BY a sort Of desperate, rpamodic
movement many Of our people engaged
in agriculture, came on sent last winter 10

ers 10 ell their fields. They succeeded
within a short time in making considom.
bio acquisitions 10 the producing force III

who were induced 10 take up their homes
in the South, Il may be safely assumed
that while two-thirds win indemnify ihoir

ring them, ono-half viii constitute per-
manent, valuable citizens who viii abide
in the South, prosper and thrive. ana
themselves become efficient agents off
immigration. Undoubtedly, great deal
has been achieved by the silent, effective
working Of the few citizens who detomin.
cd 10 risk the experiment which in most
cases has proved success.
But the effort Is not % be valued ao
much for what il has done, a. Tor what
it has demonstrated can be done. If tho
landowners and others interested ia lhe
prosperity Of Mississippi viii make up
their minds firmly and work with rosoIu.
ton, by tho light Of the experience they
have already had, the State I'm a few years
will literally swarm with a prosperous
and thriving population from Che great
European hives which arc pouring their
vast contributions to the industry and
wealth Of the New World. II they viii
engage in the work with onc-half the zeal
and energy which has been displayed iu
the great West and which in a short time
have converted lie deserts into blooming
fields, the same rewards viii crown their
efforts.
On this subject, some practical sug.
gestions derived from observation and
experience, and especially from contact
with persons who have given much of
their time TO immigration, are submitted
for consideration.
!. Persons wishing 10 engage foreign
laborers for their farms, or 10 rent. ON
lease, or sell them lands, are advised not
to rely exclusively upon eaccting their
object in Chicago. A sufficient reason
is, that the supply will not bo equal 90
one-hundredth part Of the demand which
is supposed to exist or which ought Do
exist, if the people Of tho State arc not
blind as bats TO their true interests. Ina
the winter there is but little II any Sean
immigration. The influx from
Sweden, Norway and Denmark Is princi-
pally during the spring and fall months.
The immigrants, following their friends
who have preceded them, are generally
consigned to other localities whore they
are ticl<eted from the commencement Of
their journey. No ordinary inducoment
will effect a change Of destination. M
they are thrifty, they will settle down iu
the regions where their first choice has
led them. Otherwise they may be thrown
back on the principal cities during the
winter, and viii be accessible 10 tho
employee, butt will be readily
seen that il is not from this class that it h
desirable the accossions 10 our population
should be made or course there are
exceptions TO this rule. And while many
laborors and settlers may Do
obtained in the North-West-(exporionce
ias demonstrated this fact)--it Is evil
lent that our people must not wholly rely
upon the second, hand immigration iu
hat section.
2. Fory-nine fftieths Of the people who
come TO our shores from abroad 30 settle
disembark in New York.
L therefore follows that the chances of
occurring immigrants fresh from Europe
ire largely in favor Of that point.
3. But the chief reliance should bo
Ipon establishing influences abroad which
will start the immigrant from his Old
homo directly 10 the South This can
&c done by the circulation Of tracts set
ing forth in the, Language Of the country
n which they are designed for circula-
ion the peculiaritics and adaptabilitcs of
Ter soil and climate. Around their own
ire-sides the enterprising emigrant viii
tudy the resources and advantages Of Tho
q Dorado to which his eyes had not been
previously turned, and there form bis
to settle in the South. Most
# these people have saved means Of their
,wn 10 defray the expenses Of moving
md 10 give them a start after they reach
iere. 1t is novel thing 10 provide
hem with transportation but there are
and II would not be advisable
0 establish a fixed rule on that point, &c
he purpose is 70 hasten immigration. Tho
most difficult step Is the first Once fair
y started and tho stream viii pour down
lpon our smiling vallics with the force of
IN avalanche. II may be safely assumed
hat the start has been taken. The
question how is II 10 be followed zap,
: not difficult Of solution. The way j.
