This apparent anomaly can only
be accounted for by the presence OF
slavery and the absence OF organi-
zed effort or the part of the South
to attract foreign emigration to her
shores. Until tho overthrow of the
rebellion and the abolition ofslavery,
the South was terra incognita'
to Europe. The only Southern
State where anysystcmatic effort that
has been made in this direction was
Texas, which, by the establishment
Of German agencies and steamship
line between Liverpool and Calves,
ton, added materially to her popn-
lation and developed her material
resources very rapidly. We are
glad to see that Maryland and Vir
ginia, taking example from her,
have recently organized emigration
societies for the purpose Of repre-
senting about the natural resources
of those States. The result is al.
ready apparent, for hundreds from
Europe and the various States Of
tho Union are buying lands in these
States either for actual settlement
or for purposes of speculation.

Of the progress, development and
prosperity which follow in the path

why the South, now that the curse
Of slavery is removed forever from

MAD DoG.-A few days ago, Mrs.
Eckerscn, of Rock land county, New
Jersey, while going to the barnyard,
was attacked by large dog, and q
great portion of her clothing was
torn from her person. Her legs
were several times between the jaws
of the brute, but her clothing pre-
vented the animals teeth from pene-
trating the flesh. She ran into the
barn to her husband, the dog fol-
lowing, and springing at Mr.. Ecker
sons throat. Mr., Eckerson Tended
off. and the dog caught his hand and
tore it drcadfully. Mr., Ecker9on, in
his efforts to get one hand out Of
the dogs mouth, had his arm torn
in shocking manner, and an ar
terry broken. The dog then caught
the other hand, and literally chewed
it up, and retained his hold until
Mrs. Eckcrson, with presence of
mind, thrust broom. handle down
the beasts throat, when he let go
his hold of her husbands hand, and
was killed with an axe, Physicians
soon arrived, who cut off the lacera-
