to the front Of the City Hall, on the
South side Of the Potomac, and on
commanding emincncc, an editice,
which, at the distance Of three miles
from the point of vision, resembles
a Greek temple. This is Arlington
House, the residence, before the war,
of General Robert T. Lee. The
Arlington estate Was one Of The largest,
bandsomest and most valuable in
Virginia. At an carly period Of the
war, the mansion was stripped cf

Foreign immigration.

1t is known that our Legislature, at its
late session, took steps for the encour
agement Of immigration from Europe,
and made an appropriation for the pur-
pose of meeting the expense incident to
this encouragement. Gen. Wagner. of
Charleston, native of the continent,
and a man whose extensive acquaintance
with the character, and condition of the
laboring classes of Europe; and also with
the present wants of our own land, emil
nently qualify him for the position, has
been appointed the principal officer ofthis
bureau, and more recently Mr.. W. j.
Ferloo, native of Copenhagen, received
from His Excellcncy Gov. Orr, the ap-
pointment of Agent of Immigration.
On recent visit to Columbia, We had
the pleasure of meeting the latter gentle
man, from whom We obtained the follow
ing facts in relation to the conditions OF
engagement &C., for laborers, which he
proposes to obtain for farmers and those
desiring them in time for labors of
1868.
Tic planter or other as the case may
be, is to secure by Factors acceptance in
Charleston the amount Of passage money !;
say twenty-five or thirty dollars in gold,
payable upon the arrival of laborers en-
gagged, which is to be deducted from the
wages at the expiration of the FIRST years
services. Laborers to receive at the rate
Of one hundred and fifty dSiiars per an
nun, and y. 8. rations. House servants,
cooks, and female servants generally,
one hundred dollars and found. The
wages of. the employees to commence
from the date of their arrival at the plan
tation, and to continue until year from
the first day of January following; (this
is based upon the supposition that they
will arrive in the falD, half the wages to
be paid monthly, the other half to be re-
served as security for the refunding of
passage money, and each head Of a fam
lily to receive, in addition to his wages
andquartcrs, half an acre of ground for
gardening and other purposes. Mr.. Fer
loo will visit the capital Of our District
in the course of ten or fifteen days, in
order to receive the orders Of any of our
citizens who may be desirous of availing
themselves of his agency, and I bring
these facts before the people that they
may be the better prepared to act after
due deliberation. Let some of our prom
inent men move in this matter, that

Wednesday Morning, April II, 1867.
Paw for it Before you Take It.

= "Put money in thy purse" honestly if
you can, if not put it there any how.
Doubtful advice certainly. 1t was given
by some old curmudgeon to his son; it
related to money however and not to
newspapers, but it seems as if some
people apply it to both money and news
papers. Scarcely week but we are
called upon by one or more subscribers
with the request that we change their
papers to some other Office, in the hope
that By so doing they may receive it
more regularly, although perhaps in
most instances the distance to the Office
to where the request is made to send it is
greater than the other. Let US give the
reason for this. The parties complaining
tell US that their papers are taken out by
others, with the promise to the P. Master
to deliver them to the rightful owners,
but in the majority Of cases the papers
are kept, read and handed from one to
another, until when itreaches its proper
owner it is several days, a week, or two
weeks old, and in some instances does
not reach them atall. Now is this right,
just or honest? Assurealy not; it is
hard to say just what it is, bat it looks
very much like taking that which belongs
to another. Our subscribers pay for and
expect to receive their paper in due time,
it belongs to them, and no one has a
right tcc .cc It but them, If the paper is
worth reading it is worth paying for,
and the man who rcads,without regularly
subscribing and paying for it, commits a
fraud both to the subscriber who has
paid US and to ourselves. We trust that
the practice will be discontinued. While
reading this, let US exhort you, friend,
for ten chances to one you are sponger
or may be pilferer of the very paper you
are reading, to determine at once and
honestly subscribe, it will help you in
the end. your conscience can be very
cheaply set at ease, s. will make a man
of you for one whole year! Think otit.

- We take pleasure in recommending
such Hotels to the public. The, follow
ing item from the Charleston Courier
speaks our opinion precisely:
The Planters Hotel Of Augusta has,
under the auspices of that Prince of hosts,
Col T. s. NickerSon, become one of the
most popular and, we'll kept establish
.meuts in the whole South. Nor are We.
surprised at this, as the experience Of
Col. Nickerson in the management of the
Mills House of this city for a number of
years, and lately of his own hotel in
Columbia, has been of a character to
famiiiarize him perfectly with the expecta-
+ tions and wants of the travelling public.
- The ssPlanters' has always been
fayerite resort, but since it has fallen
under, the management Of its present
proprietor the eonveniences and comfort
which it provides for its guestsa second
to none offered by any Hotel, south of
New York. -. - -.
Il has been thoroughly renovated and
repaired, its furniture and appointments
are entirely new and of the best descrip-
ton, its tables groan with the choicest
.~yiands which the markets of Augusta
afford, and its servants arc ever polite,
accommodating and attentive. Amongst
the assistants of. Col. NickerSon in the
executive part of the establishment are,
DR.. L. G. Duncan, who is personally
known to most of our citizens by his
business connection, in past years, and
Messrs. 1. S. Morris andJ. A. Goldstein,
Z who are natives of Augusta and no less
copyersant with their business than
energetic aud courteous in its discharge.
In . word the Hotel is all thatit should
be, in es cry particular, and We take great
pleasure in recommending it to those of
our readers who may visit Augusta and
wish to be handsomely entertained.

as railroad is great public servant, it
is meet and right to give expression to
