INTERESTING READING MATTER ON 4TH PAG X.
IA REFORM NEEDED.
of our Southern exchanges should deal in such
lavish assailance of the North and everything
in it. We are no apologist for the many and
indubitable wrongs inflicted by that section
upon us and have, perhaps, done as much in
the field ns seven iu ten of those who write thus
bitterly, hut, desiring still to consult the good
of the land we love, enter our protest against a
course of action equally inexpedient and impru
dent. The South is now without any Congres
sional representation, "and has none to cither
defend or explain her but the Proas. Shackled
as that Press is, it seems eminently unwise to
still further abridge its mcasuro of usefulness
by devoting to sarcasm, satire, dr vituperation
those powers that have a much more legitimate
and pressing call upon them. The Radical par
ty, it must be remembered, has not only full
sway in cither house of Congress but is also
powerfully baeked up by an able and determin
ed press. In the game of recrimination those
who control that press eau give ns ton to one
and yet be winner, every taunt and sneer, every
seoff and haughty fling from us being j ust so m ueh
to their advantage and our injury.
With the natural feelings of one who, to the
best of a poor ability, constantly supported that
government existing up to some year past in
the.se Southern States, who* was proud of its
glory and sorrowed in its fall, we ure ourselves
not infrequently disposed to heap harsh lan
guage upon the whole of that section whence
oame the armies that overthrew us, and whence
„ now issue so many sounds of insult and so
many threats of wrong. But words,[words,words
we know, are futile. Deeds that made the whole
world stare did not give the South indepen
dence, and shrewish debate will assuredly not
secure her justice. In view of much that we
daily see and hear and feel it is very hard to re
frain from the language of detestation, defiance,
and a just indignation, but it has pleased Prov
idence to impose a very trying role upon us,
aud it is the dictate of dignity as well as inter
est to play that part out in peace, as in war,
with patience, with courage, witli ardour, and
determination. What the South wants now is
not the opportunity of inimitably abusing those
with whom she lately battled, but the restora
tion to her children of those sacred birthrights,
so dear to every one of the old Anglo-Saxon
lineage.
That Sherman at Columbia was Tii.lv at
Magdebourg, or wasted Georgia the wrecked
Palatinate, are matters not now to the question.
History will settle thoso points, giving tho
blame wliero it belongs, and holding up to the
ages a more infallible balance than this genera
tion will spe. But it is to the point that now,
with unflinching purpose, we shall, every man
of us, give ourselves utterly and thoroughly up
to the work of regaining that which Ve have
lost. We are taxed enormously and arc entirely
bereft of representation ; wc are held amenable to
civil rules, and are yet triable by abnormal and
tyrannic procedures ; wc get the cold «nd of
every right, and bear the full burden of every
duty. In this list of grievances is enough food
for thought, enough cause for words, and enough
field for action. The past can give nothing but
experience, but tho future can yield us success,
and it would seem surely aufllcieut to dy-ectour
thoughts, words, and deeds to this one end
only. »
Bm nnother reason why this persistent assail
ance of the North is unwise. Already wc have
said it occupies, to no good purpose, powers
already too much cramped, and not tho less cer
tain is it. that this waste of abilities is not only
foolish prodigality but suicidal iusanity. The
wc speak of, those sharp and cutting
things, these fierce and slashing leaders are,
nine eSfcw iu every tew, made universal in their
application, and wholly undiscriminating In
their hostile animus.
Now once more we have to say that it is from
no Christian spirit of forgiveness that we write.
Unfortunately for us there are sore places iu
our heart wo cannot heal, but we lovo the South
better than wc love revenge, and are willing to
give up the heathen sweetness of the ouo for tho
yet still dearer sake of the other. During the
war this Southern people, (his fervid, impas
sioaod, fiery people, of whom it was thought
they would be as quick iu quarrel as gunpow
der, but no more lasting, evinced in the field
the steady composure of the British grenadier

taxes, to bogus representation ‘from border
States, to much imbecility aud no little oppres
sion—submitted, aud submitted w ith a noble
pationeo that must have made the ungels, who
knew futurity, to weep. What man has done
man, says tho proverb, may do and as Alexan
der Stephens well put it in his late address, the
first duty we owe to ourselves to day, is Pa
tience.
For the Radicals we have no terms—from
Jeffries Chase to Barrerhßumner the vials
of wrath may one and all ha poured upon their
heads —they seek the enslavement of the white
men of America, they stand with Abaddon and
let them have Appollyons portion, but in assail
ing them let such a dear distinction bo made
in terms that the whole people of the North
will not feel themselves reviled. They had
bravo men in their army and they have true
men, and no few of them, now in their midst.
Seventeen hundred thousand Northern voters,
be it remembered, opposed the war, and, were
it only half that number ready now to stand by
Constitutional liberty, they are too many to
make it either just or politic in us to overwhelm
them in one general condemnation. Let epi
thets give place. They are, beyond doubt, ser
viceable at times, hut now is not the season of
their use. Facts and not words are wanted.
The present sentiments and not tho past regrets
of the South need exposition. Tho Issue needs
to be clearly laid before our people—a people
that must be instructed, aroused, organized, en
thused, made to see the work before them and
lezl on in solid column where Freedom points
the way. To do thiß will tax the Press suffi
ciently, to bring our people to a coalition with
every other voting population that will stand
shoulder to shoulder for Constitutional Liberty
will in itself be no easy task ; and, after expo
sition, instruction, entreaty, and guidance,
there will be but scanty room for any bandying
of names.
MR. STEPHENS’ SPEECH.
The recent address of the Hos. Alexander
H. Stephens before the General Assembly of
Georgia is being published broadcast through
the North and West, winning golden opinions
from friend and foe. A few jaundiced Radical
journals, chronically blind to any good that may
come out of Nazareth, assail it mildly on the
score of sincerity, asserting that, however it
may be a fair reliex of Mb. Stephens’ individ
ual sentiments, It is not a key-note of Southern
temper and opinion. From the many criticisms
we have been industriously collating, that of
the New York Titties is selected as most judi
cious and forcible; mainly, too, because this jour
nal is a bow-shot, beyond any Republican organ
in conservatism and a correct exponent of the
popular will. It can be prevented as the most
enlightened precursor of a now party which
will shake the Jacobin pagoda to its foundation.
Mr. Stephens’ speech is intended, of course,
to sink deep into the hearts of his countrymen,
but it is likewise vocal for posterity and aimed
at the intelligence of the North. Wo, who im
mediately surround him, may fail to appreciate
it thoroughly from itsVvery nearness; but the
remote North has already eaught tho magic of
its utterance and those who live after U 6 will
cherish it as the wholesome counsel of a great
man who compromlts no principle but advises
for the best when evil seems insurmountable.
We say that our people cannot properly regard
this speech, because of their proximity to the
artist. How shall this bo better illustrated than
* by the achievement of the old Greek sculptor.
His massive statue, when placed upon the
ground, looked rough and uncouth; but, reared
upon the Parthenon, its rugged outlines were
mellowed by altitude and all its thorough sym
metry came out in the relief of perfect majesty.
So with this memorable speech. The far North
recognizes the divine art, of the master in his
work and, niched in the Parthenon of Time, our
ehildron shall bail It as most worthy among the
grand efforts of our intellectual Phidias.

SENATOR WADE’S OPINION.
The Baltimore Gazette quoting from an Olio
journal demonstrated that the venerable Mr.
IV ade was not always ol’ the same opinion.
Whereat,the Nestor of the Senate waxed exceed
iug wroth, aud taking the Gazette in his topgs-
Hke digits, held it up to execration in the bil
lowing tomahawk style:
Mr. Wade.—l do not associate with people
who ptter such sentiments. I am not at all back
ward in arraigning disloyal people, and I do
not stop to talk about the Constitution cither.
The party witj; v '\ I act has been successful.
Mr. Sumner -« will be again.
Mr. Wade. - Yr>, r. ■' will be again, only the l
war upon the radicals is no war at all; it is a
tempest in a teapot. The great party with which
1 act chained its principles to the throne of the
Almighty, and is as indestructible as He is.
What folly, then, for such miserable copperhead
sheets as this (holding up the Gazette) to assail
us. lam an abolitionist, and I glory iii it, and
you arc all abolitionists because you'ean’t help
it. We have grown from an insignificant mi
nority to have two-thirds of both Houses of
Congress. It will not be one mouth from to
day before every man here, who is not a radical,
will wish to God he was. The gates of hell
cannot prevail against ns. I had not intended
to say a word on this subject, we arc strong
enough, but when such miserable things as this
(shaking the paper violently) issue the base for
geries,l! refute them. Ido not care who assails
me, President or anybody else. They may call
me traitor; I do not care; lamas the eternal
rocks of granite.
Here is a compendium of the Radical creed
and fatality. He “ will not stop to talk of the.
Constitution”—the only thing he was sent to
Congress to talk about and observe. If his
great party is chained to the Almightv’s throne,
it is in the manner of Lucifer. The Gazette's ,
folly must have been of a nettlcsome quality
when it made Senaior Wade kick up such a
“ deuce of a row.” Granite rocks are not eter
nal but very tough. A drill bole and a handful
of powder can accomplish a great deal, even
with the composure of a granite rock. Is any
thing about to transpire to make the Senate
” wish to God it was Radical ?” What do you
mean, Mr. Wade?

THE NIGHT SIDE OF NATURE.
Mr. Lyman Trumbull, Senator from Illinois,
aud an especial champion of the defunct Freed
man’s Bureau Bill, has fulminated before a mass
meeting of his Baltimore friends, very few of
whom were natives of the State, they have out
raged. Like Friar Bacon's brazen head has
he spoken, and the ehymie treasure of articula
ted thought takes the form of a dark hypothe
sis. Mr. Trumbull said :
Had Gerritt Smith been nominated for Vice-
President on the ticket with Mr. Lincoln, he
would now have filled the place of Mr. Johnson.
Now, suppose for an instant, such had been the
case, would not Gerritt Smith have authorized
the negroes of South Carolina to have formed a
State Government—then we should have had
coming up to tho Senate of the United States
claiming scats a couple of negroes—how he
asked, would his democratic friends have felt
And yet, such might have been the ease, and
they would have about the same right there as
would those invited by the President Johnson.
tiuppose the dusky gentlemen had been per
mitted by Providence and— Smith, to make such
application. Would they liavo been denied?
Sfhpposc they had been admitted (always sup
posing Smith and Providence) would Mr. Trum
bull’s scat have been of down or thorns ? A
few more black draughts of this sort and the
condition of Mr. Trumbull’s party will not be

In the Columbia Enquirer, of the 7th hist.,

city has received the following letter from Hon.

this State, the intelligence conveyed being we
fancy, hardly leas grateful to this community
than to the be-ridden people of Odlumbus:
Washington, D. March 2d, 186:5.
Hon. F. G. Wilkins :
Dear Sir : I have had a short Interview with
the President, the Secretary of War and Gen.
Grant, in relation to the removal of the colored

been issued.

also recommends a partial extension of the right
of suffrage to the blacks. At latest dates the
Convention had so amended the State Constitu

bitter, the delegates being either straiglitout
Union men or original secessionists, and i* is
thought the session will be longer than that of
any similar body in the South. In advocating
his ideas of negro suffrage the Provisional Gov

from these premises that “if would be wise to

Reconstruction.— The March of Mind tip
North has lately developed a new adaptation of
an old idea, no other than what, in the ease of
the sterner sex, would ho termed “false calves,”
though, as of vogue now among the fair skater
esses of ye North, we presume should be allud
ed to as artistic distentationa of the lower limb.
“Nice young men," we ilearu from an elaborate
newspaper essay on these distentationa, sell
’em; equally nice “young ladies”—so it is writ
ten—buy ’em and wear them in skatipg cos
tume, with a grace that ravishes all beholders.
Blind to the beauty of the thing, a crusty Nash

principles, sniffs at the iuvention, and declares
that in consequence, the entire forco of New
York female baudyshanks turned out on the

Cotton Seep.— As a matter of great, interest

New Orleans, Jan. 5, 1806.
Editors Mail : The time is rapidly approach
ing when formers will be preparing'to plant cot
ton, and there is one fact which may not gen
erally be known to them to which I wish to
draw their attention, and it is this: cotton seed
which have lain in the lint, unginued, for twelve
months, will not do to depend upon for plant
ing purposes. The majority of planters know
that old seed, which have been ginned the foil
the cotton was picked, are as good, if not better,
than new. This is not the case where the seed
have lain unginned for a year. The lint extracts
or absorbs all the oil (which serves as uutrition
to the young plant) train the seed. It does not
destroy the germinating property of the seed ;
the seed will com 6 up, but the plant will die in
ten days. The writer knows one planter who
lost two entire stands of cotton last year, and
thereby totally foiled in a crop. He planted
seed which had lain unginned for twelve months.
The seed came up and he had a fine stand, hut
in about ten days, off died. 110 planted a second

of vital importance to the planting community,
will not the planters let it be known, if such

Mr. Stephens’ Speech.
The effort to magnify trifling incidents for an
evil purpose implies a corresponding effort to
hide or to depreciate everything likely to con
vey favorable ideas of Southern feeling and
opinion. Exceptional cases are held up as sam
! pics of the whole ; the real doings of the whole
j arc either misrepresented or kept altogether
Cut of sight. This is the course pursued in re
gard to the recent remarkable speech of Mr.
Alex. H. Stephens at Milledgeville. Newspapers
which boast of their “convictions” with the
whine of the Pharisee, and set themselves up on
all occasions as the special exponents of the
Northern conscience, have carefully ignored the
4 views propounded by Mr. Stephens, and have
passed over in silence the fact that these views
have received the formal indorsation of the Le
gislature of Georgia.
If any man in the South has a right to ask a
fair hearing touching the lessons of the war or
the duties which the results of the war have
made urgent, it is Mr. Stephens. Ilis election
as Senator we deemed an unwise proceeding,
because likely to form an obstacle to the rep
resentation of the State in Congress. But the
fitness of Stephens to be the exponent, not alone
of the great body of the people of Georgia, but
of the great body of the South generally, is un
deniable. A representative man before' the re
bellion, he was eminently such during the re
bellion, and is such still, now the rebellion is
ended. What he says, therefore, is entitled to
careful consideration, as well because of his own
ability and character as because of the relation
he has sustained and yet sustains to that great
majority of the .Southern people who joined
the rebellion by reason of State pride and the
heresy of State rights, rather than of any per
sonal dissatisfaction with the Union or its Gov
ernment.
The. circumstances in which Mr. Stephens de
livered his speech add to its significance. It
was not a gratuitous display of oratory, indulg
ed in for the gratification of an obscure village
crowd. Addressed to the members of the Geor
gia Legislature, it was delivered at their requtst,
with the evident intention of conveying to the
country the conclusions arrived at by the State
of Georgia—the. “Empire State” of the South—
whose citizens exercise a controlling influence
upon Southern commerce and opinion.
And what are the views expounded by Mr.
Stephens ? What is their aim ? whatitheir
scope ? what their relation tothegreat question
whieli agitates the North and is the ground of
controversy at Washington ? Os the historical
parallels by which he seeks to exemplify the
disastrous influence of civil war upon popular
| liberty, and the superiority of peaceful and con
stitutional effort for the' redress of popular
grievances, we will not speak. Their practical
value would have been greater if delivered at
Montgomery in 1861, instead of at Milledgeville
in 1866. Aside from these digressions, how
ever, Mr. Stephens talks with a degree of moder
ation and wisdom which wo should be glad to
see imitated in another capital than that of
Georgia. He deprecates sectional prejudice,
and dwells upon the necessity of sectional for
bearance as a preliminary to the restoration of
peace, prosperity and harmony in the land. He
urges the cheerful and unqualified acceptance
of the issues of the war, and the abiding by
them in good faith; adding his conviction that
those whom he addressed, and their constitu
ents, are resolved to discharge the duty thus
devolving upon them. Tho State-rights doc
trine ho discards as unworthy of further no
tice. “The Constitution of the United States,
| a id the treaties and Laws made in pursuance
thereof, are now acknowledged to be the para
mount law jn'tbis whole country.” The prac
tical lessons deducible from this position he
sets foi*li plainly and pointedly. Foremost
among these ho places the duty of dealing just
ly and kindly with the race emancipated during
tlie war. In their ignorance lie secs a reason
for much charity and good will; in their form
er fidelity a reason for present consideration
aud kindness ; in their newly-acquired lights a
reason for adapting the laws of the State to the
altered circumstances of tho time,
i The new system, he tell 3 his hearers, must have
la fair and just trial, and to insure this-“wise
j and humane provisions ” should be made for
! the freedmen. “Ample and full protection
should lie secured to them, so that they may
start equal before the law in the possession and
| enjoyment of all rights of personal liberty and
i property." Upon this point Mr. Stephens
quotes with entire approval language used on a
1 late occasion by Henry Ward Beecher, whose
i statement of the relations of the two races, and
| the duties incumbent upon the whites, he ac
j cepts with a candor which strikingly shows the
i depth of the change in the Southern heart. Os
! the future of the South, Mr. Stephens speaks '
1 with caution, and even doubt. “It is dark and
impenetrable; thick gloom curtains and closes
| iu the horizon al! around us.” His only hope
rests upon the peaceful re-establishment and
j maintenance of the National Government, with
i the Union restored, and paternal feeling culti
-1 rated alike l>y North and South. To this end
j,hc counsels a hearty support of President
. Johnson as the standard-bearer of Constitutiou
| al principles, and as the statesman whose resto
[ ration policy reveals a just appreciation of the
! wants of the country, and the means by which
' its unity and prosperity may bo effectually sc
| cured.
We submit that, utterances like these would
j merit attention were tlieir author known to be
in an insignificant minority ; for they would in
i dicate the oxisteuoo of a healthy nnclone, which
j the Unionists of the North would be bound to
I sustain and cultivate. But. Mr. Stephens’ pori-'
tiou is widely different. His voice is the voice
i of the majority, at least of his own State, as the
■ action of tho Milledgeville legislators sufiieient
\ ly attest. And it is in harmony with iuformn
; tion received from other Southern States, in
i reference to the feeling prevalent there, and the
j good faith with which they, are for the most
| part prepared to accept the issues forced upon
them by the war. In this regard,as Mr. Becr-her
f tn<- aoutnem people are ail we
I «?£?»
j pect them of hypocrisy. Tlieir reticence is
! evidence of self-respect; aud we are disposed
to attach infinitely greater weight to the pro
fessed adhesion of such a people than wc should
be were they more obsequious. There arc bla
tant loyalists in the North whose attachment to
tho Constitution and the Union is of a more
questionable kind than that of (lie converted ex
! official of the rebel Confederacy.
Upon one point, at least, we of tlie Nor*!: may
profitably ponder and digest the words of Mr.
! Stephens. Differ as we may about particular
| measures proposed for the South, the one great
I duty which rests upon all is the duty of forbear
ance toward the Southern people. If they fail
1 just now to meet our expectations in every
thing, let us make allowance for the peculiari
j ties of their position, and invite their further
‘ action by a generous acknowledgment of jvbat
I they are already prepared to do. The Republic
: cannot endure except upon the basis of a com
munity of interest and feeling, and we shall best
promote both l)y interpreting in a liberal spirit
I overtures like these from Georgia.

! Tobacco-Important Manufacturers and
Shippers,
The’following is important to manufacturers
: of tobacco:
Treasury Department, )
Office Internal Revenue, [-
Washington, Feb. 26, 1866. \
By the order of the Secretary of the Treasu
ry, dated February 2, 1866, (Special No. 31,) it
: is provided that, on and after March 1, 1866, all
j Southern manufactures in the possession of the
manufacturer shall be held subject to the pres
j cut rates of duty—no exception being made in
I any ease on account of the date of manufae
j ture.
The reasons assigned for this order are, that
] abundant time has been given manufacturers to
i dispose of the goods on hand nt the time of the
establishment of collection districts, aud that
I lie privileges granted under the circular of
September 14, 186.5 intended for the relief of
manufacturers from duties which, under the
| circumstances, might bear hardly upon them—
j were nevertheless inconsistent with the general
provisions of the law, adverse to the interests
of manufacturers who are paying the current
rates of duty, and susceptible of . very great
abuse. The effect of this order is to place all
j manufactures and productions which were in
i the possession of the manufacturer or producer
; on the Ist of March. 1866, on which no duty, or
. the duty to which they were held liable under
the circulars of June 21 and September 14,
i 1865, on the same footing as like manufactures
| and products were placed by the act of June
J 30,1864, arul to make them liable to the current
rates of duty when sold, or consumed, or used,
i or removed from the place of manufacture.
1. Tobacco owned by the manufocturer on the
[ first day of March, 1866, aud not in bond, al
| though inspect ed, branded and a tax having been
: paid thereon before the first day of March, 1866,
i will not be. exempt from additional tax under
■ the order of February 2d.
j 2. Tobacco which has been shipped by the
: manufacturer in the States lately in insurrection,
| in bond, will not be held liable to any additional
| duty to that conditioned in the transportation
| bond.
3. Tobacco in the hands of a purchaser, (the
! tex to which iSuras liable cither within or with
| out the “insurrectionary States” having been
1 paid,) and bearing the proper inspection marks,
j will not be held liable to any additional tax after
| the first of March.
j 4. Tobacco in the hands ofa purchaser within
I the “insurrectionary stales,” and made prior
i to the establishment ofa collection dis;tic-, and
1 purchased prior to March Ist, I§(i6, will not' be
1 held liable to tax unless transported beyond the
I limits of such State.
5. Tobacco owned by a purchaser and shintx-d ,
, in houd will nor, after the first of March, lie held I
I liable to any additional tax to that conditioned
; i" the transportation bond. In this respect tho
i manufocinrcr and the purchaser, having shipped i
i tobacco in bond, will he regarded alike, and sub- i
I ject to pay only the duty named in the bond
6. Part ies who hold tobacco which (Icy man
ufactured themselves are to be regarded as the :
manufacturers, though they may not now be

Brazil. The collapse |the “so-called" Con

Brazil were formed, wifcxed rules'olguidance,
as if by magic, in eachind svery State of the

With letters of introduction to the dignitaries

also guide and interpreter, and as the guests of
the empire, the general’s party, consisting of
himself as chief, a surgeon," physician and
chemist, a planter, an ardiiteet and builder aud
a machinist, left Rio on steamer on
tlie .lltli of October and landed next morning at
Santos, the seaport of Sin Paulo. There are
two methods of reaching the interior from this
point, one by railroad the other by diligences.
The former is an Enelish enterprise, and passes
over a serra or mountain on which there are
four lifts (a stationed engine at each) of one
mile and a quarter distance each, or live miles
up the niountaiu, at a grade of one foot in nine
feet. The foot of this mountain is fifteen miles
from Santos, and the whole distance to the city
of San Paulo, tlie present terminus of the rail
road, is forty-two miles. The company, how
ever, have a charter through the /entire province
and into Parana. It is a stupendous enterprise,
but tlie Brazilian Government is liberal, and the
company, after years of lalor and the support
of thousands, will pocket its clear millions.—

The clime of Lan Paulo Is the'liealtitst Jn the ■
empire, and its soil is capable of producing, in
grea excellence, all articles hereinbefore men- j
tioned, and—wheat.
It is the peculiarity of the Government or |
Empire that the front yards or lots of houses, j
dwellings,' etc., are used for horse, mule and j
cow lots, the gardens, shrubbery, etc., being in I
the rear, and the entrances at the sides. Even
the Emperor’6 palace, at San Cristovao, Rio Ja
neiro, with its three story pannelled front and
its two story side, has its entrance on the sides♦
The horses of Brazil are small and scraggy,
the mules small, sleek and lively ; the cattle ele
phantine, with huge, wide-spreading horns, and
the ffehides six ages behind the times, copied
from the era of the Bucolics of Virgil. Trans
portation from the interior, of produce, freight,
etc.,, is on pack mules ; in loads of two hundred
pounds or less. The provinces below San Paulo
arc chiefly pastoral, for graziers. and stock
breeders. Those .further north, on the sea
board, produce cotton, corn, tobacco and fruits.
In the interior—four-fifths of whicli is unex
plored—mining, stock raising, etc., seem to be
the-fcpeeial employment of the people. “Pali
encia'' is par excellence the Brazilian motto, and
much time is required injwhieh to do a very little.
The sides of their intent need pricking, and the
Anglo-Saxon is destined to do it.
The scenery of Brazil is both beautiful and
grand, being alternate mountains, valleys and
rolling prairies, with water courses innumera
ble, a vast expanse of coffee fields! huge herds
of cattle, eternal verdure, a warm but even cli
mate, and fruit meeting the eye at every turn. —
l Bue this is scenery, climate country and all. So
let it be.
On our return to Rio we found the Emperor,
Don Pedro 11, who was absent when we landed
in the empire, and hud just returned from the
wars. He is immensely popular, and deserved
ly so. We had an interview with him of near
ly an hour’s duration, and he plied Geu. Wood
| with question after question, seemed loth to
pan with him, and invited us to be sure and
■ call again. Ho shows age, though but forty,
, and is profoundly a statesman. The sights iu
! the metropolis incident to the Emperor’s rc-
I turn, were confined principally to the churches
; and theatres, where crowds followed His Ma
! josty.
The Brazilian Government has promised Gen.
Wood, in his representative character, Govern
ment iands in the. localities he lias selected at
the mininrnm Government rate of twenty-two
rents an acre, payable in live years; good dirt
roads of twenty feet width to the points of lo
cation from the nearest ports or railroads; pro
visions and other assistance towards sustenance
1 and progress Os emigrants until they can he
| established; transportation to their settlements;
i citizenship on taking the oath of allegiance;
■ one vpssscl for every two fitmislied them, and
other privileges enumerated in the early part of
! this chapter.
The liberality and progressiveness of the Im
; perial Government [are exemplified by the eu
i couragcment givqu to railroad projectors and to
| other enterprises and in the rapid strides being
| made in emulation of the United States. Tho
I constitution of Brazil is its fundamental law
I sacredly observed, and republicanism in its de
i tail is its pervading element. There is more
freedom, probably, in Brazil than iu any other
government in the world. It is essentially a
monarehial government with republican insti
tutions.
Slavery will probably last twenty years longer
in Brazil. It is gradually and surely disappear

i hundreds are manumitted. Slaves do not wear

Win axis’ Cigar Ship-Present Condition of
the Vessel—Across the Atlantic in Fonr
Days.
Tlie present condition of the Winans’ “Cigar
ship,” now building in London, and of which
accounts were published a long time ago, is
thus described by the London Morning ticrald:
“The general form of the cigar ship, hie- been,
as her name shows, compered \vitli that of a
cigar, pointed oil at botli ends instead of one.
A*morc homely, but perhaps, more effective il
lustration,' is that of the'unpleasant, hut favorite
plaything of street boys, the ‘lipeat.’ Most of
our landsmen readers will tie more or less fa
miliar with this simple hut ingenious instru
ment of annoyance, and if they wilt fancy a
Brotldiguag ‘eat,’ of slender make, and tapering
to an absolute needle-point at either end, they
will have beforo their eyes the exact represen
tation of the hull of the cigar .-hip. This hull,
which is, of course, hollow, and is formed of
iron, presenting a perfectly smooth and even
surface, supports upon tlie upper side a small
deck, oceuping about half, or something less of
the extreme lrnaWi, the tapering extremities
projecting beyond it at either end. Unlike the
hull itself, this deck is not exactly the same at
each end, presenting a wedge-shape front to
wards the bow, while at the stern it is rounded
offtAmeriean clipper fashion. Above the decks
are seen the funnels, companion-houses, ax.,
hut neither mast nor rigging of any kind what
ever, the only means of locomotion possessed
by the cigar ship being her engines, for which
she can, according to estimate, carry coal
enough for five days consumption. Ifcr ex
treme length is about two hundred and tilty
feet, and greatest diameter about sixteen feet,
tapering gradually, as we have said, to a point,
almost as flue as that ofa needle. The amount
of accommodation is, therefore, extremely 'lim
ited ; and we believe it is not proposed to make
any attempt at carrying cargo of any descrip
tion, but to confine the vessel strictly tostho pas
senger trade. Even then it is difficult to
imagine, after duo allowance for saloon and
sleeping apartments, stores, berths for crew,
what space can be left for engines estimat
ed to work up to two thousand horse-power.
•“ The means of propulsion employed are two
“yge_gcrcyg,/>i,L3 at..either end of the vesael,
***" ver y *nort awtaucc or tnJ
extreinc points, or at a distance or j ~,..
r’mpdred and twenty feet from the machinery,
'flit, propellers are to be of great din meter and
sharp pitch—tlie one pushing, the other pull
ing the vessel, aud each allowing half oi its sur
face above the water. The estimated extreme
i spent is about twenty seven ipile3 per hour. A
! short distance from the propeller, and nearer
to th* ccntro of the vessel, is the rudder- -one
at each end—a broad iron plate like the rudder,
or rather steering paddle, of the ancient galleys.
These are also rather more than one hundred
tent from the steering apparatus.
“Such is the general external external ap
pearance of this remarkable vessel, now almost
ready for launching. In the water her line of
j flotation, according to the model of which wc
‘ have before spoken, is exactly parallel with her
longitudinal axis, tljo sharp point at either end
I being just "level with the surface. Allowing
sixteen feet as her extreme diametert she will
thus be raised in the centre above the water’s
edge; or, with two feet more of bulwark, ten
feet in all. We are free to confess that, with
every-possible desire to believe in the good
qualities of a vessel which promises to bring
us our American news in some three or lout
days, and to limit that dreadful channel busi
ness to which the hour, we are as a loss to un
derstand how, under these, conditions, the cigar
shin proposes to keep afloat.
“In perfectly smooth water we can imagine that
she might, if successfully ballasted against the
; elianee of rolling over and over, ns would be of
' course her natural tendency, make something
very like the estimated speed, though with what
degreo of comfort to ilic passengers, deprived
by the construction of the vessel of all light or
ventilation except such ns can he obtained from
the deck by means of skylights and windsails,
and with two enormous propellers of severe
pitch lashing the water at either end, is another
question. The advantages, fop, of being coop
en up in such extremely close quarters, with au
engine of this enotanous power, may also be
opened to question, even under the most favor
able circumstances.
“But the real difficulties of the cigar ship, as
of most others, must commence with the first
symptoms of a breeze. Imagine a vessel of this
construction travelling nt the rate of five-and
twfcnty miles an hour—the minimum rate, be it
remembered, for the New York passage, on ac
count of the consumption of coal—meetkr -in
mid-ocean ope of the westerly gales "now ’ca
reering across" the Atlantic. In front of her is
a wall of water twenty feet high, travelling at
tlie tale of a dozen miles an hour. Between
them they meet at a speed of forty miles.—
There is no bow to lift her over the obstacle.—
Right into it she plunges, like a harpoon into a
whale’s back, the whole force of the blow being
met by the propeller, which, however severe
may be its pitch, cannot present anything very
flinch better than au almost fiat surface to the
shock- What chance tlifc blades would have of
surviving any very long success ion of such
shocks is a matter of simple calculation, and
one into wlfinh thy engineers have no doubt
fully entered,”

| ' v Washington, Feb. 28, 1866.
| John W. Forney, Esq., Editor of the Chronicle s
! Sir '. Your paper of to-day reports a speech
of yours, made last night at a serenade by a ne
fro band who came to honor you for your stead
ust and bitter Opposition’against President
Johnson and the Constitution and the Union. ■'
In it you use the following langu age: .v
“Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee, receiving
and being introduced to the ragged battalions of
the returned traitors by the counsel and apolo
gists of the assassins of Abraham Lincoln and
the miserable wretch, Wirz, who was executed
a few months ago.”
As I have been the counsel of Captain Wirz,
and as no counsel can ever be held responsible
for the alleged or real crimes of his clients, and
as (even in Russia and other despotic countries)
every accused has the right of defense, you have
iu those words not only attacked one of the car
dinal principles of our institutions, but unmanly
and unworthily tried to poison and incite the
public opinion against one who, never having
done you any harm, has, on the contrary, for the
last twelve years been on friendly terms with
you. And In the same speech, immediately af
terwards, you proclaim yourself a gentleman,
talk of elegance of manners, decency of lan
guage, and eminent sobriety of deportment!
But you did not always think so. When, at
the beginning of the Wirz case, your paper pub
lishcdan abusive article against me for my par
ticipation in that trial, you had still feelings of
honor left: enough to address the following let
ter to me, and for which, at the time, I was very
thankful;
“ Washington, August 31,180.5.
“MyDearßir: Yours of the 30th Instant
reached me yesterday. I would state, iu reply,
that I was intensely mortified when I saw tho
I translation from the German paper copied in
! the Chronicle, and while I was writing you a
i note, my cousin, Mr. D. C. Forney, called upon
| me to express his own regrets. I have since
; conferred with him on the matter, and will he
! greatly obliged if yon will call upon him, when,
j I have no doubt, a satisfactory explanation will
take place.
“Reciprocating your kind feelings, I remaiu
yours, truly,
“J. W. Fobnet.
“Lot i* Schade, Esq.”
Then you were “intensely mortified” that
your paper published something which you now
proclaim in your public speeches! Then you
did not believe it to boa contaminating crime
for an attorney to defend an unfortunate mao,
an unfriended foreigner, charged with the most,
terrible crimes.
But, alas ! since you have received your re
cent degree of D. D. everything seems to be up
side down with you. What you considered, a
few months ago, to be improper and unworthy
of yourself, is now eagerly sought by you. A
kind of mania to get rid as quick as you can of
your friends seems to have taken hold of you.
Therefore, you daily insult the citizens of this
District, many of whom were associates in your
better days, applying all kinds of choice epithets
from your “Gentlemen’s” voeabularv. Really,
a sorrowful spectacle !
After enjoying in turn for a long time the
confidence and patronage of Franklin Bierce
and James Buchanan, you turned against them
in the most abusive and ungrateful manner
possible. The worst net of Buchanan’s Admin
istration was the letter he sent to the Pennsyl
syivnnia Legislature, urging your election to
the United (states Senate. You did not succeed,
and therefqre abused him. Now you have tried
the same game with Andrew Johnson, but, un
like his predecessors, he has not submitted to
it,, and by the mere pronouncing of two letters,
winged yoYi forever. Hinc i!l<r laehrinue ! You
now whine and cry, and as nobody else will
listou to you, you have to seek among the ue
groes your associates and friends. But 1 warn
the latter to take good care lest you should
treat and betray them as you have done your
white friends. Fickle as you are, 1 fear'that
love and friendship will not last verv long.
You assert that I “introduced the President
to the ragged battalions, ” (meaning our most
respectable citizens.) As you were probably
not present on that, for you, ever memorable
and interesting occasion, I will merely, and
with all politeness, inform yoo that I have not
the honor of “ introducing the President to the
ragged battalions, ” and though present, was
not within-two hundred yards of liim, when lie
gate you a life membership in the great order
oi 1). D., something which I could not help ou
account of the immense number of the “ rag
ged battalions. ”
But even it I had had the great honor, lam
sure that Andrew Johnson would not have been
ashamed of it, not only because he has known me
tor years an a faithful friend, but also because
lie docs not think it beneath his dignity to he
kind to every one who, no matter how humble
in life, approaches him with respect and sincere
friendship.
Yon call (.'apiain \\ ir/. a miserable wren !i
Whatever may have been his faults—and he is
dead now lie had one virtue which certain per
sons do not seem to value—he was true and
faithiul to his friends. Two' hours before bis
execution life was offered to him if he would
implicate others, tint lie spurned the idea of be
coming a liar and a traitor, and died. Would
you have done the same ?
As I know you to bepvell versed in the Penn
rylvaniu Dutch jargon, 1 conclude with the fol
lowing old and quaint saving of “ AuuscKlag Ist
rerhoten aher If' ictlerschlaq niche," and remain,
most respectfully, your obedient servant,

Messrs. W.m. B. Smith & Company : Gentle-
I men : Since the burning of our Institution by
tho army under General Sherman, and the eon
! sequent dispersion of our pupils, wc have been j
reduced to abject poverty. The consequences
have been fearful to us, and until we can re- I
build a house sufficiently large for our pur- !
poses, we shall be obliged to deny ourselves j
j many intellectual enjoymeuts.
I At present wo are living in a country iiouse
; three miles from town and endeavoring' to col
lect around us the nucleus of our Academy, and
will strain every nerve to rebuild our Institu
tion as soou ns wc can collect the means.
To aid us in tliis we solicit the interest of nil

Very respectfully, gentlemen,

come so common that the Chicagoan manifests
I no surprise when he finds a strange pair of fin -

, kicked in the shin by a legless foot when de
! seonding his front door steps. A straneq head,
i without body and titnlis to match, grinning
j frr,m hi 3 desk, would occasion nothing further
than a request to the porter to “tumble that
piece of man out of doors,” after extracting
his teeth for the rent of desk-room.
