Mortality Statistics OF tine United States
How We Live and How We DAe.

Mortality Statistics OF tine United States
How We Live and How We DIE.
We have before US the mortality statistics
of the seventh census Of the United States'-
embracing the cause of death, the age and sex,
the color and condition, the nativity, the sea-
son OF disease, and the duration of illness of
the persons reported to have died in the year
previous to 1st June, 1864 work Of exceed
ing great value: as well from the variety Of
the information it contains as from the lucid
manner in which that information is presented.
Such works do quite as much honor to the
country as to the census Office which is intrust-
ed with the duty of preparing them. 1t is not
absolutely accurate of course. Many persons
foolishly thwart the aim of the Marshal, from
private reasons of their own, by refusing to
communicate the information required. Others
are ignorant and forget. A few escape the
notice of the public officer. But, even allow
ing for these causes Of inaccuracy, this work
throws more light on the paramount subjects
of health and disease than any volume OF set
of volumes that have gone before it
The public may be already aware that in
1850 the total population of the United States
white, free colored and slave-was %, l9l 1916;
that of these 2,244, GAS we're foreign born, and
l7,742,915 white natives; that nearly nine mil
lions were over and under 20, and nearly nine
millions over 20 and under so, leaving five mill
lions and o half for infancy and old age; that
up to the age of 80, the males are in slight ex-
GEES, but that after that age the females slight
~ preponderate; that Of the free white males,
l,596,266 are engaged in trade, manufactures,
mechanic arts and mining, 2,4OO583 in agri-
culture, 19O,329 in law, pbysic, divinity and
other callings requiring education, and 1888
in the civil and military service Of the State.
Most of these important statistics have already
been made public.
From the mortality records we learn that
the total deaths during the twelve months pre-
yious to LIST June, 1850, numbered 323,023, Of
whom 264 ,601 were whites. This is in round
figures, nearly one and four-tenths per cent on
the total population, 5he lowest mortality, we
venture to say, that has ever been recorded in
any settled and civilized country. Foreign
countries compare as follows

A Curious AND A PAINFUL TnNe.-Thurlow
Weed is beginning to see wonderful things in
Washington. Writing to his organ, up at AL
bapy, he discloses very painful discovery,
after this fashion =
is curious thing-a thing which tells painfully
against the honesty and patriotism OF day-to
Mr. Haven, the partner and representative of Mr. Fill
when the direct issue in Congress is the Nebraska
vindle-an issue teudered by the
ing all his influence and art defeat the cleo ion of
ebraska Speaker. How often have wished that
every olector in the county of Erie could and hear
their representative moving and whispering around rst
with slavery and then with doughfaces, having
purpose but the defeat, first of Mr. Campbell, and
more and Mr.. haven all they to earnest and
even to ultra professions OF hostility to slavery and
now see them aiding in the extension Of that evil into
free territory, II u impossible to restrain emotions Of
adherence and There not respectful BILE slave
holder in the Union that would sooner see elevated
than such traitors
We were afraid Of this: but Master Weed
will learn TO be patient and reasonable after
a month or two at Washington. The ma
chinery to be managed there is heavier and
more complicated than that at Albany, and
will crate little for the first week or two.
Mr.. Weeds adherence" and "scornr Of the
unfortunate Mr.. Haven need not have extend
ed, meantime, to Mr. Fillmore. We believe he
is in Europe, and entirely innocent of any
Whispering" around the House, with slavery
men, or "doughfaces," to defeat either Camp
bell or Banks Keep cool, brother Weed. The
fusionist troubles are not half over yet.

THE PRESIDENT HAS HEARD AT LAST OF GEN.
WALKER-NR. MCKEON's PROCLAMATION.-The
President of the United States has at last heard
that Gen. Walker is in Nicaragua, and very
strongly suspects that there are certain move
ments on foot in the United States to reinforce
the liberating army of said Walker. Accord
ingly, instructions have been issued to our
United States District Attorney, Mr.. McKeon,
who has come out with his proclamation, which
our readers will find among the news articles
of this paper Who could have given Mr.
Pierce this early and official information that
we are at peace with Nicaragua, that Walker
is filibuster, and that in permitting reinforce
ments to 60 to his army from our shores we
shall be guilty of breach of good faiths
Marcy, We suppose, has been asleep for the
last month or two and Gen. jeff Davis, our
administering Secretary of War, has had no dis
position, of course, to interfere with the
filibustering adventures of Gen. Walker We
believe that Gen. Wool, for prcsuming to inter
cept an outgoing detachment of Gen. Walkers
recruits from San Francisco was roundly lee
tured by Gen. Davis, and sent back into the
interior of California to look after the Indians.
1t is very curious, too, that Mr.. Wheeler
should be sent down as our Minister to
Nicaragua, after the establishment Of General
Walker in that country, and should recognize
the government set up by said Walker, only to
be repudiated by the administration. Did Mr..
Wheeler 60 down there without instructions?
Or, If he had instructions what were they?
We had come to the conclusion, from the con-
tinual shipments of troops from San Francisco
to Walker by our government mail steamers
and other vessels, that this enterprising man
was protege of the administration, enlisted in
the great object of Americanizing all Central
America. Mr.. McKeon's proclamation, how
ever, dsinfects us Of that prcposterous idea.
Gen. Walker, in the meantime, goes ahead.
He has just given Mr.. Pierce and his philosopher
Marcy delightful nut to crack, in detailing
Is the Minister to Washington from Nicaragua,
to succeed Senior Marcoleta, the persevering
and intrepid Parker II. French, who resigned
his place in the Walker Nicaragua Cabinet to
accept this new post Of honor. Will Col.
French be accepted at Washington as the rep
resentatfve of Gen. Walker? If we don't get
a Speaker for a day or two, we hope the Pre-
ssdent will so amend his annual message as to
tell us all about it. Gen. Walker, with the aid
of Gen. Davis, we apprehend, is more than
match for Pierce and Marcy combined. A few
days now will settle the question.
