SOITUSIDF POPULATION.

The census report for the counties OF
southside Virginia will be awaited with
special interest, in ANTICIPATION ga .uD H. L.,
which ii will throw upon the growth Of the
negro population in this state, this popula-
ton being chiefly found in that division OF
the Commonwealth. 80 far Us the details
OF the census report for Virginia are known,
there has been a decline in the number OF
the inhabtabitants Of many OF the counties
of the Southside, including Amelia, Din
widdie, AppomattoX, buckingham, Char
lotte, Fluyanna, Halifax, Lunenburg, Pow
hatan, and Prince Edward, the loss of popu-
iatiOn i'm these counties amounting 10 about
5000 persons. No report has been received
from several counties in this part Of the
state, which will certainly show an addi-
tional loss Of two thousand. Mecklenburg
and Cumberland are instances in which
this may be expected.
II may be set down with confidence,
therefore, that in at least twelve counties of
Southside Virginia, there has been an az
gregate falling of IN the population Of at
least ten thousand individuals, and this de-
cline in number il confined substantially 20
the negroes, no emigrating fever OF i'm
portance having been developed among the
members Of any class Of whites below the
highest, who constitute but small part of
the whole white population. For many
years there has been growing disposition
among the negro men Of SOuthside Virginia
TO leave their homes in consequence, first,
Of their natural restlessness, and secondly,
OF the higher wages which they could Sc
cure on the public works. The larger pro-
portion Of these men never return 10 their
former domiciles, as they are generally
young men without ties Of family. con-
siderable proportion, however, do return at
certain seasons Of the year, but only for a
short time. The census was taken in the
absence Of this class, and, therefore, the de-
cline In the population Of the counties
named, has not been quite 80 great as APP
poars upon the face Of the returns which
have been made. Nevertheless, there has
been very remarkable decline in the negro |
population OF these counties.

FROM the assessment returns which have
been made so far. the increase in values i'm
the state as "A whole is much greater than
was expected "a few weeks ago. The falling
Off in the aggregate values in a number OF
the northern counties, which enjoy uncom-
mon advantages IN the point Of. soil and sit
uation, is more surprising than the rise i'm
values i'm certain counties which are in
large degree lacking in these advantages.
The only explanation of this unexpected
condition Of things is that values have
been assessed hitherto too high len the
former, and two low in the latter. 1t seems
abnormal that property should have de-
clined very heavily in value in many Of the
counties OF the Valley and Piedmont and
grown IN many Of those Of Tidewatcr and
Southside. but this difference is no doubt
due to an unjust inequality i'm the general
valuations under the last assessment. 1t is
