The years of Railroading in the United States. --The world has probably never witnessed, in any department of industrial and mechanical development, such an extraordinary phenomenon as that of railroad construction in the United States during the last ten years. Railroading had commenced long before, but the larger portion of the immense number and magnitude of railroads in this country has been made between 1860 and 1860, and almost altogether between 1850 and 1857. To show this clearlyUnited States during the last ten years. Railroading had commenced long before, but the larger portion of the immense number and magnitude of railroads in this country has been made between 1860 and 1860, and almost altogether between 1850 and 1857. To show this clearly and strikingly, we will present the length of railroads in each State. In each of the years 1850 and 1860, as near as we can ascertain them.

Dissatisfied with the United States census. --The citizens of Philadelphia, dissatisfied with the inaccuracies of the United States census, and believing that their resident population far exceeds that allowed them by official returns, are having the population counted over again by enumerator of their own. The census exhibits that while Philadelphia has 5,118 more dwelling-houses than New York and Brooklyn combined, her resident population is nearly 250,000 less than that of the former cUnited States census, and believing that their resident population far exceeds that allowed them by official returns, are having the population counted over again by enumerator of their own. The census exhibits that while Philadelphia has 5,118 more dwelling-houses than New York and Brooklyn combined, her resident population is nearly 250,000 less than that of the former city alone — a discrepancy which the Press thinks the amended returns will correct in favor of Philadelphia, and show her to be possessed of nearly or quite 650,000 inhabitants, 82,000 more than is assigned her by the census.

written a letter, the substance of which is that the Union must be maintained, and the only way to maintain it is by force of arms. Abolition prints are busy in working up the Northern mind to the belief that the only persons disposed to uphold the rights of the South "are the scum of society — characters who have nothing to lose, but plunder to gain by commotion and civil war."--"Slavery," says the Chicago organ of Lincoln, "breeds, in frightful numbers, these lawless, licentious ruffians; they swarm in all Southern towns and cities." As the day is brilliant, I suppose the receptions at the White House, and elsewhere, will be pretty well attended. Numbers of people are here to witness, for the last time, the New Year's festivity of the capital of the United States. When the next New Year's day comes round, these marble palaces will be blackened by fire and battered with balls. Only the inter position of Providence can save Washington city from the horrors of a sack. Zed.
The Daily Dispatch: January 3, 1861., [Electronic resource], The President's New Year's reception. (search)
The President's New Year's reception. The Star of Tuesday evening says: The reception at the Executive mansion to-day was a rather meagre one, compared with some former ones. At 11 o'clock the representatives of the principal foreign Governments attended in full official costumes, as also the Army and Navy officers resident and temporarily here, and the Judges of the Supreme Court and Court of Claims, paying their respects to the President of the United States. At 12 o'clock M., the doors were thrown open to the public, but, as already stated, the rush was not so great as on some previous New Year's receptions, a fact due not a little, we presume, to the awful condition of the "slush-covered" streets. The only noticeable feature of the occasion was the fact that both secession and Union cockades were visible upon the persons of not a few present, females as well as males, and that in more than one instance the wearers of such badges evinced the fact that they were

On the other hand, the press of France, a country which is in no wise responsible for the existence of slavery in the United States, and whose commercial relations with the United States are not to be compared in magnitude and value with those of EnUnited States are not to be compared in magnitude and value with those of England, expresses its opinions upon American affairs, not only with the characteristic dignity and politeness of the nation, but manifests a profound and genuine interest in the welfare of our country. "France," says La Presse, "the most ancient allyf La Presse, whilst Americans will recognize in its wise counsels and fraternal spirit the truest and best friend the United States has ever had in the Old World. It is time of trial that separates the wheat from the chaff, the real from the un awarded to no other nation. She was our ally in our revolutionary struggles; she is a more faithful ally now of the United States than many of the States are of each other. All honor to the loyal and heroic Cavalier of the nations. Long may her

of the fort, but the committee returned home this evening, resolved upon taking care of the entire Cape Fear section. The committee dined at the Kane House, with Speaker Clarke, of the Senate; John Spelman, editor of the State Journal; Capt. Hoke, a member of the House of Commons, from Lincoln county, and several others. The course of President Buchanan is universally condemned here. The revenue cutter William Aiken. It has already been stated that Capt. Coste, of the United States revenue cutter William Aiken, at Charleston, had resigned his commission. It is now alleged that he subsequently swore in his crew as sailors of the independent State of South Carolina, and hoisting the Palmetto flag, proclaimed the vessel and her appurtenances the property of the said independent State. The officers under Captain Coste were--First Lieut. Underwood; second Lieut. H. O. Porter, (a son of the late Commodore Porter,) and third Lieut. H. J. Gambrill, of Md. It is stated th

Fast day. --The President of the United States having recommended Friday, Friday, January 4th, as a day of fasting, humiliation and prayer, the occasion will be generally observed in this city, by holding religious services in the different churches. Richmond, to-morrow, will no doubt present the usual aspect of a Sabbath day, so far as most departments of business are concerned.
