We learn with much pleasure the arrival in this
city of Capt. Howard STANsBURY, who has return
ed after an absence Of two years in the West,
during which he was engaged in the exploration Of
the SALT LAKE VALLEY. The Captain is in fine
health and spirits but, owing to an.nury received
near Fort Laramie, he is so lame as to be unable to
walk without support; he is, however, last re-
covering, and hopes, we understand, to be out in
few days. He brings ample materials with him for
a full report of the expedition, besides numerous
mineral and botanical specimens, and various other
natural productions, illustrative of the region he was
ordered to explore. The party have enjoyed fine
health, and, though meeting with many Indians on
the route both ways, had no serious difficulty with
any of them. He left the Mormons in very pros
porous condition, and expecting large additions to
their numbers.

LIBE RIA.

President RoBERTs, of Liberia, says that the fears
which he formerly entertained respecting the sue
cess of the Colony as experiment at sef-govern-
ment have altogether subsidized. A lack of indus
try and energy was once apparent, but agriculture
is now every where throughout the Commonwealth
receiving more attention. The public are also Civ
ing attention to educational interests, and the
aboriginal inhabitants are awakening to sense Of
their importance.
The Governor writes: sour prospects were
never more fattering, and we may reasonably hope
that Liberia will attain TO powerful Republican
Government, that will, in all that constitutes true
glory, rival the United States of Amerca-and

We have already seen indications of slight OPP
position Ito the Presidents late Message 10 Con
gress in various quarters but we say in all honest
sincerity that the passages objected to are among
those best entitled to the appreciation of the whole
country With these slight and very small excep-
tons, the message is received in all quarters, and
among men of every shade of party bias, with
favor rarely accorded to document of the kind
The President really seems to have disarmed OPP
posers of both extremes, and thus far at least we
see little but encomium. The friends of law and
order and good government will Of course be graft
fled by its strong conservative spirit and the de-
termination it proclaims to see all law executed in
every part of the Union, and at all hazards; while
even those who may entertain different views and
different feelings, will find nothing in it to complain
OF, for all classes treated with quite as much
kindness as they could ask for, and quite as much
courtesy some of them deserve. Indeed, all we
have to ask is that the general voice Of commenda-
ton may not include the nullifers and disunionists
of the North and the South. That then will dis
like it we doubt not, and we have quite as little
doubt that their dislike will furnish one of the best
proofs OF its patriotism and its ability.

DIR. POINsETT's LETTER

We are not sure that the truly patriotic Letter o.
the Hon. ]. X. PoINsETT would have attracted our
eye in the columns of the Charleston Mercury, Of
the 9th instant, had it not been for the cavalier and
contemptuous manner in which il is treated in lead
ing editorial of the same paper, avowedly because
il calmly and wisely advises the writer's fellow
citizens TO avoid the dangerous paths which they
are invited TO tread. The following sample of this
Editorial will serve to show the temper of the Dis
unionists, of which the Mercury is leading
organ:
"USIoSIsM-We have another letter o-day-a letter
from the Hon. JOEL R. PoIssETT written to set all right
about the general benevolent and aconate character
Of the Northern peopeto show that the
of Congress- which had taken be aggressive and insult
ing in the present. and part of systematic development of
sectional hostility to which, in the very nature Of things there
could be end but in the dissolution Of the Unon the
hopeless degradation Of the South reality very good
measures pesceab reasonable and rather constitutional than
otherwise" &c. We really do not see 10 what use these
appeals for the Unon resting such grounds can be put
&c. &C.
We need hardly remind our readers that Mr..
PoINsETT, the South Carolinian thus scurvily treat
ed in his own circle, and by the party to which he
has always been attached was Secretary of War
under the Administration of Mr.. VAN buren,, hav-
ing been Minister of the United States to Mexico
under former Administration; citizen net only
of character and talents, but of great experience in
public affairs, known and honored by all men Of
intelligence for his enlightened public spirit, and
distinguished by the urbanity and courtesy which
he displays in all his personal intercourse with his
fellow-men. Such man as this it accords with
the purposes of the Disunionists to fout and eer,
when he is uttering the most solemn and salutary
truths, because he has not forgotten that he has
country to love as well as party to serve!
We trust that oar readers in the South will give
heed to counsels which the enemies of the Union
deride only because he who gives them is not the
enemy of his country.

THE GROWTH OF THE UNITED STATES.

HE OROWId VI IHE UNITED STATES.
The census returns, already received from seven
teen States of the Union, show an increase of popu
laton since 1910 Of 3,l30,S9S, which, added 10 the
aggregate population ten years ago of l7,093,35
would alone make now 20,224,25l. Estimating the
increase in other States by the same ratio the ag-
gregate population of the nation in June last may be
put down at not less than twenty-four millions, or
an increase Of nearly seven millions in the last ten
years.
In some of the States the increase has been very
rapid in others quite inconsiderable In Maine they
have $4,000, being an increase in ten years of
llO,2O7, or over twenty per cent Massachusetts
has 100000, being an increase of 220, l72 also
upwards of twenty per cent. Connecticut has
$4,000, or an advance of 65 985 also upwards Of
twenty per cent. Pennsylvania has 100000,
showing an increase of 575,967, or over thirty
three per cent. Ohio has 100000, showing an
increase of 670,732, or over forty per cent. Wis
consin has 100000; the had but 10000 ten years
ago.
North Carolina, on the other hand, has 100000,
being increase of 46,5sl, or only about six per
cent. South Carolina has only 639, O99, being an
increase Of only 44,701-less than eight per cent.
We have returns from only one other Southern
State, and that is Georgia. the population Of which
is now 100000, showing an increase of 30S, 60S
or about forty-fve per cent.
| The ratio of increase in the whole Union, est.
mated from the returns received Of seventeen States
is about thirty per cent. That of Georgia is if
teen per cent. ahead Of the average that Of South
Carolina is twenty-five, and North Carolina twenty
four per cent. below the average. In the North
ern States heard from the rate Of increase is uni
formly over twenty per cent.-Neu York Post.

Some of the Southern organs insist, as cond-
ton Of the continuance OF the Union, that no api-
taton Of the subject of slavery shall be tolerated at
the North. Now this condition is altogether un-
reasonable and absurd. There are fanatics at the
North, who, as long as the liberty Of speech and
the liberty of the press are permitted, will speak
and write about slavery, even though an over
whelming majority Of the people Of that section
may regret and condemn their course. Surely the
people of the South have no right to demand or to
expect that the non-slaveholding States shall pass
laws to punish any and every citizen who may
choose to speak or write against slavery. If the
Union can be saved upon no other terms, it must
be given up.-LouisviNe Journal

The UNION SPIRIT IN VIRGINIA.-The proceed
ings and resolutions of the late Union meeting at
Stanton present fair embodiment Of the patriotic
spirit Of this Commonwealth. The great heart Of
Virginia is sound at the core, and all its pulsatons
beat for the honor and glory OF the common coun-
try Virginia plants herself upon the Constitution
and the laws, and will not move from that platform
until it is struck from beneath her by the hand OF
Northern fanatcism. 1t rests with the North, by
further aggressions, or by repeal or modification
OF the Fugitive Slave Law, to dissolve this glorious
Union.-Richmond Republican.
