Last Thursday was most beautiful
day for the celebration of the battle OF
New Orleans, more commonly called
st. Jackson's day, and this year above
all others the Democracy throughout
the whole country had reason to cele-
brate it right royalty. The election of
a Democratic President calls to mind
many bright memories of the past, and
we can but turn back to the time OF
Jefferson, Jackson, and many other
sturdy old Democratic heroes, with
feelings of deepest respect for those
founders of IA grand old party which is
low triumphant and supreme. The
day was celebrated in grand manner
at Columbus, the speakers at the ban
quet in the evening including such
meu as Senator Payne, Governor
Hoadly, Judge Thurman, Gen. Durhin
Ward, Thomas +. Powell and other
distinguished Democrats of the State
The meeting was not so much to cele.
brate the victory of New Orleans rs il
was to celebrate the memory of him
who was statesman of the highest
order, noble man and staunch DEM
Ocrat. In Andrew Jackson was EN-
bodied the noble principles of Reform,
aud in the language of General Ward,
"He ran the plowsh h are of Reform
into the sterile fallOw ground of ley
sinecures, and fertilized the fields of
Office by new sunlight and air." Let
us ever remember the name of Andrew
Jackson, the old hero, and by so doing
We will keep in mind the gloriou-
principles and traditions of Ihe. national
Democracy, which seeks to defend
and perpeluaie the Constitution, the
States. and tO.preserve to the people
their heritage of liberty, equality, the
fruits of honest industry and the spirit
of everlasting brotherhood"

According to Superintendent walker.

The numbero OF residents Of the United

population, while OF the whole popula-
ton over 10 years of z As per cent.
are workers. Students, those incapable
OF work from injuries received, and
criminals, are not included in the work
ing population. It is noteworthy that
those males who have no occupation,
but live upon their private fortune,
form an Insignificant part OF the total
population The rapid increase OF tho
proportion Of workers in late years is
due 10 the increase of factories and the
extension of the principle Of the di-
vision OF labor. The former cause has
BEEN instrumental in bringing women
into the field OF labor, and thus largely
Increasing the percentage, while the in
iiuence Of the latter cause constantly
creates a new demand for labor.
The number of persons engaged in ag-
riculture Is largely in excess OF that In
any other occupation, forming A.. l per
cent. of the total working population.
The omission Of slave labor in the sew
cnth and eighth censuses has left no
standard Of comparison with the latter
censuses, as the amount of
labor engaged in cotton production in
the south was wholly unrepresented be
fore 1860. At the present time about
! 800, 600 of the 1000, 600 engaged in
agriculture are independent farmers and
planters, nearly 5000, 900 are farm
laborers, and 1850, 600 are florists, gar
deners. etc. II is safe to assume that
agriculture furnishes the means Of sus-
tenance to one-half of the total popula-
ton of the country. A vast increase OF
those engaged in mining has taken place
in late years.
Among the artisans, carpenters take
the lead in numbers, having Increased
from 1900 0O in 1850 to 373, 900 in 1850.
A reduction in the rate of increase is
noticeable in late years, however, due to
the manufacture by machinery of doors,
sashes. etc, work which was formerly
done by the job. The number of coop.
err and wheelw rights has suffered little
change since 1850 for similar reasons
Among those engaged in personal and
professional service, amounting to
4, te4, 900 persons, many grades OF labor
are included, from the lawyer, clergy
man, physician and teacher on the one
hand TO the barber, bootblaek and house
hold drudge on the other. The number
OF %clergymen has increased from 20, s42
in lsJ2 to 81, G9s in 1850; lawyers frol.

TmE London correspondent of the New
Yors Tribune gives the following inter
esting account Of the political situation:
In England, AS in every free country. all
things are discussed, criticised and debated
without reservoir the full lisht of day
sud hurry burly. IL Is only to those who
live in silence that the least noise is insup.
portable for those who have never sailed
on the sea, a squall Is q tempest. This
movement of the political machine is not
thoroughly comprehended on the continent
and its play, that of Investigating Russian
chicanc and disloyalty in the Afghan, in
stead Of striking strong and quick, is put
down to fear. But England has been in
the habit of making this ciiaiquc since
" centuries.
The forces of Russia must either be
overestimated or undervalued. The ques-
ton is not, how many soldiers she has, but
how many and in what time she can con-
centrate them at a given point That, inthe
eyes of judges here, is the first flaw in her
arnor. Then England will not permit a
ring to be organized, limiting the sphere
of her offensive action. She will ravage the
shores of Finland, as well as the Black
Sea, and for every material guarantee
taken by the ear in Afghan, England can
follow suit in the Caucasus. The Russian
army made an extraordinary quick march
in 1854. from Odessa to Sebastopol but
the only occasion where she took the of
fensive-at T~nkerman-she lost in killed
and wounded 1900 men. at the hands of
5000 English and 5000 French
Tenacity and patience are the latent
and redoubtable forces of England. She
guards her sang froid in good or bad for
tune. as did Rome in the time Of Hanni-
bal and Pyrrhus. and Britain herself I'M
der the two Pitts. 1t is the indomitable
persistency Of England which wins in the
end. 1t was not By allowing herself 10
be discouraged by the miserable cam
pairus Of the Duke of York and the dis
astrou- retreat of Moore that she nlti-
mately obtained her triumph over Napo-
leon. Gen. Delucy Evans, ! think it was

advantage only at he end of three unior-
tunate campaigns. Time will bring her
the hour and the mana it did the genius

conditions and the guarantees Of victory.
