GERMAN EMIGRATION - IMMENSE
EXODUS TO THE UNITED STATES.

The Frankfort-on-thc-Main correspond
ent of the Cincinnati Commercial gives the
following interesting items touching the inn
mense German emigration, present and
prospective, to this country:
The emigration during this year to the
United States deiies all calculation, and sur
passes all expectation. The reasons Tor
this unprecedented exodus are quite Obvi-
Gus, and are partly of foreign, partly OF do
nestle origin.
The most efficient missionaries you have
sent over to this continent, are your tlve-
twenty Bonds. Not only the capitalists and
bankers, no, every har-keeper, every maid
servant, have invested their surplus IN your
securities, and have made money by tins IN
ycstmeut And six per cent, interest IN
gold That is more than any European
loan or security pays, and there Is neither
discount nor delay in obtaining the semi
annual installments. This moduS opcrdndl
had the desired effect. People, getting daily
more disguised with the complicated ana
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
inexhaustiblc resources Of future wealth ana
comfort.
But besides these inducements there is the
excess Of population, which necessitateS the
emigration nowadays as in 4.6 \. H. II
caused the emigration of the various nations
from Asia into Europe.
