Letter from Brazil. Near Santa Barbara,! September 1-5, 1871. J Editor Press unci Banner: Your paper of June 23rd was-sent me by an unknown friend, with the initials, A. J. D. with a communication marked, undei the heading, "Americans in Brazil.* T Ua MMtjhAfl In lrrmw tlio trilfll 1 A j/lWUiJIV av *? laitvu cv/ auwi> vuv v. ?... | of the assertion. I f so, 1 take the responsi-1 bility to state, that it is positively untrue, J in its general application, to the Ameri-j cans (Southern,) in Brazil. There' may: be a few isolated cases, where parties1 have suffered, but only where they were,1 misled in their locations and spent their, little means in trying to make t^mselves independent. For Instance, it!; "was a mistake, when we were induced;, to settle on the RioDoce, in the Province*; of Espirito Santo, and it was no less a I mistake, when the colonies settled in the coast country of San Paulo, under the | auspices of the late Major McMullen, and thft Rflv'd. Ballard S. Dunn. After those sections of the country! were thoroughly tested, parties were in- . duced to seek another and better sec-| tion, where labor was more remunera-| tive, and where the liealth anil produc- j1 tions of the country were more conge-' iiial to their comfort and happiness. | This country is now the receptacle of f all the Americans, who did not become disgusted or ?ighcd again for the once'i prosperous South, and in every instance: they have done well, far better than j fhoso who returned to their once loved i home. It is not my province to speak j1 against the United States, but I do say I ] tbat out of the many who went back to,' escape the Horrors of poverty, but very 1 few, (where they have expressed them-| Reives) wish themselves back again in the j < Land cf the Southern cross. ' The Southern people are hard to please, f They are restless and unsettled. Those J who emigrated from the South generally 1 liave been well ofF and in some instances rich, yet they do not seem to think tliev have to wait, the slow process of: I -V A time, to be again partially reinstated in :1 their former position, but think they < must control the Government and pick|< tip diamonds from every pebbled brook j they eross, and in failing, they damn j1 the country and not having means > enough to take them back, resort to.< drinking aud spend their last "vintem" j < in drowning trouble and losing their ? nclf-respect, die in the gutter of some ob- < ficure street in the city of liio ; and thus j i ends a character too proud to work, un- j' worthy of friends and of the family that; 1 the good CJod has given them to love and j < provide for. |1 The province of San Paulo, away from ' tho coast-range is entirely an upland country, generally gently undulating with numerous springs and rivulets, creeks an<l rivers and as healthy as "Buncombe" North Carolina; italso com- i prises all of the productions of thecotton j Wlates in quality and quantity and much i 111 addition. I have been in this section j of the country two%cars, came herein! ?l?bt, being one of the unfortunates that were carried to the Doce, and have no reason t? regret my move. I made the j first year IS bales of cotton weighing! JWO pounds, with corn, potatoes and veg- j j uttthles iu abundance and hist year 1G j t balos; the catterplllar having destroyed!' my cotton, made a little over half of aU <*rop. The above was made with two: hands besides myself, and I am ">2 years; old. This is tlie country to move to. You arc not troubled with voting and the everlasting shuffling of politicians and univtrsal nigger equality. Itistruo there is no distinction of color in Brazil, where the parties arc born free. Education, intellect and wealth entitle any one Mack or white to the social status of society, but it is left with the parties themhdves, to receive them or reject them, as * A hey wish. Taxes are not burthensome. You pay, ? *ix (f>) per cent, on all lands when first j i purchased and fifteen (l">j dollars oil.1 .every negro bought, and a provisional * tux hi shipping produce out of the:0 Province. Internal improvements are 1 beginning to command the attention of 0 1 lie wealth of this country. Soon their;0 "will be a Railway within 2> miles of us,1 (i and in a year or so within 10 miles. All!11 the cotton, coffee, rice tobacco, corn.!1 beans, and sugar, arc taken to the terml-, J jius of the Railroad from Santos our sea 1 3>ort,on the backs of mules. Two bales of :s <-otton are taken on one mule, each weigh- ? ing 112 pounds?that is the average weight of what is required of one mule, nt the cost of 2-3 to 50 cts for every 32 '< pounds, which is called an "aroba." |* I ?Jould write you much more, but I * only wished to correct the mistake tn[< your issue of the 23rd of June. I never , * have written for publication, but you i1 innv extract a portion of this letter to ,i show that the Americans arc doing well,! ] notwithstanding tho disasters of last i1 year, and the false step they made when ] they first arrived in the country. "With znuch respect I am very truly your obedient servant, { IRVING L.

The array of beauty and attractiveness 011 this occasion was one of which the "mountain city" might well be [>roud, and the gentlemen of the Club liave reason to congratulate themselves for the success of the party. The people of Greenville arc much ?lated with the prospective greatness ol ;hc city, and look forward with pride o the completion of the Air Line Railroad. New stores are going up in .-arious portions of the city; the Court House is being overhauled, and much improved; new. streets are being opened; the new bridge across the liver, which tdils so much to the city, has been jorapleted ; the handsome aud coraraolious new brick church which the Methodists are building is in an ad; ranced state of completion; various lew private residences are in process of ^instruction, while many of the old Iwellings are being remodeled and nade to look like new; the printing offices are prosperous, and a daily paper is already talked of. The flourishing nstitutions of learning, both male and female, also add to the attractiveness ol :ho place, wlnle the hospitality and kindness of the good people of Greenville very much impress a visitor. *<o>?

FANNY BRANCH, 'wife of Dr. Isaac Branch, died at Abbeville C.* s H., 011 the liiorning of the 28th of No, vember 1871, in the 66th year of her age. For a full half century Mrs. Branch f had witnessed a good confession before ! - the world of the truth and power of the i religion of Christ. In health she de* lighted in services of the sanctuary. In her last sickness, protracted for twelve ' t months, she always exhibited such sea- ' i* sons of social worship and Christian intercourse as were vouchsafed unto her. | . Throughout her long and painful ill. ness there was no exhibition of an in- j t subordinate spirit, although to some exr ' tent convinced from the first, that her disease would terminate fatally, yet she < r socmen 10 lnuuige no misgiving u? \*>| > her spiritual safety. Having committed: | the salvation of her soul into the hands;' of Jesus Christ, she rested calmly in the! I - assured conviction, that ho was fully " able to redeem all his promises,, to save . ! unto the uttermost all that come unto tiorf through him; thus she found joy 1 and peace and salvation ix bixievixo. 1 Towards the close of hen earthly pil- , grimage she lost the memory of even her dearest friends, she knew them not . even when their names were mentioned to her, but there was one name which still arrested her attention, one friend whom she still remembered?it was tho j . name of Jesus, the friend that sticketh ; closer than a brother. [ This is the third time within the last ? sixteen months that death has claimed 1 V from this family a victim : a son-in-law j ^ in the vigor of manhood, a daughter in J ) j the bloom of early womanhood, aud now j i, the mother in her maturity of Christian 1 experience* ' i [ "Oh, death, where is thy sting? 0,| I grave where is thy victory?

Experience in the use of this Guano for the past six years in tins State, for Cotton and Corn, has so far established its character for excellence as to render comment unnecessary. In accordance with the established _ policy of the Company to furnish the uest Concentrated Fertilizer at the lowest cost to consumers, this Guano is put into market this season at the above reduced price, which uiu vompimj ia enabled to do by reason of its large fa- | cililies and the reduced cost of niauu- > facture. The supplies put into market this season are, as heretofore, prepared under the personal superintendence of I)r. St. Julian llavenel, Chemist of the Company, at Charleston, 43. C., hence, plauters 'may rest assured that its QUALITY and COMPOSITION is precisely tlie same as that heretofore sold. At the present I low price every acre planted can be fer- I tilized with two hundred pound Guano at a cost not exceeding the present value of 80 pounds of cotton, while experience has shown that under favorable condi- " tions of season and cultivation the crop is increased by the application from o two to threefold the natural capacity of . the soil. Hence, under no conditions 1 could its application fail to compensate for the outlay. Apply to ? J. N.
