Wednesday,April 17, 1878. > V Immigration?The Viticultuists. We commend to the attention of our v readers the letter of "A Citizen" which a .appears in our columns this morning. It j, refers to the committee who have come v from Washington to South Carolina "pro- tl spccting as pioneers of what may at no j( distant day be a stream of hardy stal- j .wart producers." They will be here to- j' day or to-morrow. From the accounts e .published in the daily and weeWy papers t Ave learn that those gentlemen have Been u making an extended tour through our j State, and we observe that wherever they have, hitherto gone the town and county ? ;authorities have received them kindly ^ and entertained tht-m hospitably. Everv c facility has been afforded them of visiting t the various sections of our country, and the farmeas everywhere have shown the utmost interest in the subject which has brought those gentlemen to the South. They have come hither in the interest of 11 ;that large and increasing class of immi- ^ grants who are now turning their atten- ?' ition to the Southern States. The stream ? of such immigrants is at the present time * only a little rivulet which has its source ^ in the North just as tt^c Mississippi has, 11 and which effort on the part of our |>eo- * pie may direct Southwards with increas- 1 iug flow and value until it Khali over- 0 spread and populate all our ample ^ domains, and be a greater blessing to us s than the Father of Waters is to the great 1 South-western States. s The committee consists of General * Striolenskie, Thomas B Bryan, Dr. How- j N ?rd and others. They represent an im- ' migration association of capitalists in 1 Washington and the North whose desire a is to*introduce colonies of foreigners from the grape-growing countries of E rope and plant them in those regions best adapted to viticulture. So far as we have been informed, there is no better home * for the vine than the up-country of South Carolina. Those gentlemen are here to investigate and recommend, and we hope our enterprising Abbeville farmers and land-owners will give the project every encouragement. It is of more importance to us than to them to secure a thrifty, hard-working population whose industry will most certainly increase the value of our land and instil new life into our monotonous system of Agriculture by introducing a variety of crops. Our ^ .pooi)le have land enough and to spare. If our landowners could only see their own t interests in the true light, they would f .consider it profitable to themselves to 1 make a deed of gift to some industrious r frugal colonists of their superfluous o acres. If he is a public benefactor who " makes two blades of grass grow whore c only one grew before, much more is he a I benefactor who helps to introduce colo- c nists to regions that now never hear "the " plouglibov's whistle or the milkmaid's e song." We need men much moro than v measures for the improvement of our ^ State in husbandry, and we should do all 0 in our power to help such an undertaking as the one represented by the committee n of viticulturistR. ? Two pernicious fallacies entertained by a too many of our farmers are that cotton is d the great Southern crop and the negro is n the great Southern laborer; hence the ^ discountenancing in practice if not in v theory of a variety of crops, and the small n encouragement given to white immi- e> ? - ? . . o gration; and while the western prairies |afld forests are being made populous by 9( tho hundreds of thousands of itnmi- o grants who come to the New World Keek- ^ ing new hornee, the fertile plains and val- [( J.eys of the South are in great part the habi- ^ tation of the fox and the rabbit. Unless p we disabuse our minds of these fallacies, 81 Northern capitalists and European immi- fr grants will have nothing to do with us. m They will see that we are joined to our n idols, and they will let us aloue. 1 ?m ? W vi The Bull and the Bear. C The last news from Europe confirms ^ the impression which the telegrams of the ?<< past three weeks have produced?that, af- bi tor all, the war that seemed unavoidable between Britain and Russia is likely to be ur averted. In the interests of humanity, the whole civilized world will orav that H peace may be preserved. The resignation Ot Earl Derby, and tha appointment of the t|, ]E:?rJ Salisbury to the office of Minister o' b* foreign Affairs have had a most benefi- ej; cial and pacifying result. The vacillation .of half-hartedness of Derby, who clearly V( was not ii> accord yjth his fellow cabine* <>t minister had the undesirable effect of eiji- P4 boldening Russia and making her sup* pose that England would submit to any- ni thing rather than go to war. Salisbury's ,vc first^oftkial act?the issuing of his note Jpj to Russia and the great powers?showed 0i the Gzar that England was not the peace- pc at-any-price country of Derby. Its firm Wl and manly tone had a very pacifying ef- Fj feet. It showed that the surest way to ra jkeep the peace is not to bo afraid to of fight. |)f Russia, moved by Salisbury's note, be- p, gan forthwith to sound the other European al : powers. France refused outright and in unmistakable terms to form any combination against England. Austria already wa$ the recognized and ally of England* ^ Italy proclaimed complete neutrality. M Greece, with her ports and islands so convenient^ situated for strategic purposes in the expected war, was plainly leaning towarcja Englajjd. And as for Germany, the laud of Bismark, Russia got no en- n couragement mora} or financial from that ft empire. Tho Muscovite saw himself teo- J* lated though victorious, And unable to y cope alone with the army of Austria and Hie navy of England^ The poor Turk eirppled and on crutches;"had"promised ?o tune the Russian side; but what'was c, he against so many?- A.* a consequorice pussj^. begins to show a more concilia- ^ porv spirit.

The Deuce of Clubs. We call attention to the sensible lett f "Savannah Side" in our columns tli lorr.ing. It is wise, well-tempered, ar fell-timed. Writers such as our corrc londent, whoso one sincere desire is reservo nnnnimity in the democrat1 kill always command the respect ai onfldence of the great body of the pc ile. Two weeks ago we referred to tl ubjeet of which he treats?the formati< f two clubs at one place, and he agre k ith us in deprecating sucli a proceedii nywhere, but especially at Abbevil Ye are not very old ourselves, and ho| 'ourt House. Neither "Savannah Sid< lor ourselves are opposed to young in< o keep young in spirit even when old oars, and certainly have no desire to r >ress, or oppose the feneration to whi< re belong. No opposition to young m< an be connected with our article of tv reeks ago except by those who desi nd would create dissension. An ingei >us writer in the Medium of lit . eek was pleased to put into and then e: ract from that article "malicious insinu >ns" which it certainly did not origina y contain, and we agree with him entir y that his "insinuations" are "unfoun d and utterly false." The offending a icle was plain-spoken and unambiguou ,nd we are not surprised that its tru >roved unpleasant. It is not usual with us to notice comm lications that appoar in other newsp ?ers, and we do it thus incidentally b ause we do not wish it to be believi hat we are old and greyheaded. 1/t'illll UI UU0I M HCVM# Last Friday William Marcy Twee nore generally known as "Boss Tweed lied in his prison cell in Ludlow Stre nil.

The County Club is con osed of delegations of seven from ea< jbordinate Club.

Upon many important questions in tli entral Club the vote is taken not by clu lit by ayes and noes in which each men ;r votes as an individual. This will gi\ i Abbeville township twenty-one vot< id all can bo present at any meeting.

It so happen- p e- ed that Simon became enamored with ,jj Miss Sullie McCaslan, an orphan of six' teen or seventeen years, and ward of *j( ;n William Washington", also a colored citiiro zen of the classic groves of Santuek, and rc a neighborhood king among his fellows. Vf n Sullie is of that (]t of INTENSIFIED BLACKNESS 1,1 W x- which is spoken of bv poets when they H. tt. wish to describe night, but she possesses y, youth, a comely countenance, and plump }<] l* proportions. Before the tender hearted d, e- Simon had known her a day Cupid had b; j. shot more arrows into his hide than a rc porcupine has quills, while Sallie Sl felt so much sympathy for Simon's de- {,!< ploruble condition that she soon began to iSC th love mm in return, nui, iuu um o?.? mf, OI that "the course of true love never does jj; run smooth," proved equally as true in tl u" this case as it has in the* thousands of g, a- cases which have preceded it. Sallie pos- \j sessed a guardian spirit, (which Simon jt ^ regards as a demon,) in the shape of an \ old uncle who has about as much ro- ai manco in his composition as a side of- s sole-leather. As long as Simon and ai Sallie kept their secret to themselves, ALL WENT WELL, * d but the aforesaid uncle found out one J"1 ," day what was up and the promptness P 0t with which Simon found himself deposi- 11 I ted outside of the door, and the threats ai that were to be executed if that young sl ln man was again found loafing around that 55 vicinity were truly distressing.

As the j, or days, weeks and months came and went, tl Jr, Simon's heart still yearned for the object e is. of his affections, and she was equally a willing that he should becomo the pos- r * sessor of the boon?a true woman's hand h >s" as well as her heart.

'hose figures, as Mr. Gillln says, are bewildering" in their amounts, and othing in the way of political economy in be more important than a thorough lvestigation of the causes which have h1 to such colossal results. If the war, then, became mainly a queson of endurance, Russia would go to ie wall beyond a peradventure. But England will not have to fight lone. Already she has stirred up the reeks and Hungarians to active sympajy, and Roumauia, through whose terri>ry the only communication by rail with :ussia exists, is in a state of feverish nstility on account of the projected rape r Bessarabia. Besides, the Turkish rmy will hardly remain fraternal with iat"of Russia, and the complication will ocomc very serious for the Czar when the Old Land goes down to the war."

Zamacona, the Mexican repre.-enta:e received last night, informing him of e occurrence. The reasons for recogzing the Diaz Government are that it is shown a disposition to arrange alJ_ atters in dispute between the two Gov" nments, and has given evidence of its rnestness in that direction, having (long other things sent Federal troops to e frontier to preserve the peace, ihus ppleuienting the inefficient militia, msequently no raids havo occurred on e Rio Grande for the last three months. rtainly none of a serious character.
