V IRGIL PO MGERS oetl;«m. Engineer and gup t. 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 YOU. IV. —NO. 36. 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. —[Caddo Gazette.
