Home Again.

The u. g. frigate Swatara, which arrived
on Thursday at Port Royal, brought back
from Brazil the last Neutrality-suspicious.
seventy-fve In number-of the southern
refugees who fled TO that country about the
time OF the close of the rebellion, and who
undertook TO establish colony there. But
the experiment proved a failure. The colon
lists found the modes OF agriculture, and of
transacting business SO different from what
they were accustomed to, that they could
not get on at all. In the mean time the in
formation from home showed that the ap-
prehensions under which they fed. of harsh
reir butive course towards the South by the
government were mistaken. Their neigh
bOrs, who took tire risk of staying at
home, though a good deal reduced in
circumstances by the depletions OF the
war, and the wiping out of the whole csn-
federate currency on the collapse of the re
tellion, were still managing to make a
living, and were by degrees getting substan-
italy on their feet again. So in 1859 about
one hundred of the refugees took passage for
home on two United States men-of war
which had been sent for this purpose; and
SIS above stated, the remainder are now back
on their home soil.
On the whole this furnishes a pretty good
III ustIation OF the benefcence and tolerance
OF our republican institutions. Notwith-
standing the immense sacrifices of biooi and
treasure made in support of the integrity Of
the Union, not drop of blood was spilled in
the way OF punishment after the rebellion
was suppressed, and the rebel fugitives who
fed I'm such apprt hension are supplied by
our government with the means of return
Ing TO their old homes.

A WoaAN's OPINION ABOUT THE HARD
TIMEs-"-The Boston Globe has hal a re-
porter out lately interviewing prominent
representatives OF various industries az to
Inc business situation and prospects. Ga his
rounds he met a woman who has for years
successfully managed large estate, who in
sisted on having her say, and certainly SPOKE
as much 10 the point as any man of them all.
She was of the opinion that when people
paid their debts the times would be prosper
Gus enough, and expressed her wonder that
common sense people could see no loss in the
general habit of "haviDg ii charged" which
had grown up during the last few years. She
believed that individual effort only could
bring about return of prosperity, and said
That $50 long as the people of this country
Continue to eat roast beef when they have
only money enough 10 pay for salt mackerel,
Iney viii have and deserve to have hard
times"

Mr. Moody, who, with excellent intentions,
Eometimes makes unguarded assertions, has
got into trouble with the Israelites. In a
late discourse he stated that "a thousand
Jews met not long ago In Paris, when one of
the orators said: we have the honor of kill
Ing the Christians God ; and this was greatly
applauded.' The editor of the Jescish Messe,,-
ger takes the matter up, and asserts that no
such meeting was held at Paris, that such a
meeting OF one thousand Jews has not taken
place anywhere for years, and tha, "when
Jews do meet together they are not likely to
applaud the sentiment quoted"

exchange fractional currency for frsc-

paper. seeing that the Interchangeable
value the latter is three per cent.
less than that of the former. provided
the small currency can be changed into
ereenbacks. These are worth about SS
cents on the dollar in gold just now,

S5 cents on the dollar. Both are de-
preciated currency, thing which no
