From th, pul,i,hers, D.

Our brother of the Crina Tuncs i wrong for tlhis once, the paragraph wi hich we copied, not irect ly frot his pa per but another, holding an Mr. A. Stanfoot a: s' indler anl deinder of po:r freed men, was inserted entire and as 0trml. eredited to the Or:mngeburg Timnee. We did not entertin the idea t'at so honor able and respectab!e a paper as the Ti:nie, bad any connection with so seurry an in dividual as the afresaid Sian(oot. Nor was our printer to blame eit her, he put tFing up the paragraph verbatimi, a~ per copy. Should our brother o>f the Times "1ver visit us he necd ha'e no fear of be lug placed in ju.lapi.itionl withi person!s oT questionable character, and we extend himt a cordial im'itattion to come and prove it. Soutth Carbina-a horms for the Industricus Tmmigrant, Is the,title of a pamrphlet, r.1Ablish1ed by the G3ommuissioner of Immtigration, Gen. WVagener, a enpyv of which we have received. It is a brief skeh of the his tory and re-sources of South Carolina, based upon historical and official data, and contains 48 pages, and as a text book to the Farmer and Immigrant is of inealculable advantage. Acc ompanying it, is a neat and accurate map of all the principal towns, together with rivrs, railroads and the sea-coast. It comes. fvom the press of Mr. Joseph Walker, Charleston, and is very untly printedI. In connlection with the subji:t of Tm rnigration, we call attention to a ci1rn!a in another column from Gen. Wagener, to Laind owners in this State. Its impor tance demands an earnest interest <nl the part of our people. Immxigration is one of the vital neces-iries, an:d a sure means by which a portion 'of ouir former pros perity ma:y be recovered.
