Out of very humorous exchange list COM

found bat one to defend the bombardment and
burning Of an unprotected village OF straw cot
tsges by the navy Of the United States. Even
the Washington Union is silent and damns
the outrage by its refusal to speak. u Is 80
much in the habit of landing all connected
with the Administration, from the President TO

find no justification for an act which seems to
he universally regarded as a disgrace to our
arms. If the Administration had attempted TO
indicate the insnlted honor OF the United
States when the Black Warrior outrage was
committed, or If it should 500 fit to relieve
American citizens from dungeons where they
are now suffering, it would have met with the
appreciation of oil vol thinking citizens, The
Democracy, at least, would stand in justifica-

HOW CENSUS STATISTICS ARE MADE.


Under the head Of Real and Persona -
tate,o in the Abstract Of the Census, the thu
Superintendent says The table Of real ard
personal estate owned by individuals is made
up from official returns Of property for taxation.
Where the assessment has been made on q
sum less than the intrinsic worth, the assistant
marshals psye instructed to. add the necessary
per centageO AS specimen OF the manner IN
which these instructions were followed up, we
propose to compare the assessed value OF real
estate in South Carolina with the Census esti-
mate.
In the Census Reports both the abstract and
the larger work, the acash value Of land, I'M
proved and unimproved," is stated to be
1872, All ,eB4, which is an average Of IS 0s per
acre. In the legislative documents Of South
Carolina for the same year, the cash value OF
real estate, exclusive Of town lots, is all told,
set down at only $l0,0S2427! This would be
about sixty cents per acre. There is no room
left, in either case, for the superstition OF
typographical error, bccanse, in the legislative
documents, as well as in the larger Census Re-
port, the value of land in the several counties
is given, and they foot up as above, viz: ten
millions and odd in the one case, and eighty
two millions in the other Is not this most
remarkable discrepancy, and does it not call
for explanation from the Census Bureauy
Bat discrepancy is not the worst feature of
the case. There is evidence Of bad faith. AT
page as of the Abstract, there is table Of
real and personal estate in the several States,
under two headings one entitled the "assessed
yalue,o and the other the "true or estimated
value. The assessed Ualue of property, OF all
descriptions, of which slaves constitute the
largest item, in South Carolina, is stated to be
1888 So, 7O9; and the strue, or estimated"
value is put down at $2s8, 257694, or only
about four and half millions more than the
assessed value. Now, we have pointed to the
fact above, that there is a discrepancy between
the assessed and tho estimated value OF real
estate, equal to about seventy-two millions! 1t
is hence evident, that the marshals OF South
Carolina made the most Of their instructions,
as to aadding the necessary per centage," and
that they we're determined that the Palmetto
State should not be hindmost. But it is un-
fortunate that they have not been moro con-
.istent, and acted upon some uniform rule.
We call upon the present Superintendent of
the Census to explain these palpable errors,
which arc so well calculated to destroy the
public confidence in the value of the Census
reports. 1t is public shame that such false
hoods should BIO palmed eff upon the people, at
the expense Of more than million to the
treasury. q.

NUTS FOR NORTHERN WINGS.

The more moderate Wings Of the South ore
willing to continue their connection with their
Northern brethren, on the condition that the
Nebraska bill is to DO acquiesced in. They are
even willing, in spirit Of noble generosity, to
lot bygones be bygones and to receive back
into the fold the most rebid OF those who have
opposed the bill
The Iateiiigeneer Of this city, which stoutly
and ably opposed the passage Of the bill, is
now in favor Of acquicsccncc, while all the
moderate and reasonable Southern Wings are
willing to forgive past opposition, on condition
Of promise not to do 30 any moro"
Tho Mobile advertiser, leading Wing
paper, has an article on the subject which
has gone the rounds Of Southern Wing Press
and from which we quote some passages:
eve have earnestly contended that the
Compromise Of 1850 established the doctrine
of non-intervention, az understood at the South,
as regards the territory 10 which IL specially
applied, and to all future acquisitions and
this Interpretation is we think, admitted by
tho so-calicd National Wings who opposed the
Nebraska bill While, then, we do not con-
slider the mere act Of voting against that meas
ure violation Of Wing faith, or proper test
Of Wing soundness, we believe the principle IL
contains lie entirely consistent with the Balti-
more platform, and eminently just In itself !;
and as il lie now the law of the land, made 70
by q majority Of the Northern vote cast IN Con-
gress, we are opposed to all agitation for re-
peal and cannot consent TO engraft any such
policy upon our political creed"
@Indced, we have already encouraging in
dications OF q favorable change in the conser-
vatiye Wing press Of the North, whose recent
violence has been the source Of o great sur
prise and regret to us, and we have an abiding
confidence that the patriotic and national feel
ing once no conspicuous in its conductors, will
sooa reeume their accustomed control. II can
not be, that men who stood 80 nobly by the
South and the Union in the great struggle Of
1850. will long endure the embrace Of reckless
fanatics, and all because Of measure yield
ing only a. just principle to the South, but
largely rcdounding in it's practical effects, to
the growth and prosperity Of the North. For
ourselves, we are satisfied with the platform
erected by the National Wing Convention OF
1852. The workmanship Of able and accom-
plished Southern statcsmon, il furnishes scope
and verge enough for our political necessities
and we do not believe any sectional Conven-
tion can improve upon it. The principles it
cmbodics were cordially and unitedly en-
braced by tho Southern Wings, and are Just

The President of the United States, in reply

Houses Of Congress, yesterday laid before Con-
gross voluminous correspondence from the
State and Navy Departments, conveying in

of San Juan del Norte, by the United States

This correspondence is given in whole or in
part in several Of the papers Of the day; but
we shall, as our space requires and our read
