The old lady listened with painful attention. Dropping her knife and fork, and wiping her mouth with the corner of her apron, she broke forth : “Ijust believe this war ain’t over yet. These folks are goin’ to begin to shoot one another again. I’ll tell you, folks, what it is, it Brownlow don’t die soon he’ll go to hell alive.” After which she finished her supper 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 (Impair of the Republic. On the con trary, our young men should cultivate, •as far as possible, hopeful views of the future, and instead of weakly flying from the ugly shapes of the phantoms that confront them, should stand firm, and, by cheerful devotion to the im provement of their individual for tunes, help to restore the .material pi yt't Liiu tuiiiiu j.

Passion is running rile, Radicalism sweeping the land, setting like a pull over the Constitution, as it writhes in its death throes, and yet in ap athy we stand, or in darkness we grope. — Why this lethargy ?

Ye who cry out Convention, and plead fear of “wrath to come,” will yet hear hissed in your ears by an outraged conscience cov ard, PERJURED traitor.

A few more such wit. organization,and reason will again resume its sway. Already signs of tlie coming re-action are evident, and ere ong ;he Southern and Northern democracy id and organized, will yet tear the hands nrottle the Constitution from off the neck of Liberty. But we want instructors, we want men to meet face to face these Rad ical emissaries, and give the be to their base assertions. Radicalism derives its power from its peculiar education, stump speeches, tracts, pamphlets, and even a low order of yellow-back literature has biased public opinion, and guided its action. Wbvshould we not educate the mind to repudiation of talse theories, and teach a reverencefor truth that would scorn narrow-minded fanaticism,- aud ride triumphant over the schisms ofdeni ngoguism. Crops in (he South. The corn crop, in all sections of tlie South, is reported flourishing, anil with one or two more rains we may count with certainty, an abundant yield. The latest telegraphic accounts, however are very unfavorable as to cotton. In Florida, Southern. Geor gia, Alabama, Mississippi ; Louisiana, and portions of Arkansas and Texas, the recent rains have been very inju rious. The cotton worm is beginning to appear, and the prospects are gloomy. And in the upper part of the country, which has not suffered from excessive rain, the cotton was so much retarded and killed out by the late spring, that the yield will probably not "he more than half a crop Ron* l ' f'outi'f Ot Hum n i Pout Vai.i.kv, July .2JA 18C7. Editor Republican 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 long for your columns and readers. As to the Hospitality and refinement of the com munity, it is sufficient to say, Foit Valley entertained us. ns Americus in November last, entertained die annual Conference of tlic Elate.

But, Finis, Dblecate. Ali. London is at the feet of MTIc Chris tine Nilsson, a young Swedish singer, who [ lias of a sudden made almost as great a sen sation as did the Swedish Nightingale, Jenny Lind, a score of years ago. She is descri bed as pale, fair-haired, a little above the medium height, slender in frame, composed and graceful in bearing,” in fact, a very at tractive person. Her voice is pure fresh, bright and penetrating, and her ffyle is remarkably finished and brilliant. M’llo Nilson was first brought out in the Theatre i Lyiique, at Paris, where her success was marked, though it remained (or LBdon to discover what a rare gem the musical world had in her. The Charleston Mercury is responsible for the following: An old negro woman, on Tuesday last, gave a letter to the mail agent on the Caro lina train at a station near Ilrajicliville, and asked him to send it for her. The agent said the letter must be stamped. The old woman became indignant, said the darkies 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 sed accordingly. The agent saw the Joke, volunteered to pay the money stamp, and thus doubly stamped the letter was sent to its destination. The Danger ok Violent Exercise. —The Boston Herald says : The re cent death of a student of Brown University, Mr. Lemuel G. l’erry, was caused by abscess resulting from in flammation of the psoas muscles, brought on by excessive exercise at the time of the University match game of ball between the students of Harvard and Brown, some two weeks since, in which he engaged with great ardor. He had previously been a remarkable healthy and vigorous yotint? man. A Reign of Terror. THE bAoDIIST ISIO* IX TP* ANNALS OF TEN £ KSSKE. Again die soil of Tenrcsee bus drunk deeply of the Good of its persecuted citizens. Again the mi'i Uiyrdonß us Brownlow have bi ought death anil desolation to its peaceful homes, and st-ilfctbcy arc permitted by this great government of ours, to revel on in the carnival of blood Which they have inaugura ted throughout the State, and still the infi?'- motts militia is recognized ns among the “reg ular constituted authorities.” The corpse us the martyred Cody .-rnree grows cold, ere the tidings of a still more sanguinary conflict than that which placed Frankliii in mourn ing, comes to us Irom Bast Tennessee. On a branch of the Bast Tennessee and Virginia railroad, leading from Uugersvillc Junction, is the little village of Itegersviße. It is the capital of Hawkins county, ol about seven hundred inhabitant?, and is distant sixty four miles Irom Knoxville, the home ol Brownlow. Like many other places in Ten nessee it lias its clique ol Radical time-ser vers, who qrc ns hitter and relentless in their hatred Os every Conservative, as Satan is in his hatred ol every good. 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; should they be assailed. With one o’clock came Etheridge, and a mass of not less than five hundred, half of them colored, gathered about (lie court house on the square, to listen to his speech. As lie proceeded. bis terrible denunciation and thorough expedition of Brownlow cor ruption fin and the Radical heart to such a degree, that he bad’spoken hut an hour, when one of his sentences was picked up by Tom King, a notorious partizan, who shout (-1 back. “That’s ad ! lie I” Not knowing who bail flung the cowardly insult into bis teeth, Mr. Etheridge hulled back a wither ing epithet, which he scarce lmd uttered ere a whistling bullet cut the air in dangerous proximity to the place where he was stand ing, and this shot was quickly followed by uthers.il> other .parts of the assemblage- The crowd at once broke, the Radicals mov ing rapidly towards one side of the square,’ shouting and yelling like demon?of thi low er pit, and the Conservatives going In an opposite direction, both parties firing as they went They soon drew up iu position, and the work of death began it) earnest., volley after volley of minnie balls, large an- small shot, and the contents of numberless revol vers, being poured in rapid succession, every round carrying wounds and death into the ranks of the combatants, until they began to waver, break into squads and move from the square, keeping up a scattering fire as they A,u-ly rrtra'-<-Ud, Mr. Etheridge- holding in bis lmml? a re volver, stood firm throughout, never moving an inch from the position he bud at first ta ken. The battle. lasted about twenty minutes,by which time the square was cleared, and only random shots were being fired from other portionsoTflie village. The first man to fall was a white Conservative, a bullet crash ing through hi? brain and killing him instant ly A Radical negro was next, a ball enter ing hie side and passing nearly through him. lie died in a few minutes alter he fell. Seven other persons were mortally wounded, while twenty five or thirty received wounds more .! or less serious. The wounded w e convey |cd to a hotel, here they remained until other means could be provided for their care. It is said the Radical* suffered most, hut we j have leftrnyil nothing reliable in regard to : their 1 ss. As soon as Hie firing’ ceased. Mi. Ether idge left the courthouse and proceeded to his hotel, lie left town by the night train for Sucodsvillc, to fill an appointment there. ' Trouble is anticipated in other portions of East* Tennessee, and in many places the Browniowites have sworn that Mr. Etheridge shall Dot speak, but he will not for a moment shriiik’fi'oni the duty before him. lie will neither he intimidated by their threats nor driven away by their bullets. No gucli meas ures o( the Brownlow despotism can put down free speed) in Tennessee, though backed by all the ragged militia in his despicable ser vice. There were rumors yesterday of more trouble at Rogersville, but we could gather no reliable information to that effect.— Jour, fy Messenger. 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 i if Kentucky, Gen John C.

The countenance of Maximilian is not given to men of ordinary mould, while that of the ex-Em press is as sweet ly womanly asa man would desire to gaze upon. There is a girls rounded softness in the check, and a bivbe’s innocence in ho little mouth and dimpled chin. ]Jut for the clear, open eye, the straight nose arid (inn set nostrils and high i'oiehead, one could not believe that the face ofone whose enthusiasm, great but generous am bition, and intense conjugal love, “Frettod tlio pigmy body to decay. And o’er informed the tenement of clay.” She. bears a strong resemblance lo her brother, the King of the Belgains, hut is decidedly, more intellectual .looking, The face of Maximi'ian is much that ofan Bnglish gentleman, but with more expression of character. Though an Au strian, the head, we should say, is rather of the Celtic type, excepting the great width and prominence between the tem ples. The whiskers are in the English flowing fashion, and light mustaches slightly shadoAhe long upper lip. Phy siognomists would say the nose indicates indomitable courage, and the eyes appear to have a soft, kindly hut absolute light, such eyes as could look into the death dealing rifles of his executioners as steadi ly as into the countenance of a friend, while they’could drop tears for the wid ows and orphans of his doomed followers. To ‘‘look upon this picture and upon this.” Maximilian, upon whom there is the Almighty’s indelliblo stamp of intel lect, the hero’s generosity and the mar tyr’s courage, and Escobedo’s snake head and dog ears, and Juarez’s brutish mon grel face, and think of Queretaro’s field of blood, is enough to make one despair of his kind.
