Emigration South.

The tide Of emigration does not alrays
flow directly toward sunset, nor the star of
Empire always wend its way. The follow
ing paragraph from west Tennessee pa
per, the Wing Standard, indicates that Tex
as will rival Kansas in the rapidity of her
settlement.
Ho, FOR Texas! Emigration to Texas
this fall seems greatly on the increase. Mr..
Watt Moore and Mr.. - of this county,
with their families and all their movable
effects, set out last week. We learn that
the number Of persons going with them all
counted, whites and slaves, was over one
hundred. During the same week train of
seven or eight large road wagons, heavily
loaded, passed through this place for the
Lone Star State. They we're families from
W'akley and Henry counties, an the
Southern part OF Kentucky-they had quite
a large number Of slaves with them-they
will ''do to take along" The Texas fever
is up. We hear nearly every day o! per-
sons contemplating removing TO Texas
She will soon fill her destiny, we think /;
which is 10 be the second greatest State in
the American conlederacy-C California being
the first. We are informed that so large is
the number Of emigrants crossing at Mem
phis this season, that there is much delay
in getting over in the steam ferry boat at
that place. As they leave, others fill their
places-and thus we go in the race Of life.

flight"
