Middle and Western States. The acclimated
Northern laborer, farmer, planter and busi-
ness man, and not the raw European, should be
looked to, to furnish the labor and the capital
needed in the South. The European should
fill up the gaps caused by this migration in the
North and West The disordered political and
social condition of the South, also, falls
much more lightly upon citizens from the North
ern States than upon the entire stranger, who,
ignorant of the Language, cannot even make
himself understood.
''We therefore advise Germans, more es
pecially for the present, not to settle in any OF
the Southern States, that have recently suffered
BY the war, nor indeed in any of the slave states
Maryland and West Virginia alone excepted,
unless the emigrants intend to settle in any Of
their cities.
ssThere is always risk in contracts for labor,
on the other side Of the Atlantic, and VIC
strenuously advise against it. The emigrant
should carefully husband his cash, so that, in
case judicious and reliable friends have not
preceded him, he may remain a few days in
the port where he lands, and, if he have no &C.
quaintances there, worthy of confidence, he
may seek advice of the Germon Society, or of
some reliable agency, in reference to some
point of destiny, suited to his circumstances
and his means, where he may either remain
for while, or take up his permanent abode" t"

GERMAN IMMIGRANTS.

In view Of the steps taken by our Legislature
to induce an influx of foreign labor, the follow
ing article, translated from the N. !. Staats
Zeituag, the leading German organ in the coun-
try. may not be uninteresting to our readers;
as it will show the great counteracting agency
exerted both in the North and in Europe and
the corresponding difficulties our agents will
have to cope with.
After giving its reasons for anticipating
great increase of emigrants from Germany to
the United States, the Stats Zeitung says:
"It is clearly our duty to assist these imml-
grants with honest and unbiased counsel, IN
the choice of their future home, and this the
more because Of the number of States and Ter
ritories, to whose interest it is,-nay, which
find it necessary, to attract immigrants or set
tiers. Not only the new States, and develop
ing territories of the West and Southwest;
not only the ten unreconstructed Southern
States, but also the so-called Border States
Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia
aud Maryland-all stand in need of the means
and muscle of these expected immigrants, and
are desirous of obtaining them. Many of these
States and Territories have sent their special
agents to Europe, if possible, to make contracts
with emigrants or migrant-agencies That
small parties of .emigrants have, under such
circumstances, been enticed to Sc :""s of this
country not suitable for them from political,
social or climatic considerations, and that
others should have fallen into the hands of
selfish and unprincipled brokers, and, in one
way or another, deceived, must be considered
as matter of course, amid such want OF, and
chase after, immigrants and settlers. And no
less certain is it that, unless repetitions OF
such occurrences are prevented, it must act
prejudicially upon immigration, and very much
lessen the stream of this greatly desired addi-
ton to our population"
1t then quotes u paragraph from the New
York Times, in which it is stated that in Loulsi-
ana, and other parts of the South where Ger
mans had been employed on plantations, they
had complained of neglect and bad treatment.
The Staats zeitung then proceeds:
''lt is unnecessary to stop and consider
these charges, which we do not now meet for
the first time. For our present purpose 1t
matters.not whether they are true wholly, or
only in part. Laborers coming fresh from Eu-
rope should not be sent to the South, but to the

esrHE LATE RIOT IN CHARLESTON"

ecTHE LATE RIOT IN CdAhAhsAoN'
We regret very much to see the Assoc'a'eu
Press lending itself to sensational kilograms
which can only do mischief:
The telegram in reference to disturbance
in the streets of this city, after the adjournment
Of the mass meeting Of colored people, is an in
stance. It concludes thus;
sconsiderable excitement prevails throughout
the city and grave apprehensions OF Iurtner tfou-
ble."
Now this disturbance was one OF those Incl
dents which might have happened in the skirts
of any large crowd. It was not known o hum
dred yards from the spot where it occurred
and was quieted without difficulty and without without
violence or resistance. No good can come OF
this sort of sensation manufacture. The coun-
try is watching with anxiety everything
happening here which can be made to support
partv theories either way, and no wise purpose
is served by exaggerating every little dlstur-
bance into riot, and inducing people to sup
pose that this city is not quietly attending TO
its own business. All our citizens are showing
good sense and good temper, and we prefer to
have the credit of it.
We hope all our exchanges who have pub
lisked the telegram in question, will also pub
lish this correction. s-,.. ,45..-- .:, -. :.

THE EDITORIAL. PROFESSION.

DR., LEHMANN, the editor of the Magazine to'
Foreign Literature, published in Berlin, ut re-
cent festive gathering, in honor of the compile
tion Of the 10th volume Of that magazine, de-
livered an interesting speech en- the vocation
and the duties Of journalism, from which we
translate the following extract: ...ssss
Scu1LIER's celebrated line "Dem A'"'ea
FLIGHT die Naehwslt ksiae Kr@aze" {fame twines
no lasting wreaths upon the mimic brow, J Is
more applicable to the Journalists than to the
artists who nightly tread the, scenic stage
For while every history. of the drama delights
in singing the praises Of TAIMA, MARS, GAR
RICK, s1DDoNs, EcKHor, IrFLAHD, ' FREDER1KA ERIK
BErKMANH, and others,-not; 9 single one OF
our many histories of literature even names
those journalists Of the golden period OF our
literature, who came up to the full measure OF
the requirements Of their time, and thus, BY
the poet's dictum, have lived for all time The
yocation of the journalist, in the service OF
literature, science, or politics, not untrequentiy
REQUIRES more mental labor, and greater sac
rifce of time and strengthen mere total abne-
cation Of all the pleasures of life, than the
pursuit of many other writer's, who are re-
warded with more than contemporary fame.
This is easily explained. The journalist, whose
mental power is necessarily divided, whose at
tention is directed upon widely diversified OBJ
iects, is rarely permitted to concentrate his IN
d,,stry, his entire energies, upon one point
and produce perfect work, which. would
merit place in history Of the literature OF
his time. i;
The journalists work is never completed. 1t
is finished with every evening, only to recon-
mence with the following morning. 1t may
be ikened to river, running from
its source in the rock to the great
sea, shedding freshness and beauty as it
passes along, to gladden. the heart OF
msn,-carries his ships on its bosom, increases
his wealth, and bestows blessings and benefits
innumerablc, but which, in return for all these
services, receives neither thanks nor praise.
But still the journalist continues his faithful,
plodding task, taking as little heed Of the
neglect and ingratitude Of man as does the
grand and placid river. If he can but con-
tribute his mite toward the great end oil jour
nalism,-the amelioration, mental, physical,
and political, of his race,-hc feels that he
has not lived in vain but hos left his footprints
on the sands of time.
