ACADEMY OF MUsIc.-"Rosedale" afforded
q most pleasing entertainment to a well
filed house at the Academy of Music last
evening, and was never presented to
better advantage SO far as the performance
was concerned.
This evening the bills announce Miss
Sallie St. Clair and Mr.. Charles Barras,
names too familiar to the Cleveland public
to need a word of introduction. They omen
this evening in the admirable comedy of
"The Serious Family" Mr.. Barras as "Amin-
adab Sleek" and Miss st. Clair as Mrs.
Delmaine," to be followed by the comdietta
Of "0ur Country Cousin" in which Miss st.
Clair appears as "Margery." This eonsti-
tutes a most attractive and entertaining
bill.
Mr.. Ellsler announces that he has made
all necessary arrangements to receive the
election returns as rapidly as they are made
up, and they will be read from the stage.

MrssouRrANs IN BRAz1L--A letter
from Rio Janeiro, Of August 9th, to
the New York Herald, says:
The Missouri emigrants have pro-
ceeded to Paranagua, in the province
Of Parana, there to form neuceus of
a sort of American colony. They
may expect to find some sympathy for
their pro-slavery sentiments ; but in
this they will be mistaken, and will
find that BraziIians look upon slavery
az a great evil, but an institution that
cannot be suddenly done away with.
Several plans have been projected for
gradual abolition, but none have been
yet adopted, and IL is to be hoped that
ii will take place without the violence
which mutual antagonism brought
about in tho United States.
The culture Of cotton does not pro
gress as predicted. A gentleman, who
resided on the estate Of jeff Davis two
years as physician, commenced on a
small scale few miles from Rio, but
has abandoned 1t in favor of4ugar, as
being more remuneratIve. However,
there are districts where cotton will
have the preference, far into the inte-
rior where it will be made into coarse
goods, for The manufacture of which
American machinery will be some day
in good demand.

U Several of our citizens re-
turned last week from visit to the
Great Sunken Lake, situated in the
Cascade mountains, about rs miles
northwest from Jacksonville. This
lake rivals the famous valley of Sin
bad the Sailor. 1t is thought to av-
erage 1000 feet down to the water
all round. The walls are almost per.
pendicular, running down into the
water and leaving no beach. The
depth OF the water is unknown, and
its surface is smooth and unruffled,
as it lies 80 far below the surface of
the mountain that the air currents
do not affect it. It's length is esti-
mated at II miles, and its width at
10. There is an island in the centre,
having trees upon IL. No living man
ever has, and probably ever will, be
able TO reach the waters edge. 1t
lies silent, still and mysterious in the
bosom Of the everlasting hills" like
huge well scooped out by the hands
Of the giant genii of the mountains,
in the unknown ages gone by, aud
around it the primeval forests watch
and ward are keeping.
The visiting party fred n rife
several times into the water, at an
angle of forty.fve degrees, and were
able to note several seconds of time
from the report Of the gun until the
ball struck the water surface. Such
seems incredible, but is vouched for
by some Of our most reliable citizens
The lake is certainly a most remark
able curiosity.-Jachsonyi1e (Oye-
g0n) Sentinel.
