IMMIGRATION.

The Union-Herald is very enthu-
siastic in urging the Legislature to
make provision for all the negroes
who are leaving Georgia, Alabama
and other States to settle in South
Carolina, ;.
Would that our farmers would i'm
bibe similar spirit and cut up their
lands in small tracts an,i invite in-
migrants from Germany, England,
Ireland and the North to come and
settle them. We want our resources
developed, and as color should be no
consideration, we suppose the whites
would be welcome too, especially as
land owners.
II the Legislature won't act, let ms
act ourselves.

GUANAHANI4 GUANol,,.,

An important natural Gun,i0 IA genuine.
Animal Deposit a cargo of 900 tons now
on the way 10 this port. This gtiano gave
great satisfnction in Virginia and North
Carolina the past season. Circular and GER
tiheates sent on application.
Prof. Wilson, of Baltimore, Nd, says Of
this guano: "By critical examination of
the analysis of tho various cargoes you have
imported, striking feature is the great
regularity in the percentage of the impor-
tant constituents. esss=ss:ltial for the proauc-
ton of all crops"
Prof +. A. Gentli, Of Philadelphia, Penn,
says: Tie guano is evidently of animal or
igin, and the minute bones which were dis
covered in the same indicate that it is the
result of the decay Of bats, mice, &C. The
quantity of organic matter which is still
present is about IL per cent, and this yields
about q per cent Of ammonia.a A portion
of the nitrogen is present as nitric acid, OF
which about per cent. were found. All
the nitrogen present would be equivalent to
about 81 FsE cent. nf ammonia. The phos.
plloric acid in the guano averaged abou, I2a
per cent, equal to 27.3 per cent. of Rome
Phosphate. A considerable quantity of the
phosphoric acid, however, is present as So
called neutral Phosphate of Lime, which,
being slightly soluble in water, renders the
Guano as quick in itsaction as q correspond
ing quantity of Superphospatcs would do.
The small percentage Of potash which wux
found in analysis adds to its value. From
all the experiments which have made of
the Guapalnni Guano no doubt can exist
that it is valuable manure"
Prof II. 9 White, OF the Georgia State
Agricultural Society, says: "As shown by
the analysis, this guano contains, in good
proportion, all the elements which are yen,
orally considered as Of value for plant f6od;,
and the forms and combinations in which
they are'present are such as to render them
available TO and assimilablc by the plant, 1
should judge that the proper ,lse of this ar
ticle for purposes of fertilization would Be
attended with great profit"
Prof. Charles U. Shepard, Jr., in recent
analysis of thi, Guano, says: "rhis Guapo
(cf animal origin) would appear from its
physical and chemical properties to answer
every reasonable expectation Of n chemical
manure" s.isl 4

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President Grants message on Lou
is;ana affairs is but another exhibition
Of his glaring mediocrity and inten-
sity of feeling against the people of
the South. In spite of his boasted
firmness 1T is nothing out a weak
apology for his unconstitutional ac-
tions, and shows plainly that he is not
at ease i'll his position. He feigns be.
lief in all the stories of Southern out
RACES, and thus hopes to blind the
people, if he cannot quiet his con
science.
1t is a dangerous thing to tamper
with liberty, and the republican party
will find it so to their sorrow.

TIE GOVERNORS MESA GE.

Gov. Chamberlain last message
to the Legislature exhibited genuine
spirit of reform. He rencws many of
the recommendation Of his inaugural,
such as the registration of electors,
and the election of justices Of the
peace in accordance with the require
ments of the constitution. He also
recommends strongly the enacting Of
law putting into effect the systsm of
cumulative voting in elections of in
corporated cities or towns, and thus
testing the theory upon q small scale
before trying it over the whole State.
So far Chamberlain has made "a
good governor, and if he continues OH
this line he will be supported by con-
servatives MS we'll rs republicans.

HUIfBERT and ANDREWS AGAIN

A committee of the Senate, COM
posed of Whittcmorc, Smalls and
Smith, came to our town on last
Thursday TO investigate the charges
of J. L. Humbert against r. G. An
drcws. Considering the character of
Whittelnore of cadet-ship renown, it
was naturally thought by cur citizens
that the scheme was to whitewash the
whole affair for the reputation of the
Senate and of the party. BY the
published proceedings, however. in
the News and Courier, things have
taken quite an unexpected turn. The
committee seems to have been some
what divided: Smalls is reported in
his discussion as saying that "Hnm-
bert proved everything that had been
charged against Andrews. White
more and the other member of the
committee seem to have been opposed
to Smalls in the work, although it
does not appear whether they deny
his statements.
Strange to say, at the instance of
Whittemore two conservative mem
bers have been added to the commit
tee, and there seems to be an earnest
effort to get the testimony Of Humbert
before lie is convicted.
The committee rs now constituted
arrived in town on Monday, and wo
hope before we 60 to press to give the
result of their investigations.
AS we 30 to press we learn from
dispatch the News and Courier
that they have not agreed upon re-
port. We are waiting for 1ull de-
velopment of the facts before giving
,,onr individual views.

No longer need of affections care
Hath the worn and still form resting there;
The tireless vigils of love are past,
And the grave hath claimed its own ut last
Smooth the soft eye, the placid brow
Peace like halo cnwreaths it now;
The labored breathing, the moan Of pain,
Shall never your fond hearts rend ngain.
Now onward, with slow and gentle tread,
SolemnIy bearing the holy dead
With pale hands folded over her breast
Revercntly, tenderly lay her to rest.
The golden beams of the setting sun
Meet type of the brief lilcjourney dome
Like the light Of hope dispells the gloom
That lietlr pail on the waiting tomb.
The church Of her love breatllts holy spell
Over that sacred and lonely dell,
And the fading waves Of the flowing river,
And all her sorrows, have ceased forever.
