Going md Coming.

Seeing this week quite crowd of citizens
moving III wagons to Texas from this cOun
ty, we are reminded that many more are
moving into the State than going away.
Exchanges all over the State give a most
encouraging report of the immigration
schemes afiOat among Northern and West
ern people. The Nashville Banner saws:
Within the past few weeks, over 50 fam
lies from New York and other Northern
States, have loceted in Dickson county, and
large number of others are expected be-
fore spring T. c. Aukeny, late editor of
of the Black River Falls Wis Independent
has arrived with his family at Waverly, as
also quite number of other families, the
first installment of the Wisconsin colony.
c. II. Dix, Secretary of a New jersey
colony, is in the State selecting a locality
for his colony. There are large number
of families embraced in it.
Some or 10 families have lately settled
in Summertown, Lawrence county, and
about 80 more are OH the way and arrang-
ing for a start to that locality.
A sale Of several thousand acres of land,
including Il cotton mill, in jefferson county,
has recently been made to Z Pennsylvania
party, who will take immediate possession.
The property sold for S98,OOO. Settlers are
coming into other sections Of the State, and
the outlook for 4 large immigration is very
encouraging.
The Nashville American says: Mr.. league,
OF indianapolis, prospecting for an Indiaua
colony, returned from a trip on the Nash
vile, Chattanooga & St, Louis railroad, and
expresses himself As very much pleased with
the country. Mr.. league will soon return
to Indianapolis and bring down large col
ony. lie says he can influence 1000 per
sons to emigrate to Tennessee within the next
few months. He reports the country in the
vicinity from which he comes AZ aroused on
this subject through pamphlets distributed
by Commissioner KilIcbrew, and that 4 tide
emigration will soon set in from Indiana
Mississippi is also moving in this direc-
ton. The Holly Springs Reporter says:
Through the Holly Springs colonization
agency, about $50 immigrants arrived in the
city last week from Indiana: They have
evidently come to stay, as they brought with
them several car loads of furniture, farming
implements, horses, etc. As a whole they
appear intelligent, robust energetic, and will
no doubt be valuable acquisition to our
people. Most of them have secured temp o
rary homes and Will by spring, be Perman-
emily located. From an article in this day
issue, it will be seen that Pamela county is
also receiving valuable acceasiOns to her
population. 1t Is 10 be hoped that We have
reached the bottom, and that from this time
forward, our material interests are to be on
wards and upwards
Moreover, Mr.. J. {. Clarke, the General
Manager OF the line OF railroad leading
from New Orleans to Chicago, says The tide
OF immigration from the West to the South
is setting in real earnest. He thinks
thousands will seek homes here during the
coming year.
VIII not our large land owners combine
to offer inducements in the way OF lands at
low prices to immigrants? We can induce
many thrifty settlers to come into our
midst, if the proper efforts are made.
