I am cordially received by the most fasci

dressed and just about to go forth in search
of breakfast—
“Well, I’m glad I caught you in,” said I
“I want you to go somewhere with me. But
first let us go and get some breakfast.”
“That is precisely what I was going to do,
Did you meet any one as you came in ?”
“No. Why i”
“Why I had a beautiful visitor, who left
me but a few moments ago, and I hardly see
why you did not meet her, as you came iq.”
“Who was she ?’
“I do not know.
A few minutes ago I heard a knock at my
door, and thinking it was my washerwoman,
I said entree! The door opened and in
walked n vision of beauty—tall, dark cyed )
ruddy checked, with a bonnet on, and hand
somely dressed—apparently a perfect lady
from her demeanor. With the best French I
could muster I bade her good morning,
and then offered her a chair. She sat down
in a • very quiet, lady-like manner, and
with an air of easy assurance remarked that
she had received my note, requesting an in
terview, and desired to know what I wanted.
As well as I was able, for I speak French
very little, I explained to her that she was
laboring under some mistake. She did not
appear much disconcerted but sat and con
versed a little awhile, and then withdrew.”

Lorettes are up to nil sorts of tricks!”
That was a nice breakfast we bad that
morning; and it was followed by a pleasant
walk to the Place de Bourbon, where stands
the statue of Liberty, upon which is inscribed
Dieu et Mon Droit, before wbich Madam
Roland passed, and which she apostrophised:
“ O, Liberty! Liberty! IIow many crimes
are committed in thy name 1”
To run up to Mann’s 'apartment took but a
moment. He lives on the same square upon
which stands the Palace of the National As
sembly. He is busy—very busy—on one of
bis letters to the Journal of Commerce:
“ Why did you not come yesterday, accord
ing to appointment ?” was his interrogatory.
“Yesterday ? I was to come on Saturday;
and this is Saturday.”
“No. This is Sunday, and one of my busy
days.”
“What! Is this Sunday ? Have I lost a
day? And have I been moving nbout tho
streets of Paris for four or five hours, with
out discovering that it is Sunday ?”
Such was indeed the case. So bidding
Mannfjood morning, I departed.
Schley and I then deterinined, as it was
Sabbath, to attend the Wesleyan Chapel on
the other side of the Seine, near the Made
leine Church, one of the most beautiful and
artistic structures in the world.
As we crossed tho Pont de la Concorde, we
stopped to gaze. - Far up the Seine rose the
towers of Notre Dame, and the strikingly
beautiful Motel de tille. There, too, was the
Louvre,undergoing repairs, and the men on the
scaffolding at work. There were the washer
women engaged in their occupation. There
were the Garden of the Tuileries and Champs
Elgsees, thronged with pleasure seekers.—
There was the Place de la Concorde where
Cbarlettc Corday.Marie Antoinette, the Duke
of Orleans, Danton, Robespierre, and thou
sands of others were guillotined—most beau-
tifal to gaze upon now, with its fountains >
gilt lamp posts, elegant pavements, and hun
dreds of passing carriages; but terrible scenes
have been enacted there.
We cross this place of fearful memories,
and, through a plain door in a wall, enter an
humble temple. A young Methodist preacher
from Madison, Georgia, has been invited to
officiate, and is sitting in the pulpit. As he
is a Methodist, he feels a sympathy for the
yonng Wesleyan minister from England, and
has introduced himself, and been invited to
preacl). The little chapel is full of Ameri
cans and English, and they gaze with curi
osity upon the Georgian; but we feel our
hearts flutter, and not without reason, for we
know to be of no extraordinary intellec
tual force.
As might bo expected of on English church,
the Book of Common Prayer was used; but,
unaccustomed to its use, our Southern
acquaintance blunders, hesitates, becomes
confused, nnd, shutting the hook, exclaims
“We are not used to this book in our part
of the country; and I will dispense with it
altogether.”
And then he attempts to proceed with his
sermon; but soon he begins to halt in liis
efforts, his mental faculties desert him, be
wilderment takes possession of his soul, nnd
he sits down in utter failure and confusion.
The uudiciicc is dismissed and wc stroll
towards the Champs Elysees, that place of
gaiety, enjoyment and dissipation.
But enough for tho present.
part of the penalty the poor negro had to pay
for freedom. The more political equality
was given or approached, the greater must be
the social antagonism of the races.
In thq South, under slavery, there was no
such feeling, because there could be no rival
ry. Children ofthc white master were often
suckled by negroes, and sported during in
fancy with black playmates. Old enough to
engage in manlier exercise, it was under black
huntsmen the young whites took their fust
lessons in field sports. They fished, shot and
hunted together, eating the same bread,
drinking from the same cup, sleeping under
the same tree with their negro guide. In
public conveyances there was no social exclu
sion of the blacks, nor any dislike engender
ed by competition between white and negro
labor.
In the bed chamber of the planter’s daugh
ter it was common for a negro girl to sleep,
ns half attendant, half companion; and while
there might be, as in all countries, and among
all races, individual instances of cruel treat
ment, he was well satisfied that between no
master nnd laboring classes on earth had 90
kindly and regardful a feeling subsisted. To
suppose otherwise required a violation of the
known laws of human nature. Early associa
tions of service, affection and support were
powerful. To these self-interest joined. The
horse hired for a day may be fed or not fed,
groomed or not groomed, when returned to
the stable. The horse owned by us, and for
which we have paid a thousand or fifteen
hundred dollars, is an object both of pride
and solicitude. His grooming, stabling and j
feeding are cared for. If sick, he is doctor- j
ed, and cured if possible. When at work it I
is the owner’s interest that he shall not be j
over-taxed.

The present Fenian movement for Ireland
was a farce to make angels weep. The last
attempt was in 1848, when tlte population of
Ireland was more than a million larger—the
movement originating at home, and all Eu
rope in a convulsive and volcanic condition.
History gave no example of an oppressed
race that had accepted exile . returning with
success to liberate their native land. The
aristocratic refugees of the French Revolu
tion indeed got back to their country, but
only under the swords of a combination in
which England, Austria, Russia, Prussia, and
tlio German States were enlisted, with their
whole military resources. It wusa mere catch
penny clamor of designing demagogues iu its
cis-Allantic aspect; nor could he see
that in Ireland there was an organization
or even a vigorous purpose to accom
plish the object proposed. England’s con
trol of the seas was absolute, at least so near
home, against any less combination than the
navies of France and America. To land men
in any sufficient quantity in Ireland would
require some desperate sea-fight by navy with
navy, and a transport fleet costing for vessels
and their equipments no less than some hun
dred millions. The men engaged in this
business are either rogues or fools. E# had
no special cause to lore England, nor dislike;
but such impracticable and pigmy threaten-

J. McF. Gaston, late snrgeon of the Confederate
army, of a recent tour be had made through por
tions of' Brazil. No subject, of late, had more
deeply excited inquiry amongst our citizens than
the Empire ct Brazil, and well did the Doctor re
spond in a concise, graphic statement of what he
had seen and authoritatively heard whilst on his
tour.
Dr. Gaston spoke of the Emperor—an enligbt-
eiufd, benevolent, accomplished gentleman, with
liberal views towards emigrants from this country,
and iully alive to the prospective interests bis Em
pire has iu the proper culture of cotton, corn, su
gar, coffee and rice, by experienced cultivators of
these staples from the late Confederate States.—
His high as well as subordinate officials afforded
every lucidly to the emigrant to lind a home. En
thusiasm was manifested, on one occasion, for emi-
grantiou-^a public meeting was held at Klo De Ja
neiro—addresses made by some of the distinguish
ed functionaries of the Government, and practical
tests, of the most gratifying character, giren of a
readiness on tho part of the Brazilians to welcome
the emigrant. The Government is a monarchy—
somewhat on the theory of the British Constitu
tion—having two houses answering to the Lords
and Commons in England to take part in the pass
age of its laws. A fiugular exception, however,
to the British parliament obtains in the Brazil
ian Government. The Barons of the latter win
their places through merit and not through hered
itary blood. A sou of a Brazilian Baron does not.

ter, though their size is enormously large. Gar
den vegetables are not so good or various as ours,
owing, doubtless, to neglect. Lands are offered
to the emigrant at twenty-two cents per acre, on
five years’ time. In most instances requests are
freely made to our Southern States planters to
come simply with their skill and experience in
cotton, with some few of their plantation imple
ments, and for thoir attention on the premises
half the crop is offered. The Doctor saw but
three ploughs in Brazil, and they were held as
curiosities rather than for use 1 The climate is
equable—neither extremely hot nor cold—and the
sammer nights ore more pleasant than here. The
health of the table-land region is. remarkable—
the Doctor passing through towns with several
thousands of inhabitants in which there was no
reii lent physician. Slavery exists there very
much as it did here.
To give any farther synopsis of the deeply in
teresting statement of Dr. Gaston would bo tres
passing, I fear, too much on your columns. In
deed, it is to be hoped that the work be has now
in preparation will soon appear in public, and
afford the people that knowledge their yearnings
so eagerly crave. For candor of statement, sim
plicity of description, interest in the narrative
of his tour, illustrative anecdotes of the kindness
and customs of the Brazilians, the Doctor’s ad
dress was exceedingly attractive, and too short
not to be continued at some future hours, unless
in the meantime, tho book is is&ued which he
promised us. He proffers to take one dollar and
fifty cents for this forthcoming work. However

The following is the call for a National
Union Convention of all the States, to be
held in Philadelphia on the 14th of August
next, a telegraphic summary of which was
published in the Telegraph some days ago,
It is understood to have the approval of
Northern gentlemen of prominence, in addi
tion to those whose names are appended,
and may therefore be regarded as a most im
portant political paper. It is clear and ex
plicit on every point of public interest, stat
ing distinctly the objects of the movement
nnd the terms on which members to the Con
vention will be admitted. We commend the
call to the serious consideration of the South
era people. They will read for themselves,
and then determine upon the course it is
their duty to pursue. For the present, we
are unprepared to advise them :
union national convention.
■A National Union Convention of at least
two delegates from each Congressional dis
trict of all the States ; two from each Ter
ritory ; two from the District of Columbia,
and four delegates at large from each State,
will bo held at the city of Philadelphia ou
the second Tuesday, the 14th ot August next,
Such delegates will he chosen by the electors
of the several States who sustain the Admin
istration in maintaining unbroken the Union
of tho States under the Constitution which
our forefathers established, and who agree in
the following propositions, viz :
“The Union of the States is in every case
indissoluble nnd is perpetual, and the Consti
tution of the United States and the laws pass
ed by Congress in pursuance thereof, supreme,
and constant, and universal in their obliga
tion. U VV
“ The rights, the dignity, and the equality
of the States in the Union, including the
right of represpntation in Congress, arc sob
emnly guaranteed by that Constitution, to
save which from overthrow so much blood
and treasure was expended in the late civil
war.
There is- no right anywhere to dissolve
the Union; or to separate States from the
Union, either by a voluntary withdrawal l)y
force of arms, or by Congressional action—
neither by the secession of the States nor by
the exclusion of their loyal and qualified rep
resentatives, nor by the National Government,
or by any other power.
“ Slavery is abolished, and neither can, nor
ought to be re-established in any State or ter
ritory within our jurisdiction,
“ Eftch State lias the undoubted right to
prescribe the qualifications of its own electors,
and no. external power rightfully can, or
ought to, dictate, controljor influence the free
and voluntary action of the States in the ex
ercise of that right.
‘The maintenance inviolate of the rights
of the States, and especially of the right of
each State to order and. control its own do
mestic concerns according to its own judg
ment exclusively, subject only to. the Consti
tution of the United States, is essential to
that balance of power on which the perfec
tion and endurance of our political fabric de
pend, and the overthrow of that system by
the usurpation and centralization of power to
Congress would be a revolution dangerous, to
republican government and destructive of
lib i rty.
“Each House of Congress is made hy the
Constitution tho sole judge of the election,
returns, nnd qualifications of its members, but
the exclusion of loyal Senators and Represen
tatives, properly chosen and qualified under
the Constitution and laws, is unjust and revo
lutionary. Every patriot should frown upon
all those acts and proceedings everywhere,
which can servo no other purpose than to re
kindle the animosities of the war, and the
effect of which upon our moral, social and
national interests at home, and upon ourstan-
ding abroad, differing only in degree, is inju
rious, like war itself.
“The purposes of the war liaving been to
preserve the Union and the Constitution, by
putting down the rebellion, and the rebellion
having been suppressed, all resistance to the
authority of the General Government ljeing
tion. The lowest class, for degradation, could
rarely lie excelled, but, singular to remark, ho
could not charge them with theft. They sub
sisted chiefly on the spontaneous productions of
the earth, ot which an abundance was supplied
them in this munificent land. They are igno
rant and filthy, and do not “work up to con
tracts.”

Second, I did not prohibit the colored wo
men of Augusta from strewing flowers on the
graves of the Union soldiers, but merely ad
vised them to accept a very kind and concilia
tory proposition from the Mayor of this city
to postpone the ceremony one week, when lie
would open the gates of the cemetery, place
the police force at their disposal, and do
everything in his power to aid them.
Third: Ihave not suppressed the Loyal
Georgian, that paper being issued as usual.—
I simply prevented the editor from publish

have led to violence.
