Cije iiailu s r£ss - City Printer —Official Paper LARGEST firt CIRCULATION A. UU ÜBTA. OA. TUESDAY MORNING _M»j 11, 1867 IMMIORATIOIT. It is tiniest to talk about immigration flowing to th* South while the “ ever lasting nigger” it here. A white laborer it not going to work by the tide of Cuffie. The foreigner who conies to this conntry deiuande (rood wages. In the western Country, they gel from 75 c*uistuslper day; aud in harvest time, frequently SI 26 per day. They have to have their sourVrout and other edibles, to which they have been accus tomed ; while » negro can live on bread and meal once a day, and work for nothin#. comparatively.— GnjKn Star. The kind of immigration needed, and all the kind that is desirable, so 'far as farm labor it concerned, is the class who are able to buy or tense farms. We agree with our Griffin cotempo rary, that the wages, as well as fare, which hare been allowed for field labor* do not suit the German people, or white people from any part of Europe; but we believe there it no part of America where the life of the small farmer can be made more pleasant or profitable thau ia the South. He can raise two or three crops a year on every acre, and the railroads and steam boats enable him to land his products iu the principle markets several weeks in advance of the farmers of the North and West. He can raise the products of the temperate zone, and nearly all the tropical fruits. The climate is pleas ant and healthy, and the sun shines on no more inviting field for the industry and skill of the European farmers. It is most true that at present there is no inducement for laborers, by the month or day, to come to the South) for the reason that our planters are oot in a condition to pay them, or give them such comforts as they have enjoyed at home. But for all who have a little money, and wish to buy or lease small farms, the field is wide and most in viting. The Canvass in Tennessee. The canvass between Etheride and Brownlow for Governor, grows interest ing. Brownlow, being too ill to canvass, stays at home chafing and foaming, and issuing furious letters. He says that while he does not wish to interfere with the freedom of speech, he feels bound to send State troops to all points where Etheridge speaks, to see that the au thorities of the State are not villified and abused. Etheridge says he shall not hesitate to criticise the official acts of the Governor, even though blood shall flow as the result. Judge Baxter is on the stump, and is handling the old blackguard without gloves—always preserving the dignity of fair, manly discussion. The papers also are busy with the black record of the infamous old ingrate, and are ventilating bis assertions, made a few years ago, that the negro is a monkey without a tail ; that slavery was the corner stone of our Republican edifice, and where he repudiated ns ridiculous aud absurd, the dogma that all men are born free and equal. The signs are bright that the political days of this dirty old Isbmaelite are numbered. So mote it be. A Visit to the Augusta Factory. Through the kind invitation of a friend, 1 enjoyed,a few days since, a de lightful visit to the Augusta Factory, and inhaled the pleasant breezes of the Sand Hills, and beautiful Woodlawn. There was nothing to mar the pleasure ot the trip, save that, in the offset, the beautiful charger attached'to the vehicle seemed anxious to prove his pride and spirit, and quite forgetful that I had a neck which I by no means wished broken, was a little inclined to triumph in his strength—thinking, perhaps, that a ride taken at the risk of one’s life might be the more enjoyed, or at least give a gallant young man a chance to prove the truth of the old saying, that “None but the brave deserve the fair.” After a few attempts on the part of the black pony to ruu, rear, and kick, and an effort to give a landing in the river, the skilful management of the driver at lasj succeeded in calming the restive animal; and with due praise to his beauty aud spirit, I’m quite grateful to his horseship for taking into kind consideration the value of the only neck I have, aud sparing me to pay this tribute to his fleet footsteps. Arrived at the Factory, Mr. Cogin, the gentlemanly Superintendent, kindly conducted us through—aud here I must certaiuly say, that much credit is due to that gentleman for the neat and orderly manner in which the work throughout the entire building is carried ou. In deed, the richest clad lady may venture within those busy walls without the least fear ot spoiling her handsome robes. The busy, noisy looms certainly had music in theta tor tie, aud if it did not souud so soft and sweet ns the notes of the light guitar, there was a novelty in it which pleased me at least; and if the hands that moved the shining spindle were not so fair as the jeweled fingers that glide over ivory keys, the faces and forms of those who moved amid the busy looms formed a picture over which oue might I linger and meditate, and to which I must turn again ere I have ended this short sketch. After walking through the fac tory, and taking a Jofty view of the surrounding scenery, we were ruoat cordially invited to the beautiful re»i : deuce of Mr. Cogin, where we met hi* kind and hospitable lady, who invited ua to stroll through her beautiful gar dens. There may be fragrance and poetry In flower*—but obi those cab bage* ! certainly had inspiration in them, and I can only give full utterance by repeating again—flow cabbage*! and no one but a hungry neraon on a feast day can do them justice I Then those flelioious strawberries I what- a treat. I can only thank my kind lady triend for the beautiful boquet of that tempting fruit, as well as tor the sweet floral offering from her hands. And now once more to a pic ture I would it were in the power of my feeble pen to portray. As I wandered amid the beautiful shades, where every breath of the summer air was ladeu with the perfume of sweet flowers, and the melody of song seemed floating by, I could still bear the music of the busy looms, and I turned my gsie from the outside world to the forms that glided among them. The stitch 1 stitch I stitch I of the weary sewing woman,asshe plied her needle—“ sewing at once, with a double thread, a shroud as well as a shirt”—gave to the world that beautiful and touching poem, Hood’s “ Song of the Shirt”—and the ceaseless dick 1 click I click ! ot the busy, noisy looms, as I watched the frail forms gliding among them, and the slender hands moving the shining spin die, suggested to me the following poem: 1 THE SONG OF THE FACTORY GIRL. Oh ! for one hour—just one short hour, From the busy, noisy loom, To breathe the breath of the summer air, And the flowers sweet perfume ; My brain throbs so—my heart is sick I am weary for want of rest, And the ceaseless din in these factory walls, No quiet brings my breast. I long to ramble a little while Out in the balmy air. And rest on the greeo of some mossy bank Where a bright stream ripples near, To bathe my brow in the cooling fount Aud soothe its fever pain, And UDder the calm of tbe fair blue sky My heart would be light again. But I am poor ; and I murmur not, For mine is honest toil, And as I move by each busy loom I’ve no rich robes to soil! And I thank the Father who gives me strength To earn my daily bread— But I cannot still this throbbing heart Or ease my aching head I wonder if those who idly pass Within these busy walls, Can hear ’mid the coaseless, ceaseless bum, The whisper that sadly falls ? If there’s one who sees the slender hands Tbe shining spindle grasp, Who pities the weary, working girl At her never ending task ? Oh ! me, could I only step aside, Away from this noise and din, And pass outside, unseen by all, While the crowd comes pressing in ; These walls are not so drear to them, There’s something here to see, Aod the song of the loom is new to some, Bat the sound is old to me! ’Twas not the lips of the girl that spoke, But the cheek was thin and pale ! And I knew if her soul but dared to breathe It would tell the same sad tale ; And the shining wheels and moving bands Kept np a ceaseless roar ; But their music could not still the voice That plead for the honest poor. Oh, God 1 I thought, if those whoso feet Tread only the halls of mirth, Would sometimes turn from pleasure’s paths To the suflering ones of earth— To dry the tear and comfort give The stricken suffering one j Tbe Father above would bless, I know, Tbe good that they bad done. Oh ! oot alone in factory walls May yon find tho honest poor? The busy loom would make music sweet At many a cottage door ; There are idle hands that would gladly toil Had they only work to do ; And starving ones who’d welcome a crust, Oh 1 child of wealth from you ! I turned my steps from the toiling throng Once more to the crowded street, Tbe smiles of the heartless one’s outside Again in the world to meet— And I saw no pale and hollow cheek, Nor languid drooping eye ! But each form was fair, and footstep free, As the gay throng passed me by ! And I met them all—tbe light of heart, Bright eye—and floating curl, But the mirth of the merry Jaugh was hushed By the song of the factory girl ! Carkis. Bbli. Sisclair. Augusta, Qa., May, 1867. CROP ITEMS. Reports from North and South Caro lina give cheering accounts of the growing wheat crop. The prospect never was better at this season of the year. The Charlotte (N. C.) Democrat announces serious damage to the wheat and cotton in that section, by a heavy hail storm on Thursday last. Many farmers will have to replant cotton, in consequence. The loss of the wheat crop is irreparable. A former United States Sena'or, from Arkansas, writes to the Cincinnati Enquirer that the cotton crop of 1867 will certainly fall to a million of bales, and gives a long list of reasons, among which are the amount paid out for last year’s crop by northern men, who have abandoned the business ; the scarcity of food ; the great floods ; the withdrawal of women from the fields, and the diminished number of negro men engaged on farms. The Elyton (Ala.) Herald reports rust in some of the wheat crops. It is not yet a general thing, and it is hoped that if the present fine clear weather should continue for a few days, its pro gross may be arrested. The Nashville Union says : The late frosts south of the Ohio river have not materially injured the fruit or grain, and if the season proper to the time of year continues, and insects should not attack iu greater force than usual, tbe stands of all kinds will bid fair on the first of June. Throughout the cotton region there is a smaller breadth planted than ever before. The uncertainty of hired labor, tbe great scarcity of bread stuffs, aud the low aud remunerative price of cotton is the explanation of this tact in tbe uplands. The inunda tions io the great valley, and the destruction of levees sufficiently account for the small crop to he expected from that region. Com in Boutliwestern Georgia is in the tassel, aiid look* well. A mound Platform. At a lireetiraen’s meeting in Greenville a Few days ago, William Murphy, a sensible colored man, defined bis position in tlie following style, which is a platform good (or white or black : “lain in favor of all hands going to work and making plenty to eat, and keep less noise, tnen all will come right. I tell yon the South is the greatest country in the world. I now propose three cheers for the South. OBITUARY. Died In Graniteville, S.
