A corro*pond.-ct of the Con stitution writes from Griffin, Ga.» April 20, as follows : Immigration Again. Georgia is a goodly section of conn try embracing more than thirty sev en million square acres of territory. It embraces a great variety of soil and climate. Its productions admit of almost infinite diversity. There is no country in the world where a greater vaiiety of fruits, vegetables and farm products cun be grown. Its ipeuutaimraiigea abound an ore# and-minerals, in an almost totally undevelopcdsStale.

Wright on yesterday, iu company with a gentleman who felt a great interest in fish culture. Every one arouud here has heard of the marvelous things about these carp, and but little attention bus been given the matter, it being generally consid ered greatly exagerated. But there is no humbug about Mr. Abel Wright’s fish, and having soon them with my own eves, 1 am prepared to make un honest statement.

Tho politician will cat diit, or swallow most anything for the sake of a lit tle office. credulous, and it was not until a few slices of bread hud been thrown in tliat I saw what proved ii most wonderful and interesting sight. Great big beautiful fish commenced to swarm to tho sur face, and as tli? water was clear,, they were distinctly visible. They grabbed at the bread with a kind of sucking noise, w.th tho mouth entirely- out ot the water. Mr. Wright informed us that this was caused by their lack ot teeth in the trout of their mouth, Carp that varied in length from twelve inch- es to two foot, were plentiful. They looked the size of u man’s arm, and probably weighed as high as s x or eight pounds and uuder. These ttsh were put in the pond a little over one year ago, when not over one or two inches long. Their growth has boeu truly mar velous, and it is a cerium fact that Mr. Wright has struck a bo- 1 natiz*. This spring tire first spawn were laid, and now tho pond is lit erally alive with millions ot young carp, from one-half inch to a pin’s length in size. Iu a few weeks, probably throe or four, these will Imve grown large enough to slock other ponds, and *»s Mr. Wright Ims a hundred times more than fie wants, they are for salo. The German silver carp, import ed direct from Germany, through Commissioner Baird, arrived from Washington two days ago, und liuvc been placed with the others. These last are much handsomer fish than the carp already in the pond. Of the silver ones there twenty-five about six iuclies long. Mr. Wright is to he commended for his enter prise and it is my opinion he has struck it big. A gentleman from Cincinnati was >n the city yester day and offered him two thousand dollars cash for the pond as it stands to-day. Ooe ot the chief attractions of carp culture is that they require no feeding artificially. Mr. Wrtght informs me they thrive on vegetable matter und seem to want nothing else. Not long ago lie put u largo quantity of New York and Florida moss in the pond, which the carp devoured with great avid.ty. Not a vestige of the moss is left now. I am prom ised un eatanle carp iu u short while, and when 1 smack my lips over it. I’ll tell the Constitution how it tasics.” i ease and abundance, uud-r a system of farming different from that which now pr* vails, ten millions of people. It has pleasing, lieulthful sites and nainrsl advantages for the location of hundreds of all classes of manu factures, from the smallest* to the greatest. Thanks to the spirit of immigration, our ancestors sought »«t this goodly Innd and peopled it. If H be tight thul tne people of Geor gin are here to duy, it is because itn migration is right. It was thought tube right during the 18«Ii century . and here we are in the midst of this smiling land of incomputable rtsources. It has been a pleasing thought to our people that Provi dence directed the foots eps of our lathers to this country. Why should it be sought so? Because they lov ed liberty ? Because they desired to be free ? Because th.y were worthy of freedom ? May be so. If that were the case, will not the tame fact hold good with reference to the thou lands of landless and opressed peo ple countries whence our an- P? They love liberty, they decile io be free, they are rts wor thy of freedom as ourselves ; und would seem just ns proper that they and their de-cemlants should find it in onr good old State, as that our ancestors should have won it here, a century ago. It will not do to arro- gve ourselves over the other branoli es of the great Cancusian family, or to conclude, iu the spirit of utter feliiffiuess und folly, that there is no loom h ?re for the landless and home less ones of Europe. There is room enough in Georgia lor millions more of people, and there are millions of people—industrious, energetic peo- p|p, that are needing the room. There ate hundreds of landlers families in Jturope that would rejoice at the privilege ot buying little farms in Georgia. Let them be encouraged to come over and settle in onr good old State, und aid us in developing its unnumbered reaou ces. It would be a blessing to them. The benefit would be mutual. There is no rea son—worth calling u reason, why colonies of those |>eople should not be encouraged to seek homes some where within our broad boundaries, that they may here find tbe libeity and the prosperity that are denied them under kingly rule. Taking n view of the question solely from the standpoint of self-interest, there is every reuson why the earnest and in telligent labors of Mr. Fontaine in ibis behalf should meet the active endorsement of our people, and tbe material encouragement of our Leg islature. Our labor supply is ex ceedingly precarious, and it is be coming more and more uncertain every yeuf. The plantation system is doomed. The demand of the times is for smull farms and a greut muny ol them, for u diversity iu the char acter ol furm products, for iu increus e in tlie capacity and variety of msnu factoring industries ; and ao thought lu 1 man can fail to see that, by hold ing out inducements to industrious settlers from the less favored sections ol this country and Europe, we ren der more certain und more speedy the accomplishments of all these ends, lu helping ullu-rs we help ourselves.

They saw nothing of her in a week or so, aud concluded she hud perished, when just 20 days from the time she ran into the pile of wood, she came out, looking as thin as u race horse.

A Vicksburg negro, who fell from tho deck of u steamboat, the other day and was sucked under the coal barge, came up in time to catch his breath before ho slid pit- der a raft a mile long, and finally scrambled ashore at Wurreutown, about seven miles below, with tbe remark: “No usetryin’;ye can’t drown a deep-water Baptist!” Let not one suppose that by act ing a good part through life be will escape scandal. There will be those even who hate him for the very qualities that ought to procure es teem. There are some folks iu the world who ure not willing that others should be better than them* selves The First Money The first fifty dollars that a young man honestly earns, and saves over and above his expeaaea while earn ing it, will ordinarily stamp upon his mind and character two of the most important conditions of sne- cess in after lifo - industry and economy. It is far better for him that lie should oirn the first fifty dollars thaii thut it* should he giv en him. If ho earns it he knu^a " hut it is worth, uiuce it reprqeant* to him a great amount of effort. If lie saves it " bile earning a much larger sum, he acquires thereby n habit of economy. Neither of those valuablo lessons is taught by a pure gift. On the whole, it is rto serious disadvantage toyoatig men to begin lifo poor.

If Ihe farmers of the ttouth would raise their own supplies, make their own fertilisers, and make eolten a surplus crop, in ten years they would be the most independent dose ot people in Ihe country. The only turmers who make money on cotton ure those who do not have heavy gu ano and provision bills to meet in the fail. Taking them as a whole, they are poorer than they were in 1870 in epite of last year’s crop ot six and half million bales of ootton. The policy of raising ootton, to the exclusion of provision crops, benefits every other cluss more than it do?a the farmer. It the Yankees ewued the South, hi twenty years it would be the rich est section of country on the fsce of the eurth. The Southern people do not seem to have uuy very decided genius tor money waking.
