By far the ablr1t aud also the most
accurate rr-Gmr and exposition of
the Immigration movement in Mis-
-i4-ipDi, including also the induce
mpnts to immigrants, Is from the
Jackson correspondent Of The st,
LOuis Globe Democrat. We are very
sorry that its length precludes our
giving il to our readers in full, for
we believe it would he read with keen
interest by every man in the State.
It closing paragraph is as follows:
How many people have any just
conception Of the backwardness OF
Mississippi? There il nothing like it
anywhere else, North or South, East
or West. Here is an agricultural
State, embracing within its limits a
little over q 1000, 900 acres. Less
than 5000, 900 acres are under cult
vation-about 0nc-seventh Of the
whole. This is a smaller amount Of
titled land than Mississippi had in
1850. And get this il o state which
the MORTALITY statistic. show to b.
healthier than Maine, New Y0fi
Ohio, illinois, or even Kansas, j
IN" ~rrruicious practice Of carrying
pistols and using them on small
prov0cation could be abolished Mis-
ais-ippi would have the lowest death
rate of all the states.
