Tb Chattanooga Tradesman is not "far wrong when it gives otter ance to the following views coa cerpipg. this most important ques tioQ ; One of the live" subjects of a material, as well as social bearing nor agitated invtbe South is- the systematic encouragement of immi gration. . .Several leading citizeus of thja section some, two months ago roet- at Montgomery. Ala., and organized a Southern Immigration Bureau, the Derations of which are expected to be of great beneht in promoting the bringing in of new and good citizens and additional capital and enterprise. This, The Tradesnian thinks, is well in its way. and as far as it gos, but the section in our judgment needs something more, somthing with official back ing of the State behind it and more permanent tnan voluntary private association. Tbere ought to be ar ranged a perpetual immigration con greas with branches in every State west of the Appalachian range and south ot the Ohio. This body might cansist of four members selected bv the governor of eaeh State from each f the congress districts, and four from the State at large. Thin would make the body consist of 304 members, none too large when the natural number ot absentees should be deducted, being about one-third probably one-half, so tbel assembly would be from 150 "to 200. This congress should work under general rules, leaving the branches in the various States" to look after their several localties. The branch in Tennessee would consist of 44 mem bers, that of Mississippi of 28, Ar- kansaa 24 and so on. 'If it be objected that'such bodies forming one great central represen tative congress and meeting yearly could not be maintained as a volun tary affair, we reply by pointing to the National bcience Association State and national medical bo dies, the National Bankers' Asso ciativa and score more like bodies, that are sustained by voluntary effort and have been of great, in estimable value in their various de partments of social; scientific, finan cial and reformatory endeavor. bureiy ine soutnern people are sufficiently alive to the vital im portance of immigration to do as much lor tnemselyes as the scientists bankers, prison reformers or doctors will do to forward improved conai tions f the unfortunate, to advance discovery, or improve the methods of business. One hundred thousand immigrants brought to the South in a year, means, if they are the right Kina, an aaaumn i not lew tnan $100,000,000 to Southern capital, anal $200,000,000 yearly addition to the value of Southern productions. The congress and its branches wou.d look to the quality oi immigration .as well as to mere members. It would serve as a check on the mak ing of mere speculuation the basis of immigration. "If the South is willing to help herself in this matter she will be greatly benefitted in many ways, ot the least ol which would be in filling up our vacant places with in telligant, assinilabie aad desirable new comers, and unless her people are Willing to make some organized popular effort iu that direction, there will fee maintained the exist ing -tatua, in which the West and Northwest get the lion's share and the - South the few that come by chance on weir own account. ' ; ' A Thorny Path. -' .. 'The editor of the Greet wood (ft C) Atlas has found the . path of journalism a thorny one. In the last issue of the Atlas the following editorial announcement appeared: The Atlas' will suspend an issue during court at Abbeville this month, as the prdprietor is com pelled to" be on hand the third Mon day to answer to charges of tres pass and larceny, having . been ac cused of the same and indicted by Mr. Wm. F. Carter,.. wh claims to be editor and manager of the Green wood Tribune. J, 'Several weeks ago we .removed from that office, under .mortgage, a desk ' and other property; the desk, sayB Mr. Wm. F. Carter, contained property belonging' to him. This may or may not' be true ; however, we patiently await our hearing." ' .

" - The proposition now before our State Legislature lor change the name ot Charleston, Swain county, to that of Bryson City is fresh illus tration of the poverty of invention or absurdity of application . in - the use of names for which the English speaking people are noted. The obliteration of the name ''Charles.? tan," is proper; it was "always .with out meaning or applicatii n, and there was already a town of that Dame in almost every State in the Union. The sabstiiution of the nime Uryson City, perpetuate g the Dame ' and the 1 service of an eminently good and useful citizen of Swam county, would be appro priate with the dropping off of the suffix "city." There is the repeti tion of the American absurdity, that incongruity of taste and sense which appropriates to the hamlet or the village that which belongs to and dignifies b metropolis, or a great aggregation of population. - The tei m "city" with us has no meaning because 1 all distinction, between s?reat and small is eff need. The French terminal "viile" is equally unmeaning, lejs ajnbitionally ap plied, but when translated, mean ing "city," the absurdity becoming transparent, and the country is dot ted with numberless "citLeb" with BODulations of from fifty to fie thousand. The poverty ol invention is varied by the adaptation of high sounding names of celebrated or great cities to the new towns and villages springing up every where. London and Paris, Vienna and Berlin, Rome Athens and Palmyra are multiplied a thousand times, but town nom enclature reached the climax of the ludicrous in the State of New York. There some pedant appears to have been commissioned to christen the newly laid out towns, and with a Lemprieie's dictionary in his hands to haye scattered broadcast the names ol warrier and statesman poet and orator with sublime reckless ness of propriety, and we . meet Ovid and Manlias, Virgil and Cicero and Marcellus, and the people of Ilion, Athens, cVme, ' Syracuse, Carthage. Palmyra, and most of the cities of ancient history, not to speak of those of more modern times, such as Lyons, Warsaw, Salamanca, Naples, Smyrna, Potsdam, Liverpool and so on, ad infinitum. ' And all thiSjWas the more inex cusable because the Indian tribes of that State, still lingering or but re cently extinguished, possessed a singularly rich and sonorous Ian' guage; and the fine names retained in the names of villages or rivers. such as Niagara, Onondaga, Tona- wanda, Oneida, Cattaraugus, leave us to lament the folly which substi tuted the threadbare nomenclature of other times and countries for something destinctly original and euphoniously agreeable. England has the advantage ef drawing its names of cities and towns from a very remote part without knowledge of the origin or meaning ot the title. When tbe Briton of modern times is called upon, like the American, to found and name p1 aces, towns or cities, his resources seem meagre enough, the first idea that strikes him and the only one. is characteristic loyalty to the reigning lamily ot Great Britain or servility to the nobility. Victo rias in the British possession throughout the world are common as Smithvilles in the United States; and there is a profuse sprinkling of Alberts, Wellingtons that mark un mistakably the English footsteps of discovery or colonization. ' The Spaniard in his nomenclature has often the happiness of covering iip under high Bounding names that which becomes very mean, often very blasphemous in translation, as for example, Saogre de Christo, (the blood of Christ,) as applied to a well known mountain past, or Cuerna vaca, a Mexican town. lit jraliy cow's meat or b ef. .'" -. On the whole, however, Spanish names are noble in sound, and often so in sentiment; for their dignity contemns that which is mean, their religious temper finds utterance in it r . . . . me inuuw oi aevouon o what is holy or venerable in sacred; history or legend. Here, at home, we have neglected or discarded, a rich field for original distinction, and. finely sounding names. , . The Indians, tven yet among us, had applif d to all the streams and mountains names that had a mean ing, most of them euphonious,some of them beautiful. . The early white settlers, perhaps because of. mutual hostilities which kept the races too far apart to learn anything from each - other except : the mutual Strength of arm, applied their own to whatever of stre.tm or mountain or settlement they found. . In many instances the aboriginal names, Sgilh""!; : -re Tlat?d Intof " In most of the Western countries, only a few Indian names are re tained.'
