Emigration From state 10 State.
Accordingly 10 the eturns Of the last Uni

there are more nativesof the Southern States
residing in the North in proportion 90 Southern

3Na2 persons who were S0ut Akners by birth;
whereas in Mississippi there are bat 2,566 ma
tivcs Of che NvrtherIi States. The sfnallness
w the number of New kllelansiers IN the Soosa
is quite remarkable; and wc tlasnk that tho

For example, there are ztI natives of Virgin
in residing in Maine, and only 9s natives Of
Maine in Virginia The whole nnmbcr OF mar
tivcs Of New England residing in Mississippi
is l25. while there are 1923 natives Of MisSis-

few facts will further show that southern

another In theif own section, OF the iRtabiA
tsnts Of Virginia, ie,eeo wete natives OF North
Carolina: as many of Alabama; Is, 900 Of Ten
nessee, and $4,000 of Kentucky. To North
Carolina, there came 81 900 fr IN Georgia, 2S,~
600 from Alabama, 10000 from Tennessee,
and $4,000 from Kentucky. As general
law. the emigration flows westward frnm State
to State, OF the parallels OF latittr4e. FT cx-
ample. emigrants from New England find their
new kcmcs in New York, Ohio, Michigan,
Wisconsis, Illinois and Iowa, while the GeOr.
gian seeks an adopted home in Alabama, Mis-
sissppi, Louisiana, or Texas; and yet we find
many exceptions TO this law. IL was, perhaps,
owing, in part, to this general tendency OF en-
igrati0n in this country that it flowed rather
more naturally into Kansas from the free than
from the slave States.
Emigration has flowed very rapidly from
the seaboaf,l Slave States to the Western and
Southern-western. Two OF three facts will
Indicate the vast extent Of it. From South
Carolina alone iS6, ,479 native white CarottRi>
ans have been distributed through the West
and Southwest The population Of Texas in
1850 was but 0,64l; now it is about 100000,
and mainly the result of emigration from States
to the eastward Of il. Foreigners, particularly
Germans, have sritlcSl Rlore in Texas than pcy-
haps in any other Southern State, Germans be-
gan 10 settle In Texas as early as l54S, being
invited there by Texas land srccHlatcrs. In
l845, 1000 families, embracing $500 Ger
mans. had been induced to cross the sea, to en-
ter State that WAS that year annexed to the
United States, an event which was followed
by the late war with Mexico. Within a few
years there has been considerable emigration
from the free States to Virginia, Kentucky,
Missouri and other Slaves States, with view
of introducing free labor for agricultural and
other purposes. Thus, Slave labor, has grad
ualy pressed further South. Such processes
may have something to do in promoting gen-
eral system of emancipation in the Northern
Slave States.
FEARFUL ToRSADo N MARYLAND.-A Cor
respondent Of the Rel 4Egis, writes frum Lo-
Gust Grove. Hartford county, Ma, under date
of August 10th as follows:
"On Tuesday evening last our vicinity was
visited by Tornado of a fearful character
During the afternoon, dark clouds were seen
gathering, and about seven o'clock il commenc-
ed raining. The clouds grew heavier the thun-
der increased, and the lightning spread, until
the heavens seemed in blaze. About half
past eight, a powerful wind arose and swept

chard being almost entirely destroyed, aI.d
about forty good fruit trees blown mp. Hi,

windows being blown out of the house. Chin

was very beautifully shaded, is now quite laid
waste. Large limbs Of trees, fence-rails, &c.
on his place, were carried from thirty TO fifty
yards. His loss is estimated at about FIVE hun

torrents until the water rose TO a fearful cx
tent So far as we have heard, the foot
