Items of Intelligence from the Other
World.
m Thbrc is something now under-: he sun ; that is,
under tho Southern sun. And this is a paper de
voted to the interests of spiritualism. It is pub

Epoch;" HlRRT J. OSBORNE, Editor and Proprie
tor; Miss Lr ni A H. Baven, Associate and Medi
um ; to be issued monthly; terms-$2.00 per an
num in advance The 5th number of this paper
is before u-, and truly it is a strm ?o affair. Wc
do not understand it. We bopo tho " Impending
Epoch" u not going to endeavor to introduce into
the South the clairvoyance, and tbc biology, and
the spiritual hammerology, and the transcendental
humbug, which are now so horribly rife nt tho
North.
But wo would not be discourteous; indcod we
would not Por, as we haro said, we do not un
derstand much that we read ia flic Epoch. In its
columrs wo Cnd a ?cries of "communications"
from tho spirit of Abraham Lincoln to Mus Ba

lament -d" Abraham to bo in a better and holier
frame uf mind than when he issued his emancipa

Thc paper is upon our table, ar. 1 is well worth

Damage to Railroads.
We leirn from tho Chronicle ii- Sentinel of the

nessee hare been seriously injured by tbe raia and
freshets-uf thc past week. No trains had arrived
at Chattanooga or Dalton since Wednesday last,
and then was no telegraphic communication.
The Commander? Appointed for the
Military Districts of the South.
If there be anything which could reconcile thc
people of the South to the military sway contem
plated in the act lately passod by Congress, (says
tho Char tston Mercury,) it is the appointment of
the officors named in our telegraphic columns this
morning. Generals Meade, Shoriaan, Hancock,
McDowell and Schofield are likely to giv-o us mild
governments, free from unnecessary oppression,
tyranny, spoliation, and disturbance.
These appointments, together with tho decision
of the Radical caucus to adjourn the disturbing
element ;f Congress until tho 8th* of May, arc
J very encouraging to the business of the country.
Tho efi-iet may be already seen in the fall ot'
gold in New York.
Death of Artemas' Ward.
The Chronicle <t- Sentinel, ef Sunday, says :
"CHAULES F. BROWN, betiur known os ATtemus

received vith universal regret. Few humorists of
this or any previous age possessed and exhibited,
in writing and speaking, more amusing and comic
drollery. There was a " muehnoss" about him
which rendered his sayings exceedingly fanny,
and, howeror much his perversion of the mother
tongue rui{ht bo ceneUrod, his original and pecu

Those of i ur readers who saw his 1 i ttl o show and

Concerning Foreign Immigration.
Ai the last session ot tho Legislature, an
was passed establishing a Bureau of Immigrai
for South Carolina. Jou.v A. WACKIER, Esq
member of the Legislature and a .distingu?s
citizen of Cbarlctton has boen appointed to
head of this Bureau. Mr. WAoEXSB is, we tbi
a native German ; if not, he is of German pat
tage, and thoroughly conversant with the Gen
language. In another column will be found
official curd. Upon? reading this card, our fara
and planters will see thc necessity of taking sc
such steps as were suggested by us a short t:
ago ; that is if foreign labor is wanted in this I
of the eountry. The Commissioner calls for
formation as to the kind of labor required,
wages. that will be paid, a description of
lauds for sale or lease, terms, conditions, ?c.,
Ho recommends combination among tho plant?
as their joint action would facilitate .operatic
Wo suggest that an Association be formed for
District, with proper officers ; and that' hooks
kept, in which a record of all lands for sah
lease to immigrants may ho made and exhibit
Also the names of those who want labor, tho i
ges to tho be paid, kc. Such nn arrangeai
would give system to tho wboleaffair, and ren
the work of procuring labor a comparatively e
matter.
Put net your trust in negro labor; but be
in timo to look to albor sources for tho necessi
??news for agricultural indepondenco in the futt
Kow is thc time to more. Wo have not a day
loso. I
We sro delighted to see this effort on the p
of our Legislature to encourage immigration
South Carolina. Now that slavery no longer i
ists it has becomo a necessity to break Mp e
abandon, in a great degree, the largi plant?t'
system which has hitherto prevailed among
It seems to us that tho best interests of our \.
plo require the carly and uniform adoption
this policy. There ure many and obvious advi
tagos that would ariso from tho substitution
small farms for those large landed estates whi
have Eo long existed in the South under the ?
stitution of slavery. One of theso advantage?
and tho groatest perhaps-would be the iroproi
mont of our system of husbandry. Herctofc
our agriculture has been conducted on a plan tl
yielded tho very minimum of profits for t
amount of capital inrestod.
Wo question if the average profits of ogrici
tural industry in this country are much, if at a
greater than in the worst cultivated districts
France and Spain-districts in which tho systc
of agriculture is fully one hundred years behii
tho times. We have, in former days, suffer
ourselves to be blindod by our heavy cxportatio
of Cotton, rice, kc, forgetting that these ero
wero consumed in the payment of Northern debt
and that wo were all the whilo growing poor?
when comparod with other sections of the Unio
Tho late war very clearly developed our relatif
pocuniary weakness. The largo plantation sj
tem is one principal reason, we fear, why tl
South, despite its advantages of soil and climat
is behind the other sections of the Union in pop'
hui on and industrial enterprises.
South Carolina has suffered moro from tb
cause than perhaps any other Southorn Stat
Her rich people would bo satisfied with nothii
but immense plantations swarming with nogi
laborers. Georgia as carly as 1S30, distribute
by lottery many thousands of forty acre lots ; an
the consequence is soon in tho relative growth i
population > tho two States. In 1700, Sout
Carolina had double tho population of Georgi;
but now the figures are reversed Georgia has
white and colored population of one and a quart?
millions, while South Carolina bas perhaps 700
OOO, of which moro than one half are eolorod.
We urge therefore tho speedy inauguration c
some policy that will encourago the uiultiplicn
tion of small farma. Certainly tbcro cun be n
doubt that land owners will find it moro advants
geous to lease their lands for a term of years tba
to let thom lie vacant and uncultivated.
And if, in addition to this, wo so shapo ou
future legislation as to oncourage, still mor
strongly, immigration from Europe, we shall vcr;
soon attain to a prosperity nnd a renown whicl
was perhaps impossiblo undor the old regime.
