Commerce wool, hides, dried
beef, horns, bones, tallow, masta,
tea. Wool is very we'll put up
in bales, Ike cotton In theIUnited
States. Ono man in the Argentine
Republic owns amillien OF cattle.
and many wool. growers from 100.
600 to 100000 sheep. Forty-
three thousand beef cattle were
driven to Montevideo sbv the large
cattle owner above mentioned, to
be butchered at one time. This
will give you some idea OF sadsOsd
al aoealtA in South America
These wealthy gentlemen, howev
er, have. sense enough to make
their residence, in, England q,
My limits will not allow me to
give yoa q fun detail Of many mat
tiers that come under my notice In
South America. It is a country
of unbounGed, natural resources,
which are being developed, TO some
extent. by English enterprise
Brazil Is rich country In the pre-
cious ores-diamonds q staple pro.
duct. A coffee field in Brazil, is
as handsomely laid-out and -eul.
tiyated as a flower garden. The
nobility are hard TO approach.--
The Emperor is par excellence +; his
presence can only be reached by
those who stand nearest the throne
still, l do not look on Brazil as
being half civilized, if,the English
were not among them.
The war with Lopez is still GO
ing on, He has fallen back from
his Capitol six hundred miles |. but
in a fight he whips the Brazilians
badly. AS a 1commander-in-chief,
he is much in character like Santa
Anna. ] saw some of his men
prisoners-at Montevideo; they
are mixed race-halt Spaniards,
half Indians, with portion of the
negro; a. specimen of what lthe
population of the United States
will be by-and.by under the equal
ity of races. A struggle for the
existence OF an Empire or a Re-
public, is an issue in which I feel
a deep interest--more particularly
when the contest is between civil
lied nations; because, upon the
result may depend the welfare of
the whole human race. Not SO
with barbarians at war, which al.
ways results in making room for a
better population. !. - ,l7E
l have no.news from the United
States whatever. When the pub
lie, debt is. paid, and the Federal
Consultation is recognized as the
paramount law Of the land, and
the Anglo Saxon race maintains
their appropriate status in society
and Government, I shall be glad
to hear from my native land-not
sooner.
