At the recent tax-payersG p1Yent1oh
of .s,ositt II 6SfiIa, 9FEsTi.-sorRFSN,
of the committee on Immigration, re-
ported that eight hundred immigrants
have been introe uced into South Caro-
lina~during the past four months, and
that over two thousand were introduced
during the past year. Ih1s has been
done by a subscription of lands IN quar-
ter-section tracts to each head Of fam
ilv who will become a permanent settler.
The vast quantity of land lying idle,
and the exrectatlon that the quarter
sections adjoining those of the settlers
will more than double IN value, have
induced Iiberality on the part OF land
owners which we recommend to the
consideration and imitation of the pso-
ple of Louisiana. Agencies have wen
established in New York and Germany,
and arrangements have been made with
the lines of steamers for transportation
at a ,ow rate. Gen. Gary has demon
strated that the south can secure emil
grants of the best class with reasonable
exertion. The first step, however, IN
all such enterprises is TO guarantee to
tie settler farm IN fee simple. -Neto
