COLUMBIA, S. C. Friday ?Lorning, June 3,1870. Tra7nlgrutlon-"Wc?lTf?nl or South? ward!" In the New York Times, ol May 31st ult., wo find some observations on the above subject, winch we deem sensible and suggestive. The Times, alluding to the small proportion of tho volume of emigration which reaches the South, commenta thereupon and undertakes to give the philosophy of tho flow West? ward. It admits that the South is a re? gion, ia many respects, the finest on the continent-that labor is in demand that a hearty welcome awaits the settler, and yet it oorreotly states that, in spite of all these circumstances, not one-twen? tieth of the emigrants landing upon our shores go Southward. The Times says: "Assurances of the most friendly re? ception have been promulgated, and .spe? cial poins have been taken to awaken ia those who have arrived, a consciousness of welcome. All, comparatively, iu vain I A few Swiss have straggled into Tonnes see; German arrirals are heard of here and there ia South Carolina and Louisi? ana; a beginning hos been made toward a Poliah colony in the mountain region of Virginia, and there is some talk of expected English colonization in the South-west, and also in the tide-water region of the same State. But the real? ized results of not a little zealous exer? tion are insignificant. Of twenty emi? grants who land upon our shores, nine? teen go elsewhere than to the South." It then proceeds to oonsider "whence this marked preference for tho more re? mote West." In our judgment, our Now York cotemporary gives a satisfactory solution of the question. It finds the primary causo in the strength of the foreign-born element already in the West, and shows how the reports sent back to Europe by thc contented settler, have the effect of attracting his friends and relations at home to follow his foot? steps. As the Times suggests, the settler in Illinois, Iowa or Miunesota becomes an efieotivo promoter of emigration to the same looality, and the simple annals transmitted to the fatherland are more convincing than tho most plausible book. We think that the Times correctly re? gards these family and social influonc.es as amongst the strongest in determining the flow of emigration. Another cause, the Times observes, is "the familiarity which the emigrating classes in Europo have with the geography and advantages of the Western States." Our cotempo? rary soys: "While the South is there nu almost unknown land, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Kansas are familiar as house? hold words. The cost of emigration thither, the chances attending it, and the liberal provisions of the local laws, are tolerably well understood. Tho persis? tency with which the State authorities have exerted themselves to foster emi? gration, and the judicious help with which the emigrants have been mot on their arrival, are now turned to account by the mnnngers of land-grant railroad", whose prosperity is largely contingent upon success in attracting settlors from abroad. The Illinois Central has de? monstrated tho wonders tlflt may bo achieved ia this direction, and other railroad companies are profiting by its example. The Hannibal and St. Joseph Company is a powerful emigration agen? cy in behalf of Missouri; the St. Paul and Pacifio is carrying a stream of Ger? mans and Scandinavians into tho heart of Minnesota; the Kansas Pacific will aid Kansas similarly, and in a year or two wo shall have the Northern Pacifio peo? pling its magnificent belt of territory from tho higher latitudes of Europe." Another point is made by the Times, and this is equally well taken. It affirme that the West has this advantage over the South, viz: that the West botter un? derstands the art of organization. The Times says, on this point, that "it is or? ganized emigration which has contri? buted greatly to tho growth of Wiscon? sin and Iowa, and is to-day doing more than all beside to multiply settlements in Kansas." It then speaks of certain ad? vantages whioh the Wost has over thc South in tho control of largo bodies of public lands, and holds that tho South cannot compete with the West for thc largo bodies of emigrants which arc coming in from Europe. Wo have reproduced tho views of thc Times ou this subject of emigration, be? cause wo deem them, iu the main, very truo and very candid, and because thej rovcaltousof the South tho source ol our woakueBs and tho mcan3 of om strength. Tho South ma;/ not for a while bo enabled to compete fully with tho West. We believe she witt not. But still it is possiblo for tho South tc secure moro thau one-twentieth of the emigrants that como from Europo. Lot her imitate tho spirit and the moans em? ployed by tho West. Let her link direct trade with immigration. Let hei outer efficiently upon a practical plun, and wo aro satisfied that she will at leasl greatly improve her present prospects. < -???-?.-. COT IN Two.-Day boforo yesterday, r colored man named John Middleton, employed at Hodge's saw mill, near Sta? tion No. 20, South Carolina Railroad, was cut iu two by tho saw. no wa.' standing across tho log, and foll back wards against the saw. POLITICS IN SOUTH CAROLINA.-A cor? respondent of the New York Sun writes from Florence, S. C., under date of May 23: Tho disreputable Wbittemor? is very busy visiting the negroes in their cabins, eating and drinking with them, and otherwise successfully conducting the political campaigu, which will terminate probably with his re-election to Con? gress. Mrs. Whittomore is also active. Standing and campaigning for her hus? band on the platform of the railroad sta? tion in Darlington, she kisses the negro women whom she meets there, and tho dramatic effect is powerful. This lip 8orvico also helps Mrs. Whittemore's school along, where she generously teaohes the young negroes for twenty five oents a head per month. The pupils are very numerous, and the income which she accumulates is highly advantageous to herself and husband. ? ? ? UNITED STATES COURT.-Tho following business was disposed of in the Distriot Court, on Wednesday: In re Albert Wiohman, bankrupt.

Since tho 20th instant, tho following Trial Justices have been appointed: Dr. Charles Wit sell, Oconee County; John T. Henderson, Newberry County; Julius Mayer, Barn? well County. A FIRE rN THE BASEMENT.-Tho follow? ing letter, lately received by the Mayor of Indianapolis, indicates a belief on the part of the writer that h-1 isn't far from that place: MAY 15, 1870. Mayor of Indianapolis-DEAR SIR: I proposo to furnish all tho heat necessary to run all the manufacturing works, and to do all the heating of business houses and resident buildings in your city, from the fire within the earth, provided your citizens will pay a sufficient sum to do the work. The machinery willi cost about $150,000, and the labor $500,000, or thereabout. You may think this im? possible; but nothing is impossible. Tho fire is there. Address James H. Ryneraon, box 30, Clayton, Indiana. A servant girl, who was sent a day or two ago to a druggist in New York, with a request that he would give her some castor oil, "disguised as much as possi? ble," was asked by the druggist if she liked soda water, nnd replied in the affirmative. Tho druggist thereupon gave her a glass strongly flavored with lemon, with much castor oil upon the troubled water. Noticing that sho lin? gered after receiving this, the druggist inquired the cause, and was told that she was waiting for the oil. "Oh," replied the man of drugs, complacently, "you have taken that." The startled woman gazed at him in dismay a moment, and J then exclaimed, "Oh, murder, I wanted it for a man who is vory sick." THE DISASTER OF TUESDAY-ANOTHER DEATH.-Wednesday morning, tho co? lored man, named Jacob Nelson, who was fatally injured by tho falling o? tho wall in King street, Charleston, died ut his residenco. Mr. Joseph Culleton, tho young man who was injured at tho same time, liosin a precarious condition. Faint hopes of his recovery aro entertained. Tho verdict of tho jury was, "That the deceased came to his death by tho falling of a wall in tho building No. 211 King street, and that no blame is to be attach? ed to any ono in consequence." A correspondent of tho New York Herald, writing from St. Albans, on Sun? day last, says: Tho chieftaiu O'Neill is still in Burlington jail, and the chances for his obtaining tho requisito $20,000 bail aro oxcoedingly small. If, however, ho should bo given his lihorty, ho would faro hard if ho fell into tho hands of tho men whom ho so stupidly betrayed. Some of them, when leaving St. Albans last night, after cheering tho citizens hore, indulged in a song of the John Brown rofrain, with tho words of "Wo will hang General O'Neill to a sonrapplo troo, as wo go marolnug home." We learn that Hon. J. A. Orr, of Co? lumbus, Miss., has been appoiuted by tho Governor of Mississippi and con? firmed by tho Senate, as Judge of tho 7th Judicial Circuit of that State. Ho is a nativo of our town, and the youngest brother of Judge Orr, of this place. [Anderson Intelligencer. Col. W. S. Gresham, of Walhalla, is in Montana, "hunting for a homo." ANOTHER RADICAL SCHEME.-The naturalization bill introduced in the j United States Senate by Mr. Conkling, and no doubt to become a law of the land, is one of the most startling move? ments yet made in the direction of centralism. It ousts the State courts of ! jurisdiction in the premises, conferring [ exclusive power to issue naturalization certificates upon Federa1 courts and Federal registers in bankruptcy. The authority of State tribunals is steadily but rapidly reduced to a nonentity. The French regicide plot news is speedily followed by rumors of a plot to assassinate tho Pope. Tho design is said to have been "to throw a bomb at his carriage, blowing him in the air, toge gether with tho two cardinals in attend? ance, at the same moment springing mines under the barracks of Cimarra, Ravenna and St. Agatha, near the Vatican." A fatal duel occurred in Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana, Monday of last week. George F. Beiden, a brother of the At? torney-General of the State, was shot and killed in a duel by the editor of the Ilouma Eagle. The quarrel originated between the representatives of tho Pa? triot and Eagle. The editor of the Patrol refusing, Beiden accepted the challenge and took his quarrel, and was killed. Washington correspondents say Whit temore threatens when he gets a sent again in tho House to make war'upon many of tho members who wore promi? nent in his expulsion. He says that he qj\n prove that some of these gentlemen are ns bad as he ever was. Actual famine exists among tho poorer classes in tho Counties of Appomntox, Prince Edward and Nottoway, Va., whioh were ruthlessly sacked by Grant's army iu 1865, from tho effects of which even the richest citizens have never re? covered. Tho editor of tho Hancock {Ky.) Messenger, in a farewell address in his expiring journal, regrets that ho "has not bad the pleasure of writing the obituary of several of the miserable skinflints of the town." This is tho bitterness of impecuniosity. RAIN.-For a week there have been copious showers, doing much injury to bottom lands, washing off crops, carry? ing away the soil, and in some instances causing heavy deposits of sand on lands in tho low grounds heretofore cultivable. [Greenville Mountaineer. RT. REV. BISHOP LXNCII, D.D., LL.D.

TnE RICHMOND SUFFERERS.-The fol? lowing acknowledgment was received, yesterday, by the committee in this city who had chargo of the Richmond fund: RICHMOND, May 27, 1870. Messrs. C. H. Manson, L. D.

For this generous donation in behalf of tho sufferers nnd the committee, I return you our warmest thanks. There aro on our books 170 injured receiving beuefit from the fund. Respectfully yours, Sec., J. DAVENPORT, JR., Treasurer. NEW BOOKS.-Messrs. Duffie & Chap? man have furnished us with a copy of Harper's "Library of Select Novels," No. 338- "Beneath the Wheels." a ro? mance, by tho author of "Olive Varcoe," "Simplo as a Dove," etc. Price 50 cents. Wo cannot commend this work. Not a single beam of hope's sun-shine flits across tho path of its unhappy charac? ters, from the time they commenco to persistently misunderstand eaoh other in tho first page, until they reach their mournful fates upon the last. It reads moro liko the morbid visions of a con? valescing lunatic, than an honest at? tempt at fiction. As for the characters, nothing so utterly incomprehensive oi unnatural ever lived or over could live in any time or place. The men, particu? larly, are puppets, destitute of mind, feelings and tastes, from Lord Crehils, a titled idiot, Michael Peelew, a fright ful example of depravity and biliousness. The heroine, Madeline Singleton, arounc whose efforts in vindicating the fair fame of her family all the other puppets re volve, is a frightful creature. The plot of tho story turns upon the murder o: Miss Madeline's father, who certainly ought to have been murdered, from th< description given of him. To sum up howevor, tho author has endeavored t( out-sensationalizo Miss Braddon, withou tho force or vigor of that writer, and hai made up for it with a painfulness of de tail which tests the limits of forbearance Mossrs. Bryan Sc McCarter have laic on our desk a now work, just issued ty the Harper's-"Miss Van Kortland.' The author of "My Daughter Elinor' has tried the dangerous experiment of i seoond book-with somewhat questiona bio success. The faults of "Miss Val Kortland" aro even more prominent thai were thoso of hor older sister. Too grea a disposition to caricature, and an ap parent inability to grasp tho,finor shade of thought and motive which difieren tiato character, aro grave defects in i novelist, and theso are very evident ii tho book. It is cloverly but unequal]; written. In spito of all this, howover there is power in the book-power o dialogue, of passion and of purpose A now edition of Grace Aguilar' works hos just been issued by Messrs D. Appleton Sc Co., at 81 per volume illustrated and bound in cloth. Messrs Bryan Sc McCarter havo presented u with tho two first: "Homo Influenco," talo for mothers and daughters; "Tb Mother's Recompense," a sequel t "Homo Influenco." Tho works of thi tnlonted Jowish authoress aro peruse^ with plcasuro by all classes. A compc tent writer says of her: "Grace Aguilar belonged to tho schoc of which Maria Edgeworth was tho fonn dress." "What a fetilo mind was that of Grac Aguilar! What an early development o reflection, of feeling, of taste, of power of invention, of truo and earnest clo queued "Grace Aguilar know the femalo hear better than any writer of tho day, am in overy fiction from her pen wo trac tho samo masterly analysis and develop mont of tho motives and feelings of wo man's nature." In thc preface to "Homo Influouco,' tho authoress says: "Loaving tho beaton track of work writtou for thc young, tho author's ain has been to assist in tho education of th heart-behoving that of infinitely groote importanco than tho mere instruction o tho mind; for tho bright awakening o tho latter depends far moro on tho happ; influences of tho former than is general ly supposed." Theso books aro neatly bound, am aro furnished at a very reasonable price TOWNSHIP MEETTNO.-Attention is called to a meeting to be held at the Court Hoose, on Saturday next, to ap? point four delegates to ropresent tbiB Township in the County meeting to be held on June 6th, to select delegates to represent Richland in the June Conven? tion. # CKUMBS.-We read arnon cr the fashion reports of a new thing-the "satchet, or perfumed peticoat."

We acknowledge an invitation to be present nt tho final celebration of the Clario8ophic Society of the South Caro? lina University, on Thursday evening, June 28, at 8 o'clock, on which occasion Mr. John T. Seibels, of Columbia, will deliver the valedictory address. Commissioner Delano haB decided that dealers in prize condy aro subject to tho samo internal revenue tax as gift enter? prises, viz; $150 per annum. The roller skating rink, at the Nicker son House Hall, is to be inaugurated this afternoon, and we bespeak a vast amount of sport for participants as well as look? ers-on. It is a particularly pleasant and beautiful recreation-so pronounced by thoso who know. The gentlemen whose names appear on tho list presented by Mr. Manning, on Wednesday evening last, will please at? tend a muetingat Independent Hall, this (Friday) evening, at 8 o'clock. Mr. Shiver advertisos another lot of fresh and seasonable goods this morning. His proposition to buyers from abroad appears to be very liberal, and the in? ducements offered are worth looking after. Owing to tho difficulty relative to the cotton weighers, the cotton market is completely stagnant-hardly a bale being offered for sale. It is hoped the matter will be satisfactorily adjusted in a very short time, as the entire business of the community is affected, c Mr. Pollock extends an invitation to his patrons and the citizens generally, to partake of turtle soup to-day, from 12 until 2, at the Pollock House. We find W. R. Robertson, Esq., of Fairfield, nominated in the Neics for the next Legislature. Tho indications are that the State will be fully represented in the approaching June Convention. About twenty-four Counties havo already arranged for re? presentation. Tho first case under the civil rights bill came up yesterday. An employee of the Pollock House deolined to furnish two "fifteenth amendments" with lager; whereupon, he was summoned before Magistrate Nash, and forced to give bond for his appearance at Court. Messrs. Poysinger & Franklin have some tip-top cider on hand, which they will disposo of by tho bottle or glass. It is warranted pure; and in these warm days will provo very refreshing.
