Ornerai Torhmaa'i Immigration
Scheme.
Gen. Toonman, who raised a brigade
of troops in Louisiana for tho Confed?ralo
Army, has, since the restoration of peace,
devoted himseir to the task of maturing a
plan by which European emigrants can
speedily to brought to thc South. Gen. T.
is perhaps tho most proper foreigner iu
the South to work for our interests abroad.
Ho has a European reputation, having held
the responsible position of Vice-President
.of the Polish Council, in Paris, (France,)
an office which brought him into contact
with many of the most distinguished
statesmen of Europe. Ile has resided for
many years in the South, and now devotes
his great talents to the development of our
dormant resources.
The following letter is taken from tho
Richmond Whig, of tho 16th November.
His plan of operation therein sketched,
has since received the fullest attention
from two land companies, one forming in
.this State, thc other under tho Presidency
of Gen. G. W. Carter, of Texas. Both
companies we hear, arc now negotiating
with Gen. T. with a view to secure his
valuable services.
.Ve would ask our readers to give ?. care?
ful consideration to the subjoined letter.,
and have authority for stating that Gen. T.
will be glad to communicate with parties
who ftesire to form land companies. His
post offi ;c address, is Richmond, Va.
IMMIGRATION.-With singular unanimity,
.che press of Virginia are advocating the
necessity of organization, for the purpose
of introducing labor into the State. Thc
difficulties which environ the subject are
well understood to be, the ignorance of
the demand and the competition of tho
North-west. This ignorance is no small
matter. It is not only necessary to teach,
but to unteach-the trouble being not so
much that people have never heard, but
that they have heard too much that ?3
false. And the competition with so much
capital, such combinations and legislative
grants, is no contemptible adversary, that
is to bo met only by newspaper articles
and declarations. Organization with
.money is wanting. All the talk that can
flow from thc most eloquent lips, Will never
.convince against the material arguments
that an organized body of agents urgo
upon needy emigrants, accompanied with
the clink of precious metals. Plead to an
unprejudiced mind of balmy airs and fer?
tile soils-of snnnj- alones and spontane?
ous fruits; whisper of bright flowers and
glorious increase; of lands where
"the sweet South
Breathes on a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odor;"
and yon have little chance with a bustling
fellow who furnishes broad acres of grain,
all for nothing, transportation free, the
rights and privileges; of the sovereign,
"carry you free, sir, and give you a bottle
of wine to boot, sir; 109 acres of best land
in tho world, sir, all for nothing; schools,
churches, railroad running through the
land, sir> send you to Congress next year,
*ir; walk this wav, sir; carry your bundle,
sir." Ac. Ac. What chance do we stand
with land at a price per acre, and nobody
to represent us? If you add that thc work
of years and the universal effort of thc
world have been directed to misrepresent
ns. you may form some faint idea of the
.difficulties wo have to combat.
We have dealt in generalities too long.
The very nature of tho obstacles teaches
us the means of overcoming them. Know?
ing how they ire formed, we are instructed
in thc way of removing them.
Dispute about details as we will, thc
plain objects are before us: To disabuse
the public mind of its error in regard to
our country lay before them its natural
advantages, and* contribute means tobring
i ninigratiori :o us.
When we consider thc impoverished
state of the country-tho want of means
to work what we have-the struggle
against want and all the privations that
ari- upon us, wo can well see the very
serious nature of thc task before us and
siam! aghast at a labor that seems Hercu?
lean. Yet tile very cause of our want gives
us the means of supplying it. Sell or
lease idle land-a plan which, without
sacrifice, will givo us thc labor required,
and at thc same lime will use our idle land
in lieu of ready money-will readily com?
mend itself to our farmers, and we pro?
pose to lay before them the outlines of
such a one, which has been carefully
elaborated and criticised, and which is
eminently practical, read tho letter below
.Vom General Tochmau.
Thc figures lie gives are ti) be under
stoo 1 as purely hypothetical -not intended
to govern simply t-- elucidate:
RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 13, isci.">.
To the Editor of the Whig.
Sin: The suggestion of thirty years' cre?
dit to tho European emigrants, which was
published in your issue of the :24th ultimo,
with thc letter 1 addressed on the subject
of Europeau immigration, to Mr. J. D. B.
DcBow, is c .'isidor.id by many persons as
too long a tenn. 1 m ado this suggestion
simply to e . uragc the emigrants to wend
their way S nth. But I can state positively
that not oiiii out of a hundred emigrants
would avail himself of this privilege, and
continue to pay H per cent, during thirty
years; though, should tho offer of such a
tenn of payment bo made to them, it might
induce many to come South who. are able
and would prefer to pay for their "land im?
mediately, or iu a year or two after settling
here-and yet are not determined to cross
the Atlantic.
However this suggestion might have opo
rated, 1 give it up when it is objectionable,
and request you, respectfully, tu allow mo
to p?esent, through your columns, to tho
land-holders, another suggestion:
. Supposing that twenty-five land-holders
own m the aggregate* 1,000,000 acres of
land, and that 5 of them, for 300,000 acres,
demand tl per acre -$300,000; 5 of t hem,
for 300,000 acres, demand $2 per acre -
$400,000; 5 of them, for 200,000. acres, de?
mand $3 per acre-$600,000; 5 of them, for
150,000 acres, demand tiper acre-$600,000;
3 of them, for 100,000 acres, demand $5 per
acre-$500,000; 2 of them, for 50.000 acres,
demand $G per acre-$300,000. Total, 25
owners; 1,000.000 acres, $31; total,
$2,760,000.
Leaving the sale of this 1.000,000 acres
of land to the chances of application of the
purchasers to tho home agents and the
owners themselves, many years will elapse
before all this land can be sold-eveu at
great deal lower prices, unless some specu?
lators purchase it to re-sell the same in
small lots or parcels, at higher prices, to
the emigrants.
Now, Bhould these twenty-five land-hold?
ers form themselves into a land company,
bring their land into its common stock,
become themselves stock or shareholders
thereof, and covenant with tho European
Agency, (which I propose to undertake and
establish, ) to sell it to thc emigrants at thc
rates and np-m conditions which rvould be
acceptable to them -every acre of their
land could and would be sold in the course
of ono year or sooner.
I proceed now to suggest thc rates and
conditions, which I know, from my inter?
course with the Europeans, would be fully
acceptable to them:
1st. Let the land company covenant with
the European Agency to seil its land to the
emigrants in lots or parcels from 50 to 150
and 200acres, at tho following rates:
300,000 acres at $1.23 per acrs.$375,000
200,000 2.50 . 500,000
200,000 " 3.50 _ 700,000
150,000 " 4.50 .. . 675,000
100,000 -? 5.60 " . 550.000
50,000 C.50 .. . 325,000
1,000,0011 23.50 *3,125,000
The original demand of the land?
holders being. 2,700,OCO?
Tho company would realize above it
$425,000, which would be moro than is re?
quired to pay homo agencies, salaries of
other officers", surveyors, Ac.
2d. Let the company covenant, further,
that this land will bo sold to tho emigrants
on ten years'credit, and upon tito follow?
ing conditions:

Tile foregoing table of computation
shows, exclusively, that the land-holders,
j associator] in land companies, in each
State, would obtain their own prices for
j the land in ton years, with interest ap
I portioned to the payment of capital, with?
out incurring any expenses-as these
! would bc paid or refunded to them by the
? emigrants), with interest-should they
j adopt the suggested plan of operation,
j Moreover, many other advantages would
result from such organizations:
I 1st. The laboring emigrants, for hire,
could bo brought in requisite numbers
? throng}) the medium of the same European
agency.
I 2d. The companies could reserve lots
I or farms ol various sizes, in the midst of
the first settlers, here and there; such
reserved farms put in tho market when
around them settlements shall be estab
I fished, would command many times higher
j prices than the lots or farms sold to tho
I first emigrants.
3d. Nu Northern capitalist, or at least
very few and in small sums, would now
I advance a loan on the waste lands in the
i Southern States; whilst the land share? of
! so organized companies would be both
mortgageable and saleable -they would bo
sought fur investments by the captahsts
? themselves, as by their character and
' nature they would constitute the safest
: investment -their base being land in the
. market.
4th. Should tho companies choose to
j have their stores of agricultural implc
; ments, sseds, and other farming articles,
j and offer to sell them to the emigrants on
reasonable credit-this would greatly en?
courage emigration South, and the com?
panies would reap the profits of merchants
. m addition to those derived from tho dale
1 of land.
I 5th. This plan would require very small
J capital in money to put it into operation,
I and it could be "easily obtained, either by
j a loan or by tho salo of a portion of the
stock or laiid shares-when tho land com?
panies obtain charters and organize.
Gth. Th? organization of such land com?
panies iu every Southern State, and their
communion with the European agency by
a covenant as suggested above, would
bring South in tho first year of operation,
at least 100,000 emigrants and their number
would increase every year, which, besides
benefiting the land-holders materially,
would secure their personal safety against
the apprehended insurrections of the ne?
groes; and, in a short time, would enable
the Southern States to resume that posi?
tion in the national council of the United
States, to which th**y are constitutionally
entitled.
7th. Should thc National Express and
Transportation Company make requisite
arrangement, and undertake to rece -h
? from the European agencies and bring
here these emigrants from Europe, and on
their landing in the Southern ports, trans?
port them to their now homes, it woidd
open to itself a source of revenue worth
at least three millions of dollars yearly.
To accomplish all this, and to reap so
manifest advantages, only determined
action of men commanding confidence and
respect of Southern land-holders, is re?
quisito. Merely writing and talkir? on
the subject will achieve nothing. Let
them come out from their retirements,
ami proceed in organizing companies.
The other wheels of th J machine will be
easily found.
I am, gentlemen, verv respectfullv, your
obedient servant, " C. TUCUMAN.

WASHINGTON,December ll.-The details
of thc proceedings of the Alabama Conven- '
tion, in reference to tho amendment (pies- :
tion, show that it was passed, as in South
Carolina, with a proviso thai tho second
clause of thc AC1 of Congress should not
be so construed as to confer upon that
body the future government and regulation :
of the freedmen. Mississippi stands ready
to endorse the amendment m like manner,
and will no doubt do so this week, if she ;
has not already,
j "Governor elect Humphreys," aa the '
I President addresses him, is said to have 1
t signed the bill allowing negroes to testify
in all cases except where the parties inte
rested are all whites.
Thc advice to the newly elected Georgia
delegation to remain where they are fwr
he present, is believed to bo the real posi
tion of the President witii reference to the ,
representatives of the more openly rebel
lions States. He would have them remain
uutil their cases were decided by tho two
Houses, each House for itself; and by a i
f vir Constitutional decision of the question, ;
he (the President) is willing to abide.
"Will" Graham is here as Senator from !
North Carolina, and declares that if bc is ]
not admitted, thc State will send no other
representatives to either House. This is I
cool, certainly, as Graham has no more
chances of admission, until pardoned,
than Cobb wouid have from Georgia. If a :
"test" question were to be made in Gra?
ham's case, then was North Carolina most .
unfortunate in the selection of her candi?
dates.
