The Savannah Daily Herald. MOIDiV, OCTOBEH !>■. I -»'• i DUTCH COEO.M IW MICHIUA*. Ten Year.’ Experience of a ( ompanjr of Americanised (Dutchmen. Tbcrc if iff Michigan n prosperous Dutch colony. where farms are cultivated with the thrift ot the Netherlands, w here the people worship iD Dutch and educate their children in English, and where, as with the Quakers, the young folks dress in gay co-ors aud fashionable styles, while the elders adhere to a severe simplicity. The picture is peculiarly interesting, giving as it does nu idea of what son of citizeus the emigrants front old Europe soon confidently expected in our miust, are goii gto make. An eutcuui .ng account of this people and their manuris and customs is giveD by a writer in a w-n >.rn journal IVe copy a tew passages : THE SETTLEMENT. The settlement commenced in 1846, under the direction of Rev. A. C Van Raalte, who, with several hundred people front the Neth erlands, arrived that year; others followed f r several subsequent 3’ears. The present popu lation of what may be considered the colony, embracing the original settlers aud their posterity born here, is estimated at eight or ten thousand. They constitute nearly all the inhabitants of Holland, Zeeland, and Olive townships in Ottawa county, and Overisel asd Fillmore in Allegan eouuty ; while in Jamestown, adjoining Zeeland, on the east, and in Grand Haven and vicinity, there is a iarge infusion of Dutch population. I was curious to see how these people had eucceeded in farming in a country so different, in many respects, from their fatherland. I was a little surprised to learn that few of the immigrants, compaiaiive y, were farmers in Holland. I understand they were priuci pal y day-laborers—some on land, and others in various manufacturing establishments.— This class was generally poor. Among the colonists there were, however, men of intel ligence attd pecuniary means, though few of wealth. VVhat was the educational standard of the immigrants, lam not particularly in formed, though I think nearly ail could read and write in their native tongue. MAKING THE WILDERNESS BLOSSOM. The land was to a considerable extent ‘ pre-empted,” and I am not aware that any r t it cost the settlers more than the govern ment price—sl 2q per acre. Clearings were immediately commenced; but with every thing to learn in regard to the business most of the settlers being entirely unaccus tomed to the use of that important implement to the American forest pioneer, the hxe—it may well be supposed that progress was at first very slow, and the labor severe. But ihe steady, unfaltering patience and persist ence which has made a productive and pros perous country from the dominion of the sea. was evinced in the wilds ot Michigan, and at length overcame all obstacles. THE FARMS. The farms of the Dutch settlers are mostly Email—a large proportion of them not even eighty acres in extent, while few, if any, ex ceed a hundred and sixty, and many are only of forty acres. The limited means of pur chasers confined them to these small hold ings. In fact, provision was made for still smaller ownership in the soil. In the neigh borhood of the village of Holland, lots con sisting of six acres each were laid out, and I was informed 'that by the aid of certain benevolent persons, the occupants of these lots were euabled to secure a full title to them by such terms of payment as they could make, when they were unable to pay in advance. The result of this system is that every person may become a freeholder. I made some inquiries in regard to the extent to which the small lots were capable of supporting their occupauts, the answers to which are Worthy of note. It was stated that* the women and children performed the greater part of the work on the six acre lot, leaving the nteu to work for wages nearly all the time; that in many cases every foot of the little farm was made to yield bountifully of something that would either aid in the support of the tamily or bring money. Several men (Dutchmen) have expressed the opinion, confidently, that forty acres of land could be made to support a family aud yield an annual surplus. 1 was pointed to one example, of a man who came hf-re with barely the means of purchasing ten acres, leavtug bis family in Holland till he Could earn enough to pay their pa sage. Iu two years he* did this, the number ot chil dren being ten, all ot whom have been brought up from the avails of ten acres, the owner of which, after ten y, urs labor, con siders himself iu confortaole cir- uuistnncea, with means at hand tor putting up new buildings and increasing the number of bis acres. Ot course these results can only be accomplished by the most rigid economy ol living, such as ten* American families would or could practice IMPLEMENTS. The cultivation pursued by these people is generally equal to that oi the American set tlors in the neighborhood, though it may be carried on with a somewhat larger expendi ture of hand labor instead of machinery.— But the immigrant is by no means blind to his interest in this respect, and I visited farms where, though the owners had scarce ly learned to make themselves understood in English, the mowing machine, wheel borse rake, horse-pilch-fork and graiu-drill were used—the crops and stock being all well sheltered in capacious aud convenient barns. EDUCATION AND WORSHIP. lhe district school-house—tbe “peculiar institution” of the iree North”—is not for gotten, but wherever three or four families are planted, there you find tbe buildings— sometimes, to be sure, small and rude—in which tbe future sovereigns ol the country may • ake their most useful and important lessons. Ah public instruction is given in the Euglish language, so that with this and other influences in constant operation, tbe population is becoming rapidly American ized. No opposition appears to be made to this with any class, while tbe ambition of the young of both sexes evidently tends strongly to the adoption ol the dress, manners and habits of our native citizens. I particular ly noticed this teudency in the people as sembled for religious worship at Holland. It was visible at the church where services were conducted wholly in tue Dutch lan guage, und strikingly so in one where the English language only was used, although Ihe congregation was largely Dutch. CHARACTEE OF THE PEOPLE. Everything 1 saw indicated that the peo pie are uselul citizens of our State, and that as bearing on the important question of im migration, the colony preseuts an example deserving attention. The value of such a pop ulation, in reference to the settlement and cultivation of our vast unoccupied territory must bs admitted ; aDd that the iuterest o’t tbe state would be promoted by the adoptiou of measures resulting in similar accessions cannot be doubted. Quick Wore.— The advertisement of tbe Georgia Petroleum Company was inserted in the Constitutionalist yesterday morning, and we learn that before 11 o'clock, a m’, the number of shares set apart to be Bold in*Au. gust was subscribed lor, and applications made for over three hundred more. This is a gratifying evidence of the enterprise still existing here, and also of the iaith which keen business men have in tbe success of the company. —Aujusta Constitutionallist. Atlanta has been equally as expeditious ou the Petroleum question.
