The ship Gauss, from Bremen, with the
first bate sh$ofg German immigrants, arrived in
I'm Charleston, on Thursday From a detailed
ucsu 40 uaSunt In tlios" News,p we make tho follow
ing extracts :ss
The Gauss hove in sight at about 8 o'clock,
notwithstanding but meeting tho obb tide,
anchored saboutia milo West of Fort Sumter.
This was Sseen from the city, and the tug
Christiana went down Immediately to ascertain I
Z If anyassistancc was required. The Captain
\ ayailcd5 himself Of the opportunity, and the
y Gausswa towcd by thcsC sChristin'a to South
Atlantic wharf.
"a ntho meanwhile, tho report had spread
through tho city. that the Gauss had entered
the harbor. One by QUO, aud in groups of
y four and five, the citizens hurried down to the /
\ wharf, aud long before the bark had come
alongside, tho wharvcs wore thronycd With Gu
4 rious aud eager people.
S5 At IL o'clock, the Gauss came slowly up
S Over tho side rail wero pceping host of
i bright faces, and, now and again, a handkcr-
IS chief waved from the ship and answered from
shore, showed TINT one dear friend had rccog

caught glimpse Of form he had missed for
many a day. In quiet, earnest pathos the
beeno was beyond description The mni-
I grants hailed gladly the end Of their voyage
d and those who were pressing their hands, or
a,kissing their checks, felt moisture in their
II ewes aud Joy in their breast, that had been
unknown for years. So was the welcome OF
the immgrants warm one; so was thcir
greeting as cordial as it could have been.

only trouble was frequent recurrence OF that
\ maady peculiar to those who 60 down to the
sea in ships, steamers or sailing boats. The
weather was excellent, although calms were
rather too frequent. During the trip, which
was forty-nine days from Bremen and forty
DAYS from Lizard Point, tho passengers
amused themselves with singing and such re-
creations as can be improviscd on ship-board.
The men, faithful to their pipes, went forward
and smoked, when other resources failed; and
the women gossippcd, and scwcd, and talked
over and discussed what was best to be done
whom they reached Carolina.
Cordially, heartily and earnestly does tho
State Of South Carolina give the greeting tc
her German children. She has known-ir
war and peace-thc thrift, the courage, th'
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 thos
who have already been trusted, tried an'
proved. Carolina reioiccs i'll this new acccs
sion to her strength, and wishes to each ant
cvcry enc heartfelt God speed.
