EMIGRATION,

The rage for emigration which, a few
years since, threatened almost to depopu-
late the old North State, has become, in
some measure, stayed. We have even
heard of several families removing back
TO their old haunts, having been taught
By experience. that "all is not gold that
glisiens." The following extract of a
letter, just received By US from an enter
pricing and practical man who emigrated
some years since TO the west. bears tesli-
mony, as strong as it is just, to the capa-
cities Of our state, and its adaptation to
the wants Of her citizens. Register.
al can now say from Two years ex-
perience in the North, and seven years
in the West, that North Carolina is as
rich in materials for permanent improve
men,, as any Of The fourteen states that |
have travelled through. And if the land
holders there really understood what was
best for their interests, they would be
turning their attention 10 the ways and
means of improving their homes,eads,
instead of disposing of them for a compa-
rativc tribe. with view to acquisition Of
new lands to the great West. II they
could only see, that the future Vineyards
and Mulberry Plantations, on the sunny
hills and verdant plains of the South,
would. one day, not be exchanged Tor the
rich woodlands and prairies of The West,
they would soon cease disposing of the
former, for the acquisition of The latter.
Certain it is, after all my wanderings. l
decidedly prefer North Carolina to any
state have seen; for while other states
have the advantages in soil and other cir.
cumstances, you have it in climate and
the privileges of water power-advan1a-
ges which art can never bring about,
where they are naturally lacking-where-
| as, the improvement. of the soil. and eve
~ other circumstance dependent thereon,
can be effected with you by little extra
care and attention. Before two years
