Entering Town Sites.
The following correspondence will show
that the act of the last Legislature of the
Territory, designating the County Commis
sioners aa the proper persons to enter Town
Sites, is not recognized by the Commissioner
of the Land Ollice.
It Is a question of doubt whether the Judges
of Probate, or the United States Judges, can
be regarded aa "Judges of the County Court."
Aa soon as that doubt is removed, notice wl.l
be given. In the mean time no entering of
towns not Incorporated ran be made.
A copy of the net of the last Legixlatuie
will be placed In the hands of the Commis
sioner, and, under the circumstances, the en
tries already made may be confirmed.

Under the "act of twenty-third May, 1814,"
the "Judges of the County Court" are given
the authority to enter "Town Sites." In this
Territory there are no such officers as "Judges
of the County Court," but the Legislature has
recognized the "County Commissioners" as
the proper persons to enter "Town Sites,"
and ws nave, in view of the spirit of the law,
permitted such entries, in the hope that it
will meet the approbation of the Department.

We take this occasion to announce to Farav
era throughout the country, that it it the In
tention of the Editor and Proprietor ef the
"Germantown Telegraph." not only to con
tinue as heretofore the Agricultural Depart
ment of his paper, but sedulously to add te
its character and value by all the meant at
command. All necessary space shall be pro
vided for a ful irecord of Agricultural Details
and a full development of every branch of th
Farmer't Pursuit. He will in future, as ha
has always heretofore, aim to be practical,
and to be of real and substantial advantaft
to husbandry. His course, also, will eontindt
to I e thoroughly independent, and wholly ua
biassed by any other motives than those he
conceives to be promotive of the true interest
of Agriculture in its broadest meaning. Neither
individuals, cliques, societies, or any other ia
fluence shall swerve him from the path of
right and duty.
Farmers, throughout the country, who (!
sire a Newspaper, issued weekly, and equal
to any other family news and literary journal
published, which makes Agriculture a speci
ality, will find the "Germantown Telegraph'
to fulfill every condition, and to render it en
tirely unnecessary for them to subscribe for a
periodical exclusively agricultural.
Practical Horticulture, Pomology and Car-,
dening, generally, will meet with particular
attention.
Aa a Literary and Newt Journal it shall
not be surpassed by any in the country.
Neatly printed on good paper, of the largest
class, it shall continue to be one of the band"
somest newspapers of the day.
Every Family, in town or country, whether
they take other papers or not, will find the
"Germantown Telegraph" to be worth, in lit
eral benefit, twice the amount of tubscriptioa.
