Ferlov, the agent sent from South Carolina to Sweden and Den? mark, to induce immigration to this State, will bo read with great interest by planters ard merchants: HAMBURG, January 3, 1868. General John A. Wagener, Commis? sioner of Immigration. SIR: It is with a great deal of satis? faction I can communicate to you, that I have at last arrived at some? thing more definite, in regard to a direct communication with Europe. The Hamburg American Steamship Company have authorized me to in? form you, that the company will be willing to let those steamers, which are now running to New Orleans, touch at Charleston, if goods or emi? grants enough can be furnished to pay for the expense. Tho steamers would commence on tho 1st October, 1868, and make seveu trips to New Orleans, the last triv April, 1869, though a steamer mu, bo hud at any other time, if it should become neces? sary. The company would also form a second compauy with tho merchants of Charleston, and let them have one or two steamers, as the case might require, and work to their mutual in? terest. It is tho desire here, that tho cot? ton should be imported direct, aud not over England. The Hamburg American Steamship Company is too well known-so I need not tell you that the proposal is made in good faith, and it will now rest with tho merchants o? Charleston to act in this matter. A direct communication can now be established, and I do not need to enlarge upon how much, in everyway, it would benefit our State. Hoping soon to hear from you iu re? lation to this mattor, I am, very re? spectfully, W. J. FERLOV,* State Agent. A Houston (Texas) newspaper gives somo rather sensiblo advice to young men about to visit thnt place in search of business situations. It says: "Stay away; there aro no vacancies here. Stay whore you aro; pull off your -coat; take hold of a plough. Stay away from tho cities. Times are hard, 'tis true; thoy will never bo flush unless we all learn to depend on our own resources, and work out our own salvation." Just Received. AQUANTITY of FINE STOMACH BIT?

CIAL DENTURES, whereby tho strength, reliability and facility of repair, pertain? ing to swaged plate work, is communicated to moulded metalic or vulcanizable base. Strong Plate Teeth aa firmly attached to the base as if soldered to swaged plate, are, by this process, substituted for those specially designed for moulded base. By their uso the operator ia left freo to ex? ercise his own judgment in their arrange? ment, and linda himself no longer conflnod to the aamcncbB of tho present stylo of blocks, or single teoth weakened by carv? ing for moulded work. No new appliances ure reqnircd in this process. Tt is easily acquired by any ono familiar with either moulded or swagod work. It givea to tho operator contidenco in tho reliability of hie cases, exempting him from thc disappointment and per? plexity often ni tendant on his most faith? ful efforts. It renders partial cases as reli? able as full sets, and, consequently, will tend to ameliorate tho present deplorable practice of extracting every tooth, eonnd or unsound, which atanda in the way of tho latter.
