Our County Map.

We had call from Mr. j. H.
flanagan, Typographical Engineer for
d. G. Beers & Co., now engaged in
revising survey made of Il portion
of Gibson county some time ago, by a
man with a wheel or "odometer.
Mr L. says they purpose making a
complete property map of the whole
county, providing they meet with suf-
ficient encouragement to justify them
in going on with the work. The map
when completed will show all the
roads with their measured lengths in
rods, the location of every persons
dwelling; the streams, springs, and
places of historical interest will also
be located, together with the mineral
developments, &c. Mr. l.. had with
him map of Milan, which is COM
piete and correct in every particular.
We are glad to see this work going on,
as we have long felt the need of a
good county map, and, Judging from
what they have already done, we are
fully convinced that they are compe-
tent of doing the work they have un>
dertaken. And We sincerely hope
this enterprise will not fail for want
of encouragement On the part Of our
citizens.

Capital Coming to Tennessee.

One of the most gratifying results
attained by the Bureau of Agricul>
ture, Immigration, Statistics and
Mines is the movement among men of
capital from the North. Since the
consolidation of the Bureau. Of Immi-
grafton of Agriculture, Statistics and
Mines, three months ago, 1856 letters
addressed by persons in the North
have been answered. The following
is list showing the number that have
emigrated from each state under the
direct auspices of the bureau: Indi-
ana As, Ohio 43, Minnesota, %, IL
linois, q, Nebraska 15, Wisconsin 13,
New Jersey y, Pennsylvania s, Mich
igan II, New York Z, Missouri 2,
Connecticut 2.
This does not embrace large num-
Der who have not reported to the Bu>
reau. a number of colonies have full
ly decided to come to Tennessee but
have fixed no time for starting.
The most important of these Is
colony at Black River Falls,
Wisconsin, which will probably locate
in either Dickson or Humphreys
county. Could parties in the North
dispose of their lands, the tide of i'm
migration which would flow into Ten>
nessee would be without an ebb, and
alarming to the interest of the entire
NOrth.-NashriHe Banner.

What is Lost on Cotton Seed at
The South.

We see it stated in some of our
Southern exchanges that the "Pa-
tron of Husbandry, of Tennessee, ad-
vises farmers against selling their cot
ton seed to oil mills for So and SO
per ton, when they would as readily
command $50" 1t would seem that
the farmers have had little knowledge
of the actual value of the seed, aud
sell it for 50, whereas the latter man,
ed price it appears would be paid by
the oil manufacturers if farmers were
posted as to holding the seed. As
showing what could be saved each
year if farms put Up oil mills, the fol-
lowing statement is made; The crop
this year will reach 100000 bales,
and from this there will be obtained
$40, 100000 pounds of seed. There
could be realized from this product
alone nearly s1a,0O0,OOO. Not more
than epe-tenth of the seed would be
consumed in planting, showing that
the farmers loss on this item alone
will reach oyer S13, 100000.
