So we are now actually within S2,245,-
7S9 SO of an annual appropriation of $780,
100000.
But the deficiency bills have in the last
two Democratic administrations become a
permanent institution, the standing mark of
incompetent management, want Of foresight,
want of financial information, and want of
honest economy. The first year of Dir.
Buchanan has largely added to their amount,
and we are entitled to foresee that the next
session Of Congress will be asked to add to
the above aggregate almost as much for
deficiencies as the last session had to giant.
We are therefore enabled to say tina; the
actual appropriations for the year 1859 Of
S97,254,20l O4
VIII be augmented by at least
for deficiencies, 100000 90

H Speaking Of The Photographic copy
of the Declaration Of Independence taken
apon surface no larger than pins head,
which may now be seen in Salem, Mass, and
can be read with powerful microscope, the
Salem Gazette says: "When such success
in reducing The size Of documents and like
ness has been attained by the Photographic
art, it is easy to imagine what might be ac-
complished in the time Of war by the use Of
the microscope. The most important Off
cial document could be contained in an or
binary vest button, and worn with impunty
by spy on m enemy's camp, or by traitor
eager to iDjure an active army Of his own

ANOTHER DEMONSTRATION AT GREYTows.
Our naval correspondent at Pensacola,
whose letter will be found in to-day's Her
aid, sends US the important intelligence that
the squadron at Key West, which includes
the :rigates Wabash and Colorado, the razee
Macedonian and the sloop Plymouth, had
been ordered to Greytown. This imposing
force is probably sent to enforce upon the
Nicaraguan government the absurdity of
further juggling with Us in relation TO the
Cass- Yrissari treaty, and likewise to pni in n
caueat against the French, English and Sar-
dinian protocol. The gordian knot Of Gen.
trail American diplomacy may yet be cut

MISUNDERSTANDING TO Phiiadel-
phin journal, the Bulletin, there are supposed
to be about three thousand newspapers and
periodicals published in the United States,
with circulation amounting in the aggre-
gate TO nearly six millions, and for the year
probably to FIVE hundred millions. This in
cludes not only the daily press, but also the
tri-weekly, semi-weekly, weekly, monthly,
quarterly and all other descriptions coming
under the head Of periodicals. All the rest
of the nations of the earth united, do not
publish az many periodicals as do the United
States, nor does their aggregate circulation
amount to nearly so much. There are no
morning papers in London or elsewhere that
circulate so many copies as do the papers of
the largest circulation in Philadelphia and
New York.

SLAVERY IN VIRGINIA.-The Richmond
South, replying to an article in the New
York Herald in which the writer predicts
the early extinction of slavery in Virginia,
-"To-dy sIavery stands upon stron-
ger basis in Virginia than at any former pc
Rod of its history. 1t may not" says the
South, "be generally known. but it is never
theless true, that tie tobacco planters of this
State realize agreater profit on their invest
ments than the cotton growers of Alabama
In the production of Wheat, the other chief
staple of Virginia agriculture, tine labor of
the negro slave is scarcely less remunerative
What is the consequence! The very reverse
of :he statement in the Herald's article. So
far from relaxing IFS grasp upon the soil of
Virginia, saVery is daily enlargirg its basis
and strengthing its foundations. The tide
of SouthwaId expectation has been checked,
and instead Of converting their slave property
into money, our farmers are actually embar;

labor"

all the correspondence of Gen. Lamar, our

its passage up the San Juan river, either by
the officials of the Nicaraguan government
or the agents OF the conflicting transit cmpa-
MES. Not only are all public dispatches thus
violated, but Gen. lamar's private correspon-
dence as well. The evil has reached such a
point that the Minister is compelled to lay
the case before the Secretary of State at
Washington.

100000 for one year as the nett earnings of
the Road, will not be overlooked by the

DIsUEIoH.-Andrew Fairservice was re-
markable man in many particulars, but we
have always thought his views Of politics a
little ultra. He attributed all the ills of life,
even to the casting of shoe by his horse on
a rough road, to the il-starred Union be-
twee England and Scotland. We think we
shall be sustained in the opinion that An
drew was narrow-minded man of strong
prejudices.
Andrew was not the sole man of his tribe.
When he died, he left many heirs TO his
opinions. We see not few of them every
day in this country, far removed as it is
from the scene of honest Andrews la
bors and trials. The only difference consists
in the object against which the American
Fairseryice rails. The Scotchman's hostility
was excited by the British Union; his image
in this country rails against the union of
these States. Political unions, it seems, let
them exist where they may, is an object of
loathing TO all the Fairservices, Scotch or
American. We have not heard that they
openly attribute the chinchbug, and the joint
worm, and the army worm and the thousand
other ills that wheat is heir to, TO the Union,
but doubtless in their secret hearts, they
think them thus attributable. --Rich. Wing.

Madras on the 10th June. When Sir Hugh
Rose took Calpee he got an immense store
of war munitions and large number of ex-
celent guns, held there for the use of the
rebels. But it appears they lose little by
this, as they now work in the foundries
which they garrison and cast cannon with
amazing rapdiV. The Sepoy triumph at
Gwaior, and the movements in Dude, the
Punjab, and Central India, show that the
insurgents are united, active, and full Of
courage. Meanwhile small pox, dysentery
and sun stroke, cut off large proportion of
the English soldiers, whilst many Others fall
dead on the marches in consequence of the
weight OF the heavy coarse clothing worn by
them.
