NGpa for the South.

The prospect Of a general war in Europe
has already begun to develop itself in vast
cmicraton Of the people to this cou0t"E. At
tie Close Of our civil war, there was al impct-
Us in this direction, bit thc impending gene
raj war on the other side Of the Atlantic seems
to have accelerated the migration eStW&rd.
The arrivals Of emigrants from the different
countries in Europe, for the past i've months,
have been greater THIS year than Tor the same
space Of time for many years past. by late
news from Earopc (ptiyatc letters as well as
put!i,hcd statements in the newSnaperS,) we
learn that large numbers CT cm:SrantS are
awaiting, at thc ports Of Europe, tranSporta-
ton to America.
The Nashville L,nj0n and American prop
crlv INQUIRIES what is to be the result Of all
this extensive emigration? 1t is the duty OF
the philo>oihic statesman to cast the result
and tell US whether it is good or evil for US,
and, according to that Judgment, advise the
proper steps to be taken to encourage or check
this rapid growth Of foreign population.
We do rot propose to discuss the matter now.
The South now needs labor and we extend
to AL the new comcrs the right hand Of wei
come and fellowship. We have fertile lands
to cultivate; we have the great staple WNlch
has supported so many Of them at home III ITS
manulacture We will give them ample op-
portunitigs to make better livelihood, either
in the production or manufacture oI this sta
ple, than they ever had at home; and our
Slave SYSTEM Of labor has been done away
with, the field for the white artizan and me-
chanic is thrown open to al.
The EHi0n md 1McricGa, in closing its ar
ticlc, says:
"The South is as large as the North, and is
ready, at all times, to compare products and
resources with any equal extent Of the hab:,
table Globe. We have been misreprescnted,
and cur population has been dwarfed by the
misaDDrchcnsioas of the world concerning our
domestic institutions, ard the unjust preju
Giccs created thereby. But that day has gone
by, and there is no ground for his continuance
The Southern people are anxious for soocr,
industrious white population to occupy theN
lands, aid to have them reap the fruits, Ich,
desirable ard abundant, which nature ard
art arc ever willing to bcstow. They want a.!
classes Of labor and cntcrpriyc-and the capi.
tai necessary to support and sustain it and
make it profitable. These States offer adVan
ta~cs for renluNcrativc employment, urSur'

Terrible Bust Tornado.


rFr0m Tie Uucnox 1prcs StGnd&rd, Merck %.
On Monday evening, the l9;h, our city was
visited bv the Nest terrible phenomenon ever
known in this or perhaps any other country
No pen can attempt to convey to those WHO
have not seen it even the f&intcSt idea Of tins
awful s.crm, which, while it lasted, seemed to
indicate that the world Was at an end aui
chaos cr;ne again. All that We lc&d about
sand storms in tic East, or the darkness 0!
Egvpt in ;hc time Of PAaroah, fades before
rr,neu.5ra,cc. Even the oldest Inhabitants ol
Buonos AvreS so accustomed to dust storms
were seized with the utmost terror, ncTei
having experienced anything approaching tC
it IN horror and intensity.
For several hours previous there were in.
dicati0ns uf storm all around the horizon,
and at 10 minutes past 3,masSes of dust clouds
passed RAPIDLY overhead, coming from inc
Southwest Then almost as quick as lightning
all was cnvclopcd in total darkness; We cannot
find a word to express the thick, paIpab!c o.
security which hung over and around all. nc
one could attempt TO move G: even seek Shcitcr
but all stood rooted to the ground. People
IN the streets had tC remain there, most OF the
doors being shut; and the wind ,ta> 50 dread
f,il that the strongest brick cGticcs ouaEc2
and shook, as if about 10 tcYp.9 ever and bury
all their inmates in the III rs.
1t being dinner hour, the hotels were crowd
cd and in the confusion no candles could bt
cot neither could the gas be lighted, as itwa
Before the hour for turning it ca. Meantime
the zinc roofs, glass, &C., wer3 Blown about
in all directions. 1t the Hotel &c Paris whcr
the glass roof fell in it was thought the nors'
gas falling, and people rushed about madly
some jumped from the corridor INTO the yard.

which destroy all tenderness, life and beauty.
Let Us before this holy feeling which now sur

MrssRs. EDlToRs-Looking over some old pa
:Ders, l came across the following piece, written
-by some friend in the days "Au!d Lang Syne. -
send you copy; if you think it worthy a
place in your columns, it is at your disposal
Not Forgotten.
You think me cold, know that Others deem
Nv love for YOU is long, all, long forgot.
All did YOU know that but only >eepl
That which am, but Yet which am not.
I'm silent most, when most my teart would
speak,
Ny lips seem bound in some strange, wi!dering
spell.
No trembling tones, no bushes on my cheek,
Tell that l love so truly and so we'll
You speak to ME in friendships cold calm tone,
And reply in tones as calmly cold
Yet all the while my heart is sad and lone
To miss those murmured, loving tones OF Old.
I've tried to teach this wayward he 'rt Of mine
To look on thee with cold indifference now;
But when see those blue-lovc eyes OF thine,
Ny heart rebels, rebels al / MllIn0t bow.
They say I'm cheerful, yes, that am CAV,
They know not then how much the Acart can
hide.
All! know they not what burning Lava may
Lie hid meath snow-c!ad icy mountain side.
Some wizards spell must strong have bound my
heart,
When disdained that offered love OF thine.
For now with life would most gladly part
To know one moment that thou vert but mine
Say, does one spark, oTc single, changetui spark,
Yet burn but din!iy in thy breast for ne?
Oh. let it glow and brighten all that's dark
And love NE Love, as alone love thee.

What Shall VIC do with our Hoop Skirts?

have had some trials In the course
of life, although but twenty springs
have passed over my head" and some
still consider me young. In my earlier
years l was the owner of dog, u cat,
and bird, and my first distinct rccol-
lection Of trials is connected with their
mischiefs and misfortunes, which did
not cease till they were all buried at
the foot of the garden walk. A little
later, my lessons became the spectres
that robbed me of my peace, until, by
determined effort, packed them into
my unwilling brain, to be gradually
assimilated or forgotten, cared little
which. #. sa #a83 e8s
AT fourteen, Ariel Lamb, the minis
tcr's son, fell in love with me, and
promised to be forever mine, and al
though, of course, didn't say anything
SO foolish rs that, from that time felt
myself called upon to attend both to
his temporal and spiritual welfare. And
a source of constant anxiety he was to
me, for he would be constantly keeping
company with other boys who were
only ordinary mortals, and 1 thought
bestowed too many smiles and oranges
on Kitty Crane and Rosa Frost; and
finally after being "mine forever" for
six months, he actually went off to a
picnic without my consent, and when
I demonstrated with him he snid some
thing about apron strings, and was
relieved of that trial. .. D.. a........
But of late years 1 have had more
serious tlial than any of these, and for
which have not yet found solution.
What can do with my hoop skirts
They wear out and the fashions change,
but they refuse to be destroyed. l bu-
ricd the first one cast off down in the
garden beside my pets, but it made
John swear so when he spaded IL up,
and it provokcs father SO to have the
springs catch in his hoe when he is gar
dening, that don't dare to do 1t again.
l did one up, determined to take 1t
clear out Of town and throw 1t away by
the road side, but / imagined every one
looking at mo and thinking. "'rhere
goes Phoebe Parsons with hoop skirt, 4"
and was sure should be watched,
and some one would see me throw away
the package, and would examine 1t and
the story would get all over tho town,
and so walked back with 1t and put it
carefully away In the garret; and l
have put more with It, and now there
arc nine Of these skeleton skirts in our
house.

fided my trouble to her. 49," says she,

forty, and Jane Stuart has about as ma
ny, and no one knows what to do with
them; but hired our black cook to
carry mine off for half a dollar" I
have since tl,en been trying to think of
some one l could hire to carry mine
away. l have asked the washerwon,an
and several beggar women, but they all

Plain Talk.

The following letter from Mr.. +.
Johnson, II respected citizen of Phila-
deiphia, explains itself. 1t suggests
some very plain truths for the consider
alton of his Excellency, which will set
him to rubbing his brains, to arouse his
spirits to conjure up another midnight
dispatch:
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 0, 1866
His EfccNency Andy johnson, P,esi-
dent ofthe United States, Washington,
| ID. g.. r. .. - 49, -, '
SIR:-I am this day in receipt of a
communication from the Commissioner
of Customs, the Hon. N. Sergeant, sta
ting that you have been pleased to ap-
point mo to the Office of Collector of
Customs for the District of Philadel-
phia; and enclosing official bonds in
blank.
herewith return the same, declin-
Ing the profiercd honor, believing that
in accepting the Office would be COM
PEELED to endorse your policy of recon-
struction, to the sacrifice of long cher
ished principles. The honorable gem
tleman now the incumbent of said Of
flee, distinguished alike for his patriot
ic devotion to the country, bis integrity
and high moral worth, is dc .fncto and
dc jure collector of this port until tho
next Congress gives its advice and con-
sent to the appointment of his success
sor, Notwithstanding any regulations
which John Tyler might have chosen
to intcrpolate upon tho constitutional
law. And cannot, as law-abiding
and loyal citizen, lend my sanction to
an act which, to speak mildly, savors of
usurpation.
] fear, sir, that your action in rcmov-
ing good, true, and loyal citizens from
Office Tin which they have been duly
and legally installed), without the JUS
tification of the high constitutional law
of the land; denying and refusing the
right of pcaceable asscmblage to loyal
citizens, and granting unto the rebel
population Of the South and the North
all they have ever claimed whilst In re.
bellion, will have tendency to hurl
again upon the country the scenes Of
tumuit and bloodshed from which we
had supposed ourselves happily and for
ever emerged.
Trusting our citizens shall not be fur
ther annoyed by the meddling, unscru-
pulous politicians who insist upon my
appointment to position for which /
have never been an aspirant, and do
not feel myself competent to fulfil the
duties OF, | remain respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
w. r. JOHNSON.
