EMANCIPATION IN BRAzIL--Ihe cause OF
universal freedom is making progress, and
we may look forward with confidence to the
day when there shall not be slave on either
Of the American Continents. It's announc-
ed that the emperor Of Brazil has issued
decree Of Emancipation. The decree was
signed by the Emperor on the Sth day OF
Anil. All children born after that day IN
Brazil are to be free but twenty years are
to &c allowed io- the complete emancipation
Of those held as slaves before that date.
Brazil he's been gradually preparing FOR
this decisive step during several years. The
government, prohibited tie importation OF
slaves, SUNG few years ago, and has cooper
ated with the governments who were associ-
at5d in attempts to suppress the sllve trade.
The Importance Of this measure viii be
appreciated when i: IS remembered that the
Empire Of Brazil covers nearly one-half Of
the eatire continen: Of South American
area Of over three million square miles and
has coas. line Of upwards Of 800 miles.
Il has population estimated e; COOS 900; ;
third of which, perhaps, are slaves. The
lave system Of Brazil, however, is con-
s!derably mildcr than that winch prevail
cd IN the Southern States, the slave having
;hirty-fye days annually to himself, besides
Saturdays, and when be has accumulated
Fixed sum be can buy his own freedom.

There must be confidence. The black man
must trust and c0nfde in the white man.
sni the latter in return must deal fairly AM
Justly with the former. Our interests Grs
the same. The same destiny Is before Us.
The negro and the white man OF the South
were born and raised here. Here they VIII
live and die. There IS and there can Dc 20
6irersifg IF interests JetirseE the ttr0 rclss
Both should, therefore. work harm0niOus.Y
together for one common object and zeal
ously strive to inculcate friendly relations
This object can be accomplished. The blacks
have confidence in the prominent men OF our
state. The intelligent colOred men OF Au-
gusta have confidence in our leading ciuzea-.
They mistrust the ItineTant frebrants VIII
are seeking 70 SOW Gisc0rd and strife between
their former masters and themselves. They
earnestly desire our people TO c0nla; the
evil influences which are now at w0rk.
Ii is therefore the duty Of our best citizens
20 assure the colored people that they are
their friends that justice will be done them
upon all occasions, and that there Is but one
law t0= tie black man and the white man.
Let the good men Of the state see to It that
their enemies and our enemies do not sue
coed in their wicked schemes. Teach them

are assumed in exercising the right Of fran

STARVATION CT UNIoN PRISONER Wasb-
ington desTatcfes state that the JUDICIARY
Committee OF the House have copies Of n
letter written by a Louisiana soldier from
AnGeIs0nyille, Ga, 10 JEFF. Davis. which
states that the writer was on duty as guard
over the prison there and that although be
hated the Yankees thoroughly. &c, &c, he
was Disguised with the discipline and cruelty
enforced. lie stated that numbers of rris-
oucrs were killed, that starvation was seem
ingly intended, and that his heart revolted
against the terrible barbaritics practiced.
lie stated that he wrote for the purpose Of
informing Davis Of the true state Of a6airs.
and believing him to be Christian gentle
man, bad no doubt but that he would order
changes to be made which would result In
CIVILIZED treatment Of prisoners throughout
the whole South. Other letters OF a similar
nature will also be presented to the Com
mittee, including one from a rebel surgeon.
evidently in reply TO one from the authori-
tics N Richmond, which contains a scntenee
stating tina; the writer did not know before
that there were any ipl,natic reasons for
the treatment OF prisoners 10 the manner
ordered by Gen. Ninder. All these letters
bear endorsements from Davis. referring
them to Winder aud other rebel oficers,
clearly proving that Davis knew and ap-
proved Of the policy Of starvation practioed
BY Windsr and others Of his subordinates.
