We j should not be surprised if some one, whose name has i not jet been brought prominently forward, was to receive tb nomination. Gen.

Bishop Atkinson recently received a letter from a North Carolinian who has resided in California for a number of years, which gives a deplorable account, of the misery and destitution existing among those who have gone to that State seeking a fortune. The Bishop ent the letter to the Wilmington Journal, and that paper publishes it. We copy the concluding paragraph as follows: "I know of Southern men now in San Francisco whose little means have been exhausted, and.wha know not how toescape the pressure' of want.' Many bitterly regret having come to the country, and would gladly return, if they could.. One gentleman lately arrived, and deploring his gloomy prospects, said to me that he had been deceived in common with many others, by the false accounts he had lis tened to, and he thought that it would be an act of charity to present a true statement of things in Cali fornia, sc that others might be deterred from taking a step which would lead to regret."

We had and ' have'a soilf great natural fertility and susceptible, in a dirgh. degree, of improvement. i e had a climate adaptcj to a very large variety of agricultural pro duct and we had, too, a cheap systet.i ot labor. Yet wUhjall these ndvantages we did not grow rapidly rich : jindeed, beyond the increase of slates, we can hardly be said to have prospered at all, and even this profit from slaves may be fairly off-set by the continued diminution in the value and productiveness of much of our best land. So, in sober truth, we were not at me coJiaep"iuent 0t tnc war a great ueai richer than weVcke:fiftv vears aeo. Why was this! Why was it thajwhile less favored sections made such giant strides, and gave to an astonished world those almost fabulous instances of progress, that we were stagnant : Our enemies imratted it to what thev called the de- j jTKy.i iizjug innuences 01 siaverv. much was not. me , l"asH htjPic sense in which they n.sed the term "dc- 1, mrf nJization, hut in another sense it was true. Those ho had land and slaves here found it so easy feth.e-)and as good could be procured elsewhere. In fact our farmers were many of them but sojourners here.who made haste to wear out their lands and then to transfer themselves, or at all events their slaves, to the Southwest. The result was that we had here no such thing as scientific or experimental farming, but followed corn, wheat and cotton in one endless round,-. with the same crude, primitive and imperfect .system of culture from year to year. Intellect, which has pushed this .department of human knowledge so far in other countries, was nol emplovcd upon it here. We did not ntumpi to fer tilize; we did not study the problem, -the largest vivid with the least amount cf labor," but our a nib:- tion was "the largest number ol slaves mid the largest j j n,,,,1i01. t,f acres !' We did not experiment with veg- brains as well as their muscles in the work, and their efforts must, in order to be "uccessful. be seconded by Intelligent laborers; by men who will execute thoroughly their allotted work, and who can be re lied on to discharge their contracts with nnswerving fidelity. Such laborers, it is proposed to introduce. and along with this labor we propose to bring a ela-s j of men whose long experience in experimental agri- 1 , Ml 1 J I a - - .,. J... .1 . culture will enable them to give v.s many a valuable 1 lesson of which we now frtaml in need. We are aware that many persons regard 1U1 efforts in this direction as doomed to fan-ore, and that thev ! point to the ill-sueeepfl that has nttt'oded similar cf- ! f,,;-t in ot her portions of the South. Put we must immigrants, and then quietly sitting down to await i their cominir. In everv iitanee which we have 1 . heard of where agents have been sent to Europe to explain the advantages of the South, and to make terms with the immigrant, their efforts have been successful. It will not do to wait until the immigrants have arrived in this country, because thej' have in most instances left their homes under engagements with Western agents to take lands on the border. So if we would speedily turn the current in this direction we must enter into active competition witli tnocc Western agents in Europe. It is a great mistake to suppose that the advantages ot a Western location 'FF . , 0 . t me nt this time so vastly superior to those we can nffer the emigrant, or more likely to attract him. In order to obtain desirable land at a reasonable rate, he must go far out on the frontier and begin a seclu- ded life of dangers and exposures not at all congenial to men fresh from the thickly pojmhitcd districts of the old world, where they enjoyed perfect security and contracted a fondness for social life. They must, too, subdue the forest and build their Railroads in order to open up a communication with the markets of the world. Here we have society more to his taste; we have security for life and property; we have, or will have soon, schools established : we have Railroads bringing u in close communication with the best ports of the Atlantic coast; and we have an abuudaucc of land which, with anything like proper culture, would 'daugh with a golden harvest " With these advantages, then, there is no conceivable rcasou w hy wc should not compete successfully for the iuv migrant if we but exert ourselves properly. This proximity to the markets of the Atlantic coast j3 aone a great 'advantage. The farmer who plants away upon the Missouri, or its tributaries, must carrv his produce to La stern maiKets over a ion iine of Railroads at ruinous expense, or he must em-! ploy ic slow but cheaper mode ot Posting 101 an j immense distance by way of the Gulf f i ko, ; while w c reacu 111 c same pom. iu iert iuu uuu-ivuiu ,.f ,lf. ,:. nn(i iPSi, tiian one-half ihe expense.
