IL was assumed by many of the opponents of annexation, that the measure would give emigration q more Southward direction, and would therefore tend to cheapen Arkansas lands But we think we showed, in our last number, that emigration, like water will in due time find its own proper level And that as carollary, Texas must principally be settled with cotton planters from the wealthy States At the same time 1t must be admit ted, that the principal part of Arkansas Is better adapted to the growth of grain, and the raising of stock than to any other employ ment. The abundant circulation of money. which followed the early emigration of the Indians, and the establishment of the kite system of Banking, had a tendency to pro- duce idle habits, and a distaste for selling productions, unless al very high price The consequence wa, that farmers rather dilapidated than improved. We are recover ing, however, from this false step; and our recovery when attained, will be substantial. It has often been rejected by the people of Arkansas, that there was little encouragement 10 labor for want of market. And because no great city has sprung up in our midst to

 

 of the farmers, many have seemed to con conclude that they are to look no farther for market The recent more liberal course adopted by the commdnders on our frontier ot purchasing their supplies from the sur rounding country, rather than importing it from distance, is calculated, in some de- gree, to overcome this objection. But this Is only partial and very partial market hose who have relied on 1t, will find them- selves as widely mistaken, as those who sup- pose that the erection of manufacturinq establishment or two, would consume all the surplus products in the country We should rely upon ho ephemeral theories or avenues; but we should at once look to the outlets. which nature has opened to us, and prepare ourselves permanently to thrive by them.

 It Is an old trujsm, that Sno people are so far from market as those who have notbiug to sell,o A more valuable commentary on this Is no where to be found, than in the fact that the people of Arkansas see thousands of horses pass through their State every year. which are profitably sold in the planting dis trlcts of Louisiana, while very few diminu- tive animals are sent abroad by our own cit lzens. More than three thousand Missouri horses and mules have crossed the Arkansas rlyer within the last year, at our own town. These have principally been sold ill Louisiana. When we consider that Texas has five times as much sugar and cotton lands as Louisiana, its easy to see that the greatly increased de-! mand for such animals will render the stock raising business, in Arkansas, exceedingly profitable.

 A great many of the planters now scat tered through the Carolinas, Georgia, Mis- sisslppl and Alabama, will presently be con centrated, in the rich districts of Texas Kentucky and Tennessee have heretofore supplied these old States with stock-and
