AMEttlCAN EMIGRATION TO BRAZIL..
Through the kindness of a friend we have
on our table u copy of the Anglo-Brazilian
Times, dated 2d Dec., 1865.
It contains a full and interesting account
ot the mission of Gen. Wood, of Mississippi,
who went out to Brazil on a tour of observa
tion as the investigating agent of a large
number of Southern citizens who desire to
emigrate to that distant empire, if its
agricultural capacities and social and political
condition should be found, on examination,
to be of a description and character corres
ponding with the flattering statements
wl'icli i nve appeared in the American press
in r g ird thereto.
As i iiis colonization movement, from the
peculiar circumstances attending its origin,
bn- attracted a large share of the attention of
our people, we do not know, really, that we
could render them a more acceptable service,
as chroniclers of current events, than to lay
before the public a brief synopsis of the gra
phic and cheering report of Qen. Wood,
which appears in the paper referred to. In
doing so, however, we disclaim any desire to
perpetuate or to intensify the disposition
which has been manifested by many of the
heat citizens of our country, who feel that
they are under the iron heel of oppression,
to seek an asylum in strafige lands. On the
contrary, although they have our deepest
sympathies we would admonish them
against precipitate action in the consideration
of a matter the denouement of which is
fraught, it may be, with doubtful, nay. with
evil consequences to themselves and to their
native land. Believing, as we do, that the
just and merciful policy of our patriotic
Chief Magistrate will ultimately achieve a
glorious triumph in the great struggle with
fanaticism and sectional hatred, we should
be derelict to our conscience and treacherous
to the best interests of these suffering States
if we hesitated to declare our conviction that
those of our dear people who contemplate
with certainty the sad alternative of self
expatriation should pause in the execution
of their purposes, and await witli hope, if not
with confidence, the issue of the coDtlict.
If, despite the noble resistance of the Pre
sident, aided by the conservative masses of
the North, proscriptive radicalism should
win the day and gain possession of the
seeptre of power, which its leading expo
nents have assured us in advance, will be
wielded with a vigorous and unmerciful
hand, then, surrounded by the perils of such
a crisis, the doomed victims will be driven ti
act as best they may to escape from the fury
of the impending storm. It is in this painful
aspect ot affairs that Gen. Wood's mission
and ' "jers of like character become pregnant
with interest to the people of the South, as
indicating a mode of deliverance, which, al
though not as miraculous, to human visicn,
in its modus operandi as the supernatural de
liverance lroin bondage of the chiidreu of
Isr et, may, neveriheless prove as effective
and i.rovideiilial in its grand results.
Asking the indulgence of the reader for
haviug premised the foregoing, by way of
introduction, we proceed with our synopsis.
Gen. Wood left the capitoi of Brazil, with
the permission of the Emperor, who had him
liberally supplied with all the necessary ap
pliances for his journey, on the 17th October,
186f>, for the interior provinces of Pas Paulo.
Parana, Rio Grande and San Catharine,
which are embraced in the southern
half of Brazil. He and his parly were
conveyed in a Government steamer to
the interior town of Santos, and thence
they proceeded by railway to the village of
Mugi, at or near the foot of the Serra do Cu-
batus. Here they procured mules to convey
themselves • and baggage to the village
of A to, perched on the summit of a
hi—1 mountain. The scenery in this vicinity
b ci ioed a9 being grand and awe-inspir-
; the rugged mountain’s peaks and side*-,
and apparen'ly bottomless chasms
b. >\v, all speaking eloqently of the sublim
ity of nature. They proceeded from this
point by railroad to San Paulo, and wer-
struck with the difficulties which bad been
surmounted in constructing a road across
nearly precipitous mountains. The country
on the line of this road is, to all appearance,
poor and impracticable for successful or re
munerative husbandry.
The party remained at the .city of Sau
Paulo no longer than was required to obtain
a necessary supply of mules, horses, &c.,
which were furnished by the local govern
ment, for their journey to the interior. Their
departure was effected, under the most pro
mising auspices, and during several days’
travel passed over a country the land of
which gradually improved in quality, and
tbe general aspect of the surface was decid
ed!.! more pleasiug. Here, for the first time
i lie journey, were seen fine coffee planta-
t is u either side of the road- The people
i i ..nting this portion of the country are
g 'tier J.y educated and intelligent, and mani-
tenied an eager desire for the parly to find in
the province ot S. Paulo a suitable locality lor
t c r luture homes. They freely placed tlien.-
sl.es and their effects at the disposal of Gen.
W..od, to aid in facilitating him in consummat
ing his mission. Prom this point to Araquara,
five days' journey, large tracts of good land
were passed over, producing, with unmis-
trkeable evidence of .prosperity and success,
c ffee, cotton, tobacco, sugar cane, corn,
beuns, mandioca, fruit, and other rich es
sentials of exportation and home consump
tion. Arriving at the town of Brotns, in
which the party halted fora few hours, they
directed their course to Jahu, and ft was on
this par' of the route they passed over a
country the greatest part of which delighted
them all. Not that it presented large coffee.*
cotton or sugar plantations, for it was ap
parently a new country with but little of the
land under cultivation, and that c.f the most
crude and simple character, but the land
itself presented every appearance of fertility,
and would, if industriously and scientifically
cultivated, yield to the farmer larger profits
aud an ampie remuneration for the outlay of
clearing, fencing and reducing it from its
present wild state to a condition fit for the
plow or the accessories, of enlightened and
progressive industry.
Continuing their journey to Japo their in
terest in the country became unabated. In
this country they at last passed the culti
vated lands, the rich and wide spread Fagen-
das, the cities, towns and villages, denoting
the progress of civilization and enligten*
ent, and they had reached the western fron*
Jr settlements of the protifiCe of 8. Paul"-
fit was here they struck the margin of the
country occupied by the yrild, savage In
dian, men untamed aud inimical to the pro
gress of bis more enlightened brother of the
Caucasian race. -
The captivating features of this remarka
ble section must indeed be extraordinary,
when General Wood suddenly determined to
extend his explorations no further, consider
ing that he had discovered the Eldorado of
that immense Empire. He says in bis report
that he had found the country most happily
suited to the purposes in view, and therefore
decided, withont proceeding to the provinces
of Parano, Rio Grande and Santa C'atheiin,
as he had contemplated, to apply to the Im
perial Government for permission to colonize
it. The tract thus selected lies not far from
Araquara, and includes a beautiful and con
venient site for a town, between two small
rivers about twenty-four hundred yards
apart, and about eight millions of acres of
land lying on both sides of the Jahu aod ex
tending to the river Tiete. It nan be readily
brought into railway communication with
the 9- Paulo railway, and has the further
advantage of there being adjoining to it aD
immense extent ot fine unoccupied Govern
ment, land into which a developing settlement
can develop itself. . ,
\Vith the climate the General was well
pleased. It is mild, moderate and very com
fortable, the morning and sights being cool,
and no frigidity or frosts exhibted in winter,
and then in low grounds. Iu summer there
is no insupportable heat, pleasant breezes
constantly arising and being waited over all
the lands high and low.
The report closes with the assurance that
it requires no stretch of imagination to de
pict truthfully what such a country can be
made with the appliances of industry and
ait; that with the aid of science, labor and
energy it can be made the garden of Brazil
and of the world.
THE LOaT STEAMSHIP CONSTITU
TION.
We learn from the officers of the steam
ship Leo that, on the morning of Sunday,
the 24th ult.. when that steamer, the Consti
tution and the Sau Salvador were lying in
Port Royal Harbor, having put in there in
stress of weather, Captain Greenman, just be
fore the steamers left, sent a letter aboard the
Leo, to be carried by them to Wakcman,
Gookin & Dickinson, the New York
agents of the Star Line. The boats' crew
stated in explanation that the Constitution's
propeller had been injured, and that it was
feared she would be very late into New York
in consequence. When the boats went out,
however, the Constitution showod good
speed, and no defect was manifest.
We shall soon probably have fuller details
of the Constitution's loss, with a lull list of
those who perished aed those who were
saved.
THE NAVIGATION QUESTION.
It will constitute one of the objects of Con
gress to institute a thorough examination into
our system of navigation laws. They were
adopted soon after our government went into
operation, and they have continued to form
a part ot our maritime code until the preseut
day. We have imitated our British ances
tors in this branch of their domestic policy
as in many others of a commercial charac
ter. It was to long Parliament we owe the
origin of these laws. We date the statute
that was passed in '16 as the parent of those
subsequent enactments that constituted the
code of laws to which it is supposed is owing
the maritime power of England.
The entire subject, including the Recipro
city treaty, should receive the careful consid
eration of Congress. The Protectionists will
take our maritime interests under their guar
dianship as they have the manufac
turing interests of the country. The
ship owner has net called on Congress for
peculiar protection, and we hope he will not.
His claim is as good as that of the manu
facturer. The price of the materials of ship
building has been enhanced in common with
all other articles, but he has tried heretofore
to maintain a competition with the European
ship builder by his energy and skill
AccrDBNT Insurance.—We have several
times published paragraphs showing the util
ity of patronizing Accident Insurance Com
panies, where the expenses are very small,
and the benefits, in case of serious or fatal
accidents, very large. Col. Aaron Wilbur,
of the Home Insurance office, agent of the
Travellers’ (Accident) Insurance Company,
of Hartford, just before the sailing ot the
ill-fated Constitution,from Savannah, insured
two of. the passengers against accidents for
one mouth, they paying only two dollars
each. The result is that if, as reported, they
are lost, the family of each will reeeive one'
thousand dollars, payable here or at Hart
ford, as soon as the deaths are authenti
cated.

tailers are helling the same coal at $11 37 1-2
per 2,000 pounds. The difference In weight
nearly compensates them for the expense ot
bringing the coal to the eity and screening

of about $2 on every ton sold.
