Some tim? ago* wo referred to tho views Of Mr. John Stuart Mill, the English writer, on th|9 wojnah question. We thought his views iii advocacy of woman's political rights weak. But ip this ora of chang? and innovations, no man can say how distant ie; the time when woman .suffrage nh&ll^bV.the law of the land; Certain it is. that if the radical party find this suffrage necessary to sustain ?arty ascendancy, they will not hesitate >to seek to establish it. It seems that "tho woman question" has reached the halls of Congress and Mr. Julian is the pioneer of tho movement. This Mr. Julian proposes a sixteenth amendment, which is to forbid any State to deprive any of its citizens ot the right of suf? frage, by reason of their sex. On this subject, tho Kew York TPbrWsays: -"Doubtless, Mr. Jillian's bill will be killed after the House has discussed it to some oxtont; but its introduction is only another evidence of ' the' prominenoo which the woman question is rapidly assuming. The agitation of the subject will succeed to the.anti-alavery agitation, justasthe latter succeeded the tempe? rance movement. It is a note-worthy fact that three, topios, which, moro than any others, fa*ve engaged the attention of the present generation of Americans, have had no diroot connection with reli? gi?n. T?? .questions whiob. can interest an entire hatton to-day are not religions, 'but political, ?conomie, or sooial ones. 3So attempt to create a 'No-popery' ex? citement could succeed either in this country pr England; and the tone of the press has lately shown how little interest our people-have taken. in the discussion of Mormon peculiarities whioh the bill abolishing polygamy hus called forth iu Congress. : Matters of. faith have no longer tho hold they once had, when c whole community could be agitated, at New England waa a century ago, on siiob purely theological crotchets os 'Hopkiu sonianism..' Those sohemes which pro? pose the. improvement of the physical, sooial, or political condition of mankind can now alone command the interest oi arouso the enthusiasm of a population.'

My object ia reviving this subject in the public prints wes purely patriotic, aud with no loyo or fouduesa Xor nowspapor farno or notoriety. I hone tho correspondent ia question can puPhis hand over his heart and say the ?arno. I havo always thought that whenever any ono intended to give his arguments on any subject to the pub? lic, for roviow, that they should have been first well digested. If your corres? pondents have undergone this process, the result has certainly been a flow of words without the proper modicum of ideas. I have often heard it said that when a debater's arguments failed him, he would then, and not until thou, resort to tho perversion of the menning of words and isolated sentences. It is cer? tainly a singular coincidence, to say the least of it, that all tho edi tom through? out the Stato who. have noticed my com? munications on immigration at all, have oither commended tbem, or spoken of ? rn, iu the mildest terms, aa worthy at leu I f consideration. Is it possible that ibis single individual is bettor ac? quainted with the matters involved, and better capable of judging, than all these gentlemen of the press, who have had the opportunities of both reading and reflecting on all that has been published on this subject since the close of the war? He accuses me of "gross misrepre? sentation of his meaning." Well, i gave my views in regard to the kind'of labor? ers we both needed- and could procure. He says : "Our country does not now need the introduction to a large-extent of such laborers as contemplated in the plan." I contend that we do heed them to a "largo extent" both as laborers BE well as voters, and hence the logical de? ductions as stated in the "supplement.' I suppose he would say in reply, that he intended those who accepted homestead! so supply these wants. Suppose w< could get the class indicated by him, af well as secure them good titles to theil homesteads, (which I do not believe,] they would have their own , farms,' anc heneo could not be at the command o the land-owners as laborers ; and th? numbers introduced would not be sc gr??t as the plan contemplated by me and henoe the number of votes less. He seems to object to the manner it which I disposed of his relation of om loss of labor since 1866. I did not thinl it necessary to comment upon the causei of the loss of labor to the older South ern States, for it was so plain to Bei after the negroes were freed, that it tool no prophet to foretell it ; the laws o supply and demand would have answerei this question. But, really, I saw no ne oessity for lugging this question into hi first article, with the view of proving that we could not "keep our immigran laborers after importing them." M; plan for the introduction and distribu tion of laborers wits intended for tb adoption of the whole South; and if oar ried out, would not the West procure ii proportion to their ability as well as de mauds ? And would not this fact, whet applied to all the Southern States, rogu late both the numbers as well as th prices of labor ? When pondering over the results thu would accrue to tho State if bis sugget tiona were carried ont, I asked, does h mean that the planters of the Soutl should take tho plow-handles aud giv their waste lands to tho already comfort able "wJiite men of some means," icc. I meant by tbis that the supply of laboi crs would not be sufficient to occup them in dircctiug or superintending h borers; and that this, together with th pecuniary want necessarily consequent would force this stato of things, would ask, which wouH develop the re? sources of and enrich Sooth Carolin most rapidly: to have hordes of laborer introduced into tho State, distribute and managed as indicated in my article! or to have all the plauters to take th plow-handles, and each one able to git good titles lo homesteads, to have one c more foreigu families settled on his plai tation, no one of which foreigners kuov ing how to prepare the land, plant, cu tivate or harvest auy one of our Soutl ern products-say cotton, rice, tobacct sugar cane, or coru ? What do you BUJ pose would he tho result ? My predii tion would be universal bankruptcy, au moro paupors than tho world ever Ba congregated in tho same space. I d not object to gentlemen taking tho plov handles, for I claim to know somethirj of the manner of guiding them mysel although there never bas beeu any p cuniary necessity for it ; but when tl relative value of a man's labor in diffe ont capacities is taken into consider tion, I think the public will hold that am oorreot. I hope, however, that the co respondent in question Jtas taken the plot handles himself, and at tho next annu fair will give us the results of his labor Wueh examples we need, and no donl would induoe others to "go and do lik wise." I agree with him, that "thero a hosts of white mou in the South livit in idleness." "Let them go to work "Let the planters (those idle, I will say and their idle sons take the plow-ha dies." All these golden recommend tions, however, to tho sons of Carolii will not interfere with my plan for r generating the State, and I would b; him Ood-speed; but, first, be sure yo; example is good. I know nothing to tl contrary, not knowing who he ia. D vid Crocket said, "Be sure you are rigl then go ahead;" but, first, your cor? pondent should be sure he is right; tb go ahead. If he and his son or sons I lias ?hyxphav6 t?hen (li?p^uj^qwS^j^c From the general drift of ( ibo argi? ?dent : had' ronara Afo?stf on?rt>l ^ by tho donation of toto**. Heads, I think any impartial miud would have ooooluded that ho.intended to con? voy the idea of originality. .. ? mm glad, however, to see that ho doea not claim paternity. From Gen. Tjacfcrnon'o pro? positions, ou tbia subject, X have no doubt all others wore taken; and iii some re- ' apeota they are the best I.have seen. His attempt to dispose of the proposi? tions of Mr. A. Saohtleben on tho sub? ject of immigration to the detriment of j my plan, becuuse hebronght over a Ger? man, peasant, who left him, ia simply puerile, and I will Dot ask space in your columns to disouss. And now. Mr. Editor, having said all I think necessary in regard to the points brought np by yoar oorrespondeot, I will beg a little more indulgence, while I briefly review the history of immigration as applied to the settlement of the Uni tod States, from the landing of the first colonists, under the auspices of the Eng? lish Government, np to the present time. The first permanent settlement was com* menced in May, 1607, at Jamestown, on the James River, in Virginia. Th? next was Now York; next Massachusetts; next New Hampshire; next New Jersey; next Delaware; next Maryland; next Connec? ticut; next Rhode Island, and then carno North and South Carolina. The last j settled of tho original thirteen States was Georgia, in 1732. I have mentioned these settlements in regular rotation, to show that there was thoo no predilection for any particular locality; the colouists mado settlements indiscriminately all over tho lands claimed by the English Government. After the United States Government was established, there seems to have been no marked change in this respect until Monroe's administration 1817 to 1825-when five now States were admitted into the Union, viz: Alabama, Mississippi, Missouri, Illinois and Maine. Theo it was that the great question of slavery, ns applied to the settlement of the territories, shook tho whole political fabric of the country, and resulted in tho adoption of the Missouri compromise ' line. I rom this date the tide of immi? gration directed itself North and North? westward. The same inducements were ! held out by the Government tc foreign settlers to go to Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and afterwards to Florida and Texas, ns to Maine, Illinois, and after? wards Indiana, California, and all the new territories acquired in consequence of the Mexican war. Government lands were only one dollar per acre wherever found. The question arises, why did they not come South? Then the negro was a slave and subordinate to the white man. It certainly mnst have been in consequence of the presence of the negro. Now the negro, by the aid of the scalawag and carpet-bagger, is holding the white man nuder po? litical subordination. If the immi? grant did not voluntarily come to tho South, while the former condition of tliiugs existed, will he voluntarily come now, with the present abnormal and God forbidden condition? The uns wer, it seems, is plain. We must create a diversion to the Soutli by using means never heretofore resorted to by the people of the North. What this shall be, must be de? termined by the assembled intellect and experience of the whole South. I have suggested a plan; if there is any other better suited to accomplish the ends, may Heaven smile npoa it, and may it be adopted from the Potomac to the Kio Grande. One thing we should bear in mind, and that is, that the area of our country (more than equal to all Europe and Russia) ia altogether in disproportion to the minier of inhabitants-about 40,OOO, OOO. And that were the prices of lands what it would be; wore it not for the largo investments of capitalists in this kind of property; and that if the labor question, all over the United State, were regulated by the laws of supply and de maud, strictly carried out, we would have a poor showing for our sharo of those able to purchase lands.

GILMORE SIMS, ESQ.-Tho follow? ing letter will be read with interest by all who aro desirous of supplying them? selves with a full, convenient and relia? ble compendium of all human know? ledge: To thc General Agent for the Southern States. DEAR SIR : It gives me great pleasure to fiud you facilitating the circulation of ?Appleton's Cyclopaedia in our Southern country. Such a work, useful every? where, is particularly vulnable here, es? pecially after tho destruction of so many of our libraries. I cun readily and do cheerfully bear testimony to the grent value of the Cyclopaedia of Messrs. Ap? pleton as being vasily superior to any ex? tant, whether European or American. Il comprehends not only all that is really valuable io all preceding works of thu olass, but covers n far greater variety ol subjects and interests, arts, sciences, letters, biography and history, a vnsl collection, the accumulated knowledge .of modern and recent periods to thc I present dato. lu brief, its body of ma terial is fully one-third greater, ia mj estimate, than that of any other similai work. The editorship was confided tx the most able hands. The cohort of con tribntors was singularly strong, anc what is a speoial recommendation of thii work to our people, a large proportion Oj these were bu Southern men, nntives, ant familiar with all the local subjects of ou section, with its histories in detail UIH biographies of its most remarkable men Having myself been connected by tin Messrs. Appleton at the inception of thi work, I had the assurance from then that the materials of American characte should be drawn from the most imparti? and most unquestionable sources of na thority, that the South should have (lu justice accorded to its cJiaracter, its histor and its public men, which before had bee too commonly denied in similar publice lions. I myself took an active part i suggesting to the publishers, not only i large variety of Southern topics, but o the same time I indicated to them th several clues leading them to the prope parties for the treatment of each seven subject. I feel assured that the pul lishers have steadily adhered to thei original honorable determination to foi bear all improper, partial, sectional dit crimination in all the several depar ments of their work. Bat that is no before our pablio, and in an examinatio of its pages it will be found that the will sufficiently answer for themselves You will bo able to assist our people i the examination, and I trust you will b successful in diffusing generally throagl out the South one of the most valuub! by far of all collections of tho kind, library-a very world of books in itsel It will supply to thousands the means < study and knowledge, for which thot sands of other books would he searche in vain. With due regard, believe me, sir, yoi obedient servant, W. GILMORE SIMMS. To J. C. DERBY, Agent for the Appleton No. 3 Broad street. We heartily endorse Mr. Simms' COD mendation of this great work. The Ne American Cyclopedia is now complete i sixteen volameti. Also, The Annual (7 clopovdia, commenced in 1861-eight vc umes now out, tho same price per vc ume, and uniform with The New Amer can Cyclopaedia, published one volan annually, registering all the importai events of each year. Of this, the Ho R. W. Barnwell, in a recent letter to tl Rev. J. H. Cornish, agent for the wor! of D. Appleton & Co. in Columbia, say "It seems tome very interesting, ncc rate and impartial; an important conti billion to the knowledge we all need that of recent events."

There were fairy-like creatures, in search of bridal paraphernalia; blondes and brouettes, in search of articles, by which, if possible, to add to their numerous charms; besides a springling of matrons,.. who criticised the styles of the present . with those of years agone. Mrs. McCor? mick, by personal inspection, bas been enabled to furnish the latest styles of articles in the millinery line, to be found in New York-which embraces artificial fruit? and flowers; ribbons, ourls, chig? nons, etc.; hats, bonnetB, sasheB, etc. Although many articles' were disposed of, yesterday, there is still a goodly col? lection left. CRUMBS.-The night trains to Colom? bia and Augusta, on the South Carolina Railroad, have been provided with neat and comfortable Bleeping oars, furnished with chairs or seats constructed on the plan of "Holmes' Thernpeutio Chairs," by which means one can recline back in au easy position, and take a very .plea? sant nop. Although the spring has been quite backward, we are nevertheless now en? joying that delightful weather, so pecu? liar to our genial clime. The weather is charming. Judge Melton, in the case of Barnwell vs. Blackville, denied the rule for a man? damus, by which decision Blackville will remain the County eeat of Barnwell. The two papors.'we suppose, will have to move back again. ' The authorities of Covington, Ga., shave a man's head when he gets drunk. If this practice was followed up in some towns we know of, wouldn't there be many a one with his head shaved? Kind words, BO that they be in season, it matters not how simple, are tho flowers that one gathers from the way-side; j.;A kind word, when the heart needs it, is always grateful. Coroner Thompson held an inquest, yesterday, on the body of a mau named John Sneed, and after a post mortem exa? mination by Dr. Bawls, the jury re? turned n verdict of death by congestion of the liver. The Charleston Courier suggests that President Johnston should construct a depot for the convenience of passengers over his road. The matter, we are in? formed, has been under consideration for some time, aud ere many months have elapsed, the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Bailroad will be in posses? sion of a depot which will be an orna? ment to the city. The PHONTX office is supplied with every style of material from the small metal letter to the largest wood type, together with plain and fancy cards, paper, colored ink, bronze, etc. It is the only establishment in the interior of tho Stato where two and three sheet posters can be printed.
