Besides, we have the benefit of an institution,' which will be appreciated and understood as purely benevolent, which will be trusted and believed in, and will therefore be more effici^mt in its operations than any agency for profit. Those of our people that sent for laborers last season through-thejigcncies have had to pay 25 of 30 dollars a head, and have not been well served either. And then : again, every immigrant will besubject to our capitation tax, if we lay any, to our school tax, road tax, &c., being exempted'only from-the land tax .to a limited extent. And in regard to the-contribution demanded for their | schools, where they form a community, the -improved value of property where such communities shall locate will be such that' the taxes therefrom will cover the expense, and b.esides, the State?without fail?will have to make such liberal school appropriations for all her pec pie, if she will give all her children a fair chance in the race for prosperity. The committee have already expressed the conviction that private emigrant agencies arc rather to be deprecated than favof^J, and in this -opinion they have been strengthenedby the views of the benevolent ana welb

The Internal Revenue Report. ?Mr. Rollins,the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, reports that the amount received by him in 1866, less amounts refunded for the drawbacks, n $310,381,140,04, being ninety-nine millions and an odd beyond thereceipts . of 1&65.

preventing, hy liis own unwillingness, to sell, the increase of resources and population. From 1850 to 1860, the population of the United States increased thirty five pw cent. But the North and West increased at a much larger rate than the South because the latter only received seven per cent, of the immigration, while the North and West received ninety three per cent. A number of imigratioh agencies exist in the North, and a multitude of associations have already been formed to encourage immigration to the South. Thus far these have been failures, because the immigrants were of the wrong kind and wrongly received. Governor OitR in his reply to the circular of the German Society of New York, promises, that "if you can bring German artisans and mechanics here through your association, you will be rendering them an essential service, and be assured that we will receive them, as well as all other immigrants, whether farmers or laborers, with a joyous and cordial welcome." Can this be promised without organization? A letter from Brunswick, in Germany, states: "From the little town of Ilcrrcnburg, in Wurtembcvg, which numbers 011 Iv 2418 jph;,lhit-.intfe--k?frtTTcTasUyear 47 persons, taking with

South Carolina has invested in real and personal cstatc489,310,128 dollars. New Jersey has 1,944,445 acres of land in cultivation, South Carolina'4,572,060 acres. New Jersey has a comparatively poor and rocky soil, South Cavolinf a soil and climate capable of producing almost ^11 the most valuable productions of the.world. New Jersey bad a cash income of 60,941, 4-35 dollars in 1860. Deduct therefrom the interest on her invested capital of 296,682,492, dollars, at seven per cent., say 20,767,77-3 dollars, leaves her a pr-ofit of 40,173,662.? Deduct from this, however the customary 33;'j- per cent, as the cost of her manufactured materials in agricultural implements, engines and machinery, manufactured clothing, flour and meal, cotton fabrics, woolen fabrics boots andv shoes, India rubber goods, furniture and jewelry, say 7, 981,296 dollars, will leave her a clear profit over the regular interest of seven per cent. already calculated of 32, 192,866 dollars !

cnt, in a position to.torm a judgment of the attractions "vvliicli South Carolina offers to European laborers.? There is an impression here that the former cultivators of the soil arc still, to a large extent, available, if properly treated and fairly remunerated, and European laborers will not like the idea of coming into' competition with the frccdmcn as laborers. "Referring to the position of Irish ,emigrants, I may say that some, by no means a large proportion, arc possessed of moderate means, and emigrate with a view of settling in Western lands, but the great majority are laborers, ready to take employment wherever they can best procure it." Your committee have endeavored to ascertain the views and measures of our sister States in regard to immigration. Although most of them have seen and partly appreciated the great value of immigration, their laws i have simply consulted .their own im-1 mediate interest, without caring much | for that of the immigrant. Whilst some ) of them have appointed agents and ! commissioners to hold forth their ad-1 vantages in cheap lands, favorable climate, variety of productions, bene -

These offices should be under the control or supervision of prominent disinterested men, or still better, might be connected with private benevolent societies established expressly for the purpose of advising, assisting and protecting immigrants. Wherever there arc. respectable citizens of German origin, they should be urged to establish such societies. * * * As soon as we .have been informed of the establishment of such offices as here recommended, and have been notified by them what kind of laborers arc required, and on what terms they can find employment, we will influence the right kind of emigration to those localities which desire it. * * * In reply to many inquiries and offers in regard to taking a more ac ? n tivc participation in the business of engaging emigrants, I would say, that as a purely benevolent., institution, without any pecuniary object in view, the German Society cannot act as an?agent for any person or association making a business of emigration, nor can it buy or sell lands, or cmnlov mercenary parties as agents.

Her investedcapital amounted to 480,310,128 dollars, the interest of which at seven per cent, a mounted to 34,252,338 dollars, which leaves her a profit over the regular interest of seven per cent, of only 15 788.248cioltnfs. Her slaves having, however, been included inher capital, say 200,000,000, their increase should'bc added to h'er profits, say -I per cent.; being 5,000,000 dollars making, therefore aggregate profits over the usual interest 20,733,248 dollars, or 11,450, 118 dollarsless than New Jersey. Supposing South Carolina was to sell, her 45,720 farms, of 100 acres, each, at five dollars per'acre, and was to invest the proceeds thereof, $32,800,000 in factories, her income, proportioning it by that of New Jersey, would be increased by about nine and a half millions of dollars, manufacturing profits, besides the proportionate increase in her resources by the results of such a number of cultivated farms.

It is not to bo presumed that this thing can be accomplished in a day nor a year, but it is possible in time, and it is never too soon to initiate measures to lay the corner stone of such a realization at a future day.? In Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia, a number of cotton factories are in the course of construction. Let ns sell our surplus lands, and invariably invest the proceeds in shares in manufacturing companies. Let them be formed in every district, in every eligible position on this principle, the results will be a source of joy and Astonishment to every true hearted Carolinian. South Carolina must wake up toher true interest, and whoever among her patriots does the most to rouse her energies, deserve best of "generations tinhorn," Let stay laws be ever so popular now, their effect and their good if any, is only transient, and the day is, therefore not distant, when lie, who has dared to
