AFRICAN IMMIGRATION TO THE SourH.-Bills have
been introduced in the Legislatures of Mississippi and
louisiana, incorporating companies to procure the
voluntary immigration of Africans, contracting to Ia
Dor for term of years. This is not violation of
the United States laws. The General Government
can have right to interfere with voluntary emf
grafton. 1t is the benevolent system just nauguar.
ated by France, and which cannot but have the most
captivating effects. The Mississippi and louisiana
folks are determined not be outdone in benerozence
by the French Emperor.

The Celebration i'm Richmond,

Monday last, the 22d of February, was a proud
day for "old Virginia" 1t was the onei hundred
,and twenty sixth anniversary of the birth of WASH
1NGroN, and it celebrated by the Inauguration of
the equestrian statue of the immortal man. recently
erected in Richmond. The weather was unpropi-
tious, yet the ceremonies were most imposing and
were generally carried out according to the pro-
gramme. At least twenty-five thousand visitors
were in attendance besides the population of Rich
mond. A welcoming speech was delivered by Gov.
WISE which was followed by an address by Robert
G. Scott, ESQ, on behalf of the Masons, an opening
Ode by Jno. R. Thompson Esq. the Grafton by Hon.
R. NJ T. Hunter, and a terminal Ode by James Bar
ron Hope, Esq.
The proceedings incidents, &c, as given in the
double sheet of the Petersburg Daily Express, are
highly interesting. Mr.. Crutchfield deserves great
credit for his industry and enterprise in thus bringing
out the proceedings in advance of of the Rich
mond papers. and more at length than any of them.
Gen. Scott, Hon. Edward Everett, Hon. w. L.
Yancey, Governors Newell and Holley, of New Jer-
sey and Connecticut and many members of Cogress
and other distinguished persons were present.
The Grafton by Mr.. Hunter is an elaborate and no.
BILE production, worthy of the State of the occasion,
and of the memory and character of WASHINGTON,
whose name was on every tongue. The welcoming
speech of Gov Wise is thus noticed by the Peters
burg Express:
"Gov. WIsE's ADDREss-The address of this gen.
teman at the Inauguration of the Monument, Mon
day. is universally spoken Of and in the most eulo-
CYSTIC terms. 1t an effort of rare beauty-in
truth, it was perfect gem in its way. Though
happy in conception, and creating an excellent i'm
preston in print it should have been heard to be
appreciated. Divesting himself of his overcoat and
dong his chapeau the speakers brilliant eye looked
as keen as an eagles while his clarion voice, shrill
but clear, rung out on the chilly air with admirable
effect, and created the most intense enthusiasm.
Every syllable he uttered was distinctly heard even
to the outskirt of the immense assemblage, and as
he wound up each eloquent and patriotic sentence,
the effect was almost electrical. Loud and proong.
ed cheers followed, and we could not suppress a
smile at the blunt and honest manner in which a
rustic gentleman at our elbow cried out, IF that
mans crazy. want to go to the mad house too II
We agree with the owner of that voice. If Gov
Wise is crazy, he has admirable way Of showing
it, which was evidently the idea the countryman
wished to convey"

BUsINEss.-Wc have recently been
forclbiy reminded Of the alagc: "Call
upon man of business, in hours of bu-
siness, transact your business, 90 about
your business, in order to give man of
business time to transact his own busi-
ness" Many think nothing of going into
another's place Of business, loafng and
gossipping to the great annoyance Of the
proprietor, and among them occasional
ly, may be found some few 'small po-
tatoes' who only visit you under the
gnise Of a friend, when, in fact, they
are only in search of the ''ropes" of your
business, (as Syksey would say,) in or
der they may injare yoa and your Ebusj
ness. Such men, Gf men we may call
them, deserve not the countcnance of
any respectable man. We think that
we can very truly say but few, if any
can tell Of W hat this "world is made"
nowadays. In this (so-callod) age Of
improvement, q reform might very rea-
sonably be expected, but one and all
must admit the lamentable fact, that
there is no such word in the vocabulary
Of such men, as reform, FOR instead of
reform, it is daily growing worse and
worse. What a pity vt is, that those
mceldters should upon every occasion,
take upon themselves the responsibility
of transacting the business Of others in
stead of their own. For all such, we en-
dorse the words Of the Poet, that
"Their friendship is q lurking snare,
Their honour but an idle breath,
Their smile, the smile that traitors wear,
Their love is hate, th,ir life is DEATH

Circulation of the Day Book
To Advertisers,

We have been absolutely compelled by til {
vast increase of our subscription list
and our inability to supply our patrons IN
der our old arrangement, even with our
Mammoth Fast Press and other facilities and
with our army 0 newsboys and carriers-to
change our hour Of going to press to an ear
lier time of day. Our advertisers will there
fore govern themselves accordingly. by ham
ding in their tavors seasonably, if they wish
them published the same day.
Our change Of hour enables us to giTe the
news both Northern and Southern, from
scccateen to nineteen hours in advance of the
other papers printed in Norfolk, which is a
material consideration to our readers, while
it benefits our advertisers by bringing their
wants before the larger audience, which we
can now accommodate.
The Day Book was not established as a
specially advertising Sheet" nor has it de
generated to any such. As a general thing
mere advertising sheets are the poorest pos
sible channels of communication with the
public. We believed that pet4,g press
would succeed in this city, if properly con
ducted, with wcll-seiccted miscellaneous mat
ter-mora}, sentimental, humorous, serious,
poetical, practical having every day one or
more good sketches and poems. the latest
report Of the state Of the Markets, arrivals
and clearances of vessels at this port, com
plete and minute local record Of both cities,
and sprighty and interesting eorrespon-
deace. Our expect ations have been amply
realized, and the Day Book has just entered
upon barely the Sirth month OF the existence,
as aircaiy a permanent institution, with
circulation greater than that of all the other
Norfolk dailies tor city and coantry circula-
ton combined, with an established popularity
amongst al! classes of the community. and re-
jocng in the best prospects for the future.
The advantages which the Dog Book Of
ters to the advertising public hardly need a
statement. The ''unconsido.ed tIitie,' only
Oae Cont, that buys copy oft, carries it in
to the hands Of everybody. Our scores OF
newsboys scatter themselves, each afternoon,
into every corner and lane and alley of both
cities, visit the steamboat landings, the rail-
road cars, TIE wharves, the hotels, the pack
cts. the country carts; so that the paper flies
daily in every direction-in the back coun-
try and abroad npon the water. Each day
issue of the Day Book is read by at least
from fifteen to twenty thousand persons; and
its reading matter is so arranged, upon every
page, as inevitably to bring every advertise
ment directly under the eyes Of this vast
multitude Of readers. I'or5am sat.

FIREMENs RIoT.-Roanoke Square
yesterday morning presented a scene
that is seldom witnessed by our citizens.
A row originated between two fremen,
so it is said, which was the cause of 9TH
er members of different fire companies to
Join in, and in short time there were
about twenty fights. The Mayor and
several of the police were soon on the
spot and succeeded ia quelling the row.
We have used our utmost endeavors to
ascertain the true origin of the fight, but
we find it a hard job. Some say the
Captain of one of the companies struck
another man over the head with a span
ner which caused the fight. Others say
that one man struck another with anaxe
which was the cause of it, and here the
reports go, each one conflicting with the
other. 1t was certainly an unfortunate
affair, not only for Those personally who
were engaged in it, but for the credit of
our city. 1t is our opinion that if there
ever was body cf men who ought to
love and respect each other it is the
Firemen, but it seems to us that some of
them are never satisfied unless they can
succeed in getting into difficulty.

SOMETHING RARE AND BEAUTIFUL
Where, oh. where, and from whence did
it come, we think. we wonder anl guess
but alas we think III vain-We cannot
imagine who the donor was. who it was
that thought Of Us while gathering such
a fne bouquet, and especially at this
season, we are astonished beyond mea-
sure to receive such a gift, such token
Of friendship as this, SO rich, and bcauti-
fUl bouquet as we received this morn
ing Even were it to have ONE from
one who in the words Of Miss Lanlon
were forced to say:
"Flowcrs are all the Jewels can give thee"
We should not even then know in
what words to return our thanks. We
have placed it upon our desk where it
shall remain fresh and beautiful 50 long
as our feeble skill can nourish it, and
when its now bursting buds have with
cred in death it shall still be dearly cher
ishe,-whilo VIC shall hope that the
friendship between ourselves anu the fair
donor, for now we think we know herr
shall ever live with all the present fresh
ness of this lovely bouquet. We shall
look upon it often, AMI as often, think Of
the words of Mary Howott;
''0ur outward life requires them aot,--
Then wherefore have they birth.
To minister delight to man,
70 beautify the earth;

When e'er his faith is dim;
For whose careth for the flowers,
