4 DiscOuraging Report from Brazil
Special Correspondence OF the Picaynne.
RIO De JANEIRo, June 2, 1866.


beg leave, as an American citizen, 10
insert a few lines in your columns, with
regard TO American emigration TO this
country Brazil. Much has been said with
ragard 10 the great resources and beauti-
full scenery, which is all very true; but as
for its fertility for agriculture and general
farming purposes, more can be raised on
one acre of good land in the States than
ten OF the best here, and the same proper
ton in regard to labor-onc man can ac
complish more in the States than ten here.
During my stay here (some eight months),
ont of some twenty families that have come
out here, Il quarter Of them have died
the general avcrage-and most OF those
that were left were sent home by charity
subscriptions ola few true Americans who
are here).
| feel it my duty as IN American citizen
and lover of the American people to ex-
pose and publish certain partics-hcavy
English, German, Brazilian, and Jewish
mcrchants-who have formed q society or
company, with large capital, and who
style themselves the Emigration So
cicty," to deceive and induce Southern
people to sacrifice their property in the
States to emigratc to II country repre-
scented as Paradise, which has proved
worse than hell if there can be such a
thing) to most Of those who have come
here as cmigrantS, being cut off from all
good society and morality, and are obliged
10 associate with mongrel race, Indian,
negro, and Portuguese, speaking differ
cnt language from their own.

THE NATIONAL CONVENTION AT PHILA-
DELPHIA.-Thc responses already made to
the call for National Union Convention
to assemble at Philadelphia on the 1ith Of
August give promise Of al imposing gather
ing from every section of the Union upon
that occasion. The eleven southern States
will he represented by delegates Of the
highest character and responsibility, who
will come fresh from their constituencies
with testimony clear and unequivocal TO
rcfutc the libels upon their truth when
they now declare fidelity to the Union,
and which have been so lavishly dissent
mated from the Radical committee de-
viscd for the purpose at Washington. II
the movement is to result in national
benefit, as we believe it will, there ought
10 be no call from county or State convcn-
tons to send delegates under party names.

A CowARDLY ATTEMPT TO MURDER A
CITIZEN OF NEW HANOVER, NORTH CARO-
LINA.-A cowardly effort was made on
Thursday night, the 9th, to kill Mr.. Will
liam J. Walker, a peaceable, inofiensive
citizen, living on Long creek, in New Ha-
mover county. He was shot near the shoul-
der in each arm with large shot, and the
wounds are dangerous. lie was aroused
about midnight from sleep by the effects of
fire, and found his house burning up. In
attempting to extinguish the flames he was
fired upon from ambush, and the guilty
party then fed. Circumstances point with
unerring certainty to Ned Bell and Hardy
McAllister, freedmen, in that section, as
being connected with this djabolical deed.
One or both, no doubt, attempted to kill
him. These villains and thieves have been
committing with impunity all manner of
thefts, and rascalities since they were freed,
upon the good people of Long creek and
vicinity, and Mr.. Walker recently exposed
some of their villainy. They threatened
the life of himself and others for such ex-
position and revenge prompted these
scoundrels in this secret attempt to MUIR
der. Mr.. Walkers condition II preca-

From the National Republican Of yesterday.
Naffounf Convention.

In many of the States active steps have
been taken to have full and able dclega-
tions to the proposed National Union Con-
vention at Philadelphia, August Ia. In
others there seems to be some misunder-
standing as to the manner in which dele
gates are to be chosen. With a view to
give tho proper information, circular,
cmanating from the National Union Com
mittcc, has just been issued and sent into
all the States and Territories. The ndi-
cations are that this Convention will be
one of the most imposing and important
assembagcs ever held in this country.
The circular recommends that there be
sent from each State four delegates at
large and two from each congressional dis
trict who favor the principles set forth in
the call, to be taken from the supporters
of Lincoln and Johnson in 1864, and like
number from their opponents. Also, four
delegates from each Territory and four
from the District Of Columbia. In those
States whereof portion of the people
were lately in rebellion, corresponding
number Of delegates may be chosen by the
people generally who accept the principles
stated in the call. 1t is not intended, how
ever, that these suggestions shall interfere
with any arrangements already made for
the selection Of delegates. 1t is left en-
tircly to the political organizations in the
different States and districts that concur
in the principles Of the call to decide
whether they will choose their delegates
by joint or separate meetings, or by their
executive committees. The paramount
object of the movement is to bring into q
great national conference from all parts
of our distracted country wise and patri-
otto men, who may devise a plan of politi-
cal action calculated to restore national
unity, fraternity, and harmony, and secure
to an afflicted people that which is so sin,
cercly desired by all good mcn-thc prac-
teal blessings of an enduring peace.

VINO NAY GO TO PHILApELrHIA.-Thc
National IatNigcnc0 of yesterday, as ii
replying to certain captious editors i'll
Virginia, has the following paragraph:
"Thc object of the National Union
Convention is plainly and uncquivocally
expressed in the call for it. There is not
one patriotic lover Of the Union and sup
porter of the Constitution, north or south,
whatever may be his party associations,
who cannot consistently endorse that call
for convention. 1t requires no man to
cease to be Il Wing, a Democrat, or a Re-
publican. 1t presents one single issue
the only important issue now before the
country. II appeals to all men desiro"s Of
n restoration OF national unitn fraternity,
a,d harmony, TO mite in Il national confer
eltce for that pWYoSe."

PROFESSOR Low SArE.-Wc announced il
dav or two ago that Professor Low had
made an ascent in his balloon, and had not
since been heard Of The New York Heratt
says that, going swiftly in northcastcrly
direction, the good air-ship United States,
with its dauntless skipper ever at its helm,
rapidly passed the bounds Of the city, and
at height of two miles and half crossed
the East river and stood motionlcss over
Long Island sound. Here he commenced
to descend slowly, when, striking the under
current, it was again driven towards the
neighborhood of Fort Schuyler. Then the
Professor jocularly proposed to his com
panion to try sail i'll the balloon on the
water and after having refreshed them
selves from divers bottles, which had been
provided for the contingency of either OF
the vovagcrs getting thirsty-not an i'm
probable one on such day-thcy decided
to attempt the sail. Gradually losing its
buoyancy as a consequence Of the valve
being opened, the inflated monster nearcd
the earth. Trees, houses, ships, and the
water itself, which had appeared so insig-
nifcant minute before, gradually grew in
size and Importance, until it seemed as
though the balloon were about to sink into
the bowels of the earth; but when within
q hundred feet of the surface the buoy was
lowered into Pelham bay.
Here one of the most picturesque sights
it is possible to imagine was presented.
The white sails of an hundred pleasure
boats were moving slowly along the calm
surface of the water, while along the shore
tourists in costumes light as air lazily held
fishing rods with quiet enjoyment. a
dozen skifs were put off with friendly
offers of assistance to the balloonists; but
the air-ship itself skinned the surface OF
the water with the grace Of bird. Despite
the trining inconvenience of wet jackets
and spoiled provisions, the sail, although
of short duration, was thoroughly enjoya-
Bile. In few minutes after this peculiar
landing" the balloon was surrounded by
boats, and, taking advantage of the friend
illness of their occupants, the aerial travel
lers got into one of them, and were rowcd
in triumph to Island City, Westchester
county.
