:.JI- THE-KEW .COUNTY,

?0n

Monday last a petition was present4-' cd to. onr County Commissioners,, from the citizens of Brown, Scott, a portion of Ripley and ouo mile oflf of Union township, of Montgomery county, together writh a portion of Putnam and Parke counties, praying our .Commissioners to grant an order for a now county to be organized out of sajd''territory. The iricaniog of this ceffisb and scheming jsrciposition^is, to dismember old SfDntgortjer^^ of'ofee fifth.pl/ her most -valuable territory.-' To rtfduce her from the fifth county in. llie'8t"3'fe, toV fortieth rate and diminish that confidence, self-respect and influence to which she is. justly entitled as a firetclass county It is passing strange that a question involving so much of vital importance to oar citizens, j-hould be so heedlessly passed. Our citizens owning property from one thousand dollars to one hundred thousand, have never raised a-single voice in opposition to it until it became a serious reality, and the power of obtaining it was almost in the hands of its friends. For nearly forty years has Montgomery been an organized county, with her area of five hundred and eight square miles and certainly the peo pie have prospered. Her taxable property now amounts to $7,335,972. Her pop illation has "steadily increased, tliey have caused the wilderness to bud:and blossom as the rose men have lived and 'prospered and grown gray in Montgomery, and have never regretted the qhoicc thej' made, noi looked back with sorrow to1 the hour they came, wisely considering their lots cast in pleasant places. ^'.\Vhy should those citizens of Brown and Scott townships murmur? Montgomery was a regularly organized county when they purchased their lands and they well knew lie distance to our county town.— It was a fair contract, and now we think, the statute of limitations ought to bar their suit. The citizens of Montgomery have been content dining this period, till a few property-holders in the vicinity of Russelville conceived that anew county should be formed out of the surplus territory of these counties, for no other than the selfish purpose of enriching themselves.

Whether this new law in reference to

the formation of new counties, is consti tutional or not, in the language of a great statesman, "is a question for the courts but to a man of common understanding, it is a law impairing the validity of contracts. Because it must be clear, that the aliquot part of Brown and Scott townships liability of our county, and especially the Railroad debt, are debts that they certaiuly are parties to and when they remove to Bourbon county, they can not be liable—at least so argued by many. If Bouibon should be organized out of the territory now proposed, Putnam county will be reduced to less than four hundred square miles, which is the constitutional limit.— And further, that this law does not allow the \vhole people of Montgomery, Parke and Putnam counties, a voice in this matter, who are unquestionably interested in the transfer of their territory. It may be constitptional (aecording to our constitution) but it is not good sense.

The petition was finally withdrawn, but will, we learn, be presented at a subsequent term.

SARDINIAN BULLETIN.

TURIN, May 31.—A fresh victory has been gained by our troop?. At 7 o'clock this morning a force of 125.000 Austrians endeavored to retake Palestro. The King of Sardinia, commanding the fourth division in person, and Gen. Cialdinri at the head ol the third regiment- of Zouaves, resisted the attack for a considerable time, and then having successfully assumed the offensive, pursued the enemy, taking 1,000 prisoners and capturing 8 guns, 5 of which were obtained by the Zouaves 500 Austrians were drowned in a canal during the light.

Anothei fight took place at Confonza, in the Province of Zoniellin, in which the enemy wore repulsed by the division under Gen. Forey of the first crops of the French army, after two hours conflict.

Last nigiit a picket of the enemy endeavored to pass the Pi at C'ervistria, but they were repulsed by the inhaitants of that vicinity.

The Austrians have evacuated Yaro, in the Province of Jiabbio. 'J' TOP.IN, June 1st.-—A secoiid victorious conflict occurred at 6 o'clock last evening at Palestro. The enemy endeavored to re enter,but were repulsed by the division under Gen. Cialdini, composed of the, Zouaves and Piedmontese calvery. The King pressed foi ward when the light was most furious, and the Zouaves vainly trying to restrain him.

On Tuesday the Austrians nttacted the Sardinian vanguard at Zelo Calende, and after a fight of two hours our troops pursued the enemy across the Ticino.

The details of the battle of-Polastro say that the Saidinians were at one time outflanked by the Atistrians who threatening the bridge of boats across the Sesia, over which General Canrobert was to effect juncture with the King, At this jnnctuie the Zouaves lost one officer, and 20 men killed, and 200 wounded, including ten officers.

Political feeling is becoming very warm as the canvass waxes on towards the election1. The protection of slavei-y in,,pie territories is the great subject of discussion by aspirants to office .and also by the people. Mr. Magoffin, tho old line democratic candidate for Governor, in the opening of the canvass, took the position that Congress had the right to pass laws for the protection of slavery in tho territories, but that it was inexpedient to exercise the right at the present time. Mr. Bell, the opposition candidate, took the ground,that Congress had the right to protect slavery in the territories, aud should exercise that right that'C'ongress should neither legislate slavery into the territoiies nor remove it when there. Such were the respeetive positions

JJT-

in the opening of the campaign but the programme has somewhat changed since the Virginia election. The doctrine of nonintervention, as advocated by Letcher in Virginia, and Magoffin in Kentucky, had reduced the democratic majority in tho old dominion from 30,000 to 0,000. This startled the democracy of Kentucky. Nonintervention suddenly loomed up as a fearful rock on which the democratic ship might strike, flounder and sink. Magoffii) as a watchful and faithful Palinnrus, tacked ship, aud issued a new chart, and steeled for clearer waters. He.now issued another proclamation, declaring that Congress not only had the right to protect slavery in the territoiies. and should cxcrcisfi that right, but if necessary should call out the military to enforce that protection.— Bell had struck a note which thrilled and vibrated through the southern heart, and aroused the people to stern and vigorous action. The Virginia election sent terror through the democratic ranks, hence the necessity for tacking sliipr for change of policy and principle. What the result will bo cannot now be told. The opposition are more hopeful thau the democracy but there is a sleepless vigilance in both parties, and the struggle for victory will be severe, every inch of ground will be fought hand to hand Bell charges with great power and effect the unparalclled extravagance of the present administration, and these charges cannot be rebutted.

The excitement produced in Lexington by the murder of Mr. Blincoe, the jailor, is very great. The piisoner has offered his lawyers, Vice President Breckenridge and his partner Mr. Breck, his entire fortune to clear him —he is said to be worth $25,000. At a meeting held by the citizens, some of the most distinguished urged the people to hang him, and save his property I or his wife and children. There seems to be scarcely a possibility for his escape.— Were he by some technicality of the law to be cleared, there is a disposition on the part of tho people to hang him by mob law, and this feeling will doubtless find vent in the speedy execution of the prisoner. Liquor was the cause of tho murder drugged liquor had wrought madness in the brain of the prisoner his reason was dethroned vengeance burned in his heart from the slightest cause, and he rested not till his hands were imbrued in the heart's blood of the man whom he had supposed insulted him. Blincoe, though an inoffensive, sober gentleman, who touched not the intoxicating bowl, was sacrificed on the bloody altar of intemperance, and the murderer will doubtless foifeit his life aud thus two families are ruined and made wretched by the drinkinc of a few glasses of liquor. Fearful, thrice fearful is the doom of that man who presents the bottle to his neighbor's lips.

I am glad to find that the Louisville chemical works, under the direct care and supervision of Prof. Lawrence Smith, are becoming popular, and acquiring a justly deserved leputation among all the best druggists and physicians of our country. Some American chemical establishments have done a noble work in giving to the world pure and unadulterated medicines but still is there a demand for reform.— Many articles possess a commercial value differing from the requirements of the U. S. Pharmacopoeia, which should be the guide of all chemical works. Prof. Smith who is regarded as one of the most ac^ complished and thorough chemists of our country, has fixed upon this as his standr ard, aud adheres strictly to it. Duiingmy stay in Louisville, 1 'spent an hour with him in his works, examined many of his 'products, which are beautifully prepared, .andon'which the profession may rely with confidence.

been-faniiliftr \vith its workings from his childhood to the present time, and having looked into the subject with all the powers of his clear, thoroughly cultivated and searching mind, he has come to the conclusion that slavery is the great curse of Kentucky society, the only serious drawback to its higher prosperity.
