IMMIGRATION.

We doubtif the people of this section Of the
State realize the importance of the movement inau-
gurltedby the Legislature last.winter, looking to
The introduction Of foreigners into our midst The
able and Intelligent Commissioner Gen. john A.
WxGESER, has issued circular to the landowners
of the State, urging upon them the immediate and
concerted action necessary to carry this scheme
into successful operation His practical sugges
,ions are we'll worthy of attention, and we take
pleasure in giving circulation to his address among
the farmers and planters of thisiDistrict.
Every one can plainly discover the fact that the
laboring population has been steadily decreasing
since the war closed, and in the course of few
years the lands will become entirely worthless un-
less this labor is replaced providcdithnt the Exo-
dus to the West continues in the same ratio. We
are not among those who believe that the result SO
far is disastrous, inthe event that urpcople awake
to an interestin the cause of immigration. The
negro is permanent cause of turmoil and distrac-
ton in political point Of view, and his presence
amongst Us cannot be fruitful of peace and perfect
harmony introduction of honest, hardy and
industrious foreigners VIII insure strength and

the material advantages of the country, and their
examples of industry viii stimulate others to an
appreciation of the necessity to labor diligently to
achieve success The influx of foreigners, too,
will improve our worn-out lands, increase their
value, and supply the country with all the necessa-
ries of life. We have too many non-prodncers,
and entirely too few whose object is to develope
our vast resources, and produce sustenanoe for
beast These difficulties have TO be met, and the
advantages limited at must be secured in one way
or another. The proposition is too self-evdent 10
admit of argument, and We respectively submit to
the landowners ofths District that they should at
once unite in the manner proposed, and furnish
the Commissioner Of immigration with statement
of any surplus lands they have to dispose of, either
10 lease rent or sell. We invite attention to the
circular of Gen. WAGESEn on our fourth page, and
where neighborhoods do not take the matter under
advisement, rs he suggests, individuals should at
once communicate with him. giving in detail the
quantity and character Of their lands, the price
per acre, situation, distance from rnilroad and any
other information requisite TO clear understand
ing of the facts in the case. We will clccrrully
render any assistance within our power to chose
desirous of disposng of any portion of their lands
to the thriving and industrious foreigner.
We shall resume the consideration of this i'm
portant subject in another issue.

SENSIBLE SuGGEsT1oN-A writer in the Lau-
rensvile Herald, over the signature of ''Pro Bono
Publico," makes the following sensible suggestion
10 Railroad Agents, and we are confident that the
officials to whom this suggestion is addressed will
take due notice and govern their actions accord
ingly:
MEssns EDlTons: Owing to the pressing ncccs-
sites of the country, wise and just discrmna-
ton ought to be exercised by Railroad Agents, as
10 the class of goods, which requires the most cx-
pedtious transportation, and whilst it is right t'at
all men should enjoy equal facilities in rhe trans
portation afforded by railroads, the peculiar exl-
rencies of the times imperatively demand that
preference should be given to Corn, on which man
apd beast live, and for short while Gunno-as 1t
is needed to put on the crop now planted This
condi,esaof things it is to be hoped, will not con-
tinue more than three fonr months. The COM
munitv will be greatly benefited if generous
svmuathy is evinced by shippers in yielding to the
transit of corn for the smstenance ofman and beast
This is written for the express purpose Of calling
Tho attention of Railroad Officials to the pressing
demands of the whole country, and hope it may
have the desired effect.

AUGUSTA, April ia mass meeting of freed
men was held to-day, at which about 1000 were
present After organization, preamble and re-
solutions were read, the substance of which is
that the loyal citizens of Georgia should give
united and continued support to the Union and the
Republican party that there should be no dislinc-
ton on account ofrace or color in the enjoyment
of political rights that the right TO vote gives the
right to sit on juries; that corporcal punishment
should be abolished, bcinga relic of barbarism;
THAT the widows and orphans of those who died in
crushing the rebellion entitled to the nations
protection and gratitude that the national debt
is a sacred obligation.
]. T. Shelton (colorcd) spoke in support of
the resolutions, but his remarks were ccnserya-
tive.
Gov johnson understood the object Of the meet
ing to be for the purpose of advising and consult
ing with the colored people, in order to form
common platform, on which white and black could
secure equal justice before the law, and work in
harmony together. He was surprised to find that
the meeting was called for party purposes, and
therefore spoke reluctantly and under dsadgan-
tagcs. Had he known that programme had been
previously arranged, he would not be present
Being politely invited, however ae did not feel at
liberty to decline. He spoke rot for the purpose
of defeating the object of the resolutions, but with
the hope of devising for the hest interests of the
colored race lie advised them 10 be sober, indus
trous, and to exercise the right af franchise judi
ciousy; to avoid wicked and designing men, who
arc in our midst to SOW the seeds of discord and
strife. He believed good and intelligent white
men at the South would do justice to the negroes.
He would do oil in his power to improve the race
in the social and political scale. There is and
should be no antagonism between the raccs-their
interests ere the same, and there should be mutual
confidence and harmony; and he earnestly hoped
both races would be friends and co-laborers i'll
working out the great problem of regeneration of
the South.
Judges Starncs and Killiarl followed, in favor
of harmony and good feeling.
Simon Beard and other color,d speakers favored
iqc Republican party and the passage sf resolu-
tions supporting that party.
The preamble and resolutions were adopted.
Many inteligen; colorcd meu disapprove the spirit
of the resolutions, but the meeting was very har-
monious.

to Imprisonment, in the Pcnitentiary for OF
