A meeting of the citizens of Rich? land Fork, favorable to the introduc? tion of foreign white labor in tho neighborhood, was held at tho store of Messrs. Hanunhan & Co., on the 9th of May last. Tho meeting was organized by calling Colonel T. B. Clarkson to the chair, and appoint? ing Mr. W. W. White to net us Secre? tary. The subject was thoroughly discussed, and a committee, consist? ing of Dr. Ray and Messrs. Green, Bates and Weston, was appointed to draft a constitution for an "Immi? grant Society," to collect such in? formation as could be obtained on the snbjeot, and submit the same at the next meeting, to be held at the same place, on the 23d instant, at 12 o'clock. Pursuant to this adjournment, a meeting was held, at tho time nnd place above mentioned, and having be9n called to order by tho Chair? man, Col. T. B. Clarkson, Mr. R. H. Clarkson was requested to act as Secretary. The Chairman then made a few interesting remarks on the general subject of foreign labor among us, and concluded by stating the impressions he had received from gentlemen with whom ho had con? ferred in Charleston, viz: Rev. Dr. Baohman, Rev. Mr. Miller, and others. Mr. H. P. Green, appointed at former meeting to address Messrs. . Van Bokolen, Balthasar and Leiding, read replies from those gentlemen, and a circular from Mr. P. Bonfort, .of New York city, agent for pro? curing German and Irish laborers for planters. Mr. Balthasar, of tho new German settlement known ns Ger? mantown, in this District, bei ig present, was called on, and made some interesting and encouraging statements relative to the chances of procuring reliable German laborers. He advised, "that planters should not aeok their laborers in New York and other Northern ports, but get them directly from the old country. Those Germans who have emigrated North are mostly off-scouring; thc worst kind of people, drinkers anti dissipated. We ought to get stable men from their homes, and not those that have straggled out here, withoul any definite end in view. Reliable German laborers could be got foi either money wages or share of crop The chances of living in the ok country were vory poor, and wngei very low, and they would bo sure t< come, if they knew what chance: there were ont here." He concludet his remarks by offering to give tin names of German houses to write ti for laborers. At the close of thesi remarks, it was resolved, on motioi of Mr. Hi P. Green, that tho abov be received as information. Dr. Ray Chairman of Committee on Framinj Constitution, then reported tho fol lowing: ARTICLE 1.

TION.-Tho agricultural statistics of Ireland for thc year 18G7 havo been published, and exhibit a melancholy condition of affairs. They show a decrease of 81,287 acres in tho land under cultivation. Tho most marked diminution is noticeable under tho head of potatoes, .IS.OOO acres; oats, 39.000; wheat, 38,000. On tho oilier baud, there is an increase in hay of 50,000 acres. On tho estimated pro? duce, per statute acre, there is a most glaring decrease of 2.5 tons in the yield of flax, and 1.1 tons in the yield of cabbages. A decrease in tho total produco is shown in wheat, 632,000 bushels; barley, 10,400 bush ols; rye, 4,320 bushels; mangold wurtzel, 11,500 tons; cabbages, 156, 000 tons; and flax, 5,500 tons. An increase is shown of 1,200,000 bush? els in oats, and 396,000 bushels in barley, 78,000 tons in potatoes, and 123,000 in turnips; hay, 191,000 tons. The number of emigrants who left Irish ports in 1867 was 81,700, being a decrease of 19,500 compared with 1866. Tho number of males who emigrated in 1867 was 45,800, being 14,800 less than in 18GG; tho female amounted to 35,800, being a decrease of 4,700. A WARNING FROM CALIFORNIA. According to tho Sau Francisco Bulletin, the State of California is full of starving clerks and thriving labor? ers. Every steamer "brings youug fellows from New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore, and even from London, Glasgow, Franco and Germany, lookiug for situations." The condition of these young men is thus decribed : "Some have even been foolish enough to throw up berths at home, thinking that because California is a prosperous country, clerks must be in demand. When they get here they walk the streets, bore their ac? quaintances, prey upon their friends, and are snubbed by strangers who are weary of ausweriug the common interrogatory, 'Do you want a clerk in this establishment?' " Men with trades, on the contrary, are said to be generally prosperous; and it has beeu proved that five years of steady manual labor iii California, at the present rates ofj wages, will give a mau a good houso and a good furm. AMERICANS IN HONDURAS.-A cor? respondent of tho Mobilo Register, writing from Balizo, British Hondu? ras, says: "There are about 1,000 Americans in this colony, who aro bona fule set? tlers. They are scattered all over the country, still there aro sevoral neighborhoods that aro quite thickly settled, viz. : there aro thirty Ameri? can families living in close proximity on tho Moho Uiver; a number of families on South Santa Creek; seve? ral on the Mullens Uiver, and eight? een miles from tho city, on tho Man? atee Uiver, are twenty-two families of Americans, in a circuit of five miles. Nearly all tho largo sugar planters are scattered along Now Uiver. All aro driving ahead at something and doing well. But one mau that over settled in the colony from tho States has gone back. The Worlil, which has played with the Chase movement for tho past week or two, now givos it the cold shoulder, and thinks (in Saturday's issue) that the Democratic party can have no bond of fellowship with tho frinoipal advocate of negro suffrage, t has probably discovered this fact at some cost, and we hope it will not forget it, and that the leeson may not bo lost upon those who have a desire to follow strange political gods.

Many ladies, particularly mothers nursing, complain of a tired, listless feeling, or completo exhaustion, on arising in thc morning. On tho wifo and mother de? volves the responsibility of regulating the duties of tho household. Uer cares aro numerous, and tho mental as well as physical powers aro frequently called into requisition. Sho often linds fier slightest occupation a wcarv task and existence a b?rden, while at the samo time sho has no regular disnawo. HOSTETTER'S STO? MACH BITTERS, if resorted to at this period, will prove an unfailing rcmedv for this annoying lassitude. Tho effects of this potentagent aro soon scon in tho rosy cheek and elastic step of thc head of tho family, as with restored health and re? newed spirits she takes her accustomed placo in tho family circle. If this friend in need ho regularly used, thoso depressing symptoms will never bc complained of, and not only would lassitude not bo expe? rienced, hut many diseases following its advent ho avoided. As a MEDICAL AGENT, it has no equal, while its pleasing flavor and healthful effects have mado it a general favorite. It is freo from all pro? perties calculated to impair thc system, and its operations aro at onco mild, sooth? ing and efficient. All who havo used tho Bitters attest its virtues and commend it to neo. Juno 9 fG ?MANHOOD."-Another Now Medical Pamphlet from the pen of Dr. Curtis.
