President Doolittle's speech the audience i
maintained most remarkable silence, every ,
word uttered was heard with the utmost ■
distinctne- in every part of the edifice, |
and a glance over the sea of upturned laces
revealed the intense interest of the lis-1
tenors, and fold that the speaker had
touched, with the artof a master, the chords
of sympathy. [Tremendous cheering—long,
prolonged—greeted the orator as he took
hi* seat] The band then played the 'Star
Spangled Banner, while the countenances:
and gesticulations of the members, plainly
indicated the satisfaction with which they
received the sentiments of the orator.
The President invited the Vie -Presi
dents and Secretaries to the Platform,
who moved forward to tle-ir scats, while
the band played “Tramp, Tramp.’ gen
eral Steedman then reported from the
Committee of < 'rodent ini that there were
no contested seats before the Committee,
save from Maine, Delaware and Nov,
York. The contestants were admitted to
honorary seats in the ( onvention, upon his
motion under the previous question, and
the whole matter adjusted to the satislac
tion iif all parties.
When the names of the Committee on
Resolutions were announced, those oi
< lowan, of Pennsylvania, Graham, of Non.li
Carolina. O. If. Browning, ami others,
wore loudly cheered. \\ hilo the list was
being rectified, Hon. Ihomas Hardeman,
of Macon, aro ■ and claimed the attention
of the Chair. As the President announced
“The gentleman from Georgia,” the whole
audience arose and cheered, after which lie
suggested the names of A. It. Wright an 1
P. W. Alexander, which were received
with cheers. The remainder of the pro
ceedings was unimportant, and excited no
great interest, save a statement made by a
gentleman from Kentucky, who said he
held in his hand an address signed by men
who had been horn in New Ragland, but
were citizens and members of the Conven
tion from Louisiana, Mississippi and Mis
souri; that this address was beautiful in
expression, eloquent in appeal, and lull of
the glowing purpose‘which animated the
Convention He begged that the address
be made part of the proceedings of the
Convention, and lie referred to the Com
mittoo on Address. 11 was so ordered,
under cries of “Good, good,” and ap
plause.
I cannot convoy to you the profound im
pression which Senator Doolittle made up
on all. Asa speaker his manner is quiet,
deliberate and graceful. Ilis utterance is
slow, distinct, and marked by a peculiar
emphasis, which attracts and commands
attention, while it does not fatigue. There
is a certain gravity in manner which wins
your respect—and an earnest sincerity
which enlists sympathy. It was marvel
lous to see with what ease, . courtesy and
dignity he decided conflicting questions
and points of order—and whenever he
rose to bring the House to order, or to
command silence in the audience, his calls
were honored with the highest respect.
The feeling in this city is changing
rapidly—it is visible. There has been
speaking every night at the different club
rooms. A speech by GovernorPcrry, made
last night, is highly praised, bot h by press,
Radical, and Unionist,, as well as on the
street. This afternoon George Francis Train
addressed the “Fenians” from the balcony
ofthc Continental and begged them not to be
“koneyfuglod” any more by those latter
day Saints, the “Rads,” who professed
Fenianism with all the sincerity of Judas;
hut refused to repeal the neutrality laws;
who promised Irish nationality at the be
ginning of (he war, hut postponed il at the
close, and now endeavored to bring in one
million of “nigger” voters to vote them
down when they pleased. They said be
fore the war a “nigger” is as good as an
Irishman. They say after the war they
will neutralize the Irish by universal suf
frage, which means niggers and nothing
else.
Rogers, of New Jersey, is an easy, flu
ent speaker, and comes nearer to the
Southern standard of oratory than any l
have heard. There is a marked difference
between the stump speaker of the two sec
tions in this respect. Northern orators
are cold and unimpassioned; their periods
are all round and full and polished, rising
and falling in swelling and descending ca
dences as if sounds from a stop organ.
The election in Pennsylvania is very ex
citing. Clymer appears now to be in the
ascendant, althogh General Geary brings
great personal popularity to his party.

Dear Chronicle. —After the ad
journment of the Convention yester
day the centre of interest was the
Committee of two from each State and
Territories on address. 11 was generally
considered that if the proceedings of tliis
Committee was characterized by harmony
and unanimity, the labors of the Conven
tion would be brought to a close to day,
which was considered very desirable by the
delegates from those States in which the
political campaign has been opened. The
interest and excitement induced, therefore,
was intense. It had been announced that the
Committee would meet at nine o clock, at
parlor C. Continental Hotel. Long before
that hour arrived the “Exchange Ifalls"
and magnificent parlors were thronged by
citizens and strangers, delegates and poli
ticians, reporters, editors and candidates.
From the main entrance of this magnificent
Hotel, to the Exchange bar and smoking
saloon, a dense mass of human beings
were elbowing, pushing, surging—all anx
ious to learn something—all in greatest pos- ,
aible good humor with themselves "and j
the rest of mankind." On every side were
heard congratulations, anecdotes, shouts
of laughter, manifesting good humor and
good feeling, and expressing ooofideaoe in ,
the future and assurance that the "good
rime coming” was not far olf. The
rnlv method of eouveying an adequate idea
of this multitude, at command, is testate the
dimensions of the floor covered: The main .
Hall is 185 feet in depth, in the centre of'
which is the “Exchange, " a magnificent
arena 38 feet in width by 78 feet in depth. .
On the right of the entrance is .the Gen
tlemen's Conversation Room. “2 by 58 feet,
and the Reading Room. 22 by AO feet—both ;
fronting on Chesnut street. At the ex
treme end of the Hall is the "Smoking
Room,’’ so-called —lighted by windows eu
Sansom street, and by magnificent chan
deliers. and provided with “spiritual re
freshments," so-called. Opposite the “Of
fice.” in the "Exchange/' vising from the
main Hall, is a magnificent stairway of
brown stone, the wainscoting of which is
of polished Italian marble, on the further
side of which is an open balcony commu
nicating with a long Hall running the ex- i
tent of the building from Chesnut to San
som streets. This balcony and hall were
well filled with elegantly dressed ladies from
nearly even - State in the l nion. prome
nading—stopping, now and again, to look
down upon the mass ot humanity below, or
striving to look in upon the Nebraska dele
gation—“ Mormon, so-oalled. Upon en
tering the Parlor Hall, the numbers were
not so great, except around the Convention
t I'nimittc Room. On the left, the 1 ice
President from Vermont discussed policy
earnestly, but pleasantly and hopefully, ■
with a Senator elect - >-called imui Flori
'. A little further on. a member from
eulogises, to a group. Aleck Stephen
as the greatest man on the continent, and ;
insists, vehemently, that he shall come to
Ohio to canvass the State, while marh
opposite is a group surrounding a gentle
man who declares that he has been all along
a Republican of the strictest sect, but :
as Vatlandigham has yielded his wishes. In
is ready to sink party affiliation, and work
for the Constitutional l nion party. Stand '
ing quietly at the intersection of the North
Hall, are three Federal Generals of di.-tine
tion, observing the scene, and near tw
(renerals Custar and Couch engaged in
conversation with an cx-Confedcrate Gen
eral. so-called. In the balcony of the par
lor. in the opening of the window, are seat
ed lion. Reverdy Johnson and Raymond,
of the Times, absorbed in close, earliest
conversation—the passive imperturbable:
the other full of animation, emphasising
proposition after proposition with the index
finger of the right hand upon the palm of
the left.
At the door of the ladies parlor stands
General Stewlman, of Ohio, surrounded by
a group of gentlemen and ladies. Beyond
these, m the centre of the parlor, environed
by a cordon of admirers of all ages, stands
a Saxon-haired belle from Chicago, beauti
! u! inform, feature and expression. In
h, r train, listening to her soft, musical
voice, stands a Texan, not unknown to
t Georgians, especially those around Waynes
boro'. who is called Mr. . but who isre
ci ived with marked attention. A hand
some lady from Macon receives gracefully
. /vjmpan s os Louisianians and Ge ugians.
just beyond, two ex-Govemors and a so- i
...T, i Confederate General wait upon a |
'u ntie lady from Cincinnati: while a num- ;
for are grouped in the corner, amongwhom j
rnor Parker and .Senator .Stock
ton from New Jersey.
' n i a ■ o’clock the Convention com
mittee a- embled ; having been invited to j
feftn, jt would be improper to communi- ;
ah t 'l ic ir proceedings. I can only say that
lings were characterized by a
and ' ire to do everything for conciliation —
the chief difference in views expressed
related only to policy. It is but just to say
that such members of the Committee as
had b n officers of the Federal army were
more decided in their bearing towards the
South, in the matter of conciliation, and
were more anxious to express sympathy
and liear testimony to the gallantry of
-
—unless perhaps the accomplished Chair
man. “Indeed” said one who had won
laurels upon a hard fought field “I would
rather to-day leave all questions to be
decided by * lenerals Grant or Lee, for a
fair and honorable adju.stment.and.fordirec
tion as to future policy, than to any others
in the land, and I believe that the soldiers
and people would heartily endorse their
action. ” The debates were characterized
by frankness, candor and the utmost good
feeling.
The accompanying address and resolu
tions were unanimously adopted. The
Committee rose at one o’clock. Passing
to the upper floors, your correspondent
“looked in” for a moment upon the mem-
Lh's from South Carolina and Massachu
setts. engaged in a friendly “pow-wow,”
discussing oysters and champagne. Pass
ing by other Committee Rooms, your cor
respondent chanced, during the evening, to
near the Room of the Connecticut delega
tion. This delegation were entertaining
the Mississippi delegation in a body, to
gether with all the delegates from the
South, who were natives of New England,
i Upon being accosted, the explanation was
offered that the writer was a Georgian.
'This elicited the cries: “lie will do”—
i “Bring him in.” Duly pledged by the
"last oath’ oredered, silence was com
manded. Soon after, Colonel Shepley, of
Mississippi, delivered an exquisite oration.
This was followed by a gentleman from
Connecticut, whose response was applaud
!cd at every sentence. This entertainment
was kept up, it is said, until the grey
streaks of dawn dimmed the gas.
The crowd at the Wigwam was greater,
if it could be, than yesterday. The Con
; vention proceeded in a business like man
ner to the consideration of the report of
the Committee. The resolutions were
read several times, and adopted with ap
plause. In reading, the Secretary unin
tentionaly, omitted the seventh resolution.
This was called for and read, and unani
mously adopted, with applause. Hon.
Henry J. Raymond was introduced by
Senator Cowan, and read the address.
During the reading of the address, the
utmost order was preserved until the read
er came to the following paragraph:
“And the ten millions of Americans who
live in the South would be unworthy citi
zens of tt free Commonwealth—degenerate
sons of a heroic ancestry —unlit even to be
eomo guardians of the rights and principles
bequeathed to us by the fathers and found
ers of the Republic, if they could accept,
with uncomplaining submission, the hu
miliations thus sought to he imposed upon
them.”
’l’iie whole audience rose, and cheer
after cheer was given. Hundreds of
voices demanded it to be re-read, which
was done, and again cheer after cheer,
amid the wildest excitement, was given.
At the eonclusion of the address, the Con
vention passed to business relating to a
I permaraent organization, resolutions of
i thanks, Ac., &e. A motion being made to
adjourn, was carried. After an eloquent
; prayer from the Rev. Mr. Elliot, the whole
' audience, rising devoutly, and standing un
i covered, the President came forward and
i announced*that this Convention now stands
I adjourned without a day, and the multi-*
| tude commenced moving slowly to the
doors.

| very much his feeble frame. He is setting
up to-day, and complains only of weakness.
I The house of his host is thronged with
j visitors. Invitation after invitation, oral
i and written, of every possible nature —
j among them, strange to say, are a scries of
\ invitations to lecture in Ohio, Indiana,
Michigan and Western New York during
I the Fall, commencing in October, by differ
j ent. Societies and Lyceums, “On the Con
i dition and Prospects of the Republic.”
| Those propositions, in every instance, are
j accompanied by offers of remuneration—
frequently of a handsome sum—and ema
nate, in every instance, from those who are
known as ultra-Radicals. Your corres
pondent put the question pointedly to
a well-known prominent Rad. to-day:
“would Gen. Lee be permitted to lecture
in your Northern cities—say on the South
ern view ot'tlie war.”
“Certainly he would, sir, certainly. I
will add from my own purse 500 dollars to
whatever sum may lie raised, if he will
j come to Chicago. But, sir, while we
j would like to see the man, and hear his
views, we would not like to have him come
as a politician. Personally l have a great
respect for him, although knowing little of
him beyond his public life.”

filled the hall upon which his room door
opens. M.
Rt. Rev. Bishop Verot. —lit. Rev.
Bishop Verot left St. Augustine last Wed
nesday for Savannah, via Tallahassee and
Columbus. We wish him a safe passage
and a speedy return to this field of his
labors. We are much pleased to see that
| the Bishop thought of bringing out to light
; the inexhaustible mineral treasures embed
] ded in the bowels of the earth all over
| Anastaeia Island. The cochina rock of
j which the Catholic Church of this place,
j and also the old Spanish Fort which lias
| never been taken by storm as yet, are built,
; is considered by the Bishop as the best
I building material in the world. The rock
is a concretion of small shells of all shapes,
| forms and age, and stratifications ; it is a
! standing subject of Mineralogy, Concholo
!gy and Geology; hut, as a building stone,
! it is soft enough to be wrought very easily,
| more easily than wood, and it is perfectly
j unalterabla in the air, not being exposed to
j crumble or to decay ; the walls of the fort
‘ are as strong now as they were two hundred
years ago. The rock looks at a distance as
beautiful as granite. May the hard work
: ing men of our place learn to develope this
! inexhaustible source of prosperity for the
! city. We hear that the Bishop will use
no other material to build the Churches
destroyed by the war. Already several
squares of rock have found their way to
Jacksonville, where a handsome Catholic J
Church will soon be erected. Fernandina
and other places, we understand, will soon '
share the same advantage. We hope the i
Bishop will meet with full success every- .
where. —At. Augustine, Flu., Ex., llth. j

he would consult with his friend. General

Important to Cotton Holders.
A correspondent of the Mobile Tribune
of the 17th says :
Messrs. Editors: — l notice under the
regulations of the Treasury department,
which appear in the National latellig, acer
of the 11th inst, by E. A. Hollins Com
missioner. that any cot-ton not shipped be
fore ihe fir-: oPSeptember 1866, cannot
then be shipped until it is weighed and
marked by government agents, and until
the owner enters into bond and obtains a
permit, or pays the tax gets his receipt of
payment and the permit to ship.
The object of this brief note is to say to
those persons in the interior holding cotton
that by shipping it before the first of Sep
tember, they get rid of this trouble.
Steamers and railroads are prohibited, un
der heavy penalty, from removing cotton
after first of September, unless bonded
aud accompanied with a permit; er the
taxes paid, and cotton so marked and per
mit for its transportation.
Three cents tax accrues on all cotton af
ter August Ist. 1 -66, except in certain
cases named of the crop.

The Soldier's Grave.
Tread lightly—’tia a soldier’s grave,
A lonely, mossy mound—
And yet, to hearts like mine and thine,
It should be holy ground.
Speak gently—let no careless laugh,
No idle, thoughtless jest.
Escape your lips, where sweetly sleeps
The hero in his rest.
For him no reveille shall beat,
When morning beams shall come-;
I or him, at night, no tattoo rolls
Its thunder from the drum.
No costly marble marks the place,
Recording deeds of fame,
Hut rudely on that bending tree
Is carved the soldier’s name.
A name—not dear to us—but ah!
There may he lips that breathe
That name as sacredly and low
As vesper prayers at eve.
There may be brows that wear for him
The mourning cypress vine;
And hearts that make this lonely grave
A holy pilgrim shrine.
There may be eyes that joyed to gaze
With love into his own,
Now keeping midnight vigils long
With silent griefs alone.

And cheeks washed pale by sorrow's tears,
His own cold cheek caressed.
I Tread lightly—for a man bequeathed,

INTERESTING ACCOUNT OF BRAZIL.
—»— I
Letter from Dr. <f. McF. Gaston.
fFrom the Chester (S. C.) Standard.)
Fort Gaines, Ga., July 13, 1866.
Dr. W. H. Babcock :
My Dear Sir: —Having - recently re
ceived quite a number of letters from gen
; tlemen in different parts of South Carolina,
I and two to-day from citizens of your Dis
triet, making inquiries as to various points
' connected with the emigration movement
| to Brazil, I will avail myself of the kind
! offer of your columns, to present a general
| reply to these communications,
i The Government being a limited mon
i archy, on very much the same basis as that
j of England, and having maintained law
j and order for nearly fifty years without any
! serious interruption, guarantees protection
to person and property to all the inhabi
■ tants of the Empire of Brazil.
| The present war with Paraguay, in
! which the Argentine Republics have com
j mon cause with Brazil, is only a source of
annoyance by interrupting the navigation
I of the river Parana ; and the allied forces
i having now moved into the territory of the
| common enemy, it is confidently believed
that Lopez, the leader of Paraguay, will
j speedily be reduced to the necessity of a
capitulation. This war attracts but little
attention in Brazil, and but for the impres
sion thata course of masterly inactivity would
bring Lopez to terms, it might have been
terminated long since.
In most of the industrial arts, and in
j agriculture, the Brazilians are behind the
j United States, and with the extension of
railroads into the interior, and the new
impulse which the culture of cotton has
received within a few years, there is an
ample field for artisans and planters from
this country. Mechanics of every kind may
find employment either in the cities or the
country; and the prospect of extending
the line of railroad into the interior of the
province of San Paulo, wall not only make
a demand for workmen upon the line of
operations, hut will develop new enterprises
in the adjoining country, which must give
employment to skilled mechanics in various
departments. This road has been com
pleted to a distance of eighty-five miles
from Santos, terminating for the present
at lundiatry; but with a charter and sur
vey for twenty-six miles farther to the city
of Campenas. At this point a fertile re
gion of country is entered, and some of our
people have already bought lands in that
vicinity for the culture of cotton and other
products.
Open lands with some improvements
may be had at very reasonable rates, viz:
from $2 to $5 per acre, provided they arc
not adapted to the culture of coffee. The
more elevated lands, entirely free from
frost, are those selected for the coffee plan
tations, and though the soil may not be of
better quality than the low lands, the great
importance attached to the coffee crop near
a railroad, gives these lands a value rang
ing, from $75 to SIOO per acre, when plant
ed in trees of coffee.
The great field for industrial enterprises
is in the country lying upon the .tributaries
of the river Iguape, which furnishes a
means of transportation by steamboats up
to Xinirica, and presents an extensive field
for mechanics in the fine facilities afforded
for machinery.
There are several families from the
Southern States already located in the
region lying between the village of Cananea
on the coast, and that of Xinirica upon the
river Iguape, while a representative of a
number of families from Louisiana has se
lected this country for their settlement. It
is in this territory that lands have been
reserved for us at 22 cents per acre, and
with the present prospect of a considerable
number of families transferring their resi
dence to Brazil, I know of no region in
which they can be so well accommodated as
in the forest lands lying between Cananea
and Xinirica. We can there have space
for indefinite extension oftour population,
with lands adapted to all variety of pro
ducts, and withal the cheapest and most
convenient transportation of products to
market by water. Drinking water is abun
dant and good.
The health of all parts of this province,
where somewhat removed from the coast,
is superior to most parts of South Caro
lina and Georgia, affording in this respect
the most desirable country to my knowl
edge. The people of this country are not
so vigorous) nor do they live to so great
an age, as is observable in Brazil. Several
very old persons, and others with ruddy
complexions, . presenting fine specimens of
healthy development, were seen immedi
ately upon the banks of the river Iguape
in the vicinity of Xinirica. After descend
ing fifty miles below this point the indi
cations for health are not so favorable ;
as the lands assume a level, flat, character,
rendering them liable to overflow.
The banks of the river above are high
and very rarely overflow, while the ad
jacent country is elevated and undulating,
or even some parts becoming mountain
ous near the river.
At the distance of six or eight miles. in
the country, a more regular conformation
prevails, and most of the territory lies
very favorably for cultivation. The super
ficial soil is dark grey loam, resulting from
vegetable decomposition, with a base of
yellow clay, making, in combination, a
mulatto soil of good productive quality.
There is found in the valleys and low
lands of this region a dark and almost al
luvial deposit which constitutes a very rich
soil, and along the river Iguape the soil
assumes very much the color of wot ashes,
having most of the characteristics of the
Mississippi bottom lands. None of the
terra rocha (in red purple lands,j which
are so justly prized in other parts’ of this
province, are found upon the tributaries of
Iguape river, nor on the other hand are
any of the naked barren eampos or open
plains seen in this section.
The land is more uniformly of fair quali
ty, without presenting extremes of either
kind, and thus, will afford a large settle
ment and equitable distribution of land,
that will yield all the staples of the coun
try satisfactorily.
! Corn, rice, beans, sugar-cane, cotton,
j tobacco, mandioea, and coffee, were seen
| here growing in great perfection, while
; the banana, the orange and the pine apple
1 flourish most abundantly, and of excellent
quality.
It is proposed that the reserved lands j
I may be purchased at twenty-two cents an 1
! acre, each member of a family having the
i privilege of getting three hundred A 300)
! acres,_ thus affording a large family a large
domain for extension of operations • as tlie
i children grow up. There are also private !
kinds adjoining these Government lands.
! whien may be bought in any quantity at
| eighty-eight cents per acre, and those de
| slr . m .S suc h an investment can have the
j privilege of three, four and five years
i wlth out interest. In many places ' there
are nne sites for machinery, and along the
mer iguape every planter has his own*
rice mill running by water from some of
| the numerous small streams which flow
into the majestic river.
. The timber upon these various tributa
ries is very abundant, and generally of fine
quality for cabinet work, for house's, or for
1 ship building.
For the most part the wood of the
: country is very hard and does not split
well, yet there are specimens of timber
j found in this region that serve well for :
fences, and a few which may be split into
; boards.
Pitches have been resorted to, with or
without hedges, in places where fencing
material was not convenient, and thus a
I permanent enclosure is effected. As there
are several growths well suited to the con- :
struction of hedges, even making in some
instances a protection against hogs a.- well
as cattle, horses and mule-, it would be
well to resort to this mode of enclosing
lands at the very outset
-In the vicinity of Ip caiiga. which is
thirty miles above Xiniriceq on the river
Iguape. there are very superior lead mine-,
and extensive deposits of lime stone and
red chalk, or stone suitable for pc-ncils. It
is also stated that coal ha- been discovered
in this same region, and lower down that
iron ore has been found convenient to the ■
river, hut I can’t vouch for the two latter
from personal observation. This section,
only reached by canoes, renders the trans
portation more tardy and troublesome,
though not as expensive as pact mules.
Xinirica is the head of steamboat navi
gation. and a large wagon road i- now be
ing opened across the country from this
point to the port of Cananca. which will
allow an outlet in either direction for the
product of those locating near the line of
j communication. The lands which are re-
served at my request, are situated upon
this road, and at a convenient distance for
shipment from either port This road is
of such a grade that a railroad may be built
upon the same line.
The climate is pleasant, and tempera
ture not so great at any time as our sum
mer. while it is rare that frost occurs in
winter. »
The population are generous and cordial
in their welcome of our people to their
country, and all classes seem to de-ire that
the emigrants shall locate in tbeir section
of the country permanently. Many of the
planters in the more populous parts of this
province, have proposed to receive into
business, men of experience in growing
cotton; and if they bring their tools
and implements for the . culture of the
soil, and preparation of the cotton for
market, all else will be supplied upon
the place, allowing one-half ot the nett
proceeds of the year’s operations tor their
i skill and superintendence. For this object
i persons may even better their pecuniary
j condition by abandoning ordinary lauds
here, and removing everything necessary
for planting to Brazil, where the sou is tar
Superior and the yield much great -r than
anywhere in South Carolina or Georgia.
Cotton yields from 2,000 lbs. to 2.500 lbs.,
and corn from 30 to 40 bushels, even with
the deficient culture of those pedple who
know nothing of the use of the plow, and
make very sparing use of the hoe. 4he
increase of production under our system ot
i working must be at least one-half more
than at present, and the quality ot the lint.
: now better than ours, will also perhaps be
| improved.
j I feel no hesitation in saying positively
1 that any person who has means to engage
I in agricultural operations in Brazil, may go
| to the Province of Sao Paulo with the
! prospect of making double the amount o.
; clear cash annually to what can be realized
by planting here, even under a better sys
: tern of labor than at present prevails m the
; South.
Negro slavery is still the chief reliance
for labor in Brazil, and there are frequent
opportunities to hire gangs of negroes at
from SSO to $75 per head, taking. entire
families. The number of .children in such
gangs is usually much smaller than we have
been accustomed to see on a plantation
here. In one lot offered during my visit,
there were 120 men and boys, 90 women
and girls, and 30 children only, who were
not able to render service in the field.
This gang was offered for $12,500 annual
hire, with the privilege of five or ten years
continuance, making not quite S6O per
head for those capable of working. A
number of small farmers might combine
and hire such a lot, working them together
or dividing them as might suit their inter
ests. It is also practicable to hire the
common order of people, in that country,
but they are not very reliable for constant
service.
An agent for the laboring classes in Ire
land, who resides at Rio Janeiro, has given
me a written statement of his readiness to
furnish as many laborers as may be wanted
bv our people upon three months. notice.
With a considerable element in this coun
try which will go immediately to work
upon reaching Brazil, there is a reasonable
prospect of securing all the labor that may
be requisite for entering .successfully upon
the cultivation of the soil, and all classes
of our people may materially improve their
pecuniary condition as well as their politi
cal and social condition by the change of
residence.
Brazil being south of the Equator, the
seasons are opposite to ours, and the plant
ing time for most crops is in October and
November, so that any who expect to make
a crop there for the coming year must go
there very soon. Few of our people can
make their arrangements to get off’ in time
for this, and it will be best for them to cal
culate upon leaving here after the gather
ing of the crops, so that they may. get a
better price for what they must sell, and
there will be time enough after this, to
make the move and get settled in their"
new homes for the crop season of another
year. The breaking up at one place, and
establishing a family in a distant country,
will require considerable time, for which
all the space between the crop gathering
here, and the next planting season there,
may not prove more than is requisite to
accomplish our objects.
If some reliable business men could go
forward in advance to locate the lands for
different families, and make preliminary
arrangements for labor, it would serve an
important object.
It is not yet ascertained at what rates or
at what time vessels can be secured to
transport persons and freight, but answers
are daily expected to inquiries on these
points, and will he furnished for your pa
per when received.
The movements of my friends will in
fluence very much my personal plans for
the removal of my family, but I expect to
get off within two or three months from
this date, and will render any deshed as
sistance to such as may go at the same
time.
The manuscript of my tour and observa
tions in Brazil, lias been sent to New York
for publication, and it is hoped that it
will soon be published to meet the demand
for more special informal ion.
Very respectfully yours,
J. McF. Gaston.
PBOCLAMATIOX
By the President of the United States of
America.
Whereas, by proclamations of the fif
| teenth and nineteenth of April, eighteen
hundred and sixty-one, the President of
the United States, in virtue of the power
vested in him by the Constitution and the
laws, declared that the laws of the United
States were opposed and the execution
thereof obstructed in the States of South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mis
sissippi, Louisiana, and Texas, by combi
nations too powerful to bo suppressed by
the ordinary- course of judicial proceedings,
or by the powers vested in the marshals by
law ;
And whereas, by another proclamation,

Virginia lying west of the Alleghany Moun
tains, and except also the inhabitants of
such other parts of that State, and the
other States before named, as might main
tain a loyal adhesion to the Union and the
Constitution, or might be, from time to
time, occupied and controlled by forces of
the United States engaged in the dispersion
of insurgents.) were declared to be in a
state of insurrection against the United
States;
And whereas, by another proclamation
of the first day of July, one thousand eight
hundred and sixty-two, issued in pursu- !
ance of an act of Congress approved June

was declared to be still existing in the States j
aforesaid, with the exception of certain j
specified counties in the State of Virginia ; '
And whereas, by another proclamation, !
made on the second day of April, one j
thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, ;
in pursuance of the act of Congress of July j
thirteen, one thousand eight hundred anil

Arkansass Mississippi, Florida, and Vir
ginia (except the forty-eight counties of !
Virginia designated as West Virginia, i
and the ports of New Orleans. Key West, j
Port Royal, and Beaufort, in South Caro
lina) were declared to be still in a state of
insurrection against the United States;
And whereas, by another proclamation
of the fifteenth day of September, one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-three,
made in pursuance of the act of Congress
approved March third, one thousand eight
hundred and sixty-three, the rebellion was
declared to be still existing, and the privi
lege of the writ of habeas corpus was in
certain specified cases suspended through
out the United States —said suspension to
continue throughout the duration of the
rebellion, or until said proclamation should,
by a subsequent one to be issued by the
President of the United States, be modified
or revoked;
_ And whereas the House of Represnta
tives, on the twenty-second day of July,
one thousand eight hundred and sixty-one,
adopted a resolution in the words follow
ing, namely:
liesolvcd toi the House of Rcpresentatiev
of the United States, That the present de.
plorable civil war has been forced upon
the country bv the disunionists of the
Southern States, now in revolt against her
constitutional Government, and in arm- .
around the < 'apital; that in this national
emergency. Congress, banishing all feel,
ings of mere passion or resentment, will
recollect only its duty to the whole coun
try; that tliis war is not waged upon our
part In any spirit of oppres-ion, nor for
any purpose of conquest or subjugation,
nor purpose of overthrowing or interfering
with the rights or established institutions
ofthose States, but to defend and maintain
the supremac y of the Constitution, and to
preserve the Union with all the dignity,
equality, and rights of the several States
unimpaired, and that as soon as these ob
jects are accomplished, the war ought to
cease.
__ And whereas the Senate of the United
States, on the twenty-fifth day of July,
one thousand eight hundred and sixty, one!
adopted a resolution in the words follow
ing. to wit:
lie-solved That the present deplorable I
war has been forced upon the country bv i
the disunionists of the Southern State!
now in revolt against the constitutional
' government, and in arms around the capi
tal : that m this national emergency ( in
gress. banishing all feeling of mere nae
siun or resentmeut, recollect onlv its dup*
to the whole country; that this war is not !
prosecuted upon our part in any spirit of
oppression, nor for any purpose ofci>n<mot
or subjugation, nor purpose of overthrow
ing or interfering with the rights or estab
lished institutions of those .States, but to
defend and maintain (he supremacy of the !
Constitution, and all laws made in pursu- j
ance thereof, and to preserve the Union
with all the dignity, equality;, and rights
of the several States unimpaired ; that as
soon as those objects are accomplished the
war ought to cease.
And whereas these resolutions, though
not joint or concurrent in form, are sub
stantially identical, and as such have hith
erto been and yet are regarded as having
expressed the sense of Congress upon the
subject to which they relate;
And whereas the President of the Uni
ted States, by proclamation of the thirteenth
of June, 1565, declared that the insurrec
tion in the State of Tennessee had been
suppressed, and that the authority of the
United States therein was undisputed, and
that such United States officers as had
been duly commissioned were in the undis- I
turbed exercise of their official functions: I
And whereas the President of the United j
States by farther proclamation issued on !
the second day of April, one thousand j
eight hundred and sixty-six, did promul- ;
gate and declare that there no longer exist
ed any arnied resistance of misguided eiti- j
zeds or others to the authority of the |
United States in any or in all the States
before mentioned, excepting only the State
of Texas, and did further promulgate and j
declare that the laws could ne sustained j
and enforced in the several States before i
mentioned, except Texas, by the proper ;
civil authorities, State or Federal, and j
that the people of the said. States, except
Texas, are well and loyally disposed, and
have conformed or will conform in their
legislation to the condition of affairs grow
ing out of the amendment to the Consti
tution of the United States prohibiting
slavery within the limits and jurisdiction of
the United States;
And did further declare in the same
proclamation that it is the manifest deter
; initiation of the American people that no j
1 State, of its own will, lias a right or power j
| to go out of, or separate itself from, or bo !
j separated from the American Union ; and
, that, therefore, each State ought to remain
; and constitute an integral part of the
United States;
| And did further declare in the Same last
j mentioned proclamation, that the several |
afore-mentioned States, excepting Texas, j
| had, in the manner aforesaid, given satis- |
: factory evidence that they acquiesce in this j
I sovereign and important resolution of Na- |
| tional unity;
| And whereas the President of the United
; States, in the same proclamation, did lur
-1 ther declare that it is believed to be a fun
i damental principle of government that the
| people who have revolt< 1 and who have
| been overcome and subdued, must either
! be dealt with so as to induce them volun
| tarily to become friends, or ci>. they must
• be held by absolute military p iwer, or de
i vastated, so as to prevent the-. ' jm over
j again doing harm as enemic.-. eh last
named policy is abhorrent to humauii. ■ ■
to freedom;
And whereas the President did, in the
same proclamation, further declare that
the Constitution of the United States pro
vides for constituent communities only as
States, and not as Territories, dependencies,
provinces, or protectorates;
And further, that such constituent
States must necessarily be, and by the-Con
; stitution and laws of the United States are
j made equals, and placed upon a like foot
| ing as to political rights, immunities, dig
nity, and power with the several States
j with which they are united ;
And did further declare that the obser-
I vanee of political equality as a principle of
j right and justice is well calculated to encour
{ age the people of the before-named States,
| except Texas, to be and to become more
: and more constant and persevering in their
| renewed allegiance ; .
! And whereas the President did further
declare, that standing armies, military oc
cupation, martial law, military tribunals,
and the suspension of tho writ of habeas
corpus are, in time of peace, dangerous to
public liberty, incompatible with the in
dividual rights of the citizen, contrary to
the genius and spirit of our free institu
tions, and exhaustive of the national re
sources, and ought not, therefore, to be
sanctioned or allowed, except in cases of
actual necessity, for repelling invasion or
suppressing insurrection or rebellion ;
And the President did further, in the
same proclamation, declare that the policy
of the Government of the United States,
from the beginning of the insurrection to
its overthrow and final suppression, had
been conducted in conformity with the
principles in the last named proclamation
recited.
And whereas the President, in the said
proclamation of the thirtieth of Juno, one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-six,
upon the ground therein stated and herein
before recited, did then and thereby pro
claim and declare that the insurrection
which heretofore existed in the several
States before named, except in Texas, was
at an end, and was henceforth to be so re
garded ;
And wliersas, subsequently to the said
second day of April, one thousand eight
hundred and sixty-six, the insurrection in
the State of Texas has been completely
and everywhere suppressed and ended, and
the authority of the 1 Inited States has been
successfully and completely established in
the said State of Texas, and now remains
therein unrestricted and undisputed, and
such of the propor United States officers as
have been duly commissioned within the
limits of the said State are now in the un
disturbed exercise of their official func
tions ;
And whereas the laws can now be sus
tained and enforced in the said State of
Texas by the proper civil authority, State
or Federal, and the people of the said
State of Texas, like the people of other
States before named, are well and loyally
disposed, and have conformed or will con
form in their legislation to the condition of
affairs growing out of the amendment of
the Constitution of the United States pro
hibiting slavery within the limits and ju
risdiction of the United States;
And whereas all the reasons and conclu
sions set forth in regard to tho several
States therein specially named now apply
equally and in respects to tho State of
Texas, as well as to the other States which
had been involved-in insurrection ;
And whereas adequate provision has
been made by military orders to enforce the
execution of the acts of Congress and the
civil authorities, and • ure obedience to
the Constitution and laws of the United
States within the State of Texas, if a resort
to military force for such purr - should at
any time become nece.-sary;
Now, therefore, I, Andre - Johnson,
President of the United States, do hereby
proclaim and declare that the insurrection
which heretofore existed in the State of
Texas is at an end, and is to be henceforth
so regarded in that State? as in the other
States befere named, in which the said
insurrection was proclaimed to be at an
end by tiie aforesaid proclamation of the
second day of April, one thousand eight
hundred and sixty-six;
And I do further proclaim that the said
insurrection is at an end, and tliat peace,
order, tranquility, and civil authority now
exist in and throughout the whole of the
United States of America.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto
set my hand, and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.

REMEMBER
] Tliat this Bitters is not alcoholic, contains no ruin or whiskey,
! and cannot make drunkards, bwft Tonic is the word.
BEAD WIIO SAYS SO.
(From Rev. W. D. Seigfried, Pastor of Twelfth Baptist
t .’hurcii, 1 ’hihtdelphia.)
Gentlemen: I have recently been hmoring under the dis
tressing effects of indigestion, accompanied by a pro t ration of
the nervous system. Nunnum..- remedies were recommended
by friends, and some of them tc-vd, but w-tk.ir.t redo.'. Y< ur
Hoofland’s Germau Bitters were recommended by per." ns who
had tried them, and who v favorable mention of these Bitters
induced me to try them. 1 must cm fessthnt l had an a vet <on
to Patent Medicines from the “thousand and one” Quatk
Bitters whose only aim seems to be to palm off sweet nod and
drugged liquor upon the community in a sly v. uv. and the ten
dency of Which, I fear, is ton ak many a m l drunkard.
I*l- n learning that >vut - «.i- t . .. t ' (ration,
I took it with happy efleet. Its action, only upon the*
stomach, but upon the nervous system, was prompt and grati
fying. I fed that l have derived great anil permanent benefit
t'Vrom tin* • fa few linttles.
Very respectfully yours, W. I>. SEiorr.im*,
No. 254 Shuckamaxon street.
F)om the Rev. E. l)r. Hu-lall, AssistantEditortChristia
i "hrojiicle, Philadelphia.)
I have derived deemed W-neflt- frointhe use of Hoofland’s
German Bitters, ami feel it my privilege to rcconmiemi tin”-
a most valuat le tonic to ail who are suffering from a general
debility, or from diseases arising from derangements < the
liver. Yours truly, E. R. Fend all.
(From J Rev. D. Merrigc, Pastor of the Passyunk Baptist
Church, Philadelphia.)
From the many respectable recommendations given to I>r.
Hoofland’s German Bitters, I was induced to give them atrial.
After using several bottles I found them to be a good remedy
for debility, and a most excellent tonic for the stomach.
1). Mehkige.
(From Rev. 'William Smith, formerly Pastor of theVincen
town and Milville (N. J.) Baptist Churches.)
Ilaviug used in my family a number of bottles of your Iloof
land’s German Bitters, 1 have to say that 1 regard them as an
excellent medicine, specially adapted to remove the diseases
they are recommended for. They strengthen and invgorat©
thesvstem when debilitated, and are useful in disorders of the
liver, loss of appetite, etc. I have also recommended them to
several of my friends, who have, tried them, afhd found them
greatly beneficial in the restoration of health.
Yours truly, Wm. Smith.

PT
(From the Rev. Joseph 11. Kennard, Pastor of the Tenth Bap
tist Church.)
1 have been frequently requested to connect my name with
commendations of different kinds of medicines, but regarding
the practice us out of my appropriate sphere, 1 have in all cases
declined: but with a clear proof in various instances, ami par
ticularly in my own family, of the usefulness of i >r. Iloofland’s
German Bitters, 1 depart for once from my usnal.cour.se, to ex
press my full conviction that, for general debility of thesvstem
and especially for liver complaint, it is a safe am! valuable pre
paration. In some cases it may fail, but usually, I doubt not
it will be very beneficial to those who suffer from the above
causes.
Yours, very respectfully, J. 11. Kennakd,
Eight , below Coates street.
Philadelphia, Dec. 24,1804.
Rev. J. S. Herman, of the German Reformed Church, F itz

years* standing.
A. M. Spangler, Editor of the Culturist, No. 25 North Sixth

friend, and .-i>; bottles cured him of complete prostration of tiie
nervous system.
