EMIGRATION TO NORTHWESTERN VrR.
GINIA.--Last week two or three fami-
lies of Swedes arrived ut Weston, Lew

western Virginia their permanent home.
The Weston Herald, in noticing the
movement, says of Northwestern Viz
ginia:
Gin no section Of the country are
there greater inducements held out to
emigration than in our own, and it is
almost marvellous that its tide should
have flowed past us so long, leaving a
country whose mildness and salubrity
of climate are unsurpassed, and the ma,
tural quality of whose soil is rich and
admirably adapted to farming and gra.
zlng purposes, for the uncertain and
slckly climate Of the West. TO those
DESTROYS of purchasing land and secur.
ing the comforts of home at moder-
ate cost, and laying the foundation OF
permanent fortunes, we would say

GOING HOME.

We noticed a day or two since that
the packets for Europe carry out full
loads of passengers-natives of great
Britain and the Continent-migrating
homewards to escape the hard times
here. This step may seem preferable
to them now, but in few months there
must be many thousands of laborcrs
thrown out Of employ in the old coun-
tries, in view Of the sudden stpppage Of
the American trade. Many of these
home returning cmigrants carry with
them considerable means, the result of
years Of toll and economy. A letter
from Newburyport says that quite a
number of the Irish population Of that
section are now returning to Ireland
with the money they have saved

INDIA. India is a country that has
never belonged to its natives. Two
thousand years ago Alexander and lis
Greeks led dusky caprives in golden
letters from there to Athens. After him
it became the prize Of Parthian bows
and Scythian spears. Then came Mo.
banned and his Persians from Ghuznee
to teach by scimeter the new theology,
"Allah il Allah, and Mohammed is his
Prophet Then the Afghans drove
out the Persians. The Tartars drove
out this Afghans. Then came Tinour,
the terrible Tartar, and the long and
princely line of Great Moguls, Baber,
and Akbar, Jehangire and Aurenzebe.
The Mogul Empire got, like the Brit
ish, too big to hold together. Down
went the throne at Delhi, and up sprang
crop of Viceroys, Nizams, Kings,
Shahs, Rajabs, Newabs, and Nabobs
ell over the provinces. About this
time II. b. Nj. East India Company
came TO trade, and stayed to rule. -
BY cajoliug one prince, threatening an
other invading third, and "pro,ccting''
a fourth, they got the whole concern
into tho hands Of John Bull and the
lion aud tho unicorn. If tho Sepoys
succeed In securing native Hind0o
dynasty now, il will be The first they
ever had. Albany Joanal, Octobc, nj.

Fruits are known TO be cooling and health

form is slower in consequence OF the density
