The CoLoRED POPULATION OF THE NORTH
| The Buffalo Courier has valuable article on
the facts disclosed by the late census in refer
cnce to the colored population of this country.
Their position in the free States has never been
calculated to advance their own interests, or to
elevate them in the estimation of those about
them. They cluster in the purlieus of our large
cities, living precariously and by the perform
ance Of the most menal labor; or if they do dive
into the bush or squat upon the prairie, it is to
live in filth and Incidence, content to chop wood
by the cord, or to exact the means of subsist-
ence from the negligent cultivation of four or
five acres of land. Partly, no doubt, in conse-
quence of these circumstances, partly from
their general unftness for the climate and pur-
suits Of northern latitudes, the records show n
rate of progress rs to numbers which contrasts
most strangely with that of the whites by whom
they are surrounded, and even with that which
| prevails amongst their own race in the slave
States.
The Courier shows that in New England,
where the socinl condition Of the negro has the
! benefit Of full measure Of abolition sympathy
his race has not increased as in the South
| While the total increase Of the whites in New
England has been at the rate Of sixty-fiye per
cent. within the last thirty years, that of the
blacks has been but six and a half per cent,
Notwithstanding the constant influx of fugitives
As compared with the census Of 1910, the CEN
sus of last year exhibits an absolute decrease
In New Hampshire, whore no attempt has yet
been made to catch a runaway, the decrease
amounts to about two-ffths Of the whole.

PORTSMOUTH, Va, Oct. 8, 1851.
TO the Editors Of the american Telegraph.
GENTLEMEN: The U. s. sloop Cyane, Capt.
John Stone Paine, bound to the Gulf of Mexico,
via Havana, left her anchorage off the Naval
Hospital this morning, and proceeded to sea-
The U. s. frigate Savannah, Capt. Hugh N.
Page, from the Pacific ocean, arrived in Hamp-
ton roads this morning. No particulars of her
passage, &C., have yet been received.
The Seaboard and Roanoke railroad, termi-
mating in this town, is doing much towards Civ
ing an impetus to business here. Large freights,
both of produce and passengers, are daily ar
irving, and the influx of passengers is so great
that it is with difficulty the Old Crawford
though under the ndefatigable Charles Ether
edge, can accommodate them. This road has
been in operation but few months, and judges
consider its prospects very encouraging To
the company that gave it life and vigor to COM
pete with it's elder and more experienced rivals
much is due.
Mons Adrien, the king of necromancers, has
been among us, to delight and astonish with his
wonderful feats, in Oxford Hail. This hall is,
by the way, a new and spacious building, reared
through the enterprise Of Messrs. w. Watts and
others, on High street. and is destined to be
great auxiliary in relieving our citizens from
the ennui of dull and monotinous evenings
The races are progressing with continual
ton of fine spirit. They terminate on Friday
