From Braill.
Recent letters from Rio Janeiro state that
Professor Agassiz has had a continual ovation
from the Emperor and influential men. He
has made a vast collection of objects, and has
left for the Amazon, where the Emperor has
placed a steamer at his disposal. He has al
ready, as he prophesied before leaving the
United States, found the traces of glaciers in
the neighborhood of Riode Janeiro. His ob
servation in Brazil will prove of great interest
to the scientific world. The project of a line
of steamers between Brazil and this country is
fully decided on, as we learn by the following
article from the Correio Mercantile, in which a
deserved compliment is paid to one of our
countrymen:
“The Rev. Mr. Fletcher has again departed
from Brazil after one of those visits to this
country which seem to have iOriginated from
an inspiration of the intense desire and plea
sure that he experiences in benefiting a coun
try which already owed to his comprehensive
and inquiring mind and ready powers of fas
cinating description so deep a tribute of grati
tude for his labors in making known and ap
preciated the country and the people by a
world which, previously to his great work,
‘Brazil and the Brazilians,’ now a standard
work found in every library, had looked upon
Brazil and its inhabitants with such strange
and erroneous misconceptions.
“Mr. Fletcher has enjoyed unexampled op
portunities of becoming most intimately ac
quainted with Brazil and Brazilian ways and
capabilities, for, energetic and enterprising,
and gifted with that rare ‘suaviter in inodo’ 80
dear to Brazilian hearts, he has become a uni
versal favoritejwith foreign and native, with
rich and poor, and from the imperial family,
the deputies and senators to the humblest work
man of Rio, all know him, all welcome him,
and all fire desirous to shake his hand and
wish him God-speed in all his doings.
‘Mr. Fletcher’s late visit to Rio was contem
poraneous with the sitting of the Imperial As
sembly, and bis thoughts and energies were de
voted lo the advocacy of his favorite project" for
the establishment of increased and more rapid
intercommunication between Brazil and his na
tive country, by means of a subsidized line of
mail steamers, a project long proposed by him,
and one which, mainly through his untiring ex
ertions in promulgating knowledge of the advan
tages it would bring, and through the kindly and
personal interest which Mr. Fletcher possesses
with the Brazilian senators and deputies and
with the government, was carried triumphantly
through the short session ot this year at a time
when party spirit ran high and when the minds
of all Brazilians were preoccupied so strongly
with the costly and bloody war they have to Sus
tain with Paraguay.
“Mr. Fletcher therefore returns again to his
native country with the consciousness of having
largely contributed to the successful introdnetion
ot so important an enterprise as the establishment
of direct steam mail communication between
these two great countries ; and we trust that,
mrtv his countrymen are again at liberty to culti
vate and apply the arts of peace and amity, he
will receive at every commercial emporium of
North America sop 1 ! an ovation as will demon
strate their appreciation of the valuable services
he has rendered to the international Commerce.
“We hope that ere long Mr. Fletcher wifi again
visit these shores, and that in the meantime he
will not relax in his endeavors to bring Brazil
into more intimate relations with the Uoited
States and those other countries he may pass
through.”

A letter dated at Panama, Ang. 31st, says :
“A good deal of excitement has been occa
sioned by the government here appropriating
a couple of American vessel* for transporta
tion purposes.
“The vessels were sold here by the United
States Consul, who furnished them with the
documents requisite, as the purchasers thought,
to navigate on this coast, and under which
they have been sailing for nearly two years.—
It now apj ears they had no right to these doc

tection either from the consol' or admiral, al
though the negligence or ignorance of the con

cause of the trouble, and he is generally cen

Covington, Ky., Sept 12.
SIXTH DAT.
The Committee on the State of the Church
made a majority report—eleven of the committee
agreeing. It is as tollows:
Majority Report.
Whereas, Through the blessing of Almighty
God, the lata cjvil war has been brought to &
close, and the iptegrfty of the Union assured';
and whereas, as a result of the war slavery no
longer exists in any of the former slaveholding
States, excepting Delaware and Kentuckv, and in
those states only as a legal vestige; and, where
as, the existence of slavery was the principal
cause of the division of the Methodist Episcopal
Church of the United States, therefore, be it re
solved by the Kentucky conference:
1. That we regard the existence of the Metho
dist Episcopal Church of the United States, in
two sectional organizations as no longer neces
sary, on account of alave^y.
2. That it Is desirhble that the union of the
Methodist Episcopal Churches of the United
States should be effected at as early a day as
practicable, and that the delegates of this con
ference (o the General Conference of the
Church South be instructed to represent to the
said General Conference the sentiments of the
Kentucky Conference as being decidedly in
favor of the union of the two Methodist Episco
pal Churches, upon terms honorable and equi
table, and acceptable te our people; and that
the General Confereoce-be respectfully request
ed to take such action as will lead, so far as
they may be able to effect it, to the organic
unity of Episcopal Methodism in the United
States.
3. That meanwhile we advise our people to
remain in their present church relations, and
to maintain the integrity of their church or
ganization, cherishing the hope that the de
sire of Christian unity, and the conviction of
Christian duty, will be responded to and grati
fied by the action of the approaching General
Conference.
A minority report from two members of the
committee was also made. It was as fol
lows :
Minority Report
While, as a conference, under existing circa in-
stances, we are decided in our purpose to main
tain intact our present ecclesiastical relations, be
lieving 'hat the large majority of ear member-
snip is satisfied and desire no change, and believ
ing any action of this body looking to a union
with another church would be prejudioail to
Methodist and Christian fraternity, by exciting
passion and canting strife, resulting in schisms
and divisions, which are only to be deplored, and
while it is our .purpose to remain faithful to our
people.
Resolmd, That we hold oursc[ves ready to con
sider, tbronch our ohief council, the General Con
ference of the Methodist Episcopal Churob South,
any terms presented it by competent authority
of the Methodist Episcopal Church, as to a union
of the two great co-ordinate branches of Spisso-
pal Methodism in the United States.
?. That we do earnestly maintain our present
relation until such time as the proper authorities
on both sides shall mutually agree on terms of
union honorable, equitable to each of the parties,
and acceptable to our people.

Spiytlsern Merchants in Town Pay
tag «M Debt* Bringing VewTra*
There has seldom, if ever, been a tin;*
when there were mqre Southern merchants in
St. Louis than now. To use the words of one
of our Main street business men, “the city is
full of them.” They come from quarters with
which we have not had, heretofore, direct
hffyine^n relations. A large number are from
Nashville and Mgmpjds aqd othej' points in
Middle and Western' Tennessee, tubers are
from important trading towns on the Arkansas
and White rivers; others from Mississippi and
Western Alabama, and some have come all
the way from Mobile. Their object is to make
purchases, preferring to deal with St. Louis
mefoiiattfi rWher than go to Cincinnati or tfie
Bast,
Some of tbs Southern merchants are paying to
our wholesale dealers debts contracted before the
war, and which the creditors bad given up as
lost. Such conduct speaks volumes in praise of
the probity and honor of , these customers, and
proves them to be men with whom it is a plea-
nre to deal.
Onr business men ought t# improve the oppor
tunity offered to them by the presence of these
Southern merchants, to extend} their operations
jt,o ^*11 parts of the South. The South may need
credit; Vf so, ga ought to aiucord it, in all proper
cases, aDd, in addition, offer yU other reasonable
inducements to stf.ure permanently a ti*de toft

Industry and Wealth at Worceater,

of the industry of the place. From these returns
it appears that there are one hundred and thirteen
distinct classes of manufactures; the shoe busi
ness alone cmploviog a capital of $2,558,000; the
rolling mills, $1,300;000; envelope manufactories,
$142,000; wire manufactories, $1,500,000 and
