hundred souls, the males prepondcrating. 1t is
located in the province of Sac Paulo or ST. Paul,
about four hundred miles southwest of Rio

Sui and Parana this is the most sOutherly
province of Brazil. Its members, who have
lived there now nearly nineteen years, are
nearly all engaged in farming and manufacturing
the cultivation of cotton, coffee corn tobacco,
etc. and the manufacture of wagons, ploughs and
other agricultural implements. 1t is a fine
farming region. we'll watered by many navigable
streams, and in the center of the great coffee
section. 1t abounds also in good iron ores, and
there are extensive iron works at st Paul, the
capital of the province, about thirty miles north
west of Santos its principal port of entry. Mr.
Burton informed me that he has, with several
of his old comrades in arms. built house in the
wilderness of Sac Pauo and hung sign from it
on which they have inscribed the words ''The
Rebels Rest" The members of the colony are
reputed to be highly moral, thrifty and prosper
