THE CENSUS.

The Washington special Of the New York
Tribune says:
WASHINGTON, August lo-General Wal
ker has, within the past week, increased his
clerical force to the number which the law
allows, SO that the increased work of the
bureau can be promptly met and accom-
plished. The old law in reference to the
taking of the census, and under which they
are taking the present census, is so imper-
feet that Superintendent Walker has had
much trouble and vexatiOus delay in OBJ
tanning the returns in a perfect and satisfac-
tory manner. 1t appears that the deputy
marshals who are appointed to take the
census, are directly under the orders and
directions of the marshals, and the marking
out of the subdivisions in the various States
have been entirely under the direction of
the Marshals, and corrections or orders
from General Walker have had to be made
as suggestions. He states, however, that BY
next Monday he will have the total popula-
tions of Maine, Delaware, Connecticut,
and Rhode Island, also the Eastern and
Southern Districts.
By the first of September the Northern
District Of New York, Maryland and Ohio;
by the fifteenth of September, all the States
and Territories except Texas and Oregon,
and a portion of Western Michigan, which
will not be completed by the first of OctO-
ber He will be able to give the complete
population of the country by the tenth of Oc-
tober. He says that by the first of September
he will be able to give the population of all
the large cities Of the country, except San
Francisco, and this latter by the tenth Of
September General Walker is of the opin-
ion that if the law had been amended at the
last session, the government would have
saved much money, as since the first of June
1000 deputy marshals have been appointed
whose services would have been unneces-
sary if the work had been done stimuli
taneously. He has made an estimate, and
places the total population of the country at
4O, 10000. He cues that the large cities
will fall twenty per cent below the esti-
mates placed upon their populations, for the
reason that the estimates are all based upon
calculations made of the number who are
arriving in the city.
But no note has been taken Of those who
have left. The ChicagOans are now much
disappointed over their figures. showing but
$50. 600. when they expected 100000, but it
is the same with Cincinnati, where they
claimed over 800, 900, and have but barely
100000. 1t is so in all the Western cities,
and to larger figure in the Eastern cities.
He says that the number Of houses unoccu-
pied in the large cities is almost fabulous,
and is proof Of the fact that many per
sons are leaving the larger cities and going
West and South. General Walker proposes
to give to the country all the information
gathered as rapidly as he obtains it, and he
will not wait for several years until q book
can be- published. He is laboring with his I
CORDS Of clerks with much earnestness to |
get the work sufficiently ahead SO as to give !
TO Congress next December q full and inter- |
esting report Of our population, trade, busi- |
ness, manufactures, mines, lands, etc.

Sons of Louisiana Railroad Excursion.

The excursion of fifteen miles on the
Chattanooga railroad, and the promenade
concert, under the auspices of the Benevo-
took place on Sunday, to the especial enjoy
ment Of great many people.
The cars provided made four different
trips in the course of the day, leaving the
foot of Canal street, at eight and half-past
ten o'clock in the morning, and at two and
halfpast FIVE O'Clock in the afternoon. The
arrangements were extremely republican in
their simplicity, but very effective for com
fort and enjoyment. The means of convey
ance consisted of number of freight cars,
securely rallied at the sides, protected by an
extempore roof of heavy canvas, but other
wise entirely open to the breeze, and amu1y
provided with comfortable chairs.
At each trip this train carried off happy
crowd, as fully bent ON enjoyment as ever
was Mrs. Gilpin, and as much ''agOg to drive
through thick and thin The cheapness of
the fare brought the excursion within the
parvous means of numbers of the juvenile
community.
So there were crowds of little men, each
one brimfull of the occasion, and feeling as
if the whole affair had been gotten up for
his individual delectation. A fine band of
music enhanced the pleasure, which was
none the less from the attention given to
the excursionists by the crowds in the
streets through which the train passed.
On the ground every thing had been ar
ranged for the enjoyment of the pleasure
seekers. There was restaurant profusely
supplied with good things, not omitting am
pie materials to comfort the thirsty. A
dancing floor, with capital band, was oc-
cupied by crowds of dancers, and a fine
breeze so allayed the heat of the weather
that the dancing was enjoyed by both par
takers and spectators.
Everything had an air of extemporiness
that probably made it all the more enjoy
able. 4f.
At the very lowest estimation there were
twenty-five hundred people on the ground
with ample room for more. 1t was not till
the last return train was about to leave,
when all those who had prolonged their en-
joyment to the last moment were COM
PEELED to return on that train, that any
thing like crowding was felt. But |
there was no annoyance in it, for everybody |
was in high good humor, and each disposed |
to accommodate his neighbor The last |
train arrived at theIfo of Canal street a
little after eight o'clock. There was
no accident or disturbance of any kind, and
everybody seemed to feel that they had
good day of inexpensive pleasure.
The superintendent Of the excursion was
n the hands of several members of the So
,iety of the Sons of Louisiana, and the ex-
RENE courtesy of these gentlemen, and their
,are for the safety of the younger passen-
gers, and the comfort of all, deserves the
highest commendation.
The excursion was projected by the Be-
levolent Association Of the Sons Of Louis
ana for the benefit of their tomb fund, and |
here is no doubt that they have met with
deserved success.

A New York special to the Louisville


AS the steamboat NOrwalk was rapidly
steaming from Coney Island to this
city tonight, with one thousand pas
sengers, she collided with sloop. The
shock was extremely great, shaking. the
steamer from stem to stern, and causing a
frightful panic among the passengers. Sew
eral were knocked into the water, among
them two children, who fell from their
mothers arms. 1t is supposed at least
eight lives were lost, but neither the names
nor the number lost can be ascertained to-
night. "A tugboat hurried to the rescue, but
picked up only two men. The Norwalk
was found to be seriously damaged. Her
wheel-house was carried away, and a large
hole was made in her side, through which
the water was pouring into her hold A ting
took her in tow, and reached Atlantic Dock,
Brooklyn, just in time to discharge all her
before the steamer went down.

The Parable Of tho Tulents--The Danger Of
NegIecting to Improve Our FacuIlies-Sor-
mon by the Rev. MIR. Potter.
AT this fashionable church yesterday there was an
unusually large audience. Towards the hour for
service the aisles rustled with the 1Ow OF costly
silks, while well-dressed men--in smaller quantt-
ties-,alled up the corners of the pews. The music
was, as usual, perfect, and tho entire service was
characterized by subdued and demure air, which
seems the leading feature In well bred and aristO
cratic devotion.
The Rev. Mr.. Potter preached the sermon taking
for the subject OF his discourse the parable Of the
talents, ending with the well known passage
"WhOso exalteth himself shall be abased,r &c. lie
began by saying that he had frequently thought OF
the rebuke contained In tie text to those men who
ascribed all prosperity in this world TO the blind
rial and spiritual things alike, If exercised the
gilt committed TO our charge, God would give us
something nObler aud better; whereas II We neg
lected 1t He would take 1t away altogether. This
ish applied to the ordinary world as well
as to intellectual and moral spheres OF ac-
tion. For instance, look at our capacity
to increase our muscular strength, though
it must be noticed that TO whatever height we
carried our powers In that direction should fail
to equal the brute creation. The camel would still
excel us In endurance and the horse IN speed and
dog IN scent But In intellectual and moral pursuits
THIS power OF increasing our capacity immensely
greater than In the lower world. Intellectual apti.
tude might be cultivated until the exercise OF the
particular faculties involved became the grand pur-
suit and pleasure OF life, and altogether to be
labor. But 1t was In
SPIRITUAL PURSUITS,
whci OughS to be tho CHIEF object OF our existence,
that tins capacity OF Increase was greater wile ae
