RAPID POPULATION.

New Connecticut.—This district of territory, which constitutes the north east section of the new state of Ohio, is attracting notice. Six or eight years ago, it was a trackless wilderness known only to the hunter and the savage. Yankee enterprise, however, promises to convert this wilderness into a garden, and thus verify the prediction of the celebrated Volney, who in speaking of our north western country, says that it will hereafter become the Flanders of America. The emigrations already amount to about 800 families; and 200 families more are expected to come in the present year. Mills are erected in various parts, schools established, and a charter obtained for a college. The general face of the country is level, and the soil uncommonly rich and deep. It is bounded on the north by Lake Erie in latitude 42 and extends south on the west line of Pennsylvania, to within about 40 miles of Pittsburgh. The climate, according to Volney, corresponds with that of Maryland, notwithstanding that it lies nearly in our parallel of latitude.
