three hundred thousand imtnis

In 1866, being a considerable in
crease over the year previous. It
is believed that the disafection ina

bles in Ireland, will induce an IN
creased flow Of population to our
shores during the next year; The
Prussian conscription is severe and
offensive, and every steamer from
Hamburg to Bremen, has, among
her passengers large numbers Of
the sturdy young men Of Germany;
who are coming to America to
avoid going into the army.
Can nothing be done to induce
a portion Of these immigrants to
settle in the genial and fertile
States Of the South? We fear our
people arc culpably indifferent to
this golden opportunity to secure
accessions to our population The
Influences which meet these immi-
grants on their arrival naturally
incline them to the West. That
was, perhaps, while slavery exist
cd at the South, a more inviting
field for free labor. Their friends
and countrymen who have preee-
ded them to America have gone
West and prospered. In addition
to these Influences misrepresenta-
tions of the South, of every eharac-
ter, are pressed upon, their atten4
ton by the land and railroad
agents Of the West; and they fok
low the old beaten tract to the far
West-where the hardships Of pio-
neer life and the rigors of a cold
climate await them. We believe
that if proper representations Of
| the price and character of South
ern lands, the advantages of our
sun and soil, and hcalthfulness Of
our climate, were made, that thou
sands and tens of thousands Of
these people could be added to our
population.
Our landholders should form So
cieties or clubs and send agents to
the North or to Europe to meet
these people and present the ad-
vantages of our section in their
true light.-Aagustd Press.

Lost by not taking Country Paper.


Generally speaking but little
Importance is attached to the
taking Of a country newspaper
This neglect and Indifference had
it's practical reward the othor day.
Some time ago gentleman in
this town was appointed auditor
to distribute the funds in the hands
ofan administrator amongst the
creditors. Notice Of the auditor
was published in two ofthe county
papers.
1t SO happened that few crcdi-
tors residing in a certain portion
Of the county who had collectively
claims to the amount Of seven OF
eight hundred dollars, from the
neglect Of taking a county paper
never heard Of the audit until after
the report Of the auditor had been
confirmed by the court. They
then came into town to enquire
about the likelihood Of securing
their claims called upon an attor-
ney, who examined into the mat
ter and informed them that they
had forever lost their money, and
we presume charged them five dol
lars for the information.
All this resulted in being too
penurious or too careless to sub
scribe for q country paper. These
gentlemen have learned 4 lesson
that will last them the balance OF
their lives, and serve as q warn
ing to others who, from tho same
motive, fail to take their district
paper.
There is scarcely man in the
community who will not be caught
up some day on a legal notice, that
docs not take o paper, unless he
clandcstinely reads his neighbor'S
(a practice very extensively in
dulged in by close-fsted penurious
Individuals and every gentleman
should be above literary pilfering
like this.

Immediately started for a hill

Of suffOcation, with his toes upon

THE FUTURE OF THE SOUTH
We utter but trite sentiment
when we say that the future Of
the South is in the hands of its
young men. How many Of them
are qualifying themselves to man
age its factories, control it's rail-
roads, mine it's ore, work it's
machine shops; and cultivate its
plantations? Professional men it
has in abundance-able lawyers,
accomplished physicians; eloquent
speakers. These have their uses,
but the growth of a State depends
less on them than on the character
of the men who manage it's in.
lustrial enterprises. What is
most needed in the South to-day
is, that the young blood which
fought for it so gaIlantly should
work it as determinedly.
On the plantation, in the shop,
in the factory, there the South IS
to effect it's true restoration. The
young mon who dug trenches and
fed on hominy and pork, who
went clad in home:spun gray and
slept in cold, or rain, or shine,
under the canopy of the heavens
to further the fortunes, as they
believed, of their native land, can
now do noble service by laying
hold Of it's plow handles, turning
it's lathes; guiding its spindles,
handling its locomotives. But
there is want of capital. No mat
ter, they have youth, health, hope,
ambition; and good abilities
They have overy incentive for
which to work. Begin with a
will, and success will crown their
efforts.-Ndti0nGl Mtelligencer.

lucky has, since the war, been the
scene of the most atrOcious crimes.
Robberies and murders have be-
como so frequent that at last the
inccnsed community organised a
band for the determination ofthesc
desperadoes, and commenced on
three young men confined in Jail.
The committee, armed with guns,
marched into the town about
11.45 p. m., picketcd the streets,
and arrested all inquisitive citizons.
Tho front door of the Jail was
broken opon. The jailor ran up
stairs and hid himself: Not being
able to find the jailor, the mob at
tempted to break in the iron door
Of the jail with sledge-hammers.
Failing in this, they found the
TAILOR, and forced him to deliver
up the keys. In the meantime,
the prisoners, eight in number,
were awakened by the hammering
at tho door. Fully understanding
the danger that mcnaccd them,
they shriekcd and yelled for help,
and armed themselves with billots
of wood, fully determined to sell
their lives as dear as possible.
When the mob came to the door
Of the dungeon they unlocked it,
and after some parley, part OF
them entered the cell without
resistance. The leader Of the mob
then called for Clem. Crowdus,
VIM. Goode and Tom. Stevens:
who Immediately answered to
their names. AS they delivered
themselves up, the leader said

Advice to the South.

Stand firm. Yield obedience to
the laws now in force, but have
no hand in making others till e7e-
ry State in the Union is represen-
ted on thofoor of Congress. Force
cannot keep you from a roprosen-
tation there you want it and send
men Of your choice, duly elected
by the people. Adopt no 'socal!-
cd" Constitutional Amendments,
for if you arc in no fit condition
to have representation in Congress
you are not fit to adopt any amend
mcnts. The Constitution con-
templates no division Of allcgi-

You fought bravcly-You yield
cd honorably. Do not imporil
yourselves, ourselves, the country
and it's future by rash acts, now.

Read Aloud.

GeaulNS aLOuu Is Olle VI ChOHc
exercises that combine mental and
muscular effort, and hence has q
double advantage. To read aloud
we'll, a person should not only un-
derstand the subject, but should
hear his own voice and feel within
him that every syllable was dis
tinetly enunciated, while there is
an instinct presiding which modu-
lates the voice to the number and
distance Of the hearers. Every
public speaker ought to be able to
tell whether he is distinctly heard
| by the furthest listener in the
room if he is not able to do SO, it
is for want Of proper judgment
and observation.
Reading aloud helps to develop
the lungs just as singing does, if
properly performed. The effect
is to induce the drawing Of q long
breath once in a while, oftcncr and
deeper than that Of reading with
out cnunciating. These deep in
halations never fail to develop the
capacity Of the lungs in direct pro-
portion to, their practice.
Common consumption begins
uniformly with imperfect, INSULT
cicnt breathing; it is the charac-
| teristic of the disease that the
breath becomes shorter and short
er through weary months, down
! to the close of life, and whatever
| counteracts the short breathing,
whatever promotes deeper inspi-
rations is curative to that extent,
inevitable and under all circum,
stances. Let any person make
the experiment by reading this
page aloud, and in less than three
minutes the instinct of a long
breath will show itself. This read
ing aloud develops q weak voice
and makes it sonorous. 1t has
great efficiency, also in making
the tones clear, freeing them from
that annoying hoarseness which
the unaccustomed reader exhibits
before he is gono over half apage
when he has to stop and clean
away, to the confusion of himself
as that ofthe subject.
This loud reading, when proper.
ly done, has great agency in In
ducing vocal power, on the same
principle that muscles are strength
enod by excrciso-those Of voice
making organs being no exception
to the general rule. Hence in
many cases, absolute silence dl,
minishes the vocal power, just As
tho protracted non-uso Of the arm
| of the IIindoo dovotee at length
paralyzcs it forever. The general
plan in appropriate cases, IS to
read aloud in q conversational tone
thrice q day, for a minute or two
or three at a time, increasing q
minute every day, which is to be
continued until the desired object
is accomplished. Managed thus
there is safety and efficiency as a
uniform result.
AS a means, then, of health, Of
avorting consumption, Of being 70:
cal and entertaining in any com
pany, as a means Of showing the
quality Of the mind, let reading
aloud be considered an accom-
plishmont far more indispensable
than that of smattering French, OF
lipsing Italian, or dancing cotil
lions, gallopades, polkas and quad
rillos.-H0ZlS Journal.
