TIlC Richmond Enquirer otitic* that in the Inst report of the auditor of Public Accounts is an estimato of the population in the Stale, which shows an increase of 230,000.

The actual returns of the counties referred to exceed the estate in the West and fall below it in the East. The Enquirer observes that if the present ratio of representation in Congress is preserved, the increased population in the State, when taken in connexion with the fractional excess at the last apportionment, will give three additional members of Congress.

My derided opinion is. you as Trustees hnv-O'it 'in- your power largely to assist in redeeming Pendleton village from her seeming ashc*. You have in charge buildings and a lot worth ten years ago ten thousand dollar*.? The completion of the railroad has don'.led its value. As private gentlemen, the vicinity of Pendleton has claims on you for the extension of education ; as a corporate body, and having extensive buildings, how much in >re have thoy the right to expert from you the dissemination of knowledge. N >w. take this simple \iewnf the fact " professional, mercantile and mechanical operations go to enrich individuals.

Wo select front the Chicago panel's a few incident# of this terrible disaster : Of the Union (Suards, ('npt.MJest, forty- >ne rank and lile, but six members, privates, rctna:n alive; of the Mihv.iukic City Baud of eleven musicians who accontpaiiicd them, there [ arc but two survivors. Of the gaj' cxcUt- j siouisls, their female companions, wives and i sweethearts, how few survive Jet the brief list j tell. What wonder tlu'n that Milwaukie turned ' out her mourners hy thousands, and that she j bccomcs the chief centre uf sympathy and interest. From our reports, by the hasty extras of Milwaukio papers, and later by the telegraphic dispaehes, we are able to answer many inquiries of our readers. When the intelligence of the loss of the steamer, with the excursion party of Union Guards, reached Milwaukie, it spread like wildfire through the city. The telegraph and newspaper officers wore thronged all day with parents, brothers, sisters and friends of those on board, and the telegraph lines given nn oxr.lnsiif<?lv to fmnnnrnlm# I J ? -1 ...... ...V, | disaster. Many who prosontod dispatches! were in tears, nnd the most intense anxiety and excitement was manifested in the countenances of all. Ladies came to inquire for husbands, children for mothers and fathers, brothers for sisters, and some of the scnncs presented were the saddest ever witnessed. Among the passengers were several member* of the common council, four or five of the city police, the military, firemen, &c. In the First Ward, it is said, that there in scarcely a home or place 01 oumiucss uut ni>s lost koiiic inmate or employee. * All the survivors unite in according t<> Oapt, Jack Wilson, the commander o'* the iii-ftitud steamor, praise for brnvery nna during, such as so often sheds upon the fame of the bravo sailor laurels that time cannot dim. True to his duty and his manliness, ho was throughout the foremost in confronting danger, cool and collected in his encounter, instant and earnest for the safety of his passengers. For a iong time in that company of fifty on the raft ho held in his arms tliayoung child of a lady passenger, chccred his com* pnnions in peril, and his last words, as ho ncared the fatal lino of surf, were of oncour i J _1 \T * I - - agi-muiii uneer, ** now, Doys, lOOK out tor tho breakers ahead."
