Petrolem is doubtless a portion Of
the vet undevelOped wealth of Brazil
Why should it not be when nature
seems to have set her seal upon that
country which teens with her bounties
As vet however, no Yankee bore has
made the attempt and left no record
published no bulletin of having struck
lie in the land of thccocoa and the palm
of milk and honey, of fruits and flow

Every vessel from the States takes
to Brazil and lands at Rio from two to
ten emigrants, at least such was the
case during the motnhs of October,
November and December last. OF
these latter a correspondent writing
of date March IS, 1866, from San
Paulo, says
Soon after your departure from
Rio all the Americans began to scatter
and hunt up locations, &c San Paulo
Province, our old route, and the reser-
yations of 215 by 325 miles christened
by us Nova Americana, was the desti-
nation of many, with party of whom
from Georgia, Alabama and Missouri
| journeyed in company for some days.

ton, with the Arraraquara and Jahu
districts, our selected site, if possible
than on our first visit None can fail
to like it. Norris d Cloutier from
Ala y have purchased a fazenda farm
on the Limeira road near Campinas for

pleased with the purchase. Ashee and
wife are living in Campinas, the one
planting a garden and the other teach
ing English and French. Morrison

San Paulo has been made Imperial
Minister of Finance and as yet no sue
cessor has been appointed to the Pres

Blues colony, settled in St. Catharina
on the coast. has felt this, and most of
them are returning to the States, or
will as soon as they can procure means.
That climate and its scanty produc-
tons disgust them. I:hear that DR.. J.
NJ. F. CASTOR (of Columbia, S CO.
admires Iguape near the sea in San
Paulo and has purchased three
leagues, and that the Rev Mr.. Ballard
> Dunn (of La, has bought from 80
to so leagues, with view to com
mence settling there. 1 predict that
if these lands lie on the mountains
nearest the coast in less than two years
all will leave for the States or the inte-
rior of the Province. Brazilians have
tried the experiment and it is policy
for us to profit by their experienc.
II understand there have been
large meetings held in Rio by the peo-
pie, at which one of the Ministers,
Paulo eSouza, made a public speech
in favor oft, Immigration stating
that as soon as the war was ended
and that would be shortly-they had
plenty of steamers, and the best use
they could be applied to, was to send
for emigrants A minister making a
public speech is unprecedented here,
and the Liberals all think it stride to-
wards Republicanism, and much re
joice at it. They also, in the meeting,
to the people and legislstors
to do away with any and every law in
favor of Brazilians exclusively, and to
let all who come here have equal |
rights, political and religious Ihope |
you will be successful in all efforts to |
movement in the South in |
this direction, and from the little | |
hear, your road to success will be pre-

Another correspondent writing
from Bahia, confirms the assurances |
made me personally last January in an |
interview L had with the
President of that Province, and au
thorizes me to publish rare indictment
offered to emigrants to that Province,
which is second to none in the Empire
.or geniality of climate, richness of
soil, abundance of fine streams and
water power, and, magnificent forests
If timber, health, progress, &c. The
writer states
Il have just returned from the
lvers Rico Pardo and Jackatinoni. |
where found the lands equal if not
to the best lands in louisiana.
There is a good harbor at the mouth
# each river for any sized vessel, the
mouths opening into the sea only ten
niles apart. At the mouth of the
'arde is beautiful village called Can
verriz, and another at the mouth of
he Jackstanoni called Belmont

niles, through lovely valley of level 6
sandy soil, the best in my
alignment, for sugar and cotton. As I
