These statistics clearly indicate that popu-
lation is rapidly advancing beyond asrlcultu-
raj production, and that no farmer need fear
low, unremunerative prices from over produc
ton. But here an important question is pre-
scented, whether this low per centage OF in
crease was caused by short crops of 1862
This question can be answered only by annu-
al statistics.
During the past spring and summer. it was
generally believed that in the leading animal
product of this State. those Of cattle and hogs,
a great abundance existed. The papers which
most influenced prices in these products so
represented it. Yet when cattle and hog
have passed from the farmer to the Spectator
great scarcity IS ascertained to exist, and
the latter is reaping the profits from the as
certained fact.
Your Auditors Report published too late,
shows that scarcity and not abundance exist
ed The decrease of cattle from 1855 to 1856
was over sixteen thousand and of hogs over
three hundred and nineteen thousand, and
these go TO confirn the important facts
exhibited by the census returns Of 1850. Had
certain and positive statistical information
been in possession Of our farmers early in the
summer, Of these and other like facts, how
much would their pecunia-y interest have been
consulted?

TIE New YORK HERALD.-A few mornings
since, the following appeared in the columns
Of the New York Herald:
1.-The first movements Of this spring bust
ness are always felt by the newspapers, and
are particularly marked by the grut increase
of Me daily circulation Of the New York
Herald, and in the accumulation Of our adj
refreshments. Our circulation at this time
reaches the splendid figure of nearly 5000
copies per day, and our advertisements are
some twenty-five per cent. creator to-day
than at the same point Of the season of any
former year,
Every one was astonished at the circulation
of Benefits paper. The Times goes back to
the record and shows that on the 18th of JAN
uary. 1857, Bennett made an affidavit in that
city, stating his circulation to be 1865 CO.
pies daily. That on the 3Uth Of December,
1854, he also testified, that the Herad's cir.
culation was 1900 daily, making an Increase
backwards, Of z $50 copies. The moral OF
this is, that persons who lie as prodigiously
as Bennett has done about the circulation OF
the Herald, would serve their own ends bet
ter by concealing the means of selfdctection.
