News Items.
By the late arrivals we have some chol
era news. It seems to be retreating back
to its native place—lndia. The deaths in
Constantinople have been fearful in num
ber. One thousand a day are said to have
died; 200,000 people fled from Constanti
nople. At Barcelona the cases averaged
12 a day, or 115 in the city; 50,000 have
left. At Malta, the Press says :
The Mussulman population nightly per
ambulated the streets, chanting hymns and
prayers for the averting of the scourge.
Among the Greek population the fright
has almost resulted in a famine, bakers re
fusing to make bread, butchers to kill
meat, aud grocers to sell provisions. The
panic among the masses ot the people is
out of all proportion to the dauger. In
Ancona, and other places on the Adriatic
where it prevails, it is very fatal, and of
those attacked, more than half have died.
There are in Berlin twelve thousand
cellars inhabited, in six thousand three
hundred of which different trades are car
ried on. The thirteenth part of the pop
ulation, or forty-six thousand persons, in
habit those dens.
The Valparaiso (Ind.) Republican says
that potatoes are rotting in almost every
part of the county, and it cannot be told
to what extent.
The population of Indianapolis is esti
mated at 50,000.
The Fenians are to have a State Con
vention in Indiana on the 4th of October
next. All the societies, it is expected, will
be represented.
Mrs. Alice Coortman, a resident of Ob
servatory street, has been in the habit, for
some time past, of taking carbonabfobf mag
nesia to allay or neutralize thapeia in her
stomach. On Tuesday, she requested her
husband to purchase some arsenic to de
stroy rats. He purchased the arsenic 4pd
placed it in the same drawer where was
kept the Magnesia. On Tuesday night
she went to the drawer and took the arsenic
in mistake for the magnesia. Medical aid
was immediately procured, but she died
early yesterday morning. Coroner Carey
held an inquest, and the jury returned a
verdict in accordance with the above facts.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
The Chicago Republican, in noticing the
call of the Radical Republicans of Wiscon
sin for anew State Convention, denounces
the half-hearted, timid policy of their con
servative brethren, and adds:
The Republicans of Wisconsin refuse to
allow the “vital issue” to be ignored, and
are resolved to oppose the President, and
“fight it out on that line.”
“Fight it out” by voting for the ticket
made by the conservative brethren, who ig
nored the “vital issue,” refused to de
nounce the policy of the President, and en
dorsed his patriotism ! Bah !

From Brazil.
- Rio Jan Kino, Aug. 8, 1805.
Just as Brazil was congratulating the
people of the United States on the suc
cessful termination of a cruel war, she
finds herself involved in one which is call
ing forth all of her energies. Her terri
tories have been invaded by a host oi
semi-barbarians, who have committed most
cruel depredations in the provinces of
Matto, Grosso and Goyoz. But the just
ness of her cause has found her friends,
and the too sanguine Lopez has received
a check by the combined force of Buenos
Ayres, Montevideo and Brazil.
The Emperor is off to the seat of war,
followed by the Oonde d’Eu, who arrived
from Europe in the last English packet,
together with his consort, the Princess D.
Isabella.
The mail from the river informs us that
the Emperor, after visiting the troops in
Rio Grande, set off for the frontiers to
have an interview with Mitre and Flores.
The Paraguayans are in great forco on
the right bank of the Uruguay, and Flores
is marching to meet them, while General
Caldwell, with the Brazilian forces, is ad
vancing to cut off their projected descent
into Rio Grande. The disaffection of Ur
quiza’s troops could not have been com
plete, as he has had an interview with
Mitre, and was well received. Lopez’s
steamers have been worsted in a tight
with the allies, and those that remain are
lying under the protection of a formidable
fort in the Paraguay river. The ram
which has just arrived from France will
soon leave Rio for the seene of action;
but as she draws sixteen feet of water, she
will bo accompanied by one built here,
drawing only eix feet, nearly ready for sea.
Another is on the stocks still more heavi
ly plated, aud of light draft, being intend
ed expressly lor the river Paraguay?
When the call was made for volunteers
it was responded to most patriotically;
but the material was not of the best
quality, and as none were rejected, you
may imagine the distress of a set of weak
creatures from the Northern and warmer
provinces on their arrival in Rio Grande
in thhynclement season.
r uHnperished by hundreds, and the
news of this led the Emperor to visit the
to make some sanitary im
proveiH and to assist, out of such a
heterogetyms mass, in making an efficient
army.
An edict has been published to-day de
claring the draft in force, but calling upon
the national guard to volunteer. Married
men with children and widowers with
children are exempt from the draft; but
persons holding government situations, and
who are liable, will be drafted should they
not volunteer, and can never hold any sit
uation afterward under the government.
The manner of drafting is this: Officers
of different grades are stationed on the
pavements in the principal thoroughfares,
attended by a guard, mostly of a sable
hue, and challenge all whom they suspect
to be legitimate game. Likely lads of the
Portuguese nation, who are not provided
with protective documents, are marched
off instanter. The eagle eye of the officer
enables him to select his game, and Eng
lish and Americans are seldom interfered
with.
The Monoga, which arrived here yester
day, two and a half days from Bahia, will
have to remain some days in port to get
provisions, as there is not a barrel of beef
or pork in the market, having all been
bought up for the transports at enormous
prices. The Wachusetts is in the same
predicament, and it is supposed she will
go to Bahia for provisions.
The smallpox has been prevailing in this
city, supposed to have been introduced by
volunteers. There is a great scarcity of
good vaccine matter in the city, but twice
a week medical men are in attendance in
a government building in the Campa de
Acclamacao to vaccinate all who wish it.
Name and residence of each is entered in
a book and a certificate given enjoining the
bearer to return to report the effect after
eight days, and such as arc chosen serve
to vaccinate others.
Rows of black nurses, with white sleep
ing infants in their arms, make quite a con
trast to that part of the building where
the operations are going on, and where
such a squalling is kept up as makes it
quite a relief to gain the open air.
The police have been for some time on
the track of some counterfeiters, and have
finally captured the principal individual,
together with the plate, press and other
appurtenances, besides eighty-five thousand
milreis in twenties on the bank of Brazil,
white, and of the third series, well exe
cuted. Now, the question is, how did
they obtain the paper ?
The doorkeeper of the Convent of St.
Bento had a few on his person, and con
fessed to ten thousand milreis more in his
cell. Their destination will be Fernando
Novonho.
The City Improvements Company are
bringing the drainage of the city to a close,
and when that,with the paving will be com
pleted, Rio may boast of being the Queen
City of South America.
* The Missouri emigrants have proceeded
to Parnagua, in the province of Parana,
there to form a nucleus of a sort of Amer
ican colony. They may expect to find
some sympathy for their pro-slavery senti
ments; but in this they will be mistaken,
and will find that Brazilians look upon
slavery as a great evil, but an institution
that cannot be suddenly done away with.
Several plans have been projected for
gradual abolition, but none have been yet
adopted, and it is to be hoped that it will
take place without the violence which mu
tual antagonism brought about in the Uni
ted States.
We have cheering news from the coffee
districts, the caterpillar having disappear
ed; and as the railroads are extending their
beneficial influence into the interior, more
land is taken up and the cultivation of cof
fee increases in proportion. Mr. Van Vleck
Lidgerwood is here looked upon as quite a
public benefactor for having introduced so
much machinery into the country-of his
adoption, and even the English who have
cause to be jealous of some Americans who
settle here, feel themselves to be gainers,
as they can only sell just as much mer
chandise as there will be coffee to pay for,
and his prosperity is identified with theirs.
Mr. Lidgerwood is quite a favorite -with
all, and has become a member of the socie
ty for the encouragement and assistance of
industry, of which the Emperor is patron.
Mr. M onroe, our Consul, has gone home ]
on a visit to his family, leaving Mr. Henry
Milford in charge, and he could not have
pleased us better. Under. Mr. M., and
the obliging and active Oordeiro, things
work smoothly.
The police having protected the Ameri
can missionaries in their worship, they now
hold their meetings with great regularity,
and they are about to establish a Sunday
school.
The culture of cotton does not progress
as predicted. A gentleman who resided on
the estate of Jeff. Davis two years as physi
cian, commenced on a small scale a few
miles from Rio, but has abandoned it in fa
vor of sugar, as being more remunerative.
However, there are districts where cotton
will have the preference, far into the interi
or, where it will be made into ooarse goods,
for the manufacture of which American
machinery will bo some day in great de
mand.
Roberts and ilarrah have gone to the
United States, leaving Mr. Jacob Humbrid
to finish the great tuunel which is approxi
mating its completion. Report says that
Harrah has gone to build iron-clads for this
Government and from his experience and
activity much is expected. The two iron
clads which are building here are of French
construction, aud have yet to be tried. The
present Minister of Marine, Senor Saralva,
is a very active, intelligent and worthy mao,
and Brazil could not entrust the improve
ment of her navy in better hands. He has
given Mr. Henry better conditions, that bo
may proceed with the second dock, and give
in plans for a third of larger dimensions.
Much credit is due to the indefatigable
Fletcher for getting the bill passed in favor
of the American Hue of steamers, and the
company are much indebted to him, and
ought to reward him handsomely.
The arrival of the first packet will cause
quite an excitement, pro and eon. The
Brazilliaus hope that it may lead to a greater
unity of tho two countries and to the wel
fare of both. Other parties predict a fail
ure of the scheme, and as it interferes di
rectly with their interests, they cannot look
upon it with a favorable eye; but to use ft

Noil S. Brown on the Situation.
This distinguished Tennesseean, at the
meeting held in Nashville on the 23d inst.,
was called upon for a speech. The Nash
ville Gazette gives the following report:
Neil S. Brown having been called for, ho
took the stand, aud said he felt some deli
cacy in taking a prominent part in the pro
ceedings of the meeting. The resolutions
met his hearty concurrence, and he intended
to give President Johnson h?s hearty sup
port.- Let tho past pass away; to history it
belonged, and to history he commended it.
If he could show that the South was right
and tho North wrong, or vice versa, what
effect would it have ? It would not bring
to life the thousands of bravo men who had
died in maintaining their opinions, nor
soothe the sorrows of the widows and or
phans. Our duty now is to set to work and
repair, as far as possible, the damage sus
tained, and to kindle in tho minds of the
people a patriotic feeling. Many had lost
wealth, but what of that? The conflict,
over which ail mourn, is ended, and be has
yet to sec the man engaged in the rebellion
who is not heartily in favor of harmony and
good will. There may bo, and doubtless
arc, dissatisfied persons, but their occupa
tion is gone. The Government of the
United States must be sustained, ardently
and honestly, and ho rejoioed that Presi
dent Johnson promises to pursue a policy
so wise, broad, and patriotio. Let us not
despair. We may meet hard oases, bat let
the machine ruu ou. We already begin to
sco tho light cf day breaking around ns,
and all will sooa be at peace. The Presi
dent has issued his amnesty proclamation
and is granting pardons to those excepted.
Let each of us pass an act of amnesty and
forgive all who have injured us. Every
man who has a soul big enough to bo saved
should forgive and be forgiven. If the
thousands who have fallen on the field of
battle could rise from their graves, they
would say—Live in peace and harmony.—
No man ever found fault with the Govern
ment ot the United States—it was the best
government on earth, and he intended to
support, it, hoping it will live as long as
government may be needed among men.
lie rejoiced at the prospect of peace, and
advised the people to work, work, work;
give the Government a hearty support, and
do it cheerfully. Let us be trne, honest
and faithful in all our relations.
New Order from Secretary McCullooh,
The following important circular, relative
to Southern trade, was issued Monday by
the Secretary of the Treasury:
“Treasury Department , Sept. 18, 1865.
—ln the circular issued by this department,
on June 21, 1865, reference was made to
the provision contained in section 47, of the
Internal Revenue Act of June 30, 1864,
conferring upon the Secretary of the Treas
ury discretionary power in regard to the as
sessment, levy, time, and manner of collec
tion of taxes in the States lately in insur
rection.”
Under the authority given by that section,
it was then stated that the department with
out waving in any degree the rights of the
Government in regard to taxes heretofore
accruing, would not insist at present upon
their payment, so far as they were payable
prior to tho establishment of a collection
district embracing the territory in whioh the
tax payer resided.
Ic was further provided that manufac
tured articles found in the hands of a pur
chaser, whioh were satisfactorily shown to
IPave passed from the manufacturer before
the establishment of the district, should not
be subject to tax, unless transported beyond
the limits of the State lately in insurrection.
No exception was theu made in favor of ar
ticles which had remained in the possession
of the manufacturers, and thus beoome lia
ble to the tax imposed by the existing law.
The Department, preferring to test the
practical working of the regulation before
exercisiug its power of modification in this
important particular, representations since
made relative to the hardship of this dis
crimination between manufacturer and pur
chases have been corroborated by carefn
inquiry, aud induce the conviction that ft
further exemption is justifiable and advisa
ble.
It is found that considerable quantities of
manufactured produets have been retainec

by the manufacturer in bii own bands as the
safest mode of investing his property until
the return of peaoe; that this ralsatisa was
determined on, and oarried eat without Ik*
knowledge or opportunity of knowledge of
the law subjeotiog this property la heavy
taxation on sale, and that a large part of the
manufactures so retained having been nseh
deteriorated in value by the lapse of time
and want of proper attentioojwould not new
sell for a sum equal to the tax.
A state of things so destructive to the
usefulness of property and to the prosperity
of the manufacturing classes is as adverse Is
the integrity of the Government as Is those
of tho community. For these menus, it is
hereby oidered, that all articles, is whatss*
ever hands found, wbieh can ho shown In
the satisfaction of the assessor to have boon
manufactured before the establishment sf
the distriet, shall be held free from the psm
ent assessment or collection sf tax, salens

late in insurrection.
Manufacturers of articles liable to ssisnrs
for want of inspeotion marks will present Is
the assessor evidonce that saeh articles were
manufactured prior to the setsblishmont of
thedistriot; and the assessor, if satidUd,
will cause such articles to be as marked as
to be identified and sold without liability Is
seizure. •
All articles transported beyond Ohs limtls
of the States lately is insurrection will ha
subject to the tax due under the law in form
at the time they were manufiMtsrsd.
