Tin&w': rtifiSB ormcroles* the United States bate re cogn ised and, ,. fromibeir masters. Great Britain has made corap^mfsupn for slaves stolen FCT:trdo|>it ^m American citizens, at the requisition of the Federal-Government? Upon the principle-recognized-4n this-demand, and the .concession to it try .Great Britain,'the South ought to insist upon tbev formation of a treaty with Great Britain by the Federal Government for the* surrender of Fugitive Slaves. The Uriited States'have'already formed a treaty with England for the surrender of rogues, thieves, robh^s^n^rderers. and all other criminals, the object of which is to protect the lives arid property of her citizen's; and not the smallest depredation is ever committed op.on any other property, except slaves, that is not followed by antnstantaneous demand fcr redress. Upon what principle of justice is a difference made by the Federal Government in the property t>f tbe North and the property of the South? None that we can see. Yet thousands of slaves are annually spirited across the Canada Fron tt<*r, and protected by Bhtish subjects and laws against the pursuit of their masters. This subject fe-'tbo more important to the South, as withouftrSheh a treaty the provision of the'constitution providing for the surrender of Gfgitivelslaves, and the laws made ^pursuance thereof, are a dead letter,' and cannot be effectually enforced. If-all the fugitive slaves stolen from the South were stopped in the Northern States; they would very soon become a nuisance, and the identical men who are now the most fanatical abolitionists would become the most efficient "slave Gathers.'' It is well known that the Yankee has, in general, a mortal dislike for the African; he will not allow him to ride in the same carriage, sit at the same table or worship God in the same church with him. His abolitionism does not spring from love of the slave, but hatred of his master. As long, therefore, as he can annoy the South, without personal inconvenience; he will trade in negrophobia, but once the Canadas are closed against the African and Cuffee is forced either to become his neighbor, or be Sent back to slavery, all New England would rise as one man 10 pui nira in irons. As the matter now stands the fugitive slave law is a positive injury to the South. It drives the African into Canada, and allows the Yankee to indulge his sympathy for the fugitive" without any personal inconvenience to himself, or injury to the purity of his Saxcn blood.? But lot England deliver the fugitive slave to his master, and force the abolitionists either to colonise New England with runaway slaves or send them back tb the South, and we could afford to repeal the fugitive slave law. The loss that the South annually sustains, by. the running of slaves into Canada, is of sufficient importance to justify her public men in insisting bpon some action of the Government of the United States in the premises. And we confess our surprise that Southern statesmen here submitted with so much patience to the annual robbery of thousands of dollars worth of property to which she has as good right as to the land.they cultivate. The time is propi tious for the acquisition of all disputed rights from European powers. They cannot afford to break just now with the United States. Let our public men move in the matter, and we question not but that the President and the American Minister at St. James will give the movement a cordial support. Besides, this is a golden moment which may never return.? Before we get another sound man in the Presi dential chair, peace may he made in Europe, and the European powers become less inclined to look with favor upon the demands of Amer ica.? Columbus Times. Increase in Population.?Iowa is said to be growing in population most surprisingly, and this advance is not merely visible in the eastern section of tho State, but all through the interior, and away out to the western border, set ilements have grown up, and hardy-pioneers have invaded the stillness of the vast wilderness. The popular vote cast at the election last fcnrimr. showed a errcat advance bevond that polled in August, 1853, and now, in the short space of time which has elapsed since, there Is again the evidence of a large increase, the vote cast at the recent August election being much larger than that of the Spring. This is remnrkable, when we consider the nttrnc tions of California, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska, and other sections to which emigration is pouring in unfailing streams. But the fact is that it is only within a year or two that the real fertility of the soil of Iowa and the healthfulness of its climate have come to be rightly appreciated. Hence the rush of emigrants. It is curious to remark, however-, that all parts of our country appear to be flourishing and prosperous in the same degree, and this in a ratio far beyond anything known in the previous history of the United States. Our readers will have seen this by the numerous paragraphs we have published from time to time, showjng the population ot various towns and cities jiccordiug, to Jocal enumerations. Of course,,it is likely that the changes which may oceur between the present time and the period of tbe taking of the next.

The chief cities, at least in the Northern States, and we think, perhaps, also in the Southern"States, will be found to have attained a most surprising growth. So far as our own city is concerned, we may speak con- r fidentlyvas we are sure that in no previous period of our career has it made such astonishing progress. Ai)d from our own observation we can say the same of New York and Baltimore. In- fact^ these three great metropolitan cities appear to be the truest indications of the na tjcmAl pulse at all tinjes; and from their proximity, and the fntlrftnte connection which sub aists between their industrial and commercial interests they cannot help beiijg alike prosperous or the reverse.?

From harrassing importqpitiefi the Lalia ruthlessly threatened to have his house sold or razed to the ground and himself thrown Into prison; this decided the unfortunate man in his deed of desperation. Forthwith he resolved to destroy himself and family rather than suffer the indignity of having his domestic privacy invaded, and after winning his wife over to his sad determination, he. proceeded, in order to preclude the possibility of escape, to bind her together with his children fir.nly down to the ground, and locked the door of the apartment, and, after having placed plenty of combustible matter, snch as straw, shavings 'fend.bamboos about the house, lh<? poor wretch ,with stoical firmness wrapped his body well round with cotton, and, barricading the doors, set the house on fire, which being rapidly enveloped in flames was soon consumed together with the unfortunate suicides.

A Chinese Wonder.?Europeans and Americans are very apt to consider the Chinese as barbarians, when compared with our own arid other Christian nations. Yet we are constantly meeting with facts in relation to that singu-* lar people, which put to the blush all qurwain? glorious boastingi What are our great canals when compared with that extraordinary work of art, the Imperial Canal of China, which ym built by the Mongol Emperor, Kublai Khan^ and extends a distance of more than 600 miles? Great heights are tunnelled, lakes bridged, and stupendous embankments thrown over marshes and low ground to afford it a passage. Unlike our canals, its capacity as not limited to small boats, but large ships sail upon its waters, which are filed by mighty rivers, and serve not only the purpQso of a commercial highway ; but are used for the two-fold objects of irrigation and drainage, thus rendering available for cultivation much land which would otherwi6e bo useless. . This canal has been pronounced by Europeans a gigantic work, and one displaying sound practical engineering skill, and even genius in its construction. Yet it is only one among many achievements of art to be found on a larger scale in China than in any other country in the world. And- yet the race which produced these wonders is pronounced useless in California. Doubtless, they may be, for electioneering or warlike purposes, bnt in many other respects they will prove of quite as much utility to the Eureka Stale as their self-sufficient traducers. * ? Deepest Artesian Well in the World.? We were fortunate enough to direct our steps towards Belcher's immense Sugar Refinery on e> Ik?*.. _ a1 e 1 octi-uruuj' lur wie purpose 01 liiuitirig souiu observations of. the artesian well, which is now being bored at that place. Fortunate, we say, for we never spent an hour more to our interest and profit than the one employed in^witnossing the operation of the digging antl In learning the history and progress of the work. This well was commenced about six years ago by Mr. Belcher, his object being to secure for the purposes of his large Refinery a supply of pure wuter. For six months the operations were continued by hand, and readied a depth of some two hundred feet below the surface, when it was found necessary to employ the agency of steam with suitable machinery. Since the application of steam the work has progressed steadily and perseveringly until the present time, when the incredible depth of twenty-two hundred feet has been reached?? This is said to be the deepest artesian well in the world. One of the most important that we now remember of, is that of Grenelle, near Paris, in which operations were continued for eighty years, ami which was sunk to a depth of nineteen hundred and sixty one feet below the ground. And we believe there i6 another somewhere in France which numbers about A. 4.. i ' i i i c.r. . l iweniy-uiie nuiiuifu aiiu uiijr itsei, uuu h? have yet readied the distance into the Lowes of the cartli that this of Mr. Belcher's has. St. Louis Democrat. New Mexico, in consequence of the pocalinr laws of the republic of Mexico, from which it has been detached, came into the United States with no recognized Protestant population in all its sixty thousand inhabitants, and not one Protestant church. But no sooner did its annexation open the field to Protestant labor, than the missionaries of various Evnngelicnl sects made their appearance there, and have continued to struggle for a foothood ever since.? What success they have met with we do.not know, but from the following paragraph which we olio from an exchange there would soem to he schools established by the missionaries and pupils gatered into thenv: "A Convention of Baptists Missionaries, now in New Mexico, was recently held at Laguna. The exercises were peculiarly interesting, and among business transactions, was the passage of a resolution recommending to the American Baptist Home Mission Society to solicit aid froir the people and the United'States governmenl for the erection of suitable missionary buildings, and also for the salaries of teachers in the schools, and for the support ofindignent pupils. !___ Cure j-or Yellow Fkver.?Dr. Wildman, of Savannah, has published a statement in the Georgian of his having cured one hundred and fifty cases of yellow fever, and of having not lost a single case by administering muriated tincture of iron, bv civinsr the tincture in_doses varying from 20 to 70 drops every two-hours in a table spoonful of water for adults, and smaller doses for children; provided it is given before the* appearance of black vomit.

The Mopnt Pleasant Ferry House was nearly, destroyed, and' the boat-building shop of .Mr. Burk removed from its foundations. In many cases, .the. water flowed into the cellars and basements of a tores, damaging goods and fixtures to a considerable extent. In this way upwards of fourteen hundred sacks of .salt were destroyedJn.#-store on Brown's wbarf. Considerable injury has also respited to,many buildings in the .city, by stripping thorn of their roofs, and in sornp places the thoroughfares were dangerous from the continual felling of. slates apd tiles. .
