made to induces foreign emigration to
the Southern States have been quite
successful. Aa agent at present in
Sweden has just forwarded company

hnation is Water Valley, Mississippi
Many Of them are mechanics, and have
secured employment in advance on the
Mississippi railroads. The agent writes
that he was only two weeksin collecting
this party. He says that any number
of valuable emigrants can be secured
for the So nth there by sending over
agents to make proper representations
