While most of the immigrants arrive
at Castle Garden, there are other Ameri-
can ports where the influx is enormous.
At New Orleans, steamers loaded with
Germans for Texas and the other Gulf
States arrive every week. Charleston, S.
c., is receiving its share. During the
first twenty three days of April over 1000
immigrants entered the State of Michigan
at Port Huron, via Grand Trunk Railway,
and most of them passed through to the
West. 1t is now expected that within the
next ten days 1000 Germans will come
through at the same point, arriving on
special trains.
