by Santana in his invasion of the new Republic, and Santana became President, but Sou louque, after the lapse of a few years, again in vaded the Dominican Republic, when Santana in flicted a second and total defeat on the Haytians. After a term under Baez as President, Santana again succeeded in 18b3, and in 1858 Valverde took the chair, but, in 1861, after seventeen years' trial of self-government, Spain, on the invitation of the citizens, resumed possession. A people so accus tomed to license did not long endure Spanish rule, and after several events Baez again found himself Pre sident of the Dominican Republic. A successful revolution deprived him of office, and he fled to St. Thomas, General Cabral being elected. In January, 1866, Mr. Seward visited San Domingo, and bad an interview with President Baez, whom he informed that the United States regarded such Republics founded on the equal rights of man as outward buttresses, which it was in the interest of the American Government to multiply and to strengthen as fast it could be done without the exer cise of fraud or force. The Dominican Republic extends over an area of nearly 20,000 square miles, containing a population of about 200,000. It will be seen therefore that Hayti or the west end is much smaller, though far more productive and populous. The irhabitants of the Hayti side number nearly 600,000. The revenue in 1860 was $1,762,500 ; the public debt, $12,000,000. The Haytiau laws are based on the Code Napoleon ; the Roman Catholic religion is professed and others tolerated ; there are four zolleges and 107 State schools are sup ported, wherein are educated about 17,000 pupils. When France ruled the exports were close on 50,000,0001b5. of clayed sugar, and nearly double that quantity of muscovado; 76,835,2191b5. of coffee, and 7,004,2741b5. of cotton. In 1860 the exports of coffee fell to 50,000,0001b5., and the cotton to 1,200,0001b5. 'The western side of the island prospered greatly under French rule, and doubtless if the whole island became a State of the Union. this progress would be resumed in an increased de gree. In the contest against the French for in dependence the Haytians were much aided by an English fleet. Soulouque some 20 years ago pro claimed himself Emperor under the title of Faustin 1., but after an absolute rule of 10 years the Haytians, having had enough of that bauble, turned him out, and he was replaced in 1858 by President Jeff rard. The largest town is that of Port-au-Prince, at the head of the Bay of Gonaives, with a popu lation of 26,000. Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic, is situated on the south t est at the mouth of the Ozama River, which ad mits vessels drawing 12 feet of water, but, like all the rivers of the island, is impe ded by a sand bar. The town is enclosed by walls and bastions, with regular streets, and stone houses of one storey. There are 14 churches and chapels ; among them the Cathedral, commenced in 1514, where lay the remains of Columbus for two centuries. The pa lace of Don Diego, the son of Columbus, and the Convent of San Francisco, are mementoes of a former magnificence, first interrupted by Sir Francis Drake, who assaulted, pillaged, and almost de stroyed the city in 1586, a ruin nearly completed by the earthquakes of a century after. There are still, however, remains which attest this city's an cient wealth as the first permanent settlement of the Spaniards in America, although now the popu lation is but 10,000. We give this rapid sketch, carrying the history of the island down to within recent times, as it is probable that the action of the United States may impart a fresh interest to Hayti. We may add that St. Domingo is not only the next largest island to Cuba, but is only separated from it by a Strait called the Windward Passage, and any country possessing Cuba and St. Domingo could carcely fail to control all the West Indian islands, and rule in these seas.
