The Way to Attract Immigrauts.
From the Sugar.Bowl.1

The tenant system, by which the planters
secure to wOrkmen the full reward Of their
labor, by giving them portion of the crop
Will certainly greatly benefit our country;
but while that Is step in the right direc
ton, it does not go far enough.
country will be delighted to hear that such
advantages are offered, but unless they
have assurances that they can purchase
lands, as soon as they are able, they will be
slow to embrace the prOffered OppOrtuni-
ties, fearing that nothing better in the
future was in store for them.
Those planters who, like Mr.. Aruns Sor-
rel, of CypremOrt, in the parish of st.
Mary, not only furnish team, seed, houses,
easy terms, to the settler, fully cOmpre-
hend the wants Of the immigrants, and
they will be the first to profit by increased
population.
10 overcome any prejudice which may
exist against the tenant system in the
minds OF poor white men who wish to locate
among us as agriculturiets, planters should
offer to give the use of their idle lands, rent
free, for term Of years, allowing the set
tiers to purchase as soon as able. Such q
course ON the part Of our large land-hOlders
would enhance the value Of their property
q hundred per cent in a remarkably short
time, and by thus increasing our popula-
ton, not only give new impetus to bust
ness OF all kinds, but secure to all addi-
tional educational and religious advan-
tages, as we'll as providing US all with
greater and improved means of transporta-
ton.
Our country, it is universally admitted,
possesses many advantages over the North
west, where the tide Of emigration go
steadily flows: our soil is more productive,
q m 70 mil ~
kets for products more accessible; and all
that is necessary to secure just proportion
Of these hardy aad prosperous people is to
offer them advantages equal to those found
in the West
We sincerely hope that planters in each
DeighbOrhOOd or parish, who are willing to
give the tree use Of their lands for term of
years. or to sell on easy terms, will hold
public meetings. and SO express themselves
that it may be known to the whole world.
Nothing would give us greater pleasure
than to publish such generous offers.

Hemes for the Million.

Boston has an association Of workingmen
whose objects are worthy of imitation, the
design being chiefly to secure for its men,
beers cheap houses on a sort Of cooperative
plan. They propose, according to state
ment Of Mr.. Josiah Quincy, who is at the
head of the association, to build fifty houses
Of better class, which, if erected singly,
would cost $1,000 each, or 800, 900; OF if
contracted for together 81, 900 for the whole
fifty. OF this, each member pays down
S200, or $l0,O 900 in the aggregate, reducing
the amount required ON mortgages to $65..
900, or about two-thirds of the value of the
houses if erected singly, assuming that the
money is obtained 1T seven per cent inter-
est, and that interest is received ON the
deposits. This is Mr.: Quincy plan reduced
to few words: At the end Of seven years
the owners meanwhile paying at the rate OF
$3.50 per year rent-the entire indebtedness
would be cleared oh, and . surplus left to
the credit of the association of 4l3.27.

The Capture Of New Orleans.
From the Grand ARMY Journal


Gideon Welles' promised article, entitled
"Admiral Farragut and New Orleans. will
an account Of the Origin and Command OF
the First Three Naval Expeditions of the
War" appears in the GALAXY for November.
1t opens with review of the condition of
the country at the commencement of the
rebellion, touches upon the results with
which the election of Lincoln was pregnant.
and enlarges somewhat upon the gigantic
energy necessary to enforce blockade of
three thousand five hundred miles in ex-
tent, to secure which a navy had to be inn.
prOvised, and the energies and abilities of
the nation taxed and called out with a
rapidity never before equaled in the history
OF civilization.
While speaking of the magnitude of the
work OF preparation to be ACCOMPLISHED by
the government, Mr.. Welles does not fail
to do justice to the foresight and energy
OF Mr.. Welies, who, seeing that the rebel
lion was no mere iMpulsiv outbreak, took
his measures accordingly, and assumed the
responsibility of Immediately ordering,
without law and without appropriations,
the construction of over thirty naval
steamers. none of which could be Completed
within six months from the attack on
Sumter, and long after the terms of the
seventy-dve thousand men had expired.
which many supposed would close the in
surrectiOn.
The wisdom of this acton was proved nv
after events, although at that time both cat
home and Abroad the blockade was nro.
nounced an impossibility.' But through
the untiring energy of our NAVY Depart-
ment, seeming impossibilities became estab-
lished facts. and the naval victory at Hat
teras Inlet 10 referred to BY Mr.. Welles as
one of the first fruits Of the tireless efficiency
of the department of which he was then the
head.
Then follows history of the more i'm.
portant expedition to Port Royal under Ad-
miral DUPONT, with an account of the nur.
