Marshals and their assistants commenced taking the ninth census of the United States. Gen. FraDcis A. AYalker is the superintendent of the ninth census, sod the schedules have been prepared by him under the set of M a j 23d, 1850 The first schedule enumerates dwelling hooves, families, persons, with their names, ajres, sex, color, pro fession or occupation, Taluef real and persunal estate, place of birth of persons, their parentage, whether married or single, educated or not, con stitutional relations, &e. The constitutional re lations referred to are whether the person enu merated s a citizen of the United States above .the age of twenty-one years, and if, being such citiien, his right to vote is denied or abridged .on other grounds than participating in rebellion or crime. The information required under this bead is conceded in the directions of the depart ineut for the guidance of assistant marshals to be a matter of sorue delicacy. - The enumerators are instructed : "Many per .sona never try to vote, and therefore do not 4 now whether their right to vote is or is not abridged. It is not only those whr.se votes hare . .actually been challenged and refused at the polls " for soni disability or-waot of qualificatioa who must be reported iu this column, but all who .come within the scope of any State law denying or abridging suffrage to any class or individual .on any other ground than participation in rebel lion or lejral conviction of crime." Assistant marshals are therefore required carefully to study the laws of their own State io these respects, and to satisfy themselves in the case of each nale citizen of the United States abuve the age of twenty-one years, whether he does or does not come within cue of these classes. Upon the an awers to the questions under the head of "con stitutional relations" will depend the distribu tion of representative power to the general gov ernment, and it 13 therefore considered :m Pr" tant to have absolute accuracy The second schedule gives the number of deaths during, the year, causes thereof, o:c. x u wurirBvvumo givi me pruuueuous ui agr;- culture, name of owner of land, uumber of acres, casn vaiue, live stock, cvc. 1 u lourtii schedule is lor toe pnmuclsot industry, -and will show the uame of the corporation, company or individual producing, motive power, number of hands em - - ' .

The fifth schedule v ill show social statistics, as follows: Valuation of property, taxation, pau- pensin, crime, libraries, wage, colleges, acade- miesand schools, newspapers and periodicals, religuii, with all particulars covering the above, The dejrtuiCTit express its determination to project the citizen iu all his rights in the pre,- cent census, and declare that "no graer offence .can be committed by assistant uaih:ils than to divulge iuformatiou acquirid in the disch irge of their duty. All disclosures should be treated as strictly confidential. Infori'iatiou will be solici ted of any breacli of confidence on the part of BSsistaut marshals " .

The facts as to tho relative ptpulathn of the two sections, without which no just action can be taken, must 'first be ascertained, and. as the at will resist, the relative wealth aud taxation also, though these have not been hitherto recog pixedasa b.ois of representation.

The return of the 're verend carpet-bagger Whittemore to Congress, Jytne large majority of eight thousand, is a fretty good commentary on the sf;de of affairs n the district from whieh he hails.

New York Correspondence of fheUoston Journal. There are four classes of men who operate on the street. Regular brokers, who buy and sell for their customers. These men never speculate their business is both safe and profitable, aud they make money. Another class buy and sel for their customers, but add speculation on their own accouut. During haU a century s expe rience, in every case these bouses have failed In mercantile life, when a man fails he compro mises with his creditors and jrets the best settle ment he can. He goes on with his business and is as respectable as ever.

A fourth class are outsiders, and their name is lecion. ' I , ' x They live in New York; they live in the East ; they live in the West; they live in the South. They arc merchants, capitalist:', fanners. nrofessional men. , women. These casual dab- biers invariably lose money :, it is only a question of time. A merchant 'came into the street the other day with fifty thousand dollars. He went to a lame banking house and wanted a line of stocks purchased, which he named. The banker said to him. I have been ou the street forty eijrht years. During that time, thirty-eight out of every forty who have left money s.s you pro pose to di, have lost it. I will take your money if you insist upon it: but you had better take a eood look at it. for you will never see it again A gentleUian left the dry goods business and came on the street. He brought with him some money. He became a very daring operator and was the terror of the stj-eet. :He was said to be verv successful as well as vervbold. His broker was one of the heaviest houses in New York . One day the senior partner of the house said to i the operator. '-'Do you know how much cash we have to your create i l ne man repneu muu- feretitly : "You have a few thousand. I suppose, ujhere are 5750,000," the banker said. ' to you cre,i,t on our books. ftow let ine give vou a . j;nje piece of advico. iTake out of this house j S500 (j00 . buy a fine house on Fifth avenue; fcrnish ;t complete and settle it on your wife .. . i - Salt down'the balance in Government securities; take your wife, go abroad, and get out of the street for six mouths." I The man could not do that, for he had cinintic "speculations ou hand, j whn. ti.e were coii.nleted he would think j abmjt it In fuur months from that time the operator penniless,! and is now working a j Cimj U)iae in lensYlvanja. The mental agony through which he passed in that short time made j him tweuty years older, burnished the top of his head like a billiard bait aud sank him out of , i-ht ou the street.

The sentiment appeared to be the same as that which prevailed iu the Baptist Convention at Louisville for all to labor zealously to advauee the cause of God, but fur the present the Xorh and South should labor oii: separate paths.
