CINCINNATI.

We were well aware that the population
of the city Of Cincinnati was rapidly on the
increase, but we had no idea the Queen Of
the West was ''gOing ahead'' at such ire
mendous rate as appears to be the case by
the following -
"The growth of Cincinnati is so rapid, that
it has excited a species Of speculative fever
as 10 its probable present population and fu-
ture increase. The editor Of the Chrenicle
puts the population of the city proper at ST.
900, and, with the suburbs, 5000. Mr..
Cist furnishes q statement for the same paper,
in which he estimates the city proper at CO.,
600; and the suburbs, lin which he includes
Covington and Newport, on the Kentucky
side Of the river, but intimately connected
with the city, at IL ,O00--in al 72, O00.--
The Gazette agrees with the estimate Of Mr..
Cist; and, finding that the population has
been increasing at the rate Of about per
cent per year, gives the population in 1890
Eat that rate Of increase) at ,g63, 900. This

WITHDRAWAL.

The Pennsylvania of Saturday says
preparations are being made to withdraw
Mr.. Clay from the course"
Our neighbor is, in some degree, right,
more nearly right than he intended to be,
we fear. Preparations are being made TO
get Mr.. Clay off the cOurse-and the prepa-
rations are not confined to single place.
In the South, Mr.. ]. G.. Calhoun and his
friends are stirring the earth-they have, we
suspect, no influence above, TO get Mr.. Clay
off the course. They are denouncing him
as an enemyof their ''peculiar institutions"
the father of that system by which the lordly
planter is made TO understand that he is a
man amenable to the laws of the country
system which provoked the southern can
didate TO denounce war against the nation,
and led his friends 10 declare that they would
ego to the death for their sugar"
In the middle States, the 'artful dodger"
of Undertook has been preparing his mis-
chieVous machinery to drive Mr.. Clay from
the course, BY representing him as the man
who dared, in the worst Of times, to propose
Temporary act, by which peace should be
restored to the nation-as the man, whose
deep hold on the affections and the feelings
of the people, and influence over the popu-
laE mind, stirred up the freemen in 1910, 10
break up the nest Of teaches that had gorged
upon the public body, and drawn the life

wealth by their cupidity, weakening all the

Experimental Trip of the Ariel Machine.
An account has been forwarded to US from
Scotland of an experiment tried few days
ago, near GLASGOW. with machine construct
ed on the same principle as that Off Hen
son. The experiment was made By Pro-
lessor Geolls, foreigner, and but for an ac-
cident, itowould have established the prn.
ciple commended for-Viz: the capability of
navigating the air. Not wishing, however,
TO make any misrepresentation upon the
point, we give the particulars from nara
tive drawn up BY Professor Geolls himself
The Professor, after stating that he con-
stTucted his machine in exact accordance
with Mr.. Henson's specification, and that he
had paid great attention TO all the crcum-
stances connected with the fight of birds,
says he fixed upon the hills Of Dumbuck,
near GLASGOW, for the trial. He then pro-
ceeds thus
"Ihe 9rlal machine was properly placed
at an altitude of $50 liner feet from the
earth, fixed at the top (near the flag post) in
the usual way, being held by daggers per.

Lard Lamps.

A pair of Carr's Patent Lard Lamps were
lsft with US few days since FOR trial, BY
Mr.. William w. Crawford, Of Vicksburg'
who has been appointed agent fer the sale Of
these articles in the States Of Louisiana, Ala
bama, and Mississippi. This lamp was in
vented at Buffalo, N. Y, and those we have
been using for some evenings past were
manufactured al Cincinnati. They are made
OF Britannia, can be kept as bright as silver,
and are quite ornamental. Thelard in them
burns extremely well, giving light equal to
the best sperm oil. Mr.. C. has a variety Of
these lamps for sale at moderate prices at the
store of J. C, Lewis & Co. in this city. Our
friends would lose nothing BY calling at the
store and examining them.

OF Since the dedication Of the Methodist
Church on Saturday last, our town has wore
quite city aspect. Carriages have been al
most constantly running 10 and from the
church, and the sidewalks have been ire
quently lined with visitors. During the
PrOlractsd Meeting, the efforts Of the minis
tiers have been exceeding strenuous und un-
csasing, and, it is said they have been mea-
surabIy rewarded for their labors in the re-
demption of the sons and daughters Of Man.

communicated the fire across Monroe street,
which spread with fearful "a pdity, carving

Court House square, north Of M'Carty street.

DR.. HAGAN, editor of the Sentinel, was kill

of Vicksburg, by Mr.. Daniel w. Adams, of
jackson. The cause of the fatal affray was
the following article which appeared as Odi-
.torial in the Vicksburg Sentinel
More ThieUing at JGctsOn.-0ur Eriel has
furnished us with another spirited dialogue.
The scene is laid in the east room Of the
GovernOr's Mansion. The .fgurGnfes are
Governer Tucker, Sam. Butterworth, Fa-
.ther Matthews, and Solicitor Adams. One
Of the most startling Developments since
The robbery and runaway of Graves, and the
10000 mors'' solicitation letter of Freeman,
Is friend "the dear Colonel" is the fact that
Governor Tucker has paid George Adams,
Freeman's father-in-law $500 out of the spe-
cie which ought to be in the Treasury! -
II is not vet ascertainsd for what services
this sum has been distracted from the public
Treasury by the Governors order and put
int Mr.. Adams pocket. It is the duty Of
Mr.. Freeman to discharge the law business
Of the State, and if his father-in-laW is to be
paid for il, the son had better resign. We
hope the Mississippian and Southron will
publish the particulars Of this foul traHsac-
lion. We said long ago that Tucker q Co.,
had their reasons for not arreeiing Graves.
We believe they are worse than he.
II has already been boldly asserted, says
the Vicksburg Wing, that the wings had
been trying for lOng time to have Hagan
killed and had succeeded atlast." Relative
to this it is but requisite to say, that Hagan
and Adams were LocOfocos, differing only
en- the repudiating question.
During the trial Of Mr.. Adams, the coun
