THEIR NEW HOME.
For more than week the arrival OF the uauss'
from Bremen, had been anxiously expected anu
more than once, misled by specous rumor' oui
German f ftuow-citzens have waited on the Whar'eS
for tie promised ship. Hope deferred had nauo
those weary who had eagerly looked for some ue"i
face left years ago in Fatherland, but yesteruA''
their wishes were realized, and the good sup
Gauss was known to be in sight. Nor were .ho'o
who awaited cousin, sister, friend or pro'nei'
alone desirous of giving the newcomers heai9
reception. There was feeling throughout lne
community that the strangers should nave !"
pleasant first impression OF our city by the sea,
and that for them the day Of their ARRIVAL snouiu
be day OF Thanksgiving indeed.
THE ARRIVAL.
The Gauss hove in sight at about eien'
o'clock Yesterday morning, but meeting tue eDo
tide anchored about mile West OF Fort sumter
This was seen from the city, and the tug Cnrls-
tiana went down Immediately to ascertain II any
assistance was required. The Captain aVai-
ed himself of the opportunity, and the uausS
was towed by the Christiana to South Atian1ic
Wharf.
| In the meanwhile the report had spread through
the city that the Gauss had entered the haroor'
One by one, and in groups Of four and hve, the
citizens hurried down to the wharf, and, long De-
fore the bark had come alongside, the wharves
| were thronged with curious and eager people
At II o'clock the Gauss came slowly up. o'er
the side rail were peeping host OF bright laces'
and, now and again, handkerchief waved from
| the shin and answered from the shore showed that
one dear friend had recognized another, or some
kindly German had caught glimpse OF form he
had missed for many day. In quiet, earnest pa
thos the scene was beyond description. Inc lm-
migrants hailed gladly the end OF their VOYAGE
and those who were pressing their hands, OF KISS
ing their cheeks, felt moisture in their eyes and
a 10Y in their brea ats that had been unknown Tor
years. So was the welcome Of the immigrants
warm one: so was their greeting as cordial as it
could have been.
THE BARK GAUSS.
The Gauss is bark of 600 or 700 tons, and had
traded to this port before the war; She is in every
way staunch and seaworthy vessel, and has the
following officers:
H. wIETING, Captain
G. CLEAVtR, First Mate.
- SCHELLING. Second Mate
F. BLUM. Steward
Captain Wieting was highly esteemed in Charles
ton before the war, as an experienced and prudent
seaman; but he, until yesterday, had not sailed
here since 1860. For twenty years he had been
known in this port, and had commanded the
Bremen barks Johann Friedrich and Copernicus.
THE VOYAGE.
The whole number Of immigrants is 1872 and 1t
has been learned, with pleasure, that the accom-
modations we're ample for them. Their fare was
good and abundant, and their only trouble was
frequent recurrence Of that malady peculiar 10
those who g down to the sea in ships, steamers
or sailing boats. The weather was excellent al
though calms were rather too frequent During
the trip, which was forty-nine days from Bremen
and forty days from Lizard Point, the passengers
amused themselves with singing and such recrea-
tons as can be imp1ovised on shipboard. Inc
men, faithful to their pipes, went for'ard and
smoked when other resources failed; and the
women gossiped and sewed and talked over and
discussed what was best to be done when they
reached Carolina.
DEATH.
Only one casualty occurred during the voyage.
Mrs. Doria Siemer, an estmable lady, was <attack-
ed with lockjaw and died. Her funeral was per-
formed with all the solemnity that attaches to
burial at sea- but her untoward death, which oc-
CURED on the 18th October, threw veil of gloom
over the whole ship. This, however, gradually
wore away, and, when the Gauss arrived, nearly
all aboard were in excellent health and buoyant
spirits.
THE nfMIaRANTs.
Those who are now adopted citizens Of this
State, and who two days ago were riding over the
long Atlantic swell have not come TO Carolina with
the expectation Of finding on this Southern shore
new Ell Dorado. The greater part have come out
in order to join their relatives and friends, who
we're already settled amongst us; and nearly all
have occupations already provided for them. They
are mostly artisans and mechanics, and will, 1t is
hoped, be the forerunners Of tens of thousands OF
hardy agricultural laborera.
THE WELCOME.
Cordially, heartily and earnestly does the State
of Carolina give greeting to her German chill
dren. She has known,-iu war and peace,-the
thrift, the courage, the patience and the solid
strength OF those whose fortunes have long been
united with her own; and now she welcomes
others of the same race and blood as warmly as
she has cherished those who have already been
| trusted, tried and proved. Carolina rejoices in
this new accession TO her strength, and wishes to
each and every one heartfelt God-speed!
