INTERESTING STATISTICS. Number of United States Office-Holders, We have carefully compiled from official sources the following interesting and useful tables, showing the number of government offica holders, now in Office,} from cach State, the number born in each State and foreign country, the number from free and slave States, and the names and salaries of gpome of the moat important government officers. The whole number of persons in the civil and diplomatic service of the United States, on the 30th September last, was 3.790 ; but of these, 2,092 were evgaged in the Customs Of tho whole number, 2,146 were born ia free States, and 1,209 in South- ern States; 279 were of foreign birth, and 166 whos, nativity ie unknown, or not reported. Tho custom houses in he States of Massachusetts, Now York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Louisiana, are given in detail, because they cach contain a large city and port of entry, and all the other States are con- dented together, because none of them contain a custom -house employing a large force. Under the title “* War Department ” are included the quartormasters, engineers, and other oflices lo, cated in Washington city. We have confined our compilation to the civil Officers, excluding tho Judiciary, the Army, Navy, &c. The ‘ Post Office Department” refers only to the General Post Office in Washington, and doos not include any local oflices. We give a table chowing the place of birth of every civil officer, and another showing the number appointed from each State. From these tables it appoars that of fifty-one Principal officers of government, Heads of Depart- ments, Buroaus, Chief Cle:ks &9. there wore 24 born in free States and 25 in slave States, nine o the former being born in Pennsylvania and eleven of the latter in Virginia. Two aro foreignora, namely, the Commissioner of the Patent Office and one of the Assistant Postmaster Generals. Of 1,698 clerks and other officers, (not inoludiag custom houses) 1,442 were ratives of the United States, 136 fureigners, and 1.) whoze place of birth was own. Of the 1,442 Americans, 632 wore born infree States, and $10 in slave States; 275 were born in Virginia, which is 79 more than fram any other State. Maryland has 196 ; Pennsylvania 177; New York 144; District of Columbia 128; Magsa chusetts 83; Kentucky 4’ North Carolina 44; Maine 42; New-Jersey 41 ; Connecticut 39, &o. Of tho 136 foreigners, 34 where born in Ireland ; 3lin England ; 21 in Germany ; 8 in France ;7 in Scotland ; 3 in Spain ;.2 in Canada; 1 in Wales, aad BY in other foreign countries In the tablo showing the number appointed from Oban site, We have oxcluded the custom houses, wag those employed in them are alwayd Sppolnted | ifrom the States in which they are located. ‘l'nis tabie shows that of 1,693 persons, 631 wore appoint- ed from the free, and 930 trom theslave S:ates, tho Gifference in favor of the latter being 299. Of these, 1,177 were employed in the city of Washington, 369 Neing from free and 72 from slave States, showing | Qrrr thatin that city there are 360 more government officers from slaveholding States, thanfrom the free. ‘The number employed in Washington city appoiat- ed from each State is as follows :—From Maine 20, ‘Now Hampshire 10, Vermont 10, Massachusetts 80, Rhode Island 5, Connestiout 13, New York 81, Now Jersey 15, Pennsylvania 100, Ohio 40, Indiana 15, Tilinois 12, Michigan 8, lowa 4, Wisconsin 5, California 1—total from free States 631.

Not reported 79. i It thus appears that the District of Columbia has received the most appointments, it having 215 more than the State of New York. This great number ean only be accounted for by the fact that most of the messengers, watchmen and subordinate officers inthe employ of the governments, resided in the District, and by the supposition that most ef those of foreign birth, when appointed to offica, claim the city of Washington as their residence We give the following information in dotail, with respect to tho different Departments, Bureaus cand Offices of the Government.

HOUSE, Mr. Catuoun’s Lerrer.—Ono of the most sin- gular incidents of the day is a very long and om- pbatic letter, in the New Yor Hrraxp, from Mr. John ©. Calhoun, of Florida, eldest son of the great Carolinian, in favor of the doctrines sought to be engrafted on the national policy by Kossuth and his ‘‘intervention”’ adherents. The Columbia South Carclinian says that is an egregious mistake to bl Lit that Mr. Caihoun’s avowals, and the principles developed by him, will produce any change in the conservative policy of the South on this subject. The argumonts of Mr. C , it admits, aro * plausible and well said, bat fail to prove that | the dogtrine advoeated would be bencticial to the | country, or innocuous to the South and her intor- ests. Tho first and most immediate consequence of the engrafting of such a principle on the toreign policy of the United States would be a foreign war, and Mr, Calhoun has not shown, nor can any man show that, even without any other ill effvow ac- cempanying it, this would not be a calamity to the South. We have no fear, howevor, that the doo- trine will be sustained by the Southorn psople.”’— Richmond Enquirer, Jan. 29 Inpiana Temperance Law.—A bill to regulate the gale of spirituous liquors has boon reported to tho Indiana Legislature, and strong efforts will bo used to mako ita law. It prohibits the granting of liconees; provides for assessing fines on those sel- ling or giving away intoxicating liquors to minora, ond to all other persons, to be drank about the houre or outhouse whoro the liquor is sold; first offend, @ fine of $10; secoud, $20; third, $49, fourth, $50; filth, and ali subsequent offences, gi00—the offender to stand committed until the fiaos are paid orreplovined. It.also provides that the wife and all othersinjared by thesale of iatoxicating liquo | nay maintain on action against the yeudyr wao fur. | nishes the liquor.

THE TALE GEN. EDWARD BURLESON, OF TEXAS. Tho following facta in relation to tho life aag acts ofthe late Edward Burleson, wore related by the Hon. Grey M. Bryan, before the Senate and House of Reprosontatives of Texas, on the 27th of Deeember. Tae occasion being the delivery of @ culogy on the deooased:— “* General Burleson was born ia Buncombe county, North Carolina, be wax married at tno early age of sixteen. Imigrated from Tipton county, Ten- neteco, in May, Indl, to Texas He died on ye: tercay, (26th Do.) twonty minutes past seve o'clock A ed Uiity-three yeura. Shortly after bis arrival in Texas, be removed near the Colerado river, on the frontier of Austin’s ¢sloay, where, for Many years, he was the rallying point for the seattered settlers when attacked vy the merciless buvago. Always ready to evize his rifle and rush te the aid of the helpless, he becsme, among those hardy sons of the forest, the chosen chiettain in their many bloody battles. In the fail of 1435 he was among the firat to obey the call of the people of Gonzales, after they had beaten back the advance of Cos, and made their town forever memorable aa the Lexington of Texas. He earaostly commenoed organizing the assembiing voluatwers as they came in at this point ; this he tound no easy task, on ac count of the reluctance on the part of the men to submit to any kind of military restraint. Through his exertions, and the efforts of others, something like discipling was beiag established, whon all bis eflorts wore near being frustrated by dissensions springing up in the midst of the camp, as to who should command. In this crisis, entirely forgotfal of himself, und mindful only of the imterosts of his country, he, in ovr junction with othors, dispatched an express to San Felipe do Austin wi rest Sppeal to Stephen F Austin to hasten to camp and take command of the army. ‘Though worn down with disease contracted in the dungeons of Moxico, Austin obeyed cho call. U pon his arrival at camp he was chosen, by acclamation, to the chief soma and Burleson was elected senior Colonel Austin ant Burleson wore now the chiof pillars of that little army. They first met the enemy at the Salado, when, aftor @ briof, but triumphant struggle, thoy beat them back. Again and again they met the enemy, and with the same result, and finally drove him within the very walls ot the Alamo and San Antonio. In the absence of artillery they were compelled to encamp beneath the wallsand await the progress of events. Eaca week produced a sdties of brilliant feata at arms, worthy of tho best days of chivalry, in which, Burleson bore a conspicuous part. Amor the most prominent of those is the *‘irass fight, whero Mexicans never fought better, and pballg never fell thicker. Hurleson by his rank com- manded, and was seen everywhere in the hotest of the fight, cheering on his mon, reminding thom of their past deeds and the great prizo for which they wero fighting—the freedom of ‘Texas. ‘I'he oon- sultation in the mean time bad mot at San Felipe; they looked around them and trembled for Coxas, in the absence of all the resources ovsontial for the prosecution of war. They must have a Franklin to send to their fatherland. All eyes wore turned upon Austin, who was entrusted with the commis- sion. Liver willing to serve whore he could do most good, he cbeyed the call, satisied that the interest of his country were safo in tho hands of his old friond and follow soldier Colonel Burleson. The command thus devolved upon Burleson, pla him in tho moat painfully rexponsible position. He continued the seige until a favorable opportunity offered for storming the town. Entoring into the viewe of the gallant and lamented Milam, it was agreed that Milam should beat up for volunteers to storm, while he,with the remaining force, would act @ corps of reserve, protect Milam’s rear, and fur- nish such aid as circumstances should reqairo. The town was stormed and taken—tho fort surrondered, and Cos with his whole forco was captured, with that clemency and benevolence which characterized his overy act. (ien. Burleson consented to pardé Vos and his men—furnishing them with means to return to Mexico. In the spring of tho following yoar ho was again called to the field to moet Santa Anna. Gen. ouston, in the meantime, had been appointed to the command. ‘They met at Gonzales, and com- monced the organization of that Spartan band, who had then agreed to dispute the passage with the conqueror of Mexico. Tho Alamo had fallen. Travis and his noble band had thore built the fune- ral pile of Mexican tyrauny in Texas, and upon it had offered up their lives a sacrifice to tho freadom of their country. This dreadfa! blow struck terror into the stoutost hearts. All Texas was in mourn- ing ; and with the fall of Fannin, fora time, hope almost fled the any It was there that Houston and Burleson, and their worthy associates, oxpe- rienced that deep sickness of the soul which Wash- ington felt, whoa retreating, with hig handfall of ragged soldiers, before superior numbers of the enemy, through the State of New Jorsoy. That black night of reverse was but the darkest hour be- fore day ; for the sun of Texan victory had not sot, but ony for a brief time waned. te rose trium- phant over all clouds, and on the plains of San Jacinto lighted Burleson and ‘Texas to freedom and renown After the battle of San Jacinto and tho capture of Santa Anna, General Houston despatched Bar- leton with part of bis regimenty to watch the re- tieat of tho oyemy out of the country. From this time, until bo was elected Vice President, ho was in command of tho regular army in the Cherokee war, where his ueual good sense, experience, and valor. made him conspicuous among the chosen men of Texas. When Vasquez and Wall invaded the country, he was among tho first to hasten te the frontier. When tho Camanches, like an ava- lanche, rushed down from their mountaia homes, eweoping everything before thom, even burning the very towns upon our coast, General Burleson wag the first to raiso the alarm and rush to the reseue. He met and dofeated the Indians ia a pitched bat- tle at Plumb creek. During the Mexican war, when Gonoral Taylor called ay Texas for volunteers, Burleson was among the first to respond. And the Rio Grande and the heights of Monterey attest his patriotism and valor. The hero of thirty battlos, ho was never known to retreat.” rave without rashness, cautious without timidity, benevolent without weakness, ha was tho friend of the vaaquisbed as he wae the terror oftheenemy. But it was not only as a sole dier that Gen. Burleson was conspicuous—he shone in the more peaceful walks of life. Asa statesman he long held a prominent position in Texas. As the Vice President of ‘Texas, as a candidate for the Presidency, as @ Senator of the Legislature of the State since annexation—in all these pesitions he has been remarkable for his good sense, his honesty, his purity, and his humility; no one who had so filled the public eye could have worn honors and Teputation more meckly than Grenoral Burleson. shai’s Office, I, CHARGED WITH MI8DE> MEANOR AGAINST THE UNITED BTATRS.
