There are so many hungrv. vociferous asDirants who want place and pelf, that the selections have not been always the best There mnst be a change in this 1 . . . . th' mnst be more caution exercised in thel appointments. Men must be selected for office who have unblemished charac- terd and decided capability.

G O VERNOR VA NC&S'MFFORTS TO SECURE NORTHERN IUMIGRA TION., Governor Yance seems to have met with very little success thus far in. his e forts to induce Northern laboring naen to settle in sternorth Carplina. . .There are hun3s !of UbonngAn LiQ every city wHojieven wlieii business is prosper ous and work most plentiful, are' without employment one-third of the time. If these men could raise a few hundred dol lars and would settle in Western North Caroliriawhere the cost of living is less than any other country otf this continent, and land as good and as cheap, in my opin ion, 1 if i industrious and frugal, they could make a good and comfortable; living farm ing.. Land in the grass region of that State can be had for a mere song; labor is cheap and the people sociable. I do not know of any section of the country in which, an enterprising and industrious man could do better than in the region refer red toU YLiving is so cheap in these moun tains that I have known of -cases where thedaughters of well to do farmers havo offered, to board, free of charge all sum mer, Half a dozen young ladies from, other Stateswho were entire strangers tolthem, just to have their society.. There are hundreds of valuable manufacturing sites and inexhaustible water nower both in this and the Old North . State that might and should be utilized. A The Legislatures of these States would make a good investment, it seems to me, by appropriating unds to bring these ad vantages to public attention bv the pub lication of a catalogue, with maps, locating eacn site witn norse power of water and such other particulars as might be desira able to' settlers, or by some bther mode. ! The Northern " strikers - might make a strike for North Carolina or Virginia with' advantage to themselves. The able .Richmond correspondent of that excellent Virginia journal, the Petersburg j.naex-appear in the above paragraps, d 6e8 not overrate the advantages W.estern North Carolina offers to immigrants. - If the unemployed workingmenin the North, and portions of the South, could only realize what advantages and inducements are offered them in this section of the State, we feel sure hundreds of them would come here and coming, would better their condition Why has there not been more immigration to this State ? Simply because no effort has been made to procure it, and its advantages are un known. There is every possible, attraction here to induce new settlers. There are thou sands of acres of land in this and the ad joining counties that can be bought at very low figures, and better land cannot be found anywhere. A more healthy section is nowhere to be found. The mountain scenery is innsurpassed. . What cannot be produced here there isnp neces sity for. Streams of the purest and best water in the world ' are abundant. And the people are generous, kind and hospi .table, and would gladly welcome good, honest workingmen. But we need no drones or men for "fancy work." Let the proper efforts be made to secure set tlers for "Western North Carolina, and success wfll!suTelybe their reward.
