Jpanema, its President. Mr.. Ottoni, the le.ds,
of the ultra-Liberal psrty and one Of the mod
earnest deputies Of the Opposition. was an.
pointed Secretary. On the opening Of Il.
session, letter was read from the Maor.doms
Of the Emperor. announcing that the Emperor
subscribed q monthly sum of $4,000 francs
as long as it might be found necessary, to pui
the country in state of defense, the Empress
sum Of 5000 francs, and moreover, 5000
francs every month, and each Of tho Princessu
5000 francs a month. The Emperor n.
peatedly visited the forts situated st the enter.
ance of the bay, and great agitation ceu.
tinued to reign in all classes Of society. En-.
listing Offices had been opened, and large nun.
bers Of young men enrolled themselves. Tho
excitement against the British was increasing
every day, and the answer of the English
Cabinet to the last propositions sent to London
was awaited with impotence.
1t must be said to the honor Of the English
press and people, that the conduct Of Mr..
Christie toward Brazil has been generally con.
demned They declare it to be- even from com.
mercial point of view, entirely objectionable, to
establish-for O pecunary claim amounting. ae'
cording to Mr.. Christie himself, to only E5,526,
and which by the British Government has since
been reduced to E3,2O0-a virtual blockade Of
Rio for nearly month, and mako rePrisals to
the value of more than $4,000. From tho
correspondence laid before Parliament, it ap.
pears that Earl Russell 10 issuing Instructions
to Mr.. Christie, expressly gave him authority
to make another reference to tie British
Government respecting the response that might
be made to bis ultimatum before resortng to
reprisas, and that Mr.. Christie, concealins
that authority from the Brazilian Government.
preferred the abuse to the use Of those instruo.
tons. 1t also appears that discussion was con-
Quoted on bis part with a want of temper and
discretion which rendered pacific solution i'm.
possible without such o sacrifice OF principle
and dignity on the part Of Brazil, Is would
have been source Of great danger to tho sta.
blity of the Empire.
The British Government has not been alto.
gether blind to the serious consequences TO the
British commerce that may arise from this IN.
toward event. Its approval of Mr.. Christe's
resort to reprisals is moss frigid and reserved.
and it has not failed to express on every coca.
sion the hope that tho good understanding be-
tween the two Governments will soon be 70.
stored. The events which have since tskea
place in Brazil, and to which We have above
referred, make it, however, doubtful whether
this end will be as easily attained as the Brit
ish Ministers expect. 1t has never been
an easy task to allay national hatred, and u
Brazil it will be the moro difficult, M France
has taken occasion to express its entire sympa'
thy with that country.

ARlg rhing for John morgan.

Among the many accomplishments of the
rebels, lying is not the least, as the following
scrap of romance shows :at s-i % L2'I'l4
Morgan's Assistant Adjutant General, Cum
ningham, who effected his escape across the
Ohio during the. great raid of Morgan, has
made his appearance in Richmond, Va, where
he has taken time to write out a very minute
account of the great deeds performed by Nor
gan's band, as well asa great many which
were not performed byit. He unblushingly
asserts that at Corydon the raiders routed 4, :
500 of our militia, capturing 3,40o prisoners,
that wherever they went all kinds of delica-
cies were "thrust upon them' by the people,
and that everybody was frightened out of
their wits, until informed by the gentlemanly
brigands that they did not war upon women
and children. He says they captured 500
more prisoners at Vernon. He sums up the
pretended results of the expedition at near g.
GOO Federals paroled, thirty four bridges de-
stroyed, railroad tracks torn up in sixty places,
and property to the amount of $4,000, 600
destroyed. He thinks the people of Ohio and
Indiana are desirous of peace, "and could the
idea of their ability to conquer US once be got
ten rid Of, they would clamor for an immedi-
ate recognition" - $3.50 ..,s---.s -. /.

IS SCENES IN New ORLEANs.-The Pieayune

evening succeeded in breaking up Voudou
meeting which was.held in house on Marais
street. When he and some other officers en-
tered the building he found about forty naked
women-all eolored except two-who were
dancing the Youdou dance, and performing
the, rites and incantations pertaining to that
ancient African superstition yclept Voudou-
ism. In the center of the room there was a
vessel filed with a motley mixture, as varied
in its contents. as the, cauldron of the weird
Sisters who worked their wonders before Mac
beth. The mixture was of semi-fuid char
acter, ornamented with curious and unnamea-
BILE substances. From the vessel number
of burning candles protruded, and around
| these lights the Voudou sisters danced. Ona

strange spices. burned, giving forth exhilerat-
ing perfumes, The object of the meeting, SO
| far, as could be ascertained by the police, was
the bringing down Of, Heavens vengeance on
those who had in any manner forfeited itheil
good will. As soon as the police entered
there was grand scattering of the nude sis
fterhood, Notwithstanding which about twenty
were arrested This is the first time for years
that a Voudou meeting has been interrupted

TalIs Like Men.

The Democratic County Convention of
Clark Co., Indiana, adopted the following res
olution 80 of. t- f..-s r.rra
Resolved, That we are in favor of vigorous
prosecution of the war, and we will cheerfully
and zealously support the Administration in
the use of any and all means necessary to
suppress the infamous rebellion on the part of
Southern traitors against the Government of
the United States, and that we are opposed
to any cessation of hostilities until the last
armed rebel shall be forced to lay down his
arms, and the laws under the Constitution
shall be enforced throughout every yeirehlof
territory within, the limits of the United
States. -.7
There is a generous and manly expression
NOT the hide -bonnd cant of party hacks
If the Democracy of the Northwest were in
like spirit generous and manly, the rebellion
of the Southern traitors would be most speed
lily put down. 1t is the ValIandighammers
who are prolonging the war.

LOVE AND SUIcIDE.-1n Cincinnati, on the
night of the 9th, Belle Mccormick, young
woman, committed suicide by drowning her
self. ItIseems that she was engaged to be
married, but owing to some misunderstanding
with her betrothed, a GOODNESS sprung up
The night previous the young man to whom
she was engaged passed her house several
times, with another young lady, probably to
pique the former, but his cruel .Jf',esse was at
tended by the sorrowful result we are noting.
During the night Miss Mccormick went to
the river near Ler residence, and committed
her grief to the merciless waves. Her alb
sence, next morning, from home, excited
alarm, and an investigation revealed the quar-
rel with her lover, and gave rise to the fear
that she had terminated her existence. A
search was instituted, and her now distracted
lover Joined in it. Strange to say, it fell to
his ot to find the body, which had foated a
short way down the river and lodged between
two fat boats. The deceased was eighteen
years old, and quite attractive in appearance
! and manners. ,+...,s, feoz,3-s7 AL. !

At the Hull Bankruptcy Court on Friday, be-
fore Mr.. Judge Raines, 4 bookseller and pub
Usher named Empson, formerly of Beverly,
in the East Riding, and now of III Mstongate,
Hull, applied for his discharge. T he bank
rupts debts amounted to a little above ESQ,
and in theNcaurse of bis examination it trans
,pired that in the year 1860 he engaged Miss
M. E. Braddon (the author of " Lady Aud
ley,s Secret,n and Aurora Floydp) to write
novel for him entitled, "Three Times
Dead, or.ths Seeretof the fHeaithl.,, Miss NJ
E. Braddon was at this time an actress in Roy
al Queens theatre, Hull, and played under
the name of Miss Seyton She wrote the
introductions to the pantomirnes, and this
brought her under notice, and while she was
staying at Beverly Park, she published occa-
siopal poems, which caused Mr.. Empson to
enter into an arrangement for her TO- write a
novel. "Three Times Dead'' was Miss Brad
don's first literary effort, and although i. was
1 highly sensational, and above &200 was exs
pended in getting it out, the work proved a
failure, and to this cause Mr. Empson artfully
attributed his bankruptcy. Since 1860 Miss
Bfaddoni hadsbeen1 in London, and what sue
cess her literary efforts have achieved is q
matter Of public notorietyngi Mr.. Judge
Raines said if Miss Braddon had made &S,OOC

ri Your paper comes. to hand regularly every

(but one-secesh) blended together in one
great Union party, whose mission is to crush
out the present unholy rebellion, bring togeth
aer and reunfteh the once happy family of
States under the bread folds of the Gonstitu-
ton. There is, there can be but two political
parties at the present time. One composed
of members, willing to do, and die for their
country. The other as willing destroy and
ruin the same. Can it be possible that Ohio,
the pridesof the west that has sent out her
hundred thousand volunteer sons for the ex-
press purpose of putting down treason and re-
bellion, protecting home and its surroundings
from the dspoilers hand; State too, preemi-
nent in furnishing means to alleviate the
woes and sufferings; promote the welfare
and comfort of her soldiers in the field and
hospital. 5 L say can it be possible that there
is party within her borders entitled to any
] consideration, by reason of its numbers, who
wiliIknowingly prolong this fearful struggle
