WHERE TO GET IMN1I-
GRANTS.
While we of Louisiana are try.
ing in every way to devise ways
to secure European immigrants to
settle upon and cultivate our rich
but idle acres, it seems that so
great is the rush Of emigrants from
Germany and other continental
countries that thousands are IN.

measures to check tie overcrowd-
ing and to arrange temporary &C.
commodations. 80 that the de-
mands of health and decency may
receive proper attention, and this
is true also of other English ports.
Under this condition of affairs
it is certain that a comparatively
small amount of money and eoer-
gy, properly applied, would result
IN bringing to Louisiana, Mississip-
pi and other Southern States,
thousands of these people who are
fleeing from high taxes and oppres-
siye governments to this great
Shelter Land of liberty.
The tremendous standing armies
of Europe which drain the very
life blood of the people to main
tain them, and the fear that any
moment the armed truce may be
broken, and Europe plunged into
interminable war, are having the
very natural effect Of drawing
away the most Industrious and
best portions Of the population Of
the various countries across the
ocean. These people fleeing from
the wrath to come, seeing clearly
the handwriting on the wall are
anxious to come to free America,
and while they have heard more
of the North and West and natu.
rally seek to go there yet they
could readily be induced to come
to the fertile and cheap lands OF
the South, where their chances OF
prosperity are infinitely greater
| than In colder and less desirable
regions. W. hope the gentlemen
in charge Of the emigration scheme

the Gould combination-and also
the Erlanger syndicate, will avail
themselves of the excellent oppor'
tunity now offered for procuring
settlers for their railroad lands.
They will doubtless. If they have
not already done go, send agents
to Liverpool and London, to rep
resent to the immigrants there the
advantages of the locations on
their various roads, and to facili'
tate them in procuring passage to
New Orleans on the vessels tina
are coming here for grain, cotton
etc.
Louisiana is largely interested
in this matter. and will, to the ex
tent Of its ability, further every
effort made to attract immigrants
to her unrivaled and largely viz
gin soil.--N. 0. Democrat.
