Emigration.

We are aware that this is a haekneyed
subject, and one which is generally re-
garded as exhausted. That may be true :;
but we are reminded of the necessity and
results of systematic and we'll directed
efforts in this matter, by receiving let
ter from Delaware, Ohio, sayiag that
about one hundred and fifty families will
leave this vicinity, on thesl2th Of April,
for Yankton; d. C.. This letter comes
from party who knows very little sboat
Dakotah Territory has no Interest
there, and has interests in various por-
tions of this Territory. :. 49,. - =.
| In addition to this. we learn that there
will be a heavy emigration this year from
Syracuse, \. u, TO the Valley OF the
James River, and the Bon Hoinme
Island and neighborhood. This is all
accomplished by the efforts of an organis
zation that sends out agents with maps
of the country, statements with regard
to the character of the soil, climate,
amount of vacant land, and the general
facilities for new settlements. We know
something @of the facts in this case; and
the fruits are seen in an influx of some
eight hundred or one thousand popdFa-
tioET at one time. a,@~-.s q. 50.
We assume that there will be heavier
emigration to the West during this AMI
next year than has been during The same
period for the last twenty years. In
formation of the right kind is, therefore,
more important now than ever before.
The spirit is aroused in the East, and We
are informed that inn some locafitiesythe
country will be almost depopulafed.
Many causes conspire to produce this re-,
suit, not necessary to. enumerate here
bat one thiugi certain, that pr ople will
settle where the greatest Inducements
are offered. These inducements, too,
must be properly set set forth and pub
lished There is no great
value in having good country or good
point if nobody knows It. 4 We submit
if we have not been siumberfng on our
Misunderstanding too much for gfsnta
ed. The ianoraneea irf the East in regard
to the Territories is astonishing. A late
number of Harper's Weekly, showing
the mouth Of the Platte River, in the
middle of Kansas, is asgood illustration
of this fact. If the editors of that sheet
know so little Of river of so much i'm
