MR. DICKSON On IMMIGRATION.
Mr Editors. — l wish to draw the atten
tion of the cotton planters of the South to
the subject of immigration. It is one of
great interest, and if successful, I titihk
will prove destructive to the cotton inter

unless they ate fight. I do wi*fi both sides
to be heatd, and hope those '-whu can
wield the pen, and who agree with me Will
be heard; the other side lias been heard al
ready, and we ■ have been taxed to pro
mote this catise; The State df Georgia is
moving for our destruction.
The negro we have with us and catinot

die out, as most of our Northern friends and

had gone to work on the farms, and done
full work, it would have taken twenty
years to reach onr present situation. The
SCartilty bf labor is the duly blessing we
now enjoy as a result of the war.
The scarcity of labor in the SoiitH, gives
us the proceeds of the very labor srirne
people wish to transfer here. The profits
of one hand in the cotton field, give us the
labor of two in Europe- Transfer him here,
aud he will compete with the labor we now
have, of He will labor with those we now
baVe to lessen their profits, and bring
about a state of things, which will get up

One more point I will mehtiun, Slid then
ltjave the subject to bri diSCii«Sted fully, I
hope by abler periss. The press of the
South Has labored earnestly to get the cot
tori planter to make all hiS supplies at
home, urging it as being of the cheapest
policy Now every cotton planter knows
that tidthing pays as well as cotton, and
all the presses in tlie world cannot change
his opinion. But if the press will strike at
the foot (if the efril; they may do itiridlcula
ble good. I Will State what it is; I have
always practiced it; both the true interest Os
the CottOri planter arid patriotism; should
make all adopt it. Appiy one half of all
labor and laud to the making of full sup
plies of all kinds that rire needed oti the
plantation; and enough tb spare; for those*
efigaged in other pursuits. Do this; and
you will have more money, (take ten years
together;) fdr the other Half of labor and
latid etigaged in coition' culture, than if the
whole was employed to produce Cotton. If
this is true immigration is certainly not to
our interest, and why should not the cotton
planters consult their interest, as Well as
other people. *

Tallahassee And Georgia Railro'ad.—We
understand that a nieeling ol tile Directors
Iff this Railroad Company Was field irtsl
Thursday to consider the several communi
cations from Col. B. F; Bruton, President of
the Bain bridge, Ciillibert and Columbus
Railroad in reference tb a oortection be
tween the two roads. At the meeting a
nearly or cjuite unanimous expression was
made iu favor of running the proposed Tal
lahassee and Georg : a Road in the direction
of Baiubridge, and a .committee consisting
of Messrs; Scott, Hilton and Brokaw were
appointed to confer with President Bruton
oh the subject. The survey from Bain
bridge to Columbus is about finished, and
it is likely that the surveying corps will at
an early day ruh a foie from Bainbridge to
Tallahaase.
Since the above was wrlteh; Messrs. Scott
and Hilton, (Mr. Brokaw being prevented
from going,) have returned flout a trip to
Bainbridge. There they met with the Pres
ident and one of the Directors of the Bain
bridge, Cuthbert and Columbus road, and
had an opportunity of examining the
