GREAT OAKS FROM LITTLE AooRNs Grow =
On yesterday, we made an appeal to the I'm
migration Society, based on the arrival of
three enterprising young Virginians, and to-
day we are informed that ten immigrants,
none of whom speak English, passed through
here on the Norfolk and Petersburg railroad,
bound to the great West. 10000 are book
ed for passages from Germany. Can't we
add a few cyphers to the right of our ten i'm
migrants just reported?
