Nebraska makes up the requisite number of States, without counting New York, and lt ls understood the administration, proposes to wait ror the ratification by Nebraska, in order to avoid any controversy as to thc right or a State to withdraw ?ts ratification at anv time be? fore the final adoption, this question being pre? sented in i he case of Kew York. -The'Cuban steamer Anna, which hasten, countered so many obstacles since her departure from New York, arrived at her destination-Nue vitas-on thc lotit ult.

The recoili meeting in London to prov for tlie emigration of English artisans in cates very significantly tho decadence Great Britain. Her workmen have gi) her prosperity. Their toils in the mine, tlie forge, ut thc loom, have reared tlie f? ric of her greatness. And now, amid I abundance they have created, and uotwi standing all their productive skill and th eager clamors for work, they arc reduced a state of pitiable suffering aud destituti According to thc computation of the Lt Mayor of London, the number of skilled borers who cannot find employment is n between 70,000 and 80,000, and England 1 no alternativo save to remove them or starve them. But where shall these men with their fa ?lies be sent? The delegates from the cc nial societies are making application them. They assure thc government that "is of thc highest importance to the mot] "country and thc colonies to encourage ci "gration to these, and for this purpose .make much more largely available th "hitherto thc almost unbounded resource; "the British Empire." But there is one pr ciplo that these petitioners seem to forg It is this-that skilled labor is out of its c ment in new countries. The artisuu wb< capital, to a great extent, consists in refir taste and delicate skill, is not thc qualiti pioneer of civilization. To succeed on I rude Canadian frontiers, in thc untrodd wilds of Australia, or among the motley pt ulations of England's tropical dependenci thc English artisan would need first of all revolutionize thc industrial aptitudes ol life-time. Only in cultivated states of so ety and in populations already grouped industrial and commercial affiliations, c he find such employment as he is fitted f England has produced one Robinson Cruse she would faii?f she endeavored to produ seventy thousand. There is, of course, a place for some, this number in tlie ports and towns that sk thc shores and river margins of the colonii But those workmen, with their families, coi puted by Sir Jamos Lawrence at hundrc of thousands, would soon overstock t meagre colonial market. They need a fit of wider scope and of different capabilities such a field as we of the South can give. Hitherto the large proportion of Engli immigrants to America belonged to the n ricultural class. Hence it was to this chi that Professor Fawcett confined his observ tions in the elaborate and masterly lectu on emigration delivered at the University Cambridge in 18G4. And the colonial dep ties to tlie gathering at London seem have confounded the mechanic, who nm now emigrate, with the peasant who Ii emigrated heretofore. They seem to imagii that tlie former can be transformed into tl latter by a more change of place-by a tran f"- bm fhn Ts.-t--?- ?~ -T.- -.-~ plantation in Jamaica or a trackless fore in Canada. Better that they should con among a people who speak their Jangling who inherit their traditions, who admire an use the productions of their industry, an who dwell in the temperate zone ! Most of the English immigrants have se tied at the North. They are found in coi sidcrable numbers in the States of New Yorl Pennsylvai Illinois, Ohio, "Wisconsin an Michigan-Hie relative proportion being i tiie order named. Tlie minority are fount in lessening numbers, in Florida, Arkansai Oregou. North Carolina, South Carolina an Mississippi. Jfor forty years Hie abulitio agitation has turned this rich tide away froi our borders. Especially has this ism bee maintained among the workingmen of Lal cas'.iire, a district which outnumbers two t one thc whole population of thc State c. Indiana; which has again and again suflere i thc most terrible reverses, and which coul have contributed during all that period tl) most important additions to our mechanics industry. Now that difficulty is removed Lancashire can come among us, and w have no fear that when Lancashire doe come, it will any longer look upon' Hie Souti through Mr. Bright's spectacles. We respectfully call the attention of ou immigration societies to the coudiiiou o things iii England. Tho Britisli emigratioi societies appeal for help to tlie government the government "cannot see its way clear' to make the necessary appropriation. Ant we, on our part, can do but little at first But we have not much to do iu order to ge what we want from England. Let a pas sage, however shallow, be opened for IhL tide to our Southern fields, and it will cut ; way for itself. One successful colony o skilled English labor will stir every indus trial community iu Great Britain. And a: the Irish do, thc English will help theil friends to come to a country whore tin wages are four or five times greater than art given at home. What our naturalized citi? zens send over thc water, by private baud, is of course uukuown. What they rcmittet through banks ami large mercantile houses, in thc ten years embraced ?ti the las; census, was ten millions of pounds sterling. Thus does immigration supply mid augment im? migration. Let public spirited capitalists and societies avail themselves of the occasion which now presents itself. Yonder in Lancashire are the very men wc need-men of world-re? nowned skill ami industry-dexterous and delicate manipulators of thc cotton we pro? duce-sinewy and practical explorers of snell mineral wealth as our soil hus in its keep? ing. They ure .starving. They are eager to emigrate. They can be brought lo our shores as cheaply ?is tlie German or Swede. They understand our speech and can at Once be set to work. They are prepared to intro? duce such diversified industries among us as will benefit every class. Lei us have some of tuesu accomplished artisans in Hie Stale of South Carolina. THE amendments lo thc Civil Kights bili, reported by Ute Judiciary Committee, will be found in orr Columbia letter printed to-day. Tlie committee seem to have do di with the subject iu a sensible and temperate manner. Thc Volee of the State. The country papera doubtless reflect, with tolerable fidelity, the sentiments and opin? ions of theirreadcrs ; and that their policy for the full elections may be made knowu to Hie whole people, we shall print, ns occasion may serve, the more pregnant and striking declarations found in their editorial columns. This will, it is hoped, tend to make the people more homogeneous in thought and united in action ; and we desire especially to direct attention to the gratifying fact that the one common note of the articles repro? duced in our columns this morniug is the expression of a determination to give the State, at all hazards, a purer and better government. This, in truth, is the harmoni? ous refrain of Hie mighty hymn now swelling in the hearts of the people of the State. WE print this morning a circular letter from the president of the State Institute, in? viting the various agricultural societies in the State to send delegates to the conven? tion, which meets In this city in Muy uext. Y?"c beg to request that the secretaries of the societies will forward to tins office, for pub? lication, the namc3 of thc delegates who may be appointed. SENATOR and Land Commissioner Leslie is in bad odor for the moment, and Iiis labors in behalf of the Sinking Fund bill arc not believed to bc wholly disinterested. Sena tur Nash declared that Leslie " would rather die and go where the devil drove HIP hogs, than have the bili amended," and, ol course, he would not take so huge a risk foi nothing. TUE Sinking Fund commissioners are ex? pected to be Governor Scott, Attorney-Gen? eral Chamberlain, Comptroller-General Nea gie, DcLarge, and Senator Rainer. This last is a quiet, sensible colored man. The rest have been tried iu the balance and found wanting. THE debate on the Sinking Fund bill, in the Senate en Tuesday, is lively reading. Wei may the carpet-bag fraternity have been fill? ed with terror and alarm. "Cun i nt Literature. EVERY SATURDAY : An Eclectic Weekly: Five dollars per annum In advance. Fields, Os good Sc, Co. : Boston. As this is the season in which people who have any literary leaning whatever are making provision for their supply of intellectual pabu lum tor the year, lt may be allowable to call th? attention ol' such to a hebdomadal which ha! many claims upon their patronage. We know of no American Journal which promises mort to its readers titan the enlarged and greatl) Improved weekly Issue ol' the Boston publish crs, Fields, Osgood & Co., which comes to ut under the name of Every Saturday. It is wholly an eclectic, and caters for us with an epicurean nicety of taste and selectior from thc rich and almost bewildering abun? dance of English literature. For the past yeal wc have been turning largely to the stately re? sults of British culture for thc wherewithal tc satisfy our mental cravings. We are not EC ultra-American as to be unwilling to contess that, after all, old mother Englund ls, lu mnnj respects, a very satisfactory personage. Wt feel a security when we arc dealing willi hci scholarship that our Oner sensibilities shall nol bc wounded, nor our fixed opinions contra vencd, nor our tastes offended, nor the per? vading aroma of classicism bc found wanting It may be objected that there Is an absence o; (latuuiivi'iLic nr mn ju ciel once. ? there is in our stubborn preference for Axmins? ter carpets, or Sheffield cutlery, or Lyons silks. As we have said, w* have been accustomed of lalo to entertain ourselves, not to speak ol the graver reviews, with such foreign periodi? cals as Frazer and Macmillan, and Thc Corn? hill and London Soddy, aud the Dublin Uni? versity Magazine, and The. Saturday Review, 'and we have been Hms able to institute a run? ning comparison between them and tliecleclic ism of Every Saturday: and wo can consci? entiously say, that we think it has been ol the most judicious and appreciative character. Not a trenchant piece of criticism has appear? ed in The ?ktturdmy Review, which has not been reproduced here for us-not a terse bit has dropped from thc pen of Matthew Arnold, which these pages have not given us; not a marvelous outflow of verse from thc whilom tabooed Swinburne, Unit lias not been ro? set for us; not a sonnet from Jean Injelow, that Every Saturday has not embalmed in in ils columns. One of its prominent and new features is thc introduction ot' prolusc Illustrations. To some minds this maj-, al first blush, be sugges? tive of frivolity, as the rage for illustration bas become so ripe as to degenerate inion positive vice. But if wo are to be furnished with such artiste wood engravings as Hie por? trait of Tennyson In one of the recent issues, by all means Ictus have ns many as wc can, They are absolute studies, and our Children must of necessity have their eyes educated il such models are pul before them. Compare the management of light and shadow in the picture of '-Thc Spanish Buy" with that of thc same of thc steel engravings or thc stipples ol many ol our magazines, which set on edge the teeth of any one who lays claim to the least iota of artistic taste. So earnest are we in desiring to see the best forms of culture Introduced among our South? ern youth, that perhaps we may appear toe urgent in our mode of pressing this admirable periodical upon the public. It so, our apology must bc thc conviction that the daily reading provided for the fireside must tell upon Hie In? tellectual status of the family. Every Saturday is a cheap publication, when we consider what It provides lor us. Five dol? lars in Hie difference of a bonnet for youl daughter, a pair of boots for young hopeful, will make Hie circle around tile library table happier, at least for one night every week dur? ing the year. Is it not worth while tu try thc experiment at all events and sec ? Tun Revolution (the woman's rights organ) says thal having buried the Pemocr.ilic party. Hie nation "is nowjvady lo follow the funeral cortege of its illus!nous successor (the Repub? lican parly) to its lust home." It declares that, ..willi thc adoption of thc Fifteenth amend meut the Republican party finishes its work,' should he quietly gathered to its fathers, and be decently buried beside the old Whigs ?uni Federalists of oilier days. It t hinks it "a great mistake for parlies to Unger superfluous upon the slage after the curtain drops " THAT was a profound philosopher who com? pared advertising to a growing crop. He said: "The tanner plants lils seed, mid while he is sleeping the cum is growing. So with adver? tising* While you ure sleeping or eating, your advertisement is being read by thou? sands who jji'ver saw you nor heard of your business, nor never would, had it not been fur your advertising."
