A Very IMPoRrMNT BILL PAssED.-The Wash
ington Star of the 7th inst says: "A partial clear
ing up of the smoke of the last houfs.Of the ses-
son has discovered to us the fact that the origi-
nal land graduation bill of Mr.. Cobb, of Alabama;
has actually passed, and having been signed by
the President, has already become law. Its pro-
visions are essentially those so long contended for
by Senator Brown, Of Mississippi, and the author
of the bin referred to. This is the first occasion
on which general land graduation bin has pass
ed, and its effect must be very important, indeed
upon the future management of the Government
public lands.p

THE SANDWICH ISLANDS There is differ
enee of opinion as to the state of the pending ne
gotiations for the annexation of the Sandwich
Islands to this country. The New York Tribune
says:
aThe only question yet to be determined be-
tween the United States commissioner and the
Sandwich Isles was, whether they should be an
nexed as a State or as a Territory"
The n. Y. Evening Post on the other hand
says that this is inaccurate-that there is a dis
cussion about the price to be paid for the Islands
and those who inHabit them, which may delay the
negotiations. The authorities of the Islands are
said to ask five millions.

GROWTH OF THE UNIoN.-The census of 1850,
as compiled by Mr. De Bow, deyelopes some won
derful and interesting facts in regard to the rapid
growth and extent of the United States In l7O1,
the colonies contained population of only 262,-
600 souls. In 1749, another estimate was made,
and the result was population Of l,O46,e0O. In
1775, the report was 2so3,0Oe being nearly
100000 less than the present population Of New
York? In 1890, under the first census, the popu-
lation was 3,929,827 There were then seventeen
States and Territorial governments; in 1900,
tWenty-one States and Territories; in 1910 twenty
five; in 1910, thirty; and in 1850, thirty-six. We
have now thirty-nine having added to the list Ne
braska, Kansas and Washington.
Our territorial extent says Mr.. De Bow, is
nearly ten times as large as that of Great Britain
and France combined; three times as large as the
whole of France Britain, Austria, Prussia, Spain.
Portugal, Belgium, Holland and Denmark togeth-
er: one and a half times as large as the Russian
Empire in Europe; one sixth less only than the
area covered by the .Jijty-aias or strty Empires,
States and Republics in Europe; of equal extent
with the Roman Empire, or that of Alexandria,
neither of which exceeded three millions Of square
miles. We have an ocean and gulf shore line ol
1869 miles, an island shore line of 9247 miles

MANCHESTER.

In this day of rising cities and spirited com.
mercial rivalries, let not the ancient town of
Manchester be forgotten-nay, let.not Man
chester forget herself. Rather let her look
ahead at the competitor next before her in the
race, and put forth all her strength to over
take and pass her if she can. Manchester is
the ancient Rocky Ridge of the south side of
James River at the falls. She has many ad
vantages-most of them given her by nature,
some of them secured by herself, and others
which Richmond has purchased, and which
she participates in. In these last named her
share may be increased to an incalculable
degree, if she will only establish a Free
Bridge across James River
AS Petersburg rivals Richmond, let our
neighbor Manchester go to work to compete
with Petersburg. It is great thing to have
an object ahead to strive for: it is like stake
to plough to. Let the eye be fixed upon it,
and you can go ahead not only with vigor,
but with directness and accuracy that econ.
omises both time and lator The go.ahead
movement has a vast amount of spirit and
energy infused into it by this striving for the
object in view. sol.1
Then let our ancient friend, Rocky Ridge,
lift up her head and take her place boldly in
the line among the gallant commercial rivals
Of the day. She has begun magnifcently
Her water power is vastly greater than that
Of Petersburg. She viii grind more wheat
this year than Petersburg can and her cot
ton manufactures come near rivalIing those
OF the Cockade city in quantity. Why should
she not 60 in then for grand contest She
has got the advantages for building up q great
city: water power, deep water for wharves,
we'll graded streets. two railroads, and cheap
and convenient fuel
) Then, citizens Of Manchester, put your
hand 10 this work. Let the discovery OF the
Diamond in your streets mark new era IL
your history. Stand up like men, and pui
forth your strength like men Of energy and
spirit. Let not old fogyism weigh you down
as it continues to dwell in the dilapidatet
