Immigration.

There ia no SulEect IN NilIch our Rco-
pie are more deeply interested, than that
of immigration. Wherever it is discuss
cd, every one agrees to the Importance
aud ben, fits, Of filling up a;r waste
places with an industrious and intelli
gent population. We all know that field
after feld-plantation after plantation
has grown up in broom -scdSe and is
without fences or improvements doing
the owner and the country no good.
That if occupied by an Industrious and
Intelligent class of small farmers. they
would yield abundant crops Of all the
varied products so easily and protitably
raised III this section.
While all admit the necessity and
benefits, which would grow out Of i'm
migration, no steps whatever are taken
to secure it. No movement is set afOOt,
by which people are to he brought here
aud located on these vacant lands but
we see that individuals do not hesitate
to advance their money to import here
numbers of negro lahnrels from the
States of Virginia and North Carolina,
to work their lands and for that purpose,
have employed, and sent forward agents
to bring them. This course but increases
our black population, who are ignorant
aud uneducated, and of whom we have
already more than enough.
Every Steamer that arrives at New
Orleans with white emigrauts, is visi-
ted by agents from Texas and the West,
and almost the whole number of these
people pass through Louisiana, for homes
in Texas or Kansas.
Our State Immigration Bureau is n
farce, mockery and disgrace and has
done nothing to secure the settlement of
a single immigrant in Louisiana.
Well it is asked what is to be done
about it ? Nothing is easier. Let the
planters meet and form an association,
and say how many men and wometRthey
will take; what accommodations in e
way of habitations and provisions ey
will provide, what wages they can reas-
OnaL!y; and then employ an agent to
visit New Orleans and Baltimore, where
so many of these fhHffi grants land and
there employ them. TO transport them
here, money will have to be advanced in
lnany cases to pay their expenses. Let
this be done, aud let reliable agents be
secured, and all, these vacant lands will
in a few years be occupied with All III
dustrious, lntellifient and thriving pop
ulat;on, Let the land owners sell to
them at reasonable rates, a portion of
their surplus lands, and What they retain
will be double in value
Now Who will take lead and inansu-
rate this movement. Let some OF our
prominent citizens call u meeting and
organize at ONCE the lnovenIent and snc-
cess will attend their Efforts. There is
money in the enterprise. Enst Nlicio"a

EV One of The main checks to INTEL
lectual progress is the inability or di-in-
= clinatisn of grown mp people to answer
the questions of children. Nature has
endowed the human being with an in
quiring spirit, for the evident purpose of
promoting the advancement OF kn"wl-
edge. The child gives proof as soon as
it has learned to speak. of its human in
stinct for information by its frequent
questions. These should bc answered,
and not quashed as they are generally,
Ivy q forbidden glance and the rebuke :
"Children shonld not be inquisitive."
The effect of thus l,ahitually opposing
this netural curiosity is finally to extin-
gnisl It altogeter, and thus put an end
both to the desire and means of kno"l-
edge.

departure to the Trans Mississippi De-
paltment was delayed until he had an
opportunity to share in the great battles
around Richmond, which he saw were
impending, and in which he participated
with heroic valor
The limits of Our sketch do not permit
us to trace his brilliant career and sue
cessful command in Texes, although they
won for the SCARED veteran the appro-
bation of his Government and the es-
TEEN and love of the people.
After the surrender Magruder went to
Mexico with the lamented Allen and a
few others. Returning thence he has
visited many parts Of the Republic and
had at last returned to Texas With the
purpose of settling upon the handsome
property presented by his Texas friends.
He leaves son and daughter now re-
siding in Italy, the former a physician,
the latter an eminent vocalist and paint
tr. lie must have reached his sixty
fifth year, but when last in New Orleans
he seemed az full of Physical and mental
vitality as to promise many more years
of useful life.-N. o. Picuyune.
Oh SwEARING.-Cowper wrote some
lines about swearing, which it would he
worth while for every one to learn:
. ut chiils my blood to hear he hltst Supreme
Rudely appealed to on each tritiing theme
Maintain your rauk, vulsarity dispise--
To swear is neither brave. polite, nor wise
You would not swear upon bed of death
Reflect! Your Maker may now stop your breath
