DECREASE OF PoPULATION.--Portsmo
Va, on the breaking out of the recent pesti-
lence contained a population Of $1,000, of
which 200 at least have died, and about
300 are among the missing g., have not
returned. The population Of Norfolk at the
same period was 5000, Of which 1900 have
died. and there are still nearly, 5000 not re-
turned. A desolation, all things considered,
far exceeding in its result the great plague Of
London.

How 1t came About Having heard much
conversational speculation relative to the
cause Of the action of the last Democratic ran
resentatives' caucus, in adopting the resolu.
ton .pledging themselves to vote to hold the
late protracted session of the House, we take
it for granted, that much interest in the sub.
Ject is felt among the politicians of all parties
by whom We are surrounded; and, therefore.
proceed to explain it as follows, viz: MANY
OF the opposition newspapers have, of late,
been endeavoriDg to make their readers be-
lieve that the failure to organize results wholy
from the determination of the Democrats of In.
House % prevent the large opposition majority
from agreeing, as they would agree, if once
forced to remain whole night in session.
SO, to stop any such misrepresentation of the
true state of affairs in the Hall, they con-
cluded to afford the nominally desired occa
sion in which the majority might organize, i,
they would. They, therefore, remained in
session, on Wednesday last, for twenty con.
secutive hours, therein voting for their NOM
inee whenever their names were called in a
vote for Speaker. The result shows that thu
charges against them, to which we refer above
has no foundation, in fact.
Inc Democrats.-In conversation with man,

time. Or, in other words, that as it will b,

Great Buck-African Breakdown at Ca

O00,500 BUCCANEERS IN COUNCIL i!
The Buck African party Of Wyandot

rally at Carey last week, but it turned out
a complete squizzle. Never did party
go to such expense and trouble to get up
big meetings as our opponents are doing
in this campaign, and never were there
such disgraceful failures. 1t is 6zzle all

The Nndicator reports the number in
attendance at the Carey meeting at 1000,
but the Editor of that truth loving sheet
got on cypher too many--probably
by mistake. t#
We are reliably informed that not over
eight or ten hundred people were in Ca

day, about half the people went to see
