! nat this IS not the easiest county in
the States for farmers, is fact not to be
disguised. But it is also a fact, that this
county possesses advantages which are
not yet fully appreciated. We think 1t
is new pretty generally conceded, that
every person who bas home here, would
Do well to rcta'. it-fhat It 1ciU not boy
to sell OFT and go West. This being con-
ccdsl, it is our duty to devote ourselves
10 the Improvement and Development Of
our adopted homes.
The Educational movement is so well
under way, that We trust it viii go on
prosperously and triumphantIy. But this
can only be done by the action of tie pco-
pie themselves. Let them take an in
tcrest in the election Of the best men for
School Directors, aud cooperate with them
the Teachers and the County Superin-
tcndcnt; and the Eeducational improve
meuts Of the county, viii SOON be as con-
spicuous and as fortunate, as our TEN
pcrancc reform.
u hat the county most needs at this
time, is a better system Of husbandinc her
resources, and Improving her advantages
TOO much money is spent out of the
county, for what might be produced in
it, and too little is accomplished, with the
money brought in and used here.
Thousands Of dollars are every year sent
out for provisions, that might be raised
here. Beef and mutton can be raised in
this county as easily as in any part Of the
United States, in this latitude, and they
are more healthy than pork Why then,
should our hard earnings 60 in thousands
to the west to pay for that greasy bilious
article Of food, that is, to say the least Of
it, not necessity to any hody. Let
every farmer raise his own meat ana a
title to sell, and see how quick an in
proyement will be made in the prosperi-
ty Of the county.
We think VIC note a favorable feeling
on this subject already, and we desire to
strengthen the feeling ten fold. Sheep
will grow fat oa briers and patches of
grass that would be worthless without
them, and every farmer in the county
who has not a small fock, IS suffering a
loss which he ought to stop at once.
The present fall should be lesson to
be improved 1t has been very unfavor-
able for securing crops and doing ordinary
fall work, but it has been highly favorable
for tatteninS sheep and cattle, Ia fact
they have almost fatted themselves. Thus
the farmers who had them, saw his work
going On during all those rainy unpleasant
days.
As this is the time to review the work
Of the season, to sec what has been ac-
complished, and what mag be accomplish
ed next year, we shall renew the subject
as VIC find leisure for writing.

THE London Times recommends the
universal adoption Of the English alpha
bet in India.-E,c.
Why not adopt it? Missionaries and
foreign Merchants spend years in study
ing languages, and often in reducing them
to writing; and when they nave done i,
it is nothing but gibberish. 1t must one
day all be done over again, because the
English alphabet is not adopted at first,
Say what We may, no tongue ever spoken
among men, appeared so likely to become
universal as our mother English does at
present.

We hope the people of Kansas will
avail themselves Of the opportunity Of
tyoting upon the slavery question present
ed by the schedule Of the late ,C2nFen-
+tion. However poor tie boon may be.
compared with. the right they should have
tenjoyed Of passing Judgment upon their
4entire Constitution, their position may be
improved, and ne do not see how it can
be seriously injured, by expressing their
sentiments upon that question. BY vet
ing, the whole country will be taught,
.rhat their wishes are, if the election be
fai,i., conducted, as We hope 1t may be.
.-Piaadc,p[ia F'ess, Des. 5h.
Will the Press inform rs how they
can vote under the prorisiy.s Of he Con-
stitution they arc called to pass MN ?
Will the Dictatar allow their names to be
registered as voters. Again; Would the
editor Of the P1css have the people Of
Kansas recognize the authority Of Gal
houn & Co, by voting at the December
election. We see a little inconsistency
in the policy of the Press IN this matter.
1t first says the Convention vas without
aathoray, and then asks the People Of
Kansas 10 recognize an authority which
it saya does not exist.
TnE WAYIr VAS DoyE.-A PhiladcI-
phian writes to the !, /. Tribune 243
inst, as follows
The relief law Of October last was
paid for with money. Itrcachcs only in
to April, just long enough to make more
legislation necessary the cos2irg session :;
50 & new lsue and cry - got up in antici-
patton, and II ne banks expect more III
dulSc@cc rAey must pay more money. The
,anks ia this city were ted IN the terms
that if they would pay 50 many thousand
dollars they could have Whist legislation
they pleased. But they sturdiiy refused
10 pay dollar. Message after message
was sent to them from Harrisburg, ot1er-
ING to do the job Al greatly reduced
price. They tclegrapacd back their de-
termination not to pay cent, and the
bill then up Was immediately defeated.
Here was great muss. Certain friends
Of tie banks happening to be at Harris
burg at the moment, took round 4 lat on
their own responsibilities. Money must
be had, and. the next day was the last Of
the session. One distinguished gentle
man put in the hat Il thousand dollars
i merchant Of this city pitched IN another
thousand then there were sums Of al
sizes from 4 hundred dollars down to as
low a. ten, thrown in by different classes,
until the whole amounted to the magui-
fcent pile OF $1,000. This money went
but hoId somebody knows where, and
if sworn upon sufficient number OF
evangcIists, could tell. Next morning,
the b!l passed, though the price demand
ed by the thieves had been 100000
Here was clear loss o. miscarriage to the
amount Of S94,0JU, which tie tobby men
are bound to make up TINS '3ii4Jtf, by
again blackmailing the banks The bue
and cry against tnen is Z pronon-ory q
the game to be played Our banks Gnyw

square up against this t.icying combiua-
ton, and agree to wind up rather than be
p!undercd, they would thus cxtcrt the
right kind Of legislation Irce Of cc5t.'
