A Sensible Rebel,

A Georgia merchant writes TO friend in
New York as follows:
"We are not sorry TO learn that Mr..
johnson is to be removed from Office But
for him, this State and half dozen others
would have followed Tennessee in accepting
the Constitutional Amendment, by which
we should have been represented at Wash
ington twelve months since. The evils Mr..
Johnson has inflicted upon the South by
his eferts TO thwart the views of Congress
have been second only TO the spoliations of
war; but, depend upon it, within sixty
days after his removal we shall have a
gradual return Of quiet and prosperity
throughout the South: Remember what l
say"

immigration as an Increase Of State
Wealth.

Few persons who have passed their lives in
the Southern States, which were Stunned prior to
rebellion by the larger portion of foreign immi-
grants look upon the Introduction of that element
adding aught to the State save more population
But this is very partial and imperfect view of the
matter. Immigrants generally poor people
nevertheless, their combined wealth, to say nothing
of their labor makes large addition annually to
the national wealth. If Tennessee had the same
density of population 10 the square mile that Ohio
has, che would have nearly 100000 of souls, so
that capacity for the reception Of immigration
is very large. The annual report Of the Secretary
Of the Interior furnishes us with some data, by the
aid of which we may at least approximate to our
estimste Of the value Of this contribution to our
wealth. The following table shows the immigration
during the third quarter of 1857 the latest quarter
Of which full returns had been furnished by the Bu
reau of Statistics. 1t will repay close study

Meeting OF Merchants and Capitalists
To Day al the Chamber Of Commerce
The Question Of a New Line, North
- .zo,,fE, t,t "a NevV SEtnna

Meeting OF Merchants and Capitalists
To Day at the Chamber Of Commerce
rho Question Of a Neu Lime, North
and south, far New shape.
The arrival of Col. Thurston, President
of the Pacific and Atlantic telegraph Com
pany, and A. o. Brannin, Esq, the repre-
sentative Of the Southern line, in the city
yesterday gives assurance that the work of
extending the new line South ia in the
hands Of practical men, and will soon be
put through. It is known generally that
some two or three years ago, all the tele-
graph lines in the Union we're merged into
one company, and that that company en-
ioyed for time the entire monopoly Of
the telegraph business Of the country. Soon.
however, a new company, iirst above named,
was organized, and erected lines, beginning
al Pittsburg and extending West. This
lire has been successful in two respects-
constantly extending and constantly pay
ing. Il has declared an average dividend
Of ten per cent from its inception, and has
accumulated a handsome surplus The
Southern line, of which Gen. Kirby Smith
was lately the President, has been consoli-
dated into the Pacific and Atlantic, on
terms favorable to both, and the visit Of
Messrs. Thurston and Brannin 10 Nash
vile, is 10 arrange for the immediate ex-
tension Of the line to Nashville. After
conference with many Of our leading
citizens, meeting is called for 103
O'clock This morning, at the Chamber
Of Commerce, 10 solicit subscription OF
stock in the enterprise We hope il
will be well attended. The capitalist
can find no more certainly profitable in
yestment, as the company is already paying
10 per cent. dividends. BY the competition
IL will create, the business men will save in
their expenditures, in one year, more than
enough to make the proposed extension.
The general public is interested, since all
enterprise centering here enhances our city
values. The telegraph is the symbol Of
activity and speed, and the great want Of
this country is more Of it. Business was
greatly increased by the reduction Of post |
age alone, and now If we could 30 multiply |
telegraphs as to bring the rates within the |
reach Of all the effect would be tremendous, |
while the different companies would mate |
rally increase their earnings through the
vast increase Of business. We look upon
this enterprise as one in which the body of |
the people are interested, and should have |
their earnest attention. The telegraph !
themselves are deeply interested, |
not as rivals, but as business agents striving |
10 multiply messages till everybody may |
send and receive them.
We again urge general turn out of our |
citizens to the meeting this morning, when |
The subject in all It's bearings will be pre-
sented by the very capable gentlemen who |
have it in hand.
