The passengers are mostly from East Prus-
sia, but there are a few Danes and also some
Bohemian peasants. They are generally
healthy and robust, and their appearance on
on the streets yesterday, with their stout
figures, ruddy compilations and remarkable cos
tunes, created quite sensation. The women,
With their heads covered with worsted caps,
and especially the Bohemians with their short
petticoats, red stockings and wood "a shoes,
were the observed OF all observers. The pas
sengers have been very Hospitality received, q
large crowd awaiting their arrival at the
wharf, and the Germans Of our city giving
them a warm welcome. MIR. John Campsen
has tak:n three of them under his protection
until they can obtain employment, and If all
others who can afford it do the same thing,
nearly all of tho passengers might be induced
to remain in the city. They are, however, very
much prejudiced against the South, having
been taught to believe that it is extremely un-
healthy and inhabited by negroes and half
civilized whites.
The passengers are substantial and heal
thy looking, many of them farmers, and o
party from Bohemia who are the very picture
Of thrifty, .able.bodied workers, the very class
of persons who have the characteristics to
make the South garden spot. The following
