OF TRIPS OF AMERICAN AND FoREIGi
STEAMERS
UMBER OF PASSENGERS CARRIED BY AMERICAN AND

The foregoing tables show that in 1855, when
the United States had weekly line of mail steam
ers to Europe, nine out of the thirteen steamers
in the trade were American, and made sixty
out of the eighty.6ve trips; that they carried
three fourths Of the passengers; and that of the
total passengers arrived at New York from
Europe, seven per cent were brought by
steamers. But the same tables show that in
1859, four years afterwards, out of the forty six
steamers in the trade, but five were American;
that they carried only one-seventh Of the pas
sengers; and that Of the total passengers ar
rived at this port from Europe, thirty-three per
cent were brought by steamers thus making it
evident that the foreign steamers are taking
away the passengers and freight even from
American sailing ships The suhjoined table
will show that for the last five years, with the
exception Of the year Of the panic, the passen-
gers by steamships have steadily increased

An ENTERpRIsNG CoNrEMPoRARY.--In this
city is published o newspaper which in two
points bias outstripped all its contemporaries in
the United States-its original description of
battles and backgrounds, and its priority Of
intelligence in publishing bogus copies Of
treaties. Last summer the Italian war was
raging, and the editor thought he would make
good thing out of it He therefore gave an
account OF the famous quadrangle of Austrian
fortresses behind the Mincio, the "elbows" of
which he represented as formed by the SYM
pathies Of youth" Scarcely less graphic and
interesting was his memorable sketch of his
fight from Solferino, making better race than
John Gilpin, and distancing all the fagitives.
No newspaper on this continent has ever been
able to match that enterprise In the way of
treaties he also stands alone. About year
ago he published q treaty as signed in Wash
ington by the Nicaraguan Minister and Sir
Gore Ouseley, the British Minister. No such
treaty was then signed, nor has ever been
signed since. Two or three days ago he
achieved another brilliant feat of the same
kind. he published what purported to be the
recently made treaty between this country and
Mexico. No treaty like the one published by
our smart contemporary is before the Senate
No such treaty, in fact, has been even nego-
tiated between the two governments.

Destruction or American Steamshlp EN-"

We copy from our ship news in yesterday s.

rial columns

This is the second steamship IF line owned
by an English company, destined to establish a
regular steam communication between the
Mediterranean and this port. The establish
ment Of this line Is the last Of series of facts
reaching over a number of years, showing that
American steamship enterprise on the ocean,
which had risen into Importance and fame I'M
der the auspices of Mr.. Collins, has been de-
stroyed by the corruptions of Congress and by
the envy of others, while British and other
foreign steamship enterprise has taken its place,
and Is now triumphant. There are, at this mo-
ment, ten lines of foreign steamships running
between this country and Europe, and only
one American, consisting of the Fulton and

line went into operation, and had everything
ia own way But American energy entered into
competition, and in few years, under the
able direction of E. X. Collins, the American
steamers surpassed the British both in their
splendid accommodations and in the rapidity
of their passages The steamers of his line
were the first that ever crossed the ocean
inside of ten days. Congress at first paid
tolerably for the carrying of the mails,
though not so much as was paid to the
British line by the English government.
The country was proud of its steamships, and
Congress advanced in its remuneration and
paid what would have made the line the glory
Of the United States if it had been continued.
But through corruption in Congress, and the
jealousy and intrigues Of competitors, the grant
was withdrawn, and Collins line was sacrificed.
Ever since the ships of foreign nations have
carried most of the passengers and the mails,
and their various steamboat lines have pros
pered, because they have been paid handsomely
by their governments for their mail service.
The following tables will show the proportion
of American and foreign steamship trips across
the ocean, together with the number of pas
sepgers, for the last five years.

juncture Let there be good meeting tonight
The census OF Is6O-Thirsy.six AIulfens
OF People In the UniteA states-lA-
mensc Growth OF the Republic.
The government at Washington is now en-
gagged in preparing for the eighth census since
the organization of this republic, and it has
already issued preliminary instructions for car.
ryipg out That great work to the census
marshals throughout the country. We publish
to-day the programme to be adopted in order
to insure correct and speedy returns. The
census officials are to commence operations On
the LIST Of June, and they are required to COM
plete the work in every State and Territory
within the earliest practicable time. Ten
years have elapsed since the last national CEN
sus was taken, and in that period the country
has attained marvellous degree Of prosperity,
highly developed resources, widely extended
territory, and largely Increased population.
Two States Minnesota and Oregon-have been
added to the Union since then, and three new
Territories-Kansas, Nebraska and Washing
ton-have been organized under Territorial
Legislatures. The total population of the
States and Territories, according to the census
of 1850, was %, 191,8 76.
We have prepared an estimated return of the
present population, in anticipation of the CEN
sus of 1860, and the increase within the last
decade presents an astonishing example Of the
growth of the United States. A State census
has been taken since 1850 in twelve States and
six Territories, at different periods-in 1855,
'56, '5s and 49, Taking the increase for the pc
RODS between the national census Of 1850 and
the time when the State censuses were taken as
our data, we have made ageneral average Of the
present increase for the entire decade-di dividing
the States into classes according to their facili-
ties for rapid growth. Thus we find that while
the old free States have increased at the average
of thirty three and one-third per cent for the
past ten years, the new free States have in
creased at the rate of from sixty to two hun
dred per cent, the old slave States at the rate
of fifty per cent, and the new slave State of
Texas at the rate of one hundred and sixty per
cent, and the Territories at the rate of one hun
dred and fifty per cent. By this mode we may
arrive very closely at the aggregate popula-
ton of the entire country in 1860. Thus

By this table it will be seen that there has
been considerable increase Of population in
all the States and Territories. Basing calcu-
lation upon the general average increase per
cent, as shown by these figures, we are enabled
to present the following tables Of the probable
increase Of the entire Union for the whole de-
cade, together with the total population in

mus we shall soon exceed the popula-
uon OF either France or England, exclusive
'oi their colonies; the only nation In Europe
w.uch can compete with us will be Russia
ana we can command greater power than
Russla, because every quarter of this Union
is knit together by chain of railroads
and telegr.sphs, by free press, and a unity of
language, religion, and a common civilization.
So that while the power of the Russian empire
is diffused over vast extent Of widely sundered
territory, our power is concentrated, like that
of one great city. On the night of the ap-
preaching Presidential election ne shall be in

ancient city, in the tide of its glory. A kindred

comes more populous than all Europe, or
China.
But there is an issue now before the people
which, If it be not rightly determined, will put
termination to all this growth and prosperity,
and, so far from another decade leaving this
great country marvel Of power and extent, it
may find her disunited and powerless-the
wreck of what was once youthful giant-with
her promises unful6lled, her destiny unaccom-
plished-the pity, and not the pride of the
world.
