County jail.

On Monday. the 23d day of March, at the
time of the township elections, the people are
called upon by the Board of County Com
Enissioners, to vote either for or against
building County Jail. The need of Jail
here has already been felt at various times.
All of our prisoners have been taken to
Lawrence, at very considerable cost to the
county. We believe It will be to the best
interests of the county and especially to the
tax payers to build Jail Immediately. In
oas case for taking horse thief to Topeka,
there are bills against the county of $50
for the single item of mileage for the Sher-
pose that If we should not have a Jail for
four or FIVE years, tina. these bills will
amount to enough to pay for good one in
that time. 1t will be a matter of economy,
then. for us to go at the work at once. If
we have Jail we can undoubtedly make
quite an item to the county in harboring
prisoners from the several counties south.
southwest and west of US, before they are
themselves ready and able to build Jalls.
Under the present arrangement all the pris-
oners that come into our hands have to be
boarded at the hotel, at an expense of fifty
cents per day. and have extra guards and
bailiffs. AS we shall have finally to put up
Jail. ftwould be economy to build it now
and save all these extra expenses. Such an
one as the county needs for many years to
come could be built for $4,000. Let all
look at this matter in the light of the inter
ests of the county. and of the tax payers,
and vote accordingly. The county is in as
good condition to make this improvement
now. with her scrip at 80 cents, as tever
will be. Vote for aJail. and when we get it
let us be sure that we all keep out OF il.

roi~' The endowment is to be all lands
set aside in the State for salt springs, by
The locating committee, except those sec
tons on which the springs are located.
There are seventy-two sections set aside for
salt springs. Taking one section for each
spring. it will leave sixty sections for an
endowment of the institution. We should
think the bill would pass. We cannot see
what object any one would have in voting
against it, except that there are one or two
points on the Kaw river-Tecumseh and
Lecompton-that have not yet been provid-
ed for at the expense of the State.

French Policy.

. ~ -
The Richmond Dispatch says: For our.
selves we can say that we see no prospect
whatever of French Intervention, nor can
we understand why Seward should be SO
much alarmed upon that head France
has already all she wants. She sent an ar
my to Mexico, and will no doubt conquer
that country. She has blown the Monroe
doctrine to the winds. Tt will never be
heard of again in our times. Itwas, as in.
terpreted of late years, ridiculous enough;
but, as long as we were one people, no Eu-
ropean power burst callit in question
Now it has gone the way Of all flesh, along
with the old United States and the Gonsti-
tuition which created their Government
The French want Mexico for its cottou.pro-,
duoing capabilities. They viii soon fnd
that cotton cannot be produced by white
labor. They can get the slaves nowhere
else but in Africa, and to Africa they will
resort for them. There is no Exeter Hall
in Paris, and the Emperor Napoleon is no
humanitarian. If he wants the negroes to
cultivate his cotton lands, he will not stand
upon scruples. He will the African
slave trade at once, and Seward will enjoy
the enviable satisfaction Of seeing the revi-
val Of that traffic, the result Of his humane
labors in endeavoring to destroy the States
Of this Confederacy.

The Cotton Crop.

The following dispatches from the Brit
ish Consuls at Charleston and Savannah, on
the subject Of the cotton crop of 1862, have
been received by the English Government:
BRITISH CONSULATE, CHARLESTON,
November %, 1862.
My LORD With reference to my des-
patch No. 1O4, Of the 18th of August last
in which I had the honor to submit to your
Lordship certain information on the subject
of the cotton; then existing in the Southern
States of America, Ibeg leave to state that
IShaYe taken some pains, now that the crop
Of 1862 is gathered, to ascertain whether
any alteration is to bemade in the estimate
upon whichmy despatch was based. Find,
after careful inquiry, that quarter ofsa
million bales may be added to the amount
supposed to be on hand. .Itmay, therefore,
be roughly calculated that there remain in
those States 4 4,250,0 900 bales Of upland cot.
ton, which could be exported in the event
of the ports being opened to trade.
Ibeg leave to report that the long or Sea
Island cotton does not enterinto my esti.
mate, for the. reasons given in my despatch
No. 104. - (.
It should be always borne in mind that
the irregularity, and, in some instances,
total suppression Accommodation between
portions of the Southern States, reader all
cotton calculations somewhat arbitrary.

To KILL WORMS IN PEACH TREE RooTs.
Our people do not sufficiently attend to
their fruit trees hence the defective char
acter Of much Of our fruit. A simple plan
for destroying the worm that infest the root
of the peach tree is hereuuto annexed, and
is at least worth trial. Many tree might
thus be madeto bear perfectly which would
otherwise fail
aTake small hoe, or other suitable I'M
plement, and excavate the earth from the
roots Of the tree to the depth that the worms
usually penetrate. Then take about 9
pound of unslacked lime, broken into small
fragments !; mix it with the earthfremoved
from the tree root, and pack theFmixture
into, the excavation around the tree; then
pour water upon the mixture in sufficient
quantity to slack the lime. The heat evolv.
ed by this means, together with the corro.
sive quality of the lime will, within few
minutes, destroy every worm, even when
