WHAT MISSISSIPPI DOES NOT WANT.
Mississippi needs no more of those self -ap-
pointed emissaries whocome here to teach
the negroes their rights, and infame
their minds against their former masters
and against the race who are to employ
them, and benefit them if they are to be
learned the useful arts at all. The mill
tary and civil authorities are amply able
to take care of their rights and see that
they are provided in their full enjoyment
These unscrapulous agitators who ap-
point themselvesin the name of the north,
to come down here and tell the negro
what he ought to do if the government
don't do this or that, ought to be shipped
back to their homes and warned not to
return. . There is another class Missis-
-sippi does not need, which il 50 well ex-
pressed by the Richmond Republic that

tion to the stock, in the shape Of noisy

The NoRTaERN PREss AND THE
SOUTHERN PEoPLE,-The Nashville
Union has the following sensible views
which We take pleasure ia transferring
\ to our columns:
Many Of the Northern papers have
adopted the shor:-sightsd or malicious
policy Of seizing on isolated instances OF
violence and crime in the Southern States
especially ifthe negro is in any way a
victim-and commenting on them to the
prejudice Of the returning loyalty and
sense Of Justice Of the Southern people.
This course is extremely reprrhensible.
The great mass of the Southern people
are as free from violence and crime as
any oAer people OIL the globe They
participated in the rebellion, because
they were led to believe their rights Of
liberty, property, and the pursuit Of hap
piness, were in danger; but, having been
defeated, they have accepted the result,
and are desirous Of conforming to it, and
establishing themselves under she pro
lection Of the Federal Constitution.
Some may make false steps, Lad men
may commit crimes, but it j. manifestly
improper to hold all responsible. The
Southern people must not be jEdged by
The expressions Of opinion from this Or
that man, nor by the actions Of others in
a private capacity. When they speak
through regular constituted bodies. rep
resenting public sentiment, then il will
be proper to weigh their acts, and if
found wanting, To condemn them.
Suppose We were ts take up the re-
cords Of crime. we see daily in the news
papers, and assume that they represent
public sentiment and morals at the Nerth.
We might point to the murder BY q son
of mother and sister for money; Of a
father and mother by son; of the hang
ing by mob Of negroes; and the erder-
ing of Others out of the State by unau-
thorized authority. We might hold up
the statement Of the Washington CORES
-pondent Of the PittEburg Commercial,
which declares of the National Capital:
''Our city IS at present huge den Of
highway robbers, burglars, and garro-
tiers. There is scarely night but some
person is knocked down and robbed in
the most frequented streets in the city
Hardly 4 night but houses are robbed Of
articles by the cart load. Men cannot
60 to market without having their peck
cts picked. No arrests are made"
Or We might refer TO the startling fact
that within the past three months twen-
ty thousand persons have been arrested
in the city Of New York alone, for crimes
representing all grades, from murder, ar
son and theft, down to drunkenness We
might refer to the thousands Of other in
stances Of crime and violence, with which
tie press teen; but who would justify Us
ia declaring them to be the offspring Of
Northern society-as reflections of the
character and spirit Of tie people2
Still it would be quite. a proper fer
such differences TO be made, as many that
the Northorn press deduce from isolated
instances Of crime in the South.
Let uE all be just and honest See
things as they are, and deal with them in
: spirit Of liberation and fairness

coin now current on this continent which
is not round is The fifty dollar goldniece

that f-r many years money has been

EMIGRARIoN TO BRAZiL-As there il
much inquiry upon the subject Of Brazil
ian emigration, the resources. advanta
ges and privileges in the great South
American Empire. We give below, for thu
information Of all such, letter from q
resident Of the Empire, together with Z
circular upon the subject by the Brazil
ian government, written to the New Y ori
Journal of Commerce:
Rio de Janeirs, June IA. 1865 Last
week I received letter from j. II. Ma
varro, Esq, Of New York, asking infor-
nation concerning the price of lands in
Brazil, and the disposition of the impe-
rial government towards those who might
wish to emigrats to Brazil ! immedi
ately went to the Minister of Agricul
ture and Public Works, who is also Chief
Of the Land Office, and ascertained
that good land fit for sugar, cotton, TO-
bacco and coffee, in healthy climate,
could be obtained at government prices
A cents per acre cash down, according
to my calculations,) in the more cooler
and southern provinces Of Espiritu San
to, Sac Paulo, Parana, St Catharina,
and Rio Grande do Sui. In all the pro-
vinces but the last two, coffee can be
raised in addition to the other staples
mentioned. Parana and Rio Grande do
Sui are well adapted to cattle and sheep
raising. Some plantations under way
can be bought in various provinces.
A. Arrange, Esq, the agent Of the
United States and Brazil Steamship
Company, has obtained minute informa
ton and maps Of the public lands in the
provinces mentioned and has transmitted
them to j. 4. Navarro, Esq, No. IL
Broadway. ii. NJ. Lane, Esq, mer-
chant Of Rio, goes to the United States
by the Grey Eagle, and he can give
much information On this subject. The
Brazilian Consul General. Chevalier
d'Aguiar, will doubtless receive full in
structions from his government when
the new Brazilian Minister, Sr Azam-
buja, arrives. Let no one come without
full investigation. The sentiment Of
the Braz lian Government in regard to
immigration, may be seen in the memo
randum, a translation of which il ap
pended There j., however, one fixed
condition, viz: no slaves can be imported
here from any country whatever If q
slave puts his foot on Brazilian soil, he is
free.
Very faithfully yours,

dent Of the Boston Traveller writes:
Dr. Craven, Medical director at Fortress
Monroe, under whose especial care JEFF
ferson Davis j. placed, gives accounts Of
the condition and department Of his pris-
oner. He represents Davis in excellent
health, but troubled in spirit. The
guards are regular in their attendance
upon him, too constant in their atten-
tions TO please the fallen chief. Free
communications occur between Davis
and DR. Craven, but no one else il per
mitted to engage Davis in talk. For q
few moments, the other day, Davis and
G. o. Clay met Oh the grounds, and had
very brief conference in French, ol
which the guards understood nothing
With this exception JEFF. Davis has had
no communication with any one but his
medical adviser, and none whatever by
letter with anybody. He frequently
makes an attempt to allude to his own
case, to discuss the chances Of his trial
and punishment, or to get some idea O

not sufficient respect of poor Toby's fall
ing in the ditch, and not being able to
get out. from, poverty and exhaustion,
died. The missionary, not knowing that
Toby was donkey, spread report over
the neighborhood that one of Mr.. Pts
negroes. starved and exhausted from neg
lect and misery, had fallen into q ditch
and died, What nice bit for Mrs.
Stowe, and her bonnie annie, the Duchess
Of. Sutherland Such has been the source
Of many ISLANDERS against the planters
here as in the colonies. Though a good
loyal tory, Mr.. Premium, in October,
1912, could not refrain from registering
this sad reflection "But the sad fact is
present to the mind of every coIonist,
that his adopted country is only consid-
cred by the dominant party Of the State
in the light Of something to be used in
promoting the interest of the mother
country, when that is possible. And
when the unhappy colony humbly repre-
snts how the parent can assist the child
and begs that it may be done, its appli-
cation is regarded as a saucy piece Of
impudence. and the reply is, it will be
injurious to the interest Of England 4
With US there is this difference--that
the inquiry is, what is the interest Of the
manufacturer a-d the coal and iron mass
ters of the north, with now and then a
little bribery to the sugar planterl In
all other respects, the South stands in a
purely colonial attitude towards the
north, whose interests alone are consid-
cred or respected. If Canada now con-
stitutss an exception from the common
courss heretofore pursued towards the
colonies, she owes it not alone to the lib
erality and good sense of Lord Durham,
their late governor, but to her proximity
to the United States, and to the danger
of tampering with her under such cir
cumstances. In Great Britain. tenants
of houses are not allowed to receive and
harber bad subjects, but in the colonies
it is quite otherwise with the negro. So
in America, the white fugitive from JUS
tice is promptly surrendered, while the
negro fellows are concealed, harbored by
clergymen, women and statesmen. Mr.
Premium, and the greater part Of the
population on his plantation, were an
noyed by q rascal not employed on the
place, but who could not Be turned of,
because he was the guest of a negro wo-
man who had house on the estate.
Such is even the zeal of abolition law
for black people. AS soon a. negro
acquires land enough to bring crop Of
bananas or plantains, it is impossible to
get him to work on any plantation, or to
do more than to render some little assist
ance to bountifnl nature. in the produc-
tion of his little crop. White laborers
brought in, not being suited to or not
liking plantation work, become huck-
sters, carriers, porters and pedlars; and
add greatly, as they do here, to the cor
ruption and drunkenness Of the negro
population. In short, as many are with
US, mere receivers of stolen goods, and
follow much more readily the precepts Of
Jonathan Wild than of the Bible.
To be continued.

carried, that very little rebel money can

paying sometimes as high as five cents
on the dollar. When the city was evac.

gun, and it is likely that,ere many weeks
every county town in the State will
have. q company Of U. 5. troops quarter
cd at the court house The people gen

but it is subject Of universal regret
among them that black troops should
have been 50 largely used in carrying il
into execution. The points in the inte-
