CtonJ?Tucd/roj? tht'Fevt York 8*n May, 3. _ From present indications it in confi dently expected by the commissioners of emigration tbnt the influx of foreigners Unding t? New York this year will be v cry mach greater thin'has erer beeb kuo?n bvfore. Binee tho 1st of January . 81,11-1 immigrants have arrived, and the cellmate for . the year, based upon ,'. knoW?ndge of *tbe<- movement iu' other countries, puts the number to arrive in 1880 At'400,000.' The record of thVonly yean, approximating to this ia: 1849, 220.603; ?850, 212,706; 1851, 39.601; 1852,800,992; 185$, 284,015 ; 1854,319,. 223 ; 1866, 288,41.8 ; 1867,242,781; 1803, 213,695 ; 1869 258,989; 1870, 212,170; 1871, 229,683 ; 1872, 294,581 ; 1878 266, 818. What has started this enormous rush it is extremely difficult to under? stand. That one-fourth of those who have come this year should have been from starving Ireland seems natural ; hut even a greater number havo comefrom Germa ny,'where there Ja flo rry of fem?n?, and many thousands more who aro rormiftatly ; welHo^o farmers from England. Holland Norway. Sweden and Denmark. ; With the arriv?t of BO many emigrants, Caatlo "Garden is an exceeding busy place. Since the 1st of February tuero Have been on an'Average, thteo etoamahlps per day ar riving with long lists of steerage passen* gore, and the average number per steam er since January 1 bas been more than ? 840/ 1 The largest i lot landed from any "w steamship was 1,332 , from the Ohio, on April 23. The receipts at Castle Garden have averaged more thaa 070 per day thus far this year and that is enough te make lively times for everybody about the Garden., The bedlam of the Stock Exchange is hardly more noisy and con fusing to the casual visitor than is the scene presented by the immigrants daily in this place, which is to them the por tal of the New World. As they arrive they "are ali brought hero direct, bj barge or steamboat, from tho vessels ia which they reach this port, and . from here they start anow for inland destina tiona. SCENES IN THE GARDEN. Looking down from Secretary Jack son's windows upon the great cecliral rotunda, the throng is thickest about thc central tailed-in stalls, where the moncj changers, ticket sellers 'and registran are. Here and there, kept in Bingle fib by railings that only.allow them to read lt..- desks one by ono, they move patient ly and slowly. .At another point near bj tue crowd excitedly about a man who standing or. a bench , yells at the top o his voice a series of names. - Ho is an nouncing thou for whom letters an held or friends are waiting outside, au? his communications seem to awaken tbi liveliest interest in all, even tb>se win are furthest from nuy reasonable expec talion of Ecoir.g anybody they know o receiving anything iront anywhere. A another point they appear to have extern ponied a mass meeting about an em ploy co of tho Garden, who is making i stump Bpecch to thom ic their own lan grt?ce.. ?They are Scandinavians goini to .Minnesota, and he ia telling them al about how they will travel, hat long they will be on tho rosi where they will stop on route, how t get laud, at what points beat inducoment for employment are offered, warnie them against the tricks and wiles c abarrara, advising them in regard to multiplicity of details in the new cond! tiens of ?ifs upon which they arc cate! . jag, and patiently answering" from hi comprehensive store of practical know ' edge the' questions they nave to ask hin PICTURESQUE COSTUMES.

Concerning their financial conditic it is found quito, impracticable to arri nt any positive knowledge, of the amou of money brought into the country ! * I m rn lb ratita, hut1 an approximate ld may bc ?er?ved from tb*e tact that t motiey changers in thb Garden frequei ly exchange aa much as $160,000 ? diem for them. Then to this must added, iu tho general estimate, a gr? deal of money brought hero in the fo of i drafts on banks and comm ere homes, concerning which the eruigrati ?-.-.:horltiee- catt know nothing, and inconsiderable amount, it is but fair suppose, of American morioy bought tho otherside of the ocean. The av age sam supposed to be brought by es immigrant in.late-years has been abc $50, but that ia probably an under'? hiato for those Tiho have arrived t . year.

In sudden fright from their onslaught, for they were literally climbing on her, she failed to. recognise them, and dropped fainting lo tho floor, carrying the four of them down with her. It was several minutes before the officers could disen tangle the quintet, get them to their feet and soothe their agitation. A good forty per cent, of all the immi grants wh* have arrived at thia port this year have been of the most valuable class for the material development: of the country, healthy, able-bodied,.

States Engineer upon the practicability of opening the Wateree and Santee Riv era to navigation should encourage re newed effort to secure boating facilities on the Broad and Gongareo Rivera,, so that boats may have unobstructed pass* age from tho mountains to the sea. A ?mail appropriation having been made by Congress for a survey of Broad River, Hr. J. P. Carson, Chief Eneiucor, nader the direction of Genoral Gulmor?, of tho United States Engineer Corps, made a survey of the Broad Biter last Winter, assisted br cur townsman, Mr. J. Recd Stoney. Mr. Carson, at tho re quest ' of Colonel. S. A. Pearce, Chair man of the Committee on Navigation o? tho Columbia Board of Trade, gi vet) a summary of his report, which is as fol lows,>iz.: i I recommend that the river he opened to a uniform channel of five yarda wide apd two feet deep from Bull alnico to thc foot of Ninety-Nine Island Shoals, a dis tance of ninety-four and a quarter miles, at a cost of 987.000; repairing the old Lockhart Canal $5,000; a channel frors Ninety-nine Is'mda to Green River, N. C., forty-six and three-quarter miles, $38,000 ; total $80,000. Also, that for improving theTygerand Pacolet Rivers $5,000 he expended. A channel of thia alee will be sufficient foi pole boats of more than double the pres ent capacity of those now used. To con ? struct a channel. 20 yards wide and 8C inches deep, suitable for Bteamers foi the 94} miles without considering thc difficulties to be encountered on some ol the shoals where the grade is from 10 tc 15 feet to the mile, would cost ten time: the above amount, which the conditior of the country will not justify. The population is 42 to the square mile. Cotton produced per equare mile ?l.t bales, and cf country on either aids of thi river which would be benefitted equal tx 9} miles. .

Philadelphia, says the Prttbyterian, Bright Eyes, au Indian maiden, told the story of the wrongs of her tribe the Poncas. and described the condition of her people in the new home to which they were banished, as follows: Borne Onie In the. winter, of 1877 roy father received a letter from my uncle, who ia now in tho Indian Territory, say? lag that the tribe , had been ordered to leave tbs Reserve and go to the Indian Territory; that they had refused, bat the Inspector told them he would take them to see the President. Accordingly ten of the chiefs started, as they supposed, for Wash ington. . Several weeks elapsed and we heard nothing from them, m'y mother said to rae once, "What if the white men havo taken them and left them in a ?trange Elace, where they cannot find their.way orne.". 1 laughed et her, and told her it waa impossible for the government to treat the chiefs of a nation with whom it made treaties in that dishonorable way'; that it might cheat them, and all that, out it would treat with respect at least men with whom it was intending to make a treaty. Some time after this my ancle, with tho other chiefs, came to the Omaha tribe on their way back to their own Re servo, ragged, weary, ana foot-sore. They bad beenleft in the Indian Territory be cause they would hot select a piece of land there. Do you know what I felt as I sat there and heard my uncle tell, his history, and saw the tears running down my mother* cheeks, and knew how pow erless we were to help, or even avenpo? I felt as though If there were a God ?e must have created us for tho sole purpose of torturing us. I think if.it had not been for the memory of the noble Chris? tiau woman with whom I lived at one time, I should have become an utter dis believer in Ged and humanity. My un cle told us how they wore loft in a str?nge country, among a straUge people, whoas language they aid not understand, to find their way homo on foot, without guide, money, or interpreter. The people through whose Ianda they passed-land: which had once been their own-?ot theil dogs on them. They lived on raw cort and walked barefoot through tho enow They were shelterless on the open prai rie in one of the meet terrible storms o: the year. I think it. waa the, nest daj after the chiefs had arrived on the Orunhr Reserve that they met in my father*! house, to consult as to the best means o saving themselves from being Benito thi Indian Territory, and'there asked us te write the story of their wrongs, which ha since bee i published. The Rev. Willinn Hamilton wrote tho following telegram " Tb (he President of the United State* Waa It .V? your authority that the mei you sent to take us down to the Indiai Territory to select a home left us thor without money br interpreter, or bow V find our way back, aa best we could, be cause we could, not? And did yon tel them to say to us, 'if you don't eel cet i home' here, yon shall be driven fror Sour present homes at the point of th ayonet?' Please answer, aa we are ii trouble. Wo have been thirty eleys 1 falling back as far as the Omaha, tiree] hungry, shoeless, and foot-sore, and wit! hearts and spirits broken and ead." ' No notice was ever taken of it. It m fd ti ful to seo how hard they tried tb bi ?eve that it waa not the government tb? had treated them in this way, and that to Inspector bad don? it on hts own reapoi Blbility. They said to mo, "If tb whito people and the government hear < this, they will not take our land from nit. The chiefs told us at the council, thi when they refused, to take any .land A he Territory they were told that the ab diera weald take them down At the poit or tho bayonet. They then said that ri ther than be taken to tho Territory the were willing to live with the Omaha tri! on the Omaha Reserve.

What a light broke in her face when she saw that it was father and ll My at*it? ca Bick as waa, rose out of her bed on the flooi greet us, looking more like a skeleton tl n human being.. My uncle said to : "Daughter, all we have to offer you I seat on the floor. All our chaira w taken from us." I asked my cousin 1 the children ware. She answered, " children have all been aick, but are 1 ter now. I think it ia so strange-1 not one of them baa been taken from Not a family in the tribe but have hai .mourn for some loved ones..

I l|y cousin told mo of mach' more which I have not time to repeat. My father end II found the. whole tribe on toe point of breaking away. There were numbera who I would have broken away, in apite of all efforts. My father told them, of what Mr. Tibbies and others were trying to do for them, and used all his' powers of per suasion to -induce them to stay in tho In dian Terr" : >ry till the suit which waa to be brought against the Government with regard to their latid was decided. He made White Eagle, the head chief, and others promised to keep their tribe on the Beserve until they could hear from tho i lawyers who were to conduct the snit, that they had been set free. And they ! are now waiting with longing hearts for that message. While we were down there. ! two of the leading chiefs wore arrested j and confined in Fort Ueno, on tho ground that they did not want to stay there, and ! kept the tribe in a state bf dissatisfaction. This Fonca case ia only a singlo specimen ! among hundreds of others ot the way In* dbms have, been treated for rearo. It seems eo bard that we cannot ne allowed to rest in peace. Wo havo o right to be heard in whatever-concerns' us., Your government baa'driven un hither abd tiithor Uko cattle : and because peor hu man nature, unable to bear such treat ment, retaliates in tho only way ?peuto it to free itself, you call us savages and monsters of cruelty and ingratitude,'arid lay on us Bullmore heavily that which we hate, the yoko of bondage.

Wo want to be able to call our lands our own, and to bo free from tho lear of having them token from.us at any moment that it may please the government.

WASHINGTON, May 6, 1880. About a year ago Capt. C. B. Phillips, of the United States engineer corp?, was designated by Gen. H. G. Wright, chief I of engincors, to w>.e charge of the exam i inatioa and su .v*ys of the Catawba, Bau? [ tee and'Wateree Rivera. Capt. Phillipa submitted a plan for the execution of tho I work m May, 1879, in which be mention ed tho difficulty that would ho met on account of the small appropriation athis disposal at 1 tho'combJned length of the .rivers, bi?t. under instructions from the war department the surveys were begun by Assistant Engineer Wolbrcch.l In Ben* timber, 1879, who has submitted to the department detailed reports ts to the. physical characteristics of each river, estimates of the cost of improvement, nnd accompanies the report with eovoral maps illustrating hia examinations. Commenting upon the report, Capt. Phillipa says tho total fall of the Catawba river from its source in McDowell coun ty, N; C.. to Old Fort, a diatance of 140 miles, Where it crossed tho lino iuto South Carolina, and where tho examination began, ls about 800 feet. The river lr. eo obstructed by falla and rapids that navi gation is confined solely to aklfia, which ply upon tho poola of comparatively still water that nie occasionally ?net with. After crossing the Btato lino the river, after flowing lb a southerly direction for k distance of 65 miles, changes its nardo, at its junction with Wateree creek, to that Of tho Watcreo river. Tho fall iu thia distance of 55 miles is about 325 feet. ; . c Pi Tho portion of tho Catawba rive* fm South Carolina, while generally lew rapid than in North Carolina, is only navigated by skifia or, flat-boats engag?e tn a purely local traffic. The Cata/wbi baa so great a fall that any attempt ?1 improvement, outside of a system, of focki ana dams would be'entirely oa| of thi ?uestl?n. Tho river from Old fart,N C., to tho' mouth of Wateree creek, Bout! Carolina, has a fUl bf over 1,200 feet lt a distance bf . about 195 miles, pr about ?4 feet to tb? mile.

Thi rough estimate (s nono top largo ; bot ii careful instrumental BUivcy os tho rive would be necessary, in order to prcpar reliablo estimates of the cost of BUG) works as would bo required for the ita provement of this river. Capt* PhlUipssaya he feels quite -pod 'Adept, that the most zealous adv?cate?; tho Improvement of tho Catawbas woul hardly, expect tho General Govemmei to undertake auch a work' at presen especially as tho lower end of the rivor 1 nearly 800 caliea from the sea via th Watere.o and Santeu riven, (identicall the ?samestream, though under differer names,) both of which would need in pro vern ont in order to carry the' produc of the Catawba country to the ocean. Of the Wateree,Capt. Phillipa remarl further, that it is a mere continuation < the Catawba., It and tho name of W? toree is really a misriomor. The Wat? ree, after flowing in a geueral souther! direction for a distance bf 105 mile unites with the Congarco river, and b low their confluence the river is knott as tho San tee. The upper portion of tl Wateree, for a distance of sovenlei miles, is very much like tho Catawl river, being a rapid mountainous Etroar with a total fall of seventy-five feet, < about' four and a half feet to the mil Over'tko remaining portion of the riv tho fall is less; it is free from shoals ai rapids, and could bo mado navigable % l?irht-draught Bt?amers at a coroparativ ly slight expense^ Tho only obstructio in the way of a three-foot navigation < this portion of the river are fallen a? o verhauging troer, snags, stem ps. ?S Tho country throUgn which tho Water flows is exceedingly fertile and well pe ulsted. The products of the country o mostly shipped by rail from the. town Camden, the most prominant point up the river. A light-draught ?teamer ni {' dies upon tho river, engaged in pun oc'ai trnfflo ; Other navigation is confio to flat-boats and timber in the form rafts. . Ho says lt ia very desirable that t] section of county should have froe ace to the sea via the San tee iii ver. *>.S modest wanta of tho vicinity would satisfied for the present by the expen tore on the part of the general govci ment of a comparatively smell arnon To secure a three foot navigation o tho lower-portion of the rivor, Mr. W brecht estimates that an expenditure about $80,000 would be required. Ca Phillips thinks this amount might wtU devoted to. the improvement of river, and that, a rapid development o valuable section of country would foll The whole amount could bo profit* expended dating a single fiscal year. Tho last df these surreys was thai the Sante?, upon whioh Cant. Phill remarks that it takes its name at thee fluence bf th? Wate reo and Conga rivers, at a point 184 miles, by rii from tl ?} ocean, into which it empties mllee south of Wi nyah Bay. The ri flows through an exceedingly fertile sion, cotton being the Drinoinal sts on tho upper river, and rice tb?priucl agricultural product on tho lower ri Its banka are lined with extensive fore principally of pine, which furnish-li quantit?s of naval erores-j and the luca trade would be very great if not for difficulties in the way of navigation. Itis dcsirabls ti sccsrs as snober ed navigation of 7 feet at a low stag water as nigh as Wright's Bluff, at 154 milos from the ocean, and to sei a depth of 6 feet, also at low water, i the remaining distance of 80 miles te bead of the river, that ie, to the cot ence of tho Wateree and Ooagaree vii In order to accomplish this desired provemont it wilt be necessary to 1 and exc?vate somewhat over 1,000 c yards of rock at low Falls Landing the uppor river, whore it ia intend? secure only a 6- foot navigation, to struct about 200 linear feet of dikln Dantsler's Bar below (7-foot joavigs wanted) to d???g? abo ni, 3 .GOO ? Srds of material from the channe icken creek, still lower down the r and to provide fora safo channel ai a shifting sand-bar at tho rocuth ol river, on which but 5 feet of watei now to be found. Besides, the riv much obstructed over Its entire le by snags i jd overhanging and fi trees. The most difficult problem determine the beet way of lmprovin enc iro'.y avoiding tho dangerous bs tho mouth of thc rircr. lie says : As the Santeo near ita m is separated from Winyah Bay by oi narrow strip of very low land, it e? Eerfectly practicable to provide a t etween the two. Musquito creek crooked natural water way coane the river and the bay, and migh deepened and straightened at a coi below that which ' would be requin permanently improvo the bar. A across at the narrowest point, com clog at Minim creek,higher up the; es suggested by Mr. Wolbrecht, would be a shorter but more expensive route, thia by wey of Musquito creek. The subject of this cut serosa assumes special Impor tance when It is considered that if the Bmeral government ever constructor a no of inland, uavigation near the At lantic coast, a route across tho peninsula between the Santeo and Wlnyab Bay will necessarily form one of ita links. MT.. Wolbrecht estimates tho cost of a cut .tia Musquito Creek at $07,000, and the cost of a cut from Minim creek at $1,58,000. By either route be contemplated a fat fifty feet wide and seven feet in depth' at low water. . Mr.- Wolbrecht'a estimated cost of the improvement of the river on the plan stated above, including a eut across to Winyab Bay via Musquito creek, amounts to $104,427. Capt. Phillips re ports, in conclusion, that tho importance of the Bantoe folly warrants the ?expend?* turo of tho above amount on tbe part : of the general government, in view bf the impetus that would be given to naviga tion and tbe rapid development of a very fertile country .which would no doubt follow,-F.
