Wc ure delighted to notice the manly effort ho ing made by the Ncwspspirs of the South to en courage immigration to the Southern Stater. The press ii ioing it? duty in this respect, but the paoplo ?cim nnwilH?g to more. And vrby is rt, in God's acme, that the people of the South, es pecially of South Carolins, are so inert, and so lacking in that foresight, which.tho most ordina ry thrift and business sense, ought to furnish a people? Tho negroes are free, and thoy ^e leav ing '.ho country to go further South or Wost, and if their {.laces, as laborers, are not suppliod, tho country uust inevitably go to ruin. Is any ODO j unwise e:iough to be (till idly philosophizing upon th: probabilities of the availableness of black la bor for tlic futuro ? It will certainly be neither abundan: enough nor available enough to dopend upon. Why, even now, scarcely a dey passes over our head that wc do not hoar of some planter of our acquaintance who " has not a single labo rer, and is cot able to secure one.'' In order, therefore, to provide against the contingency of a further failure of black labor, let us begin betimes to provi le tho whito labor that is within cur reach. The course of wisdom is to do the very beet we caa with all the labor we now have, both blr.ek and white, and at the same time to make provisiot to obtain ten limn as much more as wo now har ). Wo shall thu? make our present labor moro reliable, and add immensely to tho wealth of the State by a largely increased amount of it. And a though we believe tho State Legislature should giro every possible encouragement to im migrant?, yot the landholders of tho Stato should neither r'ait for nor depend wholly upon legisla tive action. They have sufficent interests at stake, .nd sufficient facilities in their hands, to accom plish the desirod results, if they have the energy and enterprise to act properly and promptly. They can now enrich themselves if tiny will. The choice is presented them of continuing for years to come, as they have for years past, tho owners of comparatively valueless property in fertile but uncultivated lands ; or of raising their lands in a short time to a.bigh value. If they will combine together, i-fT^r the lirge inducements they are able to oT:r to immigrants, and send their agems to Europ;, they can soon hare steamers and emi grant ships landing thousands of immigrants upon our shorts. And y:tnone hare the energy, public spirit, and tiri';, to pursue such a course. And why is it thut when it would be wi.e to gire away half of our lands t'j have them ?e;iled, so few set-m ?filling to offer any iad;tcotn?rits to ItumigMntt ? There are many inn, we h?ve no doubt, who would g!( dly more in this mr.tlcr-and earneotly -if they had thc energy sn.', public spirit to get together, form the necessary combinations, and write out their offers for publication. Who then will set thc ball in motion ? In our last week's paper, a practical citlsen of our District suggest ed "A voluntary Land Association," and hi? ?eherne is not without merit. A society should be formed in every District to inrite, arsiit and en courage immigrants from Europe-and eren from the Norther Stat-s-to com? to South Carolina a id make houics among us. Yes ; there ought to oe such a society in every Distrief, and individu als ought lo act at once and energetically, soeie tic? or no societies. Tho Districts in which thin thing ls d me will hereafter bloss the men who start it: f J." such Districts "will get tbs advantage ut others iu increase of population, agriculture, value of 1 indi, and getioral wealth.

Tho engrossing topic of the day is the question of tho impeachment of tho President. On the 7th of thc present month, ono Ashley, a veoomously radical member from Obi", preferred, charges of impeachment against Mr. JOHKBOX in the House of Representatives. Upon 'this, the matter was turned over for investigatiuu to the Judiciary Committee of the House, and tho said Committeo commenced its inquisition forth with. This Committee consists of nine mirabcrs, all, With ono oxception, of tho blackest radical stripe. Their business is to ?Amino witnesses and gather testimony to support the charges made by Ashley. Ono of these chargea is that but for tho influence of the Prenden? employed against the pending Constitutional Amendment, j it would have been accepted by tho excluded States as a treaty of restoration. Qphen this Committee thall have mndo up iii budget of high crimes and misdemeanors, ?nd there is no doubt thoy will do their duty thorough ly, they wil! lay it before the House of Represen tatives, whose members, acting as a grand jury will find a true bill. Thon, os is the law in sud a case, tho President will be arraigned for triul a tho bar of the Senate. The cxtromo radicals, fall of power and full o hate, have this mutter in hand, and there is eycrj i prospect at present that they will succeed. No during the present session, for tho timo is nov short, but during the session which opens early ii March ; when tho strength of the radicals will bi immensely re-inforced hy tho rotiremont of ?ucl men as Cowan, Foster, Harris and Patterson, am the filling of their pinces wi h flerco haters of thi President and of the South. As regards the policy towards the South whicl will arise from the success of this impeachment we need hardly say that it will bc most unfortu nate, most oppressive, most tyrannical. Ic sucl a case, we cannot doubt that negro tuffrage wouk bo forced upon us; that the writ of hahta* eoryu would be suspended ; and that we would live un der the practical administration of martial law. Will nothing appea?o the insatiable malice c these Radicals? First they proclaimed that thc; waged war against the South with no other ^ur poso than tho restoration of tho Union. Thci they demanded the abolition of slavery, bcyoni which they averrod they contemplated no ultorio: object. These things have long been accomplishci facts. Tho Union is re-es'ablished with aug raented power; that is, ns far as tho radicals wil allow it to be; ard slavery is buried in the tomi of tho Capulet*. But tho Radicals still vex thi country wich their frantic clamor. It is "a psrlj of progress," said Horace Groelv; and verily h< spoke the truth. The achievement of yesterday is tho vantage ground of to-day, whence fom< fresh assault is to be made upon the Conslitutioi and upon tho rights of the South; and whenci some yet more cruel experiment is tobo attempted on the patience of our unhappy people. Day bj day the "party of progress" manifests strongei determination to limit the power of the President and of the Supremo Court, and to transform thi Government into an unlimited Democracy tritt all power in Congress. The negro is liberated ; he is protected ?a per son and property ; he is invested with ci cry oivi franchise osientiai to his security, and which ht it competent to discharge. But nil this doos sol avail to hush the agitation of tho Radicals. .Th( "party of progrois" moves another ?top; invent! another demand; meditates n atilt mare fatal at tick on the SvUth. They now require that th< aegro shall be elevated to an absolute social and political equality with the white man. What il .ven this concession bc extortod from the South is there any guarantee that the Radicals wUl de sist from their enrroachrueats ? The negro is now permitted to t?stify in eonrt; why not then-iaj the Radicals-put him in tho jury box, or seal him on the bench ? If he be entitled to vote, hat ho not ns good a claim to share the honors and offices of Government ? The '. party of progress" is inexorably logical; and as from the emancipa tion of the negro they deduce his right to T ite, we may be ?ure that from the privilege of suffrage, they wjll establish his title to thc Presidency. These Radicals subsist on agitation, ?nd as Iago if as " nothing if not^ritical," so the Repub lican party would perish oi^wace. They marpej power in.thc midst of civil convulsion, and the perpetuation of domestic discord is tho condition of their ascendancy. The haiejt thing In the order of animated nature obeys the instinct of ex istence ; we do not wondor therefore th.tt the Rad bal party should so desperately rei ut the returu of that quiet which would be the ?igual of its dissolution. But aro not the people cf the North sick to doath of political agitation? Do thtir hearts not yoarn for public repose?

Brandt, Commissioner of the Frecdme.-.'s Bu reau, vho has thargo of tho negroes on Back River, to thc efl", .ct thal the lands are tobe .turned over to owners and tho freedmen to uiskc contracts. ? portion of thc Chtvcs properly has been lcatoJ by Mr. Smith Burn well, who was destroua of making agreometHi with the ncgror-s, but they positively rel'usci and threatened to take Mr. Bamweil's li Te. A detachment of fifty men proceeded to the place, bot soon found that the negroes were determined to resist. Capt. Brandt then pro needed ?ct\,5s the river, went to Mr. Barn well place, and at ?rst s:>w npt&ipg but a f.-w women and children. Ile rend his orders to them, and said that he came to them ava friend and not to Tight them. Soon thereaf ter, tlie detachment was surrmiided by three or four hundred armed ncjrro men and wo men, the men keeping to thc re r o tho wo cco and children. Some of the negroes got in the rear o? the soldiers behind a fence, mid, when discovered, they had their gun? pointed through holes in the fence, ard bearing di rectly on tho soldiers, discovering this, the captain judiciously determined to withdraw i his men, not wishing to shed blot d, especially I as tho women and children would probably ba,ve been the suffrr?rs. Ho came to town for further orders from Qeu. Scott; command ] lng thc district. We hate been informed that thc negroes have been thoroughly drilled and armed, and that an officer, with saah and sword, WAS in Command. We also leam that the negro law yer (Bradley) who applied to be admitted to practice in the Superior Court la>t week, is at thc bj^tom of the whole thing ; that he has informed thc negroes that they cannot ho removed ; that Congress has passed a law giviug th?nj the riHit to hold the land, and that he has recommended them to resist thc officers of the Burran. We understand that despatches have been sent to Gen. Scott, informing him of the state of affairs, and that he will probably arrive on the sctne today.-Savannah News and Herald, 21st. J];" Savannah Kart, of a later date, fur nishes the following in Ration lo tho termi nation of this aff.ir : As we inspected, tho difficulty on thc Del la plantation has been greatly exaggerated, and the discontent and turbulence of a few misguiilfd freedmen has been nuguilu-d into I j? formidable insurrection. For this the pub lic arc indebted to f.he mjscbicvous intermed- [ diing of ? negro enij?sgr?, spargely Ipss igno- ! rant of thc rights apd obligations of the lulcr ly emancipated slaves thaq themselves, an4 to sensation mongers who have given currone cy to unfounded rumors and reports. Tho J following, we believe, is about tho upshot of r the whole matter, as ascertained by our re- . porter : ? General R. K. Scott, commanding the Dis- 1 trict of South Carolina, arrived hero about ^ two o'clock yesterday morning, on thc steam \ tt Dr Pilot Hoy, from Charleston. About bine '> l( o'clock, the General, with Capt. Brandt, pro- j .ee^d to tb? ?eeoeoi ?tyKl*,Wa? wty[ bern the nigger Bradley, thc repute 1 adviser ind counsellor of thc freedmen on Mr. Chevcs' ilantation. Our reporter understands from General Scott that the whole trouble has been more mnginarj than real, ar.d tbatthe only arms ,be negroes bnd were clut>s. When he arriv ed on thc plantation tbey met him without my show of resistance, but suid they had been instructed that they could not be re moved from the land-j in two years. Some of them Ind been born rn the plantation and thought they bad a life estate in it. The General told them differently, informing them thai the condition of things had changed ; that they wpre HOW free to Work where they pleas ed and fur whom they pleased, but that they could not occupy the lauds without ibo con ant of tb.3 owner. After talking some two hours to the negroes, answering their questions and giving them some good advice, some of them" expressed their willingness to contract with tbe present lessee of thc place, and tho others agreed to lt?ave at tlie expiration of a week. Tbe General has ordered Cant. Brandt to select three disinterested parties who, in ac cordance with thc law as it now stands, are to appraise the im provence ts made by the freed men on the place, for which they are to be paid, and at the end of the week those wish ing to remain will make contracts, and thc others will leave the plantation.-Savannah News. 23TA speoial to the Philadelphia Inquirer thus closrj its account of Mr. Stevens' aetiou : This end; the prospcet for territorial govern ment at tho South for this session."
