The population of Washington
county, according to the best lights,
is composed of about one half color
ed. lone forth American, and one
fourth foreign. The foreign popula
ton is very much mixed, and it is
difficult to determine the number of
each, the Germans, however, are large
" in the preponderance. Polanders
and Bohemian constitute the bulk
of the remainder. We have scarcely
any northern and western people.
They are a desirable class and it is
to be hoped that the present immi-
grafton movement will result in add
ing many of them to our population.
