Come South.
From the n. O. Picayune.l

from the y. ". t'lcayune-I
The Irish Citizen remarks that
too many Of our immigrants re-
main in the cities-far too many
in New York. That influential
journal uges them to tako them
selves and families cut of the
large cities and into the country.
where they will build up rather
than undermine their health, and
will save the money they bring
with them to this county instead
of wasting it in iruitless efforts
to Obtain employment in the
crowded cities. II is led to these
reflections by recent visit to
South Carolina and Georgia by
Hon. Samuel Sloan, formerly
President of the Hudson River
Railroad, aud now Preslden: Of
the Delaware aud Western Rail
road. Mr.. Sloan testifies that tue
advantages presented to the i'm
migaant by the Southern States
are greatly iu advance of nything
offered in the West; that the lambs
here can be worked at much less
cost than land in the West; that
cattle can be fed cheaper; the eli
Mate is more salubrious and the
winter much shorter, that all the
proceeds OF farm labor is not eX-
pended in feeding stock; that
lands can he bUusht at a very low
figure, and that the settler,
whether he comes from over the
! Atlantic, or the Eastern States, or
the Western States, is sure of a
he..rty welcome; that good men
are needed, and the Inhabitants
viii! hail them with good will and
hospitality. MIR. Sloan believes
that half the industry and energy
expended in New Jersey or the
West would give superior person
al comfort, and insure fortune K
a farmer in the prolific lands oI
the South. These are facts which
we of the South know well, anC
which we have endeavOred fol
years to impress upon tue North
ern people. Our own pledges ant
assertions have been received will
incredibly, bht now that men like
Mr.. Forney and Mr.. Sloan hav,
placed our advantages before th'
|, world in such strong light, ant
such an influential Journal as til,
Irish Citizen makes an appeal TO
emigration to the South; it is Il
: lie hoped that the truth will a
, last prevail. 1t only remains 70
! our landowners to offer REASONABLE
J terms. It would he better to Civ

have combined to do great deal that menaces
this CITY most seriously. 1t is time that our
citizens should look well into their own al
fair, and determine TO plsy their OVID game
with all the power they possess. Therefore
let them begin with this Roanoke valley rail-
road. That should be ut once ouist apo
firmly consolidated with the Dapvile railroad.
We do not represent our danger TOO
forcibly. Happily, it is one which is 80 'io'
,asiye Of the natural causes that conspre 10
shield Us, that it will take no very grea'

somulete triumph. But nothing can be done
for US without an effort, and that at an eally
day.
With the people of North Carolina we
hold the klndest social and commercial re'a'
tions. They viii favor us wherever they
eau. II is only the agents and strategic coun'
sellers, enlisted for sufficient Involvement
against us, that we may fear. But what are we
At for if we cannot enter the ring ana

legacy from chance. Men do not triumph
by doing nothing. The people OF RIchnord
must work for their city. They have the
very highest motives TO hazard all for her.
The grand motive of love Of country IS
strong enough of itself to press them to no.
bic efforts; but they have besides, as sure
reward of energy and enterprise in her de-
fence, future Of prosperity and powersuch
as no other inland town is likely to acquire
within the q, xt ten years.
We repeat, we cannot too strongly urge
upon our citizens the importance of the Val
lev railroad as ink in the system ty which
Richmond and Virginia have every reason to
believe they will win back and greatly en-
large the commerce which folly at home and
greed abroad have carried away from her.
Richmond is the great town of Virginia,
and the best way to enrich the State is to
concentrate commerce upon her.

We learn that B. b. DOUGLASS, of King

vatiyes as their candidate for Congress from
the First district. There could not have
been better nomination. If he steadily

North Carolina.

The news from North Carolina Is cheering
indeed. II the old North State has actually
chosen seven Democratic congressman and
left the Radicals only one, she may well be
congratulated. Virgins must have eight
Conservatives ont Of her nine congressman.
The issue in North Carolina and Tennessee
was made upon the civil-rights bill, though
the Radicals tried TO eyade doing SO.

term question, in which that gentleman
manifesIs great distrust of the Northern de-

ton for the South lies in the reelection Of
General Grant. 1t would seem rather illogi-
cal in the South to anticipate relief from the
evils under which they labor from the con-

peatedly blamed by Southern leaders as the
chief cause Of all their recent difficulties. -
