Foreign Emigration.


munication, His Excellency the
Governor has appointed Gen:
Wagner Of Charleston, the Com
missioner Of Emigration, and that
gentleman will doubtless enter
upon the discharge Of his duties 1T
once. There is no officer Of the
State who is now invested with
graver responsibilities or who
possesses the power Of making
himself felt in every household,
more. than the Commissioner of
Emigration. Much, however, de-
pends upon the manifestation of
the Influences that may be brought
to bear upon both the planter and
the emigrant, to create that re-
ciprocal interest which is essen.
tial to the success Of the under:
taking.
On the one hand, it will become
the duty of General Wagner to
prepare publications in various
languages which shall embody
facts that are attractive to the
emigrant, and will dispose his
mind to seek the fertile fields of
the South where a market is at
his door, in preference to the
broad and distant prairies Of the
West and by his agents to cause
these to be circulated, if practi-
cable, not alone in the interior of
Europe, but on every ship which
leaves a foreign port freighted
with those who are to cast their
lot in the future with the people
of the New World. 1t will be his
task also to counteract the in
fuences Of more powerful rivals
from the North and West; to pro
vide, Unnecessary, free transporta-
tion across the ocean, and to offer
inducements that will prevail.
On the other hand, the inhabi-
tants of the State must second the
efforts of the Commissioner. With
out their cooperation, his office
will be fruitless. They must en-
able him to declare at home and
abroad, what is the will and ability
Of the State with reference to the
foreign emigrant. To this end,
meetings ought to be held at once
in every Court House, at which,
the planters shall Unite in offering
lands, facilities and employment
to the stranger upon our shores.
That community in South Caro-
lima which takes the lead n this
movement, and shows the largest
amount Of public spirit, will soon
est reap the benefit. tits all inn
portant that action shall be taken
at once, for time is short, the ap-
preparation is small, and Gen.
Wagener desires to proceed with
his duties at the earliest possible
moment.-CoZumNa CdrQlihiah.

An exchange states that in Chicago
and Cincinnati, the dull season is the
very carnival of advertising. The peo-
pie are sharp enough to perceive that
advertising makes business brisk and
the man who does it most largely and
judiciously, knows the least about "dull
times"

his moath pipe, and was smoking. The Gen.

Cattle and sheep as Graziers.

--'r Cattle and sheep as Graziers.
In discussing 4 recent paper by Mr..
Hope on: Cattle Feeding, the London Econ
omist remarks
1.-THE following indicates disaivan-
tage in grazing sheep as compared with
cattle: AS rule, animals generally eat
in proportion to their live weight, but
this is modif d by their ago and condi-
ton. 1t has even been found that if ten
sheep weigh the same as orc OK. they will
consume daily the same quantity lof tur-
nips {; though it is curious that a piece of
grass that will maintain an OK grazing will
not keep more than six sheep That
sheep kept in great numbers on meadows
will soon diminish the quantity of grass
produced, is fact which we have again
verified. '"' ''' 10.
And many years ago, when going over
bis farm with the late Mr. Henry Over
man, he referred to diminution in the
produce OF his mes lows. which he lid
had been over-sheepcd.' In HEREFORD
shire, on the strong loans, we always
found the hay crops to be disapp ointing
wherever sheep were much fed on the
meadows. Cattle for meadows, and sheep
for arabic lands and upland pastures,
seems to be, in a general way tho prac-
tiral rule for stock farming" o.. Y
