This enterprise has been inaugurated for the purpose of introducing into our State white settlers, by whom our country will be built up and enriched/ * The scheme may 6cera to be opeu to certain objections on the part of those whose conscientious scruples do not admit of then- embarking in the enterprise. It is catted a "lottery," and deemed nothing more than a risk staked npon the issue of a game of cards:But all admit the advantages to be derived from the introduction of white immigrants, and Ibis scheme is the ouly practicable one as yet devised. It seems to us that .taking stock in this enterprise is no more oensnrable than in any other, and the only objection that cah be urged is that the investment may yield a rotnrn disproportionate to the amount invest-' ed." But the same argument can bo made in reference to any other untried investment. The gentlemen who recommend the scheme, are of the most unimpeachable integrity, and their recommendation is unqualified. The manner of conducting the drawing is simple and perfectly fair, and since the object is so commendable, we cannot withhold our indorsement: ; By'reference to our advertising columns, it will be seen that JoriN KersCtAW, Esq., has accepted the agency for this county, and is prepared to answer all questions concerning the matter. - '? . LETTER FROM GEN. BUTLER. The Immigration Scheme. Mr. Editor : Having received a number of letters from frieuds in different parts of the country, making enquiries into, the details and objectof our scheme in aid of immigration into South Carolina, I propose, with your permission, as briefly as possible, to aoawet; them through the medium of your columns. ? In the first place, experience has shown that indie ideah have not succeded in bringing in immigrants to any extent. In the second place, efforts have been.. hithprto directed to procure more laborers, and not to introducing actual settlors to become owners -C ?*!f rtii. nn*?n(a.ie Kir TllOnna nf ATI "lit tllC DUlli j^UV ^vv.^ w, ?? association thoroughly organized and well managed, to obtain large tracts of land and establish at least four polonies in- the Eastern, Middle and Northern portions of the State respectively.' Our effort will be by locating the colonies in healthy districts, by selling small farms to actual settlers .at low prices, and on long credits, and by using our .personal influence to have colonists assisted and kindiy treated by their neighbors; to make these settlements the nucleus of a prosperous and ever increasing immigrant population, who, in their turn, will add to the wealth and secure the prosperity of the State. If wo can succeed in this, the problem of increasing the population of South Carolina, and, indeed, of the whole South, to any extent, is solved. Wo have vast areas of land capable of very high and remunerative cultivation that are now lying w^pto, and arc but so much dead capital. They need to be divided, and diversified industry should be substituted for the dcstruciive system of the last few years. We need a more intelligent, self-reliant, thrifty laboring population, who will produce more of the necessaries of life, and less of-the staple crops. Cotton is the best market crop that we have, bnt should oply'b# made after an ample supply of provisions for home consumption. But, .to return from this digression. To accomplish: our ends as above set forth, we must have capital. To make anything like, a beginning from which practical results can be hoped for will require ?20,000. This amount we hope to realize from this scheme. It tnay be asked, "How ?" I will indicate, "We propose to sell 150,000 tickets at So each, making.$750,000. Of this amount we will give in prizes $500,000, in manner as set forth in the list, the prizes being 2,405 in liumber, to be drawn for in the usual way. Of t^Q remaining $250,000, after the expenses ar? deducted, we are pledged to give $10,000 to the State Agricultural and Mechanical Society, under whose auspices we. are proceeding, and every cent'of the balance to the introduction of immigrants. That is the whole story. - It is proper for me to add that Mr. Chadwick has, with great liberality, *" ' U -i * \ . J " # . * r" ' .

South, and cordially supported by the people wherever an office ha3 been opened, we can introduce into South Carolina, in the course of twelve- or eighteen months, several largo colonies of actual settlers, place the State on the road to prosperity and material development, and ultimately with her prosperity reap for ourselves a handsome roward, pecuniary and otherwise, for our tine and lubor. We are now having prepared, at great trouble and expense, a pamphlet with illustrations and maps, setting forth the! advantages of South Carolina, her agricultural and mineral resources, her incomparable water, power, her genial climate, valuable products, &c., &c.; in short, all such information -jus will be required by the immigrant. The book "will": be distributed throughout those portions of the North and Europe from which we are likely to obtain immigrants, and will of itself be worth to the Stato\-of South Carolina}more than tho amoant of money which our people arc iikely to invest in our scheme. - > This lunch, Mt.

C. Butler. New Yorkt June 17,1871FOR THE JOURNAL. To tlao Friorids of Temperance! . A length of time has elapsed since an organization has existed in this community to raise its voice against the destructive Jnflu-' ence of strong "drink. Many have mourned, over the desolation caused by the frequent exhibitions of the foul monster, blastiug the a1 i* ^ .? i i t? < i r* iona parents uopes, ana mailing tuc wiie and children to weep." "We call upon all who are filling' to use their influence to stay the onward progress of the insatiate destroyer, to meet and organize a Division of the Sons of Temperance.

" How brightly breaks the Morning." Under this hopeful heading the New York News thus gives expression to the buoyant .feelings with which it Jlooks to the future of the Democracy. It says: *" One by one the barriers to Democratic success are being removed. One by one weak defences of the Rqpublican party yield to the vigorous onward movement of the oarty of the people. Day by day revelations of unfaithfulness to given pledges arc discovered; and, not singly and in pairs, but by scores and hundreds, honest Republicans are severing the ties which, for years past, have been recognized as sacred ana binding. The Democracy, true to its law-abiding principles, have entered u^on the contest for n.? factious purpose. Prom the North and the South, the East and the }Vcst, come the welcome asshrance that, whatever may have been their opinions in regard to certain laws enacted by Congress, their boundcu duty now is to accept them as they stand on ihe statute books of the nation and abide their time. It is this fact that causes such anxiety to the souls of Republican leaders. They were laying to their hearts the flattering unction that the campaign would open on thp part of the Democrats with declarations of open hostility, and appeals to the worst pas- ; sions of the people. But in this case they reckon without their host. They fail to discover anywhere any evidences of a disposifl/Mi in .1! ] MM. - vivrn w ovu ii^ouuwui 1UUUW UlBUUfU. J. I1U I resolutions of the Ohjo Convention, coupled with^thosc of the Democracy of Pennsylva- ( nia at their" late convention, followed by those of Tennessee and others of equal significance and importance, have completely disarmed our opponents. A flank movement has been executed, which has resulted in the thorough demoralization of the enemy. They are amazed, and in their desperation raise a feeble shout of ^hat they would have us regard as exultation, bocausc the Democrats have accopted the situation, havo buried dead issues, and though our opponents are not just willing to credit this, are 'going to fight the devil with fire.' Everywhere, it is now plain, the Democracy are marching to victory. The platforms adopted by the recent State conventions are singularly harmonious. The contest is to be an aggressive one on the part of the Democracy. They have all the vantage groutid, and they should not fritter away, their opportunity. But to accomplish Victory there must be continuous, energetic work and unceasing vigil- anco. This is no tixno for halting or hesitar-i. . t- 4 * . *"v - . ** . J . # ? ,A tifcg.

Cotton speculators are buBily at work fixing up the market for the incoming crop.? Alreauy-|.wffldia^e been informed just how largo ^thS-cr^p is to be, how much i^ill be produced*,by tire several States, and the average price^per pound that may be expected. This, jobbing -itvperspective is one-of the features of Reding that Jias been going on fur vears* Cbtton. shajrperfcwho hove access to the public ^ournalsy prepare their statements with skill and care, knowing just how to work to play upon the credulity of the unsuspecting V. ' >v neatney acsire w mane tneir pucp upon the fall of cotton, they begin by working the planters up to the belief that ah unpsual demand will exist during a ccrtai$ season. The crop in India has failed, or ih? unoxpeoted demand for cotton fabrics* has so drained the market that it will be necessary to produce a much larger crop the next season than was produced the last. Jfo gpve some show of plausibility to these statements they bull the market late in the seajy# when there brittle cotton to sell, andig^Buip the price to a high standard, in orefer1IVtnduce tha planters ?to plant largely. * Tnte being done, the sharpers have secured the end they sought. A large crop is Raised, and the deluded planter finds, when it is too late, that he has planted cotton to enrich speculators. When the time for Belling comes, the extraordinary demand predicted early in. the sea son does not exist. Cotton goes down, down, down, "until it has reached a point, where sharpers will buy, and there it hangs'solong as they desire. What is passing strange to a close' observer, is the fact, that notwith ding past experience, planters go right on, from year to year, plauting this ou^ crop, and losing money the whole time. The cotton market is not unlike the stock market, controlled by interested speculators. The price of the .staple is not regulSted by the law of supply and demand, for both of these arc made .fictitious whenever ft suits speculators to make them so. They jugate a surplus or scarcity whenever thpir interests arc best subserved. - The people of theSouth should turn their attention to the production of more than one crop,.so that in the event of a failure of any one, they are not deft, as it were, almost destitute. If cotton fcils fintwo years' wv succession, thousands of. planters jIll over the South arc completely ruined The failure of a single crop often leaves farmers destitute. ,?. . ;i;v The great desire to make money. fast has carried many a farmer to ruin, whilb those content with a moderate income havO gradually gone on from year to year, judiftiously husbanding their resources, cultivating the soil upon modern principles, and have been able at the end of a lew years to secure a Competence for their families. The cotton gamblers arc the worst of all gamblors, for they not only induce th<*plnnters to work for the hope of great gain, but they also prevent them from securing a living for those dependent upon thorn.-; They work in hundreds of ways to iuduccthc planters to plant largely of cotton." Drummers from the various mercantile houses of the North often kill two birds with one stone.? While out on their business tours, they do not fail to talk cotton in the country districts through which they pass. They sell their goods to the merchants, and at the same time put in a word from the cotton jobbers and speculators. A few. sentences used in an off-hand manner by these men in the country villages, afford food for conversation and reflection among the people for weeks, and many a planter has been induced to plant more largely of cotton from the golden prospects lield out by these gamblers. There is no doubt at all of a well organized system of cotton jobbing. It is a risky and hazardous undertaking to ' handle cotton." Men who formerly dealt in this staple, and who flattered themselves tiiat they'knew the outs nnrl ins fit its nin.ninnl.ifin>> nnw fiml flintr?_ selves swamped before they are aware of their danger. It is not unlike the coal speculation iu all its bearings. Three-fourths of all the profits of the cotton raised in the South finds its way into pockets of speculators in New York and other financial centres.?Daily Union. Organization op a Colored Conference.?There was a meeting of the colored ministers belonging to the 5J. E. Church of Wirginia and North Carolina at Enfield last week for the purpose of organizing a Conference in two States under the General Colored Conforcnoo of America organized last December.- This is an independent work that has been set apart by the M. E. Conference South with a view of giving the blacks a church of their own, with their own State and general conferences, and with their own bishops, in order that they may regulate tiioir own government. The two bishops have adopt-cd the workings of the 51. E. Conference South arf thcirguidance, and they are going foiward earnestly in their work. Tbo Church government has nothing pertaining to politics in it. Bislwp Miles (colored) met Bishop Pierce rnd the Rev. Mr. Burton at Enfield, and under Ms management, with the assistance of those gentlemen, all necessary primary steps were taken for tho organization of the Conference for these two States. All the membership of the two, consisting of some 1,900 persons, together with all the church property belonging to them, were formally transferred to Bishop Miles, and i.ho Conference adjourned to meet in Petersburg, Va., on the 13th of December next, for tho purpose of thorough organization.? Wchlon News. The Case op C .C. Bowen.?A special despatch to the New York Tribune, dated Washington, June 19, says: "Ex-Congressman Bowcn, convicted of bigamy, and sentenced to two years'imprisonm.ent, is still confined in the County jail bore. He does not suffer much from the rigors of confinement, the building, and allowed the r l j.v._ i TT? jrueuum ui mu j*m uuu tuo ^muuun. nu id furnished with meals from his own home, and is daily visited by numbers of friends. It is the general belief that he will be speedily pardoned by tho President. The case was favorably considered in tho Cabinet meeting on Friday, and the District Attorney has recommended the pardon. Tho papers are in the hands ofthe Attorney-General, and be will forwarded to the President tomorrow. The friends of Mr. Bowen express the positive belief that he will got his seat in Congrees from the Second District of South Carolina/over DeLarge, (colored,) the sitting r meinbet, who was declared elected 'tfy 4$ majority. His friends also Bay -that threi Managers of elections, in a County where De Large was given by them a majority of 5,000 thaving been tried Upon an.-.indictment fo fraud and convicted, there can be no.fprthe difficulty. Tliey also say that the' wholcsal Btuffing of the ballot-box of the election wa proven beyond a doubt, and that still othe evidence remains; also, that other manager are now.on trial for the same offence, witl strong likelihood of conviction, which wi) gO to make DeLarge's election invalid.?

Sherman was "moving Nqrthward wit) the sun," in February, 1865, preached most interesting discourso at thc Methodis Church, in this city, last Sundays and, w are pleased to learn, received about $75 fo the sacred object of his mission. We trus this amount wilL be doubled, if not trebled before Mr. Martin leaves Frankfort. Frankfort (Ay.) Yeoman. ' Grant's Prospects.?A Washingtoi letter in the Baltimore Sun says: "Whatever may be the appearances on th surface, it is not at all likely that Genera Grant will be re-nominated- by the Kepubli cans.. The delegation in the National Cori vention from the State of New York wil doubtless exercise a controlling influence ii that body, and it is not probable that tha delegation will be for Gen. Grant. On thi contrary, those who know best, conjectur* that no matter whether it be the Grecly am Fenton wing, or that of Conkling and Mur phy, in either case, it will not ultimately bt for Grant. It is much more likely, in tin latter event, to be for Seward or some nev mau.j. . . ; v Things in Utah.?>Ir. James Brooks of the New York Erpre.??, who is making ai overland trip to the Pacifio, and writiri^ ac counts of scenes'and incidents to bis pape: gives an interesting description of his visi to Utah, and of the saints and saintcsse with whom ho attended worship in the tern pic. He says: The women are neither pretty nor fash ronable. Occasionally there is seen a co quettish cap, nick-named a bonnet; silks, i: not satins also intrude; but the great'inas) of the women bring their hats and their robe* from their mothers and great grandmothers and the result is a head gear representativ* of Sweede, of Scot, of Celt, of Yankee, tin patterns, perhaps of ten generations behind with scoots of Quaker formation and umbrcl hs of Italian conception. Mr. Brooks hat tho satifaction of hearing a sermon frou Brigliam, who is described as a good lookin; man, now of seventy years, resembling mucl Tom "Benton, the Missouri senator in his lat ter days. Mr. Brooks speaks of him as j man of all sorts of ability, whether as preach er, prophet, governor, banker, farmer ant railroad builder, but it- appears, he is no much longer to have undisputed religion! dominion. The Episcopalians have plantet a church in his capital. The Roman Catho lies aro already there. "The Methodists ari about to invade Utah with one of their pro digious camp meetings, assembling Method ists there from Missouri, at Omaha, to Sai Francisco, on tho Pacific. They threaten t capture Brighain with all his hosts. Brig ham, generously or tauntingly, offered then ? his huge tabernacle, holding 113,000 persons with its galleries", now, and the big organ porhnps the biggest in the World, to b thrown in, for their great lovcfenBt: but the declined the taint or the taunt, and the; turn up in tents, in the open fields, undo the cloudless eky. The grasshoppers, whicl have hitherto been greater enemies to th Mormons than tho Gentiles, are being de vourcd by the gulls, so that Utah is like] to be freed from the pest. A Larue *governmfnt Claim Sei tled.?For some unknown reason, says th Savannah Advertiser of the 21st, the paper * have neglected to make public the recen settlement of the cotton.claims of Messrs. 1 II. and J. G. Mills by tho Court of Claims a Washington. The Court awarded the sui of S131,00U to Messrs. Mills as a return fo the cotton belonging to them, which wa seized in common with a large amount of th staple during Sherman's occupancy of Savan nab. The sum above mentioned has bcei paid over to tho claimants. The KuJClux Committee.?Says th Washington Patriot, of Thursday last: The Ku Klux Committee were inscssio: yesterday, and examined tho United State District Attorney and the ex-Auditor o South Carolina. The testimony of the* gentlemen was unfavorable to the success o the Ku Klux investigation, inasmuch as i . _.i? /?. .1 X _/?xl__ gave a very sansiaciory account 01 mo cor dition of social affairs in that State. Since the Texas Agricultural Society in vitcd Horace Greeley to deliver their annua address, and the Kentuckcy Agriculture Society gave a similar invitation to Hcnf Ward licecher, why should not this sort o Compliment bo reciprocated by somo of th< agricultural societies af our northern State* which mign? invite Jeff.
