OPENING FOR EMIGRATION.

The following extract we make from CORES.
pondent of the Southern PresLyfrriau. who
represents Florida offering superior induce
ments for emigration. With regard to fertility
and capacity of the soil, he states as follows:
"Next let lis look at the capacity of Florida
for producing crops for market Tie great sta
pie OF East Florida is long staple (sea sland)
cotton. In the production Of this valuable sta.
pie, its value is only beginning to be KNOWN
Facts which have been stated to me by competent
Judges, satisfy my mind that with the same care
an article of equal fineness with that raised upon
the islands, can be made in many localities i'm
Florida; whilst in staples OF midium fineness both
the quantity and profits of the islands can be
more than doubled. From S250 to $500 to tile
hand IS ty nomeans uncommon whilst some have,
In favorable seasons, nearly doubled these
amounts. doubt, whether the best cotton lands
OF the Southwest, can exceed this. Then, for
the production of sugars, q large amount of land
can be found equal 10 any in the country For
the production Of tobacco, though, at present,
cultivated to only limited extent in the Eastern
section OF the State, yet both soil and climate,
are known TO be eminently favorable. To q per
son possessing the necessary knowledge and skill
ana paying proper attention to lis culture and
preparation, an average yield of $500 per acre
can be fairly calculated on These conclusions
have not been hastily formed, but are founded on
facts, which no reasonable man can doubt. All
that is needed to mako Florida one of the most
valuable planting States 10 population adopted
TO develope the resources Of her soil Land is
cheap, easily cleared and guilty rated. ;. and abun.
dantly productive" .0..77.

GOV. WALKER.

1t is stated i" a tciegraphc dispatch from,
Washington, of the 3Ulh ult., that the best rc;.-
exist for the belief that WALKER and his
Secretary will bc recalled II ihcy do not at once
resign, for the course pursued hy the former in
the recent Kansas elections. The Adnnistra-
t"n il is said, utterly condemns WALKER for the
part he has taken i'll pnrs ing the poll of Oxford
Precinct, contrary the the specific instructions
not to interfere rs Judge in the matter. In fact
hs whole course since lie has been in the Terri
tory shows that his sympathics are with the free
s"'ers and that he has no regard for the South
or her interests. Even-handcd justice is not to
he meted out by him, and all his ucts have been
characterized by tyrany and fnvori,sm. If he
is sustained in his repeated acts of usurpation by
the President, the anathcnas Of the insrlted and
Indignant South will be hcapcd upon him.

AN ERRONEOUS IMPRESSION.

1t is presumed by some that nasmuch rs the
Bank Of Ncwberry, through her agent nt this
place, has consented to discount cotton drafts TO
the extent of 10 cts per pound that this is an cf-
fort upon the part Of that Bank to bring down
cotton TO that price. The reason that the New
berry, with other banks of the State, refuse to
advance more than ten cents, grows out of the
fluctuating condition of the cotton market. They
deem it unsafe to advance more than this be-
cause, Mt the maturity of the drafts, cotton NAV
have gone down to or cts. in which case, I'm
less either the fucor the drawer of the draft
could respond to the difference, the Banks would
suffer the loss.
The Bank. by this proposition, only says to
buyers-"we will advance ten Genus OIL Your
purchases, and whatever more you choose to
give, you must pay out of your own pockets"

SPECIE COMING.

from various sources we perceive that several
millions OF dollars i'll gold and silver have been re-
ceivcd IN this county recently from abroad. The
influx has ust commenced and The golden flow
will continue now until supplies or at least par
tial supplies, Of our necessary products have been
obtained With this vast accession of gold and
silver To our country, if the banks continue in
suspension much longer measures should be set
on foot to compel them to resume specie payment
Or give up their charters.

THE POOR OF THE NORTH.

GREELr, the famous abolition editor Of the New
York Tribune, who plies his pen so often and so
cl"1uenily against slavery and slave institutions,
says in a late number of his paper, that bv the
first or middle of December next at least one
h"mdred Momsand persons will be out of employ.
and nearly out Of means i'll that city. This is
indeed sad state of affairs, and it is truly mel.
ancholy to reflect upon what will be their proba-
BILE condition of suffering during the rgors of the
coming winter. The visitor 10 New York will
not fail to be struck, even in ordinary times at
the number of wrctched and miserable beings,
who houseless and homeless, roam the streets and
meet him at every corner asking charity. In
tie present state of affairs in that city, this army
OF gaunt and starving humanity must be fearful
iy increased aud their cainors for bread and the
necessaries Of life, add materially TO the confu
sion OF the times. Already are the city papers be-
ginning to discuss the necessity of the establish.
ment OF Soup Houses for the destitute. know
ing iu'I well that if something of the kind is not
reSorted TO, roberies and bread riots must he the
consequence
Contrast the conditinn of these people with
the well-clothed and we.fcd negroes of the
South, and who but some such fanatic as G GngE,y
himself, would say that the lot of the Inter ia
not infinitely the best. For those however. the
bowels of this mighty oricIe of the Tribune
yearns with wonderful compassion, whilst the
slualid objects Of misery and want at his own
door excites no commiscration.
