These figures are taken from the returns
made to the Internal Revenue Commission
ers. Nearly every dollar of those three inn
mense sums was expended for tie support
of single labor ers and laborers with families.
See how large portion went directly to
farmers. The Superintendent of the works,
in his reply to the interrogatories of the
Commissioners, says: 1.-THE population sus-
tanned by the operations of our company,
consume annually about 900 head of beef
cattle 500 head of sheep, and the product
of not less than 1000 head of hogs Our
whole consumption of wheat -four is about
20, 600 barrels. Johnstown is ono of the
best markets in the country for all kinds of
food. Large quantities of the more perisha-
BILE kinds, such as garden vegetables, butter,
eggs, fruit etc, are brought from Pitts
burgh and other Western markets, as the
production of the surrounding country is
unable to support our demand"
No wonder is it that farming land within
two miles of the Cambria Iron works is
worth from $3.50 to $500 per acre, without
improvements And yet this. same land,
if the works were wiped out by British
free trade, would not be worth cent more
than the average value Of similar Pennsyl-
vania land for agricultural purposes, which
is 800 per acre. Such is the testimony Of
one of the most intelligent men in Pennsyl
vania. whose character will give credit to
his statements wherever he is known. He
also bears witness to the fact, which true
economists would anticipate-that the direct
influence of the works, in making quick
and profitable market for farm products, and
enhancing the value of the soil, is felt for
fifty miles all around Johnstown
What volume of teaching, farmers,
there is in these figures and facts The
benefcent influence of the Cambria Iron
Works is, to greater or less degree, the
influence of every one of the 730 iron pro-
dncing establishments now struggling for
life in the United States Each and all are

MR.. EDITOR: wish to make an inquiry about
the liability of Express Companies. As shipper,
would like to be informed to who would be re-
sponsibie for Goods money lost by the National
express Conpary. That company, it appears, is
lnsoivent, and has made assignment of all its
property, rights and credits The assignees or trus-
tees and they alone have control the property
OF The Company, and therefore could be levied
on and sold to pay any losses the company might
incur IN transportation. 1t is notlikely the COM
pany has any large amount of money on hand. for
II 1t had there would have been necessity for APP
pointing trustees. Now suppose was to ship $780,
900 by the Company, and it was lost either by rob-
bery or otherwise who would refund me my money!
THAT'S the question want answered for the benefit
of the public.
No doubt the officers and employees of that COM
pany are as honest any set Of men, but losses
sometimes unavoidable, and therefore it is mpor-
taat 10 know who can or will pay them, or who can
be made to pay them. The property of the company
cannot be reached, because it is covered by a deed
of trust and certain it is that the and
officers are not individually responsible. The wri-
ter OF this, as you know is stakeholder
nected with or interested in any Express com pany.

made good. d. %. c..

PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURcH.-At a
meeting OF the Standing Committee of the do
cese of North Carolina, held in Raleigh, on the
18th inst the. following extract of letter re-
Gently received from Bishop Atkinson was read:
"My health has improved 30 much that no

the cauons which allow Bishop an assistant.
| think, therefore, the choice of one by the do
cesar convention at its adjourned meeting, if
such choice we're made, would be imperative,
and that consequently as the meeting would be
a source of trouble and expense, it would be
best to have it postponed to the next annual
Convention"
Upon which it was,
Resolved, That, 10 the opinion Of the Stand
ing Committee, it is advisable that the contem-
plated Convention Of the Diocese in November
be Indefinitely postponed.

WHAT CONSTITUTES A BILLION.

I Editor Charlotte DemOcrdt-Sir: have been
somewhat puzzled in my mind in regard to the
number which properly constitutes Billion,
Triliion. Quadrillion, Quintillion, Sextlon, Sep
tillion, Octillion. Notlion. &c. From my under
standing the best authority in our country dis
agree. Now, sir, | would be glad if you and the
whole corps Editorial would give this matter a
few moments consideration and settle the minds
of the inquisitive and uniformed like myself
Very respectfully &c. j. WENTz.
We referred the above to friend who is No.
/ School Teacher, and he furnished US with the
following answer: 80
Mr.. EDITOR Having read the letter of your
CORE spoHdent, it seems to me that his query may
thus be answered. The meaning of word de-
ponds either upon its deriyaion upon its usage.
photographers are not word makers they are
but registrars of words. with their meanings and
recommendations as established by the best authors
in the language to which they belong or by their
general acceptation among those who properly
speak that language. Moreover it is generally
acceeded to adopts in any science or trade to Tx
the nomenclature of the terms and tools peculiar
to their science or art. The mechanic speaks of
the lever and its fulcrum, his plane his saw !;
the Astronomer of the Planets, their orbits, and
their satellites, and no one questions the pro-
priety of his techncalities. So with the Mathe
matician, and the words in question, Billion, Tril
lion. &c, essentially belong TO the science Of
numbers, and the meanings given to them by
every Arithmetician of the age, is, for Billion
one thousand millions for Trillion, one thousand
billions, &c. The opinions of these professors
would. in my opinion, be amply sufficient to e.
tabiish the meaning of the words; bu: if more is
necessary, let me refer you to Websters Una
bridged Dictionary Q842 and later) and to
Walker-I do not find the words in johnson.
Hence there being no conflict between the Mathe-
n,atician and the photographers. think we may
safely assert that the word Billion implies one
thousand millions. the word Trillion one thousand
billions, &c.
Again: | would remark that the meanings of
these words dc not depend literally upon the
Latin words of which they compounds: Bis,
twice, and Mtlie a thousand, forming the word
Billion; and Tres, three, and Mile. the word
Trilon. meaning literally two and three thousand,
respectively. wide Bullions Latin Grammar,
numeral adjectives and adverbs)
1t seems, then, clear to me that these terms
have been arbitrarily adopted by Arithmeticians
to imply the numbers above stated. there being
no natural reason why any other form of express
sion could not have been adopted to convey the
same idea.
give the foregoing as my view of the matter
in question, but still | am open to conviction, if
any more plausib BILE explanation is produced.
l am sorry to impose so much upon you, but
have found that to answer this question, is some
thing like an effort to prove axiom.
Very Respectfully, FRED. S. MOORE.

IMPEACHMENT OF THE PREsTDENT.-All the
talk of the Radicals about the impeachment OF
President Johnson is mere bosh. If Ben Butler
could take his seat in the House next December,
with his gun ready loaded, it would end in a
flash in the pan. The Radicals who are bold
and aggressive, may possibly bring up the ques-
ton of impeachment as a political ruse, to test
their own strength, but they could not get thirty
votes in its favor. The theme may be a very
good one for stump orators to rant over, but as
serious question it is have said, mere
