ociqa to the Centennial.

The New Orleans Republican
says: A party of gentlemen oil
this city, who intend to visit Phila.
delphia next July. have struck al
excellent idea. They will charter
or purchase a good sea-going
schooner, fit her hold up as a ga
Icon, with folding hunks, hire a
cook and sailors, and put in solid
stores for a two months excursion.
AS the matter of time will be of lit
tie consequence to them at that
date, they will find it pleasant to
take sea voyage. On arriving at
Philadelphia, the excursionists can
eat and lodge on their vessel, living
tOlerable Independent life, and at
cheap rates. When weary of the
centennial, they will sail for any
port that suits, taking in Newport
and New York. During the trip
the gentlemen will wear such cloth
ing rs p'eases them, bat, of course,
when in poIt they will don stylish
attire. On landing at a city, those
of the party who desire may leave
the vessel and take hotel quarters.
This plan. Will not be as expensive
as others, and will have the novel
ty of independence combined with
comfort and case. A party, say of
twenty, may adopt this fashion, a nd
pass the summer season pleasantly
and profitably."

A VERY ANCIENT WALL II MISSISSIPPI

A bout eighteen miles from Port
Gibson, and one mile from Brandy
wine Springs on the place Of Mr..
0. Gain, the existenc. of great
number of blocks of cur stone has
been known tor an indefinite time,
and The people III the Gei.liborhOOd
have them b.s props for their hous-
es. Mr. JAS. Gage, Jr went out
tber" IL few days ag" to explare, and
had a si"eiinen stone broaght in:O
town. 1t is about three feet long
by about twenty inches square,
resembling in shape a bar of soap.
1t is probably a native sandstone.
Mr.. Gage took this black himself
from beneath the roots Of a large
pine tree. 1t formed a portion of a
wall about twenty feet broad Oh top
which Mr.. Gage traced for a dis
lance of ESQ yards. The inference
that one would naturally draw
from the superficial view ia that
this must have been a city wall, but
deep exploration might show it to
be a portion of a fort, temple other
building. Anyway, its ant:qiiary
is probly immense, antedating the

people needed there. True, there is
room enough for tens Of millions of

HUMANE TREATMENT OF THE GOVERN
EEST TO THE ssLF-EXILED SOUTHERN
ERE Ii B2EZILr

The Uslited States authorities are
aciing very commercially towards
The Southern families who in a fit
of desperation and disappointment
rmigrated to B. azil at the close oi
Ike war. Most OF them sally real
.zed their mistake after reaching
their Imaginary hi Dorado and re-
penird at leisure what they had
done i'll haste. AS fast as they
couid obtain Jnrans, they returned
to their old BONES, satisfied that
there WAS no other country on earth
like it. But numbers of others have
been unable to provide themselves
nth transportation, aud the GOV
eminent has come to their aid. By
orders Of the-Navy Department., the
corvette, Swatara, was recently OIL
dered to Para aud other ports in
Brazil, to gather up the remnants
of these colonists and bring them
back, at their own request to the
United States. Tue Swatara will
proceed direct to Para. where about
one hundred and thirty men, women
and children are awaiting her ar
rival. Others are at Venzuela, look
ing for succOr. Tue captain has
orders to proceed TO other ports,
and take on board all American cit
liens who wish to return home, and
are without means to do 80. The
vessel will then proceed to Port
Royal, South Carolina, where her
will be- landed. This
humane act of the Government nti-
ties it to the lasting gratitude Of
the self-cxiles, who have repented
in sack cloth aud ashes that they
did not remain TO share the fortunes
of their country men at the close Of
the war.
