COLUMBIANS. C. Taeaday jSorniner, May 10,1870. Immigration and Direct Trade. These subjects, intimately connected as they are, were conaidered together at the late Charleston Convention. We de? sire io commend to the attention of the public the propositions on these points adopted by the convention. The follow? ing were considered practical measures, and those were the recommendations) of the convention : 1. Tbo establishment of direct steam communication with Europe 2. The establishment of rates of rail? way transportation for immigrants from Charleston to the North-west. 3. The formation in Charleston, and at the principal points along this proposed route of immigration and travel, of so? cieties, on tho plan of the German Society of South Carolina, now in exist? ence in the city of Charleston. 4. The formation, in all the healthy Connties of this and other Southern Statos, of "COUNTY LAND AND IMMIOUA TION SoofETiKs," having for their object the settlement of immigrants upon free farms. 5. The establishment, iu Charleston, of a Central Board of Immigration. 6. The publication of matters relating to immigration and of interest to immi? grants. 7. The enaouragemeut of emigration from the Northern States to this State. The convention also recommended a specific riiAN of action, and a proposed oonstitntion and bye-laws, which we have already given in these columns. It remains now for these measures to be carried ont. All that reports, resolu? tions and recommendations can do have been done. The essential part is yot to be done. The Augusta Chronicle d; Sen nel weil sajB: "The records of the past teem with reports, resolutions, speeches, essays and editorials touching the desirableness and the advantages of promoting immigra? tion to the Sooth. Every variety of in telleciual effort has beon put forth by emi? nent Southern citizens. We have had arguments in abundance and statistics in profusion. No one has appeared to doubt the reasonableness of these argu? ments, nor tho> soundness of the logic whioh gave point to their deductions; nor was tho accuracy of the statistics questioned which made apparent the ad? vantages which would follow upon direct intercommunication with civilized Eu? rope, find a healthful increase of homo? geneous population from her swarming hives. But what has boen accomplished? We have had charters passed by our Le? gislatures, and high sounding phrases and brilliant prospectuses from very en? terprising men, petting forth alluring schemes and promising rich rewards. But there the matter, in a great measure, has ended. Now and then a small cor? poration would introduce a few Scotch weavers, and some retired merchants or wealthy planters would secure for a few years the skilled labor of Irish or Ger? man gardeners. But even in thc cases which form the exception, there waa no direct communication with Europe. Tho intervention of New York bankers nud New York agents were requisite. All that has beeu accomplished has been reached through New York and by Now York. "The recent proposal of the South Carolina Railroad Company to subscribe $100,000 for a lino of European steam? ships from the port of Charleston, is the first practical proposition of any impor? tance that has been made within our memory. The proposition, an we under? stand it, is to raino an amount sufficient to build four first class ocean steamers, and this company proposes to invest, $25,000 in each, and promises aid from roads friendly by connection, in propor? tion to thoir respective interests. Thia, as a begiuuing, looks well." A Practical Point. In the report of the Committeo on Cotton Manufactures, Col. J. B. Tulmer, one of the owners of tho Saluda Factory, being ohairman, tho following point was made, and we bring tho matter promi? nently forward. The report says: "It is the belief of your committee that the planters may, with profit to themselves, aid iu producing this re? sult, by combining together in joint stock associations, and crecliug cotton milla of sufficient capacity to work up their cotton orops. These mills should bo managed, not by the planters them? selves, but by experienced and capable business men, who will give their undi? vided attention, with experts in charge of tho mechanical departments. Manu? facturing comprises so many details, that its successful prosecution requires the most careful and systematic manage? ment. With all our advantages, inatten? tion to details and careless management cannot but produce loss. "From $2:50,000,000 to 8300,000,000 would bo added to tho value of our cot? ton crop, if wo wcro to manufacture it into yarns und woven goods. Of this, a largo amount would bo paid out for wages, and that to a class that is now not only unemployed in adding to tho weath of tho country, but for tho most port, a burden upou their parents or tho public." Hore, now, ?3 a practical suggestion. Cannot tho planters of tho Stato form joint stock companies, and have nt least a portion of their cottou worked up here nt home, thus bencfittiug themselves and tho whole State? Let tho mattor bo considered. For what port are young mon bound during courtship? Bound-to Havre. Decoration Day. "After the War."-DY Jina, BOBEBT MUSEO, JU. Drear, dark and wild the path ha? grown, By which my trembling ?topa are led, Life's sun has gone forever down, And all ot Ufo and hope ia fled. Alono-bereft of hearth and borne, I woep o'er idols made of clay; Till worn and crushed beneath tho gloom, My woary spirit faints away. Since by tho Cross that mother knelt, Who wept her God and sou divino, Iso human heart has over felt A depth of woe so deep as mine. Liko Homo dread vision of the night, lt Weichs upon my anguished soul; In vain I seek one gloam of light, In vain would Hy from its control. I reach to Heaven my suppliant banda, In speechless agony and woo; This fearful cross appalling stands. And mocka tho bitter tears that flow. Timo boars no healing on its winga, Each year wears on in lengthening gloom, Nor genorous draught from Lethe brines, Nor hope, to luro mo from tho tomb. Lot mo, juat Hoaven, thy mercy soo, Speak to my soul, its anguish hood; Thou hast not, Lord, forsaken nie ? Thou wilt not break tho bruised reed? Save, or I polish-raiso mo up Crushed to the earth beneath thy rod; Make mo resigned to drain this cup, And pray, '"Thy will bo done, my God." COLUMUIA HOTEL, May 8, 1870. A Verse- Wreath for the Tenth of May. Come, flowers, with your language sweet, Do our interpreters to-day, And say, all that is right and meet, For our poor sorrowing hearts to say, On this memorial tooth of May. Como, flowers, with your language puro, In all tho power of Nature's art; Tell how thoir memory shall endure Forever in their country's heart, Who nobly act tho patriot's part. YOB, como, all fragrant buds and flowers, That morn o'er diamonded with dow, That Spring o'ergem'd with sunny showora, Tell to tte world thero's still a few Unto tho causo of freedom truo. And, truo to them, their blood who shed For their own bleeding country's sake; Oh! almost envy wo the dead, Whoso very gravos such memories wake, As martyrs aud confessors make. Livo, Southern land! thoro's living firo beneath the turf wo wreathe to-day, Which, kindling up, shall hope iuspiro, With auch revivifying ray, That livo-yes, lrro again, yon may. MEMORIA. COLUMBIA, S. C. * v It seems reasonably sure that an Indian war is impending, and that nctivo hos? tilities will soon bo beguu. Tho admi? nistration has promptly taken vigorous action, and ordered all tho nvailablo military forco to tho plains. If wo aro to have tronblo, a vigorous policy is undoubtedly tho wisest, and will provo most humane in the end. Tho old story o? injustice aud bad faith toward tho Indians by tho whites lies nt tho bottom of tho present trouble. It is a sad com? mentary upon our boasted civilization, says the Now York Times, that wo should bo BO constantly aggressive toward so feeblo a race, and that wo should bo con? tinually exasperating them to acts of re? taliation and revenge, ouly to make it necessary to ehaatiso them. Tho pro? cess has been going on many years, and it is time somo statesmanlike policy was attompted. We sec that tho question of disconti? nuing tho official publication of books and other documents has been broached in thc Senate. This is ono of tho most extravagant aud utterly listless expendi? tures of the public money. They cost an immense amount of money annually, weigh down tho mails, and not ono in a dozen of them is ever road. The surest way to remedy tho evil, is to abolish tho franking privilege; the one will fall with tho other. Discontinue both, and in? stead of costiug us millions annually, tho Post Office Department will become a source of revenue. General B. F. Cheatham was dined by officers of his old division, in Memphis, on Friday evening. In responding to the toast in his honor, General Cheat ham said they all knew ho could not make a speech-that the longest speech ho ever mndo was when the dishearten? ing news ol' tho last days of the Con? federacy reached them in camp ono night in North Carolina; that then tho boys all gathered around him to tell thom what to do; some wanted to fight it out still, others to go to Mexico, A:c. He told them to go home, obey tho laws and make good citizens, and then he saw their heads drop as if all hope was gone, and ono by ono thoy quiotly went to their quarters. A writer in a Georgia paper says that ou n lino of rock travorsing upper Georgiu, near Gainesville to Virginia, numbers of diamonds havo been found by accident by persons who were wholly iguoraut of their nature or value. Some of these diamonds are worth from $100, 8500; $2,OUI), $'25,000 to $2,000,000. ?Several hnvo been lost and two broken to pieces to see whence carno their brilliancy. When examined by diamond miners, Georgia, tho writer says, will yield countless millions of dollars' worlh of diamonds. A balloon passed over an Indiana town, on tho ?hi, from which a noto was dropped, stating that tho occupant was alone-tho toronant haviug fallon out aud been killed. That tho voyagers started from Toronto for New York. A despatch from Toronto says that no bal? loonists had started from there. Tho affair is a mystery. FntE AT MULLINS'.-At Mullins' Depot, Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta Itailroad, on Friday, two distilleries, to? gether with a lot of turpentine, the pro? perty of Mr. Arch Gilchrist, were totally destroyed by fire. Tho los3 has been roughly estimated nt about $2,500. Proceeding? of Council. SPECIAL MEETINGS. ?.- COUNCIL- j OH A MTIER, - COLUMBIA, May 7,1870.

Mr. Solomon, desirous of extensively introducing the "Old Carolina Bittors" it being a most excellent touic us well as a pleasant beverage-keops nn um con? stantly filled on his counter, for the con? venience of all persons desirous of test? ing their virtues before purchasing.

Tho Indian war has probably com? menced in earnest, as it is reported that the Indians have captured several small forts in tho vicinity of Fort Sully and made prisoners of the garrisons. Gen. Sheridan has gone out to look after the matter, and tbero will probably bo u diversion made iu tho direction of the squaws aud pappooses. Mr. Walter It. Proctor, who was badly wounded while assisting tho Sheriff at the arrest of two desperado brothers named John and Levi Foy, in Barren County, Ky., ou tho 2Gth ult., has since died, making two victims of tbeso cut-throats. It is thought that the Foys will bo summarily dealt with. Tho tour of all the great cities of France suggested for tho Prince Imperial alone, will, it is now declared by tho French papers, be shared by tho Empe? ror aud Empress, who will make a "pro? gress" moro spleudid than tho famous one of Queen Elizabeth through Eng? land.

The vault of the Limo Rock Bauk, in Rockland, Maine, was blown open on Wednesday night and robbed of ?20,000; but the robbers were yesterday, with one exception, overhauled, and tho whole amount recovered. From the Atlanta Constitution, we learn that the publio debt of the State of Georgia, on January 1, 1870, sums up $6,014,500, the annual interest on which is about $-100,000. Most of this debt is past due. A collision occurred botween tho duwn passenger and a camp meeting train, on Sunday, on tho Sonth Carolina Rail? road, by which a small colored boy was killed and several cars badly injured.
