OaIo CENSUS Fairfield COunty.-
Railroads, 8r.-The Ohio State Journal
has returns from forty.nine counties in
the State. which show all increase in our
population since lS40 Of a little over Al
per cent. The actual increase In these
counties is 2SS,9l5. From present ap.
pearances the population Of The State
will reach about 2,l50,000.
The population of Fairfi Id county is
3O.22l. In 1910. it was 1924 This
shows decrease Of 1903 Slncs that
time, Perry Township and the South
half ot Auburn have been taken off
Perry may be estimated at ll72 and the
Smith tialI IF Auburn at about $50. in all
1899; SO that Fairfield county may he
said to have asariy held her oWn,
As intimately connected d with this sub
ject of population, we may here mention
that a meeting of citizens favorable to
the construction Of Railroad from Gin
Cinnati to Zane vile. will be held in this
place sometime during next week. IT
such road can be constructed, we con
fdentiy believe that it will be the best
paying road in Ohio. II runs through
several very fertile and popuIous coun-
ties and is by considerable the shortest
route from the city Of C'Hcianati To
Wheeling via ZAnesvilIe, This latter
advantage will ensure to il very large
amount of through travel, Ia say nothing
Of the products Of Perry, Fayel'e aud
Clinton counties. which al this time have
no improvements of this character.
But all this is matter for cnnsidera.
Tim. II meeting is held in this place,
the advantages of the proposed route
will no doubt he fully examined and ex.
planned For ".f part, we have cnnclu
titd 10 keep still for the present; but will
attend the meeting aud hear able men
discuss the interests Of our county.

rly President Fillmore tells the Govern,
~ that the question asked b. him is one
which neither the Governor of South
Carolina nor the Legislature Of that State
has right To put. By the constitution
uf lie Jmited States he is commander
in,chief"f the army aud navy, and has
therefore right to diSptse of the forces
of the United States in barracks when
ever he considers it best for the public
interest. and therefore respectfully de
clines answering the inquiry.
II the Governor Of South Carolina is
very anxious to know, the dele gaInn in
Congress from that State, by resolution
of inquiry, can probably Gnd out the rea
son and satisfy his Excellency.

FRANcE.-G German Afairs.--lt is now
well known that Louis Napoleon has FIR
sometime past been playing a double
game Whilst he himself in his message
and his ministers on all occasions, have
been proclaiming their determination To
remain neutral, and declaring their anxi-
ety for the maintenance of peace, his
minister at Berlin, N. de Persigny, has
been acting very different part. This
minister Immediately befnre he left Ber-
lin. assured the King OF Prussia that the
object of the President of the Republic,
III augmenling the force ofthe French ar.
my, and Of drawing so large portion Of
II towards the frontiers of Germany, was
to afford him assistance in case of need;
or, at all events. tn lntimidale Russia, in
case that Power should Shnw any Gisposi
tihh To come To the aid of Austria. The
sudden change of policy on the part Of
the French COVE nment has suspicious
look. As long as Louis Napoleon had
any hope that the gfeatbndy ofthe French
conservatives would support his preten
sions 10 prolongation Of his power, he
HaItered them by throwing the weight of
his influence in the scale nf Austria, but
no sooner does he Ard that their support
is doubtful. than he veers round and de.
clsres himself in favor of Prussia. The
French conservatives lunk upun that
change as nothing better than fresh at
tempt on his part To gain popularity with
the army. without regard tn the interests
OF France. 1t gives them great une asi.
ness, because, coming precisely at the
moment when Prussia is mad with ex.
cItement, 1t may have the deplorable ef:
feet Of plungiDg Europe into general
war. The pnsilion of the King of Prus-
STA is considered at Paris a particularly
difficult aud dangerous one. Many com.

We deeply regret to perceive that the al
