THE UNIrEp srArEs rrmEs.

THE UNITED STATES TIMES.
We call attention to the Prospectus which
Weekly Newspaper with this title, which J. d.
B. DEBow, esq, intends to edit and publish in a
short time, in this city, in connection with his
widely-known and extensively circulated Re-
pieac now published at New Orleans.
Mr.. DEBOw contemplates retiring in short
time from the Census Office, and will devote
himself to the prosecution Of those studies and
labors which have given him consideration as
Writer and Statistician, and enabled him to
acquire reputation in matters connected with
the industrial developments and resources of
the country, extending every day, and greatly
strengthened by his very successful administra-
ton of the Office of the Census, and the valua-
BILE reports he has issued from that bureau.
The RerieW, which has been built up to great
prosperity by his indomitable efforts, has be-
come everywhere a standard authority; and
when the editor shall resume his management
and control, for some time interrupted by his
acceptance of Office, it will be excelled by no
similar publication.
If anything were wanting to ensure conf
proposed by Mr.. DeBow, it would be sufficient
to examine the testimonials which have been
paid to his past labors in every section Of the
Union. We extract few from the circular
before us:
