the United States.

The Fraukfort.on.the Main correspon.
dent Of The Cincinnati Commercial gives
the following interesting items touching
the immense German emigration pres
EN- and prospective, to this country:
The emigration during this year TO
the United States defes all calculation.
and surpasses all expectation. The
reasons for this nnprecented exodus are
quite obvious, and are partly of foreign,
partly of domestic origin
The most efficient missionaries Won
have sent over to this continent, are

capitalists and bankers, no, every bar.
Keeper every maid.servanr, have invest.
ed their surplus in your securities. and
have made money by this investment
And six per cent. interest in gold Tha.
,s more than any European loan or Sc.
cnrity pays, and their is neither discount
nor delay in obtaining the semi annual
ins'alment. This modus operandi had
the desired effect. People, getting
daily more disgusted with the compli.
Gated and turbulent affairs at home,
look inspired with hope and faith over
to your country, standing forth in bold
relief adorned with the fresh laurels of
victory, and exhibiting inexhaustible
resources of future wealth and comfort.
But, besides these inducements, there
's the excess OF population, which neces.
states the emigration now a.days as in
in ATS A. d. it caused the emigration
OF the various nations from ASIA inlo
Europe.
Germany, which is not much larger
than Texas and slice of Louisiana
has $4,000, 900 of inhabitants. Prussia
has in her Eastern provinces, l9,643,.
954 /; in her Western provinces, 6, ,3ll,.
100; Bavaria, 4,8l3,O76; Saxonv q.
343,995; Hanover, l,74S,329; Wur.
tembnrg, l,s43,772; Baden, l,426,2ls;
the Electorate of Hesse, 7l6,8sO; the
little Saxon Duchies together, l,i03,.

202,937; Frankforton the. Main, 50.
244; Grand Duchy of Hesse, S7l,S39.
In spite of the steadily increasing
emigration since 1910, the population
has only decreased in the Duchy of
Hesse by 0.27; while in all the other
States of the Sollverein the population,
after the census taken December, 1864,
compared with the one previously taken,
has increased by 81 per cent. And
how thickly are they settled! Take,
for instance, Bavaria-she has 81, 900
inhabitants, viz: 253 cities, 4l9 towns;
1868 villages, 26,s97 farms, castles,
mills and isolated land.honses-in aver.
age, 23l persons on every English
square mile.
That part of this crowded and
crammed population must look for other
homes and shelters, is obvious. But
the political affairs Of Germany add
large numbers to these hordes of emf.
grants. The Germans in Bohemia have
lately been mos: outrageously insulted
and prosecuted by the native Czhecs.
National hatred and jealousy rose to
such height that large masses of troops
have been despatched into Bohemia. IN
order to restore security and tranquil.
ty.
In the Eastern provinces of Polish
Prussia, the Poles are getting disgusted
with the system that denationalizes
their homes, and the favorable news
they are steadily receiving from their
pioneers in America encourages them to
follow suit. Over 600 from the Dis.
trict of Schuben are on their way to
Minnesota. Tn Western Prnse;a too
in the single District Of Tushel, over IS
families have petitioned the Government
for their passports, and will sail yet
during the coming summer. There is
not the least doubt that, if the war cri.
sis will not interfere, Germany will
furnlsh, during 1866, a quota Of at
least 100000 emiglants.
