By the new postal law, which goes into force on the first day of next January^ subscribers are required to prepay their postage in advance* at the office of mailing; that is to aay, the publishers of newspapers will ' be requiVed to prepay it for them. The postage the .Weekly Echo is now twenty cents per an num, and ht' tV nevf law the postage will be pply fifteen cents per annum, so that it is really cheaper to the subscriber than under the old law. This amount each subscriber will have to remit in addition to the regular sub ^ption price. Sonthriit* Immigration. K " - * #; Mr. Hillymd's letter, which we below present, is one that teuches the vitaHnterests of the Southern States. The idea that white men can not endure farm labor in the Booth, prevails largely abroad, and atone of the chief obstacles ition to the Gulf States, the invitation contained sa ÄS ur State io ft p^aporo us to the that field latitude». by m to .Umgili % «/mb in the fallowing circular will -meet with s general response, as it is bv immigration other States have secured their present wealth and prosperity.

Bat here ia the difficultyWe have nobody to state their wants with any* authority. Individual voices may speak out; but individual, voices may be right and they ran y be wrong, aod it is likely that the} 7 might exert as much influence as it is well they should. The letter plan to advance our individual inter«# and the pros perity of the State is to secure some means of co-operation, so that our scattered force® may bo concentrated. Merge the indi vidual into organizations, and then our demands wilMiave weight and character, and will receive their doe attention. Much is to be done, and touch will remain undone to advance the trade and farming interest of our parish, unless steps aye taken by the citizens them selves to keep pq.ee with the pre sent progressive age. It will not do at this time to let opportunities pass, for they may never return again, and now is the time to be up and doing. Let us organize into useful bodies ; obtain the wants and necessities of each and every branch of industry ; hear the ideas of practical men, and resolve among ourselves to strive to promote the} interest- of our now promising country. By those means we may hopê to obtain any reasonable legislation we mayfieod from the State dr National Gov ernments. That is the only re course, gene can or will deny. Then why staud idly waiting? Let us go to work, and that at V once. ........ ■■!»».< in l bUe - The" President has issued his message, and the New Orleans Times says it " is by no means a brilliant state paper. It look! as if the President*mad© it out of his own head and found the material unsuited to the ptsrpdse.

V Upon ll * organization of the Legislature will depend, in a grenzt measure, the solution of the p(H- liticàl problep that will be pre- sented, and it is of the last im- portance that there should be no blunders committed in the outset of our administration. To avoid mistakes it will be necessary Io» discuss the whole question in all its bearings, obtain the* best ad- vice and agree to act with unanim- ity. This can only be done by frequent consultation? among the members, and henoe the import- ance q{ their presence in the city some days previous to the meeting of the Legislature. --- 4||É -; General Longstbeet.—A cor respondent of the New York World, writing from New Orleans, makes the following affusion to one of Lee's favorite lieutenants : General Longstreet, for so many years the Courage and , mainstay of the faltering carpet-baggers of this State, has been brought to a bed of sickness, from whieu it is though t,»he may never more.- rise. Hated,'abbbred by those once fol lowed him even into the valley of death, his end, with all his faults will be a sad one. If he had died when he put awav that swpr.fi which was as bright and pure as any in the land, save one, a nation would have mourned his loss; but to-day he will psiss away a thing despised, unwept, utihonored, and unsung. mem stand in of At a t off by of in on The New York Sun is brief and to the—scoundrels : " John T Ludeling, declared by the Su preme Court# the United States to be a swindler on a grand scale, is still the Chief Justice of the »State of Louisiana, and Kellogg, his unprincipled accomplice in the matter of the fraudulent Ronds, exercises the power of Governor of the same State. Thanks to Grant's employment of Federal bayonets for the overthrow of the legal government. Advertisers are notified that for several years past we have declined all advertisements from Messrs. Geo. P. Rowell & Co., of New York, and the accuracy of their information feoheernlng the South ern Cultivator, may be inferred from their stating in their Dirac Jolv that it ip published by Win. & W. L. Jones, whemjn fact, said firm has been dissolved raorfe than —[Southern Cultivator. A Piftsburg dispatch of the Gfch instant says the final conference between the iron manufacturers and pufidlers has failed. The ro aul| of the prolonged lock-out will bo somewhat discouraging, as the failure of the two parties to come to nu agreement will throw out of cm ploy meut about forty thousand me® and seriously affect the iron coal mining interests of .the . by at Of of Yi on the rtv, tanl horizon. round o po tcfct. iron tion in of the elec inia afford another illustration ff the truth that % political revolution of this yhar was not produced so much by Democratic gains 1 - ns iRepublican in 1372 was on Go the main contest tun coi egress meri. Theb the Conserva tiv® candidate? received in ,th#> aggregate 94,623 votes, an d the pepablioana 98,914 thug giving the former ft majority of less than one thousand. At the electibtf of last month «the .Conservative nominees for^Con gress got 93,685 votes, while their Republican opponents ' obtained only 76,565, thus giving tbf former doritv of more than seventeen a majority of thousand. , , * It ^ill be seen Ih gh the t nservative majority has raereas by sixteen thousiaud in the past two yearh, their vote is smaller now than it Was in 1872. The «hange is due to the fact that the Republican vote, sr «Spared with that cast in 1872, has fallen off mor® than seventeen thousand. The falling off is of unusual sig nificance, because it is dae to a growingfiisSaiisfftftion with Grant ism among the ^colored voters. They catised this change in Vir ginia. It was also owinfc to their lefection in.Louisiana that Kel logg aud his venâl crew were beat en, and are now trying to count in by fraud. The newspapers say that 20,000 negroes yotted with the Democrats iu Georgia. In fact thaw freed men rendered valuable services in the recent elections, and contributed an element essen tial to the overthrow of the Ad ministration in : all. the carpet-bag States. . » __ The commissioning of the sheriff of Carrpll by Kellogg, before thé vote of the parish had been pro mulgated by the Returning Board, indicates very clearly* what the usurpers propose to do, and to what means they intend to resort to in order to perpetuate their hold on the government of the State.
