The chief feature of interest, how
ever, connected with the arrival of the
vessel Is the presence on board OF
number of those unfortunate emi-
grants who, at the close of the war.
were induced to leave their homes,
with a view of bettering their shat
tered fortunes. There are on board
of the vessel thirty-four persons, men.
women and children, who left the
South at the close OF the war. and
whom Commander Barrett found at
Pernambuco and Para in ii destitute
and starving condition. They were
taken on board and furnished with
transportation to the nearest United
States port by order of the.
President of the United States. Their
torlOrn condition should be ter
rible warning to those who are
looking to emigration. They will be
disembarked to-day, and will be fur
nished with transportation TO their
homes. DR.. Le5by, the Health Off
Ger OF the port, Rev. W. B. Yates,
and the officers of the vessel, have
been unceasing in their efforts to
provide for their comfort. The Off
GERS and the crew of the vessel have
subscribed 5000 for the purpose OF re-
lieving their wants, and as these un-
fortunate people belong to our own
Sunny South, they have a peculiar
claim on our charity. 1t is hoped
that the people of Charleston, with
that noble charity for which they
have always been noted, will come
forward and subscribe aid for the suf-
tererS. Subscriptions left at this Office
will be devoted to the purpose.
We are informed by the Captain
that he left thirty-seven persons and
three families at PernambucO and four
or live families at Para, who are also
in a starving and destitute condition,
but who were detained by the Brazil
ian Government refusing to grant
them the necessary passports. This
fact will be promptly reported at
Washington, and the steps necessary
to free these persons taken at once.
We learn that the health of the crew
and passengers OF tho QuinnebaUg is
remarkably good.

passengers on board:
