The Star of EmDire.

The Texas Civilian says that every steam ship arriving at Galveston from New Orleans, is crowded with emigrants, including many slaves and adds:
 The statistics of the State, as compiled by the State Gazette, show that we are entitled to five, instead of two representatives in Congress. By 1860 we shall be entitled to seven under the present apportionmcnt basis but under a re- 3uced ratio, we shall probably only get six With that number we may be heard in the halls of Congress mole successfully than we have generally been.''
 The State of Arkansas, too, has received proportonae share of the immense emigration westward for the last four wears. and we have no hesitancy in declaring that her prospects will now bear favorable comparison with the most promising State in the Union. Though Texas, with her immense domain, enhanced by all that Is useful and beautiful by nature, has received an almost unexampl.d influx of population of late, the State of Arkansas has kept simul- taneous march along with her, and continues grow with her growth'' in the progress of inn pavement This rapid increase of population, superinduced by the practical workings of our present sound State policy, induces us to be- lieve that by the time the year 1860 shall usher itself upon us we will be entitled to four in- stead of two representatives in the popular branch of Congress. During the ten years ending with the year 1850, the population of this State more than doubled itself in numbers, and it is an indisputable fact that in the suc- ceedng ten years it will increase much greater ratio. We are fast approaching an equality with many of the older States and this fact will tend to draw emigrants hther.-
