B- F. PERKY. Columbia, Sept. 16, 1865. To Bit Excellency, B F. Perry, Provis- ionml Governor of South Carolina : Kkupbcteo Sib: I had thought that it ’would have been of advantage to Sooth Carolina, under present eireumstauces, to awake euons public Act tor the eneourage- meui of immigration, sod to appoint a public ofieer to superintend the aauie, to ^protest the immigrant against fraud and lUipoeH'im, and te advise, direct and assist him in 'the choice of lands, an! to perform ouch other duties as might be imposed up on 4am by the Executive in the further- airr of the above objects. Please to par don me ifo’Q fur .addressing you on the metier. The preaeut labor system of the State hmt .uuenired such a shock from which, nnder ordinary circumstances, it will take jeara to recover. Our lands tu a great measure will lie idle, our produce will be merely nominal, and the,population which heretofore has been the mam reliance for cur experts, instead «f being a source ot income and prosperity, will be a heavy burden and an additional cause of adver sity. 1 may possibly be mistaken in these aurtuises, and 1 would be glad if it should be so; but it Will be wise, never- thrlnas, to take such steps as will most surely contribute te our speedy recovery from the terrible effects %f our deplorable lute revolution. 1 think the :uiiuignition to and aetUemeut amongst Us of nidus trious and frugal foreigners wi 11 be of great value to us. Millions of the good and industnons people of Ireland have already left their old homes and settled in the United States. Other millions of industrious, fm*al and orderly people have quitted Germany and other European countries to settle in A- merica. Most of them have gone to the Western States and there built up grcai communities. They have assisted in crea ting that immense wealth with which the Western States of the Union are blessed. Why should the South refuse to profit by . aueh obvious examples ? The population et the United State is increased every year by shout 800,000 immigrants, and gains much of labor eapaeity and comparative capital. Our State possesses 30,000 square miles of territory. This, in comparison With Ireland, would support a population of 30,000,000 souls or in comparison with Germany or France above 20,000,000 oaMla, And yet Germany, in spite of all fcer increased taxes, the disadvantages of her innumerable monopolies and corpora the extravagant prices of ring the lust thirty years those States, as likewise all other Western States, prove their cognizance by their of ficial acts and the appointment of commis sioners to encourage and protect immigra tion. Illinois. Missouri. Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, and other new States are all great producers, and are largely indebted to im migration tor their unexampled prosperity, in a country like ours, labor i> capital and population is wealth , and where there- fore, ihe one system of labor has been dis organized, another shoulu iitonedi.-ueiy le introduced w.thuut cavil and with the least delay. Lands rise in value with every new settlemcut, and decline with the dis continuance of any old useful establish ment. Communities grow in resources with every increase of their producers, and become bankrupt where the consum ers largely outnumber the former. How are we to expect new settlements, how are we even to keep up the established ones without immigration ? There may be some ill feeling in our State to the immigrant, on accouutof the large k effective part he has taken against us in the late war. But if we view the matter rightly, fairly and justly, we shall find that the immigrant has only proved his faith to the community in which he resided. If the Northern and Western adopted citizens and their countrymen have sided honorably with their respective States, have not the Southern adopted cit izens and their countrymen done the same for their Southern States ? I know that every community in the South, where a sufficient number of adopted citizens resi ded, has sent forth its corps of adopted warriors to the Southern armies. In a letter which I had the honor to address to his Excellency Governor Manning, in 1853, on the subject of German immigra tion, I pledged the faith of the immigrant to our State in her hour of need. Let us see how they have redeemed that pledge. Let us take South Carolina for an exam ple. The city of Charleston, with a Ger man population of about 3000 souls, has sent four full German companies to the field, and has kept them there until the final surrender of Johnston, besides hav ing furnished from her old German Fusil iers the one half of the brave old com- these tacts and how the immigrant be moet aurely the idol into firewood, could uo more have protected and his prosperity insured. been trusted for pertuuncucy than the fluc- 1.

That he should have an open office in Charleston, to respond to any immigrant for advice, protection, information, trans portation, and such other matters as may be of necessity. 6. That he should from time to time .report to the Executive of the State, and be always subject to his orders and in struction, and that he should receive his expenses and a reasonable compensation. I will not trouble your Excellency any longer, but submit the matter to your superior wisdom, with the hope that some thing may be done soon, and may conn bute to the happiness and prosperity cl our noble Palmetto-land. I am most respectfully, Your Excellency’s ob’t servant, JOHN A.

Not another company has gone from CharlcMon. and not a regiment from any part of the State, in wlrch there have not been adopted cit izens. The German settlement of al- halla has contributed to Orr’s and l>uno- vaut's regiments nearly every man capa ble of bearing arms, and is now almost destitute of sound working men, so many having beeu killed or crippled. If I may mention it here, I can aver that German blood first died the soil of Carolina in this contest, my own aiming the rest.

What would have been the condition of the South if the Confederacy had succeed ed? There are visionary minds which imag ine that we should have had a heaven up on earth if the Confederacy had been sue cessful. But that heaven upon earth, it had appeared, would have lasted about as long as the primeval Paradise. The devil Woulu have come in with a long tail and a three pronged pitch fork and made Short WOlk. tf In . there was a strong smell of sulphur about before the disappearance of the Confed eracy, and distinct marks of cloven feet upon a g-iod many of the public highways.

But the tempter came and invited us to eat the only tree in the gar den that was prohibited, and told us that we should not die, but be as the gods. Is he not a liar and the father of lies ? Wc say that even betore the fall of the Confederacy the germ of future discord and confusion hail been fully developed. It may not be generally known that, in us are based upon certaiu changes of color which it undergoes when brought in con tact with the proper reagents.

He then proposed to abdicate, but was persuaded to resume bis duties. He had proposed to visit Europe with his wile, of whose conduct lie probably had not the slightest cause for jealousy.

The border state^ would have been the manu facturing anu commercial states, the New England of the South, and slavery would have gradually beeu concentrated in the cotton growing region.

Dem- agogues iu each would have risen to fan the flames of sectional jealousy for their awn •♦Keqmdi^uienL Even durmg the war it was difficult to suppress the jeal ousy of Virginia influence which was man ifested in some of the Gulf states. What would it have been when the necessity ot mutual haliuony for preservation no long er existed ? South Carolina would have led off onoe more; the Gulf states follow ed ; secession would have been the recog nized remedy for every difficulty between the states and their government, and the consequence would have been perpetual strite and war between petty states until human existence would have become in tolerable. is it difficult, then, to believe that providence, in disappointing the presence of animal matters; and even when Stas’s process or some other is made use of to separate the strychnia in a pure form, there are so many difficulties in the way of the due recognition of these chro-' malic changes, that it would be exceed ingly unsafe to rely upon them if they were apparently present, or to conclude that strychnia had not been administered if they were not produced. Thus, u case is recorded in which four grains of strych nia weie certainly taken, the symptoms came on in an hour, and death took place in teu minutes afterwards, and yet the most careful chemical examination failed to find the poison in the body. In anoth er instance, four grains wore taken by mistake, and though death followed with rapidity, no truces of strychnia were de tected in the.contents of the stomach. In the case of Cook, poisoned with strychnia by Fulmer, no evidence of the presence of this substance was found in any part of the body. But, as vre have said, the poisoner is not to go free because chemistry cannot convict him. We cull to our aid the sci ence of physiology, and if strychnia has ; been taken into the stomach in quantity sufficient to cause death, or even in still smaller amount, we arc able to bring for- j ward such evidence of the fact as cannot tie questioned, n u, Die uuVj puWu, one exception—brucia, and this is also extracted from nux vomica—which uni fornily produces %cll marked tetanus, or. as it is called in the vernaculur tongue, locked jaw.

By a pro per attention and supervision we might perhaps choose ourimmigrants. Weeould perhaps have them of such character and means, that they would certainly enhance our general prosperity. It were vaiu to deny that mistakes may occur, that amoag the good some <4 the vicious sad worthless may come in. But it remains to he seen whether the firmer will Bet predominate Mr. Davis, it is true that, in the popu lar vote afterwards, Mr, D. was unanimous ly ciected. It had been supposed that he would select Mr. Baruwell as one of his constttouooal advisers. Instead of this. Mr. Memumiger was the fortunate (!) uiau—au able financier, "who soon engi neered tiie government upon the breakers. The friends of Mr. Barnwell may have forgiven Mr. Davis his forgetfulness of their distinguished leader. But if they did, wc never heard any evidence of the fact. The harmony of the first year ot the administration did not last long. Party spirit,'as fierce and relentless as it ever had been in the United States, soon reared its head. The administration, by its obsti nate adherence to incapable men, offended many; the conscription and the impress ments exasperated more, whilst others ml leged that Davis, in not retaliating for the military executions in the United States was trying to make favor for himself with the United States government. From these and other causes, such as the remo val of Johnston and the substitution of Hood, the man who was at one time the ido of the people became the most unpopular man in the Southern States. If the ex periment could have been safely tried, he Mould have been removed from office and another man made dictator. Nay, more; to such an extent had personal disaffection gone, that some of his oldest friends were preparing for reconstruction, because they had lost all confidence in the experiment for independence. These are facts which no intelligent man io the Southern States will deny, and they d^uiou.'trate that the confederacy was bora wit’i tbs seed of death, tbe elements of diuolutioa, in its bosom. The feroeity of party spirit, and the same contempt of law which produced the overthrow of the United States gov ernment in the South, gained strength b Poiions and their Detection. Chemistry has made such rapid progress io isolatitg the active principles ef poiso nous subttatices, and thus giving us in ex ceedingly small compass agents of tre mendous potency, that it, is doubtful whether the advance which has also been made in the direction of tests and anti dotes ha| been sufficient to neutralize tbe additiontl power she has coufered on the evil tu.fided. Thus the one tenth of a grain of acomtina, the active principle ot aconi'c, is regarded by h.gh authority as a a small quantity could be so administered as to attract no attention.

When she conies to thia country we suppose that the American board of commissiencrs of foreign missions will be among the first to pay hor respect. Their missiuuaiies it is wbo have brought that nation into being and relation to the civ ilized world. Their missionaries have been the ministers of state, occupying all the most important secretaryships and public offices, and have given the nation a written language, a constitution, and sug gested many of thoir best laws. The re ligion they have taught is yet the religion of the musses of the people- There is, however, the most perfect freedom of con science and equal lilierty to all religions, so that Roman Catholics and Episcopal ians freely establish themselves, the for tuer mostly French and the latter English, whose ships visit the port of HononluJa in great numbers. On one or two occasions the French, io their zeal to promote the aggrandizement of their nation and the circulation of their brandy, have made attempts to destroy the independence of the government^ of these islands. In 1842, alrench admiral did this, and, as a consequence, the Eo* glish government, at tbe request of the king, stationed a,body of troops there for Ui\s V Ol u\ t h* fat low ing year the governments of England and the uni ted States united in formally acknowledg ing and recognizing tho independence of these islands, but the treaty of 1846, gave England the preponderating influence. In 1851, there were rcnewedly hostile efforts made by France, interrupted by the protests of the English and American consuls. A constitutional plan of govern ment was formed, by the advice of the American missionaries and merchant!, and at lust there was a project for the an nexation of these islands to the United States, which was broken off on the acces sion of the late king, in 1854. There i«, we suppose, no prospect of this being re newed ; but the visit of the queen dowa ger to England and to the United States will, no doubt, be full of important con sequences to our future relations with those islands, becoming daily more impor- tributed more to theadvrncementof phys iology than any other creature that inhab its the earth—allowing his abdomen to be ripped open, his brain exposed, and his nerves excised, without uttering a croak or moving a muscle ; and, after all these things, he will live on in a state of quies cent beatitude as long as you please, whilst hour by hour the scientific physiologist watches him, and records the observed phenomena.
