BAD AK COUNTY.
E-iIf the editor of the Democrat will take
the trouble to look on the map of the
state of Wisconsin, he will find that the
little county of Badax contains near
ly four times as much territory as Mil
waukee county aud that there is not
half dozen counties in the state as large
as Badax county. which classes among
the largest counties in the state. It has
nearly as much navigable water on its
western boundary as Milwaukee county
has on her eastern boundary. Badax
county has water power enough to carry
all the necessary machinery of the state
for the next 100 years if properly inn
proved We have thousands upon
thousands of acres of the very best corn,
wheat, sugar-cane, oat potato and grass
lands, and thousands of millions of feet
OF the best lumber in the state, awaiting
occupants and strong and willing hands.
We have beautiful clear springs of the
nectar drink, prepared by God for
man, and a pure healthy climate as can
be found in the world. Land is cheap
and good crops easily raised, and the
center Of the county is only DO miles
from the Milwaukee and Mississippi
K. K. and railway through the west
end of the county is to be commenced

Badax county, Notwithstanding its
''badaxes" is rapidly going ahead. II ia
now quite probable that 1000 at least
of the 10, 600 Norwegians who are on
tkeir way to the northwest part of the
United States will purchase land in
this county. And if they bring with
them the average amount of money that
tine foreign emigration has heretofore
brought into this state, it will amount
to one hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars. And we may confidently expect
that the other foreign and home emf
grafton will exceed the Norwegian which
together will make $500, 600 of the pre-
cious metals 1t is currently reported
that the NorwegiGns coming to this
country will number from 2, 500 to 8, 900
but we have preferred to divide the
number by 3

for us to obtain pa per elsewhere in seq

The half sheet we issued for that date
will have to suffice We expect to have
a paper mill in this region in the course
of another year. Subscribers commenc-
ing with June, 1856, will receive their
full year the first week in July, 1857
