The attention Of the country has been
called TO the fast that Congress has been
in session two months and ten days, and
accomplished nothing of any import
anee but to pass the appropriation bill
and repeal the back salary grab. A con-
current resolution offered by Dawes Mon
day, to adjourn on the 18th OF May,
shows clearly that the rings and jobbers
are preparing to rush measures through
over the heads Of the minority in the
last days Of the session, when discussion
will be cut of and the press Of the
country powerless to expose the trick
cry. Fortunately, the plan was boldly
tackled and exposed by Mr.. Beck, 0
Kentucky, and the resolution had e
be referred 10 the Committee of Way
and Means. The biggest jobs are Away
reserved for the last hours Of Congress

ENCOURAGING TO YOUNG MEN.-The Staun-
ton E1ndicator gives the annexed striking illus
tration of what energy will accomplish, when
we'll directed:
In 1865 poor young man without friends, left
Staunton for the West. He hadn't so cents in
change in his pocket, and made the first days
journey, nearly seven miles, with only one meal,
and that consisted of but few buckwheat cakes,
so hot he could hardly eat them, and single
partridge and some oysters that some one had
taken the shells off, His frank manner and
close attention to business gained his employers
confidence and he married his daughter
When he came back last week to visit the
scenes of his youth he said he was doing finely:
He had nine children, salary of two hundred
dollars year as brakesman of a leading rail-
road and didn't owe a cent in the world, having
taken the bankrupt law. 1t is such examples
as these that show what energy in young man
may do, and that friends and money are not al,
ways the most desirable things in this cold
world

The Tide of Immigration.

The Charleston Neus and Courier says that
Maj Franz Melchers has received, during the
past week, more than a hundred letters from
farmers in the interior Of the State, who are
anxious to obtain white laborers or to settle
white immigrants on their farms. Fifty immi-
grants will arrive in Charleston on Friday, and
sixty more will soon follow. One of the upper
counties calls for thousand immigrants, who
can be had as soon as arrangements are made
for the payment of the passage money and
travelling expenses. The immigrants are near
ly destitute of means What little money they
brought with them from Europe has been con-
sumed in New York. In all cases, therefore,
the means of paying for the passage of the i'm
migrants from New York to their destination
must be provided. This can be done either by
the farmers who call for the immigrants, or by
the citizens generally A subscription of FIVE
thousand dollars would enable body of four
hundred hale and hearty immigrants to be sent
to any county in the State.
Major Melchers gives some important infor
nation on the subject of immigration in the
following circular letter, which the Conserva-
tive newspapers throughout the State are re-
spectfully requested to copy:
CHARLESTON, December %, 1873.
To the Citizens Of South Carolina:
In answer to numerous inquiries, I would
most respectfully inform those citizens who
kindly offered land gratis, in alternate sections,
or who will sell their lands at low rates, on
long credit, to immigrants, that their offers
have been filed in the Office, and will be con-
sidered when such immigrants as can make
use of these offers arrive here.
At present, there are about one thousand
immigrants in New York who have spent their
last dollar for board, and are not able to pay
their passage to Charleston. If those could
be secured for our State, lasting benefit would
be the result The passage money, amounting
to the undersig gned at the time the laborers are
ordered, and the immigrant would afterwards
repay the same from bis earnings.
