Mexican Immigration.-Wc publish, this
morning, an interesting letter from Capt. M. F.
Maury, Imperial Commissioner of Immigra
tion, in relation to Mexico, and the inducements
held out to emigrants from the United States,
especially from the South. It will be observed
that Mexico is a good place for a man of means
to invest capital; but the poor man stands but
a very slim chance to make a living, especially
so if he purposes to work for from twenty-live
to fifty cents a day and find himself out of this
small pittance. We are not among those who
believe that Mexico is the El Dorado which it
is pictured to be by some of our enthusiastic
countrymen, and we had much rather sec the
tide of immigration flowing in this direction
than in the direction of Mexico. Let our peo
ple exercise patience and rather “ suffer the ills
that are Ilian tty to others they know not of.”
The soil and climate of this country is as pro
ductive and healthy as those of Mexico, and
when the acrimony and prejudice which now
exists wear away, and civil government is re
stored throughout the South, we are firmly con
vinced that the Constitution and Union framed
and organized by our fathers will he more in
consonance with the views of our people than
the Imperial mandates of a Napoleon or Max
uailiau. For ourselves we are opposed in toto
to the various schemes of emigration which are
now being agitated in the South, because they
appear to us premature and in some respects
delusive. The true policy is to stand by our
country—we mean the South—in the future as in
the past, and not to desert her now when pros
trated from the effects of the terrible ordeal
through which she has passed. To desert her
in this condition would not only be in the high
est degree unwise but unmanly.
The Steamers Jas. Christopher and It. H.
ViAV. In calling the attention of consignees
and others interested to the advertisements of
Mr. Joseph Kindi ley, agent of the steamers Jas.
■Christopher and It. H. May, into of the line
between Savannah arid this city, the Herald
.-ays, it will be siren that the wreck of the Chris
topher is offered for sale, anti that persons hay- ;
ing claims against both steamers are notified to
present them to Mr. Kinehley for settlement.
In this connection our Savannah cotouiporary •
'liras speaks of the services of the company and j
pays a deserved compliment to the onterprize j
'"id business capacity of our citizens: “The !
‘Christopher and May have both been burned'
within a few weeks past, causing a loss to the ‘
c ompany of some 30,000. This loss falls heavily ■
upon a company that has contributed its full j
share of capital and onterprize in supplying the j
means of transit between this city and Augusta j
during the intermission of our railroad com
munication. Under the management of Mr.
Kinehley, the gentlemanly and accommodating
agent, the line gave the fullest satisfaction to the
business public. We hope soon to see Mr. K.
in charge oi another line of river steamers, and
that better fortune may attend them.”
C<iL. O’Brien.— Tho Memphis Bulletin, of
ilie 9ib, gets ot) the following on onr friend
O’Brien, one of the indispensable fixtures of
that important institution known as the South
ern Express Company. We are afraid that onr
friend of the Bulletin Ims had dust thrown in
his eyes by the gentleman in question, as he has j
hern married too long to talk about; and we j
request, in justieo to his eharming wife and i
< hildren, that, this erroneous statement will he
corrected, as it is calculated to deceive the young
ladies of Memphis:
Personal.— Our office was enlivened yester
day by the cheerful presence of Colonel Mike
O’Brien, the activo and energetic officer and
ornament of that great institution, tho Southern
hxprese Company. It gives us pleasure to in
form his admirers, especially his lady friends,
that he is yet unmarried. We make this state
ment in justice to the gentleman, and to correct
a rumor which has been circulated to the con
trary.
Death of an Old Citizen.— Mr. E. J.
Bnekmastcr, an old and respected citizen, died
f t ids residence in this city Monday morning.
For years he had been a patient sufferer from
paralysis, and his death was neithor sudden nor
unexpected, as he had been gradually sinking
from the effects of his affliction. As a father,
husband and citizen, he faithfully discharged
his duties both to his family and his fellow
citizen. As a merchant, strict integrity and
assiduous At tention to husiness were his promi
nent traits, a»d as a Christian, he followed the
precepts of the Redeemer in “doing unto others
ns he. would wish others to do unto him.”
I)E> Bow’s Review.— The March number of
this ever-welcomo and enterprising monthly
Ims been sent us by the publishers. Like all its
predecessors it i* full of information, tho quali
ty of which is not equaled by any Review in
the country. We are pleased tg observe that
nearly all the prominent articles aho .contributed
by Southern men. We may have occasion to
refer to it more in detail, as a careful persusal
generally eliminates some striking doctrine suit
able tor public re-production. Meanwhile, all
who can do *p, should send a subscription to
16. F. De Bow, 40 Broadway, New York.
Dry Goods, not Grocerim* —ln our re
port of the robbiug of Mr. O. C. Drake's etffrg,
yesterday morning, we were made to say that
}se haul received a new stock of groceries, etc.,
but we have a very distinct rocolleetion of writ
ing goods, which was manipulated into groce
ries by a frock of tho types, for which we hold
ourselves in no way responsible. As Mr.
Drake has no desire to change his business, we
hope our readers will not be by tho
mistake, and call on him for gin and sugar.
He doesn’t deal in the articles.
The Late Mr. Caldwell.— We regret that
in our notice of the death of Mr. Caldwell, the
statement appeared that ho was under the in
fluence of liquor at the time, as we are assured
by some of his friends that he had been labor
ing for weeks previous to his death under a
temporary aberration of the mind. We are re
quested to state that a reward of !fSO will be
paid to any person who recovers his remains.
Spring Clothing.— l. SimOn & Co. inform
the public that “cotton at the present prices is
the cheapest article in America,” which means
that they have received a full supply of spring
goods, which will be sold low for cash.
Attention! Ladies.— Madame Fillette an
nounces at her popular establishment, 218
Broad-street, a “grand opening of Millinery
and Fancy Goods, on Thursday morning,” at
which the ladies Os Augusta and vicinity are
invited to be present.

A joke is current in New York at the expense
of Mr. Henry J. Raymond. Mr. Ganson, and an
ex-member of Congress, from the Buffalo dis

New York, March 8.
We are suffering from the most afflictive
spell of weather that can be imagined or de
scribed. We have a high March wind, driving
the dust of the streets before it with great fury.
The “oldestinhabitants ” declare that they have
never seen anything to equal it. Besides the
high wind it is intensely cold ; and no more un
comfortable weather has been enperienced the
past winter, without taking the blinding dust
into the account. It is attended by a severe '
mortality by those afflicted with lung or bron
chial affections, and several deaths have occur
red by conjestion of lungs, brought on by se
vere and sudden colds.
These discomforts and mortality and mainly
duo to the neglect of the contractors to clean
the streets. But no one thinks of an effort at
redress, and it is quite likely we shall have a
moderate desert of Sahara with us for a week
or two longer, or uutil a heavy rain shall work
the dirt into the sewers.
TRICHINA.
The publications that have been made respect
ing the presence of a parasite called “ trichina,”
in “hog products” that have not been suffi
ciently cooked, has nearly produced a panic in
the pork market, and lias led to some advance
in the prices of neat cattle. Tho consumption
of pork in our city and suburban markets has
fallen oil'fully one-half; prices have materially
declined, although very few hogs have come to
market.
I allude to the matter here to aid in pre
venting the panic on the subject from spread
ing. Never were the hogs fattened on better
corn titan during the past season, and never
were they more free from all disease. All anlj
inal food should be properly cooked; half cook
ed food, whether animal or vegetable, is un
healthy. The authenticated cases of trichina do
not number half a dozen throughout Europe or
America; not oue in a thousand as compared
. with the use of improper vegetable food, and yet
wc have a great hue and cry against swine’s
flesh as food for a man. Sensible peopltf will
not listen to it.
THE RADIOAI.S ANI) THE REGULAR ARMY.
The conservative character of the officers of
the regular army, and their unwillingness to
continue in positions of restraint upon the lib
erties of any portion of their countrymen, have
brought down upon them the wrath of the Rad
icals; and Senator Wilson proposes to counter
balance their possible influence upon the future,
j by compelling them to receive, as equals, sun
dry shoemakers, counter-jumpers and epaulet
tod nobodies. In reorganizing the army, vol
unteer officers will rank equally well with reg
ulars in the order of promotion. Thus, one
who was a militia captain a few years ago, may
claim and receive equal rank with a veteran
general like Cnnhy.
SPRING ELECTIONS.
There have been a number of city elections
in this State, and the results are of a character
to establish a statement that I have hereto
fore made in this correspondence, namely, that
the active and ill-educated wealth among (he
people, (which is generally Radical,) is growing
so strong as to somewhat overawe the lower
classes (who generally have a good idea of
practical statesmanship.) This strengthens the
Radicals in the cities ; and in the larger cities
which have recently held elections, the Radicals
have gained. In the rural townships they have
as uniformity lost. The domination ofgrasping
wealth over the producing classes is the first
born of a protective tariff. Perhaps in tlic
manufacturing districts, flic average of people
have a little more money than in the agricultu
ral districts, but nowhere in the United States,
“so-called,” will there be found deeper moral
degradation than in New England. That any
considerable portion of her population can lie
driven to the polls like sheep to the shambles,
will lie accepted as sufficient evidence on this
point.
BUSINESS MATTERS.
We have some excitement respecting the
state,of private credits, under the recent heavy
decline in leading staples and great, dullness of
trade. Several failures arc reported, and the
clerks of the mercantile agencies are busy from
morning nil late at night, on the very interest
ing personal topics which come under their
cognizance.
The decline in goods can hardly be appreci
ated. A line of Saxony dress goods, which cost
65 cents to import, sold out at auction at 35
cents; and I hear of even greater sacrifices being
made. Cotton goods have further declined. •
Cotton is two to three cents lower than last
Monday, and very unsettled. In fact, every
leading staple, except flour and wheat, has de
clined, with very dull sale.
The advance iu five-twenties to 119 1-2 in the
London market is regarded as promising such
further advance, (say to SO,) as will put gold
here to 120. The Liverpool market for cotton
showed some little weakness for the week ending
February 14th, under the advices from this side,
but as those were quite temporary in their char
acter, a reaction is looked; for and yet, although
the Liverpool gold price shall bo sustained, the
currency price here, depends much upon gold
and exchange, which have now an unfavorable
tendency. Willoughby.

under the influence of advices from America of
increased receipts and a fall in prices some de
cline lias been submitted to from last week’s
quotations, but the reduction of the Bank rate
to seven per cent, lias tended to promote a
steadier feeling at the close of the market.

WFne Practical Results of Nejro Emanci
patiou.
- The sorrows entailed by a single' sin’were
never more strikingly displayed than in the
has? of negro slavery. Emancipation, which
-. should be the final expression of repentance
» and the closing act of redress, Is, only the first
link in a chain of increasing .difficulties. The
Americans art already finding this out, and it
’ must lie poor encouragement to them to ob
t serve the actual condition to which thirty years
of a similar trial hate brought Jamaica.' The
abolition of slavery in any country opens a new
question, which, Wc may say without exaggera
* tion, has never yet yet been solved at all.' No
experience has shown us how' to • conduct a
. population of liberated blacks to a good social
or political position. . In Hayti we see the- end
of negro independence; in Jamaica of negro
liberty. The natural desire of all Abolitionists
is to convert the slave into a free laborer—the
equal, iu that respect, of a white man. But the
emancipated slave, partly from a natural revul
sion of feeling, arid partly front the ineradica
ble instincts of race, has no disposition to be
., come a laborer at all. He is incapable of ap
preciating a condition of freedom which leaves
him under as much necessity to work as before.
The question has uniformly been urgued on the
assumption that as free labor cheerfully given
is more productive than forced work, the
services of the blacks, in their new capaci
ty of freedom, would actually be more val
uable than before, so that no derangement
of industrial interests could follow upon
emancipation. This would lie true enough
if the negro resembled the European in ljis
wants or his disposition; but there is no such
analogy between the two. One volunteer is
worth two pressed men, no doubt; but the
black, when he ceases to be a pressed man, does
not become a volunteer. He will work for
nothing but the necessary satisfaction of his
bodily wants, and as these wants are on the
smallest possible scale it follows that of his
own free will he will hardly work at all. We
have seen the problem brought to its practical
end in Jamaica step by step. When the slaves
were first emancipated provisions were enacted
for substituting certain organizations of labor
in the place of slavery, but the negroes rebelled
against this species of compulsion, their white
patrons applauded their conduct, and appren
ticeship, in all its successive forms, was ulti
mately abolished also, as mere “slavery in dis
guise.” From that time the blacks were left to
work or play, exactly like white laborers, and
the result was that they were good for nothing
at all. It was only by the importation of work
men from foreign countries that the cultivation
of the soil could be continued, and it was only
continued, in point of fact, to a very small ex
tent. With the exception of a few plantations
oil the seashore the estates went out of cultiva
tion altogether. A result which in our econo
mical discussions at home is only speculatively
contemplated as the effect of a final rupture be
tween capital and labor did, in Jamaica,
actually occur. Agriculture was given np
altogether. The o wners or occupiers of estates
actually found that a most productive soil in
one of the finest climates in the world would
not repay the cost of fanning on the terms of
black labor, and they showed the reality of
their conclusions in the most practical way.—
They let their land go to waste, and the proper
ty and produce of the soil were lost together.—
Jamaica, at this minute, imports food for its
population, though it is rich enough and fertile
enough to support five times that population
from its own products.
In America we seem to see tho first step ta
ken in a similar career of difficulty and misfor
tune. Emancipation has come, and is a reality.
Nobody, even in New England, has any sus
picion that the people of the South so much as
dream of the re-establishment of personal sla
very. But the people of the North are not con
tent with this. An active party among fhem is
already clamoring for additional securities on
the negro’s behalf. They are providing, by an
ticipation, against “slavery in disguise,” though
they cannot tell how to Set about the work.—
On the other hand, the officers on the spot, who
have got the blacks under their personal ob
servation, and can discern the nature of the
emergency, are proceeding' very much in the
fashion of the Jamaica Legislature in times past.
The Freedmen’s Bureau—that is to say, the
hoard charged especially with the protection of
the negro—has issued orders, in the case of
Georgia, that the negroes, when sufficient wages
are offered, shall make contracts for labor, and
it undertakes to insure the execution of these
contracts, when duly made, by compelling the
blacks, if necessary, to perform their word.—
This is the apprentice system, or, rather, it is
something far more like actual slavery. If
these orders, which are to be adopted in all the
Slates of the South, are correctly described, the
American negro,, though he can no longer be
bought and sold outright, will still lie held to
“ involuntary servitude. ” If any Southern
planter by virtue of tendering what in the eyes
of a magistrate may appear a sufficient sum of
money is to be enabled to carry ott any num
ber of blacks to his estate, there to work wheth
er they will or not, the “disguise” of slavery
will be very thin indeed. In Jamaica our colo
nists were not even permitted to make con
tracts for labor with black volunteers, or to
bind a negro to continuous work by the terms
of an ordinary apprenticeship. The patrons of I
the blacks prescribed every element of coercion j
except that arising from the wants ot the body
—a stimulus which, in the case before them,
had no existence at all.
We may expect with some confidence that the
New Englanders will protest against this official
decree, but what is to be the alternative ? With
out coercion in some form or other the negro
will do no regular work. If hoSn but squat
and sleep, and still keep body and soul togeth
er, that will he his course. At present he Can
not quite do so, hut lie is assisted for the mo
ment by daily rations of food doled out to him
by the State. This, however, cannot last, nor
is it very probable that the blacks will be allow
ed in America the peculiar advantage which fell
to their lot in Jamaica. In that island the en
franchised negro got a direct benefit from his
own indolence. When the cultivation of the
soil was given up as hopeless for want of labor,
and land was allowed to run to waste, the negro
re-entered upon the deserted plantation to squat <
aud vegetate. The wreck and ruin actually told
in his lavor, and re-produced a natural wilder
ness for the use of his savage nature. But we
do not think the Americans will permit the re
enactment of such scenes in tlieir country—
they cannot afford to lose seven fine States of
the Union as Jamaica was lost to us. These
States must do tlieir natural duty in raising pro
duce, paying taxes, and maintuiuing an indus
trious population in decent order. Jamaica ,
told for little in our modern system. It was
not much to us that a few colonists were ruined
or that we got our sugar from Spanish instead of ■
British plantations,but it is very different with the 1
Americans and the Southern States. A section !
of the extreme Radical party is, indeed, pre
pared to legislate in away which would make ,
Virginia or Georgia as like Jamaica as possible. I
These rabid politicians arc ready to confiscate 1
the estates of their Southern fellow-citizenslas :
a punishment for their recent rebellion, and then ,
to parcel out the land in small allotments to the ‘
liberated blacks. That would end, no doubt,
in a very accurate reproduction of the fortunes
and fate of Jamaica, but we have not the least
belief that the Americans will ever endure such
a sacrifice. They will reject this alternative, but
they can do so only on condition of embracing
that from which our own colonists were rigor
ously debarred. Under some system or other
they must exact involuntary labor from the ne
gro. Possibly, the actual necessities of life may
in those countries put that stress upon the
blacks which they escaped in Jamaica, and com
pel them to work for tlieir bread ; but it is more
probable that some regular organization of ne
gro labor will be substituted for slavery in spite
of the reclamations of New England. The
Government of Washington will hardly consi
der it a desirable tiling to lose the whole use of
the South for the next thirty years, and at the
end of that time to find another disruption of
society and an outbreak of blacks as the fruits
of its humanity and forbearance.

CON QRESSIOH AL
Washington, 'March 12,1866.
In the * Senate, Mr. Sherman presented a pe
tition from citizens of Columbia, South Caro
lina, asking indemnity for loss sustained by the
destruction of certain houses by Sherman’s
army. The Senator read a letter from General
Sherman ajleging that Columbia was not fired
by Federal authority, but by order of General
Wade Hampton.
General Sherman states that the town was
on fire when he entered. The petition was re
ferred to the Committee on Claims.
•The bill to admit Colorado as a State was
discussed. Senator Sherman opposed the bill
because of no provision in the Constitution al
lowing negro suffrage.
The House would not permit the introduc
tion of a resolution declaring the inexpediency
of any scheme looking to the guarantee, by
Government, of any Mexican-or Fenian loan.
The reciprocity bill was discussed.
Washington, March 13.
The Senate refused to jpass the bill for the
admission of Colorado. (
The House, by a vote of one hundred and
nine against thirty-uiuo, passed the Senate bill
delaring all persons, white and black, who have
been in the United Btates military service to be
citizens of the United States, and to protect
them iu their civil rights, and furnish the
menus for its vindication. Ndthing in the bill
to be construed so as to affect the laws of any
State concerning the right of suffrage.
FROM WASHINGTON.
* Washington, March 12.
Advices from Toronto, Canada, state that the
number of volunteers called for by the Govern
ment largely exceeds the demand. An official
military order has been published, denouncing
the contemplated Fenian raid, and relying upon
the success of volunteers, in case of an attack.
Washington, March 13.
Weeks ago, a British delegation from the
British provinces visited Washington with a
view to continue the reciprocity made between
the United States and British Provinces. A bill
was reported for this purpose, and after several
days discussion, the House last night rejected it.
Thus the foreigh tariff act will now apply to the
Britisli provinces.
FROM MOBILE.
Mobile, March 13.
At the municipal election in New Orleans
John T. Monroe was elected by three hundred
majority. The national Democratic ticket almost '
entire, was successful.

COTTON—The market has been dull during the
week at at slight decline on former quotations. Liv
erpool and New York advices have snsettlod our mar
ket and prevented anything like large transactions. -
The offering stock has been light, and this, coupled
with the indisposition of buyers, caused by the de
pressing and unsettled condition of foreign markets,
has produced inactivity and uncertainty Tn the home
market. We quote Middling to Strict Middling at
34a35, and Good Middling at 36. Receipts for the
