One remarkable fact has been brought to light
by the censusof New York just completed. !, is
found that IN all the agricultural counties Of that
state, the population is decreasing The more
substantial farmers, says the n. y. News, are
buying the lands sold under mortgages to banks
and sharpers, and the poorer farmers are seeking
the grea, West. Illinois and Wisconsin have a.
tracted the largest number of these. The farmers
Of New York, without foreign market for then
produce, cannot contend against the rich garden
soils of those great states. No man in Gene>es
valley can raise wheat for -four at 81 SO per bar
rel, the average in New York city for the last two
year. but the Illinois and Wisconsin farmers
get rich at those prices.

We mentioned last week that Gen. Hardin with
his stall and forces had gone to Nauyoo to ,iTec,
and arrangement between the Mormons and their
enemies, by which permanent peace should be
secured TO Hancock county. The resul, Of this
effort is disclosed in correspondence betw cen
Gen. H. and the Mormons, which is published
in the Quincy papers. The Mormuns pledge
themselves 10 remove from the state by the first
Of next April If no effort is made to drive them
of before that time. Their houses and farms in
Hancock county they offer Tor sale, but if thew
cannot sell them before they leave, they wish i,
distinctly understood that they will not give them
away, or suffer them to be illegally wres,ed irom
them. AS an evidence that they are ia earnest
about leaving, and had even inten led 10 leave be.
fore the late outbreak they state tina, they have
sowed no whoa, this fall, that four companies, of
100 families each, are already fully organized,
and six more, of the same number of families,
ale about organizing. preparatory TO u removal.
Their destination appears to be west Of the
Rocky Mountains.
The Ani-Mormons, in their convention at
Carthage Of delegates from nine Of the surround.
ing counties, have acceded to the proposition of
the Mormons; and Gen. Hardin, for the pur-
pose of maintaining law and order during the
winter, has left an armed force in the county,
which will be sufficient for tina, purpose. And.
that this force may not be used for vexn,ious or
improper purposes, he recommends the governor
to send some competent legal officer to remain
there, and have the power of deciding wha, pro-
cess shall be executed by said military force
