The Montgomery lAla.) journal
Of the 4th inst, states that the edi-
tor Of that paper has recently had
an interview with Gen. Il. GILMORE,
one of the Judges of the territory
of Kansas, who il on brief visit to
his friends In Alabama. The Jour
nal says he speaks in enthusiasts
terms of the country, and thinks, if
ordinary interest is taken in the mat
ter by the Southern people, it will
be a slave State. The Journal says:
The soil and climate, though not
the best adapted for cotton, is ex-
ceedinsly fertile, and admirably suit
ed for tobacco and hemp, Yielding
abundantly large crops. The last
staple. especially, has proved very
valuable, netting an average Of about
5000 to the hand. The estimates
of yields by experienced men, who
have tested It. is about 1000 pounds
Of clean hemp to the acre, worth
about $50; each hand can tend 10
or 90 acres, and secure the crop
These data may be relied on, and
furnish very aattering prospect Of
the value of the country to the slave
holding interest. 1t is well ascer-
tanned that the profits Of labor in
this crop far exceed the profits on
cotton, and it WOULD be great ad.
vantage to those who are emigrating
to the fresh lands of the west, to
seek this country rather thap Texas
or Arkansas. fla portion Of the
tide of emigration now proceeding
West from the Carolinas, Georgia
&c, could be diverted in this direc.
ton, it would at once settle the
question Of it's Institutions beyond
contingency, and the interests and
prosperity of the smigrants be great
ly enhanced. This is matter high
~ worthy attention and examina
ton by those who desire to seek I
home in the West. We learn from
Judge Gilmore that the climate il
healthy and pleasant, and the Soils
fertile, producing freely everything
desirable for plantation use. Many
emigrants from the South are avail
ing themselves Of its unexampled ia
cilities. The emigration from The
free States is falling of, and many
are returning to the North and
Northwest.
This is quite an encouraging &C
count Of the soil and climate of th'
new territory. An additional in
ducement for Southern emigraticl
thither is the fact that a TennesseeaI
has already been elected to Congress
and he will use every exertion t.
protect the rights of that class o
emigfants. zoe
