Commenting upon the movement already in Globe makes Tho following remarks to Are not to suppose because there is an exodus to Tho North West that therefore the new lands in the older provinces Are being deserted and no More of them taken up. This is very far from being Tho Case.

Thero is always an in mouse attraction for the floating population of a country in the tidings of new Noil diggings having Boon struck but though to to sure some men make fortunate strikes Luck Doe not Reward the efforts of even a Largo minority and the Man who trades or grows wheat for the Supply of Tho miners is far surer in the Long run to attain a position of wealth and influence than those who mine.
