We do not approve Of such marked de-

like that in which young Mercer was en-

improper, and out of place.
The family Of Mr.. Mercer have evinc-

.4wful CGlculation.-An ingenious, au-
thentic, and valuable statistic work pub
lished few years since, says that the
number of inhabitants who have lived on
the earth amount to about 26,G2S, Sl3,-
375,U76, $40. This sum, the writer says.
when divided by 3,096,0O0, the number of
square leagues of land on the surface of
the globe, leaves Il, 20,59S,732 persons
to each square league. There are 27,-
$4,000 square miles of land, which be-
ing divided as above, it will give about
five persons to each square foot Of terra
frma on the globe. Let the earth be sup
posed to be one vast burying ground, and,
according to the above statement, there
will be 1888 persons to be buried on each
square rod; supposng It capable of being
divided INTO twelve graves, ii appears that
each grave contains 100 persons, and that
the whole earth has been one hundred
times dug over 10 bury its inhabitants:
supposing they had been equally distllb-
uted.

IN consequence Of Il report having reach

until after dark, when an order was issu-

LAND SALES.

The government sales Of land which
have just taken pace in Iowa Territory,
have not resulted very prolilabIy 70 the
Treasury. In the Fairfield district, where
by far the best business was done, but
10000 acres were disposed of, out OF
$4,000 acres offered. In the Dubuque
district. Of 725,000 acres otlerercd, but
"a, GOO were disposed of. We're there
nothing else to erincc the hard times, we
think the above result would do it TO a
certainty. The township Of which the
greatest amount of land was entered, is
that in which Marion, Linn county, is
situated. The next largest entry was
made in the township Immediately south
Of Iowa city.

NAV A..
BItI.AliS.

We sec il stated in letter from Nor.
folk, Va, that the sIoop Of war Decatur
Commander II. Is. Sawyer, is to be sub.
slltGtcd for the loop Saratoga, in the AZ
rlcan squadron. This change seems to
be one OF great propricty. The smaller
ships of war, and gun briggs, appear to us
to be the most suitable vessels to cruise
on the coast Of Africa. The Saratoga is
spoken OF as the model ship Of our Navy
OF her class, twenty guns. She should
be sent where her beauty and efficiency
could be mos; seen by the navics of Eu>
rope. Our impressions have been, for
some time, in favor Of building and en-
pIoying twenty gun ships, as the most
efficient, active, and economical ships that
can be employed by our government. In
looking at the estimates for the Navy, we
see that about fire Of those twenty gun
ships can be supported al the cost Of ono
ship Of The line. We therefore approve
Of the suggestions Of the Secretary OF the
Navy, in Withdrawing ships Of the line,
and employing frgales, sloops Of war,and
gun brlss, IN lime of peace. In looking
towards the East Indies and China, and
into the Pacific Ocean, we cannot but ex-
press nope that our naval force will be
increased in that quarter. China needs
our especial attention at this t!me.-U. S.
