We are pleased To learn 10y the
Weptherford papers 0ndpriyaiolclI
that tie frontier counties are rupIdly
Alllug up with industrious people The
Slguot says that from one point ~
Henry county, lrom which, on lhol
Of September, not u hablalIon could
be seen, forly-scycn family homes can
now bo counted. The county VIII ho
soon organized, It's salt works at drl-
ham are supplying tho county with
that Indispensable article, Of excellent
quality, and viii soon have capacity to
turn out u very large quantity per duy'
Other counties are also receiving large
accesslonsi and, now that the people
are inspired with tho belief TINT the
lighting policy Of Generals sherman
and Sheridan viii he vigorously prose-
Oulcd against the hostile Indians, they
nre working with renewed hope ~
opening new homes and improving old
ones. They feel that u new era ~
opening to them, after long years Of
suffering, We trust their faith
may ho verified; and have no doubt
Of tho determination Of tho officers
named, together with deDerqls Mo-
KcnHlc, Hatch, aud other officers
stationed imme lately on our frontier,
to do all IN their power 10 chastise the
sayagcs aud arrest their bloody forays
upon our people, Sherman and Sheri-
dan assent TO the Quaker policy to-
wards poaceNble Indians on reseYa-
lions, but only upon tho condition OF
energetic war TO the knife against all
in hostility until the last tribe shall be
rendered powcress for OWL TpSaS
will compromise upon this policy, II
vigorously pressed to results, until life
on the frontier shall be ag safe rs in
the interior. rr
A few words as to the country itself.
Taken rs Il whole, 1t Is emphahcally a
good country, abounding in II large
proportion Of eXcellont land, plenty Of
timber, generally well wat0rod, with
ineXhaustablo and choice building
stone, and, beyond all question, one
of the healthiest districts on the oonti-
nent. IL has copper and coal mines
covering large areas. II has valuable
salt springs. II will produce cotton,
corn, wheat, rye, oats, barley and
tobaccoproitably. 1t is n fine copHry
for horses, mules and cattle, and large
districts Of it for hogs. But II consid-
cradle Of it, and that being those parts
unfit for agriculture, Is admirably adap'
ted to shcepgrowing. It's latitude as
well rs It's attitude, iIs liilly charaeterS
rich, short mcsquit grass and It's pure
Air, all lit II for the profitable prodHc-
zion Of shoop, both fox wool and NUT
ton. We simply refer to thc fact
without dissertation upon the
subject.
We say, now, ~ We say to all who,
~ emigrants, ask our adTlee, that
these are brief but earnest, views
of The case, and those who wish to buy
land in such country, at mere nom-
inal rates, should go there. They will
find brave, opon-hearted class Of men
for ncighbors, with both doors and
hearts open to newcomers, and, SO far
as we can see ahead, will, in compar.
atively short time, be in convenient
approximation to one or more rail-
roads.
