CALIFORNIA Is RAPIDLY FILLING UP with
immigrants from the Atlantic States. The ex-
ceedingly low fares. caused by the competition
of the rivsl lines of steamers to California. 1t
is said, are flooding San Francisco with more
people than can find employment, and the
newspapers of that city are beginning 10 CON-
plain ofthe rapidly increasing surplus Of pop
ulaiion. They say trade is dull, wages low
and provisions high. and that persons of limit
ed means, who are able to raise the money to
get out there, find themselves unable 10 get
back They deny also that San Francisco is
any longer a .'new country" in the sense OF
needing fresh immi grafton. Whilst this is the
declaration about immigration from the Allan
tic States, it seems strange that the California
authorities should be thinking of sending
agents to Prussia, to make known the induce
msnts offered by their State for immigration.
Yet such is the present announcement

Tx FIGHTING of the Abyssinians does net
appear to have been very effective. They are
brave enough. but the English, with their arms
of precision, slaughtered them at four and five
hundred yards, while their poor muskets.
whose range probably did not exceed two hun
dred yards, did no execution at all upon their
antagonists. Thus, while the Abyssnians lost
fivehundred killed and fifteen hundred wound
ed, the casualties among the invaders are said
70 have been SIXTEEN wounded and none killed
No wonder that the campaign came to a rapid
conclusion. The resolute death of King Theo-
dore, however, relieves the catastrophe of the
absurdity which would otherwise have at

result seemed so incredible, that he, thor

question, bat that of all times and Pc

sion or division. The Advertiser pub
fishes resolutions by the Executive
Committee of Edgefeld, calling for a
meeting on the first Monday in June ;
and that the chairman of, the Central
Committee and other Democratic organ
izations confer as to the propriety of
calling general Convention on the
second Tuesday in June. In response
to this, the Charleston Courier and

We earnestly invite every one who is in
sympathy with the Democratic party to

Let it not te said that at such time as
this the Democracy of Charleston stands
aloof. Our fellow-citizens of EdgeGeld
have taken position and call upon the
State to respond. We cannot be silent.

that the late Convention did not repre-
sent the sentiments of the people of the
State, then let them try that sentiment,
and they will then, We trust, be salts

them by groundless complaints. It may
be that these gentlemen are correct, bat
we are prepared to abide the issue and

UNITY! UNITY r UNITY u! and not
