The Spanish Throne.

Our European kilograms announce as GER
tain the approaching proclamation of the
Duke of Montpensier Us King Of Spain.
This Prince is the fifth son of Louis Phil
ippe, formerly King of the French. He was
born at Neuilly, near Paris, in 1924. His
cunning father married him in 1846 to the
Spanish Princess Louisa, the sister of Queen
Isabella II, and at the same time brought
about the Queens marriage to her imbecile
cousin, Francis of Assist. Louis Philippe
supposed that this would be childless
marriage, and that the children of the
Duke of Montpensier would accordingly in
herit the Spanish throne. His calculation
has proved erroneous in every way. He
himself died in exile, and for more than
twenty years none of his family have seen
their native country. Isabella II has o
number of children, and yet the old Kings
principal end will be essentially gained
when Montpensier himself puts on the
crown of Spain, with reasonable chance,
as things 60, of transmitting it it to his pos
terity.

Something New.

The New York Citizen announces that the
prospectus of paper, to be called The I'm
perialist, has been issued in that city. Its
creed, according to the prospectus, is "rev-
solutionary." It's mission is to prepare
the minds of the American people for the
revolution, already begun, which is to ter
inmate in the Imperial Government. 1t de-
clares that the national faith in the keep
ing of the populace will be sullied by re-
pudiation: that "the Renuhlia nAAn. i--
slessness, corruption, insecurity to person
sand property, robbery Of the public credi-
"tors, and civil war; and that the Empire
s'means law, order, security, public faith,
"and peace" This journal, says the Citi-
zen, is likewise to advocate General Grant
as Emperor.

white immigration to South Carolina.

The Baltimore Sun of Tuesday says, that
a large number of foreign cmigrants have
left New York within the last few days to
try their fortunes in the Southern States.
A majority of them were young and healthy
men and women from Germany, and the
remainder were Irish, English and French.
South Carolina was the destination of most
of them, and in most cases the emigrants
had come 10 this country under the auspices
of some of the Southern emigrant compa-
nies who are trying to attract labor and
capital from Europe, to aid in the develop
msnt of the Southern country.
The greater number of these immigrants
will, probably, settle in the upper districts
of this State, where they will have every
opportunity of winning, by their labor,
houses and lands of their own. They will
be warmly received, for we feel more and
more every day how much we need hardy
and honest white men to help US in making
what changes may be necessary in our agri-
cultural system, and in controlling and
directing the colored laborers, upon whom
we mainly rely. Ia Newberry District,
where there are several hundred German
settlers, the experiment has been perfectly
successful, and the thrifty 'Teutons have
shown that they will become valuable ele-
ment in the community. We have room for
hundreds of thousands of industrious white
men. South Carolina is broad enough to
give to each of them q quiet and happy
home. Aud for each immigrant there Shall
be strong clasp of the hand, and warm
and hearty welcome.

The SOUTH CAROLINA INSTITUTE, organ
lied as it was 10 promote the welfare
the State in its mechanical, agricultural
and manufacturing pursuits, may, we think,
with propriety undertake to invite and nom
mate delegates from the seaboard districts
and from Charleston, to attend the Agricul-
tural Convention called to meet in Colum-

rectors will be held tonight. and we hope
that they will consider this suggestion.
