WHAT MkKUFACTUREs DO FOR CRY
"A census OF Philadelphia, recently taken,
shows that the population of that place is
$50 900. This is an increase since 1880 of
AL $50, or about 66 per cent. The inSrease
in the preceeding,ten years was SO per cent.
This groth shows that foreign commerce
is not Necessary for the growth Of a city,
but that manufacturing, railroad facIlties.
and the coasting trade are sufiicientfur it.

trial. He says:
"After Mr.. Beckham, my great uncle

found several persons in the room: and level

more balls were buried in him; we then
threw his body off the irestle work, and re.
turned to the bridge to bring OFT the prison

We found him suffering from his wounds,
and probably dying; we concluded to spare
him, and start after others. and shoot all we
could find. l had just seen my lcved uncle

but that does not license Virginia gentle

"Efas it ever occurred to you that Gov.
Wise is at the bottom of this Harper's
Ferry insurrection! Brown was but en-
deavoring to carry out the programme which
the Governor bad proposed for himself in
case Fremont had been elected President
viz: Seize upon the arsenal at Hurper's
Ferry, raise an army, march TO Washington
take possession Of the city, and dissolve the
Union"
The truth is, that the Southern Disunion
blusterers were only foolishly idiiins, while
Brown went silently at work. and IN terrible
earnest.

A COLLISION occurred on the Sacramento
river Tuesday night, between the boats
Dashaway and Princes. The Bulletin gives
the following account of the affair
Capt. Stump, of the Dashaway, saws that
he left Sacramento at 9 p. NJ, at the same
time with the Princess, and about fifteen
minutes ahead of the Antelope. When be-
low Sacramento, the Antelpe overlook the
Princess, and held up under her stern-tbis
is the allegation-long enough to give her a
sheer and enable her to strike the Dashawav.
Inc passengers moreover assert that the
Princess did not stop steam until the damage
was all done, and the Dashaway began to
back off
They profess to believe that the Antelope
gave the Princess line TO help her up to
the collision, and there was room enough to
avoid any contact unless it was intended
The Dashaway passengers send us a commu-
nication, with their names attached, to the
effect that this is their belief. On the other
hand, Capt. Galloway of the Princess, AYERS
that he was cramped in between the two
boats, and at their mercy; that they were all
in shoal water, that neither boat Stacked
speed as long as long as there was any hope
of going clear of each other; that as he was
situated, his boat would not mind the helm !;
that the collision was entirely unavoidable
on his part, and that the moment he saw it
was inevitable, he stopped steam. The dam
age was not much to either boat. Some of
the Dashaways bulwarks and staunchions
were carried away, and some of the Princess
wheel buckets and braces were broken. AS
some tall posters have lately been issued, and
as one of the captains has been forcibly sup
pressing their emmission, We shall have
more of this matter in the Police Court to-
