transportation OF immigrants to this Stute, and
we are now enabled to lay before our readers the
results reached. 1t Is peculiarly gratifying to
find that the development, mineral rs well as ag.
rlcultural Of South Carolina, is about to be
actively taken in hand by the industrious peasan-

his efforts, and assuring the "Inmnn Linen
OF their earnest cooperation, and lie gratefully
acknowledges. the courtesIcs extended to him

South that pay thoir own passage and have In
their minds eye no particular State. In which
