IMMIGRANTs-THEY BEGIN TO COME
General Imboden, Domestic State Agent
of immigration, having established an office
in New York, under charge of Colonel
Page, bis partner, and secured booth at
Castle Garden, commenced operationsa few
days ago. Last week they supplied orders
for able-boded men; and the Niagara,
which arrived last night, brought number
of both sexes to fill orders sent on last week
from parties in Richmond, Henrico, Ches-
terfeld, Prince George, Augusta, and
Albemarle. We understand orders are
coming in very rapidly from the country /;
and from the stagnation Of business in the
North, the New York partner in this enter
prise, Colonel Page wrtes tl"' h9 20" fll
ordors to the number of thousands with
tirst-rate men and women at very reason
able rates of wages.
The parties who have inaugurated this
enterprise here have established. direct
official relations with the New York Board
of Immigration, thus affording an opportu-
nifty to every family to get rid of worthless
negroes, and obtain good white laborers at
little if any moro cost.

AMERICAN CHERRY OR MTATT VINE
Mr.. George Freeman, of Ohio, favors Us
with o bottle Of wine manufactured from
a species of Rheum, commonly known IN
VIRGINIA as "pie plant" We have stopped
drinking ourselves-wouldn't touch drop
for the rest of the bottle () but several
friends who gathered around as soon as the
cork was drawn pronounced this article
frst-class.
Although only few months old, TINS
wine is very fine, and of flavor equal TO
the best Madeira. 1t is Mr.. Freeman's
purpose to introduce its manufacture into
Virginia. He believes that the wine plant
will make from 5000 to 5000 gallons OF
pure wine, worth from $3.50 to S. per gal
lon, from the product of one acre Of ground
the first year after planting.
Mr.. Freeman is now stopping at the val
entine House, and will be happy to give
visitors any information concerning tht
subject.

A DEAD-BEAD IN DISGUISE.-A gentle
man in the express business gives us the fol.
lowing account Of q sharp Yankee trick
Several days ago pious missionary
from the land Of steady habits and wooden
nutmegs, who, with q generous spirit of
self-denial, is devoting himself to labors
among the freedmen Of North Carolina,
applied at On express Office on the Will
mington and Weldon railroad to know what
would be the freight on cast-iron pump,
which he wished to send "to hum" in
Vermont. The rates were promptly given,
and the missionary departed. Shortly after,
he returned with long box, carefully
marked with the address Of the consignee,
and the words cast iron in bold characters
on the corner.
The freight was paid, and the long box
deposited on the cars. Soon it was
hurrying over the rails, and reached Nor
folk in safety. Here some change was ne
cessary in the mode of transportation.
The clerks, in looking over the way-bill,
were unable to decide whether the blurred
letters spelled piano or pump. A dispute
arose bets were made; and finally they
decided to open the box. The boards were
carefully knocked off, when there was ex-
posed to view neither rosewood nor cast
iron, but dead body packed in saw
dust!
Investigation by agents of the express
company revealed the fact that CO.
laborer of the New England missionary bad
departed this life, requesting, on his death
bed; that his bones be forwarded to loyal
Vermont for interment. This duty de-
volved upon the friend Of the deceased,
who, upon a comparison of the rates
charged for carrying freight, found that
the tariff on dead bodies was pretty high,
and that on cast iron about as low as on
else. With true Yankee cum
ming, he devised the trick, which, had it
been successful, would have saved him,
perhaps, at least two dollars
