Hold fast to Your Country.
From the Baltimore §un wc learn
that many of the emigrants from the
United States to Brazil are in a suffer
ing condition, and making efforts —
often, we fear, ineffectual —to get
home. We had anticipated, ,-when
the crude schemes of Brazilian
and Mexican emigration were first
started, immediately after the close
of our civil war, that many who per
mitted themselves to he captivated
by the bright prospects held out to
them would, in the end, be disappoint
ed, and so .expressed ourselves. The
same paper says : We have had ac
counts of individual successes, it is
true, as planters and otherwise, but
they were generally of parties who,
in view of their means and capacities,
would have succeeded almost any
where. To leave this country from
apprehension of certain social and
political evils, and go to lands where
those very evils exist in an aggravated
• nn, could never have been the dic
tate of calm reflection. Notwith
standing all the calamities in which
this once prosperous country lias be
come involved, enough of the elements
of happiness remain to make it the
best laud that an American can live
in. There never has been a great
convulsion of nature or society, neith
er pestilence, famine nor war, which
has not been healed in a few years by
the-recuperative energy of man. A
philosophical historian of England
remarks that the devastating effects
of the civil war in that country was
somewhat effected by the simple
effort of every man to improve his
conditon. However the political hori
zon in the United States may bo con
cluded, the true mariner never leaves
his vessel because of apprehended
danger. There is no country in which
industry is more in demand in every
department of enterprise, or in which
it has a surer reward. Whatever the
political evils, actual or apprehended,
hope is r-till left, and no man should

As it is we are at sea, without compass

Although my promise was only to-write,
you a notice of the organization of flic Amor '
ican District meeting, which met at this
pluee on the 25th in:-t., yet I will write you
again—something as toils progress- end its
close. The meeting or Convention or Con
ference, as you may call i‘,closed late Sat
urday evening, as to its business delibera
tions, but its religions exercises ‘continued
through the succeeding Sabbath, and nltho’
most.of.the ministers and all ofihe lay dele
gater leave on the various trains to-day, for
their respective homes.; the meeting is pro
tractive with the certainty that great good
lias been already clone, aud the prospect
is that much more will he. Probably 100
mourners were at the altar, last night, for
prayer,and a score has been converted, or
renewed in their spiritual life. About, fif
teen members of the body and visiting breth
ren have been in attendance; and they scat
ter through the country to their homes, with
their ow n hearts blessed, their faith increased,
their purposes to do aud get more good deep
ened, and heightened and spread. It is confi
dently hoped and believed,that from this Dis
trict meeting, revivals will ensue all over the
District, and good bedolic that cannot be com
piTtcd until the end of time. It is the deep
and wide-spread impression hero, that God
has greatly blessed this District meeting—
and this new feature of Methodist economy,
in connection with Hint other experiment
no success —the monthly church meeting'—
will give renewed strength and efficiency to
the ranks of Methodism. It may and proba
bly will require a third change or addition to
our older church polity. 1 mean a Bishop
lor each Conference; then the machinery of
Methodism will be, it not perfect, of increas
ed efficiency.
But to return from an episode, that is en
larging into’a boundless field. You may be
anxious to know somewhat of the nature
and work of Church meeting proceedings.—
In this, Committees were ordered on the fol
lowing general subjects: Ist. Upon the
Suite of the Church. 2. Pastoral duties.-
3. Sunday Schools. ■!. Ministerial support
and Church Finances. 5. Domestic Mis
sions and Church Extensions, 6. The Lo
cal Ministry. 7. Church Literature. 8.
The Religious Interest of the Colored Peo
ple, [i. Oa Education.
Then a call of the list of the Station?? Cir
cuits and Mission; comprising this District’
amounting to eleven in number was ordered ;
as cteliappointment "' a,i sounded —first, the
Pastor and then the lay delegates, would re
port their condition, us to (be various de
partments ol Church efforts and interests,
so that the several Committees had all the ma.
teriel afforded them for making up full and
intelligent reports.
The organ of the Church, the Southern
Christian Advocate, published at Macon,was
also represented, by its accomplished Editor,
Dr. B. 11. Myers; the Wesleyan Female
College, at Macon, hv its Professors, Pass &
Smith; Emory College, by its Agent, Rev.
M. IV. Arnold; the Sunday Schools by the
general Agent of the Soilth Georgia Annual
Conference, Rev. J. Blakely Smith.
But I am making this commonieation too

were free and ‘whar were de use of frecin de
cullud pussons if you didn’t free de letters
too, and finely yelled out‘How many stamps
he want, eh ?’ The mail agent said‘three!’
Down went the letter, and down went the
old woman’s heel. ‘Dar! Dar! Dar! Dar’s!
three stamps, dat enuff, eh?’ She was in
angry earnest, and the by slanders were amu

volunteered to pay the money stamp, and
thus doubly stamped the letter was sent to
its destination.

On a branch of the Bast Tennessee and
Virginia railroad, leading from Uugersvillc

it had been announced through the news
papers, that on Thesday, 2Jd inst., Emerson
Bthcridgc.the Conservative candidate for Gov
ernor orTbrmessec, would address the peo
ple at that place, and when the announce
ment reached the village, the Radicals swore
lie should never mount the stand to speak to
a crowd there as long as trusty guns und
men who would use them could be found.-
These threats of repeat'd outrage, however,
failed to move the great Conservative chief
one jot, and he determined upon filling his
appointment, come what might. Every
body anticipated trouble, arid when the day
arrived the profile poured in from all quar
tars, armed with muskets, shot-guns, revol
vers, and other weapons, the Radicals bent
on riot and blood, and the. Conservatives de
termined to defend themselves to the hist;

With one o’clock came Etheridge, and a
mass of not less than five hundred, half of
them colored, gathered about (lie court

There were rumors yesterday of more
trouble at Rogersville, but we could gather
no reliable information to that effect.— Jour,

Bold Talk. —Col. Frank Wolford, who
was one of the bravest and most active
among the Federal Cavalry leaders-in Ken
tucky, during the late war, has come out very
decidedly (or the Democrat?, and in a late
speech at Jamestown, in that State, is re
ported to have used the following language :
“I ever was anj am a Union man, and desire
to see every Slate in our Government repre
sented by a star upon the'American flag.—
Those who are opposeil so this are disunion,
ists and rebels in the true sense of those terms.
If the Radical candidate, Barnes, should bo
elected fairly, I say, let him, take his seat;
and if Helm should be elected, and any pow
er attempts to resist his inauguration, as soon
as the electric fires flash the news through
the country, a million of American citizens
will riscand assert their power and rights,
and I will buckle on my sword, march to
the conflict without counting the cost, and
proclaim to the world that Americanswill be
freemen and not slaves.’ ”
This is bold talk on the part of one who
fought for the “Union” during the war. The
address was received with great cheering by
the large audience in attendance upon its de
livery, and, says the correspondent of the
Roilisville Courier, from which we make the
following extract, “told too plainly,to the few
Radicals present, that their cause was almos l
demolished here aud that Kentuckians were
getting in high earnest”—adding that if the
election was put off a few weeks longer,
Radicalism, even in the mountain counties,
would sink into perlect insignificance.”
One hundred thousand majority is claimed
against the Rad'cal candidate for Governor

GENERAL NEWS.
Mobile. .July 27. —Registration in
the county thus far, betweoi* 1 ROOand
1900, the colored vote feeing about 2
to 1.
A Law of the Bureau. —We
were shown yesterday says the Col
umbus »S 'tin, a paper issued by the.
Bureau Agent at this post, which
takes the force and effect of a garnish
ment oil wages. An employer was
ordered phremptorially not lopaya
negro in Ids service any money which
might be duo him, until a claim
against him might ho settled at the
Bureau Office. There is no law in
Georgia which provides that a man’s
wages can he garnisheed ; so that it is
an entirely new state of affairs in this
section. We record the fact that
freedmen may understand the rulings
at the Bureau office. When a fieed
niun owes another the debtors’s wages
may l>c ordered paid the creditor
until the claim is settled, without
having recourse to courts and sheriffs.
It will bo well for negroes to remem
ber it. The ruling ot the civil courts,
which just now avail little, is directly
the opposite.
The Emperor Napoleon as Viewed
Through a Clergyman's Spectacles.
Rev. Henry W Bellows, now sojourn
ing in Paris, writes that “Napoleon has
a poor walk and an interesting presence,
lie looks care-worn and cold anxious and
reserved. Ilis complexion is pallid, and
his expression deprecatory. There is
nothing to excite enthusiasm in his look
or manner. In private ho is reported as
mild-spoken, amiable and of quick intel
ligence, but his face is both impassive
and unpromising. All tho portraits (lat
ter him.”
The Reason why Negro Suffrage is'.to
iie Passed. —Mack the Wasington corres
pondent of the Commercial:
“Sumner says lie has positive assurance ol
votes enough to pass his universal suffrage
bill next winter. He says it must be passed
before the Presdential election, to secure the
negro vote of Pennsylvania, New York
arid i onneeticut, otherwise those States
will go Democratic.”
How to Pkeseeve Ice. —Make two
bags of stout osnaburg ; the inneronc j
should be ten inches wide by fourteen j
inches deep. The outer bag should .
be made at two inches wider eacli
way. After placing one bag inside
the other, stuff feathers between the
two, and sew the two bags together
at the top. Put a block of ice into a
bag of this discription, arid it will be
preserved from melting for nearly a
week, when under exposure it will
melt in less than an hour. Invalids
and others will find the above article
indispensable for tiie sick room.
