HAYTI.-In an article on the insur-
rection in this island the N. Y. Herald
says, the area of the island is about 20 :
900 square miles, one-third of which is
comprised in the empire of Hayti and
two-thirds in the Dominican republic.
The population of Hayti is Csc, 900, and
that of the republic of Dominica $50,
600, nine-tenths of whom are of African
descent, and the remainder of the Span
ish and Indian races. The capital of
the republic is the city of ST. Domingo,
built by Bartholomew Columbus, brother
of the great dscoverer, in 1896. The
army numbers about $4,000 men, while
that of Solouque is as large as 10000;
and he has navy composed of four
small vessels and one steamer.
The climate of the island is one of
the most delightful in the world, the soil
rich and the scenery superb; but its
productiveness has declined under the
miserable and corrupt rule with which it
has been afflicted the export of coffee and
tobacco has fallen off almost to nothing,
and sugar is actually imported from the
United States into country where it
once formed rich Hnd "h""aant crop.

GREECE - 1o o.......ve furnished
by a recent report of the Minister of FL
nance of the Kingdom Of Greece, show
some industrial progress:
The population of the country has
increased since 1884 from 100000 to
1,042,000. The inhabitants occupy
themselves mainly with agricultural and
marine pursuits. Twenty million litres
of currants are now produced, against
ten millions previous to 1884, and the
vineyards cover three times as much
ground as they did before the war of in
dependence. Instead of 3S0,000 null
berry trees, Greece has now 1.500, 900,
and 260, 900 fig trees instead of $4,000.
The olive trees have increased from g.
100000 to 7 400, 900, and they yield a
revenue of 100000 drachms instead
of $40, 900.

The EFFECTS OF RELIGIOUS DEspo-

The EFFECTS OF RELIGIOUS DEsPo-
TIsM, in checking the material prosper
ity of a people are strikingly illustrated
by the annexed statistics:
A census of the population of Rome
has just been completed, from which it
appears that the total number of inhab-
itants is 1S0,357-a figure at which
this petrifed or stereotyped city has re-
manned for the last 25O years, without
any symptom of that progressive devel-
opment which has enlarged, enriched
and enlightened every other European
capital In the muster-roll there are
81 bishops, l ,331 secular priests, 2,4O4
monks, 1872 friars, 300 nuns, and
$50 seminary students. Last year the
figure was 1852, but the slight in
crease is made up by counting this year
S55 "heretics, Turks, inidels and Jews, "
who are permitted to live outside the
Ghetto, and were never before included
in the census There is no mention of
what the Ghetto itself holds, but it is
supposed to lodge about 5000 children
of Israel.

INRxPLIcABLE.--The Sacramento
Union closes an article on the Har-
per's Ferry insurrection in the follow
ing manner:
The blood shed at 'Earper's Ferry
may be charged primarily y to the re-
peal of the Missouri Compromises
That repeal was the Pandora's box
through WHICH the Kansas and Har-
per's Ferry. slavery troubles were in-
tlicted upon she'eountry.
Similar statements have repeatedly
appeared in the Uaios heretofore.
But, strange as it may seem, strong as
the condemnation of thcr Ueion may
be oflhsrepeal of the Missouri Com
promise, its sympathies seem to be of
late entirely with the author of these
evils. Judge Douglas, the opener Of
the.Pandora's box is the great man
for President with the Union. Really
the Union must have a liking for Har-
per's Ferry troubles to give aid and
eomfors4o the author of them. The
difference between the Union and us
in politics is this-the Uaion loves the
doer and despises the deed, while
we despise bbthit. We esteem the

Aen OF the press TO make political
sepisal out Of the crazy attempt of a
handful of fanatics and niggers to
cseate an insurrection in Virginia is
90 diabelica+ as the attempt ITSELF
For no one doubts the honest convic-
dons Of "old Brown" but every SEN
sible man knows the charge of any
considerable number of the people
Of the North being implicated in the
affair at Harper's Ferry is most ir-
famous. The sincerity of those
srazy fanatics is entitled to- nsodi-
cum of respect, while the malicious
charges of corrupt and venal press
engaged in the unholy cause of at
tempting to restore waning power to
q rotten party, are beneath contempt.
This ruse will not win. 1t will be
found that mono but the widest fana-
tics were conspirators with "old
Brown" and very few at that, and
that these men are as much opposed
at the North as they are hated
ut the South. But it matters not, we
find, how few and insignificant these
fanatics may be, or how bitterly they
sre-opposed by the conservative men
men of the North. The miscreants
who edit Administration papers in
this State will have it that the princi-
pal statesmen of the North, and their
supporters are engaged directly or in
directly in conspiracy 10 cut the

nantly resent the insult. How long
do-these Democratic editorial asses
suppose four-ifths of the people of

1t is by the unbridled abuse of such

retaliation is engendered, and lasting
animosities are created between breth--
rem from the North and South.

written sometimes harslly, but it has,
been done under strong provocation.
We would gladly cease all such wri-
ADg in the future. But we are not of
that kind to see the people among
whom we were born and educated ac-
sused OF the worst crimes in the cal
endar without rising up against the
foul slanderers. And we tell these
ealumniating miscreants that in the
event ofra war with Great Britain
the time may come when the South
will need the millions of the North to
hold in check and subdue the mad
dsued negroes with British arms in
their hands and led on to scenes of
carnage by British officers. Now the
patriotic sons of the North would fly

ren.with alasrity. But how long will

ne, having set up claim to publish
ing the first paper in California Sam
Brannan replies to the Lieutenant and
disposes of his pretensions in a con-
vincing manner. Brannan says, and
proves, that he printed the first Star
after midnight on the 9th Of January
lS47. The press on which the Star
was first published was afterwards
sent to Sacramento to print the Plac-
cr Times. 1t was again sold to some
up-country printing concern. What
became of it ultimately is a question
exciting considerable interest. Sam.
Brannan offers liberal price for it
and wishes to present it to the socie-
ty of California Pioneers.
The press. type and other fxins
used in the Joxrs0l Office when it
was established in 1851, were pur-
chased of the Placer Times Office
The long primer type in use in this
office down to 1854 was the identical
type used in printing the Star. When
the newspaper Office of Sam Brannan
arrived in San Francisco. it was dis
covered fso it is related to usl that no
sticks accompanied the other materi-
al, and accordingly wooden ones were
made to answer the deficiency. One
of these wooden sticks was in the
Journal office at the time of the fire
of 1856 and was destroyed with eve
thing else belon ying to the establish
ment. We had also lot of tin leads
used in the old Star office, and a lot
of wooden jobtype made of pine. We
believe there was also font of min.
ion or nonpareil used on the Star.
The press purchased of the Times
and Transcript and which was in use
in this office do~aato the fire of 1856
was a complete Washington press,
and does not answer the description
given of the old Star press sought af-
ter.
Since the above was written we
have received a note from Warren B.
Ever Esq. of Grass Valley. who is
the founder of the JoNRNAL office,
relativeto this subject, Mr.. Ever is
of the opinion thatt tie press destroy
ed in the fire of 1856 was the press
Sam Brannan is in search of. The
material of the first JOURNAL Office,
he states was purchased of Lawrence,
of the Sacramento Times which was
the successor of the Placer Times
The note of Mr.. Ever was, however,
a basty one, and we presume on more
mature consideration he, in connec-
tion with Brother Rolfe of the Demo-
crat, who is one of the pioneer priu.
tiers ofitke State, will be able to give
interesting facts which will 60 to de-
