Emancipation in Bkazil—The last nevs
from Brasil possess es a good deal of interest.
The question of imancipuii.m—once or twice
before discussed in that cou.uluy-hns again
oorne up, find thin time appearances are that
the subject will receive favorable attention irom
the Brazilian Legislature. Tim in -vern *at for
the abolitiou of slavery in thr-.t section has
been inaugurated by two prominent H outers
who offer :v series of artioles, 111 < renin previs
ions ol which are that vn. ruitfluves t-hall no
longer bes >ltl to new masters, but shall bo
free if not claimed in throe ninths.; that
slaves sh ill no longer pass by inheritance;
that in ten years all slaves over twenty-live
years old shall bo five ; that in tiiteeu jfars
slavery shall cease to exist in 1> aail, and that
provision shall ho made in every parish for
ibe aged and infirm.
It is estimated that there aro about three
million slaves in Brazil, The institution ex
ists in every part of the Empire, and the vast
majority of the laborers are slaves. They coo
stitute about one third of the entire population
ot the country, Tho movement of gradual
•mancipation it is said ori.; mated with the slave
owners themselves. The Emperor favors the
project, and the white residents generally look
upon the scheme as feasible, and consider the
oountry ripe for the proposed change in their
labor system. Foreigners residing in the Em
pire are prohibited from.u<.qniriug ov owning
slaves ; these of this cla? owning slaves shall
be obliged to dispose ot tin nr villain two years,
under paiu of having them declared roe. The
•lave trade, which way formerly rurried ca to
•one extent, entirely ceased long since, and
there is no probability of its renewal. This
measure was effected by (he }1 rs ; ii..n authori
ties solely, without uid or ii.ilnenco from ahy
foreign government.
In tliis Brmriliau movement is to be traced j
the influence of cur uf#n recent example in ihe
•bolition of'‘ibe institution.'’ It v, :il be an
interesting spectacle to watch tho re all of the I
bringing forward of the proposed laws in their !
Legislature, and ii they are adopted, the
•working ot the system of gradual emancipa
tion, which is tho guiding principle of those
laws.
KwiTrewT.— The E -atueky election has pro
bakly reunited in the choice of five Uni n and
four Democratic or Conservative members of
Congress. The State Senate, it is supposed,
will oontain a majority ol D 'mocm'io, and the
House of Union members. Tee real is ;e was
upon the slavery question, parties having di
Tided without much reference to ancient: ISda
lions on the issue of emancipation. Abhor <.h
the anti slavery rasn have not gained a victo
ry, they have approximated ro nearly to it.
•nd made such an impressive, dvmsnstration
•f strength against old pro slavery laws and
•entiments, that it now looks as if the aboli
tion of slavery ia Kentucky was merely a mat
ter of time.

AUGUSTA, GA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 30, 1865.
i White Labor in Tfxvs.—la conversation
with an intelligentT< xan some time since, in re-,
gard to the productive capacity of Lis State as
far as cotton alone was concerned, he said that
i he thought five million bales could he easily
raised in it yearly, if all its rich soil was put
under cultivation. Some may think this an
| over estimate. We do not.
I'bus never been pretended that a while
i man could not work in Texas as a laborer, ii
;he would. Little colonies of German emi
i grants, scattered through every county, have
; aiready engaged with success iu the cultiva
\ tion of cotton, without hired or purchased ne
! gro help. In on instance we are told a Ger
man family (V tea have raised aonualiy, by
their own labor, a laiger crop than the forced
production of forty bunds oa an adjoining
plantation. Whatever may In the conditions
of other sections of tbo South, it is evident that
Tex *s is bound to bs a great and wealthy
State. Within its borders can bo raised all the
products of #vury clime. Its soil is rich. Its
forests abound in valuable timber. Its moun
tains contain hidden stores of mineral wealth.
Its immense plains will tuftiish for ail time
abubdant grazing for cattle sufficient; to sup
ply the markets of this great counlry It
has sec*port enough for its commercial pur
poses- In short it has within itself a!i
tho undeveloped elements of wealth and
pr;,-»periiy. Texas to-day off ;rs to the enter
prising emigrant, chances lor a fortune more
promising than the go’d fi ids of a Colorado.
Thk Contention.—As yet there seems to be
but lil'le interest taken by the pc-opreof this
Htate in the coming Convention la many
ecciions, not even candidates have been named.
No body of more importance ever yet assem
bled in Georgia. The-prosperity and welfare
of this commonwealth depends upon its acion.
No select party should control its deliberations.
It should be composed entirely ot men who look
to the interest of Georgia, without reference to
any class whatever.
Oar future condition will be much affected,
cither (or better or for worse, by the course
pmsoed and the policy adopted by the Coming
Convention. Ike members of that body must
make up their minds to unequivocally support
hereafter, and to bind the people of Georgia to
support lire constitution of tho United States
In all its parts, and tb#laws passed by Congress
in accordance therewith. The exigUfig laws cf
our country aro of that character jind any rep
resentation made to the contrary is made by
demagogues who desire to deceive and mislead
tho people,
Richmond county has an abundance of able
men. Care should be taken to select from the
number, delegates who will do honorto them
selves, to tho section from whence they are
sent, and to the State. There can be no excuse
for having the county represented in the Con
vention by any but men of character. Men who
will eweive DeitLer to the right or to tho loft.
Men oi judgment and discretion, who will
spurn all plans which do pot tend to the best
interest of the entire State.
Matters in South Cauouna.— From all the
accounts we see in tho Northern papers of al
fiiirs in South Carolina, wiitten by correspon
dents who have trayeled through the States,
and who seem to bo well posted, it seems as
if there was trouble brewing. The coming
Convention, it is said, will bo m ide up of men
who were oiiginally opposed to the Union,
and some of whom yet entertain hostile views
to the government. The letter writers say
til it measures have baeu taken “to exclude
from that body, soon to moot, the Union men
of ihe Slate.” One paper iu speaking, of the
matter says ;
The old Union men--those wLo claim to have
loved their whole country, who never locked
upon tho national banner aa “a symbol of op
pression and tyranny,” who have known ‘‘no
. East, no West, no North, no South,” who have
refused by any and every method to lift up
iheir arms against their brethren —are to be
excluded Irorn the councils of tho State and na
tion.
V/a sincerely hope there will be do trouble
in South Carolina. Bat as the datlc angry
cloud portends the coining storm, so does tbo
threatening aspect of the political heavens in
some of the Southern Slates forebode much
evil.
Slay good counsels yet prevail and dispel
the deepening gloom which now over shadows
the hopes of every true patriot.’
Nominees r.n the Convention. —We
notice that certain parties in Burke comity
nominate the annexed gentleman for the Con
vention fr m that soctiou—J. V. Jones, W. D.
Wimberly, Quintillian Screen.
We have not the pleasure of ail acquain
tance with either of the partita referred to
We are not well posted in regaid.to ih -ir polit
ical antecedents. We wish seme cue well
informed would furnish us with them.
If the original Union men of Burke county
are satisfied with the ticket, all right. We
have nothing to svy. If they are not, then
let them nominate a ticket of men whose
principles they know to be correct, and put it
before thu people upon a straight Union plat
form.
Nme but original Union men should bo
voted for for the Convention by Uaion men.
They should be run upon Union platforms.
hen the Washington authories and the rulers
plaeed over us in this State cau see what tho
public feelings is and govern their acts there
by.
Patting the interests and welfare of tld3
great commonwealth into the hands of men
who were originally anti-Union, will not
answer. It will be suicidal so to do. Now is
the time for the Union men of Georgia to be
ion their guard. To be up and doing.
Thick; of Gold Diking) the War Refer
ence to a tabular statement of the highest and
lowest prices for gold at the North during the
war we learn the following: In ISC2, the
highest rates for gold was 160, in December o-
year ; the lowest, 101, in March and April.
In 1863, gold sold as high 1725, in February ;
as low as 129| in August. In 18G4, It reached
-8- in July the highest point it has ever at
t lined, end sold at 151 in January. In 1865,
the year began with 231$ ; lowest rate, 128$!
It now fluctuates between 140 and 145, accord

thus :
