while the cotton growers have been eXhaus- ting their rich lands, the stock raisers have been improving theirs. And now that the demand for domestic animals has greatly de creased in the old States, and the transfer ot their population, to a point beyond the con- yenience of the kentuckians and Tennessee ans. the latter find still greater profits in oth CT avenues of industry. The increased and increasing facilities of navigation, and the uprising of the mammonth city of New Dr. leans (which was also opposed by those ot narrow policy) brings ready market for hemp, flour, pork, lard, stearme, fruits and the hundred other productlons, the profits ot which, have recently been developed. But new countries cannot at once enter into the productions which require great care and skill. They can raise stock, however, cheap CT than older ones-and no other means Of transportation is more desirable than driving them With a certainty then of certain demand for stock, the industrious farmers of Northern Arkansas, instead oi experiencing disadvantage may calculate upon increased facilities from the annexation of Texas.

They will bring their families with them, and introduce into their new homes the arts of Italy, the cultivation of the vine and the olive, the manufacture of wine and of oil, aud, If found sufficiently profitable, the raising of the sIlkworm and the manufacture of silk. The scheme IS not yet matured, and the arrangements are not reduced to detail. But several gentlemen oi energy and character are concerned ln Ii, and 1t will doubtless succeed.

 One of the most distinguished statesmen in our country, says the Union, predicted in March last, that, if Texas were annexed to the United States, there would be at least 60,000 emigrants to that country III the course of the first year We cid not think his estimate exlravagant al the time but since we have become better acquainted with her resources, and every day will develope them more and more, and have learned the spirit of emigration which is animating the bordering States, and have heard of the num- Der of emigrants who are stated to be flock ing to her fields from different points of the Eastern continent-from Germany, France, England, and even Italy itself-we are more confirmed in the accuracy of the prediction.
