Tur Nrw CouNTY.-Of the various
netitions 10 the Legislature tor new
counties. each asking slice from Hemp
stead, one only meets the approval OF her
people; and this is the one proposed 70
be made from parts OF the couhtles VI
Ouachita, Hampstead, Lafayette ana
Union. We see that our member, Mr.
Sissel, has presented petition signed
bv more than six hundred citizens OF
Hampstead and Ouachita, praying the
establishment of this county, and their
voice should have great weight in mat
ter in which they are more than all 9TH
ers interested, for the portions proposed
to be taken from the other counties are
comparatively small. To ehe formation
of this county, the people of Hampstead
have no objection. That portion of her
presen. limits included between the
range line between ranges % and 20
.he proposed western boundary Of the
new county, aud her eastern boundary
as at present, is remote from the county
seat, sparsely populated, irregular IN
shape, and SO intersected with streams as
to render attendance at court and the
collection OF taxes extremely incon7en-
lent. BY giving up her territory as far
west as the proposed line, Hampstead
will be thrown into good shape, with the
seat of Justice nearly central, and will
moreover, by being reduced to her con-
s,itutional limits, be exempt from future
snnoyance in the construction Of new
counties.
The people of Ouachita, we learn. are
equally willing TO yield to the new coun-
sy that portion of her territory proposed
TO be relinquished, whilst the portions to
be taken from Union and Ouachita are
60 inconsiderable that we cannot think
their people would make to it any serious
objections.
The proposition to take from the wes-
tern and north western portion OF Hemp
.,ead in order to establish new county by
the addition of parts ofthe adjoining coun-
ties, is perfectly preposterous. 1t would
cut off some of her best lands, deprive
her of many of her most valuable citi-
zens, materially decrease her revenue,
and fix her western boundary within
few miles of the county seat already
much too far on The western side oi the
county. The establishment of the coun-
~ proposed on the east of Hampstead
would set matters right; would be of
great benefit to Hampstead and Ouachi-
Ia, from whose limits the far greater por-
ton of the new county would be taken,
and of no possible injury to Union or
Lafayette.
We hope the Legislature will look to
this matter. 1t is due to Hampstead
county that these annoyances should be
stopped. and that whilst reducing her to
her constitutional limits, she should be
left in good and convenient form. with
out materially decreasing her revenue or
population. This can only be done by
the formation of the new county pro-
prosed on her east, and to the Legisla-
ture of the State, in which alone is vest
ed the authority, we earnestly appeal for
its accomplishment.

FROM PERNAMBuco-Di6fculty acith
France.-A CORE spondent "f the N. Y.
Tribune writes, under date of September
9Th, that the French Consul, in attempt
ing, with number of his countrymen,
to resist the execution of judicial order
made upon claim against him by Bra
zllian clerk, received in all affray with
the constabulary several bayonet wounds.
Failing. upon demand, to obtain satisfac-
ton for the insult to his official character,
he took down his flagstaff aud arms,
abolished the Consulate, placed his coun-
trymen under the protection of the Brit
sh Consul, and left soon after for Europe.
We are afraid that this is the germ of a
difficulty that may prove serious.

MEssRs EprroRs The subject Of Daryin9 has
within the last ten or ften years attracted the at
tention of many Of our best agrculturists and has
heen experimental upon 10 that degree that it has
now become, perhaps, sn art. A few years ago
il "A man had his dairy Of twenty cows, he Was
considered by his neigbors an enthusiast He had
left the good old way ofhis fathers in raising gram
stock, d.. and was new engaged in speculatlns
scheme Soon the di,iryemen had, notwithstanding,
the SCOTS of his neishbors the comforts of life, and
ruse to aflluencc lie WAS no longer looked upon
as wild fanatic but as man of sense His
neighbors soon followed his example; and now
many farm that could not be made to produce
enough to paw its way in the old method Of farm

brings in handsome divilen, 10 its occupant The
hard, cold and stony lands Of the Air'ile and ls-
tern States that could scarcely be made to clear
Z enough to pay the taxes are now supplied with
good and costly buildings. and are divided into
coulmodous fields, with good and sufficient ienccs.
The farmers there found that to compete with the
West in raising grain was folly; that plan most
be adopted by them to support themselves in some
other way, or they would have to leave their homes
and seek the West too Now we find that many
IN old and almost worthless farm ut the East
makes rich and happy home
By looking over the list Of American exports
We find that thousands Of pounds, and tons too of
the product OF our daiics obtain market III fore
my ports Yes, even the ports Of old England

in agriculture. Six years while in England,
slw in their provisin markets butter and cheese
labelled American Butter, A,rerican Cheese, as ii
il were no dscredit to their shopsto have ad Amer
lean article IN them. And while our dairi,s are
finding foreign market, our home CONSUMPTION Is
sill increasing.
We have already noticed that Eastern farmers
could not compete with the West in raising grain
What extremity they will be driven to in few
Years more is hard to tell II farms that are
worth $40 or $50 p5r acre, can support DAIRY and
still go ahead in the East can we not, | ask, run
