COLUMBIA. Sunday Morning, January 0.1868. Puck's promise to "put a girdle round about the earth in forty mi? nutes" has nearly been accomplished. The message from the Duke of Wel? lington and the Directors of the Boyal Polytechnic Institution to the President of the United States, was transmitted from London to Wash? ington in nine minutes and thirty seconds. The return message of the same length, however, occupied twenty-nine minutes, or three times as long, so that there are unforeseen obstacles to the rapid inter-communi? cation between the two countries. The length of the cable between Va? lentia, in Ireland, to Heart's Content, in Newfoundland, is 1,861 miles, and in the early experiments fifteen words per minute was reported to be the maximum rate. The Polytechnic message, consisting, of sixty words, should then take four minutes, but it .vas sent from London to Heart's Content in fonr minutes and thirty seconds. Making Sue allowance, then, for the delay in England and Ireland, the compliments to the Pre? sident were sent over at a high rate of speed. The cable is in ? fair way to supersede Oberon's fairy messen ger. Those touch-and-go farmers who think that, baca use Western land is cheap, it is cheaper for them to force a piece of land through for several years, putting but little care upon it, and getting ont it all that its virgin fertility will yield-andi then abandon it for another-rather than to exer? cise proper and careful husbandry upon the first, make B> great mistake. These people not only impoverish the land they leave behind them, making it worse than when they cleared it of woods; but they gain nothing by removal. The great ele? ment of . expense which, more than .any other, has to be considered in farming, manufacturing and indus? tries of all sorts, is transportation of necessities and products from and to market. Going further West is sim? ply paying more for everything want-; ed, except land, and getting less for everything produced. It is cheaper and better in every way to elaborate and increase the productive capacity of farm No. 1. < ? ? ? THE PRESIDENT'S NEW YEAB RE? CEPTION.-The President, atllo'clock, received all the foreign Ministers in Washington, as well as the attaches of their respective legations. They were in full court dress, and some of them wero accompanied by ladies of their household in elegant attire. There were also present the Cabinet Ministers, Chief Justice and Asso? ciate Judges; also a large number of members of Congress, accompanied by ladies. In addition to the above named visitors, wore thp chiefs of tho several bureaus and other pro? minent official* in the civil service. Tho scene was very animated, every? body seemed happy, and the con? gratulations of the season were un? reservedly interchanged between tho President and his guests. The Pre? sident's daughters occupied a posi? tion in the reeeption room, and also received their friends. Marshal Good? ing and Deputy Marshal Philips per? formed tho ceremonies of formal introductions. At 11.30 o'clock, of? ficers of the Navy and tho Marino <3orp.s, followed by those of tho Army, entered and paid their respects to thc President. They were nil in full dress uniform. The President, ac? cording to previous arrangement, re? ceived the Associated Soldiers of tho war of 1812, nud members of the Old? est Inhabitants' Association, of the District of Columbia. Tho doors were thrown open to the public gene? rally at 12 o'clock m. After the suc? cessive introductions and congratula? tions, they filed past tho President into tho East Room, where many of tho guests bad gathered. The music of the Marine Band, meantime, added to the animation of the scene. The reception continued undi 2 o'clock p. m. ----*-??-* It turns out that the purchase of Alaska has brought slavery again into the nation. A letter to the Cin? cinnati Gazelle states that it is so much of a domestio institution among tho Indians of that delightful coun? try, that the wealth of families is esti? mated by the number of their slaves, and tho portion of a bride is stated by tho head. j**?S*a Tho "guards" of the steamboat Henry Ames gave way at Nev. Or? leans recently, whilo the vessel was being unloaded. Twenty men were drowned and crushed, and a large quantity of cotton precipitated iuto tho river. European Immigration. Tho following interesting commu? nication from Ooo. Wagener, Com? missioner of Immigration, to Gov. Orr, "will bo read witli interest: 8. O. BtJlVEAU OF IMMIGRATION, I CiiAiUiKSTON, January 1, 1868. . 7b his Excellency James L. Orr, Go? vernor of Souin'Carolina. Sra: Conformably to tho Act of the General Assembly, of 186b, nnd in obedience to the request of your Ex? cellency, I respectfully submit the following brief report of the opera? tions of this Bureau: On the 18th of February lost, I bad the honor to receive the uppoiut ment of Commissioner. I forth I with advertised in all the papers of I tho State for registration of lauds for [ sale, and for notice of inch labor aa should be wanted. At the same time I prepared a pamphlet for distribu? tion iu the countries of Europe- and of our Northern States and cities, containing a sketch of the history and resouiwj? o? Sottth 0*T"?!??;?, with other matters of useful infor? mation, and auch registries of lands and labor a? had been made, to which was appended a map of the State. Of this 5,000 copies hate been print? ed in English, 5,000 copies in Ger? man, 3,000 in Danish and 2,000 in Swedish. In April, your Excellency appoint? ed Mr. Ferler tho agent for Scandi? navia, and in May, Capt. Melohars for Germany and Maj. Byan for Ire? land. Messrs. Ferler and Meie hers, ofter having given bonds for tho faith? ful discharge of their duties, sailed for their, fields of operation in May; but Maj. Byan, bavins since removed to Texas, has resigned his office, and no snoceasor to him hos, as yet, been appointed. In June, I found it ne? cessary to publish a circular to the citizens of the State, urging their co? operation with the e flor ta of this Bu? reau. Xn August, I. had obtained so many -additional registries that 1 deemed it proper to publish another pamphlet, Supplement No. 1, in which, at the same time, I endeavor? ed to reply to some animadversions of iho European press. This hu also been published in English, Ger man and the Scandinavian languages. I have, on several occasions, beer strongly advised to publish a trans?a tion of the pamphlets in French, bul not being myself a sufficient m ?ste: of that language to perform this task I would ask the concurrence of you: Excellency and your permission t< employ a translator at a reasonable charge. There is no doubt that ou: success depends very much on a libe ral distribution of useful informatioi of our State and her resources, an? of gaining, in thia manner, the atten tiou of the emigrant. I have eu countered very bitter opposition ii my endeavors, both at home mn abroad, but I have also found nu me rous friends and well-wishers, evei in the North and in Europe, au? their advice has uniformly been t print in every language and Bcatte our pamphlets broadcast everywhere Buring the year, I have delivers several addresses in varions parts a our State, for the purpose of awaken iog a general interest in the measure of immigration, which, through tb kindness of the press and DeBow' Jieview, have been extensively eircu lated. In October, I published ai other circular, with special referenc to labor, contracts and the ad vane of the passage money for such ir du8trious immigrants as could, i that manner, be enabled to accer employment in our State. Froi Germany and Scandinavia, mun such could havo been obtained; but am sorry to say, that our people wei so embarrassed in ready moans, tin no result was obtained. Having ? ceived advices from ouragonts that might be possible to establish n lin of steamers to Charleston, if ai encouragement of reasonable succe could be obtained, I took the liberl to address letters to tho Charlaste Chamber of Commerce and Board Trade, of which your Excellent received copies at tho time, requei iug of them such information as the above all, could best furnish rogar ing the matter; but no reply h been received, excepting a note fro tho President of tho Board of Traci that ho would forward the mutt with a hearty good will. I n grieved at this, because our mi chants are a class of well-inform people, capable of making reliai reports, that would exercise a pow? ful inti uonce ia Europe. A liuo steamers would bo of tho great? benefit to us, uot only iu tho matl of trade, but iu giving us a share the better class of immigrants, w generally prefer to cross the ocean that manner. Besides, I am of o nion, that by induoing the railroi to combino a reduced rate of faro Memphis, and getting such a line steamers, the port of Charles! might become the entry for imi grants to Georgin, Alabama, Mis; sippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, etc. ? immense) value of this must obvious to all, without my goi into any further dotails of reasonii In accordance with the requi monts of tho law, I havo openei book for the registry of lands, t these now number 125 propriotc with 311,272 acres of lands, at ro of 50 cents to $15 por acre-gener? ranging from $3 to $8; in a few stances, exceeding even tho higl mentioned figure. Of those, I plantation?' have been sold through this agonoy to Northern parties, and ouo has been settled by the proprie? tors with a small colony of Germans, and called Germanville, on such jost and liberal terms, that it is certain to succeed and increase rapidly. Other j registered property is now being treated for by Northern parties, and I have tho assurance from Pennsyl? vania that a company of mechanics and other men of enterprise is how being formed, to purchase one of bar water-powers, and to develop it at once. I have also opened books for em? ployers, and another for employees. 101 persons have obtained work iu tho country, and our railroads have kind? ly, upon my request, forwarded thom at half fare, Another book, a gene? ral registry of immigrants, shows that 248 persons have arrived in ' this State, of whom this office has had cognizance. Many more have arriv? ed; but not having applied to me, have not been registered. Of the l??, thc greater pcitluu {lil) have found' employment in Charleston, one of them only having reported sick, and gone to the hospital. I have received and answered nearly 400 letters, and have distributed near? ly a 1,000 pamphlets in the Northern States ana cities. I had advertise? ments in the German and Irish pa? pers of New York, which have brought me a number of applications for spe? cial information, and for situations, which I was not always .able to fur? nish. In the absence of our agent for Ireland, I have accepted the kind aid of several gentlemen and ship? masters, to distribute in that country and in Scotland, several hundred pamphlets. But I deem it of impor? tance, that the office should now be filled, and would respectfully solicit your Excellency to make the ap? pointment at your earliest conveni? ence. It will be seen from the above, that our success is very limited; but from the comprehensive view of the matter, which, in my official posi? tion, I have been able to obtain, I have been strengthened in the opi? nion, that immigration is one groat j necessity, and that without an influx of an industrious and reliable work? ing population, our State can never recover her lost prosperity. And I think, I perceive a prospect of suc? cess, depending, however, on oar continued exertions, and the liberality of our people in their offers of lands. I am now preparing a s?beme for aiding the efforts of this Bureau, and at ths same time, giving an impetus to the industrial development? of our State, wbioh I will soon have the honor of submitting to your Excel? lency. Several planters have already made offers of donating to indus? trious settlers, portions of their lands; and if suoh liberality could become general, it would certainly exercise a decided und favorable influence. But our constant endeavor should be to indnce our people to associate every? where in the interest of immigration and industrial progress. A com? mencement has been made, but our distress is so general and our ener? gies seem to br* so benumbed, in con? sequence of the embarrassments of our labor system, and the insecurity of our institutions, that it would be unjust not to bide patiently for more favorable developments in the course of time. Yet, whoever among us has patriotism, should exercise it now, with his friends and neighbors, for the general good. The General Assembly, at the last session, added the appropriation of 810,000 to tho Executive Contingent Fund, for the expenses of tho Bureau of Immigration. Of this amount, Executive drafts have been made of 87,007.22, to cover the following pay? ments, viz: For salary of thc agent in Scandinavia, for the year, to April, 1808.81,500.00 For salary of the agent in Ger? many, for the year to Mav, 1868.J,500.0.) For salary of Commissioner f ? months, up to NovemL?..' 18. 1867.1,125.00 Contingencies, printing and advertising in Germany ... .500.00 Contingencies, printing and advertising in Scandinavia. .500.00 For advertising in this State and in tho North, and sundry other expenses.468.55 For postage, box rent and dis? tributing expeuse8. 51.29 For books, stationery and fuel ?58.60 For stereotype map, printing 5,000 pamphlets in English, and 10,000 maps of State, &c.732.00 For printing supplement No. 1 167.28 Balance Commissioner's con? tingent.424.50 87,007.22 Leaving undrawn of appro? priation for 1876. .82,992 78 Your Excellency will perceive that our expenses, including the pay of an agent for Ireland, have been en? tirely within the appropriation. It was the intention of tho law to have the three agencies of Ireland, Ger? many and Scandinavia filled, and the appropriation was estimated accord? ingly. Subsequent developments wonld seem to make it desirable to also establish an agency in France, if we could, in any manner, accomplish it, which would perhaps be possible by meaus of lost year's unexpended funda. . Several of out Southern sis? ter States have now established im? migration bureaus. Louisiana pays her commissioner a very liberal salary and provides for two clarks and five agents. But New Orleans has now steam communication With Europe, and immigrants for Missouri and the far West travel that route. Texas is increasing very fast by largo immigration from Germany, four ves? sels with nearly a thousand passen? gers! having, arri ved at Galveston thia season. This is owing to her German colonies established before the war. Tennessee provides only for agenta in tho Northern parts of the United States, and expects to gain her share of immigration in that manner. But her people are very much alive io the subject and are everywhere forming associations to facilitate immigration by private contributions. By reduc? ing tho salaries of oar other agents, wo might, perhaps, also have an agency in New York; but I um not convinced of any izreat advantage irom it. The better class of immi? grants to that great port prooeed im? mediately to their points of destina? tion, leaving those without means and without a settled purpose, and very often disinclined to agricultural pursuits, behind them. Such we could not give employment to. We are aa yet too contracted in varieties of pursuits, until our industrial occu? pations and general prosperity shall be once more better developed. There are uow a number of private agencies ready to fill all orders of {ilanters for laborers on special con? re?te. My efforts have been directed to an influence iu Europe which should give us a class of immigrants that will not only bring us their per? sonal powers of production, but the meena alao to make them available at once; and with them and after them will come enough of laborers to sup? ply all our demands without overbur? dening ua with numbera of useless idlers, whom we are unable to sup? port. And we are in a fair way of attaining these objects which, how? ever, would be very muoh facilitated by s. line of steamers, UH I Luvu men? tioned above. The oity of Charles? ton eau and must be made the port of arrival for the immigrants to the State, that I have named, and when we are once more nuder our own go? vernment, if it should be at all in? cl! ned to our speedy recuperation, it must be the aim of the Legislature to liberally assist in measures to that effect. I have the honor to be, your Excellency's obedient servant, JOHN A. WAGENER, Commissioner Immigration. A "JAP" J^BVUTKD BT A NKORO HE KNOCKS Hm DOWN.-The "Jape" have attracted considerable crowds of negroes daily about the Spotswood, where they are stopping. Yesterday morning, aa some of these copper skinned individuals were about to take a walk, a crowd, of course, fol? lowed them, making remarks upon their appearance, etc. One darky re? marked, in a voice above all the rest, "Yahl ha! dey ain't nothin' but nig? gers." Ono of them turned furiously upon him, and, with the exclamation, "Oo lie; wee nonigga," knocked him down with his stick, muoh to the amusement of the crowd, which seemed willing to tolerate from Mr. "Jap," that which, eomiug from a Virginian, would have excited their most violent ire. Poor Sambo! His "friends" would have him believe that he is the equal of the white man, and the being of all beings; and yet a civilized nation, nearly of his owu color, becomes vio? lently exasperated when called "nig? ger" by ono of an idle crowd. He will find out some of these days, per? haps, that tho people of tho South are the only ones who can tolerate or have an}' affection for him. \Richmond Dispatch. The advent of tho new year was celebrated with tho usual round of visiting by tho people of New York. Tho doors of nearly all the mansions were thrown hospitably open, and a string of visitors were going from house to house all through the day. Tho snow and rain made locomotiou disagreeable and difficult, but tho visiting continued. Tho street cars were greatly obstructed, and the East River ferries wero in some instances detained. Skating was eutirely out of tho question. Mayor Hoffman had a reception at the City Hall, and so did tho Sheriff elect. At the Tarions charitable institutions the poor inmates had tho usual collations spread, and numerous theatrical and social entertainments wound up the clay. FLOUR! FLOUR ! !
