COLUMBIA, S. C. Wednesday Morning, March 9,1870. Dr. Tiarri lpnoetT o Comiuanlcntlon_Snb Jcct mt Innlgntlra. We ask tho attention of our readers to the communication of Dr. Tarnipseed on the Qubjcct of immigration. Dr. T. is a man of intelligence and has had the benefit of exporionoo in foreign coun? tries. His views, tho result at once of reflection and observation, will doubtless resolve attention at the hands of his f cl - low-oitizone. Ia oar judgment, oar cor? respondent has not over-esfjmated the importance of tho subject of immigra? tion, so far as the political sod general interests of this State are concerned. Aa we haye before suggested, we hold it tho paramount objeot of jmblio concern. We have never advocated and do not now seek Chinese auxiliaries. On that subject, our views are unchanged. But we do regard it a great point to intro? duce into our State such a olass of labor on and citizens as Germany, Groat Britain, and other European countries eau supply. It ?B such immigrants that have contributed so mnoh to the devel? opment Of tho great North-west. We need' hero their capital, their muscle, their'spiral, their! intelligence, their sub stan ti?l j citizenship. W% ask,our readers and all concerned in the building np of South Carolina, to invesl'?H8 subject with tts legitimate im portei?^; ; Ii. you. want a remedy for our general ills in this State-a remedy sharp, short andr decisive, it is immigration that furnishes it. This is tho work that the State Agricultural and Mechanical So? ciety should take especially in hand. A work more useful, more pressing, cannot possibly engage the attention of that body. Let no ?ene man expect anything in thin line from the present regime in South Carolina. This regime naturally will be found to oppose immigration. Those who now hold the political field in South Carolina would prefer to dose the gates of the State and hold the ground for themselves and friends of the same order. The Celt, the German, the Eng? lishman, the Scotchman, or any light haired and fair-skinned mau-for these ?hey havo no fancy. But we do want j ust such men, and whilst we are ready to give a fair field to all, without regard to race, or birth, or color, wo have on especial demand in South Carolina for the material that has been so useful to the North and the North-west. It will bo seen that Dr. Turnipseed suggests a mode of proceeduro with re? spect to the introduction and distribu? tion of immigrants. Let his FLAK bc considered. Whilst we are impressed with the impoitance of the subjeot, we havo at present no plan of our own. It may bo that the plan suggested will bo found to meet the case. One point more. Wo are satisfied that Dr. T. might havo gone farther and suggested the modo of accommodating another class of immigrants. Wo mean the class disposed to beoomo land? holders at once. We hold that onr laud-holders in general throughout the whole State ought, by general and con? certed arrangement, to hold out the most liberal inducements. We throw out this idea, and would be pleased to hear from our friends on tho subject. What we want is a practical, icell-planncd, well-digested, general scheme in behalf af European immigration. Dr. Turnipseed has suggested a plan. Let others givo thoir views. We invite a consideration of this subject. It concerns U3 much. It is worthy of thought. - WAK BETWEEN THE DRV GOODS PRINCES.-A New York letter says: "For several days a dosperato fight has been going on between Stewart and Claflin, the kings of tho dry goods market. Stewart started it by 'marking down' be? low Claflin's figures. Claflin followed suit; Stewart cut down again; then Claflin; and so tho war has gono on for a week. Dry goods men tell me they never saw tho market so excited as it is by this war between tho two great houses. Both parties are selling at prices that are absolutely ruinous. Stewart's pugnacity and capital will carry him throngh, but houses not as strong as his will probably go by the board be? fore the storm blows over." -<-??-? CONGRESSMAN BOWEN.-A special de? spatch to tho Charleston News, dated Washington, March 7, says : "The inquiries of the Military Com? mittee in tho matter of tho sale of cadot ships, have lately been dirocted against Congressman C. C. Bowon, and enough has already been ascertained to render it likely that his case may provo even more interesting in its disclosures than that of his decapitated colleague, Whittemoro." J. G. Harding, an Englishman of wealth and a residont during the lost throe weeks at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, in New York, committed suicide Satur? day morning, in a house of ill-fame, in West Twenty-seventh street. Immigration. Mn. EDITOR: In the varions uphcav? ings of governments and society, that sro periodically ?r*is??pSGc?. is thc history of the so-called oivilizsed world, it.is bat natural that there should bo Outbursts of indignation from tho thoughtful and re fleeting portion of the inhabitants, as well as some suggestions as remedies for prevailing evils. The redemption from political evils, as well as tho machina? tions of designing men, of governments having any claims to civilisation anterior to the state of the present era, lead us almost to believe that God in his provi? dence baa interfered directly, either by permitting the man or men equal to the times to be born; or a combination of circumstances that would overthrow the party who had conspired agaiust the established government and tho public welfare. Bomb had its Cinoinnatus; Prussia its Frederiok; Ru-isia its Peter; France its Robespierre, Marat and finally ita Napoleon; England ita Cromwell ; and last, but not least, America had its Wash? ington. Some of the abovo named men, who wero brought to the surface by po? litical and social convulsions, wera not good men, but they doubtless were in? strumental in bringing about a bettor state of things, both politically as well as socially. History seems constantly repeating itself, and it proves conclusive? ly how little progress Las been mado during the last 1870 years that the world, claiming tho front ranks in civilisation, bas profited nothing by the past. Tho Roman Government, anterior to thc Christian ora. was a better one than we aro living under, to-day. Their adherence to an oath or compact was far more te? nacious, and'regarded in many instances as more sacred than life itself. It has been well said, that "tho best govern? ment is tho one beet, administered." Prominent and leading men of tho party now in power have, openly proclaim eil that they are acting "without tho Constitution of the United States." And, further, ns the cause of the South has so often been proven in accordance to the divine will of God, they have declared that "there isa higher law than the Bible," This party term themselves progressive, beoauso they have gradually and successful ly en? croached upon the Constitution and the Bible, and in the prospective hold out the inducements that they cannot be overthrown, because thoa far they have been accorded the right by the voice of the people, and that "revolutions never go backwards." It would lengthen this article too much to go into tho history of parties as they have sprung up and passed away, from the days of Washington up to tho present. I will only state some facts as now conceived by me, in reference to the past, present and fnture condition and prospects of South Carolina and the other Southern States. I have, for many years, been of the opinion that a Republic, in its purity, such as ours was in the days of its found? ers, could not last, unless the country continued to give birth to pure men of masterly intellect, such as the publio could confidently look to as men capable of shaping their political course. Tho masses of mankind havo always been exceedingly ignorant, and we cannot confidently look to the period when more is promised tho well-wishers of human kind. This fact, together with the m?? mense crowding, great want and beggary in large cities, leads to bribery aud such corruption as would more than content the vilest politician. The faot is, great political and social convulsions never can be avoided or prevented in any country where there are great cities; and 1 have no doubt, (as I expressed myself nnterior to the late war,) that if all the large cities of the United States had been destroyed and their inhabitants forced to become agricultural, that there would have beon no war; and all our political difficulties would have been settled after the forms prescribed by the Constitution. It was doubtless thedegeneracy.both physically und mentally, together with great politi? cal and social upheavings naturally inci? dent to densely populatod cities, that caused the destruction of Troy, Athens, Thebes, Carthago, Babylon, Jerusalem and Rome; and there is no doubt, ere long, all great cities of the world will undergo the same desperate ordeal. Mr. Calhoun was ono o? our purest and greatest men, and as I was brought np a Democrat, could not holp being one of Iiis many and great admirers. But there was ono great defect in Mr. Calhoun's political history; and that is, while he was oloquent, earnest and persistent in declaiming tho great wrongs then in? dicted, and iu the future to be redou? bled upon the South, aud while he pointed out with wonderful pathos tho quicksands, the Scylla's and Charybdis' I that should bo avoided, and that if tho ship of ?Stale carno into collision with, I would subvert every vestige of our liber? ties, ho seemingly neglected to proscribe a logical remedy. Really, in his day, I oven, there was but one of two things to preserve tho balance of political power ; iu the youth; the ono was tho renewal of the slave trade, or thc rapid introduction ; of foreign labor. It is true, if his con I current majority, advocated in his works, I and no doubt designod by tho founders ? of our Government as tho palladium of i our liberties, had beon adhered to, tho Constitution might havo boon perpetu? ated. But notwithstanding all his argu? ments tended to prove that constitu? tional compacts would bo disregarded, he seemingly forgot to prescribe a course that would strongtheu tho ballot-box. Immigration is tho only remedy left to redeem our State from political degra? dation; und this, uo doubt, would relieve the whole South of her internal trou? bles, and perhaps, with Northern com? binations, ovorthrow the party in power. With a majority of white voters at each and every ballot-box of any importance throughout the South, the radical party would cease to have a name; as the ma? jorities which gave it importance at I ?'aTO p?X" If you tek4s"&6 iH?o andi all that appertain? to him from toe radi? cal party, we can afford to lei avery ooo "ticket. nal* ahead ?fro fu eren ally tom Sis ?$aT?oe, (friendship politically and socially. Thia will never como to pass BO long as he ia in the majori-1 ty; and so long aa men holding either high social or political, positions accept or hold office under the jcriediotion of their party, whether it be, aa somo reason, for thefpublic welfare? or as others say, "for the-money." All such, when time and events havo effaced the radical party, should be remembered, only to wear the mark of him who "sold his birth-right for a mess of pottage." It is so plain to see that the white mun must rule this continent, that "he who runs may read." Tba only question is, which is the shortest w^y to effect this? I have always been, and nra still, one of the best friends thc negro can claim in tho position and capacity in which God designed him-that of au inferior to the white race. This I um willing to bo tested by the ovidonce of my former slaves. In order to make me bis friend in tho radical sense, it devolves upon his party to prove the converse of my pro? position, and no longer appeal to the sympathies of our race, in order to hide his faults. And now for tho points for which I have briefly endeavored to preparo your readers. Immigration as now in? stituted cannot be a success for the pre? sent generation. The great difficulty is, that the organizations as now constituted compel every man who wishes to pro? cure emigrant labor, to understand, as well ns undergo, cither all, or at least a part of its risks, of losses or gains. This plan is confining it at onco to tho leading and intelligent minds of the people of the Sonth. The immigrant should be placed at every man's door, BO that when he is in need of labor-the demand for which ls constantly increas? ing-he can employ bim, giving to parties such a bonus as would be remu? nerating for the great convenience. My proposition is, that the men of South Carolina, who comprehend fully the necessity of moving in this matter, form a joint stock company of, say $10, $20, 350 or even $100 per share. Organize a central or distributing bureau at Borne central point, perhaps Columbia would do; and sub-bureaus at each village in the State; let all arrivals first report at the central bureau, and bo distributed according to tho various demands of the sub-bureaus throughout the State. Whenever an im m ?grant arri ves, his name, age and birth-place, as well as his trade or occupation, as well as letters of refer? ence or recommendation, should be duly recorded for future reference. The farmer or planter applying for a laborer, has omy to call for the kind of laborer, and the clerks at each bureau, by refer? ring to tho books, can send him the sort of persons he desires; he, tho farmer or planter, paying all expenses incurred by the bureau, as well as a bonus for ex? penses and profits to stockholders. Thorn might be an experimental farm established in tho vicinity of each bu? reau, where these immigrant laborers could be profitably omployed until called for; nnd should any remain on hand during the summer months, they could be directed in farm work, so as to make and harvest a'full crop. Agents could be sent to England, Ireland, Scot? land, Franco, Holland, Sweden and Norway, Germany and Italy; and I am told by persons who have recently re? turned from trans-Atlantic countries, that great numbers could bo procured by only securing them a homo aud em? ployment I havo seen this system working admirably infPari*, in getting employment for laborers and domestics in every capacity; there it has proven, not only a success, but of mutual benefit and profit to all parties. I cannot, for one moment, see how it could be ma? naged in those largo European cities in auy other way. Some ten or twelve years ago the samo system waa com? menced in New York city. Tho distributing bureau for the great North-western States is Castlo Garden, iu New York city. Wo never will suc? ceed to any extent until wc adopt the joint stock company plan, and no longer trust to tho general intelligence of tho people upon this matter. Tho immi? grant desiros to come; givo him the means; place him at tho door of thoso pleading for labor; sosurc go^d labor by references; make their contracts, and all will move on harmoniously, and South Carolina and tho whole South will no longer dip their colors to hators of law, order and good government. E. 13. TURNIPSEED. OAK GROVE, S. C., March, 1870. MR. EDITOR: WO had tho pleasure of attending, last evening, one of the de? lightful entertainments of Tremaine and Brother, given in behalf of tho Mission Presbyterian Church. There waa some? thing so natural about the whole per? formance, that we carno away feeling moro than repaid. Had it not been for tho rostrum and benches, wo would felt that we were in the family circle. Tho singers seemed to throw their whole soul into tho music, without any of tho "put? ting on" which marks the stage, and yet nil tho cultivation which art confers. Tho voices were all fine, such as wo havo not heard for many days. We wish the ! gontlenien. much success, thank them for tho pleasuro thoy gavo us, and hope that we may be permitted to enjoy ono of thoso "treats" again. EUTERPE. Tho Hon.

The Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad Company having been formed by the consolidation of tho Charlotte and South Carolina and tho Columbia and Augusta Railroad, and having executed a first and only uiortgago on its entire properly o? 195 miles, inoluding equip? ment, is now redeeming all the bonds formerly issued by said two companies by au exchange of its first mortgage bonds.

QnxjniT^BWfiiB P*YwnMm~.Ia regard to the gold situation and apeoie pay? ments, we find the following in the New York papers. The T^-ibune regarda the decline of tho premium in gold aa indi? cating "the long-wisked-for financial millenium-specie payments." And in reference to retail, houses making uso of silver, it says: "These acts of small dealers aud restaurant-keepers may be mero shrewd devices to gaiu popular favor, but not so the action of the banks, 'some of the wealthiest and most prominent of which, it is said, are earnestly considering the propriety of making au end of tho un? settled condition of monetary affairs by boldly proclaiming resumption. It was whispered on the street, with much of a tone of authority, that, in the event that no reaction occurred, the Chemical Buuk would next woek announce the re? sumption of specie payments." The Express of Saturday oveniug, says: "Meanwhile trade has been affected during the past week by tho decline in gold, and values havo undergone a shrinkage, although the decline gener? ally has not beeu very marked. The fall in prices, however, has had the bene? ficial result of stimulating trade and the amount of merchandise distributed from this point during thc week is larger than for any previous week siuce the opening of the year. Buyers geuerolly, who have been delaying their purchases in conc-equence of the declining tendency of gold and cotton, have taken hold ?moro freely, aud. ns a natural conse? quence, business is steadily cu tho in . crease. The spring trade is now fairly : opened." GEOKGEOUS ATTIRE.-The niost elegant i dress ever secu in America was worn at a ; late disreputable bull in the' metropo? lis. 1,200 yurds of delicate white illusion, 40 yards of the costliest gold cord, 38 yards of salmon-colored satin, 15 yards of white satin, and 8 yards of thread lace, were used in making this beautiful pattern dress. It was made by an American modiste, after designs by ! tho wearer, and is a triumph ever all im? ported costumes. If we add to the dress a wealth of brown hs.ir, decorated with an Elizabethan plume, a side feather, sigrette, with a butterfly of diamonds and gold, made in Paris < at great cost; a full parure of rich flowers of garlands; bretelles and begonias, with diamond ear-rings, necklace and finger rings, our lovoly blonde carried 375,000 in her promenade around the floor, yet scarcely knew the weight sho bore or the sensation she created.

Ex parte Clarko, Bros. & Co. et al., in re James W. Grady. Application for final discharge in bankruptcy. It wus ordered that the petitioners have fifteen days after filing of registrar's report, to file tho specification in opposition to bankrupt discharge. A colored man at Stevenson, Ala., fired a gun into a house where there were women and children, although without killing auy one. A party of dis? guised men, knowing how good tho darkey's intentions were to kill some one, took him away to the woods, and his wife now dresses in black. One of the most destructive fires ever witnessed in Newark, N. J., broke oat there last night, between ll and 12 o'clock, among a group of buildings lo? cated on the Passaic Uiver front, at the foot of Centre street, opposite the Centre street depot. The loss is estimated at over 3100,000. Tho New York World publishes an absurd s*ory from its Paris correspond? ent, that tho Emperor Napoleon died under the knife of his physician in Sep ? (einher la.-.t, and that another individual, bearing a strking resemblance to him, j has been "appearing for him" on public . occasions. i Wealth is desirable for what it enables i us to do or eu joy; but it is not desirable i at the cost of honesty and honor and true manhood. It is not desirable when truth and virtue and religion, when hon? orable usefulness and happiness here, and eternal happiness hereafter must be sacrificed. A jealous young Ciueinoatian, who a few oveniug ago climbed upon u fence to peep into tho parlor to see what other gentleman was calling on bis betrothed, ? was mistaken for a burglar. He will never climb that fenco again. A miserly Scotch lord had picked up a small copper coin, and was observed to put it in his pocket by a beggar, who exclaimed, "Oh, gie't to mo, my lord;" to which tho quiet answer was, "Na, no; fiu' u fardiu for yerself, puir body." Miss Emma Janes has vanquished fifty? one competitors for tho State educational diploma of California, and been elected i to a professorship in tho University of I the Pacific. Henry Heinierle, of Hudson, Now York, committed suicido tho other day, on the eve of his wedding, leaving a note saying, "I don't want to make that girl unhappy." It is not a good plan, after you have driven a nail in a sure place, instead of just clinching and leaving it, to keep hammering away till you break tho head off or split the board. And now tho Revolution complains be? cause a Washington woman koops a faro bnuk, where Treasury girls and other loosenesses go to buck the tiger. "Just tho thiug!"

M9f3 E.OSKOO.-Tho Norfolk Haily Journal, ot December ll, 1869, says: "This medicine is rapidly gaining confi? dence of the people, and tho numerous testi? monials of ita virtuos, given hy practitioners of medicine, leaves uo doubt that it is a safe and reliable remedy for IMPCRITX OF THE BLOOD, LIVER DISEASE, Seo." Thc last Medical Journal contains an arti? cle from Prof. lt. S. Newton, M. D., President o? the E Medi-Colloge, city of New York, that speaks in high terms of ita curative proper? ties, and gives a special recommendation of Koakoo to the practitioners of medicine. This ia, we believe, tho first instance where such medicines have been officially endorsed by tho Faculty of any of the Medical Colleges, aiid reflects great credit upon the skill of Dr. Lawrence, its compounder, and also pats "Koskoo" iu tho VAN of all other medicines of the present day. F2G A TEJ?ALE REGULATOR.-Woman and her needs. For complaints and irregularities to which her sex is exclusively liable, HEINITSH'S QCEEN'S DKI.IOIIT is recommended on the au? thority of wives, mothers and nurses, who have tested its tome and regulating properties,and ' know whereof they speak;" and also with tho sanction of ablo physicians, who have admi? nistered the QUEEN'S DELIOHT to their female patients, in obstinate cases, with the happiest results. Almost all female complaints are complicated with mental gloom and despon? dency, tho gentle and lasting exhilarating effects of tho QUEEN'S DELIOHT is admirably adapted to such cases. As a remedy for hys? teria and mental depression, it has no equal in the world. Nursing mothers find it an ad? mirable invigorant. It ia highly satisfactory that this preparation should prove so emi? nently beneficial to the sex. Young and old will find relict always. For sale hy FISHER SC HEINITSII.
