RETURN OF DIsGUsTED BRAZILIAN EMI-
GRANTs.-The Montgomery (AIa.) Advertiser
gives the following account OF the return of q
party OF disappointed Southerners, who had
obstinately insisted on exiling themselves and
seeking home in Brazil:
There arrived at the Central Hotel last night
party OF ladies and gentlemen who left
Brazil last month"; thoroughly, totally, heartily
disguised with their new homes among the
hybrid masses in the overrated, well fiattered
country of Brazil. The party is composed
entirely Of Alabamians They give affecting
and pitiful accounts OF sufferings of many
hundreds Of deluded Southerners, who
were lured away from their friends by
the tempting offers OF the Brazilian Gov
eminent, and the tales OF wild and imuul
sive American adventurers. They represent
that there is no regularly organized govern
ment In Brazil-there is no society-but little
cultivation among the Inhabitants-no lauda-
Bile ambition-no ways OF making money
the people scarcely know the mean ing OF the
word "kindness, the America ci.ize as live
about in huts, uncared for-there is general
dissatisfaction among the emisrants and the
Whole Brazil representation is humbug
and farce. The American Consul is in re-
ceipt Of numerous and constant applications
from helpless American citizens to assist then,
In getting back TO their true and rightful coun-
try.

The Metropolitan Sanitary Commission OF
London states some interesting facts about

acre as would raise eleven thousand cubic feet
