Also, three hundred boats or so, TWENTY-FIVE OF
which carry guns. Two other vessels are expected
from England As for and ammunition the
arsenals redundantly supplied. With 200
men arrived from Cagliari the army of invasion
must be at least between $4,000 and &c, 900 strong.
THE CENsUs-The census marshals all over the
country are about completing their labors. The
returns from the States come in very slowly. We
have the official reports from New Hampshire and
Rhode Island, however, which do not exhibit a
very great increase over the population of 1850.
In New Hampshire the gain is only s,2ll in ten
years, the figures being for 1880, 3l7,6 and for
1860, 1885, l76. The gain in Rhode Island is greater
in proportion, being nearly IS per cent. in ten
years, thus-Population in 1850, 147 $40; in 1860
l73, S69-increase &c, 800. The population of these
States, as of all the other Atlantic States is in
creased principally in the manufacturing cities,
while in many of the rural towns there has been
very little gain, and in probably slight fall
ing off, 1t is to the new Western States we will
have to look for the largest increase.
ARRIVAL FROM SYRIA.-The bark Speedwell, Cap
tain Mayo, arrived at this port from Beirut, Syria
yesterday 1t brought two of the three horses pre-
sented to Senator Seward by Turkish government
officer, during his visit to that country. The third
one died on the sixth day out, having shown signs
of sickness when brought on board. They are of
the Arabian breed of horses, and will attract great
attention in this country.
The Speedwell was in the harbor of Beirut dur
ing the recent troubles there, and Captain Mayo's
conduct, in aiding the Christians in their fight
from the atrocities Of the Moslems, highly COM
mendable.-Boston Courier, Sept. l3
THE GEORGIA TRoUBLEs.-The Dalton (Ga.) Times
says there was good cause for apprehensions of an
nsurrectionary movement on the part of the blacks
OF that community. The confession of 4 negro girl
belonging to Mr.. James Lyman led to the discovery.
The confessions of the negroes arrested to the
effect that the town was to be fired on Sunday
night while the citizens were in attendance at the
different churches That paper concluded with the
remark ''that some black hearted Abolitionist or
Abolitionists have been tampering with the blacks
in this place and vicinity, there can be no question;
and the owners of slaves and the city authorities,
cannot be too watchful."
The PoTATo RoT IN NEW YoRK--The recent
heavy rains have caused the potatoes to rot in
many of the counties on the Hudson. Whole fields,
containing six, eight, and ten acres, in Columbia
county, entirely destroyed nearly 80, and in
other cases they are so far gone that it will not pay
to dig them up. In Sullivan county, also the
potatoes are nearly all destroyed. Whole fields
have been affected in short time, and many of the
farmers have been digging them for feeding. Oats
have also been considerably damaged by the pro-
onged wet weather, and several fields entirely
spoiled. -s.-
The French scientific world are considering the
new steam engine, invented by NJ Lenoir, which is
said to effect prodigious economies. The economy
produced is calculated at not less than 40 per cent
by the suppression of the boiler, the chimney, and
the other accessories hitherto used in the consruc
tion of steam-engnes. The machine itself offers a
saving of 80 per cent.
