John Bull and Brother Jonathan.

During the last thirty years material power has been developed equally with population in the United States of America. Great Britain alone ex- cepted no State in Europe could now maintain the armamentsln m the field for any length of time. This marvellous growth IS deIanging all the old tfadi- tons of" balance of power" America s not only a frst-claSs state--in few years, if 10 internal disorder snail occur she will be the greatest Of all
 Should the lSf9-5 rate of increase be maintained for fifty years, the population will then amount to 190, GOO, ,0Oa-nearly equal to that of the whole of continental Europe' Were it possible to conceive the same ratio maintained for another fifty years, the census of 1850 would give the astounding num- Der of 1 cos, ,000,000i German wars and French revolutions sink into complete insguifcance by the side of considerations like these. With such a comment, how well we may understand the roarS oi laughter" with which the American Senate re gently received the menaceS ot Austria When the United States shook off the yoke of England thelr people numbered no more than 5000, GOO; when they were last measured against European power, they were not more than S,000,0 GOD. Ten years hence they will be equal to France oI Aus trla There hardly seems to be a limit to their growth. The valley Of the Mississippi would alone support the whole population Of Europe, In its vast basin nations are now growing up II al the bidding of entertainment. The valley already con tqins about thirteen millions of finhabtants;-a the beginning Of thls century il did not contain as many thousands!

The Effect of Railroads on the Vaius of
 prnuprgv

The proposition to tax real estate for the con
 structlon of roads, meets with universal fayor--of course, always excepting aifew droneS who have
 amaSsed fortunes by the industry of others. Ali enterprisiug man buys lot in part of the city
 destitute Of elegant residences He erecs-on his lot row of handsome houses--they are occupied by reSpcc able familieS--ohers follow his example
 and q Siesst time desirable neishboThood IS ere ated. Some other enterprSlng man, like John lIoey starts omnibus line, and the tide of pop
 ulation sets to that point. The vacant ground Iy- ing between this remote neighborhood and the heart of the city, is at once enhanced in value :
 and the owners arc thus made rich, not by their own risk, and labor and money, but simply as the consequence of the labor of others.
 The construction of the Jackson Railroad IS only
 an enlargement of the same principe-it Is only its application to larger field of operation The
 history of railroads in Massachusetts is fraught with useful information. In 1884, 1t was worth Sl02, ,S2700. This was the year when the Great Western Railroad was completed. In 1850 the
 assessment was $13s, GOO 900
 The Stateof Massachusetts, in lS4O. was valued at S299, s9s, 329 in ls49, $500, ,5s1 ,s79
 This rapid appreciation IS due to the railroads, which radiate from Boston, in every direct;on.- The manufactures were all in complete operation prior to iS40 and they have diminished, rather than increased, since that time. The roads have
 cost S4 ,0O00on, and pay very handsome interest while they have thus wonderfully increased the i value Of the whole State. Why should not like causes produce like results elsewhere The laws of trade are certain and mmutable as those of
 matter. Construct a road from New Orleans to Opelousas-one from New Orleans to Jackson and they will both extended themselves the one West, and the other North and East, gathering strenth as they go ..ad expanding the area of New i Orleans influence and trade.
 Subscriptions are coming in very encouragingly 1;
 and perhaps these roads can be built by voluntary cDufrlhtitIOn Huf if a sufficient an he
 gained Tn this manner, then resort must be had to
 assessment We must open an iron street to 0pe-
 gousaS, and another to Jackson and we must, un- der the well recognized principle of our law pre-
 eeed to assess all whose property is improved by
 the new aveages--. N. O. Crescent.

Emigration from Ireland to the U. state.
