OF SOUTH cARoLIEA-THE WAR.
The Governor of South Carolina sen,
in his message to the Legislature on Fri
day last. 1t is chiefly devoted to State
matters. He makes the following refer
ence to the war:
Untiring energy and perseverance, arc
essential to success A bitter aud willy
foe watches our every movement, pre-.
pared to take every advantage. Our
people nave counted the cost, and have
determined upon independence or aunihi.
lation. 1t 10 ours to leave nothing
undone to secure the object of this revolu-
ton. Never was the remark more appli.
cable that the price of lib. erty is eternal
vigilance. The State Leg slutures have
no unimportant part to play 10 this great
drana. They can aid the Confederate
government by assisting in clothing the
troops, in repelling the raids of our enc
mics and 10 feeding the families Of Cur
soldiers In arms. In all measures which
you in your wisdom may adopt, looking
to the successful issue of this great strug.
gle, you may, gentleman, rely upon my
hearty co-operation.- Richmond Dis

Emigrants from Europe.
The recommendation of the President
IN regard to encouraging immigration, has
not received as yet the public attention
which it deserves. He states what all
see to be true, that the nation is in a
transitional and peculiar condition, when
measures may be advisable, which would
not be 20 in ordinary times. He calls
attention to. the great dearth of labor in
agriculture and the mines, seeing clearly
that the especial loss in this war is not 90
much the destruction and wear OF prop
erty, as the loss of labor. And vet. he
informs US. stems Of thousands Of people
throng our foreign Consulatss," desiring
cheap assistance for immigration, and he
accordingly ssks that Congress would take
into consideration the propriety of FUR
thering this immigration by some pecu-
mary aid.
1t has always been understood by these
guiding public affairs in this country
that our richest mine of wealth lay 10 the
constant influx Of foreign labor. We al
know that II Is not 80 much the inex-
haustible allavial plains Of the West. or
the gold veins Of the Rocky Mountains,
which have made as wealthy, Is these
united with our free supply Of labor. In
view of this, during : time of var. and
with an immense debt heaping up, Con-
eress has given almost the irst instance
in history Of National Legislature Offer
ing the land Of the country without price
to the settler.
!. This liberal measure has made I pro.
found impression 10 Europe The il.
stinet for owning land is one OF the most
profound instincts In the human breast.
