CHINESE IMMIGRATION.

The following article. taken from the Will

formation on the Chinese question::
It would appear that no matter what may be
the opinions OF the press Of tho country in re-
gard to the present all-inporiant coolie ques'
ton, Chinese labor, IN the cotton and rice
fields of the South ,s destined to become q
fixed fact. Our energetic South Carolina
neighbors recognizing the necessity which
now exists for more labor to til! their iel9s,
have entered into the plan most heartily, and
the first lnstalment Of which are expected to
arrive about the first Of the new year.
We are indebted to D.. William Weston, OF
Kingsville, y. T., for COPY OF the annexed let
ter from gentleman IN Columbia, which con-
tains much matter of information in regard to
Chinese immigration. 1t would be proper to
state also in connection with this that DR..
Weston has himself ordered forty Of the la-
borers.
The following is copy of the letter:
COLUMBIA, s. c., August 1s, 1863.
Dr. William Weston:
DEAR SIR-As you sometime since expressed
q desire to obtain Chinese labor for the ensu-
ing year, write to inform you that Mr. Jo-

After they have each earned that amount for
his employer. the employer contracting to give
him rations and s100 per year as wages, the
$40 above mentioned is to be deducted from
his wages.
Please give this information to your friends
and negbbors, and let us get enough of the
Chinese here to at least show the negro that

We are to have very soon the elucidatien
Of dark social puzzle that gave much per-
plexity to the grandfathers of New York. A
trustworthy citizen Of that State is going to
relate whlt became Of Chancellor Lansing.
Forty years ago the Chancellor went one after
noon from New York hotel to take the boat
for Albany, was known never to have reached
the boat, and was last seen in this world, 80
far as was ever ascertained by the hotel porter
who handed him his travelling bag. No clue
to his fate was ever discovered, and it was sup
posed that the mystery would never be solved.
But it is asserted, that all the incidents con-
nected with the Chancellor's disappearance
we're in the possession Of an eminent man now
deceased, by whom they were confded, under
pledge Of secresy for definite period during
the lifetime Of certain individuals, to another,
and that, as these individuals are dead, the
facts are at length to be revealed.
The Paris correspondent Of Child's Pub
llshers' Circular says: Literary circles are
looking forward with considerable interest to
the publication by NJ. Marius Topin Ia nephew
Of M. Mignet, the historian) OF the result OF
his researches in the history of the Iron Mask.
He declares he has found in the archives all
the papers relating to the trial Of the person
confined in prison and kno yn as the Iron
Mask, and that none Of the current hypo-
theses OF the identity Of the prisoner are true.
He asserts all the stories current about the
Iron Mask are unfounded. It is not true the
Iron Mask was supplied with royal linen. and
had sumptuous table; 1t is not true fisher
men who found silver dish which belonged
to him we're arrested; it is not true Luvois vis-
tied him; 1t is not true the Iron Mask wss the
object OF the greatest attention and deserential
respect. The Iron Mask Was imprisoned in
the quarter reserved for spies, and was subject
to the ordinary regimen Of the Bastile. But
why was the unusual precaution OF an iron
mask used2 d. Topin promises to explain all
these controverted questions in a satisfactory
manner. It is understood in literary circles
bis uncle and Ii. Theirs accept his conclusions
as satisfactory"
