Thc Great aud Important Question.
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. A little prac
tical f.^rcs ght and a little timely energy will do
great thin rs for South Carolina in this directi>*i>.

Is thc South to Have No liest?
Verily vre fear not. 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? Do they not pray with
fervor for tho dawn of tait auspicioui div when
thc benignant ?I:HJCUC?B of peace shall prevail in
?he councils ef our harassed and unsettled coun
try ' How much longer will tho kont-Bt, cnlight

Trouble Among thc Negroes on thc St n
Island IMantutions.
An order bas been issued to Capt.Ii. C.
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.
