The Albany Evening journal, after al
luding to the provision made by the last
Congress, for a new census Of the United
States, expresses hope that it will not
be filletlwith rs many glaring errors as the
last one.
a great number of its statements are
false or contradictory on their very face.
Thus the number of Bankers in the Union
Is stated to be $50, while the number of
Banks is !, 422; SO that each Banker must
have charge of two or three Banks! there
aresaid to be 1888 churches, but only
26, $40 clersynen, leaving the absurd in
ference that twelve, thousand churches
are Standing empty. All these 3s,193
churches, Moreover, according to the CEN
sus, have but 436 sextonsl There areare-.
ported to be only 70 pawnbrokers in the
Union more can be counted in a, single
walk through Chatam street and the
Bowery. The number of soldiersis stated
in the census at 5, 149-seven thousand
short of the fact. for the army List puts
it at 1923. There are stated to be 1926
newspapers, but only 1872 editors of
them--about half an editor apiece. The
number of schools is SO,97S while the
number of teachers is stated, in one
place, at 20,5S7, and in another at 1866,
a. discrepancy of sixty thousand! Nor can
either. statement be correct, for in one
case there would be fifty thousand schools
without teachers, and in the other ten
thousand teachers without schools! Again,
the number of railroad men in the whole
Union is stated to be 4,S3l, when the rail
roads in this State alone employ more
than that number.
The chief and primary object of taking
census, is to get a basis for apportion-
ments for voting and tax-paying. Yet
will it be believed, the census of 1850
contains neither table of voters nor one
of taX-payers!

Bledsoe County.

Having spent the greater portion of last
week at Pikeville, we are able to state
that the people of the valley generally
are delighted with the nomination of Col.
NErHERLAND, and sanguine of his success.
On Monday there was a democratic
meeting held at the Courthouse to APP
point delegates to the Cleveland Conven-
ton. Col. SPEARS was called to the Chair,
and committee appointed to draft reso-
lutions. While the committee was out,
Col. MINIS, candidate for Congress till
the meeting of the Convention, was called
up and made speech. In the course of
his remarks he signified his intention to
abide the decision Of the Convention, and
then went off on Douglas, the Constitu-
ton, Lecompton, and the "nigger ques-
ton" generally. Is it not little strange
that democrat can't talk fifteen minutes
upon any subject without diverging to
the everlasting Niger. In regard to
Africa there is no mistake about their be-
ing "dyed in the wool and double struck
in the wool" When Col. MINIS had
concluded, the committee reported reso-
buttons re-affirming their faith in the
soundness, durability, and eternity of de-
mocratic principles-endorsing the adj
ministration generally, specifically, indi-
vidually and collectively-endorsing Col.
Smith, and intimating that it would be a
grearpleasure to support him agein, which
in view of Col. Minis position before the
meeting, we considered highly compli-
mentary to the last named gentlemen
The meeting was cold, tame and spirit
less, and sadly deficient of that warmth
and confidence which were won't to char
acterize the proceedings of the democracy
at the outset of canvass. -"''
We are not given to speak the praises
of the masses with whom we mingle in
travelling our Circuit, which-now embraces
some nine counties, but there Is genial
hospitality and cleverness about the people
of the Sequatchie country, apd a prompt
ness in paying for their papers, that draws
largely on our admiration ana render our
visits in that direction both pleasant and

THE TIDE SET IN.-The election in Lou
isville resulted in complete Opposition
triumph. Last Summer the majority for
the opposition candidates was only pa,
now the maiorities range from 430 to SIG
just double the majority of last Summer
The Journal says:
Having accepted the issue rendered by
the Democrats, We proclaim this triumph
to our friends throughout the State, and
give them the assurance that in August
next the city of Louisville will give Joshua
F. Bell and the Opposition State ticket at
least 1900 majority. There never was
finer spirit or a more confident feeling
among our friends, while on the other
hand. the Democracy are dispirited and
depressed. They expected victory on
Saturday, confidently expected it even at
the close of the polls, and could hardly
realize the returns when announced
Our friends worked quietly but effectively
and are rewarded by this first victory in
the campaign of 1859, which we hope will
be followed by many more.

PIXIES PEAK.-A statement published
in the River Department, shows the num-
Der of Pixies Peak Adventures who have
passed through this way, by river alone,
so far to be $3.50. We haveno means of
estimating the number gone West by rail-
road from this place. The tide of emigra-
ton for that region has fairly set in, and
there is now, probably, not less than one
hundred thousand people en- route for the
newly discovered gold regions. Nine
tenths of these, at least, instead of for
tunes, will encounter hardship, starvation,
and Observation-Disclosures Gazette.
1t was but the other day that we pub
lished an account of the collision between
two steamboats, on the Ohio river, by
which about forty emigrants for Pixies
Peak were drowned. Hundreds of others,
says the Philadelphia Bulletin, will proba-
bly, perish by disease or accident, and all
will suffer more or less from fatigue, pri-
walton and exposure. But it is with such
trials as these, that waste places are filed
up and commonwealths are formed. A
great sacrifice must be offered to the god
Fortune, before his favor is vouchsafed to
his votaries.

Netherland at Nashville.

The Daily News of the 10th, contains
the following
The SPEAKING LAST NIGHT.-CoL. Meth
ERLAND BEFORE THE PEopLE.-Col. Neither
land, the Opposition candidate for Cover
nor of Tennessee, being in the city for
the purpose of comforting with his oppo-
nent, Gov. Harris, in regard to a list of
appointments for the approaching canvass,
was called out last night, to address one
of the largest and most enthusiastic as
semblages we have seen for many day,
in the large Court room, up stairs in the
Court House. Upon his appearance he
was greeted with round after round of APP
plause. When this had subsidized, he pro-
ceeded to address them in speech of
about an hour, which was time and again
interrupted by the most rapturous APP
plause. He regretted his competitor was
not present, and spoke of him in terms
of well merited respect. He alluded to,
rather than argued, many of the questions
which will enter into the canvass, in
manner which evinced his thorough &C
quaintance with them, and thorough
ability to handle them to his own and
his partys satisfaction. He seemed to us
to meet the public expectations, to
fraction. He has infused much of his
own calm and deliberate courage and en-
thusiasm into those who heard him; and
we shall be very much mistaken if he
does not bear his party's banner in-fri-
umph on the first Thursday in August
next. .f''' ''.'

The Third District.

We publish, II the next column, Card
\fropa nonnP .a.C6oxE, ESQ.,, Withdrawing
lfAil connection or associa-
ton WIN fhe YcandidaoS~ior Congress in
this Districtss KNOWING The man inti-
mately as we do; his strength, ability, and
popular impulses; we should have rejoic-.
ed at the opportunity to have supported
him for the position named. At the same
time it is right to state that we appreciate
and cordially approve the motives which
have induced his course in the premises,
as we have no doubt will his friends
throughout the Districts; and in saying
thus much we desire to remark further,
that we know he and they will hear
tily support and zealously rally to the
help of whoever may be the Congress
sonal standard-bearer.
Mr. Cookies Card removes, as we con-
ceive, whatever necessity may have ex-
listed for Convention, and we, therefore,
take the responsibility of placing the name
of Col REESE b. BRABsoN at the head of
our columns as the candidate for Congress.
That gentleman is now absent from the
State, and we hoist his name without any
consultation with him or his more init
mate friends But as he has ever respond
ed when called upon, and always been
foremost in the fight, we feel confident
he will not fail us now when the exigen-
ces of the times and the condition of the
country more than ever demand the SER
vices of the patriot. Col. Brabson has la
bored long and zealously in the cause of
his country. 1t may be said by some Of
his friends that he has performed his full
share of work. Yet more remains to be
done to retrieve the errors which have
been committed in the name of Demo-
cracy, and to restore the government to
something of its former character, great
ness and prosperity. We regard Col.
Brabson as eminently qualified to discuss
the issues of the canvass, and to show up
the profigacy, extravaganza and corrup-
tons of the leaders of the democratic
party-the men who have peddled out
the government offices and honors, squan-
dered the public treasure, and compro-
missed the integrity OF their country, rs
Esau bartered his birth-right, for a con-
sideration-whose palms are tainted and
whose political offences are too rank to
admit of. pardon. No man in. the Dis
trict is better qualified than Col. Brabson
to show them up and press the tendency
and results of their pernicious course be-
fore the people-and we, therefore, run
up his name and shall keep it flying at
our masthead, with that of the gallant
NErHERLAND, until the 4th of August, UNI
less a Convention is insisted upon and
some other gentleman nominated.

WEATHER PREDICTION. we
have no faith in the predictions of Thorn
as, the almanac maker, or any Of the
weather prophet fraternity, we will pub
lish the information of u correspondent
j. Royal, of White Rock, Ill.-who pro-
fesses to be able to foretell the weather
one year in advance for any locality where
there is an almanac calculated. Here is
the prophecy: 1.-THE first half of April will
be wet, the last half fair; thetfrst week in
May will be wet, the balancesfair; the first
half of June will be fair, the last half
changeable; July will begin and end with
few days of changeable weather, leaving
the middle of the month dry; August will
have great many wet days; September
will set in fair, but the balance of the
month will be changeable, the last part
being wettest; October changeable, grad
ually increasing to wetness; November,
like the preceding, only commencing fair
err and ending wetter; December, fair
weather." On this, we are told, we may
rely, with the exception Of September,
where there has ito be added the extra
stormy weather, caused by the sun cross
ing the line" This truly depends on the
prevailing winds at the timesif the winds
be southerly, the month .Sgit be wet; if
northerly, it will Be as dry d If the sun
were at his extreme distance from the
american.

THE WHEAT CRoP.-The Jonesboro'
Union of the 9th says: "Never in our re-
collection has the wheat crop looked so
promising as it doesat this time, in Upper
East Tennessee, although some fears are
expressed that 1t may be yet caught by q
late frost. The meadows are also looking
green and luxuriant, promising an album
dant yield of grass. In truth the agricul-
tural interests of our country are advanc-
ing under the pgessnt prices, at an unpre-
cedented rate, and If prices continue as
they have been. and crops should be as
good as they promise, the farmers, who
have been heretofore considered the bone
and sinew of the country, viii soon be put
down as the aristocracy,n' =.

+. The News AT New YoRK.- The advices
by the steam ship Ne,s York we're received
fin New York on Tuesday morning, and
the effect is thus reported in the Evening
Post of that day: rs-a "
The foreign news, which at first glance
may be construed as decidedly. sencourag-
ing, produced better feeling in the stock
market on the opening of the Board, but
the firmness was of short duration, there
being strong signs of weakness at the
close. The market is far from active, and
the usual scarcity of outside orders pre-
walls. The brokers' offices have very
dull appearance. .s.H ~ -
The news from Europe does not seem
to be regarded as of any special inpor-
lance, which probably grows out of the
absence of full private mail, which is
so desirable generally. containing as it
does on most occasions specific and con-
firmatory intelligence.

Counterfeit Bill.

The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel of
the 18th, describes the following counter
feits:- e..
Thursday we were shown two five dol
lar bills, purporting to be on the Union
Bank of South Carolina, at Charleston,
w. d. Clancy, Cashier, and Daniel Rave
mel President, both of which were coun-
terfeits. They are printed in blue and
pink and pink and some other color
ed inks. The engraving is poorly execut-
ed, particularly the stalk of cotton on the
left, and the figure of Justice on the right
hand ends, and the heads of the five first
Presidents surmounted by an eagle in the
centre of the bill. The Bank has no such
plate, and the bills cannot deceive any
one who is familiar with engraving or
much accustomed to handling money,
while they are well calculated to deceive
others, who are less versed. =.
