COLUMBIA. Saturday Morning. December 5? 1808 FOREIGN IMMIGRATION.-But few persons have an adequate idea of the numbor of immigrants annually ar? riving in the United States, or of the amount of wealth they bring with them. Statisticians estimate tho number of immigrants from Euro petiu States io this oouuiry since 1790, at six millions five hundred thousand, and that their descendants to-day nnmber fully twenty millions, or about one-half of the entire popu? lation. From 1820 to 1830, tho num? ber of foreigners landed on our shores was 244,190; from 1830 to 1840, 552,000;from 1840 to 1850, 1,588,300; from 1850 to 1860, 2,707,624. Tho annual average of immigration since 1860 is put down by Mr. Banks at 350,000, and actual investigation has proved that each emigrant, man, woman and child, represents from eighty to one hundred dollara. Thus, in thc aggregate, nearly $30,000,000 in gold ?8 added to tho money re sources^of the country annually by immigration alone. A cotemporary says: "Bnt wo must look further than the money value of the immi? grant, and consider his productivo caDacity." Estimating his labor nt. fivo hundred dollars a year, at this rate our annual immigration would add ono hundred and fifty millions a yoar to the cash value of the country. ?-??-? Fort LaFayette, in New York har? bor, which was made so notorious during tho war, os a placo of confine? ment for Confederate prisoners, was accidentally destroyed by fire, on the 1st. It was undergoing repairs, and a vast amount of material was within the enclosure. The fire raged until past mid-night, completely gutting tho entire work of everything of au inflammable nature. Great fears were entertained that au explosion would occur, from thc fact that there were 35,000 pounds of gunpowder in tho magazine. Fortunately, though sorely triod, tho bomb-proof proved efficient in staying the progress ol the fire in that dangerous quarter, and a fearful explosion was averted. < .?.?- ? GOODNEWB.-A Washington lettei in the Baltimore Gazelle says that ? decidedly better feeling seems to prc vail among leading radicals now hon than existed last winter. I may sa} that there is a prospect of removing the disabilities under which Souther! men aro now prostrated. The negro elected to Congress iron thc second Louisiana District ii chosen to fill a vacancy, and ma; therefore be expected ut Washingtoi to take his scat at the nppronouinj session. -.-?<-> The Hon. H. F. Bussell, the newly elected Democratio Mayor of Augus ta, together with tho Council, wer inducted into office, ou Thnrsduy In tho evening, there was u jollificn tion, which is thus described by th Constitutionalist: "The gratification of our citizen over the election for Mayor am members of Council, culminated, las night, in a gonoral celebration. Ou streets were brilliantly illuminate' with bon-fires, while tho very ai seemed on fire with beautiful pyre technic displays." The enjoyment wo participated in by old and youufj , making tho city almost 'a jubileo o fensts,r aud showing bow deep wu tin; joy of our people for their n lease from thc terrible misrule wbicl lik.* a 'tyrant grim and fearful i his rage' up to Wednesday lus held them in bondage. 77/a featia of tho occasion, however, was th rm ck funeral of tho late 'Mayor This was participated in by an in meuse crowd, who, with torchos, ti pans, trumpets and other fearful] discordant instruments, marched i solemn array behind a collin buri upon tho shoulders of some ton pal bearers, who were black, or uppcarc to be; ull wore thu deepest babil menta of woe. The cortege preced? by outriders, paraded through tl principal streets to tb? music of thc various instruments, and finally pr cceded to tho bridge, where, wii appropriate ceremonies aud milita: .salutes, thc coffin was cast into tl river. Thc march to tho bridgo w to thc tune of tho 'Dead Marci and thc cortege returned with on vening struius aud soon disbaude The enjoyment of thc occasion w happily concluded byu brilliant i ccptiou at tho Masonic Hall, whe largo numbers regaled thcmselv with many good things, and in t matter of food and drink, famish through tho generosity of our mm pal officers. Thus ends tho life nn illegal gov. rnmcnt uhdeommone I bat of law and order." Employment of Lnbnr. MK. EDITOK: We have boen ro? quent ed to aend you the enclosed correspondence, inasmuch as it refers to a subject of public interest. Re? spectfully yours, T. STOBO FARROW. SPARTANBUKO, NOV. 28, 1868. Messrs. Wade Hampton, J. D. Pope, J. P. Thomas ar.d others, State Cen? tral Etecutive Committee. GENTLEMEN: Knowing the interest fait UT? ?m.? ?nil?v?jnallrflnil ?'..?> >-.>-? ^ ie:; cy yea inaiviauauy ?~v. t you represent, in all questions affect? ing the welfare of the State, I take the liberty of asking your opinion and advice upon a question which, though domestioand individual iu its immediato relations, assumes the na? ture ot a State question in somo of its bearings. I allude to tho disposi? tion of some of our citizens not to employ laborers next year who voted the Republican ticket in tho recent election. I am aware that tho "State Central Club" nover adopted nor recom? mended tho adoption of that policy, or any other, favoring any interfer? ence with tho freo exercise of the electivo franchise. On the contrary, tho State Club invariably recom? mended such measures only as were calculated to prevent force, fraud, or any improper influence, and to se oure, as far as possible, a fair elec? tion, which policy has beeu fully sustained as a party, even under the most trying circumstances. Individuals, of course, have the right to employ whomsoever they pleoRr?. n.nri could not be expected to employ those who have made them? selves particularly obnoxious to their employers, by taking n leading and active part against their interests. But thcro were many of that class re? cently enfranchised, who, being ig? norant and credulous, were deceived, and in many instances, threatened with violence, if they did not vote the Republioau ticket. Some of them have, since tho election, admitted that they were deceived into voting against their own true interests, and express regret nt having done so. Under such circumstances, though there may bo but a fow such indivi? duals who may bo thus deprived of employment, would it not bc but carrying out tho established State policy of the Democratic., party, foi your Committee (its representative head) to urge every ono to exorcise fl lenient and forbearing spirit in th? premises, to save, if possible, oven those fow individuals from being subject to unnecessary hardship' Very respectfully, yours, Ac, T. STOBO FARROW. COLUMBIA, December 4, 18G8. To Col. T. Stobo Farrow. Sm: In reply to your communion tion, wo have the honor, respectfully to indicate our concurrence in th? viows therein expressed. Tho quos tion is one which, in our opinion mould be left for every citizen (a: in the Northern States and else where) to decide for himself. Whils it is tho undoubted right of even mau to regulato the employment o Iiis labor, wo hope that a libera policy will bo pursued, as the OD? ?ocessary to bo carried out towardi tho laboring classes of onr com mu oity. Wo cannot but express tb? nope, that this question may excii Qo differenco of opinion, bot tba it may be dealt with in a spirit, thu diall recognize at once tho rights o the employee, nnd ut the samo time promote tho peace, industry am prosperity of thc State. Whil tho State. Club has persistently refnf sd to act on the matter, as in no sens j party question, nevertheless, in th capacity of the Executive Coramil tee, we venture again to repeat on approval of tho sentiments express 3d in your letter. Very respectfullv JOS. DANIEL POPE. * J. P. THOMAS. F. wT. MCMASTER. W. M. SHANNON. W. B. STANLEY. -1 4 ? > - TUe Stoic Legislature. EIOHTH DAV'S PBOOEEDINGS. SENATE.
