EMIGRATION WEsrwARD.-The Troy (Tenn.) Adrer-
tser of the lst says From private letter receiy-
ed from a friend at Mitchell's Point one Of the
crossings the Mississippi river, we learn that the
emigration from this State to Missouri and Arkan-
sas the past six months has been very great, espe-
cially do we think so. when we make an estimate OF
the many that have passed through this place en-
route for the aforesaid country. To say that three
hundred wagons loaded with emigrants, have pass
ed through this place on their way rejoicing. IN
the last five months, would be too great an cs
mate. Our friend has kept an accurate record Of
all the crossing at his Ferry January, last up
to the present time, which foots up as follows
Wagons l3s; Horses, 2s5 Cattle and Hogs, $40 I;
Buggies, %. He also remarks that the number Of
persons, big, LITTLE old and young male and female
swell to the enormous amount Of 1854, an average
of over ten person to a wagon. Two wagons had
seven families, and the number of persons along
were thirty-ive.'
