WARNING.-The ST. Louis Democrat relates a
distressing occurrence which lately occurred in
that city. A little girl, in attempting TO draw
water, fell into a well. A man in the neighbor-
hood Immediately descended the rope to rescue
her, but, he neared the water he fell and those
above saw him after few struggles sink 10 the
bottom, and before assistance could be rendered,
both were drowned. II supposed that the
poisonous gas sufTocated him before he fell. Per-
sons descending wells should ascertain, before
they venture, if any gas exists therein.

Decline OF the Free Coiored Population In
tho United States.

A critical analysis of the census returns
since 1890, furnishes some singular facts in re-
spect to the free colored population of the
United States The general impression is, that
that this population has increased in large
ratio, whereas the truth is, the ratio of increase
has been steadily declining. For example, the
rate of increase from 1890 to 1900 was 1928
per cent; from 1900 to 1910 it was 72.0O per
cent; from 1910 to 1920 it was 1926 per
cent; from 1920 to 1880 it was 1886 per cent.
from 1880 to 1910 it was 20.87 per cent. and
from 1910 to 1850 it was only l247 per cent.
We annex several tables which we find in the
Philadelphia Bulletin, manifestly prepared with
much labor and care, exhibiting many interest

the jury rendered verdict Of not guilty.
Aweek ago thirteen negroes were tried for riot
on the farm of Colonel Hickie, some time last
autumn. The jury, after trying for tweniy.four
hours to agree on verdict, were discharged for
want Of unanimity
Last Friday the same party were again tried to-

yesterday evening we saw them all looking ou, of

Miiitary.-We learn that two of the volunteer
corps OF this city are the eve of dissolution, to
be reorganized under new names and with new
native without the admixture Of any persons OF
foreign birth.
These proceedings emanate from recent polti-
cal movements in Washington. As justification
for them, we are referred TO the existence of two
other companies, the members of which were eli
ther born abroad, or who are the immediate de-
scendants of alien parents, and who, il is charged,
preserve characteristics incompatible with Amer
ican nationality.
The re- reorganization TO which we have referred,
therefore, may be regarded an Offset TO the ex-
clusvely or partially foreign military associations.
While we have ever viewed our well-drilled
and appropriately uniformed volunteer companies
with pride. regarding them as reserve for times
of possible danger to our domestic peace, we can,
not commend the separation Of our citizens into
armed bands divided by the distinctive line of tho
accident of BIRTH. and especially when religious
opinions prompt the arrangement on either side
