COLUMBIA.^. Wednesday Morning, Jone 6, 1866. Hoi?' for thu South? The prospect of a general war in Europe has already begun to develop itself in, a, vast emigration of the peo? ple to this country. At the close of our civil war, thero was an impetus in thia direction, bnt the impending general war on tho other side of the M lau tic seems to have accelerated the migration Westward. The ar? rivals of emigrants from the different couutries in Europe, for thc past five months, have been greater this year than for tho same space of time for mauy years past. By late news from Europe, (private letters as well as pub? lished statements in tho newspapers,) we. learn that large numbers of emi? grants are awaiting, at the ports of Europe, transportation to America. The Nashville Union and American properly inquires what is to be thc result of all this extensive immigra tiou? It is the duty of the philoso? phic statesman to cast the result and tell us whether it is good or evil for ns, and, according to that judgment, advise the proper steps to be taken to encourage or check this rapid growth of a foreign population. We do not propose to discuss the matter now. The South now needs labor, and we extend to all tho new comers the right hand of welcome and fellow? ship. Wo have fertile lauds to culti? vate; we have Ute great staple which has supported so many of them at home iu its manufacture. We will give them ample opportunities to make a better livelihood, either iu the production or manufacture of this staple, thau they ever had at home; and our slave system of labor having been done away with, the field for the white artizan aud me? chanic is thrown open to all. The Union and American, inclosing its article, says: ' ' The South ia as large as the North, and is ready, at all times, to compare products and resources with any equal extent of the habitable globe. We have been misrepresented, and our population has been dwarfed by the misapprehensions of the world concerning our domestic insti? tutions, and the unjust prejudices created thereby. But that day has gone by, and there is no ground for their continuance. The Southern people are anxious for a sober, in? dustrious white population to occupy their lands, and to have them reap the fruits, rich, desirable and abun? dant, which nature and art are ever willing to bestow. They want all classes of labor and enterprise-and tho capital necessary to support and sustain it and make it profitable. These States offer advantages for re? munerative employment, unsurpassed by any other "portion of the world and their people are lil?eral, just and true. Let the honest and virtuous immigrant come among us from any part of the world, and he will never have any goo/ cause to regret it." The above paragraph is the ex? pression of our own opinions in re? lation to the question. We want tho class of labor referred to, to develop the rich resources of the South, and, if wc eau obtain it, there is a bright future yet for thc now suffering States of the South. -?-?*<? Mnnufatturci. Among the many inducements which oiler themselves to the South? ern people to engage in tl ie manufac? ture of their leading staple, (and we have already noticed a number of them,) thero is still another to which we would diroct attention, and that is the proposed tax of five cents per pound on cotton. The iniquity of this proposition will be more fully understood when we reflect that it is an export tax. The South may ship her cotton to New England spindles and looma without paying the tax, Ilms not only depriving her people of importing return cargoes for their cotton, but actually giving the Lowell factory kings the advantage of five cents per pound over the foreign buyer aud manufacturer. Tho radicals, in their wild career ol' legislation, are over reaching themselves. Five cents a pound will go far to defray the expenses of manu? facturing the raw material on the spot where it is grown, and, of course, tliis additional incentive to our people to engage in this new branch of in? dustrial pursuits is so patent and self-evident, that it does not require much elucidation. "Let 'er rip," as a Mobile paper said the other day; the South, in the end, will be tho gainer from all such foolish legisla? tion us that now being burned upby the radicals Congress From th? South. Now and then the people of tue North can learn the truth about mat? ters itt the Southern States, .through correspondente of tlieir own journals. Under tho caption of "Affairs at tho South," a correspondent of tho New York Times records the following pleasing and instructive iuo??eii?>>. "I was present, Yesterday, at a moat interesting and impressive cere? mony, which deserves Bpeeial notice, as illustrative of the feeling of the white for the black race, and of the sincere desire of the former to pro? mote, as far as possible, the temporal and spiritual welfare of the hitherto dependent bondsmen. " The occasion ?wa? the ordination, by the Presbytery, of three colored men as Presbyterian ministers, to take pastoral charge of exclusively colored congregations, who had peti? tioned for separate organization nu? der their own minister and govern? ment. "The cordial and prompt manner in which their request wa? granted ; the earnest interest manifested by the clergymen and laymen, on whom the executive duty devolved; the intelli? gence and theological knowledge of the candidates for ordination, as dis? played in their discourses, delivered asa test of their qualifications; thc order and becoming demeanor of the large assemblage of colored people who came to witness the ceremony, and the charges of the Presbyterian clargymen appointed to address the new pastors of their flock, were all very gratifying, and afforded cheer? ing promise of thu future relation? of the two races, if left to them? selves. "One of the candidates for orders was a negrc mau named Robert, born a slave in the family of Hon. Howell Cobb, ?md although nominally un in voluntary servant, in fact as free all his Ufe aa he is now, having earlj learned the trade of a wheelright am carriage-maker, and, for many years, one of the best and most skillful ot his trade in this city, protected and encouraged by his late muster on ul occasions. Among the most interest ing features of the proceeding, wa? the presence of Gov. Cobb, who after the ceremony, was the first t< take Robert by the hand and con grat?late him on his elevation, nm the evident gratification which tin new minister felt and expressed at th? presence and good will of his forme owner. The two other colorod minis ters were men of like standing am character, ami have, for some years been preachers or exhortera, but nu qualified to administer the coin uiunion, solemnize matrimony, o perform the other functions of tu ordained clergyman. Numbers o gentlemen of position and influeuc were present, and one of the Presley tory, au eminent lawyer, advanced i life, and in very feeble health, tr? veled over a hundred miles in bi buggy, to take part in the ordination "These are the true signs of th times. These are the real iml?e?i tiens of the feelings of the t^o race for each other. .No civil rights bi required this action; no political at vantage could have tieen derive from it; no compulsory process cuni have enforced it; no Freedmen's Br reau had anything to do with it: an there cannot Ito a more positiv proof of the confidence of the ct lured people in the justice and goo will of the whites, and of the read ness of tho latter to help and oucou ugo the colored people to iiapro\ their condition." This writer of course speaks tl truth, but it is not of course that 1 will bc believed by any of the ulti radiouls. Wore the great hotly of tl patriotic and thinking men of tl j North to pay thc Southern States j visit, they would soon discover th they were unjustly taxed to keep i tin institution, which even the cia it was intended t< provide for ai protect aro heartily tired of.

THo FrcMimfK'i Bureau. We have-not noticed tho new Freed? men's Bureau bill just passed iu Congress. It extends tho supremacy of this Bureau for tlirec years. Tho bill, as passed, protects freedmen sud directs the appointment of two Assistant Commissioners, in addition tc those now authorized, who shall have chai'go of certain districts. Tho I whole new bill is a humbug, lt pro? vides: I "That no person shall lie deemed destitute or descrviug of assistance who has capacity and opportunity of work. For the purpose of making the Bureau self-sustaining, tho Pre? sident is directed to reserve from sale j or settlement, under the homes tooti I aud pre-emption laws, and assign to j freedmen and refugees not exceeding a million of acres of laud in Florida, J Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama and I Arkansas, to be allotted in parcels of ! forty acres each, at a certain rental. Tho rental will go towards the sup I port of the Bureau. When thu price of each allotment of lund is paid to J tho Government, a fee simple title will be given to the owner." Tho National InleUiyeneer, of the '< 29th nit., says: "The haste with which they went Ito work extending it-s duration for titree yours hinger indicates the ap? prehensions entertained that it may be suddenly abolish et 1 altogether. Every imaginable agency bas been 'employed to bolster np tho institu? tion, to hi<h' it -i hideousness anti to excuse its lamentable deficiencies: but all the efforts ol its advocates are insufficient to suppress its noi? some odor. lt has begun to stink in the nostrils of the people ot tin North as well as of the South, it has come to be regarded with suspi ciou even by tho negroes themselves. lt is believed by the masses of the loyal States to be nothing moro nor less than au engine of oppression lo the freedmen; a source of discord between thu races in the South, and useful only on n refuge for hundreds of unscrupulous treasury pap sin k ers, who eau timi no other means of living upon the Government." -? ? - Aflillirul Semines.

Tho following pungent articlo is from the Richmond Timen: The English people und politicians have a wonderful disposition to con? cern themselves with tho business of other people .lust now they arc discussing with a degree of interest and profundity the question of our national debt in n manner that is truly refreshing, ir is very gratify? ing to find that we have friends abroad who take so much solicitude upon themselves touching our wel I fare, and especially our national debt. One would think that their own debt furnished them enough food for reflection, but it seems in snfllcient for their intellectual occu? pation and enjoyment. Tho magni? tude of our debt, and the rapidity with which it was created, seems to have impressed them with the most overwhelming admiration. And yot so high is tho opinion which they pit-tend to have of our solvency, that Mr. Gladstone, in a recent speech, characterized our ?lebt as a mere "flea bite." Heaven protect us from such "Ilea bib s." The bites of onad dogs and moccasin snakes would hardly give ns greater inconvenience, and would, perhaps, lie easier to cure than to pay oft' our debt. lt is really amusing to see what spams our nat ional debt seems to be giving thc English. Here is what Mr. (Hadstono says about it, and he is not Hie only on?; who has expressed his admiration : "Thedt-btof the United States is in itself something wonderful-won? derful as tin- creation <>f four years, strictly ?>f 'our years, and no moro, ami yet amounting to nearly three thousand millions ol' dollars, or six hundred millions pounds, aud the rate of growth of tho debt in the lad viii exceeded, I thiuk, two hundred millions pounds. That is a wonderful debt, ami, its charge is enormous, lt is not possible, in the pr?sent state ol' the financial ar? rangements of that country, to as? certain willi precision, but 1 believe I ?nu liol wrong in saying that the charge of that debt is considerably heavier than ours, though Hie capital is less." We thoroughly agree with these Englishmen; our debt is indeed "wonderful," so wonderful that there are many people in the Union (uol in the South, for the South is not in the Union,) who seem to be proud ol thi., debt. What reflections thej make tho basis of this exhibition ol pride, we confess ourselves utterly unable to discover or explain; unless they think that our greatness is to bi measured l>y the amount of our in dchtcditess. They see* in to th Ulli flint because our debt presses witl greater weight than that of England, we ought to glorify ourselves.

Mr. Davis is io Ix? tried for the alleged offence of treason against tho United States, and will, of ?purse, bc convicted, as per1 order; even that once fair dealing sheet, the National Intelligencer, speaking of him as "in tho iron gra^p of the law, before whoso awful tribunal ho is about to bo arraigned, with a judge and jury of a character to satisfy thc most unmer? ciful of his enemies, and from which, to speak in the mildest terms, he can by no possibility escape full retribu? tion." His murder, therefore, being already predetermined, it is not pro? posed to discuss the matter from an American stand-point, but present it as it will strike the European eye, and stand hereafter, in ita bloody truth, on the page of universal his? tory. "Treason against the United States, " says the Federal Constitu? tion, "shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving Hiern aid and comfort;" but, under this showing, it will be hard work to persuade Europe that tho death of Mr. Davis is other than a judicial assassination. "The United States" has, in the distinctive language of diplomacy and public law, a peculiar meauiug, and this meaning, rest assured, will never be altered by Christendom to suit the purposes of a victorious section in a civil war. Prior to the 20th dav of December, 1860, "the United States" was, in the eye of Europe, the name of a confederation of thirty-two North American States. By the 12th of August, 1861, when Missouri wheeled into line, the United States of North America had, so far as foreign nations were concerned, ceased te exist. On the one side, they behehl twelve States, calling themselves Confederate, with an army, a navy, a civil establishment, a currency, am a policy of their own. On the other twenty-one States, calling themselves United, with a like distinctive army navy, civil establishment, currency and policy. But nowhere the oh: "United States," as that phrase wa understood in all Federal laws treaties, articles of confederation, ot Constitution, from 1778 to 18G1 That United States was disrupted into the united States of the Nortl and the united States of the South and s<> remained for years. Thei came victory to the twenty-one State: and subjugation to the twelve. It ii not for the vanquished to give law t< their vanquishers, and the victor had everything their own way. I was loudly proclaimed that the twen ty-one Northern united States were and had been, the whole (thirty-three United States, and that those win had fought against them (the tweuty one) had in reality fought agaius the whole thirty-three, themselve included. What could the twelv Southern united States of the ol Federal United States do? Sim pl; nothing. They had been beaten i: arms, and wore impotent in speech Their leader was taken, was tried he who had led twelve States agaius twenty-one for waging war tm thirtj three States, was convicted, and wu hanged for that impossible offence. Now, fanciful as it may seem, sue will be the verdict of all Christendoi on the effort of twenty-one Norther States to hold themselves out as i peace er war, in trial and in judgmen the United States of America. Thc are not the United States of ot fathers. They never have been. Thc never will bc. They ure but a pal of the whole, and if, in the name ( the whole, they put Jefferson Dav to death, thc villainy of falsehou and the stain of blood guiltiness wi cleave to them and their children fo ever. We care nothing for names, and the Northern States during tho Wi saw fit t?i call themselves by the nan of the United States, have nothing 1 urge against that nomenclature, sai that it should not be juggled int meaning what thc same termin?lo^ meant before, or has come to men since, that, struggle.

Not long ago the Albanians turned an Episcopal Church into a theatre. Now it is advertised that a Universa? list Church is to be employed hence? forth as a vinegar manufactory. We expect soon to hear that some Calvi? nistic Tabernacle has been turned into a distillery of rose water! So goes the world. The latest cockneyism in language is tho use of the phrase "different to" instead of different from. Think, says Quilp, of saying, "This thing differs tu that!" Yet some Americans arc adopting this ridiculous boobyism, both in writing a vocal speech, as if it were a rational improvement instead of the most silly of affectations. Tho Wesleyan Methodists, some time ago, built a hall in Bishopsgate street, London, a freehold, which cost them ?85,000. They have been recently offered ?157,000 for the pro? perty. In the course of evidence given reecnt.lv before the Deputy ?eeorder of London, it was stated that land near St. Paul's Church-yard was worth ?1,000,000 per acre.
