Excellency Jame? li, Orr, Governor of South Carolina. SIR: Conformably to the Act of the General Assembly, of 186G? ??nd in obedience to the request of your Excellency, I respectfully submit'the following brief report of thc operations of this Bureau: On the 18th of February last, I had the honor to receive the appointment of Commissioner. I forthwith advertised in all tho papers of the State for registration of lands for sale, and for notice of such labor ns should be wanted. At the same time I prepared a pamphlet for distribution in the countries of Europe and of our Northern States and cities, containing a sketch of the history and resources of South Carolina, with other matters of usoful informa? tion, and such registries of lands and labor as had been made, to which Wt* appended a map of the State. Of this 5,000 copies have been printed in English, 5,000 copies in German, 2,000 in Danish? and 2,000 in Swedish. In April, your Excellency appointed Mr. Perler the agent for Scandinavia; and in May, Capt. Melchers for Germany, and Major Byan for Ireland. Messrs. Ferler and Melchers, after having given boiidB for the faithful discharge of their duties, sailed for their field? of operation in May; but Maj. Ryan, having since removed to ToxaSj haB resigned his office, and no successor to him has, as yet, been appointed. In June, I found it necessary to publish a circular to the citizens of the State, urging their co-operation with the efforts of this Bureau. In August, I had obtained so many additional registries, that I deemed it proper to publish another pamphlet, Supplement No. 1, in which, at the same time, I endeavored to reply to some animadversions of the European press. This has also been published in English, German and the Scandinavian languages. I have, on several occasions, been strongly advised to publish a translation of the pamphlets in French, but not being myself a sufficient master of that language to perform this task, I would ask the concurrence of your Excellency and your permisti?n to employ a translator at a reasonable charge. There is no doubt I that our success depends very much on a liberal distribution of useful information of our State and her resources, and of gaining, in this manner, thc attention of tho emigrant. I have encountered very bitter opposition in my endeavors, both at home and abroad; but I have also found numerous friends and well-wishers, even in the North and in Europe, and their advice has uniformly been to print in every language and scatter our pamphlets broadcast everywhere. During the year, I have delivered several addresses in various parts of our State, for the purpose of awakening a general interest in the measures of immigration, which, through tho kindness of tho press and De Bold1 s Review, have been extensively circulated. In October, I published another circular, with special referenco to labor, contracts and the advance of the passage money for such in? dustrious immigration ns could, in that manner, be enabled to accept employment in our State. From Germany and Scandinavia, many such could have been obtained; but I am sorry to say, that our people were so embarrassed in ready means, that no result was ob? tained. Having received advices from our agents, that it might bo possible to establish a line of steamers to Charleston, if any encou? ragement of reasonable success could be obtained, I took the liberty to address letters to the Charleston Chamber of Commerce and Board Of Trade, of which your Excellency received copies at tho time, requesting of them such information ns they', above all, could ! best furnish regarding the matter; but no reply has been received, excepting a note from the President of the Board of Trade, that ho would forward the matter with a hearty good will. I am grieved at this, because our merchants aro a class of well-informtd people, capable of making reliable reports, that would exercise a powerful influence in Europe. A fine of steamers would be of the greatest benefit to us, not only in the matter of trade, but in giving tis a share of the better class of immigrants, who generally prefer to cross the ocean in that manner. Besides, I am of opinion, that by inducing the railroads to combine a reduced rat ti of fare to Memphis, . and getting such a line of steamers, the port of Charleston might become the entry for immigrants to Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, etc. The immense value of this must be obvious to all, without my going into any further details of reasoning. In accordance with the requirements of tho law, I have opened a book for the registry of lauds, and these now number 125 proprie? tors; with 911,272 acres of lands, at rates of 60 cents to $15 per acre-generally ranging from $3 to $8; in a few instances, exceed? ing even the highest mentioned figure-. Of th?se, two plantations have been sold through this agency to Northern parties, and one has been settled by the proprietors with h small colony of Germans, and called Germanville, on such just a id liberal terms, that it is certain to succeed and increase rapidly. Other registered propertj I is now being treated for by Northern parties, and I have the assur? ance from Pennsylvania, that a company of mechanics and other j men of enterprise is now being formed, to purchase one of our water-powers, and to develop it at onco. I have also opened books for employers, and another for ora ployees. One hundred and ono persons have obtaint .1 work in tho country, and our railroads have kindly, upon my request, forwarded thom at half fare. Another book, a geuoral registry of immigrants, shows that 248 persons have arrived in this State, of whom tins office has had cognizance. Many more have arrived; but not having
