CARROLL COUNTY.
CARROLL was created by an Act of the General Assembly passed at the session of 1835-36, and again at the succeeding session of 1836-37, and it was organized early in 1837. The county was named in affectionate honor of the then venerable and yet venerated Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the last sur- vivor of the Signers of the Declaration of American Independence. It was formed from the eastern portion of Frederick and the western portion of Baltimore Counties. The soil of a large part of the county ia of singular fertility, and especially in the regions known as Pipe Creek Valley, Sam'a Creek Valley, and Bachman's Valley, is unsurpassed as to productiveness, probably by an equal area in the world. The community is essentially agricultural ; perhaps, it is more entirely an agricultural county than any other in the State. A large number of considerable fortunes have been amassed by patient industry and prudent painstaking, economy, by farmers, before the advent of railroads and the mighty rush of modern progressiveness. Indeed, every farm, particularly in each of the valleya mentioned, was occu- pied by an owner, who accumulated surely by slow processes. With the advent of the stock and bond era, came, to many of these careful men, the thirst to grow rich more rapidly. The mines of wealth lying around them were, to an extent, neglected for more shiny ores ; and it may be doubted whether, during the new era, the particularly fat and fruitful regions of the county have advanced in substantial wealth. But, as compensation, other large regions, with whose soil nature had been less prodigal of favor, have wonderfully increased in value and productiveness, by the combined agencies of labor, lime, and other fertilizers. In population it is fourth in rank, being exceeded only by Baltimore, Frederick and Washington. In the moderate, comfortable, competence of the people, it is believed to be at least equal to that of any county in the State. There is very little of overgrown wealth, and very little aching poverty. The aggregate wealth is distributed amongst the mass with remarkable comparative equality. It has not one millionaire to curse or bless it as the case might be; considerable number of its citizens
own one hundred thousand dollars in value, and perhaps a fraction more, whilst large numbers are possessed of ten, twenty to fifty or sixty thousand dollars, and large numbers yet of smaller sums, but equal stalwart indepen - dence and manliness of feeling and sentiments, with any and all their neigh- bors. Steady moderation is a peculiar characteristic of the people of the county. The juries are distinguished for giving moderate verdicts. The county authorities never subscribe for railroad stocks or bonds ; and display no taste for grand undertakings in architecture, or other of the huge arts.

The people thought they needed one railroad and they built it, substantially, with their own means, so far as they had need for it; but when others thought that it ought to be grander and bigger, and go further, the people listened but kept their hands off their own and their neighbor'a pockets, and left to the others to do their own way, in their own way. The products of the county are mainly cereal, and of the dairy. In the southern part of the county the land is adapted to tobacco, and formerly large quantities were produced, and smaller quantities are atill produced. Limestone is auper- abundant, and facilities for the improvement of the soil are all that can be reasonably expected, or desired, by men willing to work. The lands of Carroll, like those of all other counties, in all other States, have ahrunk in salable value, until that which only has any actual intrinsic value, (which is the only basis of all values,) has hardly any market price. Consequently there ia more or less opportunity for men of moderate meana, and who desire to increase them by honest labor, to come in and make homes, and raise their own corn, bacon and grapes; nature has not exhausted her beneficence, in Carroll at all events; and keeps in store, even grapes, for those who will plant and tend the vines. Every man'a palate and his children's palates may be refreshed and gladdened, if only he be willing, in earnest. The soil is of great variety, but each variety is yielding to the touch of labor, and sends out its fruits with a sort of joyful gladness, to meet that honest touch. "The surface is rolling and variegated, presenting no flat lands, or standing water, nor mountainous heights, but a succession of valleya and hills, all of which are of easy cultivation from base to summit, and yet presenting sceneries of much general beauty. The principal streams are Little and Big Pipe Creeka, Sam's Creek, Morgan'a Run, and the north and south branches of the Patapsco, each affording fine water powers, many of which are appro- priated by numerous flour milla and minor manufacturing enterprises. The north branch of the Patapsco has its rise at Westminster, and, within two miles of its head, acquires large proportiona, increasing in volume steadily until it resches Finksburg Station on the Western Md. R. R. This road runs immediately by the side of the atream from this station to its head, about 9 miles. A flouring mi.l of good capacities is very near the head of the stream; & short distance below ia a large and important tannery, conducted by Messrs. Bear ; again a flouring mill, and these are the only appropriations, thus far, of the numerous magnificent water powers with which the atresm abounds. The attention of manufacturers ought to be, and will assuredly, in time, be attracted to the peculiar advantages offered by the succession of powera, within this short distance; one amongst which is an entire immu- nity from destructive floods, growing out of the fact that the head of the stresm is too near to permit sudden large accumulations of water. In health- fulness this county is unsurpassed. There are no local causes for diseases of any kind; chills and fevers and mosquitoes are unknown. At New Windsor, a flourishing village on the W. M. R. R., surrounded by as beautiful country as earth contains, there has been carried on for several years a fine hotel and boarding house, which has been extensively resorted to during the summer months. At Westminster there are several good hotels and comfortable boarding houses, which have become resorts, to a moderate extent, for a few years past; and during the past summer the City Hotel was opened to visitors, and patronized to the full measure of its capacity, after extensive additions and improvements had been made, enabling accommodation for largely over one hundred guests. Westminster is believed to be now as agreeable a summer resort for moderate people in search of health and comfort only, as can be found anywhere. Taneytown, one of the oldest villages in the State, abounds in :health and comforts; so of Uniontown, a sweet, clean, inviting village, and so :also of Manchester, Hampstead, Union Bridge and other smaller towns, which
