The Press Of the South. for some
months past, has taxed every energy
and brought to bear all the powers OF
glowing description, cogent reasoning,
and the other available resources of IN
telligence, tact, and persistent, seduc-
tive publications. 10 induce immedl-

change, and whose minds are bent and
fixed on new homes in foreign lands.
Many of these are almost hOuseless,
homeless and friendless others exc

pittance: others can make a start and
reach the destination they seek, but
with exhausted means and nothing to
begin the world anew with; others,
more determined, less disheartened,
robust and resolved to work, will
break ground, put their hands to the
plough and hoe, raise crops, make and
save money, and be content to lead
frugal industrious life, and patiently
await the harvest they are sure to reap,
and garner the wealth they cannot fail
