GIGANTIC COMMERCE OF AMER.
- ICA.

The following statement, which is the
closing portion Of the leading article in
Hunts Merchants Magazine for tho
current month, presents a comparative
view of the commerce of the young gil
ant of America aud of the nations of
the Old Word, exhibiting the growth
and vast preponderapce OF the former
over the latter-a preponderance in-
creasing, and destined to increase, be-
yond human calculation, if the Republic
only prove true to itself:
"Our tonnage is eleven times what it
was when Hamilton made his report up
on navigation in 1900; it has doubled
within the last nine years. The tonnage
of our registered ships engaged ia for
eign trade has trembled within the, last
fifteen years : our tonnage now surpas-
ses that Great Britain and all her col
onies, and is double the amount at which
British tonnage stood only seventeen
years ago. Our tonnage is double that
of all the European nations together,
exclusive of Great Britain, The ton.
mage of Maine alone is equal to that Of
the French empire; :. the tonnage of
Maine alone is equal to that of all the
Baltic powers combined. The united
tonnage of Denmark. Norway and Swe-
den is not equal to the tonnage built in
the United States in the single year en-
ding on the S0th day of june last.
:" If this is the present, what is to be
the future of commerce? Consider how
large proportion of the surface of the
globo has as yet made no contribution
to commerce, because waste, or occupied
by barbarous tribes, or inaccessible,
consider what vast countries are now be-
ing brought, for the first time, under
the dominion of civilized men; consider
finally, how wonderfully production is
being augmented by machinery, by the
subsection to human control of newly
discovered powers of nature, and By ac-
cumulating capital. The progress of the
past has been great, and the capacity
for progress in the future is indefinitely
greater. The field for enterprise is NOT
yet fully explored it stretches bound
less on every hand, and each step for
ward only gives new points Of vision and
more extended prospects. -

OHIO CONTESTED ELECTION.

The Dayton, Ohio Empire gives the
following account of the congressional
contest in that district:
"Tbe Testimony has been taken in
Butler and Montgomery counties, on
the part of Mr.. Vallandingham, and in
Montgomery county upon the part of
Mr.. Campbell. Mr.. Campbell has been
for some time under the impression that
the contest was to be ehild's play. We
suppose that he does not now labor un-
der any such delusion.
AS We understand the position of mat
ters, fand our information is from re-
liable sources,) Mr.. Vallandingham now
leads Mr. Campbell to the amount of
fifteen or twenty five votes. Among the
illegal votes proved in Butler we're six
teen black, yellow and mixed 'gemmen
of color
By the statue regulating the taking
of testimony in contested elections, only
sinty days after the service of the an
wer are allowed to either party to pro-
cure evidence. The sixty days have
expired. And the law is that 90 no tes-
timony shall be taken after the expira-
tion of sixty days from the day on which
the answer of the returned member shall
be served upon the contestant"
The matter then stands closed Up,
and Mr.. Vallandingham undoubtedly
ahead.
Mr.. Campbell, we hear, proposes con-
tinuing the taking of depositions during
the summer. He may suit himself
He must come down on his knees before
a Democratic Congress, begging an ex-
tension of time, or the admission of
illegal and irregular testimony, to save
himself from being ousted at the next
session. He has no ground for favor.
And We shall be much surprised if the
Law is in any way stretched for his bone-

LATEST NEWS FROM THE INDIAN
OUTBREAK
a Battle Fought Between the
Indians and Volunteers.
Twelve Indians Killed.

Our latest intelligence from the scene
of the Indian troubles in Minnesota is to
the effect that on the 18th inst, bat
tie was fonght near the Watonwan Riv-
er, about thirty miles above Mankato,
between the ST. Peter volunteers, under
Gen. Dodd, and the Indians Twelve
Indians were killed, besides number
wounded. The volunteers did not lose
man. The ST. Peter boys behaved
nobly.
The steamer Equator arrived at St.
Paul on the 10th inst, with q large num-
Der of passengers from Mankato and St.
Paul. Of these were probably twenty
five families, or parts of families, who
had left on account of the troubles.

another letter from Mr.. Hezfep, of st.
Peter, dated 18TH It contains the fol.

KANSAS A FREE STATE.

A gentleman just returned fro m
Kansas Informs the Pittsburgh Post
that there is not shadow of doubt of
its being free State. Nothing can
prevent that ultimate result, whatever
attempts may be made to form sla-
very constitution. He says that large
numbers of the settlers who came from
the South are in favor of free State,
and, SO far as the Leavenworth district
is concei ned, the general impression is,
the introduction of slavery is neither
probable nor desirable. He thinks a
large portion of those denominatod "bor-
der rufians" are among the best citizens,
and will quietly acquiesce in the calm
decision of the people on that question.
He believes the abolition aid societies
of the eastern States have been the main
cause Of all the disturbances They
have sent men there Eho do not want
peace, and their conduct has excited a
counter movement that would never
have been heard of 1T for them The
great mass of the people, however, are
conservative, and want peace and order,
and desire to devote themselves to their
own affairs, and to the development of
the vast resources of that most beauti-
full of al Territories. He believes
there will be in the Territory by next
spring two hundred thousand people
the tide of immigration being principally
from the North; and he has no doubt
Ksnsas will become one of the greatest
States of our Union. He has no patience

sas," and says that if five or six hum
dred agitators ou both sides were driven
out of Kansas, all would 60 on smoothly
and iu peace. He believes that the
free State men will turn in and vote at
the election of delegates to the constitu-
tional convention. It is earnestly to |
be hoped that this belief is well found |
ed IF it is, the fact is evinced that |
the free state men have released them
selves, in considerable degree at least,
from the thraldom in which tLey have |
been held by black republican dema-
gogues. If they shall universally oxer-
else the right of suffrage, Kansas will
certainly become free State, and tho
troubles which have agitated the Terri
tory will cease to have existence.

An old Poem.


Who shall Judge man from manners ?
Who shall know him by his dress 2
Paupers may be fit for princes,
Princes fit for something less. -
Crumpled shirt and dirty jacket
May beclothe the golden ore
Of the deepest thought and feelings:
Satin vests could do no more.
There are springs of crystal nectar
Ever yelling out of stone;
There are purple budsand gold en-,
Hidden, crushed and overgrown;
God who counts by souls, not dresses,
Loves and prospers you and me,
While be values thrones; the highest,
But as pebbles in the sea.
Man, appraised above his follows,
Oft forgets his fellows then;
Nasters-ruIers-lord remember 49,
That your meanest hindsare men
Men by labor, men by feeling,
Men by thought, and men by fame,
Claiming equal rights to sunshine
In man S ennobling name,.
There are form-em broidered oceans,
There are little weed=clad rills,
There are feeble inch-high saplings,
There are cedaIs on the hills
God, who coants by souls, not stations,
Loves and prospers you and me /;
For to him all vain distinctions
Are as pebbles in the sea.
Telling hands alone are builders
OF a nations wealth or fame;
Titled laziness ID pensioned,
Fed and fattened on the same;
By the sweat ofothers' foreheads,
Living only TO rejoice,
While the poor mans outraged freedom
Vainly lifteth up his voice.
Truth and justice are eternal.
Born with loyeliness and light;
Scerect wrongs shall never prosper
While there is sunny right;
Gcd, whose world heard voice is singing
. Boundless love toyou and me,
Sinks oppression with its titles,
As the pebbles in the sea.

ANCIENT STRUCTURES.

Nineveh was fifteen, miles long, nine
wide and forty miles round, with wall
one hundred feet high, aud thick
enough for three chariots to ride
abreast.
Babylon was sixty miles within the
walls, which were seventy five feet thick
and three hundred feet high, with one
hundred brazen gates.
The temple of Diana at Ephesus, ac-
cording to Pliny, required two hundred
and twenty years to construct it, and
was supported by one hundred and twen-
ty-seven pillars, sixty-six feet high, hay
ing been raised by many kings.
The largest of the Pyramids, is four
hundred and eighty-three feet On the
sides; its base covers eleven acres; the
stones are about thirty feet in length,
and tho layers are two hundred and
eighty. It employed three hundred
and thirty thousand men in building.
The Labyrinth of Egypt contains 800
chambers and twelve halls.
Thebes in the same country, presents
ruins twenty-seven miles round and had
one hundred gates.
Carthage was twenty-five miles round.
This city contained two hundred and fif-
ty thousand citizens, and four hundred
thousand slaves.
The temple of Delphos was so rich in
donations that it was plundered of four
hundred thousand dollars, and the noto-
rious Nero carried away from it two hun
dred statues, which were wrought by
the best artists and sculptors of that age
Some of the stones in the ruined tenn
pie of Balbec have been recently measur-
ed, and found to be of the enormous
size of seventy feet long and twelve
feet thick.
The walls of Rome were thirteen
miles around. In the plenitude of her
power she numbered over half million
of free citizens, and three hundred and
fifty thousand slaves. Nearly all these
ancient cities have passed. away. The
eastern sun still shines. but shines not
upon their lofty towers and gates of
brass. Their splendor, their magnif-
cent structures, which cost so much blood
and treasure, are buried beneath the
rubbish of wasteful wars. Their pagan
kings and wicked rulers have alike
gone down to oblivion, and scarcely a
landmark is left to point with authen-
