Brazil and River Plata Mail, an
English journal, has an account of a
colony of Welshmen in Patagonia
They have established themselves on
the banks Of the river Chupat, a
beautiful stream capable of naviga-
tion, in the Northeast section Of the
country. The soil is said to be of
excellent quality, very suitable for
growing wheat and all cereals, and
there are splendid pastures for sheep
and cattle. The river Chupat empties
into New Bay, which is magnificent
basin, and the harbor of the colony is
safe and capacious.

EXTINCTION OF THE AFRICAN.
Grant states that more than one-fifth
Of the negroes of the South have
died since 1861. Many excellent
Northern people are amazed-horror-
stricken. Gen. Grant does not tell
the whole story. He has only seen
the effects of liberation from his
standpoint as a leader Of armies. He
may know how fatal war has proven
to colored soldiers and camp-follow-
ers, but he has seen little of the work
of death on farms, and in Southern
villages and cities. Few negro chill
dren are born, and nineteen twen-
tieths die within year after birth.
Marital ties are everywhere disregard
ed, and throughout the South dis
eases more fatal to negroes than the
small pox are universally prevalent
The care of children, once compulso-
ry, is no longer practiced. The ac-
ton of Congress, constant misrepre-
sentation of ex-masters, annoyances
to which people are subjected by
many fanatical agents of the Bureau,
and the falsehoods published by
Northern papers, all tend to silence
the voice Of kindness, and withhold
the extended hand of sympathy. A
few more years Of radical supremacy
and the negro race will be extinct.
Those who most hate the African,
should desire most the triumph of
Stevens party.-1Memphis Bulletin.

The FREEDMEN BUREAU IN SOUTH
CAROLINA. Philadelphia Press,
of the 18th inst, has the following
despatch from Washington, in rela-
ton to the freedmen's condition in
this State: j.
Gen.. Howard has received letters
from Gen. VIM. P. Richardson, COM
manding the District of Eastern South
Carolina, and from resident Of that
district, which give an unusually
favorable account of the improvement
in the relations between the whites
and blacks of that section. Gen. Ri
chardson says all the freedmen are
employed for the present year, and
the planters unhesitatingly confess
that they are working much better
than when they were slaves. The
planters are showing their confidence
in the freedmen by planting as largely
as their capital and lands will permit.
The demand for hands is great. One
gentleman at Society Hill offers from
621s cents to 81 per day, besides a
share i'll the crop. Another gentle
man says he would not be willing to
return to the old system of slavery,
as his profits are now larger, and he
has much less trouble with the hands
on the plantation.

An EASY MONEY MARKET.

The condition of the money market
in the four chief financial centers of the
world is strikingly anomalous. In New
York and Paris, money is abundant at
four per cent: in London the bank rate
is ten per cent; in Frank fort, which is
the financial center of Germany and all
Northern Europe, money affairs are IN
SO unsettled a condition that no quo
tations can be made at ALL But tia one
fact Of great interest to Us is, that the
Strongest government securities in
Frankfort just now, or rather few
days ago, were United States Bonds.
And yet, some money writers have been
eonjuring up terrible visions Of the ruin
that would come upon us when the three
or four hundred millions of our five
twenty bonds held there, should be sent
back and the Gold upon them demand
ed. But Europe is much more likely to
send over and buy more, than to return
What is now carried there. In case of q
protracted war, Europe will want not
our Gold, but bread, beef, cotton, and
ships to transport her troops, and will
pay for them in what we most need.

sIGNIFICANT--D DECIDEDLY.

Arrangements had been made to have
the negro soldiers take part in the grand
military pageant. in Philadelphia, on
the 4th. But the white soldiers would
not permit it. The result was that the
darkies of the city did not turn out even
to witness the imposing ceremonies.
The soldiers expressed their sentiments
50 emphatically on the proposition to
have the negroes march in the pro-
cession with them, Il at the abolition
radicals did not deem it prudent to pres
the matter at all. Thi, does not look
as if the negro suffrage ticket would
receive much aid from the soldier boys
at the approaching election in Pennsyl.

line, and were commanded by Generals

self placed before the country in such
position of ridicule and contempt. that
his brain is crazed with impotent rage.
His friends, if he has any, should con-
fine him in a lunatic asylum. There is
danger of his laying violent hands on
himself in absolute desperation. With
a future without hope, present sur
rounding him with universal scorn. and
a past that lives in the recoilections of
unmitigated guilt, his soul, even now is
gnawed by the deathless worm of retri-

pity mingles with the contempt which
the President feels for this doomed and
helpless wretch, and that he forbears to
infiict upon him that punishment which
his traitorous rawlings demand. The
country duly appreciates this exercise of

\ revolt of a formidable character

to have occurred in Cuba. Five COM

against the insurgents. 4 fight ensued,
in which the Colonel and two other Off

of the Government soldiers went over
to the insurgents. The latter, thus re-
inforced, and numbering some seven
thousand proceeded to the mountain
regions. Two steamers were then sent
from Havana, loaded with troops.
Shortly after four steamers, flying the
CHILEAN flag, and having two thousand
troops on board, appeared near Navias,
effected landing near that place. 1t is

STATE CONVENTION.

The Convention called by the Stato
Executive Committee, to meet at Par
kersburg, on the 22d day of Auonst
next, will be of great Importance. in il
influence upon the political CAMPAIGN
the coming fall. Every county of the
State should be represented b. its bE.z
men. Without reference to past party
distinctions, all who are opposed to the
unjust and destructive measures of radi.
calism, should unite in the most earnest
efforts for its defeat. The crisis that *
upon Us demands the concentration of
all the elements Of conservatism into
one solid phalanx of opposition, to the
radical party. This lawless party. Is
daily engaged in undermining the foun.
dations Of our Government, and unless
soon arrested in their career of madness
and guilt, our Republic will be over
whelmed in utter ruin.
Let then the Convention at Parkers
burg, by its numbers and character. de-
monstrate 10 the State, and to the
country, that tie power of radcalisn
here is broken. and the day of deliver
ance is at hand.
