FORTRESS MONROE, Sept. 2l.-The experiment
of providing white labor for the productive but
most neglected fields o agriculture in the
Southern States, Is about to fairly inaugurated
in Virginia with gratifying prospects of success.
The immigration which Is necessary to provide
the elements OF this reorganization in the
system of labor, is not destined TO be drawn
from the Northern States by inviting remune-
rating, though hazardous investments of capital,
or inducements held out to adventurers and
spectators; but from the more permanent and
solid sources of wealth and prosperity CLEANED
from the overcrowded population of the Old
World. Gen j. e. Tochman, ofthe Virginia Emf
grafton Society, has arrived in Norfolk as the
European agent of the State, with the chief
object of ascertaining the probabilities of
making that port the rendezvous or headquar-
ters of numerous Polish families, who are ex-
pected shortly to migrate. Twelve hundred
emigrants are confidently expected the coming
season. number, already arrived in Spott-
sylvania, have commenced farming and cultivat-
ing the lands.
The next Legislature, with wise foresight to
the future interests of the State, will probably
appropriate such sums IN aid of the enterprise
as its importance deman ds. The individual
contributions have reached a considerable sum,
and the reception of the emigrants already
arrived have inspired its projectors with cond-
dence as to the success of the undertaking.
Many neglected estates, laid waste by the war,
and continued in their desolation by the want
their former fruitfnlness and industry and fru-
gality usurp the place OF incidence aud mis-
management. The citizens of the State look
with interest upon this great movement, and
expect to reap great benefit from this influx of
strangers from abroad.

hope that these laws, which devote first

tions from which proceeded the Federal con-

the great task of the Confederation could only
be accomplished by accommodating through
reciprocal advances, special interests to those of
a more general and national character.
This same conviction has found expression in
the discussion of the Federal Council, and will,
/ confidently believe, form the basis of your
deliberations. With this thought honored gen.
