A New Staie.

n NeW Stutes
A movement is on foot among thu
inhabitants of certain counties O
Kentucky, Tennessee & Mississi PIP
to separate from those States and
erect a new one. Seven counties
OF Kentucky, nineteen of Tennes-
see, and eighteen Of Mississippi
are engaged in the movement,
which would give the new State
forty-four counties, with popula-
ton in round numbers of 100000.
1t would comprise the neck of land
lying between the Ohio, Mississippi
and Tennessee rivers, with three
tiers of the northern counties of
Mississippi. 1t contains the populous
towns of Paducah, Mayfield and
others, in Kentucky; Memphis,
Paris, Jackson and Boliver in Ten
nessee; Holley Springs, Corinth
and Aberdeen in Mississippi. 1t is
fine upland and valley region,
possessing many navigable streams,
and intersected by numerous rail
ways, either completed or in pro-
ject. The citizens are among the
best educated and most respectable
in the several States involved in |
the scheme. The effect from ter
ritorial point of view may be readi-
ly seen by glance at the map
Kentucky and Tennessee would not !
suffer seriously, the former losing
only seven counties in the extreme
corner of the State, and the latter
giving up large territory, but in
such a way that it would not injure
the symmetry of the State, nor cut
It off from the navigation Of any
river. With Tennessee,
however, the case would be differ
ent. 1t would lose 100000 of its
wealthiest and most intelligent citi-
Gems. Memphis, its most important
,ity, and would in addition be en-
.irely cut off from the Mississippi.
As the consent of the Legislatures
Of the States concerned, as well as
hat of Congress, is necessary for
he formation of new State with q
n the limits Of any other State or C
states, the success of the scheme is n
ather uncertain. Why the sepa- I
alton is proposed we are not in fl
,rmed, but whatever the PERSONS
re, they were sufficient to make d
ne meeting at Jackson, Tenn, re- t,
emily, in behalf of the project, a p
lost enthusiastic one, and the or i
yinators of the scheme seem to be
lnguine of its success. 1t is pro- n

POLITICAL NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS.

The Boston 7rduel'er pithiy says:-"The news
papers hostile to General Butler find nothing to
condemn in his birmingham speech, and are now
crtticising him for what he did not say. These
critics are not easily satisfed.n
>, Ex-Governor J. W. Throckmorton. OF Texas, has
Withdrawn his name from public consideration as
Q candidate for Governor.
The Albany Argus (democrattcl, referring to the
snti-Butler republicans especially its neighbor,
the Journal declares that 'it is an anectation Of
ignorance and an open affront TO treat General
Butler as one whose society and whose leadership
are q disgrace" The Argus thinks the General is
700 valuable for that.
'Butler's speech at Framingham Is unusually
tame and vapid," says the Albany Journal Tepub-
1can), ana then goes on to give q column editorial
IN reply to some OF the Generals arguments.
The farmers out West celebrated the Fourth by
reading new declaration OF ndependence--inde-
pendence from railroad and all other kinds Of mo-
nopoly tyranny.
