»la«ase. of the l ulled States.
Part III of the " Statistical Atlas of
the United States," compiled, under
the orders of Congress, by General
Francis A. Walker, late Superintend-
ent of the Ninth Census, embraces six
maps of the United States east of the
one hundredth meridian, four of which
illustrate by varying shades of differ-
ent colors the relative prevalence of
fevers, of intestinal diseases, of con-
sumption and of malarial diseases,
and two illustrate in the same way the
relative birth rate and the local excess
of males or of females in the distribu-
tion of population; three charts which
illustrate the relative excess of males
or females in the native and foreign
population of each State, the distribu-
tion by age and sex of the population,
and the distribution by age and sex of
the deaths occurring in each State, to
which is subjoined the relative fatality
of certain common diseases; and eight
charts, four of which illustrate the
distribution by age and sex, fot each
State, cf idiocy, insanity, blindness,
"deaf mutism," and four "show the to-
tal number of these unfortunate per-
sons in each State, divided into white
or colored, native or foreign born, and
their relative increase in numbers Bince
1800.
These charts show that there is an
excess of females in the population of
Tennesseo, Alabama, Georgia, South
Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and
Massachusetts. The males are in ex-
cess from ten to twenty per centum and
more in parts of Maine, Pennsylvania,
Florida, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minne-
sota, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Arkan-
sas and Texas. The smallest birth-rate
is in Maine, New Hampshire and the
lower 'part of Florida. Malarial dis-
eases all along the Atlantic coast from
Cape Henlopen to St. Augustine, and
along the Gulf of Mexico, extending
thence northward in varying degrees
to Lake Michigan. Consumption pre-
vails most in New England, the Middle
and the Northwestern States, although
it is common all over the country. Intes-
tinal diseases arc also pretty generally
distributed over the United States, and
the Gulf States alone are comparatively
exempt from fevers. More males than
females died in every State, from 1860
to 1870, except Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, North Carolina, Tennes-
see and Virginia. More females than
males died during the same period
from hooping cough, measles and con-
sumption, and more males than females
from croup. There are more males
thau females in the country who are
blind, the excess of males being about
three thousand, Delawaie and Arkan
sas alone having an excess of females.
The number of male deaf mutes ex-
ceeds the female ones in every State
except Nebraska. The total excess of
male deaf mutes is about one thou-
sand. The number of females who
arc insane exceeds the males by more
than a thousand, although in Dela-
ware, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Min-
nesota, Oregon, California, West Vir-
grafa, Maryland and Florida, there are
more insane males than females. The
number of male idiots exceeds the
female one# by about four thousand,
there being no State in the Union
where female idiots are in excess.

COMMERCIAL.
GALVESTON, TAX AS.
Wednesday Evening, August 12,1914.
Business has been moderate to-day.
Orders have been less numerous, and no
buyers have been operating to any ex
tent. In values, a still further advance
in quotations for lard is the only change
since yesterday. Bagging is held more
firmly in consequence of the telegraphic
advices alluded to below. Coffee is uu
changed, and sugar favors holders. Corn
meal and flour are dull and .prices
drooping.
The New York Journal of Commerce,
of the 7th inst., says " prices of domestic
gunny cloth harden, with sales of small
lots at the outside prices quoted. The
demand continues fair, principally from
consumers. Sales 200 rolls cloth, at
13fc. The quotations are as follows
134@l4c. for heavy averages of domestic
cloth on spot; Calcutta at 10c.; Borneo
and Gouripore, 13i@13£c. Bags at life.
Telegrams were receiveed to-day an
nouncing a further advance of £c. on
heavy bagging. No allusion is made to
light, but it may be inferred that it has
also shared in the advance announced on
the extra heavy brands.
We find in the New York Journal of
Commerce the following:
New York, August 4,1874.
Editor of the Journal of Commerce:
As I see answers to questions in your
valuable paper every morning, I now
take the liberty of asking one or two.
Who commanded the post of Galveston
(then in the Confederate hands) when
the Harriet Lane was captured, and what
was the date of her capture ?
Constant Reader.
Reply.—Galveston was not in Confed
erate, but in Union hands when the
Lane was captured. Gen. Banks had
sent the Forty-second Massachusetts
there, and about 300 men had landed
under Col. Burrell and were on the
wharf the night of the attack. The naval
force had been reinforced by four steam-
boats under Commander Renshaw,
whose patriotism many have doubted.
The attack on Ualveston was made Jan-
uary 1st, 1863, by forces under the com
mand of Major General Magruder, and
was entirely successful. The troops
which had been landed were captured.
The Harriet Lane, after a sharp resist
ance, was taken. The Westfield, Ren-
shaw's fiag-ship, ran aground and was
blown up by his orders, but the charge
exploded prematurely and he was killed.

Letter from Port Davis.
Fort Davis, August 3, 1874.
Ei>s. News—Yesterday, Sunday,
August 2, Talemcnto's train was at-
tacked by Indians in Olympia Canon,
about twenty miles from Fort Davis,
who succeeded in running off all his
mules and horses, about 120. The
Mexican who came in to this post this
morning reports that there were about
100 Indians, but only twenty of them
were engaged in taking the mules.
Lieuts. Tyler and Merritt, with a de-
tachment of the Ninth Cavalry, have
just started in pursuit.
There is great activity here and at
other posts among the troops, and a
general scouring of this part of Texas
is looked for soon. Fork.
The New Annexation ftclteme.
The San Francisco Commercial Her-
ald reiterates the statement made by it,
some time since, to the effect that the
Mexican Government was not only
willing to cede a large portion of its
northern territory to the United States,
but had actually submitted a proposi-
tion providing for a transfer of the sec-
tion of country lying north ot a paral-
lel drawn clue west from the mouth of
the Rio Grande to the Pacific Ocean.
Leading capitalists of San Francisco,
it is added, arc so impressed with the
truth of the rumor, from private ad-
vices which tbey have had regarding
it, that they have recently made large
purchases in Sonora, Chihuahua, Baja
California, and other Mexican States,
and a number of mining and civil en-
gineers have already been sent in that
direction to look after their interests

PORT ITEMS.—The schooner Kate E.
Buchanan was cleared at New York on the 6th
Inst, for Houston, Texas, by Messrs. Tupper
A Beattie, but we infer that the vessel will
pause at Galveston and discharge cargo, as
the Constitutional Bend cut has not been
commenced.
The brig Wm. Mason, from Boston, June
', came up this morniner, and crossing the
bar, sailed up to a berth at Kuhn's Wharf,
where she is discharging. Her freight and
consignee lists will be found elsewhere.
The steamer Chas. Fowler. Connor, master,
arrived from Houston at the usual hour this
morning with but 2 bales of cotton and a very
light lot of State products, which were landed
at Central Wharf, and the steamer sailed on
her return at six o'clock in the afternoon with
a moderate cargo.
The steamship Morgan, Staples master,
is due from Indianola at five o'clock to mor-
row morning, with the mails, passengers and
freight, and will proceed on her way to Bra-
shear at ten o'clock the same day.
The steamship W. G. Hewes. Russell, ma-
ter, arrived from Havana at an early hour
this morning, and anchored off the Quar-
antine Station, where she' will await the ar-
rival of two barges loaded with cattle, and
will probably get away for Havana to-morrow
afternoon.
The British steamship San Jacinto, Rioker,
master, which arrived outside Monday, cross-
ed the bar this morning and came up to a
berth at Kuhn's Wharf, where she is discharg-
ing, As soon as the steamer is unloaded, she
will drop down to the New Wharf and take in
a cargo of grain for Liverpool.
The steamship City of Norfolk Brown,
master, arrived from Brashear at the usual
hour this morning, with the western mall, a
few packages of express freight and a light
complement of passenger*, which were landed
at the Brick Wharf. The steamer sailed on
her return at half-past two o'clock is the af-
ternoon with a moderate freight of cattle.
