liiiiiiitfralion to the Southern
Stater.
The vast area of unoccupied lands
comprised within the range of the South
ern States, beginning with Virginia and
terminating at the Gnlf of Mexioo, with
the State of Texas, is so great, that but
few men are capable of comprehending
the solution of the problem which is in
volved in tbe heading of this article—
“lmmigration to the Southern State*."
In a recent number of this paper we
took occasion editorially to call atten
tion to the establishment of a Company
for the promotion of imm'gration Sooth-
We moan “tbe Southern Land aud Km
igration Company of Wajhington, D.
C " In that artiole we spoko merely of
the Company, its objeot and aim, with
out adverting, as we now propose to do,
to the duty of the Southern land owner?,
in conjunction with tbe said Company,
in order to make the efforts of those en
gaged in the good work at all available
for any good practicable purpose.
To build up the waste places of the
South, and to people her fertile fields
with a Lardy race, whose stalwart arms
aod willing hearts, will laugh at ail ob
stacles, if iavited by the cordial invita
tion and hearty co-opcratiolk of the old
residents of the South, is our objeot.
That the people who own vast landed
estates in the Southern States are now
fully conviooed, or will soon become so
from the stern logic of events, that to
make their country what it ought to be
in a very few years, all that is necessary
is skilled labor, by which phraso we
mean both ugiieultural and mechanical
labor.
Let it but be known, through some
proper and reliable medium, such as the
Southern Land and Emigration Compa
ny, that the doors are thrown wide open
and the invitation unhesitatingly given
to all who wish to settle in tbe South
permanently, and become good industri
ous citizens, on easy terms; and our
word for it, the tide of immigration south
ward within the next year, will be sueh
as has never before been witnessed in
this or any other country. All that ie
wanted in tho South is people, with will,
muscle, sinew and heart, to make her
not only “blossom as the rose,” but the
most productive portion of the inhabila
ble world.
As labor ia the source of wealth *u-u4
nations, so labor will make the Sou b
what she inevitably must be, the garden
spot of this continent.
We are all aware, that under the old
regime, it wos tho custom for many men
in the South lo boast themselves in pos
session of many exteusive tracts of land,
that they never tilled, and indeed, uevtr
inteuded to till, because they wero not
compelled to do so; but under the new
order of things, a very different policy
must prevail if suoh men desire to bene
fit either themselves, their immediate de.
bceodunts, or posterity.
In order to illustrate our meauiDg
more fully, or rather to put to tho most
rigid practical tost tho idea wc bavo of
the duty of the Southern land-owners, it
is but ueocssary to ask the single ques
tion, what has made the North and West
so prosperous ? The answer is, small
farms , and <jood farming. By cutting
up the territory into farms of one, two,
three or four hundred acres each, and
expending on farms of these sizes the
necessary labor to assist nature to put
forth her full strength each year, the
North and West have grown in populc
tion, wealth, grandeur aud magnificence
to an extent that has astonished all Chris
tendom, and made proud the hardy hus
bandmen of those regions, because they
feel the vivifying influences which thrift
and success always begets in the breasts
of those who see “the labor of their
bauds prosper," as the promise is.
And this state of things has been
brought about by immigration, stimula
ted by the faot to which we have al
ready alluded, viz : that tbo men of
small meats could obtain title to com
paratively small farms, and thus feel
themselves identified with the well boiug j
and prosperity of the locality in which
their lots were east; and that too, des
pite the rigors of climate, or other natu
ral obstacles that met them at every step.
It is not neoeoessary for us to show the
force of our position correct, and there
fore we content ourselves with the bare
statement of the broad proposition—that
the success of the Northern and Western
States of this Confederacy is almost, if
not entirely, attributable to the facili
ties afforded by supplying men of mod
erate means save and except their
to build up for themselves happy homu*
and rear au Empire, where, but a few
years ago, naught was heard but the
wild whoops of the savage, or the dis
cordant screams of the natural denizens
of the forest wilds, now teeming with all
the elements of wealth and prosperity,
far beyond the calculations of the most
sanguine to expect, in so 6lort a period
of tim». Take, fj* axample, the-Stales

of Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, lowa,
Minnesota, and Kansas; and where, in
tbe history of the world, will be found
th'ir parallels in growth; and all thia
from immigration from the Old World
and the older States of the Confcdersoy.
Aod in this connection, let us ask, what
will be the inevitable result of a wise,
liberal, and enlightened policy, on tbe
part of tbe land-owners of the South, if
they invite to their tunny South the
millions of hardy sons of toil, who are
but waiting to be askod to come and
dwell among them, to enjoy the luxury
of tueir climate, and enrich themselves
from the products of a genorous soil ?
By a wise policy, tho white population
of tho South can be doubled withiu a
period of ten years, railroads will thread
themselvos in all directions, manufacto*
ries will spring up as by magic, and
Southern oomuaerce will spread her am
ple sails to whiten every ocean under
tbe sun.
Let there be no holding back on thie
subject; no foolish selfishness, or un
meaning sentimentalism ; but a broad
enlightened statesmanship that shall
have its sure reward, in the certain and
permanent building up of the South to
that point of true greatness that God
and Nature intended she should occupy
in the history of nations —Constitutional
Union.
j®,There are thousands, yea, tens of
thousands of young men who were gal
lant solders, and wheso fathers were
wealthy, who went to work after the
surrender; many of them have with their
strong right arm and their determined
wills repaired the losses of tho war, ia
spite of disastrous seasons and oppres
sive taxeß. It is true that others have
failed to recuperate, after years of toil,
yet they should remember that but cam*
paratively few succeed in making money*
while all do well who make un honest
support.
So much for the uufortunate and tho
deserving. We will now direct our re
marks to a class who have signally failed
to meet the difficulties which confronted
them, but on the contrary have relapsed
ioto a condition of confirmed idleness
and dissipation. There is no hope for
sueh men short of reform, and that
change must be produced by thoir in
□ ato moral principle and their native
self-respect. If this foundation is un
dermined and swopt away, they cannot
be influenced by precept and example
uor eveu by self-interest. Just so soon
as a man calculates to get money with
out working for it ( and resorts to bor
rowing, begging and gambling, there is
but one step to lead him to stealing and
even to highway robbery. How many
men have we in tho South without
uieaus, without credit, bankrupt in purse
and in reputation, with confirmed habits
of driuking and gambling, who persist
ently refuse to work ; yet vainly imag
ine that their former friends will aid
them, when they show by their own as
tions that they will not aid themselves.
The former prosperity of tho South,
the disrepute into which labor was
brought by tbe institution of slavery,
and the demoralization produced by the
war, all those oauses have conspired to
chape tbe destinies of thousands, and
make the® the ready instruments in
perpetrating deeds of outrage, of rob
bery and murder. Would that we could
hide from our gaze the hoTrid picture of
human degradation, but it is impossible.
The spectres (they are live men,) cross
our path by night and day. The vio
tims of the bottle and the card-table in
trude their unwelcome presence upon us
and extort irom ua alms. May wo not
entertain the hope that when the influ
ences which acted up Jn these men cease,
that the rising generation may learn
habits of industry and temperance ; for
ibese are ways ol purity and pleasant
ness, and paths of peace and prosperity.

Burned to Death —On Friday
night last, a colored, woman, by tbe
name of Aun Blount, was burned to
death, iu this city, by Kerosene oil.
She was using an old lard lamp wbich
she bad filled with Kerosene to give her
light while sho engaged in quilting.
While thus employed she overturned
the lamp ia her lap, tbo oil spread over
her clothing, which iu a momtent were
in a blaze, and tbe poor woman was so
badly burned that death ensued iu
about an hour. Tbe Coroner’s j ury, we
learn, returned a vcidiot in accordance
with the above faets. No person should
forget that the careless uso of Kerosene
oil may result in the most frightful
consequences. —MdleJyevdle Union.
