WHITE IMMIGRATION TO SoUwp
CAnoLlNA,-Thc Baltimore Sun Of
Tuesday says, that 4 large number of
cmigrants have left New York within
thc last few days TO try their fortunes
in the Southern States. A majority Of
them were young aud healthy mcn and
women from Germany, and the remain.
der were IRISH, English and French
South Carolina was the destination OF
most of them, and in most cases the
cmigrants had come to tins coun,ry un-
der the auspices OF some of tho South
crn cmigrant companies who aro trying
to attract labor and capital from Europe,
to aid III the development ot the South
crn country
The greater nuwbcr Of these immi.
grants 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 ,lclp Ills in making what
changes may be necessary in our agr>
culturalsystem, and in controlling and
directing the colorcd laborcrs, upon
%hom we manly rely. In Ncwberry
District where there are several hun
dred Germnn settlers. the experiment
mas been perfectly successful, AID The
thrifty Eontons have shown that they
will become valuable element in tho
community. We have room for hun
drcds OF thousands Of industrious white
men. South Carolina is broad enough
to give TO each OF them quiet and hap.
py home. And for each immigrant
there shall be a strong clasp.o tho hand,
and warm and happy welcome.
