be, the public, the great consuming masses, need not apprehend that high prices can be Yong maintained, no matter what croakers may say to the contrary, for from present appear- ances this country next fall will, in the excess of its products, be prepared to feed the bun- gry of half the world, and yet retain abund- ance in store for its own population. Distributing the Public Lands. The government has been liberal in the dis- tribution of the public lands, every acre of which, it is not necessary to say, belongs to the people of the United States. From sta- tistics of the General Land Office it appears that up to November last over four hundred millions of acres have been donated to various recipients, and since that date immense grants of the public domain have been made by Con- gress. The railroads, of course, running over the prairies to the Pacific have got a large portion, amounting, as the figures show, to a hundred and eighty-two millions of acres, The division of these lands is so arranged that every alternate section is reserved to the gov- ernment, and the other section is granted to the railroad, so that purchasers paying four or five dollars an acre to the railroad company generally endeavor to locate themselves on the margin of the government lands, which they can buy for a dollar and a quarter an fcre, and thus by adding to the railroad land obtain a pretty extensive farm at a moderate \price. It appears from the figures that under the Homestead law twelve millions of acres ‘have been taken up' free of cost. The soldiers’ claims, previous to the late war in the South, including the war of 1812, are covered by grants of sixty-one million acres. Grants made to individuals and companies for varions purposes amount to eleven million acres; to schools and asylums seventy millions; but of course the railroads come in for the largest portion, because they are expected to make the largest return in the way of extending civilization westward over our yet unsettled domain and carrying all our machinery of progress through and over the wild regions of the Rocky Mountains to the golden shores of the Pacific, and from thence to the nations of the Asiatic Continent, whose populations are even now, to a certain extent, becoming alive to the influence which we have quietly and peacefully and by the force of ex- ample introduced among them. But we must not be too lavish in the disposal of our public lands. There are a good many ends yet to be accomplished by the distribution of ‘Uncle Sam's” extensive farm in the way of developing mineral regions and so forth. The government and Congress should be a little chary of making wholesale grants of land where no equivalent is likely to be forthcoming. The public domain is evidently gradually slipping away from the hands of the people who own it. Four hundred and fifty million acres have been given away within a compara- tively short period. Would it not be wise in the government to exercise some caution in the distribution of the public land which is still in their possession, amounting probably to not more than a thousand million acres? PotyGamy IN AFrica.—Some philosopher, lecturing in Philadelphia on the subject of the products, trade and climate of Liberia, says polygamy is tolerated in the interior of Africa ‘‘just as it is winked at in Utah.” It does not seem to be only ‘winked at” in the latter country, but it is inferred that most of the people there are inclined to go actually asleep upon it. Moreover, the lecturer asserts that the surplusage of these African wives are purchased with copper kettles manufactured in Waterbury, Conn. This is good news for our copperhead politicians, and @ rare chance for them to make capital out of it. The idea that a Yankee copper kettle should be a legal tender for an extra African spouse is something new in the tariff of the matrimonial market. PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE.

Sr. Louis, Jyne 19, 1870, A board of army oficers, of which General Scho- field is president, appointed by General Sherman to select and report upon small arms and accoutrements for the use of the United States, concluded their jexperiments last week, The number of small arms and ac- coutrements presented for the consideration of the board was unusually large, consisting of fortes eight differcnt oy svellls OL Dreech-l0uding cies, cat- bines, pistols and revolvers, each possessing distinct pecullarities and each valuable and ingenious im- provements on former systems. Sets of ac- coutrements, cartridge boxes, &c., were presented. The board subjected ail the arms to rigid tests and experiments, the result of which will be promulgated only through oijiicial reports, Among those tested are included several sent by European manufacturers and now in use by some European governments.

SéRIOUS SHOOTING AFFRAY. A Man Shot by a Fireman--Ante-Mortem Examination. Not far from twelve o’clock on Saturday night Captain Cameron, of the Eighteenth precinct, re- ceived information that Patrick Farrell, living at 221 First avenue, had been shot at the corner of Fourteenth street and First avenue, and on making inquiries learned that such was the case. ‘Farrell was found in @ drug store corner of Fifteenth street and First avenue, suffering from a pistol shot wound in the right side, the bullet evidently having passed inward and lodged in the region of the kidneys, It appearing that the pistol had been discharged by William Hamilton, engineer of fire engine No. 5, located at Fourteenth street and First avenue, Captatu Cameron despatcned officers in search of Hamilton, but they could not find him. In the meantime Farrell was removed to Bellevue Hospital for treatment, his condition being regarded a8 extremely critical. Hamilton kept out of the way til half-past nine o'clock yesverday morning, when he appeared at the Seventeenth precinct station house and surrendered himself to Captain Mount. In explanation Hamilton stated that while Porsme gy § in front of his engine house he was at- tacked by Patrick Gleason, of No. 347 East Twelfth street, and William and Patrick Callahan, living at No. 27 Seventh street, who beat him severely, and that in self-defence he discharged his pistol at the assailants. Hamilton denied knowing vill yesterday morning that any one was shot, but thought it pra- dent to absent himseif for the time being. Warden Brennan, of Bellevue Hospital, having notified Coro- ner Flynn of Farrell's conuition, an ante-mortem statement was taken. Morris W. Shannon, of 426 East Thirteenth street, who witnessed the affray, deposed before the Coroner thai William Callahan, his brother Patrick, Farreil and others came to the engine house where Hamilton was on duty, when William Callanan made an as- sault on him. Hamilton procured a stick with which to defend himself when Patrick Callahan and lis brother renewed the assault, whereupon Hamilton ran into the engine house, and, getting nis pistol, fired three shots into the crowd, thus wounding Farrell. The latter, who does not think he will die from the effects of the wound, stated that he was president of the Minerva Association, Which meets every Satur- day night at 282 First avenue. After the mecting on Saturday night himself and several frieras met Hamilton, with whom William Callahan commenced to dispute, an ill-feeling having existed between them, as Farrell alleges, because Hamilton has been in the habit of beating one of Calianan’s brothers. Farrell says that Hamilton, bemg much e cited, ran to the engine house, and re- turned with a club (directly afterwa ), Says Far- rell, Hamilton went back to the engine house, and coming back with his pistol dred one shot at Willlam Callahan, when he (Farrell) endeavored to caten Hamilton’s hand to prevent him from shooting again; Farrell says he grasped Hamilton, who broke ay, and when not more than a foot distant he fired two shots at him; Farrell, feeling that he was shot, grasped Hamilton again, but being weak Far- Tell was taken away. Dr. McMaster, of Bellevue Hospital, deposed that Farrell received a pistol shot wound in the right lumbar region, the bullet passing upward and tn- ward; in the doctor's opinion the ball entered the abdominal cavity. ‘The jury rendered a verdict against Hamilton, and he was committed to the Tombs to await the result of Farrell's injuries, Thomas Cheever, John Costello and Lawrence Merey, two of the firemen, witnessed the occurreuce, and corroberate the statement made by Shannon. RUNAWAY ACCIDENT IN THE PARK. A lady named Mrs. Robertson was driving, with her sister, in @ light carriage, drawn by a pair of horses, in the Park yesterday afternoon. The car- riage was run into by a buggy, steered by some blundering Jehu, and the horses, becoming un- manageable, started off ata high rate of speed. The lady held on to the lines with indomitable pluck and coolness; but in rounding a sharp corner the pole snapped and the carriage was overturned, throwing lis fair occupants to the ground with considerable violence. Beyond a few bruises and scratches, how- ever, both the ladies escaped serious injury. The husband of Mra. Rober yn and another genlileman were riding saddie horses in the wake of the car- riage, and Made several attempts to “head off” the runaway team, only coming up with it in time to witness, but not prevent the catastrophe. The tcam sustained sertous damage, having ran foul of several opstacles, The cause of all the mischief managed to make himself scarce before either his identity or ad- dress could be ascertained, Corrox RECKIPTS AT MACON,—Some months ago | numerous wagers were laid on the ainount of cotton that would be received at this point during the year ending August 31, 1870. Bets even were made that | the aggregate would not reach 75,000 bales; and | others that 80,000 would be reached. The first have long since been decided, and those whe staked on the highest figures are calculating with certainty on winniig. The total 1s gotng into ue last thousand fairly, and a slight spring in the market will speedily cause an increase of receipts eaough to decide in favor of the early sanguine.—Macon (Ga.)

Discontented — Desertions— The Nyack Heard from, By arrival of an Aspinwall mail per steamer Merrimac (via St. Thomas) we nave advices from the Darien surveying expedition to May 30, The weather had continued extremely unfavora- ble for the surveying parties. The rains were of daily Occurrence and very heavy, swelling the streams to torrents. In consequence of the heavy fall of water it had been dimcuit to keep the work- lug parties at the front suppited with provisions. On the 16th of May 4 new working \party,gunaer Lieutenant Hubbard, started) for the front to reueve Lieutenant Hitehcock and party, who had con- ducted the survey from the Bay of San Blas toa point thirteen miles inland, The return squad ar- rived at the beach on the 18th, hungry, ragged and exhausted, On the same date Lieutenant hubbard reported, from @ point fourteen miles inland (by the line of survey), that the highest elevation yet at- tained was only 176 feet, On the 20th five men of the working party were lost in the woods. Search was tnstituted, and they were found, after two days’ wandering and wheu serlous fears for teir safety had begun to be enter- tained, On May 27 active preparations were going forward on board the Nipsic and the Guard for return to New York. On the 28th the commander of the ex- pedition changed his plans, and it is now beiteved he will continue his survey until one of the surveying party shall have crossed the dividing ridge and communicated with the survey from the Nyack, on the Pacitic suie, A letter was recetved on the 23th from the commander of the Nyack, stating that his party were some distance up the Byano river, the course of which they expected to leave shortly, to ascend the Marmonia river. The aim of Captain Self- ridge is to reach the Marmonia from this side and descend the stream, meeting tne party from the Nyack. The Nipsic was to leave for Aspinwall on the dist, it belag Selfridge’s intention to pay a visit to the Nyack’s commander, via Panama Railroad. At date of our advices Lieutenant Hubbard's party had surveyed twenty miles from the beach, at which distance the highest land elevation found was 309 feet, the elevation of the river’s bed being 296 feet. The surrounding country was very rugged and dificult. Donkey transportation nad been abandoned, and provisions for the working party were sent forward in small quantities on the backs of the men, On the 29th of May Captain Selfridge ordered Messrs. Moser and Bowditch to take one machetero, with plenty of provisions for the party, go to the head of Lieutenant Hubbard's line, and from thence strike a south southesst course aud endeavor to reach the San Jose, Marmonia or other river on that line flowing towards the Pacific Ocean, They were to make a pace traverse of the route, and Lieuten- ant Hubbard was to follow as fast as possible, with compass and level. On the sth orders were Issued that Lieutenant Hitchcock, Lieutenant Goodreil and six mea, fully provisioned, leave the beach early on the following morning to relieve Lieutenant Hubbard and party — the latter to return to the beach at once—i taking @ south southeast course, to make for the Sanu Jose or Mormonia river, ‘then to proceed (if deemed’ prudent) to the Pacific Ocean, or until the arty from the Nyack is encountered. No orde:a Raa been issued recalling Messrs. Moser and bow- diten, ‘The generat health of the expedition was fatr, sickness having appeared except iever and agu The n, however, were edingly dissatisied with Captain Selfriage’s det nation to ah their stay on the isthinus. Five men have deserte from the Guard, and more would go tf they had an opportunity. Omecrs and men complain that their endurance has now been taxed to We utmost and that longer stay in such @ climate will be dangerous. Most of the men have worn out all their clo'hing and shoes, and the officers are in litle better condivon, There are not half a dozen patrs of shoes in the Darien or ships’ stores, The mnen are deeply in debt, having worn out more clothes e expedition than would be required for @ thr ‘ars’ crue. The pay aud al- Jowances are not g} T than when on a cruise, and uniess relief is afforded by the government the expe- dition Will be a costly one to those engaged in It. ‘The following incident occurred on the 16th, of May:—Oue of the marine guara, returning from the front, while swimining a river, was chased by two large alligators, and with dificulty escaped. On the 17th irish potatoes, beers and carrots were distributed in cainp, which were brought from San Fra via Panama and Aspinwall.
