(From Our regular Correspondent.] Philadelphia, July 15, 1870. Yesterday there was a slight miti gation of the burning pitiless heat that has for three weeks poured down upon this city, causing deaths by the hundrod and interfering with all business and pleasure, except traffic in tans, sun umbrellas, Ice water, and baths. This morning the sun has resumed his ardent smiles. We wish he would frown a little,avert his countenance, reserve a little fervor for winter, anything but this eternal dazzling hotness. It is not nice; young ladies, etherial girls, sweat like rolling mill operatives! I have seen them at the Exposition with a blotch of humidity on their backs like the map of South America. Speaking of South America re minds me of the remarkably display made by the only country in this hem isphere that rivals us in extent of territory, and has a population of 12,000,000, or that has honored our Centennial Exposition by the pres ence of her sovereign. Tho exhibits of the great Braziiiau Empire aro distributed in the main building, iu Agricultural Hall, in the Women’s Pavilion, in Machinery Hall, and in the Art Gallery. In the main build ing the display consists of leather and its manufactures, hats, cotton and woolen goods, soaps, candles, minerals, furniture, and au •ducational section for the illus tration of the school system of Brazil. The leather dis play is perhaps the best, consisting of many varieties of leather, from the finest patent to ttie heaviest sole. Many specimens of boots and shoes are exhibited, from the finest in ma terial and workmanship, to those made of the heaviest kip or rawhide with wooden soles. They are very good, but do not approach ours iu elegance of shupe and beauty of fin ish. It will be remembered that the American shoes and boots won the prize at the Paris and Vienna Ex positions, and from the excellence of the displays of various firms here, itisevident that she will hold it. Brazil has not yet made much prog ress in the manufacture of cotton and woolen goods, her display consisting mainly of common shirtings, un bleached muslins and cheap woolen fabrics. There is iu the northern part of the Brazilian enclosure a full collec tion of minerals designed to show the variety and extent of her miner al resources. Of these the hematite iron ores appear to be the most val uable ; this is found in extensivo de posits which can be easily and profit ably worked, being near extensive forests which, in that tropical cli mate, reappear in from seven to ten years after they have been cutldown. Coal is exhibited, also specimens of lignites, bituminous schists, and peat, which is found in large depos its. Gold, silver, copper and manga nese are found, most of them in paying quantitea, also small depos its of tin and zinc. There is au extensive exhibit of precious stones, such as diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds, topazes, and amethysts. Among other minerals displayed are sulphur, saltpeter, rock salt, as bestos, and graphite. The minerals are exhibited in glass cases, and a very brief inspection will impress the visitor with the great extent and va riety of the mineral resources of Brazil. But the il nest display of the great South American empire is in Agri cultural Hall. More than one-half the inhabitants of Brazil are engaged in agriculture. Coffee is of course the chief production, but hero aro exhibited cotton, sugar from nearly all varieties of cane, tobacco, which grows wild in Brazil, but whieh has by cultivation been made to equal the Havana leaf; mate, from the leaf of a tree of that name, used very ex-< tensively as a beverage in South America and exported at the rate of 30,000,000 pounds annually; it is said to be an excellent substitute for cof fee and to cost only about one-fourth as much. Caoutchouc;or India Rub ber, is largely exhibited, as well as many other gums obtained from the resinous trees of Brazil. A conspicu ous part of the display in Agricultur al Hall are the dried and salted hides; the number of cattle that roam the vast plains of Brazil is estimated at twenty millions; large quantities of these skins are used in the manufac ture of boots,shoes, saddles, cushions &c., but rearly fifty millions of pounds are annually exported. The exhibit of useful woods is remarkable for the great., variety and beauty of the specimens,. Mahogany and cedar lumber are cut in boards to show the diameter of the tree. There are over three hundred species of palm, also several varieties of mahogany, cedar, and acoranda, or rose wood, all sus ceptable of high polish. The warlike display of Brazil, con sisting of her military and naval ex- VOL. 2. hibits, may be found in Machinery Hall. Here is a model, giving an in terior view of the Government work -1 shops and atsenal at Bahia; spears and lances used by the Brazilian cav alry, their heavy saddles, and tho summer and winter uniform of the various branches of the service; mod els of the Government dry-docks; models of vessels in use in the Bra zilian navy, mortars, monitors, etc., etc. The summer uniform of the Brazilian army is of light brown lin en, made very loose, and is doubtless promotive of the health, comfort and cleanliness of the soldier. In the Art Gallery Brazil has some paintings in oil, and a few statues in plaster. The paintings have a certain tropical gorgeousness which indicates that the artist has staid at home, aud admonishes tho critic to forbear criticizing represen tations of scenery that he has never seen. There is, however, but little to admire in this gallery, and the visi tor will not be disposed to remain long. Brazil lias show-cases iu the Wo men’s pavilion, and in there are dis played artificial flowers, made of leather, wax, feathers and tlsh scales; embroidery, and work iu gold lace by the proteges of different native or phan asylums; needlework by the Vieountess de Stamaraty; cushions exquisitely worked in silk and wool, by the pupils of the college of the Imperial Society. In this vary hurried glance at the various exhibits of this young em pire, it will be soon that while her natural resources are immonse and wonderful, her industrial produc tions are not insignificant. What a pity that the Andes bar her from the Pacific coast! With her meas ureless territory and scant popula tion, she might stretch out her hand to what is practically called tho o’erteeming population of Asia, and thus tap off our Chinese immigration, remove that element of contention from our polities, and let us have our Presidential elections in peace. C. A. S. Colton Elgurca. The New York Financial Chronicle of the 15th states that lor the week ending Friday evening, the 14th inst., total receipts of cotton at the various Southern ports have reached 6,005 bales, against 8,661 last week, 8,550 bales the previous week, and 10,493 bales three weeks since, making to tal receipts since the Ist of Septem ber, 1875, 4,070,775 bales, aguinst 3,467,933 bales for the the same period of 1874-5, showing an increase since September 1, 1875, of 602,842 bales. The exports for the week ending Friday evening reach a total of 18,559 bales, of which 11,323 were to Great Britain, 4,539 to France, and 2,697 to rest of the Continent, while the stocks as made up to date are now 232,570 bales. From the foregoing statement it will be seen that, compared with the corresponding week of last season, there is an increase in the exports this week of 3,713 bales, while the stocks Friday night are 81,943 bales more than they were at this time a year ago. The visible supply of cotton, as made up by cable aud telegraph, is as follows; Stock at Liverpool, 1,021,- 000; stock at London, 48,250; total Great Britain stock, 1,069,250. Stock at Havre, 159,250; stock at Marseilles, 8,000; stock at Barcelona, 81,500; stock at Hamburg, 13,250; stock at Bremen, 03,750; stock at Amsterdam, 61,250; stock at Rotterdam, 15,250; stock at Antwerp, 18,250; stock at ottier continental ports, 23,000; total continental ports, 433,500; total Eu ropean stocks, 1,502,750. India cot ton afloat for Europe, 403,000 ; Amer ican cotton afloat for Europe, 121,000; | Egypt, Brazil, etc., afloat for Europe, j 27,000; stock in United States ports, j 232,570; stock in United etates inte rior ports, 31,952; United States ex ports to-day, ; total visible sup ply, bales, 2,318,272. These tlgures indicate a decrease in the cotton in sight Friday night of 140,358 bales as compared with the same date of 1875, a decrease of 270,- 770 bales as compared with the cor responding date of 1874, and a de crease of 185,144 bales u* compared with 1873. The totals show that the old inter ior stocks have decreased during the week 1,419, and were Friday night 18,- 449 bales more than at the same period last year. The receipts at the same towns have been 318 bales more than the same period last year. According to our cable dispatch re ceived Friday, there have been 4,000 bales shipped from Bombay to Great Britain the past week, and 9,000 bales to the Continent; while the receipts at Bombay during this week have been 22,000 bales. From the foregoing it would ap pear that, compared with last year, there is an increase of 2,000 bales this year in the week’s shipments from Bombay to Europe, and that the total movement since January 1 ■ shows a decrease in shipments of 229,- 000 hales compared with the corres ponding period of 1875. NlMlns Bull's NtrenKlli. New York, July 18.—A Bismarck, Dacotah Territory, dispatch of July 17th, says: Sherman and Sheridan certainly underestimated the strength of the hostile Indians. Sit ting Bull’s band, before it was joined |by Crazy Horse, numbered 1,800 I lodges, and a fighting force of over 6,000 effective men, and Crazy Horse has proven himself strong enough to defeat Crooke in an engagement without the aid of Sitting Bull. Col. Burke, agent at Standing Rock, who certainly is wellinformed, and not disposed to exaggerate their strength, estimates the fightiDg force of the Sioux at 10,000; and it should be remembered that women and children are not an element of weakness, for every nine yecr old boy will handle a gun, stone mallet or bow to better advantage than a ma jority of recruits handle their mus kets. The squaws do the camp drudgery, and are ready for battle if their services are needed. Sitting Bull’s Uncupapas lost 150, and other bands nearlv as many, in Custer’s fight. The Rees, at Fort Lincoln, mourned several days over Custer’s death, cutting themselves with their knives, and exhibiting genuine sor row iu other ways peculiar to them. THE TIMES. COLUMBUS, GA., THURSDAY, JULY 20, 1870. ALABAMA NEWS. —John P. Arnold, a promising young man of Montgomery, who had received an appointment as cadet at the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, a few days ago, died in Montgomery' on Tuesday, from a sickness incurred while celebrating the 4th of July. —The corn crop of the Cauebrake region is generally promising, aud the tirst planting may be considered made, almost beyond the possibility of disaster. The cotton is small and stunted, and caterpillars have made their appearance on a number of plantations. —The Eufaula Times learns that there is a “dry streak” extending from Sam Ogletree's and Win. Bur nett’s in Quitman county, Ga., around westward twelve to twenty miles south of Eufaula, as far as to the Chestnut Hill plantation of Col. E. 8. Shorter, about fifteen miles north west of Eufaula, iu Barbour county. The “streak” averages five miles in width, and the crops within it are parching up for want of rain. On both sides of this dry streak there havo been abundant rains. —Last Saturday evening Mr. Albert Hubbard, who lived in the Fork of Greene county, was cut in the arm by a Mr. Steadman with a knife, and died in a short time from the wound. feerretary Uolie*on Censured. Washington, July 18.— The Demo eratio members of the Committee on Naval Expenditures have all signed a majority report. It arraigns Robeson in severe terms, charging him with a gross violation of law in making contracts and purchases without ad vertising ; in expending money of ap propriations, and iu aiding Jay Cooke &Cos., with government bond’s when they were in a bankrupt condition, aud sundry other alleged illegal acts. In regard to alleged corruption of Secretary Robeson, the report recites that it is due to him to say there is no evidence that he has profited by any alleged frauds and wrong prac tices, although his intimate relations with the Cattells, who sold con tracts, is subject to consure. It is proposed sending the evi dence to the Judiciary Committee to decide whether there has been such infractions of law as render the Secretary of the Navy liable to im peachment. The report arraigns Postmaster General Walworth, Josi ah Hunromo and W. W. Wood, Chief of the Bureau, for irregularities in their operations, clearly against the statutes. Pay Director Bradford is also condemned for his transactions with Jay Cooke and McCullough. The Democratic caucus to-night de cided to withdraw that section of the SuudrvCivil Appropriation bill which repeal's national registration and su pervision of elections. This conces sion will pass the bill. Nothing was done regarding contested points of the other bill. Hr Wouldn’t Tell Lie. One of the police captains yester day had a call from a party living “way up the river.” He entered the station house in a great hurry, blew his uose with a pistol-like report, and loudly inquired if there was a city ordinance which allowed a one eyed man to hit him on the chin and extract $35 from his vest pocket. The captain didn’t think thero was, and the stranger was anxious for all the police to turn out and search all tho streets aud arrest all the one eyed men in New York. When he found that nothing could be done for him, owing to his ignorance of localities, he turned pale and grew very thirstv. “That money.” he gasped, “was to buy an alpaca dress, a pair of shoes, some factory cloth, a feather tick, ten yards of sheeting and eight cents worth of hooks and eyes. It was money the old woman had got by selling eggs and butter and how on earth can I face her is more’n I know. “Any money left?” asked the cap tain. “’Bout ’leven cents,” was the grim reply. “Well, I don’t see how I can help you,” said the officer. The man walked the floor for sev eral minutes and at length his faoe brightened. “Capting,” he softly began, as he halted, ‘s’posen you was my wife?” “Yes.” “And s’posen I left home for New York with thirty-five dollars in my pocket to buy things?^ “Yes.” “S’posen I returned home with a card of hooks and eyes in one hand for you, and a rattle box in the other for the baby, and kissed you, and told you that hooks and eyes had gone up to a dollar a piece, would you believe me, capting?” “It would be rather tough,” an swered the captain. “So it would—so it would; but it wouldn’t do to tell ber that rattle boxes had gone up to $34, would it?” “Hardly.” There was another period of si lence, and then the anxious man re marked: “Capting, I don’t think I’ll lie to her at all. I’ll tell her that Jay Cooke’s failure busted me out of it, and if she’s a mind to rip and tear about the work of Providence why I’ll have to let her jaw around and cool off. Good-bye, capting-glad you didn’t advise mo to lie!”—New York Telegram. History of Alcohol. Alcohol was invented 940 years ago, in Arabia. Ladies used it with a powder to paint themselves that they might appear more beautiful, and this powder was called alcohol. During the reign of Wil liam arid Mary, an act was passed encour aging the manufacture of spirits.—Soon after, intemperance and proflgacy pre vailed to such an extent that tho re tailers of intoxicating- drinks put up signs in public places, informing the people that they might get a drink for a penny, and have some straw to get so ber on. In the sixteenth century, dis tilled spirits spread over the continent of Europe. About this timo it was intro duced into the colonies, as the United States were then called. The first notice we have of its use in public life, was among the laborers in the Hungarian mines, in tho fifteenth century. In 1751, it was used by the English soldiers ee a cordial. The alcohol from Europe was made from grapes, and sold in Italy and Spain as a medicine. The Genoese after wards made it from grain, and sold it as a medicine in bottles, and under the name of the “water of life.” Until the six teenth oentury it was kept by apotheca ries as a medicine. During the reign of Henry VIII., brandy was first known in Ireland, and its alarming effects induced the Governor to pass a law prohibiting its manufacture. About 120 years ago it was used as a beverage, especially among the soldiers in the 'English colonies in North America, under the preposterous notion that it prevented sickness and made men fearless in the field of battle. It was looked upon as a sovergn cure. Such is a briefhostory of its introduction in society as a beverage.— Ex. ! CONGRESSIONAL. TI F.SDAY, JULY IHTII. SENATE.

Wo wore advancing toward a little wood of palm, and tamarind trees, which to my great astonishment I saw rising from the midst of a sterile soil. All at onco tho Botlilemites stopped, and showed me with their hands, at the bottom of a ravine, something that I had not perceived. Without beiug able to say what it was, I got a glimpse of something like a kind ot sand moving over the motionless soil. I approached this singular object and saw a yellow stream which I had difficulty in dis tinguishing from the sand on its two banks. It was down deep below tho surface, and slowly rolled along a thick wave. It was tho Jordan. I had seen the great rivers of Amer ica with the pleasure which solicitude and nature inspire; I had visited the Tiber with eagerness, and sought with as much EurotasandCephysus; but I cannot describe what I felt at the sight of the Jordan.

THE MORNING NEWS, SiVAWAII, <.%• rnilE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN OF 1870, WHICH J . includes National, State aud county elections, and which will undoubtedly be tho most active aud hotly i-onteßtcd of any since the memorable c anvass of 1860, iB now fairly opened. The Na tional Democratic Party will this year make a bold, vigorous, and doubtless successful strug gle lor tlie maintenance ami supremacy of those principles which are vital to the prosperity of the Republic and essential to tho well-being of the people. In addition to the Presidential election, tho people in Georgia and Florida will elect new State governments. In Florida tho campaign promises to be unusually vigorous, and there is a probability that for the first timo since the war the people ol' that Radical-ridden State will eloct a Democratic State Government. In those cam paigns the people of tho South are deeply inter ested; and everv intelligent citizen, who has tho welfare of his country and liia section at heart, should acquaint himself with every detail of the great work of redemption and reform that is now going on. To this end he should subscribe to and assist iu circulating the Kavaiinali JlortlliUSNews, an independent Democratic newspaper, of pro nounced opinions aud fearless in their expres sion; a paper that is recognized everywhere as the best d-kily in tho South.
