Increase of ROnuInfinn.

The Philadelphia Bulletin says, that Mr.. S. E. Cohen,
in the course OF compiling directory of Philade
pha has made inquiries as to population and he states
that the whole number of inhabitants in the consolidated
City not less than 68OOOO being an increase of 27l
600 since 1850. 1t is doubtful whether the United
States census Of next year will sustain Mr. Cohen.
This suggests the subject of the next census and some
considerations connected with it. All know, or ought
to know that political power in the House of Represen-
taVeS and In the election of President is apportoned
to the States according to the returns of population
given in by the censustakers and that failure in this
respect may entail the loss of at least one representative
If not more, to any State That the South has suffered
IN this way, we think there can be little doubt
Living apart Oh plantations generally in
agricultural pursuits the sparse population of the
South IS not organized counted and cassed like that of
the more densey settled North nor, if mistakes are
MADE IN any enumeration, they be so readily discoy
cred or SO easily rectifed.
South Carolina paper-the DARLINGTON FLog we
think, recently contained communication from tho
censusaker appointed by the State to make an enumer
atlon Tor State purposes, and that showed concnsvev
that the u S. Census of 1850 was defective and tbat
it failed to give the real population of the district fan
ing short Off by large per centage

By The State Fair next week at Raleigh promises
to be quite interesting occasion, less perhaps from
the show of stock or matters pertaining to agriculture,
than from the assembling of persons of all manner of
persuasons and professions from all parts of the State
Politicians preachers lawyers farmers mechanics spec
ulators among the men, and-angels among the women
will be thick as hops,
There is reason, however to anticipate very credi-
table show of goods and chates at the Fair and de-
cided improvement upon the past We shall try to spend
day there during the coming week in an incidental sort
of way.

REMovING-We learn that the emigration from this
State to Texas is not abatng much. Some families
from Alamance and Orange passed here last week. and
they stated that others were preparing to follow A
friend informed the other day that he knew of 10 or
IL families in Lincoln and Castor who were going to
Texas this Fall.
We regret to hear of this disposition on the part of
farmers to leave the Old North State-we regret it be-
we do not believe they improve their condition
much. With the same exertion made here which they
put forth in home and the exercise of as much
economy here there fully believe they would accu-
mulate just much, with less privation. 1t may do
very we'll for young man to move off, but for man
who has raised family, has pretty good farm, with a
fair prospect of making enough for his own household
and something to spare to break up and take his family
two months journey camping out at night SUBJ
ect to all sorts OF exposure we cannot consider good
policy. The excuse generally is, we want more land
for the children we suppose. Ii the children of any
account they will take care of themselves. We have
frequently heard the opinion expressed by some of the
best agrculturasts in the State that than
half of the farmers owned too much land IT they
would less and improve it better their labor would
be better rewarded and certainly they would not have
to pay so much tax.
Since writing the above we have had conversation
with gentlemen who their way naoUing back
to North Carolina. Their company consisted of Is per
sons. They went from Sampson county to Tennessee
The spokesman of the crowd said he was doing pretty
well and making fair living in Sampson but very fool
shy became dissatisfied and moved to Tenness in con-
sequence of the glowing descriptions he received of the
productiveness OF the land He stad there long enough
lose nearly all he had by sickness and other causes
and he was trying to get back to his old neghbor
hood He said he liked North Carolina better now than
he had before and expected to leave her again.

THE CALIFORNIA DUEI.-We pretend to no partic
ular puranism in our notions, but without being &C
cused of SUCH think may be allowed to make some
remarks the recent duel resulting in the death of Hon.
David Broderick, U. S. Senator from California. We
speak less Of the combat ITSELF than of the latitude of
expression and denuncaton that rendered an appeal to
such an arbrament necessary at least under the ideas
prevalent in California, and, generally throughout the
South For it is not the bloody settlement that is
much to be deprecated the insulting and unjust tone
of asperson that too frequently leads to it. When
occupying high and responsible positions adopt in their
intercourse with reference to eac. Other language the
of which has been udicaly pronounced equivalent
to blow, we can hardly expect any other result than
that which we have seen in California.
The contest ran high in the Pacific State aud those
who have read or listened to MIR. Brodericks tone of
remarks in the Senate of the United State may form
some idea of what it would be the stump, COM
munty where society is still in a transition state and a
certain of violence accompanies every express
sion of opinion
Judge Terry is wel-known the Judge of the Su-
preme Court who imprisoned by the Vigilence Com
mittee in San Francisco He refused either to resign
or to make any compromise although his life was con-
stanty threatened But for his influence and popuari-
ty his fate might have been hard one. The V'ganteS
did not dare put him to death, and finally gave him up
Mr. Broderick Democrat of the antLecomp-
ton, anti-Administration School. Judge Terry was
Lecompton Democrat. Irrtated by defeat Mr.. Brod
erick doubt more than usually exasperated and
less careful of his language. Both of unques
tionabe physical courage, although Terry excelled
perfect coolness steadness of nerve and decision.
This will rather intensity the personal feuds in Cali
ornia Who will be Mr. Brodericks successor is more
than we can yet speculate upon.

ARMED TEAcHERs.-In New York, it seems that the
schoolmasters literally teach the young idea to Shoot
for we informed that of the teachers who was
assaulted by expelled pupil and some comrades the
door of the schoohouse drew revolver and fired upon
his late scholar We should like to know if it is com
for teachers in that city to carry the peaceful
work of instruction with loaded pistols in their pockets?
We do not pretend to judge whether it is not necessary
for them to do there but it certainly new idea to
provncials who have not reached the gories of me-
tropoltan civilization For what kind of an offense is
the teacher allowed to shoot down boy? The discip-
line must certainly be decisive in these pedagogical ps
tol galleries. Providence Journal

this affair as they were in relation to the Louisville c~s

HEAVIEST SPORTING WAGER ON REcoRD.-Mr. Ten
Brock appears to be putting matters through with
rush just in England. London papers bring intel
lgence that he has made bet of 100000, $4,000
aside with Sir Joseph Hawey, that his horse Umpire
defeats Loiterer for the Derby of 1860. Mr.. Ten
Brock purchased Loiterer when yearng for $4,000,
and afterwards sold him for $500, having won $4,000
with him in match in the meantime He is haf-broth-
er to the celebrated Saunterer but beyond his undena
BILE high breeding and promising appearance there is
nothing in him to justify the high opinion entertained
of his merits by his owner. Umpire has proven HIM
self first class horse. Sir Joseph Hawey is the most
experienced well successful turtle in England
Last year he carried off the Derby with Beadsman and
this year with Musjid In fact, the cherry jacket is
oftener in front in the more important races than
any other, and if Mr. Ten Brock outgeneras the lucky
baronet, he will have achieved feat which no other
sportsman in England has been able to accomplish
The enormous extent of the wager together with the
character of the horses engaged will render the the
most interesting that has taken place the English
turf since VOtgeur had to succomb to the Dutchman,
and the result will be looked for with equal anxiety on
both sides of the Atlantic.
