Phtt H'--"r-l While the ii-ople of the Pai ilie coast are sparing no c ilort to keep the Chi nese away, the Southern planters, whose negVo help has. joined in the ''on to Kansas" movement, are pet itioning the Six Companies in San 1 "lanciseo to send Chinese lalntrers to .M:-.sisipj.i anl 1OiiisiaiKi. The Six Companies reap.ntl thai they have no control over those of their counlryineii v ho came to the I'niU-d Siates, con.sisUeiitly n ot ticial isHisigiiments of Chinese need be expts tcj by the'iull St Ues. Itilt, since the Jantci express a de-ire for help of this kind, there is little doubt that Ihevcitn gei it. What the rc-ult of this innovation w oiild Is? is prettv clear. If thesa celesttai.s once get a footing iu the South, thev w ill retain it. Patient, Industrious and intelligent, they will crowd the Hven.je plantation negro lioin his position. There is no reason whr the Chinese should not re wel comed to the South. Kiborand capital aro what that ststion of the country neetls. With lats.r plenty and che-tp, capital would not long be wanting. The rice swamps havw not lnsn largi.-ly cultivate-! of late bes-anse the iiegrv.s generally refuse to work in tliein. The Chinese "would not be found so particu lar. Indeed, in some parts of China rice La the principal grain crop, and help familiar with tho marshes conld probably te had for the asking. Immi gration of this kind would regulate it self to the demand, and if no place is found for the stranger, they w ill qul etlr take themselves away. The Chi nese utitr in California recause they find em"plymt?nt there; they would only star in the South on the same tcrujs. 'their presence would doubt leaa do much to restore the prosperity .v.i.1. a-rtsted tn the cotton Sutea be fore tbe war. and U would restore it ou the healthy basis of free labor. t AXKiHT OF TERROR.

The wind howled and roared, whistled, screamed uud moaned alternately. The darkness was lightened by the snow, but onlv to produce the etlect of shroud ing everything in a dim white. The men and tho horses were, as white as the country. It was almost impossible to catch breath enough to keep up the in-tioii of the heart. It w a utterly iui s.aihlc to keep the eyes open.

It is thougrit how ever, that this is merely a ruse to ob tain information of tho movements of the British troops. The Kkowe relief column started on the 'Jsith of March. It is composed of ii, 000 men, two (iatliug guns, two can nons, several rocket tules, 113 wagons and fifty six pack mules. Colonel Lav commands the advanceguard, cosisting of tho Xaval Brigade from the ships Shah and Tenedos, two companies of Bulls, tive of the ISmetv-ninth regiment andtho whole of the Ninety-first regi ment. The w agons are escorted by two companies ot mounted natives ana a liattalion of natives foot. Major Peinberton commands the rear guard, composed of lion men from the Boadieea. tho r iltv-seventh regiment, a battalion of the Sixtieth regiment and the mounted natives. Ixml Chelmsford and stall' are with the roar guard. All was well with tho column up to the JlOth of March. Colonel Pearson on that day signalled from Kkowe that he could see the head of tho column entrenching on the Amatudala river.

He says that recently, while ne and two others were crossing the coun try they came upon the skeleton of a horse, with a grinning skull looking out at them between the ribs of the ani mal, like a prisoner peering through the bars of his celL The two skeletons told the whole story. The man had killed his horse, cut him open, and crawled inside of him, thinking thus to escape perishing of cold, but the flesh of the animal froze solid, and the man xvaa as much of a prisoner as if he had been shut in by a wall of iron.

Evans, at the corner of 'McDowell aud Edeifton sts., and there met' Miss Loui ise Painter, the famous female evangel list, whose arrivaj had beeu expected here for some ' time', and who reached the eitv at noon Friday. The lady gave a kind welcome 'Xo the repoiter, who was attracted by lier easy grace and dej-' lightful quality of manner. She is i apf parent ly about 35 years Of age, ahd has a oasl nit At ft-tnpessioit. which is occa sionallv lightened, bv a smile, and steaks in a sol"Lvlea,sari.t manner. She is sutt'erihg sdhiew'Kat at 'present with nervous headache, but this is owing to fatigue, and will.soon disappear. HEBlKARLV 1AVF.. In resisinse to inquiries, she sjiokd readily of her past life and services in the-good work she1 ha so nobly: taken up, and the reporter was, in the course of quite a lengthy conversation able to glean tne following iacis in reiauoii thereto: 'Miss Painter was born neau .onia. Ohio. .- Her fattier was a nativq of Virginia,?"-" haying Temoved fron Winchester. Tier mother was lxrn ini (diilford or- Randolph! county in this State, When she was a cnnu nor pa rents removed' to Iowa, and in -this State, near DeeoTah. is 'now her home. She chose teaching as "her profession. and w as for some voais engaged there in, but failing health compelled her to give it up. In IS'W she had professed religion, becoming a member of tho societv of Friends, or Quakers, as :hey are more common J v termed. When her health failed she 1 felt a greater change in her religious feelings, which wrought upon her mind the belief that she was ca od to spread tne word.

The. first scene ol her lalKrs .was in the State of Wisconsin, where she con du--tod lueetintrs for a short time and in a small way.

Illinois, Maryland, Virginia, New York. -New Jersey and Sonth t ar olina. She formerly worked in connec tion with other divines, but recently has often conducted meetings entirely unaided. ; IN SOUTH CARol.lXV. Miss Painter has been in this State six winters and one summer. When she firt came her health was wretched, but strange to say, despite her arduous labors, it has so improved as to seem wonderful. Her labors in this State have heen mainly conducted in the country places in Chatham, Randolph and Davidson counties, and some of her most effective work was done in Per- onimaiis. where in Is76 she was one of two of three divines who conducted a meeting whereat some 3X) were con verted.7 East January in Charlotte she inaugurated a revival, whereat 40 con verts were madp. Afterwards she was in Winston with Mrs. Moon, her co laborer in the same field, and made Ho converts. Her last work was at Salis bury, where 125 sinners were turned from their way. She left there io come here, as she had pressing invitations to do so. and assist in the revival now go ing on at the Edenton street Methodist Church. Miss Painter has preached in THIRTEEN STATES, and in the summer of 187S was in Can ada. Not long ago a revival under her management at Spartanburg, S. C, was an occasion of special interest. She has invitations which, i if sho-accepts, will.keep her in this State all the sum mer. How long her stay will be in this citv she does hot know ; it will depend ujvon result. She is also an enthusias tic worker in the TKMPKRANCE CAUSE, and has held meetings at almost every place visited. She .feels also specially called to this work. She ha.s conducted meetings in the Lutheran, Baptist, Presbyterian, and Methodist churches. She has recently dropped her Quaker dialect, and dispensing with the "thee" and "thou," so peculiar to their form of speech, uses the ordinary words and phrases. A Singular Incident. CorrcsMMu,ewe of the Xews. WixaTON, N. C, April Is. At our court a singular scene was witnessed on yesterday. A Mr. Mitch ell, w hose wife died in Bertie county four or five years since, went out to Texas where he secured charge of a church and another wife, leaving in tlie meantime his only child, a little girl, iu charge of her grandmother, a Mrs. Cor bett. Recently he returned to North Carolina to got the child, when the old ladv having no other children living, and no otner grandchild, objected to giving her up. The father was de termined and had recourse to a writ of habeas corpus. The grandmother re ceiving notice in time took the child and left for parts unknow n, it appear ing that a Mr. Walker,of Elizabeth City, a brother-in-law of Mrs. Corbett, with whom die resided, had given her the notice and otherwise enabled her to evade the writ, Judge Avery felt eon strained to put him in Hertford jail for ninety das tor contempt of court. The little girl is about six years of age, and it is thought that her fond grandmother has carried her to some hiding place in Virginia. The father is undoubtedly entitled to the custody of his child, but it is a pit v he could not inake soine con cession to the feelings of Mrs. Or bet t under all the eirevimsLanoes.
