THE WORK OF IMMIGRATION.

The meeting tonight at the court house,
III the interest of IMMIGRATION, will
be by far the most important assemblage
we have had in long while in this city,
or IN East Tennessee. We can not, in fact,
overestimate its Importance. We know of
no occasion so full of interest, so pregnant
with valuable results and so prolific of vast
benefits tothe State of Tennessee. It looms
up into formidable and imposing proper
tons, sufficient, it seems to us, to attract
the attention of the most luke-warm and
indifferent class in our community, There
are, doubtless, a fe,U who stand off and are
unwilling to give them aid and counten-
ance to this imperishable work, but why ?
We answer, because they are not aroused
on the subject. They have not Investigate
ed itand given it their attention. Let them
do this and we promise that they will be.
come earnest supporters of immigration.
1t is one of those striking questions which
must commend itself to the common un.
derstanding of the country.
We do not pretend to assert that il is q
sovereign remedy for all our ills. Let rs
weigh everything according to the stan.

dard of common sense. We must equl-
poise our thoughts and moderate our &C
tons in all our plans and undertakings.
immigration will not reach every end in
our material welfare and development, but
it will certainly contribute largely to de-
velop, Improve and make fruitful the wild
and waste places of our State. That, it
seems to us, is is truisn1, In no other
way can we so effectually occupy and re-
claim the millions of acres of wild land in
Tennessee. There are at the lowest COM
: putation, twenty millions of just such
land in the State. 1t is idle, and, of course,
doing us no good. Ought it to remain in
this condition? Would that be wisdom :?
Does it not strike the common sense of
every man that it is ruinous to allow so
much land to remain unproductive :?
What, then, will you do with it?
We cannot occupy and develop it our
selves. AT the rate at which our own peo-
pie are leaving Tennessee, and moving to
other sections. We fear that even the bet
ter lands of the country, those that have
been cultivated for nearly century, will
be abandoned, at least, partially. The ex-
odus is very nearly equal the natural in
crease of our population. These are gigan-
tic questions for the mature, calm and
thoughtful consideration of our country
men. They must be met and comforted,
and such steps taken as will save as from
the horrors of depopulation and the eonse-
quent ruin of our agricultural resources.
Our safety and well-being obviously lies
in inducing immigration to our borders.
There is the milk of the cocoanut. 1t is
strange we are so long learning this simple
lesson. Missouri has became opulent and
powerful in consequence of the vast vol
ume of immigration that has flowed into
her borders. We can become opulent and
powerful in the same way.
But.we have not the space to-day to do
full and ample justice to this great ques-
ton Tonight there will be, no doubt,
pretty thorough ventilation of the matter.
We leave it in the hands of such gentle.

REPUBLICAN FIRES BURNING IN SEWER.


Wefearn fIom those who were present
that the Republicans of Sevier county had
rousing meeting at Sevierville on Wed.
nesday. The crowd was one of the largest
that has assembled since the war, and the
enthusiasm was high.
Hon. Horace Maynard made one of his
ablest efforts, speaking about two hours
during which time he was listened to with
profound attention. He was followed in a
speech of one hour by Col. J. M. Thorn.
burgh, whose effort is spoken of as
being able, effective and convincing.
The Republican majority in that
county will remind us of the stormy days
of '6l, when secession and disunion re-
ceived an almost unanimous rebuke from
the sturdy yeomany Of that county. Gree

scarce,

The Union and american deprecates the
IDEA of resuscitating 'dead issuesn by
discussing the secession question. 1t goes
into labored defense of the motives that
prompted the people of the South to en-
bark in SO hopeless an undertaking, and
even argues that with the lights then be-
fore them they were not to blame, and
that their conduct can in no wise be made
to appear Odious. 1t admits, by words,
that it is no longer debatable question,
but has been "sternly decided by the rude
arbitrament of war" ~
We confess that we have no fears
of the revival of this issue, but
our security from it consists more
in the strength of the anti-secession
element, than from a want of disposition
on the part of original secessionists to re-
vive it if they could do it successfully.
We think we have the very best reason for
believing so. If such is not the fact, why
is it that the Democratic party in Tonnes
see, makes a mans services in the rebel
army the test of his merit. We have be-
fore alluded to the fact, that our State
Government, in all its departments, is in
the hands of men who served the late
Southern Confederacy, either in a
military or civil capacity. All over
the State, we see men put for
ward for office, whose sole qualica-
ton consists in services rendered
in behalf of the lost cause. Does this mean
nothing? Why should they be given
prominence for such a reason, if it does not
mean that they are to be rewarded for their
ultra secession principles, or that they are
the fit opponents of the policy of those
whom they represent? Actions speak lou
der than words, and thisis no exception to
the rule. If it were only occasionally that
an original secessionist was selected to fill
an important office, it might be looked
upon as matter of chance, but when it is
the established rule of party, wherever
there lisa chance of success, it means some
thing. If it does not mean to make that
principle prominent and respectable, hat
does it mean E?

The MILAN CoTToN FACroRY.-A few weeks
ago 1t was stated in THE ARGUS that q
new cotton factory was to be built in Milan.
The enterprise is now under full, head way,
and we understand that ground was broken
Tor the site Of the new factory, this morning.
The original intention Of Mr.. Randall of the
firm Of Randall q Co., cotton manufacturers
at Rockford, was to bring their entire
machinery here and put up n large build
ing on the Sears water power In Milan for
the factory. For certain reasons,
which do not concern the public,
this project was abandoned, Mr..
Randall sold out his interest in the Rock
ford establishment, with the discrimination
to come to Rock Island. Mr.. d. B. Sears
went to Rockford and negotiated for the
machinery, which will be brough, here as
soon as possible. 1t is proposed to form a
stock company, to be known as the
Rock Island Cotton Manufacturing
Company. Mr.. Randall who has
had many years of experience
in the manufacture of cotton, will have the
Superintendency of the works. The Rock
ford works, last year declared q tri-Annual
dividend of ten per cent, and Rock Island
with her greater railroad and river facilities
and The advantages arising from cheaper
transportation, surely offers . better pros

ing Company,
