In bis talk to the Ohio editors he referred to the Union and its blessings to all. He spoke felic itously of especially the links of ma terial interest that bound the South to the Northern and particularly tbe Western States in a harmonious and restored Union. At this point one of the western visitors interrupted him with the expression, “You are in the Union to stay." Governor Stephens, with bis nsunl quick promptness, re sponded : “Yes, so long ns yon men of the North shall maintain the right, as we of the South shall, and that, I trust, wfll bo forever.” It was n most apt and patriotic reply and evoked benrty npplnnse. nhvTmusic! _ .

Tbe naval stores of the world are supplied frojp the boundless pine forest that skirt the whole seaboard southern,woru, Lynchburg, ▼», of the four States; while tbe middle Alt great immigration movements and Piedmont ^ otioU8 aSor3 timber for ‘agricultural and manufacturing can be traced to two general causes: An overcrowded population at home compelling a migration of some, for' want of adequate support for all; or, again, the opening of distant and in viting fields, where, to better their condition, energetic and enterprising spirits betake themselves. Both of these causes have operated to direct to oar shores a large num her of excellent and desirable immi grants. These persons have come from their European homes with a purpose to locate permanently in this republic, and to sbare witti ourselves the fortune that may befall our coun try. They are in many instances, pos sessed of considerable means, which they expend in the parchase of home steads; they are generally frugal, tern perate and energetic, which qualities they devote to the good of the com munity in which they make their homes. For many years this tide of immi gration has been towards tbe West. The effect of it is seen to-day in tbe remarkable growth and prosperity of those States within whose borders these foster children of our land have been induced to settle. States that but a few years ago were covered with unbroken prairies and unsettled wastes, now stand high in tho finan cial nnd political world. No think ing man can fail to see tbe sequence of cause and effect. The influx of immigration is great er now than it has ever been in the past. The class of immigrants is ns good, and the great results that have accompanied their settlement hereto fore can with certainty bo predicted of their location now. Tbe South, during those years in which the western and northwestern States were being filled up nnd made prosperous, has been busy with right ing her own internal troubles—setting in order her educational, political and financial machinery. She 1ms bad no time to devote attention to tbe great movemeut going on in nil other sec tions. With her homo matters now regu- lated or provided for, her public schools erected nnd prospering, her colleges filled with her sons nnd daughters, her credits taking rank nud prominence in tho markets, nnd her manufacturing nnd mineral inter- ets attracting tho attention of capi talists and investors throughout tho entiro Union, tbo South funis herself i in a positiou to consider tho impor tant question of immigration, and to offer inducements to immigrants that can bo presented by no other territo ries. Tho most intelligent of our people have long anticipated this period in our history, and all of tho Southern purposes unexcelled in quantity and quality. The climate of these States is one of their chief attractions, ns is evidenced by tho heavy business of the passenger departments over their railways. Thousands of tourists and invalids, from the colder and damper sections of the North and West, annu ally make their w»y into the moun tains and groves of the South. Nor is tbe travel all during tbo winter months; the mineral springs and sum mer resorts of these States are world- renowned, and justly regarded as among tbe most attractive in the Un ion. If is a great mistake to regard this section as a wild uninhabited territo ry. The southern people are refined and educated, and in many instances possessed of great wealth. No coun try is more generally peopled with brave, sympathetic and hospitable in habitants. Tbe immigrant will not lack for congenial society, for schools, for church and market facilities; por will he have to dispute his possession with the wild animnl and the wilder Indian. Nature nnd intelligence have combined to make the South the fin est spot in our country for tLe immi grant. And a tour of inspection among her ore beds, her grand for ests, nnd her great water-powers, will convince the capitalist that she offers to him an equally inviting field. REVENUE OFFICERS. Ihfettfc!

Correspondent Savannah Neat. The lightning is playing lively around Pleasants, Collector of Inter nal Revenue nt Savannah. Some time ago a special agent of the treasury department went to Savannah to in spect Pleasants’ office. Things were not running satisfactorily. The gov- eminent agent found at the outset, among the assets of the office, a per sonal note of Pleasants representing $1,000, which had been taken from government funds. Pleasants ex plained that it was nil right. His bond was good, be said, and when cnlled on for a settlement the money would be forthcoming. Tho special agent was not satisfied, and, taking tho noto with him, brought it to Washington, nnd reported the matter to Commissioner Rnnm. Wilson, formerly Internal Revenue Collector nt Savannah, was one of those who strongly urged Pleasants’ nomination. He went to see Rnnm in Pleasants’ behalf, ltaum said to him: “If I were yon, Mr. Wilson, and wanted to protect my own reputation, I would ask to have my name rubbed off any indorsement of Pleasants.” It is said that Pleasants' bond in reality is not covered by more than §800 worth of property when closely- looked into. Farrow is credited with having induced Bigby to approve tho bond. Six hundred of the one thou sand dollars represented by Pleasants’ personal noto*went to aid Atkins in in his canvass for Congress. It appears that the Georgia office holders are here after the scalp of Longstreet.

There is a split of what was formerly known ns tho syndicate.— Farrow, Bryant, A. N.
