NEW COUNTY.

As We learn, meeting was held at Grand
Junction on last Tuesday evening fer the
purpose of forming a new county, to be
composed OF a portion Of Hardeman and
Fayette, and we deem it proper to inform
our readers of the movement, frankly avow-
ing, however, that there is not, according to
the fundamental State law, sufficient terri
tory for the formation Of new county, and
will quote from the Code, article III, sec.
80, page 81, for the purpose of introducing
the subject:
New counties may be established by the
Legislature, to Jnsist Of not less than three
hundred and fifty square miles and which
shall contain a population of four hundred
and fifty qualified voters. No line Of such
county shall approach the Court House Of
any old county from which It may be taken,
nearer than twelve miles No part of O
county shall be taken of to form new
county, or part thereof without the con-
sent Of majority Of the qualified voters in
such part taken of; and in all cases where
On old county may be reduced, for the pur-
pose OF forming a new one, the seat Of Jus
uce IN SAID old county shall not be removed
without the concurrence Of two-thirds of
both branches of the Legislature nor shall
SAID old county be reduced to less than six
hundred and twenty Ave square miles"
Hardeman county is 223 miles one way
and 80 miles the other, and consequently
contains about 675 square miles. So, it viii
be seen, she only has about so square miles
that can be appropriated by the new county
because the law says the old county shall
not be reduced to- less than 625 souar
miles. As to Fayette county, it is certain
that she cannot give up three hundred squar
miles This being So we ask, where is tn
territory that is to form the new county
Under the law, we are satisfied that no san
man could or would object to the formatio
of new county if there was territory t
form it. The law itself provides for sue
procedure but is plain and unmistakable, an
the facts in the case must necessarily cor
vince every one who reads the section quote
that Hardeman cannot without violation @
change Of the law, contribute more tina
fifty square miles to the new county. W
have deemed it our duty to say this mucE
at this time, concerning the movement pr
on foot, knowing that sooner or later, th
subject will attract 60 little attention froI
ADLER minds than ours Certainly the ne,
county could be formed if the territor
could be found and majority of the qua
lied voters within the proposed bounds wer
favorable to the project

SPECULATION -Considerable speculation is
INDUCED in by the knowing ones as re-
CARDS the amount of cotton that will be pro-
ducod this year. Some persons have esti-
mated the crop as high as 100000 bales
while others confidently assert that not more
than 100000 viii be produced. Our hum
Bile opinion is, and we have been closely
watching reports from nearly all the cotton
growing country, that not more than l,75O,-
600 bales will be gathered from the crop of
1867. OverAows ia the spring, drouth, in
Texas, worms in Mississippi, Tennessee,
Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina, have
cut the crop short of what it would have
been at least ], OOO, 900 bales. This estimate of
loss is email enough in all conscience The
negroes have, in many places, bat poorly
performed their work, and if the total num-
Der Of bales Of this years crop should reach
the estimate given by US, It win most assuredly
be pleasing event, but we are more prone
to believe that the number viii even fall
shor tot that mark.

TROUBLE AT NASHVILLE. - To-day an
election for Mayor and Aldermen comes off
at Nashville, and IN consequence of the law
lessness Of radical rule trouble is anticipated.
The Board Of Aldermen appointed, some time
since, judges and clerks, this brought out
proclamation from the Governor, who claims
that the Registration officer of the county Of
Davidson is the only one who can appoint
such officers, and the t0orthy Governor warns
the city authorizes against any attempt to
control the election; Mayor Brown in turn,
issues a proclamation and calls upon the
citizens to see that the chartered rights of
the city are not ruthlessly trodden under
foot and does not hesitate to say that the
judges and clerks appointed by the city
council to hold the election will be held to
a strict accountability if they fail to dis
charge their bounden duty. Brownlow has
called upon Gen'l Cooper, commanding
State Guards, and Cooper is massing his
" melish for the purpose of intimidating,
we suppose, the people Of Nashville. We
hope no collision will take place, but at this
time it seems almost inevitable Cause of
all this trouble three radical candidates for
mayor and one conserEative-radicals are
afraid OF being thrashed
