INDUCEMENTS TO IMMIGRANTs.-
A number of planters in Green
Vile, Kersllaw, Sumter, Oconee
and AbLcvillc Counties have con-
tributed seven thousand acres of
land, to be divided into farms OF
fifty and one hundred acres, to be
given in fec simple to such immi-
grants as are able to build them
Selves n home and purchase for
themselves farm implements, etc.
This precaution is observed in or
der to secure the distribution of
the lands to bona tide settlers.
Major +. Melchcrs, the commits
sioncr of immigration for the State
at. large, has also about sixty thou
sand acres of land in various coun-
ties of the State, which will be sold
to settlers at prices ranging from
one to five dollars all acre. The
commissioner goes to New York
to-day for the purpose OF making
arrangements to settle forty fami4
lies, with ample means to carry on
farm work, in Sumter county.
Many of the counties in the State
are faithfully and zcalously carrying
out the programme laid down by
the Taxpayers Convention to ell
courage immigration. Charleston
alone is idle. Very little money
and still less land has been con-
tributed, and it really looks as if
the people:in the great commercial
metropolis OF the State have lest
sight of the waste places in the
City by the Sea.

FIRE IN. W1LL1AMsroN.-The resi-.
dence of Rev. B. +. Mauldin, in the
town of Williamson, was totally de-
stroycd by fire on Monday night last.
The fire was discovered about II
o'clock, when nearly all the family
hac retired, and, before assistance
could be had, the flames made such
progress as to defy all efforts to save
tho building. Only part of the fur
niturc was rescued, and the wearing
apparel of the family was entirely
destroyed. The fire originated in the
kitchen attached to tho dining-room,
and was the result of accident.

In his discourse last evening the Rev. DR..
Garrett Of the Shiloh Presbyterian Church coored at
No. $40 siXthaye took occasion to speak quite fully In
regard TO the recent troubles in the Southern States
He spoke OF the madness Of the wild leaders Of the late
rebellion, who believed that they were not yet con-
quered, but that the time would yet come when they
would again subjugate the negro TO their wili
The present was their second attempt TO
terrify and subjugate the negro, and II they failed
IN this, as they surely would, they would then
begin to murder and Ostracise Even among Northern
sympahzers, the solution given TO the great problem,
to what should be done with the negro, was that OF
extrpatlon subjugation. The very loyalty Of the
cOored race seemed 10 suggest that they must be
trpated; had they stood by their enemies, perhaps 10
would have been otherwise. The speaker referred at
some length the Civil Rights bill, advocating its pas

States He concluded by advising the negroes
