IMMIGRATION.
Another Letter from Mr. III atch
On Tennessee.

We copy from the VALLEY Herald,
published at Jasper, Tenn, the follow
ing letter from Mr.. Hatch, to show our
readers what other counties are doing
for themselves, and how they are doing
it. We hope every citizen will read it
and profit by its suggestions.
To the Editors of the Herald:
After reading your paper of the oath
of June, and admiring the spirit OF en-
| terprise and push you manifest, | want
not only to say to you, keep the ball
rolling" but to say a word through
your columns to your readers, and if
possible, stimulate them to strike vigor-
ously for immigration, and at once.
(EXcuse my italics, for l want to make
what l say emphatic.) The s,iron is
hot" and if you do not strike there are
scores of other counties in your State
that are striking and that vigorously.
You say you have one of the finest
counties in the State. do not doubt it :;
but how are the tens of thousands
North to find it out, unless you use
printers ink freely, to make it known.
The burden will be light, if divided, to
do this.
l will tell you what the citizens of
Milan, in West Tennessee did, a few
weeks since.
Thew said, call the migration is going
to Middle and East Tennessee, while
we are folding our hands and wonder
ing why it does not come here.' They
saw the key TO success, went to work,
got up fine description of their county,
had it printed in the issue of June 10th
of the Milan EXehage, sent me about
1000 copies By express, for distribution,
and how many thousands were sent else
where not, but one thing l do know, /
No
from the lips of scores who knew nothing
of that section before. Numerous other
sections are doing a similar work, with
greater or less success. Marion County
should step to the front rank. Every
number of your well-filled paper, sent
North Will bring, on an average, 800 in
wealth to your county.
About fifteen years ago Minneapolis
commenced sending out papers, reports,
circulars, &c, all over the Eastern and
Middle States, Canada, Europe, setting
forth, in glowing style, its attractions
Emigration began to flow into our State
and to this city. That course has been
followed up till the present time. The re-
suit is Minneapolis has grown to be a
city of nearly 10000 inhabitants, filled
with wealth and business, and Min
nessota with a thriving, Industrious
population. The truth is we have 100
many, especially in our city.
If this has been done, in this cold
Northwest, where winter reigns six
months in the year, and our range of
productions are limited, what think Won
would be the result OF a similar course in
your lovely and mild State, where the
range of productions are almost unlimi-
ted
l venture the assertion that there is
scarcely city on the globe that is more
widely known than Minneapolis, and
not State whose name is spoken by
more lips than Minnesota. | have been
a close observer of the press for more
than forty years, and nearly that time
have used this mighty engine. l know,
full well its potent influence; hence |
urge the free use of the press of Tennes-
see, to attract their full share of the
hundreds of thousands through the
North and east, who are making up their
minds to remove to milder climate
The buga-bOOs of "ku-kluX, ostracism,
insecurity to life and property to North
ern people" is vanishing like the mists
of the morning. FraterIIal feeling is
rapidly increasing, and the Centennial,
at Philadelphia, next Fourth of July,
Will lay the cap stone of cemented I'M
ion. We are rapidly becoming one in
feeling, common interest and common
aim.
"The South sends its cordial greeting
to the North and says Gomez and the
North shouts back warm response, and
says 'We are coming; fifty thousand
men! Not in hostile array, but with
plows and spades, with spindles, with
the implements of skilled labor and with
capital to help you develop your mighty
resources, build up the waste places, and
make your beautiful country what ma
ture has designed it, the lOveliest spot
on earth"
To all of which l say Amen! Yours
for Tennessee. w. /. Hatch.
