Divisions In the Wing Ranks.-The "
Herald,

We question very much indeed, whether The Will
mington Herald will make any capital by the nsrep-
resentaon, in its issue Of day, of article of Mon
day last, regard to the attempt of certain faction in
the Wing party TO draw the line Of political fidelity so
closely TO ostracist all those members of that party
who could not support General Scott. We are vain
enough to suppose that every intelligent reader will
examine article for himself before forming udg-
ment upon its merits, and he will that ii is 10 this
hemmedi in and proscrpve faction, that we are una
bic TO ied that respect which concede TO the large
and intelligent, though, we believe mistaken body of
men, constituting the Wing party. Many, very ma
ny, indeed of those who voted for General Scott, will
be unable 10 yield the consent Of their judgment to
the dictatoraI spirit of few who, after first bring,
ing upon the Wing party the runous effects produced
by the nomination of Gen. Scott would now complete
their work by perpetuatng the evil party nsti-
tuition, and the test of Wing orthodoxy. Such test
no people OF any party at the South will submit to.

action can do much 10 hasten the develop

purposes, and governed by views which en-

IMPORTANT CENSUS STATISTICS.


Population OF Cities ard Towns In the United
States, In 1850.
The details Of the census Of 1850 still remaining
unpublished have obtained the following abstract
of the Off, ia returns, showing the aggregate popu
lation Of the towns in the several States, emitting
those which are unmportant as to the number Of in
habitants
We precede the list by table of the comparative
population, in ls40 and 1850, of those cities and
towns In the United States in which the number OF
Inhabitants exceeded ten thousand in ls40. 1t will
be observed that the number of cities and towns In
the United States where the population exceeded ten
thousand, in 1850, was So; whereas the number Of
those places in ls4O only 81.
The term towns, or townships" it should be
observed ia applied in the nonslave hoding States
to subdivisions Of countless which divisions do not
exist in the slaveholding States and in those
States the term town is generally applied to the
county seat, or other compact settlement =

living wounded or dead; but as they were
ignorant of the strength of the concealed
enemy. and could hardly even tell from
what direction the danger came, they d.
nally beat retreat, and drew of into the
woods again.
The check was all that could have been
desired. That force was not engaged dn-
ring the battle of Plattsburg: AMI after
learning the disastrous fate of thai day. 1t
made preeipitate retreat northward into
Canada.
Il was noticed that as soon as the Sc
ven Hurons were slain. Stockbridge Hank
seemed 10 take no further interest in the
fray. Shortly after the firing commen-
ced. he disappeared. and did not accom-
pany the soldiers back To the army. The
next day. however. he appeared again
before the officer, accuutrcd as at the
time of his arrival in the camp. but with
the addi ion of seven bloody scalps attach
ed TO his belt. and with the war paint
washed from his face. His mission seem
ed to be accomplished.
He was thanked for his services. and
received promises of a liberal reward. To
all that was said he remained silent lis
tener. and only pointed to the glorious
trophies which l,e wore. seeming 10 signi-
fy that they were sufficient compensation.
In truth. the Huron was the hereditary
foe of the Mohican. and he had been
fighting instinctively for the tradition OF
his fathers.
After this second visit he was never
again seen in the army. The story of this
exploit MAS long the talk AMI wonder of
the army.
