About immigration.

The Appeal says very praiseworthy
and timely movement has been inaugura-
ted in New Orleans under the auspices
Of leading citizens, for locating landless
white families on the idle lands in Lou
isiana and other Southern States. 1t
was stated that one reason why Southern
immigration had 50 far partially failed,
was owing to the difficulty of Inducing
landowners to sell their lands In small
parcels. European immigrants, it is said,
could be landed at St Louis, or on the
Upper Mississippi, via New Orleans,
cheaper than via New y ork and millions
of acres of land in the West, now owned
by companies, would be reached by the
Southern route, were the proprietors of
these lands correctly informed in relation
to this matter. But until some system
shall have been adopted to induce the
owners of the vast quantities of unculti-
waited lands In the South to sell it in lots
suitable for and within the means of ac>
tual settlers, the best immigration scheme
will fail, and the resources of the South
will remain undeveloped. The New
Orleans movement may, therefore, be re-
garded as full of hope for the future OF
the South, especially in view of the fact
that the political troubles growing out Of
the war are nearly a. an end.

Paw Ten Per Gent. or Loose All


Pay Ten Per Cent. or Loose All
The new President of the Charleston
railroad, John d. Rather; Esq, has ap-
pealed, in a circular dated Huntsville,
| November 81, to the stockholders to adj
vance ten per cent. upon their stock He
says: In looking over the affairs Of the
company, find the assets of the cons
panY amount to SSH, GAG Is, and the
liabilities to 1885, 932 rs. But these La
bilities do not include debt to the State
of Tennessee of 1925, 900, of its bonds
with coupons from January, 1871.
SeVenty>fiVe thousand dollars Of which
are passed due and the balance running
to maturity. The assets of the company
should be increased by the value of the
McMinnviIle and Manchester railroad,
Thirtysfve miles long, and in running
order, and equipped for its business In
considering the condition of the com
pany, the undersigned feels very conf
dent that its assets cannot be relied upon
to pay its pressing liabilities, and that
some extraordinary means should he rev
sorted to by the company to save its cap
ital stock Of S. .3l2,725. This can only
be accomplished by Hercules helping
himself 1t has occurred to my mind that
in the present juncture al appeal to the
stockholders will not be in vain Ten per
cent. upon the stock would realize $751;
212, and would place tho company in
condition beyond question, and would
save, beyond controversy, the entire caps
ltal stock of the company. Who would
not be willing to advance that small
amount to save his capital? In order to
induce such an advance from the stock
holders, the company propose to pay ten
per cent? per annum upon such an advance
until it IS returned, ana as security for
the ultimate payment of the same, il will
pledge the rentals of the road, consisting
of $40 $50 due from the Southern Rails
way Security Company on the first of
March, 1873, and ike amount due from
some source every six months thereafter.
IF this recommendation to the stockholders
is met with the Same spirit that actuates
man in the preservation of his individual
property. l can safely say-in which
your Board of Directors will heartily con-
cur-that the capital stock of the com
pany will BIS preserved, and gradually
grow in the market until it will reach 80
to 20 cents on the dollar" This recom>
mendation is signed by Directors q. 2.
BeirDe, j. G. Bradley and J. j. Donegan.
The intimation that if this proposition is
accepted ''the capital stock of the com.
psny will be preserved implies a contraA
