EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRRNCR-A mo.

NATIONAL WEALTH. The census re-
turns do not show q material incrense in
the national wealtbi In 1850; the total
valuation OF all descriptions Of property
was $40, SOC, 600. 900. In 1s7O;- the total
was $l8. 1000, 100000. showing an inr
crease Of $4,000, 100000, or. less. than
twenty-five per cent. during ten years.
while the increase in the preyious decade
was seventy-fve per cent. There was
no public debt Of any consequence in
1860. We now owe about SO, 500, 900. 900.
Deducting the national debt from the
present valuation OF property, there will
be no increase in the valuation Of pro-
perty over that of 1860. Ten years ago
/. the census showed population of
10000, 900; now there are about 100000
600; yet the 10000, 900 Of people have
no moro property than the 100000
did ten years ago. According to these
figures, the country is no better off than
1t was ten years ago. The New York
Nation, in summing up these facts, says:
''The true condition Of the country, as
shown by assessment statistics, just pub
lished. by the Census Bureau is simply
this: The progress in wealth of the en-
tire country is not equnl to the increase
in the national debt, withont counting
the enormously Increased debts Of States,
Counties and towns. 4 The FORMER slave
holding States have materially declined
in wealth. The rest Of the country has
advanced in wealth. beyond the ncoumu-
lation Of the debt. about one-third as
much as in the previous decade; but
even this advance is chiefly due to the
fictitious rise in the prices Of. real estate
due to speculation.

Ex-Gov. PEkRY ON TIE SHuAT1oN.-A
correspondent Of The New York Tribune,
who has been visiting Greenyille, writes
as followa: b, .&
Gteenville is the homelof ex-Gov.
Perry, who Was made Provisional Cover
nor by Andrew Johnson. 7 had short
talk with him upon South Carolina poll
tics. He appeared TO- feel keenly. the
continuance Of, his political disabilities,
and introduced the subject nt the outset
OF our conversation, saying that he had
been an original Union man. and had
fought eecesaior nneil. tla:war ACTUALLY
commenced; but that Notwithstanding
this be was not now upon political equal
.ity with ootton-feld and cofH-field Mig
gers, and could not hold the smallest
Office. This personal grievance seemed
to color his opinions of sil public ques-
tions. He took gloomy view Of the
situation in the State, fenring that there
was no peaceable remedy for the evils Of
Q qorrupt legislation and administration
and oppressive taxation. and that violent
outbreaks would be the result. He fa-
yored the plan of minority representa-
tion, but saids that. it could not be
:. brought into operation for nearly two
years. and that wonld be too fur off to
meet the present emergency, Speaking
I: Of the ex0rbitant taxes. he Bald: eve
( are as law-ahiding n people, ns cau be
found on the faee Of the. earth. The
:. taxes, unreasonable as they are, would be
, .cheerfnlly paid. il the people had conf
dence that they would be inaed for honest
purposes; but they believe: that the
money extorted from them will 90 to
swell the gains Of the, nnsorupqlous
: Northern adyentnrers who are enriching
{ themselves by piun3ering the State. !"
The Governor was severe UPON the ma.
tive white men who had joined the Re-
publican party. Iventufed to deprecate
the intolerant spirit which denounoes as
scallawags and thieves Southern men of
!, property and known character for hon
! esty, merely because they have identified
themselves with the Republicans--in
many cases, perhaps. with the patriotic
desire OF doing their State service, by
influencing the ignorant negroes to elect
good men to Office. But the Governor
was not willing to admit that any honest
white man in South Carolina could be q
radical, and said. rather tartly, "When q
. man joins band OF rogues, he must
! expert to be. looked upon as rogue. "
Gov Perry is a good example Of the folly
of keeping up political disabilities in the
South. If there had been an act Of gene
ral amnesty passed three or four years
ago, in all probability, he would to-day
be en- aotive Republican, representing
his district in Congress, or filing some
other Office where his talents and integ-
rity would be OF service to the peoplelof
his State: as il is, the stupid policy OF
j prescription pursued by Congress has
forced him into the Dem ooratic party.

At 8 later period a petition to the General Assembly was put in circulation by the divisionists. and has since been forwarded to it's destination. How many names were appended to it l know not.

 Through coming time let the old County stand As she has stood more than century:
 Touch not her limits with ruthless hand,
 To satisfy jealous rivalry. Her hils and rocks and vales and streamlets clear To allher sons and daughters should be dear. Who would be severed from the old domain?
 What truant son would sec her glory wane?
 Who ofher children would not wish to have it said 'sHis was the Mountain County with her honored dead" .-3 F. .gas.-ay. 59A .sl.,
