Immigration to Louisiana. EXTRACTS FROM LKTTKRS. In a letter to the agricnltnral editor of this paper, dated St. Lonis, Oct. 23ch.

the following paragraphs occur There ia a colony of farmers, forming here to remove to some other State. They are principally Germans. and 'have had Oregon on their minds. I am acqnainted with the Secretary of the association, and have nsed arguments to persuade them to try Louisiana. It ha occurred to me that if you would send him your book and open a correspondence with him, it might change their views and turn them to Louisiana." LETTER FROM ILLINOIS.

In a letter lately received from J. B. Porterfield, Esq a wealthy Illinois farmer, dated Sidney, 111., Oct. 29, we have 'the following, which we are permitted to publish: It appears to me that if your large system of sugar planting could be- so changed that the cane could be sucoess-- fnlly grown by small farmers, and then up by one central sugar-house, at reason able rates, or the cane sold by the ton to the proprietor of the sugar-honse. it would be better than the present arrangement.

It would settle up the rich unimproved lands of your State. The small farms, and the stock, improvements and products would aggregate vastly more than the large plantations, and the wealth and resources and popu- lation or tne state would oe greauy in-" creased." X.ARGK AND SMALL FARMS IN ILLINOIS. The writer of the letter noticed above Large farms have been tried in Illinois, and, as a rule, do not succeed well. A locality made up of small farms, say 40 or 80, or 160 acres, is always the most prosperous. The reason for this is obvious.

1 IoKav i a nnmn anil his family, and hence habits of industry and economy are encouraged and are an aoxnai necessity. 2. Schools in each neighborhood be come a neceHBiiiy, uiu lud bxpuuo, lmjiiio by a large number, is light to each one of the actual tax-pavers. Each feels an interest in the school when his own chil-: dren attend. If immigration could be encouraged so as to get actual owners of the soil on email farms, I am satisfied it would be of great advantage to your State in more ways than those I have mentioned above.

DESIRE TO EMIGRATE SOUTH. There is a growing desire on9 the part of our laboring population to go South, and many express tbeir preference for Louisiana. They all suppose that raia- mess. If your people could adept in sugar making some such a system as our farmers in the North have adopted in cheese mgiDg, lit wuiuu uuuuuess succeed, ic was found too expensive for each small farmer to build the necessary buildings and get tbe necessary machinery to make were located and run successfully. It seems to me," says our Illinois cor- respondent, after having been in Louisiana, and witnessed sugar making myself, that the sugar planters might profit by the late experience of the cheese makers of the North.

I write you this because I am anxious yon shoulu succeed, arid because I know a large number of our small farmers would gladly avail themselves of your mild climate and your rich soil if they could see how they could succeed. I want to see Louisiana prosper. Respectfully, J. B. PORTERFIEPD." LETTER FROM TEXAS.

A gentleman writes us from Anderson county, Texas Can yon put me in the way of getting a large, late, complete, accurate and authentic map of Louis- iana The first thing an intending immigrant wants to see is such a map, and the next thine he expects is to be furnished, free of cost, with full and valuable information about those points in climate, soil, products, etc. which most concern him. The Northwest was filled up by such means. Texas does so on a large scale systematically. I want to learn all I can about Louisiana as a field for Immigration for myself and others, presuming you have maps, circulars, which you can send me." As Peter said Such as I have give I unto thee;" but we have nothing to send bnt "Louisiana As It Is" and a small topographic map and circular called "Louisiana in a Nutshell," prepared by the present Board of Immigra- tion, and a small map of the Jackson Kailroad (N.

St. L. and C. B. and circular, sent out by the board, and written information.

No books or pamphlets can be obtained in any of the bookstores, or anywhere else, throwing light on the resources of this State, and the inducements it holds out to immigrants, except those mentioned above. OCEAN SPRINGS ITS BEAUTIFUL SUMMER RESIDENCES FRUITS. On the 26th nit. we made another visit to Ocean Springs, on the New Or leans and Mobile Railroad, 84 miles from mis city, we visitea some or the oeau- i iiiuj summer residences which we naa not visited before, fronting on Biloxi Bay. Dr.

Austin has a delightful place, and many fruit trees, splendid live oaks, and a fine view of the bay from a bold bank iweniy ieet above tide water. air. Schmidt, senior partner of the New Orleans commercial house of Schmidt Ziegler, has the most beautiful, complete and attractive place on the bay that we have seen. His dwelling-house is comfortable and convenient in all its details, -and is splendidly ventilated and airy. The neat shell walks, tasty garden with a great variety of choice flowers, vines and shrubbery; the magnolias, live oaks, and orange trees, all of them beautiful Afi anfnmn A AlavatArl rva 1 and seats under the broad branches of a noble live oak overlooking the bay tbe neat spring-house with its brick curbing, comfortable seats and cool waters; the niutinTia nnlArrmnTi1 rtistarn the ex- 'tended arbors of scuppernong grape -vines; the thrifty pear trees that have "borne ten or fifteen successive crops of excellent fruit the Chinese quince trees Joaded with its golden stores the wharf And bathing-house the pleasure and fish-ng boats all of these are kept in admirable order, from a gate-latch and a fishing-line np to the foundation and painted walla of the dwelling house.

In bunting, fishing, sailing, bathing, on the frallery, in the parlor, or in the shade of all the appointments of the place are in perfect order, in the house, out of doors, in all places system, order and good Jaste are every where visible. THJE HOTEL. The Ocean Springs Hotel is now very well kept, and it ought to be well supported, summer and winter. Those who live in the cold North, on the Northern Western States, who dread the terrible JivbU and bleak winds of Northern win ters, should come down to Ocean Springs and to other places aleng this coast to New Orleans, Grand Island Attaka-pas to spend tbeir winters when they have the means to do so. FRUITS.

Mr. Stuart has a large number of magnificent orange trees a thousand or more, we believe which in a few years will bear abundant crops of fruit, lie has the Creole orange the Biloxi or Gulf coast orange, which they claim is better than any other; the mandarin and the Brazil isn orange, and the myrtle orange, all growing in great perfection, young trees and bearing trees. We have seen no trees that look better than his. This coast country has some strange pecnlarities of soil. The pear tree is usually snppoBed to need a clay soil, at least a good clay sub-soil.

In these sandy lands it grows and produces as well as in clay lands. The live oak that grows so grandly on the alluvial lands of Louisiana, even in small elevation in the sea marsh, grows as grandly here. We noticed a fine live oak at Ocean Springs, said to be eighteen years old, that is about thirty inches in diameter, and has broad and heavy branches. LECTURE ON FRUIT CULTURE. By C.

Lang-don, of Mobile. In the admirable lecture of Mr. Lang-don, delivered at the industrial conven tion at Blount Springs, on the 6th of September last, we gather the loiiow ing valuable items THE BORER Is the most common enemy to Southern orchards, and does more mischief than all others. The remedy for. the borer is the simplest imaginable, and as sure as it is simple.

Take common soft soap, suoh as in Did times was made in every kitchen in the land, and early in the spring, as soon as the leaves begin to put forth, with a still brush apply the soap to the trunk, forks, and large branches of any tree in the orchard. Never neglect it any more than yon would neglect the seasonable working of your cotton. Brush bard, so that all the bark shall be covered and all the crevices filled with soap. It will prove a perfect protection from the borer and all other insects that prey upon th-a vitals of the tree through the bark. Not a licher, or fun gas of any kind will remain on the bark.

As tbe soap is washed down by the rains it fertilizes the roots by -feeding them with potash. The soap, unadulterated, may be too strong for young trees, especially for the tender bark of the young peach. Mix with the soap, for such trees, four parts water and one part soap. These views are general, and apply to all fruit trees that grow in our climate. APPLES.

To succeed well in apple culture at the South, trees that originated in Southern seedlings must be selected. The Northern choice varieties will not succeed in the South. The varieties adapted to the South are such as have originated from Southern seedlings. In this way we may have apples in perfection the year round, and in no other way. AUCTION SALES.
