Charleston A'ewt and Oouritr : The Kev. J. I. Bonner, D. D., tba editor of the Ano ciate Reformed Ihresbytertan, and president of tho Due Wost female College, is at the Charleston Hotel.

A dispatch from Hampton C. II. to the Atlanta Constitution, dated February 6,6ays : "Rev. 8am Jones arrived yesterday and preached last night to a large congregation at the M. E. church. People flocked in from the country to hear him-some com ing a distance of six or seven miles. He will remain several days and seems hopeful of a 'season of refreshing.' " Dr. Jones is one of the ablest ministers in the South, and whet ever ho goes is much admired for Ids eloquence and power. There were a great many people in town on Monday, and from 12 m. to 5 p. m. things T?C:O particularly lively. Tho day was most favorable to a free uso of anlent spirits, and the amount of drunkenness ! was distressing to behold. Taking every thing into consideration, however, tho or der of the day was very good, thc only thing occurring to creato any excitement of consequence being tho effort of two young men to resist arrest by the police. Out of the two or three thousand people in town only seven or eight were cnlaboosed, A Mr. Kidd, of Oglethorpe c.unty, Ga., sold out his possessions in that comity re cently and moved to Texas, but he was so disappointed lu the country that he at once came back to his old home in Georgia, where ho expects to remain contentedly the remainder of his life. Those who arc thinking of emigrating fram Anderson county to Texas, or any other section of the Union, are admonished to profit by this mon's experience by remaining where they arc. There ls no better section of country on the continent than Anderson county, when everything is taken into con sideration. Wc arc indebted to the Hon. Walter M, Gibson, of Lahina, Sandwich Islands, fora number of copies of the Commercial Adver tiser, thc official organ of the Hawaiian government, published at Honolulu, from which wc learn that His Magesty King Kalakaua has departed Iiis kingdom on t pleasure voyage around thc world, leaving the reins of government during his absence in the lia reis of Iiis sister, Her Royal High ness the Princess Liliuokalani's, heiress tt tiie Crown. Thc United States is on tin programme of King Knlakaua's voyage. The total amount of property rcturnct for taxation in thc town is $S3l,309, o which $414,725 is real and $-116,584 personal Two hundred and forty-eight persons havi returned for street duty, against 249 for los year. Tho amount of taxes that will b raised this year on the levy of ll mills wil be between $1,200 and $1,303, besides tb street tax of about $500. Thc amount rc turned last year for taxation was $701,042 or which $357,580 was real and $103,40 personal, showing an increase in the valu of real estate for tho past year of 857,14 and in personal property of $13,119. One of our merchants thc other evenin detected a negro man with a piece of mci he had stolen from bis store, and gave hil his choice betweon going to jail and takin a whipping. Thc thief preferred Ott whi] ping, and thc merchant accordingly adrah istered it in thc best manner ha knew hov and to thc 'entire satisfaction of all coi cerned, thc thief not excepted. This is tl third or fourth case of the kind that lu occurred in ,this placo within the pa twelve months, from which it seems tin the petty thieves themselves would bc a corumodated by thc re-enactment of tl old ante-bellum whipping post law. During the past week there has been t almost deadlock at Columbia in the shi mont of freights to tho up-country fro Charleston, b/ the C. & G. R. R., and co sidcrable complaint from merchants ii been made in consequence. The block h been caused by tho failure of the wo< supply of thc Greenville Road, extreme bad weather of tho last two or three wee nnd the delay in tho receipt of a cargo coabfor use In the freight engines of t road, which have generally been convert into coal burners. At one time there w< seventy loaded cara at Columbia awaiti transportation, but a break has been mai and tlie authorities are sending forward t freight with all possible dispatch. The stock law goca into effect in that p lion of Oconee county lying south of I Air Line Railroad on thc 1st of March, o as might have been expected there is a gc deal of dissatisfaction in tba* section consequence, and some of thc disgrunt! citizens haye employed counsel to resist enforcement by legal process. Thc Vf halla CbunVr of last week contains an ccllcnt article on the subject, directed ma ly to the opposition party, advising th to discontinue their opposition and to q olly rmbmit to tho change, as there is li hope of success for their efforts. The C rier't advice is good, and in less than twe months UKI:.a who nra making SO much j about tho chango will be its strongest frle -ar* we will bo surprised. isushyhcad, Chief of tho Cherokee dians in North Carolina, was in town WCCk soliciting. euulriu????iJB iu juirc'i clothes and food for his tribe.

The riebens Fcne#. Thu Boord of County Commissioners of ] tlds County on last "'utsd-y approved the account of the Commissioners of Pickcns County for building the lino fence between the two counties under the provisions of ? the fence law for Pickcus County at $1,402.80, to be |>aid out of the taxes to be levied next year. This postponement of | payment is necessitated from the fact that instead of having a surplus there is now a small deficiency, and the tax levy for Coun ty purposes' for the present year has been reduced to two and a half mille, which will not more than pay the current expenses of j the County. We think the action of our Commissioners in just, and that it will bc acceptable to all parties concerned. Immigrant Labor. Tin.-iv can be no question as to tba wisdom of inducing white immigrants to this State from either tho North or Europe. Those who have come from thc North and settled permanently in our midst hs vc always been valuable acquisitions to our population and society, and it mattered not whether they carno as day laborers or as men of means, The European immigrants have likewise proven their worth and efficiency, and aro slowly but surely working their way into thc good graces of our people, and will soon take that position in thc South that their thrift and industry entitle them to. It is true many of those who came into tho State six or seven years ago, when the sub jeet of immigration waa first agitated, were worthless! from having remained in North ern cities long enough to acquire bad habits, but with tho exercise of proper care in sc lecting laborers good and reliable mon can be obtained. In this County, and probably throughout the whole up-country, Senator Crayton hos doubtless tested more thoroughly than any one else tho efficiency of European labor for farming purposes, and has satisfactorily demonstrated the practicability of employ ing u upon thc farms of tuc South. Ile re cently gave n reporter of the New? and Courier tho benefit of his experience with immigrants, which wc reproduce on ac count of the general information furnished on thia important subject. He said: I tldink it was about five years ago that I got out thc first immigrant to work on my farms in Anderson county. I first got one man and bis wife from Castle Garden, and next season I brought out from Germany his children and eight other immigrants The following season I brought out fifteen or twenty families, who are now located on my place and tho places of niy neighbors in Anderson county. The cost of transportation from Germany to New York or Baltimore is about $30 pe immigrant. From New York to Anderson, by way of Charleston, the furo is $15, and from Baltimore, by way of the Vir Line Railroad, thc cost is $10.50. Arrangements havo recently been made by Mr. Melehers. However, by which the cost from Charleston to Anderson has been fixed at $2.60. I pay ??hom for their work on an average of $12 a month for males and $0 a month for females, and out of this they have to find them selves. Thc wages are about the same os are paid for negro laborers, and the quality of the work is better. They are as fine ploughmen as I have ever seen. The women hoe cotton very well indeed. They work a little slowly but do thc work well, and make expert cot ton piel "rs. My experience with them is that they stand thc climate perfectly well, remain remarkably healthy and keep their homes and themselves strikingly cleanly. They are constant workers ana expect but titree holidays in the year-Christine? New Year's Day and Good Friday. I haye both Protestants and Catholics on my farms, the latter being of Polish descent. They have for the most part come from Posen, a pro vince of Prussia. I have at present about twenty of these immigrants tn my employ, and I suppose there arc as many more working on tho farms of my neighbors. They havo re mained moro contented and I have had less trouble with them than any class of laborers I have ever bad to deal with. They all read and write German, and thc younger ones acquire English with facility. I look upon these immigrants as the very class of people wo want here hi South Carolina to supple ment our negro labor. I do not think they will supplant tho negroes, but there is an actual scarcity of labor, and thor? is ampio room for tbousauds of them. They aro thrifty and economical, uud buve u tendon cy to" strike out for themselves as soon as uiey have accumulated a little property. In this way wo secure the services ot first class laborers for several years who, by their own exertions, elevate themselves to good and prosperous citizens. Where persons propose to bring these immigrants from Gcrmuny they ure required to give notice by the 24th of Juno of their intention to leave, otherwise their landlords can bold them. *' BL?CK-DRAUQ?-? ?
