Tlumbupf " U the ordpr of the
The Puiret Sonne! lumber
trade has increased very rapidly of.
late years. Upwards ot iourteen
hundred vessels were loaded with
lumber from the mills'on the sound
within a year past and there is" a
flemand for new mills to supply the
California market ' .
The production of petroleum
in Virginia has decreased on ac
count of the failure of several wells.
The well :at .Volcano, or White
Oak, which was drilled to a depth
of eight hundred feet m April last,
and which flowed one hundred bar
rels of .light oil for a time, is now
yielding only twenty-five barrels a
day. .
The castor bean, is becoming
an important article of culture in
Texas. This year hundreds of -acres
have been planted. The soil is prolif
ic, and in some instances has yield
ed sixty bushels of castor beans to
the acre. Very little machinery
has.as'yet. been introduced for get
ting out .the 'oil.: ' -
Tracklaying on the Southrn br.
of theTvansas Pacific Kail road has
been commenced on the south side
of0Smoky Hill river. During the
past six weeks 75.000 acres of land
have been entered at the land office,
and 1 2,000 acres sold by the rail
road com auy. '
Tli3 iron bridge on River
street, in Fitchbvirg, Mass., which
only List vear cost six thousand dol
lars. exclusive of stone work, fell
into the river on Tuesday, while
a small house was moving across it:
and a loaded stone team drawn by
a voke of oxen and a horse, was
also crossing it.
Mr Bout well's system of retrenc
hment, is most searching in its de
fails. The Government is to be sav
ed a million of dollars annually by
lopping off the superabundant clerk
ships which have been fastened on
the collectors and assessors of inter
nal revenue. The Johnson conservative-rebel
movement was so fran
tie for patronage as to increase the
working force of these subordinate
positions Tar beyond what was ac
tually needed. The pruning-hook
ofl'ccrtomy and good management
is timely, and contrast sharpens its
edge.
er-The number of men organixed
in the trade unions of New York
city alone amounts to $06,099, and
they have a bank account of $58,
1 2(5,09. The average increase of wa
ges sineo1860, for all trades repre
sented in the unions, is 70 per cent.,
the least increase being 03 per cent,
the greatest 83. Another suggestive
fact established by the returns of
these associations is that the more
complete the organization and the
greater the strength of the unions,
the larger the bank account and
the proportionate increase of wages
of 1809 over those of 1800. It is evi
dent that with the trades, as with
nations and individuals, there is
strength in union; and it is also true,
as we have before shown, that in
strikes, as in other wars, it is the
Ayeakestwho goes to the wall. These
few items demonstrate most pow
erfully the importance and efficien
cy of the unions.
From the port of Liverpool
alone, in the week ending May 29,
the whole number of nassencrs
including cabin and steerage which
left for the United States and Can
ada, was close upon 7,500. Many
of these were Germans, Hollanders,
and Swedes. The French emigrants
leave Havre direct for Xew York.
The Germans, Dutch, Swedes, and
Norwegians cross the German Oc
ean to Hull, and thence take the
railroad to Liverpool. In the week
ending June 5, ten steamers left the
Mersey for the United States and
Canada, with nearly 7.000 sonU on
board. As before, the majority of
these were from the German States
Sweden, and Norway. One Steamer
took 1,517 passengers, and 1,071
and 1,017 went on two others. Ab
out two-thirds of the whole numb
er are to settle in the United Stat
es, and are generally well provid-
with money, r roni the principal
ports ot Ireland the exodus also
continues, and a better class of per
sons than ordinary are leaving th
at country, We have room and wel
come lor them all. 1 he Irish as us
ual, will be gregarious in the cities
ami larg towns; the Continental em
lgrants, except such as are skilled
mechanics' will go west, and bee
ome happy and prosperous under
xneir own vines and hg trees.
The Thit-e Great Migrations of The
Present Ctntury
The present century has been re
markable for two immense migra
tions of human beings to the United
States one from the British Is
lands, and V one ' from . Germany,
while another of still greater mag-
nitude is about to set -iir from Chi I
na. . . - - - . ; . . ". '
The movement from the British i
Islands commenced soon after the
peace of 1S15, and embraced most
ly the Irish. The high value of labor
in the United States enabled those
who arrived readily to obtain em
ployment, aiid7from their-earnings
were dovivetf the means which en
abled 1 friends-, relatives, "families
and entire neighborhoods to be
traijrsferred -to the Xew, worlds The
process' Vas cumulative, and the
annual aggregate rose from 8,120
in 1820 to 272,7-U) in 1851, since
when the annual numbers have di
minished. The total numbers that
h a vjv. arrived from the British Is
lantls from 1820 to 1809 are 3,771,
181.- These are mostly Trish, who
expelled bybunger and til-usage
from their homes, encountered the
bitterest prejudice and enmities, on
their arrival in the United States,
to which their labors as road, canal,
railroad and house builders, etc.,
have added great wealth. The
circumstances - which impelled the
movement now act less rigorously,
and migration is rapidly on the de
cline. The German migration has been
nearly as large a t lie I-ish,:but has
been ditrcrently"Voiidiicted. The
British Government sought to get
rid of -the Irish, but the German
Government threw obstacles in the
way of migration. After the close
of the great wars in 1815, num
bers of discharged soldiers left the
Valley of the Rhine for the Uni
ted States. The success they met
with here was soon communicated
by letter to friends and relatives,
and the process of realizing little
properties commenced, preparato
ry to moving. It was not permit
ted to carry away money. The
German Governments held the
males to military service, and
many legal obs acles were in the
& . i
way oi ine emigrants, who were
also compelled to cross to France
to take ship at Havre. All these
obstacles were overcome or evaded.
and from 1,012, in 1820. the num-
bcrrose annually to 216,000 in 18-
54. After the war American ves
sels going to Havre with cotton
had no home freight. As soon as
the number of emigrants became
important the construction ol ships ;
was changed to broad floors, which
stowed more cotton and accommo
dated more passengers. They thus
had home freights. The French
Government now became alarmed
at the numbers who crossed. Franco
and ordered that no one should
cross Franch without a certificate
from the Consul at Frankfort that
the passage on shipboard had been
paid, and that each member of a
family had $150. This turned the
emigration of the Rhine to Antwerp
and Bremen, where the greatest
efforts were made by the business
agents from those cities, who ri
valled each other in promoting the
views of emigrants. 15y these ef
forts, and through the removal of
legal difficulties, the stream of em
migration has strengthened year
by jear, and the whole number of
arrivals from Germany since 1820
is 2,368,722. The Germans now
far outnumber the Irish immi
grants. Although the Germans
turned their attention mostly to
agriculture, they did not escape
the same bitter opposition that
the Irish encountered, and which is
now levelled at the Chinese, and al
most in the same words. They
were " infidel socialists." were " too
industrious and frugal," would
" work for less than Americans,"
were "taking the bread out of
American mouths," etc. But they
continued to come' as did the Irish,
and the country continues to pros
per by their bresenee. A new as
pect of affairs now presents itself.
There is required a new supply of
labor, adapted particularly to" the
to the industries of the South, but
also to those of all other sections,
and the movement for their intro
duction is in full vigor, under bet
ter auspices than attended either
the Irish or the German migration.
The Alta says that the Chinese
are a civilized, industrious and ed
ucated people of a very high or
der of intellect. They are a shrewd
business people, of a very enter-
iiiisni- eiiaracier, ana honest in
their dealings- They became more
lamihar with the Americans dur
ing the opium war and the subse
quent events than with any other
people, and their respect for them

Some
leading men came here and organ
ized a Company, the object of
which was to further the interests
of all who wished to migrate from,
the Chinese District ,6r State to
which the organizers belonged. A
headquarters was established Jiere,
aed the migration of applicants
was facilitated by advances' of mon
ey, information, advice, etc. On
the arrival of the immigrants, the
Company's agents attend to the uis
embarkationT furnish wagons, etc.,
and receive the new cornel's at the
house of the Company provided in
San Francisco for that purpose.
That is their home until they get
employment. They leave their bag

home are directed, amV when out

and $10 per head for privilege of

tern, branches; of the Company of.
Club being eatablished forthemim
the anterior. The, success-tof'jthe
first Company or Club led to- the
establishment of others'from other
Chinese districts, and there are,
now six in operation, by the means
of which some 95,000 Chinamen
are now in the State. All these
Chinamen have been educated at
public- schools. There are none,
however poor, but can read and
write. Many of them are young
men, but a considerable propor
tion have families at home, to
whom they return cocasionaly and
generally come back. Many of the
betler class have their families with
them. But the majority, coming
to a strange country, were not jer
mitted by their parents, whose au
thority in . China is absolute, to
bring their families until something
more certain was known of the
state of aflairs here. Those who
succeed in making a little money
return home, make their report,
and generally come back with sev
eral neighbors. Unfortunately
they have to report hostile laws,
which, in despite ot the treaty, le
vy discriminate taxes against them
and refuses them protection before
the Courts by not taking their ev
idence. That is not a state of af-
lairs which induces parents to
trust families, young mothers with
children, so far from home, and it
also restrains the better class of
-a -m
migration.
It is further an obstacle in the
way of making this their perma
nent home. From which it results
that they adhere to their national
cue and costume and send home
their dead to the family vaults for
burial. ThisJJis done by the Com
panies, at an expense of about $100
and where the family is too poor
to burv the body after the arrival
money is sent for that purpose al
so. This is neither a religious or a
political obligation, but simply one
of sentiment. It is a result of that
respect and reverence for the dead
which dictates the universal semi
annual visits to the family burying
grounds with .offerings ' and deco
rations. It is the desire common
to most civilized people to be bur-
ie; with their relations, and which
displays itself in the magnificent
cemeteries of most cities, from
" Lone Mountain" to " Greenwood"
the one overlooking the Atlantic
and teh other Pacific.
To these impolitic laws are also
to be ascribed the presence of the
objectionable class of Chinese wo
men ; since the mass of Chinamen
will not expose their families to be
treated as outlaws the mass of im
migrants are males. Taking ad
vantage of this, outside speculat
ors send hither degraded females ;
but this the Companies have stren
uously resisted and have given the
authorities here much aid in hav
ing the women returned. This tvil
would be greatly modified if the
laws afforded proper protection to
orderly people of that nation. The
mass of those who come under the
auspices of the Companys are or
derly, industrious, sober and intel
ligent, adapting themselves readi
ly to circumstances.
The time has now arrived when
the merits and servicable value of
the -150,000,000 persons who peo
ple China, and of whom the 65,000
souls here under the six Compan
ies form the vanguard, have not on
ly become recognized by the
American people, but their labor
has become urgently necessary in
a national point of view. The war
