ton to Louisiana. He thinks it the best
reconstructed State in the South. The peo.
pie are in good humor, and the freedmen
and all are at work in reconstruoting plan
tations and wrecked fortunes.
- The New York Herald thus discour-
ses of the Freedman's Bureau: "Our cor.
respondence from all parts of the Southern
country continues to furnish us with illus
trations in regard to the workings of the
Freedmen's Bureau anything but creditable
to that radical institution. This Bureau,
from all the intelligence We can CLEAN, sp'
pears to be nothing more nor less than re-
vival of the odious inter. State slave systems
and the huge monopoly by Government en-
ployees of the profits arising therefrom. 1t
is hateful to both whites and blacks to
the former for the reason that it maintains
a military tyranny which is source OF
continual irritation to all parties, and &C.
complishes nothing beneficial in the way
of psci6cation and harmony; and it is de-
tested by the blacks because it revives sla-
very in its most offensive form-namely,
the transfer of negro families from State to
State, and every remove another step he'

NEGRO RIOTS.

The passage by Congress of the Civil
Rights Bill, is already bringing its evil
fruits upon the country, like the plaques
which infested Egypt under the rebellious
Pharoah. Norfolk, Va, has recently been
the scene of a serious riot between the ne.
groes and whites, caused by the impudence
and turbulence of the former, under their
new legal status The telegraph this week
announces serious disturbance in Mem.
phis, Tenn, resulting in loss of life and de-
struction of property. The citizens of Fal-
mouth aud Petersburg, Va, have been
stricken with terror BY the outrages and
lawlessness of the negro, and in the riots
last week, few whites and several negroes
we're killed outright Similar scenes have
occurred of late in nearly all the Southern
States, andare sufficient cause for reflection
to those who insist upon thrusting horde
of barbariaus into a position of social and
political citizenship. Such revolutions can
not be effected without the shedding Of
blood This unhappy country should be
spared, at least for time, from wasting
more oft.

."THE SITUATION"

The struggle between President JOHN
SON supporting the Constitution, and a
Radical Congress determined upon its COM
plete and final subversion, has been one of
the most desperate in the political annals of
this country. Thus far neither power has
effected any coup d etat Of sufficient impor-
tance to assure it of final victory. The
passage of the Civil Rights Bill over the
Presidents Veto, exhibits the strength Of
Congressional power, while the Peace Proc
lamation closely following it, has re.estab-
lished the Executive prestige.
But there are recent indications of the
strength of the Presidents policy, exhibit
ed through the opinions of his Cabinet
For long time nearly equally divided upon
the issues between the two branches of the
Government, they are, with one exception,
now announced as firm supporters of the
President. A recent meeting of the Cab
met was held to discuss the proposition
coming from the Committee on Reconstruc-
ton, and all of its members, except Secre-
tary HARLAN, are reported as firmly sup
porting the views of the President in oppo.
sition to this obnoxious report. This cir
cumstance brings feeble ray of hope for q
final solution of the difficulty.
Washington news items indicate serious
doubts as to the ability of Congress to pass,
by two.thirds vote, the amendments report
ed by the Committee. Some of these pre-
tend to assert the views of prominent Re-
publicans, to the effect that not single one of
the amendments will pass. We publish
the report in full.
The new tax bill, now before Congress,
and which will, in all probability, pass
without serious notifications, is alarming.
The tax on cotton is placed at FIVE cents per
pound, as recommended by the Internal
Revenue Commission, and will probably
become law. On many articles of Nor
tbern manufacture the tax has been mate.
rally reduced. Rebels must pay dearly fol
getting whipped.
A stirring little debate arose in the Sen
ate last week, upon the presentation by MIR.
JOHNSON, of Maryland, of letter from
Gen. WADE HAMPTON denying the asser-
ton of Gen. SHERMAN that the burning oi
Columbia, S. G., was the act of the former
The letter was a diguifed and manly re-
buke of the subterfuge that sought to shift
the responsibility of this diabolicaI act to
other shoulders; and it was the occasion Of
eliciting from the Seuator-brother of the
Infamous incendiary, ashower of abuse upon
the 'simpudent letter" If this courtly rebel

FOREIGN NEWS.

The issue between Prussia apd Austria,
on the question of the Duchies wrested
from Denmark, is gradually disappearing.
The relations between the two powers are
growing more pacific, anditis now generally
believed that diplomacy instead of the
sword, will settle the dispute. Austria is
stated to be ready for concessions, and the
whole of Europe joins iu energetic remou.
strances against the inauguration of hostil-
tiles.
The bombardment and destruction of tie
city of Valparaiso, in Chill, by the Spanish
feet, presents an act Of barbarism that ha:
no comparison except in the recent war in
this country. The town was not defended;
not hostile gun answered the missiles o.
the Spanish fleet; yet the city was laid il
utter ruins, and an English and American
squadron of war ships quietly looked or
and permitted the outrage. The affair hal
created storm of indignation from civil
lied nations, against the cowardly and in
human act.
The news from Mexico is unimportan
and conflicting. The Juarists and 1mpe
rial forces each claim a recent victory nea
chihuahua, but the results are probably o
little consequence.
Tie Fenians seem to have collapsed, ant
nothing more is heard of the Canada inva
sion. O'MAHoNEY, the American Heat
Centre, is in disgrace, and the only question
now occupying the attention of this inter
esting association, is how to get hold of tn
immense sums of money the deluded Irisl
contributed to this foolish enterprise.

FORT GAINES, Ga. April II, 1866.
My Dear Sir: After an absence of near.
ly ten months, for the purpose of learning
the resources of Brazil, I reached this place
yesterday evening, finding my family well,
and 10 comparative comfort, SO far as the
means Of living are concerned, but under
the cloud of the Civil Rights Bill.
Your letter in regard to the result of my
visit, cannot be answered in full within the
limits of letter; and having many similar
inquiries, I have prepared the record of
my tour of observation for publication, SO
as to meet this demand for reliable data, re.
specting the soil, productions, industrial
appliances, health, population and Govern
ment of Brazil. A tedious voyage in re-
turning, enabled me to arrange the materi-
ais collected in the country; and they only
await the printer, to be presented to the
public in an octave volume of about four
hundred pages. With view to place the
book in the hands of those who desire early
information, witboutthe expense Of retailing,
I expect to arrange with the publisher to
furnish the advance copies to subscribers by
Express. My impression is that it can be
sold thus for sl.50 per copy; and if you
feel disposed to make up list and forward
to me, with the name of the depot at which
you desire the package sent, they can be
paid for on delivery.
I can say in general terms, that the phys
ical aspects of Brazil are favorable to afford
ing desirable settlement for our people;
and while there are some things connected
with the state of society, as we'll as the
Government, which are not-as We could
wish them to be, the people and officers
manifest readiness to modify these regula-
tions, so as to make all satisfactory TO our
people. Steps are already initiated for this
purpose, and the general tone of feeling in
the country is favorable to the immigration
of people from the Southern States.
You are perhaps aware that missionary
enterprise, under the auspices of the Pres
byteriau Church, has been in progress for
five years, in Rio de Janeiro, and extend.
ing to the province of San Paulo. The
Rev. Mr. Simonton of Baltimore, aud Rev.
A. L Blackford of Ohio, are the chief
movers in this work, having others associa-
ted with them both in preaching and col.
portage. A Catholic priest, was received
into the ministry while I was there; and

terry which met in the city of San Paulo,

ANOTHER sPECK OF WAR.

A few weeks ago this Government sent
instructions to Mr., MOTLEY, its Minister
at the Court of Austria, to demonstrate a.
gainst the sending of troops by that power,
to the support of MACMILLAN in Mexico,
as contrary to American policy, and dan
gerous to the harmony of the two nations.
Late European dates bring the information
that the first detachments of these troops
have already sailed for Vera Cruz, and that
Others are soon to follow. Gossip further
says that the Austrian Minister at Wash
ington, is preparing to leave without wait
ing for his dismissal, and that the prospects
for war with Austria, are daily becoming
more formidable. We give these statements
for what they are worth.

The Season.

Continuous rains have operated to the se-
rious disadvantage of the early crops in
this District. The cool weather has been
unfavorable to the cotton crop. A much
smaller quantity of land than usual has
been planted, and the seed being damaged
by time, have produced bad stands. Farm
ers do not appear hopeful of the results.
In recent trip through the Western
part of this District and portion CT Union,
we noticed the same difficulties existing
The wheat crops in the latter District are
highly promising.

BRAZIL AND EMIGRATION.

Mr.. Editor:-I take the liberty of send
ing you, for publication, the following let.
ter from Dr. GAsToN, formerly of Colum.
bia, and no doubt, well-known to many Of
your readers. l do so in the conviction
that it will be of interest and importance to
not few of the people of this country
The facts of the past and the present, and
the probabilities of the future, have turned
the thoughts of many of them to emigra.
ton, and information in regard to those
foreign lands which invite the settlement of
our people, is sought for eagerly, even by
some who have not fully resolved to seek
home undera different sky. DR.. GAsToN's
high Intelligence, quickuess of perception,
and GOODNESS and sobriety of judgment, will
render his observations and conclusions in
regard to Brazil, exceedingly valuable and
trustworthy. The moderation and absence
of all attempt at exaggeratiou exhibited in
the following letter; commend his state
ments to entire confidence. I will add that
DR.. GAsToN is not uppracticed as writer
for the public, and we may expect his prom.
ised volume to prove interesting and iustruc.
tive, even to those who de- not think of
joining colony in Brazil.
Allow me to state further, that am ma.
king up list of subscribers for him, and
will take pleasure in adding other names to
those have already obtained. May I re.
quest the favor of you, to receive the names
of any who may wish to procure the publi-
cation, and who cannot conveniently com.
municate with ue, and to forward them to
me when opportunity offers?

BIsHops OF THE NJ E. CHURCH SOUTH
The Bishops of the NJ. E. Church South,
elected by the General Conference at New
Orleans, Messrs. Wightman, Doggett, Nc,
Tyiere and Marvin-are all men of talent
and distiotion in the Church. We learn that
their elevation to the Episcopal Office is
likely to be very generally, not to say uni
versally, approved by the clergy and laity Of
the church. Rev. W. NJ. Wightmao, D. D.,
one of the Bishops elect, was, until within
the past few years, a member of the South
Carolina Conference. He has been of late
a resident of Alabama and President of
Greensboro, College, is perhaps, fifty years
old, and has considerable reputation as
man of learning and pulpit orator.
Rev. Dr. Doggett is, perhaps, a few
years the junior of DR.. Wightman, has been
member of the Virginia Conference, was
for four years editor of the Quarterly Re-
view, and since the close of the war has
been one of the editors of the Episcopal
Methodist, a Church paper published in
Richmond, Va.
Rev. Fl. N. McTyeire, d. D., younger
man than DR.. Doggett, was for four years
prior to the war, editor of the Nashville
Christian Advocate, and previous to that
time had been editor of the New Orleans
Advocate, and of late has been pastor of the
Church at Montgomery, Ala.
Rev E. NJ. Marvin, D. D., is a native
of Missouri, has been member of the St.
Louis Conference since his youth, until a
few years since, when he moved South, and

The Freedman.

The new system of freed labor, so far
as we can learn, is Lot operating satisfacto.
rily; but better than many expected. In
many instances contracts are not observed
by the freedmen, and new ones are made
with other parties, after they have become
tired of the old. If farmers would steadi.
ly refuse to hire such laborers as have quit.
ted their first employees, much of the evil
would be remedied. Would it not be well
to consider this matter?
