We have time and again called the attention of our readers to the impor tance to the South of foreign immigra tion at the present time. Iu a late num ber of the Charleston Evening News, wo find the following suggestions contained in a letter written by Mr. T. W. Claus »en of that city to Mr. John A. Wagner. They apply a> well to Augusta, and to other Southern cities as to Charleston ; hence we endorse them fully and com mend them to the careful consideration of our people. Our South Commons would furnish ample room for the erection of smal] houses wh’ch could be rented at low rates to the immigrants; and the Im migration Company now being organized could make all the necessary arrange ments to otherwise provide lor their com fort and convenience. The News says : “Tho communication merits more than a passing notice, inasmuch as the subject dis cussed—tho feasibility ot' carrying out tho emigration scheme—is ono of vast impor tance, not only to tho interests of our city and State, but totbo entire Southern country. “Mr. Claussen proposes, first, that wo should have a Commissioner in New York, to ex plain to the emigrants who arrive at that point the great advantages to he derived from coming hither to settle. Secondly, that'arrangements should be entered into with the different lines of steamers to trans port them hither on reasonable terms. Next, that suitable provisions should be made to provide the emigrants arriving here with cheap boarding houses, under the control of some Commissioner. Fourthly, that there should he some reliable person appointed here to give them ail necessary information. Am) lastly, that wo should endeavor to make some provision for the establishment of cheap homos for their families. ‘•Air. Claussen estimates the cost of trans portation from New York to this city at about ten dollars per head, and contends that, inasmuch as each emigrant would be ! probably worth, at least, two or three thou- j saud dollars to the State, that it is clear ! that, if out of every ten that arrived here but uue remains permanently, the oily and j State will still be the gainer to a vast extent, j “in consideration of the crowded condition \ of our city, caused by the scurcity of houses, | the writer proposes that its limits should be extended—a park built in the upper portion, j so as to enhauee the value of property and encourage building—and that blocks should be laid out systematically, as they are in j New Y'ork, on which small houses can Vie I put up, containing from two to fqur rooms | each, to rent on reasonable terms. ‘•With the city thus improved, and with ! horse railways runuiug through Meeting | ctreetto l,iue, via Rutledge, we may reasoua- | bly hope nor only to offer advantages to i emigrants, but to see our city arise from its | ashe's, and flourish to a greater extent than | even 'n the palmiest days oi her prosperity i before the war. We approve of the sugges- j tion offered in this letter, anil hope that the I matter will not rest here; bat that the plan j which promises so much will be taken in j hand, and pushed through with such energy j as is commensurate with its great impor- j tin re to the genet a! welfare of our city and State.” .While on this subject, we invite at- j tention to the following extract from a ! communication in the Rome, Georgia, | Southerner. The writer suggests a plan j to make immigration profitable and at- j tractive. . We quote as follows : “Every one must know that no white ! man is going to work as a negro on a largo j estate, to rise at the sound of the horn and return when the dews are heavy. Not. they. How then are they to be made so useful and profitable? By the division of the estates, by a system of tenantry. “In this aspect there opens to the South a grand vista of future power and wealth. To embody this idea pra-tically : Suppose that A owns an estate of 4,Orth acres in Floyd county —of that quantity of land only 1,000 acres is under cultivation—the rest in primi. five growth. He cannot now, with negro labor, cultivate over three or four hundred acres. Taxes have to be paid on the balance —it is dead capiial—and there is no one to buy, because there is no labor to cultivate; therefore, real estate must deprec ate every year- But suppose that A invites, from abroad, eleven families ? “The estate is divided into 25 lots, of 160 acres oacb. A receives for his own used lots. On alternate lots he places only one fami ly, leaving teu uncultivated—surrounded by eleven cultivated. A, now being relieved f om the owner’s contest with the Freedman's Bureau, has time to devote his energies to his own grounds, and to the eleven farms, on each one of which he sees that a proper and judicious system of cultivation is car ried on. “He asks rent, say three dollars an acre, after the second year, and what is his in come ? $5,280 perfectly clear, besides the products of bis own four lots. Instead of his estate decreasing iu value, every year the ten uncultivated lots rise in price, be cause they are cultivated between sung, well tilled farms. At the end of ten years he findß his wooded estate forty times the value that it is now, and he setting at his ease, drawing in an ineome of five thousand dollars a year.” These are suggestions worthy of seri ous consideration ; and those who need labor would do well to give them that attention which they deserve. We may revert to the subject again. [advertisement.] AoetJSTA, 15th March, 1866. 3fr.
