INSTANT AND FuTurE.—From tho Lirth this country bas lived more in the . The great every sort that has marks career and signalized it beyond other histories has been employed chief. ly a8 am index to other increments, surpassing all previous. To-day this ten~ ‘dency to fore cast ig more di then over, says the Wort’ A + atiticipation runs riot. The cause leading to it in a Menstite excuses the ‘tendency. ~ We are at last on the grave of slavery, _ that so long acted as an eccentric agent one extraordinary accretion. will the. —thatin which our tale is be gp: at Bs, oad? That Sd which preparation a n jimmie liable to the pins ‘modifications. Cubs is gaining power over Spain, and if Cuba. gaina freedom. ‘her. annexation is certain. The Dominion of Canada. is not indisolub! Great Britain ; if loosened, she gravitates naturally and necessarily to the t federation. Two years ago, the et fra had 3,700,000. inhabitants. Tho increase she has had, if maintained, would give her 14,890,000 residents at. = close of the current century—59000 a century hence. Canada has upon every interest, and therefore on “~ ~_9ygty computation. We have passed the crucible crucible test ‘of a great rebellion, and demonstrated both the homogeneity and permazience of our empire. We have stood up under a debt that was hardly ever paralleled, and it ig being lessened.. We have crossed the whole continent with railwaya. The govern-. “ment has: been maintained,and the great struggle has only approved it more completely, and shown its efficacy in all eat to equal what we kiew __of it im some.: One foreign government . driven from. continent ; one has beon brought out; another is struggling desperately against deposition ; a fourth is trying to avert the same fate by concession and anges in its functions.. Just at this instant of change anil point of both arrival and departure, we come to the usual decennial enumeration of the country. Its figures, covering the whole term of our troubles, will enable us to know what our losses and ‘gains have been,” This solid footing of absolute knowledge 1 will direct our steps on many in Questions, and. upon those mightier ones that are heralded in regular steam transit from Canton to San Francisco, and from San, Francisco from Phitadolphia vo Liverpool ; in. ray agitations that seom likely to rend Cuba from Spain;in the slow anitannns of Mexico, and the a nationality that prothlede to be conti~ nental. For seventy years we have made an average popular increase of 34 per cont. each decade. This ratio would give us 42,000,000 population in 1870} And thtugh the war interfered with the increase, it is hardly probable that we shall fall below 41 000,000, against 38,000,000 returned by the last French census, ‘and less than 30,000,000 in Great Britain. If this isso, the rate will establish 54,000,000 in 1880,more than 71,000,000 in 1900; and about 95,000,000 for the twentieth century. And this though our Borders should not. be enlarged. But oug wholp history is one of increase. Sq. miles. We had, when. our indepen~ $ denée wassccured, « 815,615 With Louisiana, in ‘1808, 930,928 Florida, in 1821, added, 59,263 Texas, in 1 brought, 287,505 Oregems in 1846, added 280,425 California.in 1847; secured, 649,762 Arizona, in’ 1854, added, 27,500 Alaska, in 1866, gave us, 577,890 Making in all, 8,578,398 This is the positive territorial growth since 1786—from 815,615 to 3,578,398 square milés, gained trom England, from. France, front’ Spain, from Mexico, from Russia from al] contaguous coun. tries, There is nothing in all .this ‘to prove that the greater power—jreater in population, in developement of all sorts, in communication, in ‘wealth and in prestige—will not attract to itself as strongly a8 the «less, and that at the close of the century our population will not be less than 100,000,000. In 1810 a calculation of the future growth for the future decades of the century was made that has been verified within three hundred ‘thousand on every occasion, and within less than one hundred thousand in @ majority of instances. That estimate placed out census at 31,753,824 in 1860; it was 31, 445,089; at 41,328,482 in 1870 ; 56,450,241 in 1880, 77,266,989 in 1890, and 100,355,985 -in 1900. This estimate was further followed to 138,000, 000 in 1980, 177,000,000 in 1940, 235,000,000 in 1970, and 283,000,000 i in 2000. ae ™ doubled her = 180 thi every eighteen years since’ 1 this country every . twenty-three. It°may be doubtful— whether our proximate growth will first take in this territory, or whethet it will again move south. It is in order for the pendulum to swing toward the equster, and only to touch the pole nh on the rebound. There are 218 Square —s olated waiting that moments um. r,, Webster, who is. urging. Semnigation to Canada; says that the annual increment to the United States is 100,000,000 from immigration alone, and urges the fact as a reason why the Dominion should struggle for that help The subject is one that affects our immediate policy and prosperity, but it is not one to be decided with a few words atany time. Its result was marked in ong memoirs of Talleyrand, now soon-to a ublished, in which he says: n the side of America Europe must always have her eyes open, and not furs nish any pretext for recriminatiou ‘or sal. America is increasing every day. She will becomea colossal power and a moment must arrive when, placed on more easy communication with Europe by means of new discoveries, she will wish to say her word in our affairs, and have a hand in them. Political pradence, therefore, imposes on governe ments of the old continent the care of scrupulously watching that no pretext shall be offered for such an interven~ tion. The day that America shall plant her foot in Europe, peace and security will be banished fora long time.” These considerations lead to speculations that can be comprehen er ended. All of them are, however, friendly to us, and page cs of the great railroad and the enumera are but intri re in a p duct it dazes the mind REARRESTED.—A few days since,says the San Francisco Chronicle,we reported the arrest of D, Gordan, late editor of the Petaluma Argus, as a deserter from the United States Army, and his subse~ quent release. It appears that’Gordon, during a-druaken spree, exposed himself, and furnished such evidence as caused bis regrrest, and he is now doing penance for his imprudenco i in Alcatraz jail. Victory Minze.—This mine is situated on Massachusetts Hill, and has beon.worked during the summer, off and on, for eight years, the water having’ occasioned intermissions in operas‘ tions. A shaft has been sunk to the depth of 20 fect, and a dnft run 300 feet onthe ledge, The mine has been thoroughly prospected and they have a good, well defined ledge. Considers able rock has been taken out, which has averaged $14 to the ton. A whim has been erected for hoisting, and it is the intention of the owners to put up steam machinery soon. The mine is owned others. So.says the Grass Valley National. A Man Suep ror $40,000 ror En~ TICING AWAY ANOTHER Man's WiFze.— In the Fifteenth District Court of San Francisco, Thursday last,says the Chron. icle, asuit was commenced by Neal Ger~ genson against Peter -Lane, and in his complaint alleges that in the month of May, 1867, while the plaintiff was living and cohabiting with his wife, Sophie C. Gergenson, on California street, and while they were living thus happily together, the defendant did maliciously entice her away from the plaintilf and detain her away in opposition to his utmost peaceful efforts. Plaintiff claims that the said Sophie wag alienated for him and her affections destroyed, and he was deprived of her society and assistance ; that the defendant debauched her and injured him ia the sum ae “$40,000 and costs of suit.
