OUR NATIONAL GROWTH.

We have received the advance sheets of
census statistics from General Francis A.
Walker, Superintendent Of the Ninth Cen
sus, embracing statement of the wealth,
taxation and indebtedness Of the country, |
arranged by states and counties. From
this statement, which seems to have been
prepared with great accuracy and care, 1t
appears that the total real and personal
property Of the United States was $50 ,00s,-
5lS, 507 in 1870, as against SIG, l59, ,0GS
in 1860, and 81, 1875, 7s0, 22S in 1850.
This shows that Notwithstanding the
great drawback Of our civil war in the last
decade, the immense devastation of proper
ty that ensucd, and the diversion Of the
productive energy of the country in all its
great industries, our growth in wealth and
prosperity has been unexampled in the his
tory of any country on the globe. The
percentage of increase in wealth will be
70 ind to have reached over cighty-siX per
cent. during the period named.
But notwithstanding the growth of the
country as whole, the losses Of the rebel
lion bore with great weight and severity
u)on the states which participated in its
and it will take them some time to entirely
overcome the disadvantages they are labor
ing under by reason of the war which they
improvidently precipitated upon the coun-
try.
While the aggregate wealth of Pennsyl-
yania increased in the last decade from
sl,4l6,5Ol ,S18 in 1850 to 83,S0s, $40, ll2
in 1870, that of Virginia and West Viz
gina fell off from s657 ,02l 1886 in 1860 to
s5o5, 07s, 100 in 1870, which shows how
terribly she was scarifed by the war, and
how greatly her material resources suffered.
New York gains over two hundred and
fifty per cent. in her agricultural, manu-
featuring and commercial growth. Even
the purely agricultural states of the North
and West have greatly increased in wealth
and prosperity over any former decade, the
State of Illinois advancing to the high
figure Of one hundred and fitty-three per
o.nt. increase. Maine, Notwithstanding
the loss she has suffered in her shipping
interests, figures up an increase of eighty
three per cent. increase.
These are very significant figures, ant
such as no other nation on the globe has
the productive energy to show. During
four years of the time the two great sec
tons of the country were engaged in tn
most gigantic and destructive war Of mod
ern times. With the humiliation Of nearl,
one-half of the property values Of Virginia
our own showing is remarkable. We con
fidently expect that in the next decade sh
will show far more favorable record tina
the most enthusiastic and hopeful of he
citizens may now anticipate as possible
To do it, however, we must work--ben
our united energies to the full developmeT
of all our great material industries. L,
us take heart and hope and courage, an
make Virginia second to no other state
the Union in her industrial! and material r.
cord for 1880.

THE Report of the Commissioner OF
Indian Affairs to the Secretary of the In
terror for the year 1871, has just been is
sued from the Government Printing Office
in Washington, and will be found one OF
the most interesting and valuable, for the
extent and variety Of its information, which
has been issued from the Department for
years. With few exceptions, the humane
policy Of the government towards the ln-
dams has been fruitful of the happiest re-
suits. - ..

THE inquiry into tho charges against
Secretary Robson fully vindicates that Off
Ger in every particular. Even the attempt
to show that he entered into some irregu-
lar contracts, has utterly fallen through.
Mr.. Dana evaded being called as a witness
to substantiatc his own reckless charges,
and thus virtually abandoned the case he
had sought to make against the Secretary.

THE Government, in making demand
for the immediate release of DR.. Howard
from Spanish oppression, though delayed
longer than we could have wished, is time
ly and will meet with approval from all
parties in the country. The true policy of
the Administration is to deal sharply and
decisively with the Spanish authorities OF
Cuba, and give them to understand that
the rights of American citizens are in nc
case to be triled with. ..

THE REV. THOMAS DREW, who un-

tional church of Shepton Mallett. Somer-
setshire, England, has recently settled in
Virginia, and has decided to fix his resi-
dence at Wylliesburg, Charlotte county,
where he hopes to establish colony of
English Congregationalists. Fortunately
several members of this church had already
settled in Charlotte county when DR.. Drew
arrived, so that the way has been to some
extent opened for his successful labors
among his people. The Reverend Doctor
comes to our State with credentials of the
highest order, and we hope his efforts to
establish a colony of his own people here
will be crowned with abundant success.
