The young ami adventurous have sought homes in the south-west, where rich lands are cheap, and the road to wealth and distinction open to all. This has sapped the vitals of <l.? ..1.1? O. -i? - i - ...v v-inKi UIIIIU9. ami prevomcu inair greater increase in wealth and population. The cause of this yearly oxodus of wealth and population has been variously attributed.? It possibly grpw3 out of tho inexpertness' want of energy, and ill-success that attends and has characterized a truly plodding age. There has been no master spirit at the wheel of improvement, opening up and developing the resources of a country naturally great,? Capital is kept in the clutched hands of the lew, when the energotic and wise would have safely invested it in railroads nnd .innnufacta rex. With these, and many otSerH^ue nnd striking facta before i<>, the same suicidal course is persisted in. / nd just ns certainly will the wealth and po il lation of the conn* try continue to leave it. The remedy is with those in o\ir midst, and we truly wish wo hail ut hand the moving power, wherewith to work out for our good old State the destiny which intelligence, virtue, industry, and energy have in store for her citizens. T!:i3 year the emigration is Inrgor Hum usunl. Many citizens, "good men nml true,'' are on the eve of-evering the ties that bind them to homo, jountry and kindred. Wo trust their brightest anticipations may be realized in the " far Wost," and, although wo would have preferred that they had remained under the folds of tlie grateful Palmetto, wo bid them God-speed to their now homes! Products of the United States. A roasonahlo estimate 'has been made of the productions of the United .States, inclu ding gold, for one year. They amount to tho round sum ot sevontoen .iiindred million* of dollars, or nearly sixty dollars for each inhabitant of the whole country. To this must 1)0 addod the value of our mamifuctaron, mechanical arning*, value of bank and othor Ktocks, money, nnd-so-forth.

The premium ii.^t (which has been received) in :i long one, ami embraces a grenjt variety I of article?1, ranging from " samples of fiehl j crops" to " miscellaneous fancy." The annual address is to bo ilelivoretl by ! IIon.J< 9Eru A. Wo arj>, of Fairfield, on Wednesday tlie 711* November. Wo think tlie premium list should have a wider circulation than it lias over yet received ; and. to iusuro thin, a reasonable con- I tract might bo made with tlio press of the i .Stnto to lay it before the public.

MoneyThe oil itors of iiiu Hurl well Ht.&*cngcr and the Athens Watchman are " pitching into" j each other not very fraternally on the subject i of the relative value of South Carolina and ! i Georgia money?bunk bills. As to their opin- I , ion of each other wo have not a word to sny?it is n, personal matter, and might very well have been left out of tho discussion. The Watchman complained because the peoplo of this Stale re- 1 fused to receive other than the bills of the 8a..........i. ?i ? - ? ? ? , innt /lugunm DHI1K8, nnu llic Mrtsengcr ' retorted by denominating tho other banks as I wildcats." This, in some respects, is unjust. For," instance, the l$nnk of Athens should not be included in the category. It is a good and solvent institution. The Watchman is not. liberal in its nsscrtion that our State should be avoided, because our citizens rcfuso to tako the small bills of the banks of his State. If nn i excuse were needed, we could point to the law of this State, making it nn indictable offence to piss bills of a less denomination than five dollars of any bank without hei limits. Notwithstanding this, however, (he small bitls of the Augusta, Savannah and Athens banks aro current with us, and arc only refused by nn "old fofy " now and then, overly nico or sensitively conscientious. This should satisfy our Athens neighbor, and we suggest that he withdraw his I cdict of ox'commimicntion, o' "roundance" through 't'lurksvillc, Franklin," N. C., tic. Especially, ought he to do this in the summer season?-that region in then too "snaky," nnd it would devolve upon the traveller the necessity of preparing himself with a supplyof ' hobenj sack," or other remedies for the jtizen aforesaid ! | Further, there are wild cat" banks in Geor| gia, and we refer the Watchman to the Augusta j Chronicle &. Sentinel for their number and charI acter. Whftlover may be the condition of our bunks, their bills are always in demand, and it i is perfectly optionary with those outside her | borders whether they receive them or not. Wo do not insist on it, although \vc have every di> position to keep on terms of poacc and amity i with our neighbors. We would not nrivi^n citizcn* to receive, us current money, bills of any other than the Georgia bunks we have named. As we have be; tro remarked, it is illegal to pass tliem, and, it might bo well to refuse I them altogether, until the hiw in relation thereto l is repealed.

J. I). A?hmore was also in our town, and attended the muster of the Regiment near this place. The Colonel is in good health, and we doubt not, is fully prepared to meet u!l tho responsibilities, and all the labors awaiting him at Washington next winter. The Colonel was onllml rm in ,iw?Tr? speceh on Tuesday after muster. The speccli was short and patriotic. lie did not commit himself in any way?thought i it premature, and perhaps arrogant in him to give any opinion, or express his scnti-, mcnts oil the political sentiments of the day. When lie hud arrived at Washington and informed himself of the state of affairs, then he would be able, and not he- i < fore, to form his opinions and take his poi sition.
