Sr.TIsTIcAL--Just at this time, frequent reference
is made, both here and abroad, to the area and popu-
latiOn of this group. Statements often appear, es-
pecially in eastern prints, giving an incorrect idea o
both for instance an exchange before us says the to-
tai population is but so 1000, and the foreign popula-
ton 1000. We give below the figures of the census,
and also the area of the islands of this group:

All the officers and crew of the three vessels were
brought to this port by the brig R~amehameha y and
schooner San Diego. And as far as We can learn
there has been no loss of life in connection with these
unfortunate disasters. 1t is not certain what insur-
ance there was on these vessels, but it is thought that
two of these were uninsured.

LONDON. Dec. 27.-Another of those fendish ont
RACES which characterized the operations of the
Fenians has just been perpetrated in Dublin. An
unusually large number of letters have been re-
ceived through the Postofice, directed to prominent
officials, containing explosive materials designed
TO kill the persons to whom they are addressed.
Several exploded before their real nature was as
certained. No person has yet been killed, but a
policeman who received one of the letters was hor-
ribly mangled.
The Times states that at least 1000 special con-
stables have been sworn in in London. Ii calls atten-

amounts to the prodigious sum Of /, 662,

A gentleman just in from Cheyenne tells
strange story. Sitting in the Rollins

to Sumner, said cd d--n you, you

There is no sadder picture, says the
Louisville Courier, in the blood -vhtten
history of Tennessee than that present-
ed at this time With all the natural
strength and wealth of a nation il itself,
an an almost tropical beauty aud rich
ness of scenery, there IS no spot oa earth
more cursed, no land so bhghted, no de-
tendency more completely at the mercy
of systematic despotism-the wicked
est despotism the world ever saw. When
any country is brought to that stsge
where its own people--th0se who have
proudly watched its growth in prosper
Gus days; who have built up all that is
great aud good within Is, and who ask
for no better heritage than a quiet grtve
beneath its peaceful skies-are forced TO
fee to other lands for the protection they
cannot receive at home, there is liale
hope for liberty there.
This is . the situation IN Tennessee,
and we are assured the picture Is act

buzzards are holding high carnival en-

Resignation OF Gov. Bro'snlo"


The Knoxville Press AID Herald calls
upon Gov. Brownlow to resign in favor
of Senter, who is Speaker OF the State
Senate, and would succeed Brownlow in
the event of his death OF resignation,
Considerable apprehension exists among
the truely loyal, that Senter is anxious
for such an arrangement to take place, IN
order to overthrow Browhlow's policy ,
and Gov. Brownlow himself is said to be
alarmed upon this point, especially as
there is sas7a relationship between Sen
ter & Co., and Fleming, who were asSo-
ciates IN the Legislature Of 81, and are
understood to be very intimate When they
meet. Such is tie rumor.

The Passage OF the Tennessee
Militia Bill.

The Passage OF the TennesSe
militia Bill.
The House Of Representative, says
the Nashville Union and American Of
the 9th inst, passed on is. final residing
in that body, the bill to equip militia
force. The measure authorizes the Gov
ernor, in his discretion, to declare mar
tial law, which, BY legal sage, has been
we'll defined to be the abolition of all Law
and substitution of arbitrary force. Il
also legitimates the forcible seizure Of
the property Of citizens at the point Of
the hayonst, as mcans Of defrayiug the
expense of this unparalleled iniqufty
The vote was decisive one-forty seven
to sixteea, aud augurs its probable pas
sage in the Senate. The debate bears
witness that few Of the majority were
overtakeu By qualms of conscience and
were reluctantly led TO sustain this dia-
boIical scheme but the tyranny Of the
leaders prevailed and it was 6ercely driv-

it was by ne means an important matter
to inquire into.
Thus have the pledges, petitions, and
protestations of the people Of Tennessee
been met. Their appeals for peace have
been derided their assertions have been
doubted; their honor as men Of sineeri-
t. aud good faith has been waut0nly i'm
pugned, the solemn assurances Of brave
men have been secuted as idle and de-
ceptive words; the pleadings of a people
who have gone to the extreme Limit be-
coming high-minded freemen in their
effort to maintain the peace of society,
have been ruthlessly denied If society

Il nan, the pacific attitude and spirit
exemplifed IN the conduct Of that peo-
pie for the last two months, and spoken
through their representative ilen to this
very body few weeks since, should have
prevented the passage Of this bill. The
relentless temper of the House Of Rep
resentatives displayed in this proceeding,
strikes at the REORGANIZATION Of social
order, and if it is carried into execution
will surely produce strife. It is utterly
without justification or palliation. The
suffers for peace were candid and SIN
cere If there IS honor 10 man, and this
action is the most cruel and atroeious
response that was ever given to petitions
for so holy au object 1t is sufficient
