FLAX.-Ihe drouth OF the past year has
destroyed nearly all the fax seed in this vi
cinity. The linseed oil manufacturers, to en-
courage the growth Of the article, will import
a large quantity of foreign seed and sell it low
to the farmers 1t is said to be profitable
crop, and a yield Of ten bushels per acre is a
good average. 1t requires little labor, and in
ordinary seasons it natures before the drouth
affects it. 1t is not an exhausting crop, and
is a good one to precede crop of winter
wheat. Heretofore, raisers have depended on
the seed alone for compensation, but there is
valuable. The new inventions for spinning
and weaving fax by machinery, are working
admirably in England and Ireland, and the
new linen factories which have been built on
places in New England, are all doing WELL
and are contributing to the rapid reduction Of
the cost of linen. Similar establishments be-
fore many years will be erected in the West,
where flax is grown the cheapest and of the
best quality. When this shall be done, and
the lint be in demand, flax will be one Of our
chief staples and most profitable crops. We
have greater advantages for the growth of flax
on our rich soils, and for its manufacture by
our cheap steam power, than any part Of the
world and by combining these, with our
cheap food, we ought to Guido the world in
this branch of Industry.
Already the straw is becoming valuable for
various purposes. In the neighborhoOd of Day
ton, Ohio, Immense quantities of flaxseed are
produced, the straw brings from five to ten
dollars Ter ton, depending upon condition. II
cut with scythe it is tangled like hay, and is
considered less valuable than when pulled and
kept in bundles. The fax straw in Dayton
is passed through a series of futed rollers in
the unrotted condition, and sold to the uphol-
sters for stuffing hair cushions, &c. Some is
exposed to the weather so as to become par
TALLY rotted, then passed through rollers and
converted into material for paper Makers
Some is converted into tow suitable for certain
descriptions of cordage, and the better quail
ties are rotted, broken out and scutched for
the Eastern flax mills.
The Louisville Courier says company has
been formed there to purchase the straw and
manufacture it into coarse articles. We hope
this experiment may lead to the introduction
of the fine linen manufacture There is moth
ing more intricate in the machinery for spin
ming and weaving fax, than that Of cotton -
and there are many English and Irish opera.
tives now working in our cotton factories who
are familiar with spinning and weaving fax
and who only want aid to start it. A bushe
of seed will SOW an acre, which will produce
ten bushels of seed and ton of straw. Fol-
manufacturing purposes the straw must b.
pulled, and a machine has been invented ant
is now in use in New York State, by which
one horse pulls and spreads six acres of fla,
in day. 1t is public property, the paten
having expired, and it is said that the macbin,
can be had for about sixty dollars.

A SMALL MAJoRITY.-The telegraph dis
patches from Chicago, on Saturday, repor
that returns had been received from all the
State of Illinois, except three small counties,
which exhibited majority of only 1867 for
Buchanan. Another report reduces Buch-
anan's majority to SGT votes, but the last re-
port leaves seven counties unheard from. The
vote for President is very close one. Bis
sells majority will reach $500 to 5000.

gauchere as Negotiator.
o. England is about to be drawn into an
expensive and vexatious contest with Persia, to
defend her Eastern possessions against the Sc
cret intrigues, as she supposes, of the Rus
slams operating through Persia. The fortress
and town of Herat is the key to India from
the North; it commands the only road, and
passes from the Caspian Sea to the river In
dus. 1t belongs to the Afghans, and by a
treaty made by England with them in 1858,
she guaranteed the possession of Herat to
Dost Mahomed of Cabul, and agreed to defend
his territory from invasion. The Persians at
the instigation, as suspected, of Russia has
seized this important strong hold and retains
it against the claims of Dost Mahomed and
the protests of England. In compliance with
the obligations of treaty, and for the security
of her North Indian frontiers, Great Britain
is preparing an expedition which is to assem-
BILE at the head of the Persian Gulf and cap
ture Bushire one of the most important sea-
ports in Southern Persia; and this place will
be held till ,Herat is relinquished; or if this
capture and the blockade of the whole Per
sian Gulf does not bring his Persian Males
