Tltiors trm (dectetl to a teat in tlta in the French Cliiiiiilier of Deputitu, Inst May the lovers of independent thought and fearless IVi'o spi't'clt congratulated themselves upon thd fuel (hut France had nt letist ono Keitesentii tivo who V70tild not hesitnto to spotvk his 0011. vint iuin upon iiiitiomil topics, even though these should run counter to tho emperor's poli cy. The result hits more than justified tlieso expeottitions. It is only n few days sinco the whole policy which Nnpolenn has manifested in feguril to Mexico, received it searching re View anil southing- criticism ul the hands of Unit emimint French historian and statesman. The demand mado upon Mexico for tho immediuto payment of two hundred million francs, when her entire annual revenue has always been less than fifty millions, he characterises as exorbi tant and unreasonable. Rut, unreasonable its wits this demand, the folly of the emperor's policy tvas evinced in tho attempts of armed mtcrfercnoo with the intornnl affairs of the country, nnd the forcing of tho plans and in tentiniii of thnt party of tho Mexicans which was in a deoided minority. These tliiugs.bow evcr, unreasonable and unwise as they were, nro now iu the pact, nnd tho responsibility of them resU only with the emperor. But tho deputies are reminded that their responsibility ooiumoRoei now, and that if Maximilian i al lowed to sot sail for Mexico, under the ausnioei of French protection, the French nation will have to assume the entire oare of tlie now monarch and the gunrdiunship of his empire. There will bo no treasury for him to depend upon hut tho French, and it must bo the bayo nets of Frenchmen only thatoan maintain upon thutlironiMvhioli he has ancent'tl tlironirli thn Importunate intrijfuiiiir of the French Emne- ror. In a word the question as stated by Thiers is this : Cnu Franco afford to e-tnblisli an empire iu Mexico and guarantee Its main tenance J It may be an east' task now. while tho United Slates is harassed bv its civil struir- gle, but not fnr off in tho future the French iberal sees tho tune when tho American rentih- lio will liava settled its domestic questions Then, even if tho government should be will ing lo have a Gnllio mouarchy forcibly estab lished at her verv duors.thero will be thousands of soldiers who htive fought too loug for repub lican institutions to be willing to see the Mexi can republic ill-starred as it has been, sup planted by a French Monarchy. The efforts of Thiers and his party were of course ineffect ual, so far us determining tho conduct of the deputies was enncerned, and the amendments to the address of tho deputies to the emperor. expressing disnpprohnliou uf the Mexionn ex pedition were rejected by a vote of PJ9 to 47. Hut the fact that iu Franoe, the nnlicv ol tho emperor can be reviewed with impartial candor hi icKiiiuiive nuns, is a Btgnincant one ; una the fact, loo, (hat one-fifth of tho French Chamber of Deputies ore willing to take the odium of public and official nnnositinn ,tn Louis Napoleon's fnvorito noliov. is one which the emperor of the French Nation will do well lo heed. AJIEBICAX (iROfllll AXfl BKSOIKCES. Tho report recently made to the State Do nrtiuciit by Sumuel 11. Ituciles. tho American delegate to the International Statistical Con gress, wliich was held at llcrlin in September last, gives some fitcts iu regard to llio compar ative growth of our country and iu increased resources. While the population of Franoe has increased 37 per cent, in the last sixty ears, nuu that ol Euglund 121 per cent, the increase iu America hue been 5U.J per ceut. During the lust decade merely tho newer west- rn oiaies oave received an acoesston of over whore Silesiau popVi'uTion''iorfwliycirfiij.'I.'!.T the Great battled seven years, und fur iu ex cess of I lie population of Sootluiid, for the pos session ot which iMigtauu strove so long. And (his vast ucoession was gained from the older Slates and from Europe nnd was occasioned by (lie increased developments of agricultural und mineral resources. Duriiip- this sntnu de cade the assessed value of the property uf these Mates was increased Iroin 9, 1 JD.UUO.IIIH) to $:j,U2G,(MK),DU0. Five veurs increase of wealth at such rales would purchase every commercial vessel iu Christendom. The increased capacity of these States for the production of vegetable and animal food, lias fully kept pace with tlie increase iu popu lation. The improved laud of this group of States has increased from 2(j,fir!0,3(il acres in 1850 to 51.6,3!)5 in JrjoU, and tho number of acres that are still unimproved is 230,UUSJU3. The amount of land that has been thus taken from the forest anil the nruirlu and reduced to cultivated farms is equal to seven-eigths of Ltigianus s.ijuu.ikhi ol arable acres, and there are twenty-eight times 2tj,000,U00 acrea that are only wailing strong nnd Hilling arms to make lliein food producing and meu sup porting. When Ibis is iluue, tho H.UOO.DOO w oo inhabit these Slates to-day may be multi plied nitttiy times, anil still there will be mom. The increase of cereals during the period un der review was aCJJ.fO.'ilj bushels, while the swine increased from cU'i(i.lc!J, lo 1 1 .0W.3.VJ, and the cattle from 4,;l;t.7I2 to 73l,c)l). less t haii one hundred hours suffices to trans fer the contents of the Western eranaries to Eastern warehouses, and to take cuttle from the Mississippi prairies, nnd place lliem in slaughter houses upon the Atlantic A famine in America, or even in any part of the world, will be impossible, for the Western Stales are nbuiidantly capable uf feeding ull the ualiuus. No country can siiow such a rapid nnd perma nent growth ns ours ; nnd none can give Impel for thu future so abundant und sure. GltOWINa POPULAHITYOF TUB NATIONAL Banks. The National bunkinc system is growing into pnblio favor rapidly and surely. imiever nppiisiiinn uieoiu naiiKS nave shown to it or may show to it in tlie future will Dot avail at all against it. The people like tlie new system, and what the people like is bound t go. Tho lending bankers of New York see which way tho wind ia blowing, anil am earnestly agitating the subject nf embarking either wholly or partially under thu new law. People nil over the country begin to show a relucfaitoe to take Mils ol the old banks without they are very near home. They want currency that has thu government green mark, and will have It. Ad vices from the West say that fanners there are very loth to lake bills on eastern banks and are imperative In their demand Tor greenbacks in payment for their produce. This shows which way the tide nf public opinion is selling, and fierhaps explain, w hy some uf those whu have leretufi re opposed the national system arc now iHvcouiiug anxious lo adopt l.rm(fuld Republican. Cum; for Weak Eyes. An elderly gentle man, accustomed lo " indulge," entered the room of a certain inii, where sat a grave friend by the fire. Lifting a pair of spectacles upon his forehead, rubbing bit inflamed eyes, and calling lor hot brandy and wpter, ho complain ed that hit "eye were growing weaker and weaker, and that even spectacles didn't seem lo do (hem any good." "I'll tell the, friend," replied Ih. Quaker, what I think. If (bee was to wear thy spsctaclei over thy inouth for a few months, thy eye Would come arouud gain. t7 A hoosii-r. having taken home a looking glaM in his trunk, one of his hopeful offspring wascutious to tee the contents of tlie iitystu r.nus box. The mirror Wat on the lop when the youngster oprm-d it, gate one brief ba.k. dropped the lid. and, with terror depicted on every feature, rxclaiiiird : "U, mother mother, father has brought home a young cub .'

In the night is a wailing, thai keenly hath clove Through my heart, like the pain of an unhappy love i And the Nutiou. in slumbers she will not resign, Is vexed nod disturbed by a sound and a sign j And sobs in her sleep, as tho warnings go past, 'There la danger and discord and Ju7A on the blast." And whence comes the wind I uud what causes llio puln ? And wherefore this whisper from Texas to Maine t And whv in the fullness and depth of her rest, Should the heart of our Mother in dreiims be distreis'dl Polomaeo'a blue water are dear as the skies. And the chiefs that sit bv them are vulint nnd wise ; Hut a low luughjng fiend to l heir counsels has stole, Ami darkens with tempest the calm of each soul. A poison unwonted corrodes in their veins, Wild fre.txy l racing their hearts and their brains, And tho diminn still hisses in whispers uf four, "Disunion I Ilisu ion I" in each maddened ear ; ' And this is the reason that pain and dismay Olide like ghosts thro' the uigbt and muke pallid the day t , And from thence are the sighs nnd the sounds tlwt have made For her children, the heart of our mother afraid. ' is it so f can it be f are thev prophets who say '' Tbut night shall return ou the light of our dny t , i Shall the despots whose hoolings ring slutrp in our ears Kxult iu our down Tall rejoice in our tears 'I '"- ' Was It all but a dreum, a bright vision that earns Ou the eauipa of our fathers, ill rough buttle and flnmof Did she whisper In vain, in each year us she passed, "There's a temple found here for Jehovah ut last I On this fresh land of God ye shall worship and dwell, And the sound of your joy slmll be tyranny's knell, Pass on through the Hi 7 by, your trials made strong! Leave not on four borders one foot-print of wrong.

Not an Inch of that Hug but win purchased by strife, Not, 11 thread iu iiswoof but was won by a life, 'Tis your ho) o your lust hope I while it flouts there shall be A land undivided, a rare that Is free. Will you dare you stand idle while madmen draw near And rend the bright banner that cost yon so dear f Speak aloud they shall listen for oh, they know well This life ia your fuvor, your anger their knell. One shout for the Unioii I one uheer for the baud Who reared ihe smr'd Hag in the night ot our laud. And we'll see who sliull whisper 'disiiuiun" or "strife'' When tlie heart of the nation rukiudles with life. 1 dud shield thee Green Ki iu 1 for manhood no more Has homestead, or harvest, or hope on thy shore t And France, like a Titan, awakened by pain, Struck only one blow ami now slumbers uguiii.

Edward Pollock, I808. A Romantic Incident The Culm (N. Y.) True Patriot records a romantic incident, which is said to have occurred in Alleghany county a short time since. A couplo wero married. The bride was as beautiful ns tho morning) her eyes like tho sun. The husband was pa triotic ; he enlisted and went to the war. A libertine from Cliautaniuo county snw the beautiful wife, and exclaimed : "Ye gods, how beautiful !" He sought her moiety, and osten sibly won her confidence. He proposed an elopement ; she consented, liu gave her ten fifty-dollar greenbacks to make tho necessary arrangements. She consented. The hour was fixed upon. The villain went to his hotel to sinnke the impatient hours away, when the fol lowing letter was put iu his hands : "Mr. : I have to in form yon tliat circum stances beyond niv control vi -vent ma. you to night. 1 expect my busbar J home on lurlotigu soon, to spend (Jhristinus anil IScw Year's, when wo shall enjoy a hearty laugh at your discomfiture.

There was n par ty of officer present nides nnd ol oilier ranks who were nlinnt as listless and Industrious as staff officera usually arc.and who were devoted to their several specialties in hnsincss.

General Sick ? What is the mailer with yon t Nojrro De doctor he says I got de atnnll pox, sub. Now, if the enemy had planted n battery within range, and dropped a shell iu tho midst nf Ihe parly, I doubt whether its exploslou would have exert ed a more potent influence in clearing the room than did this simple answer. The Soldiers' Vote. The Supreme Court of California has decided lo grant a rehearing in the soldiers' vote matter the case of Hour land et al, vs. Hildreth et nl. The rehearing will be probably had at the April term, and it is believed the former decision will bu reversed, ns the rehenring wns granted because of the fact that thn attention nf the Court ha. been called In authorities and facts that were not ho- fnro brought to its notice. We earnestly trust the decision will be reversed and justice done to a largo body of men lire. l7Tho cold in Polund is intense.

At Columbia thirty of our men escaped by tunneling the prison ' yard. At Salisbury (N.
