Our columns are open, t/tenfore, tor any communications properly written r'Occoin panied by a -responsible namefnot.t personal in their elutra'cter, nor absolutely injurious in their tendency. Our Finances. / "Do you know airy one who has a fow hun dred to lend? "No; but wo know of a few. ^hundred'who would like to borrow," is the re ply. Thcro is a striking commentary iu this upon the times. .Without doubt, the country is hard up ; and were it not for assistance from .--??.?.?-?-.' abroad, the starvation and misery which has visited some of our unfortunate neighbors in spite of all efforts, would be almost universal. . But it will never avail us to give way to de spair. Let us look., tho crisis full jn tho face, and resolutely qndeavorto meet it as best we may.. And first, let tis consider briefly the causes of this general depression in our midst, and sco if we. can gather from theso sources any. reasons for encouraging hopes of the future / First, the 'failure of crops Inst year left the /whole country so poorly supplied for the pre sent season, that a clog Was laid upon all agri cultural enterprises, which arc the basis of our material prosperity. This State is dependent for support upon hor groat staples,.and in case of ^a failure in .the crops, wo have no manu factured fabrics to sond abroad to exchange for the products of other sections; hence without gratuitous aissistan.ee from the benevolence of I strangers, our people at such a tame must suf fer many and great privations. Being under this stato of affair's now, tho question arises, is there any hope of bcttoring our condition in this respect? "Wc arc? happy to be able to point to the crops of the present season, and tihd .in them a sign of encouragement. Na ture seems to have smiled upon tho labors' of | the industrious planter, and holds out to him tho prospect of an ample harvest. In visiting different parts of our District of late, and in hearing reports from othor sections, we arc jus tified in concluding that tho crop of tho pre sent year, when brought to market, will tend "greatly to the amelioration of our condition. \/ Secondly, t^ic disagreements hot Ween debtor laud oreditor, the existence of a Stay Law, and The accumulation of . litigation consequent thereon,?all these tended to add to to tho dis tress incideut'upbn the failureof the Southern cause. But hero again, there is liopc in- tho future, since the Court Dockets will^oon bo oloarod of this ?fTC<*B ^f,HUM?> and^tnos cour^o. of justice Wi?^j^ed-lh\|-U usual' channel. Had it not beoKfo?n is the saiuc the j year round, but as I proceeded ?South It gradu ally grew milder, and in no portion of the em ' pirc that I visited did I find it sufficiently cold :to stop vegetation ; thoughJL was told while inj province of San Paulo, that they sometimes have a very light frost in that- section during their cool season, but as I mentioned above, not sufficient to kill vegetables. It is true that tho lands generally, in that ..country are very productive and can be bought at low rates, but I must say that many of the accounts that I read, (concerning the fertility of the soil of that country), previous to my visit there, were exaggerated. I think that if their good lands*were cultivated according to our system, they would produce about thirty-five (35) or forty (40) bushels of corn to the aero and from twelve hundred to thirteen hundred pounds of seed cotton ; again, , the corn might not make anything, if planted according to our system, for I was told that tho object of the Brazilian in planting his corn thick*is to shade the land, and protoct it from the heat of the suu during long dry seasons, which they frequently havo during the year. I noticed that all of the Americans that are planting in that country (notwithstanding tho most oi' them are from the Southern States) follow 'he Brazilian's example. As yot the growth of cotton in that country has not proved to be a success, aud is looked upon by some men there as being a doubtful crop. Tho coffee "fazcnduS" or plan tat ions arc very fine and beautiful, but they can not be bought for less than from seventy five to one hundred dollars per acre, and beforo proceeding I will state that coffee can bo grown successfully, only in certain sections of tho Empire, owing very much to the climate as well as tho position that the ground must occu py in regard to the sun, as the lands of the country are generally rolling. Sugar caue grows well, but the joints arc generally very j short. Tobacco also grows, finely in certain sections ;T was told by Brazilians that the latfds in tho vicinity of Bahiu arc best adapted to the growth of this plant.' ?? Tho mass of the population occupy the mari time districts, the interior being principally covered with very thick forests; and it is there that the Brazilian government wishes emigrant" to settle in order to clear these ,Jv? ? 1 X" "*"~' forests and open reads, &c. Tho inhabitants of Brazil are whites, iudians, .negroes and mix ed races. Tho whites.1 are! chiefly Portuguese and their defendants'J- of "those mosi of the wealthy are well educated and generally very hospitable, but education is limited,, ob schools aro very rare oxcept in tho largo towns; there fore, the people gonerally, arc ignorant and ' also 'Very indolent; tho indolence I think is caused by the constant heat, which I was told?, hnj} atgrcat tendoucy to keep tho whole human system debilitated. Nearly all of tho labor of that country is performed by negro slaves, who thrm about three?fifths of tho population. I thiuk that slavery there, will in the courao of t*inc be abolished by^ gradual cmanipation, though I do. not think that it will be done very soon. I left Brazil about eight weeks ago, and "young negro fellows .were then worth from five to seven ? hundred dollars; the. pewplc of tho United States appear to be more deeply in terested concerning the abolition of slavery in Brazil, than the ? Brazilians themselves; it my predictions be true in regard to the aboli tion of slavery there, I am confident that, that country? will be, in a much worse'Condition than oUrs, as'there is even now less prejudice in Brazil between the different races than there is in the Souther)) States. , K The religion of Brazil is Catholic, although there arc. two American churches in Bio-dc Janioro, one of which is an Episcopal and the other a Presbyterian. Brazil is divided- into provinces and each ..province has a-president appointed over it. J The laws of the country arc very good, but they arc not properly in forced, as the judges as well as the juries aro open for bribery and corruption. There arc but three railroads in the empire. Roads for traveling by private conveyance arc also very rare, and cv.en thc-s^ that they have arc suitable for pack mules .onlv *???? it. is on t.ltAsn nack-mulcs that all of. their exports and imports arc transported I through the interior of tho country. Agricul ture is in a very backward state and not. more than one forty-ninth part of the country is supposed to be cultivated, and manufactures scarcely exist. The people of the. interior live upon beef, mutton, vegetables, farina and fruits. The vegetables are inferior, - the cause .of which is the want of proper' attention and 'cultivation. The farina is used as a substitute for bread, and is mace of the roots of tho mnndiocn-; 'the mnndioea rcsciiiblcs very much our Palma Christi plant; and tho jnloo of its roots pressed out, ns it is said to bo vory poisonous ; after which, thoKO roots aro kiln-dried, and ground into a meal which has the appearance of the meal made of Indian-corn ; this meal is oaten on the meats and vegetables, without be ing carried through any other procotw. Persons removing to tho interior of that empire t an never afford to cat wheat bread or ham again, from the fact that flour cannot be bought for hws than from twenty to twenty two dollars (in gold) per barrel, and hams for not less than from forfy-fivo to fifty coots per pound; then tho expenses for transporting these articles through the country on pack mules arc very great. The mules of that country aro not large, but they are very fine, and can be bought for from thirty-five to fifty dollars per head. I saw but four horses hi the cmpjrc and they were inferior. I was told that horses would net do well in that climate, aud that was tho roason why so few persons had them. . There are Other things connected with the history of lirazil too numerous for me to men tion at present, but I will give you a full ac count of that country on sonic subsequent oc casion. M. D.-B.
