UNEXPECTED RESULTS—THE CENSUS BADLY TAERN. {From the Albany Argus.] The scattering and unofficial returns of the census takers indicate unexpecied results. It would soem: as if many of the centres of tation had rétrograded within: the last five years. Our neighbors, Troy and) Cobora, both show @ diminished population compared with the last consua. In tho agricultural region the same pheno- menon is peneral nae crm the result. Troy, Cohoes, and most of tho agricultural d stricts referred to, have increased in popula jon despite the war. There has been a large na- ral increase, beside the influx of emigration from Europe and tho Canadas and from the South. We fear that the census is very badly taken. Ths: ap- pointments have been given to politicians, as-favore; and as the is small and the labor heavy the only way to make favor areal one is for the recipient to. ahitk ‘the laborand draw all the salary.

On the Fourth of July the citizens of Pierce and ad- Joining counties assembled at Blackshear for the purpose of taking the amnesty oath and listening to Fourth of July addresses, General Washburn spoke to them, and in the course of his remarks stated that in his district over five thousand had already taken the amnesty oath. He was introduced by Colonel C. H. Hopkins, who, I am convinced, has always been & loyal man and fought se- cession from the outset, The Colonel spoke substantially as follows:— It 1s just five years to-day since the anniversary of ty eel thia Btate. On American ii was celobrated in the 14th of April, 1861, the Old was bedowed with fraternal blood at Fort Suniter, and it disappeared from our sight. It now in our midst, unscathed, with additional stars in galaxy. So far from losing one or many of the several were added to Union during the war. The and Stripes now float over this broad land, unmolested and centre to ita circumference. Peace has amor ae we See ee ee le; and I hope, my friends, in a little while we wil f@ to the government yy ‘ou ‘ity that we are a patriotic and united people. ‘ou are all familiar with the events of the war. Within the last four years one million of our countrymen have becn slain or died of camp diseases; a large portion of our territory has been desolated, and wo incurred a dobt of many millions, You must remember that I warned you Inst this trouble, I told you seces- sion was war, and that war would end in the ruin and subjngation of the South, I told you that the lamented President, who fell recently by the hand of an oxecrable eesagein, Ds Breage more Soap any eal . cessors ever do! up to thirty fore the fall of Richmond he offered us four thousand mil- lions of dollars for our slaves, and six years to settio the question of emancipation, and that the overture for co was contemptuously es by the organ of the jonth. In addition to this tho House of Reprosentatives, with but one vote in the negative, guaranteed to us per- petual slavery in the States where it existed, ia con- formity with the wishes of the President elect. But nothing would satisfy our ambitious and deluded leaders but secession and revolution. And now, my conmtry- men, you are here to renew your. allegiance, under tl solemnity of an oath, from which you, withdrew in burn, commander of the United State troops in Soutticastorn ta is BE to, administer ar the oath to grant you 0 privileges which are not incorm- pe with the constitution, the laws and dignity of the ‘nion—which you and I and most of us loved and de- fended so well, until treason trampled it in the dust. Where are our lendersnow? I do not sec any of them standing between the sword which U unsheathed us in this our hour Of. aflliction. have abando1 us in our misfortunes, are sooking shelter for themselves under tho protection of the flag thoy spat upon in 1861, or flecing pante-stritkem from tho conflagration which they have kindled. When I speak of Icaders, I allude to the very few seditious bad mon who deceived the gener- ous and masses, and made them unwilling inatrumenta to their country and enslave us. They may have been ed themselves; but as they were in the front themselves they should not abandon us now. The General does’ mot come with sword to spill mor? fratornal bleed, but with the olive branch of peace, to heal the wounds of tho nation, and to restore its Md ward children in Southern to thelr loyalty. When this is done his work will be finished, tho army will be disbanded: and peace will reign suprome in tho country. OONORRWING YRIAOW PRVER. When passengors from the Argo arrived here their first inquiry was in’ regard to yellow fever, and wo learnedfrom thom that « report hed obtained currency at the North that the epidemic was prevalent at Augusta, and gradvally extending through the State. This rumor was entirely unfounded, as there fas mot beon a case of yollow fever in Georgia thts semson.
