We have recently met an intelligent business man -from the South, the president of one of the prinoipal rail? roads there. Ho represents tho feel? ing of insecurity in that section, growing out of the threats of con? fiscation aud disfranchisement, and other manifestations of hostility, by" the majority iu Congress, or the firominent leaders among them, as laving a most injurious effect on thc enterprise and industry of tho country. Ho says that tho violent language indulged in by tho leading Republicans, together with thc gene? ral tenor of hostility towards the South exhibited by the radicals, has caused a general apprehension that if this party succeed in carrying the Northern elections, a, new scene of persecution will open cu the South; that even upon the subject of pardons the impression is fl.at they will have no effect if the President is defeated -the result of all of which is an un? willingness among a large portion of the business men of the country to engage in important enterprises, as they think it best to rest on their ! oars and to watch the course of j events, especially as any signal suc I cess in acquiring fortune might only subject them tc? more danger of per I sedition. The high character and intelligence of our informant satisfies us of the truth of this statement, especially when it is so consonant to human nature. During the middle ages the Jews lived in this constant sense of insecurity, aud were at great pains to conceal their wealth. Those who are familiar with Ivanhoe remember what a strong picture of this persecution and alarm is presented in the charac? ter of thc rich Jew, father of Rebec? ca, one of those historical portraits wliich the genius of thc great magi? cian has rescued from thc dim shadows of the past aud stamped with the impress of immortality. Thc sanie thing exists now, so travelers tell ns, with the posterity of God's chosen people iu the Eastern lands, where the unbridled tyranny ol power leaves them no security foi wealth but tho appearance of poverty. Hence, in Palestine at this very day, in the delightful seats where their race onee held rogal sway, they are obliged to conceal their wealth, if they hav( it, with the appearances of poverty, to shield themselves from the rapacity of their unscrupulous masters. And yet this is, iu a certain sense the sad condition of the people of tin South. And have not thc Soutl cause, ample cause, for this feeling of insecurity? Do not the part} leaders in possession of the legisla tive department of thc Governincn constantly denounce the President') noble and profound policy of mag nanimous statesmanship? Have no some of tho chiefs of that parti openly threatened confiscation of tin South? Did not Gen. Butler, in ? memorable address to tho Soldiers National Association, point out hov their services might be requited lr starting with confiscation at Ar lington, and going South? Are no the organs of this party constant! circulating a religion of hatred againa the South? Does not tho Congres refuse in any degree to modify th test oath requited of lawyers practic ing iu tho courts of the UniLci States, so that one class of tho pee pie of the South are debarred fror pursuing their legitimate calling? TJrder all these incentives to alaru: it would be strange indeed if the pee pie o? the South were not possesse with this feeling of insecurity t which we have been alluding. . Now, what a spectacle does this nc present in tho middle of the. nin< teenth century, after tho sublim truth "of peace on earth, good wi toward men," has been so long ii culcated from the sacred altars of ot religion! Can anything be imagined moi unfortunate than the existence < this feeling of insecurity? It is the interest of the North tin the South should prosper materiall; because, tho South furnishes thu mo profitable vent for the productions . the North. Looking at thc immense magi: tude of our uational debt, destine before it is closed up, to attain tl gigantic proportions of four tho sand millions of dollars, it is a matt of tho first imp?rtame that tl industry, enterprise and product! energies of the South should recei their very highest development, th they may come in aid of the ta paying resources of the North, nc stretched to their utmost tension. Again, the largo amount ol' o debt held in Europe, and the neci sity of having the interest there gold, or its equivalent, reuders it matter of pecuniary importance, tl. the largest production possible cotton should be had, in order furnish a substitute for gold. Unh this is done, how are we to meet t demand on us for gold? It the c< ton crop proves deficient, ant. t frantic demand for gold continu what can we look for but an enham nient in tho price of gold, deoj affecting the national credit, postpc ing indefinitely the return to spe payments, and opening perhaps 1 foro us, gaping wide, the fearful a shameful gulf of national bm ruptcy ? But if there is no regard had to I people of the South, or the people tho North, or the danger of a gi famine, with a financial crisis n crash, surely thcro is one innoc class who should excite the sympal of the dominant party in Cmigr< We refer to the freedmen and women of ' the South. Their material pros? perity depends on the material pros? perity of the South. It is ten thou? sand times more important to them that the business matters at the South should move on in their successful course, than that tho Government should dole out to them millions in depressing charity from its Freed? men's Bureau. It is a matter of tho first impor? tance that the enfranchised raco should start forward at once, under the best auspices, in their new career of remunerated labor. If this experi? ment halts or fails at its inception, tho black race of the South will bo in discouragement, perhaps in de Sair, and the farther prosecution of e experiment in their behalf will present obstacles of a far more serious nature than those now exist lu every point of view, thou, iu which we can regard this subject, wo consider it criminal in Congress to keep up this state of alarm at tho South; aud in our judgment, the Congress, before it adjourns, should make such a declaration of its inten? tion, in reference to the people and property of the South, and tho par? dons which have been granted, as to relievo tho Southern mind of all further apprehension as to tho future course of tho Govemmei t, into whosesoever hands it may fall. [National Intelligencer, 1th. Ditrournslns; from Brazil. Bio DE JANEIRO, Juno 2.-I bog leave, as an American citizen, to in? sert a few lines in your columns with regard to. American emigration to this country-Brazil. Much has been said with regard to the great re? sources and beautiful scenery, which is all very true; but as for its fertility for agriculture and general farming purposes, more can be raised on ono acre of good land in : States than ten of the best here: *nd thc same proportion in regard to labor-one man can accomplish more in the States than ten hore. Duriug my stay here, (some eight months.) out of some twenty families that havo come out here, a quarter < >f them have died-thc general average -and most of those that worn left were sent home by charity (subscrip? tions of a few true Americans who are here. ) I feel it my duty, as an American citizen and a lover of the American people, to expose aud publish certain parties-heavy English, German, Brazilian and Jewish merchants who have formed a society or com? pany, with a largo ca2>ital, and who style themselves the ' Emigration Society/' to deceive ?ind induce Southern people to sacrifice their property iu the States t<> emigrate to 1 a country represented as a Paradise, which has proved worse than a hell (if there can bo such a thing) to most of those who have come here as emi? grants, being cut off from nil Kood j society and morality, and are obliged to associate with a mongrel race, In? dian, negro and Portuguese, speak ing a different language from their own.-Cor. New Orleans Picayune. ? THE KINGS OF HANOVER AND SAXONY, i The following are sketches of the I sovereigns whose territories have been i so suddenly ravaged by Prussia : George V, of Hanover, succeded j his father, in 1851 ; he is about forty five years of ago, and married toa] daughter of the Duke of Saxe-Alten- ! burg, by whom he has a son und two daughters. His father was tho Duke of Cumberland, a son of George ill of England. King John, of Saxony, G5, is a son of Prince Maximilian and the Prin- ' cess Theresa of Saxony. His consort \ is a Princess of Bavaria, by whom lie has had three sous and six daughters. One of tho latter, recently deceased, was Grand Duchess of Tuscany. He succeeded his brother, who died, leaving no children, in 1854. He is a Catholic, his ancestors having for? mally adopted that religion in order to bo eligible to the crown of Poland, The present Elector of Hesse-Cassel j is Eredorick William I, who descends j from Henry I, the common ancestor ; of tho throe families of Hesse. In 1831, ho married, morganatically, tho | divorced wifo of a Prussian officer, j His successor is Prince Frederick, one of his cousins. The present 1 Elector distinguished himself by Iiis j reactionary ardor, in 1849, during the ministry' of the rallier notorious Hassennpfug. The Washington correspondent of the New York Times says?.! General Grant: "With reference to the propose?! constitutional amendment, General Grunt has on several occasions, in private conversation, said that he could see no serious objection to tho amendment in itself, and ho. in fact, approves of its main features; but, nevertheless, it is tho opinion of the General that the Southern loyal rep? resentatives should have been tirst admitted to their seats, und an op? portunity should have been given them to vote upon tho joint resolu? tion to amend tho Constitution be? fore the samo was submitted to thc several State Legislatures. Cn brief, his views on the latter proposition are identical with those of the Presi? dent." - - - - A casket of diamonds und other valuable jewels, worth $80,000, was recently found uear Nashville, having evidently been lying for several years just under thesurface of tho pron nd. HON. J. P. REED.-Our onterpria- j iug and public-spirited fellow-citizen j returned to this place on Friday last, ? after an absenco of two weeks, on a I mission to Cincinnati and Lquisvillo : in behalf of tho Blue Ridgo Railroad, j The result of this visit of an ablo delegation to those cities is every way satisfactory, and Mr. Recd ex? presses the utmost confidence in the completion of this magnificent pro? ject. The capitalists of Cincinnati and Louisville are aroused to tho im? portance of tho proposed railroad connection with the South Atlantic coast, and they arc determined to in? vest their meaus and energies where ? they will be recompensed so largely. On Tuesday evening, by imitation of tho Town Council, Mr. Reed ad? dressed a large audience of ladies and gentlemen iu the Court House, giving in detail the result of his mission. Ho expressly declared the belief that the Blue Ridge Road would be built, and spoke in ( boering terms of the interest that had been recently awak? ened on thc subject in the Western cities. He then alluded to the pros? pects of the air-line connection with Atlanta, Ga., from this place, and gave a gratify ing account of the mea? sures being inaugurated to insure its success. Then the audience was re? galed with vivid, descriptions of scene? ry, cities and people, in a sort of lecture on tho customs, fashions and I appearance of things generally in the j North and North west. Altogether, the speech of Mr. Reed was mullum in parco, and bis auditory was doubt? less satisfied thal he left no measure untried to advance tho interests of this section, and neither neglected thc opportunity of closely scrutiniz? ing everything within thc sphere of his observation.

PIUSE IN THE SOTTH.-It is a forttt j nate thing for the Routh that they : have secured the services of those I eminent Southern Generals .fohn I ston and Beauregard -to undertake ' tho management of their principa railroads. From every one of th? chief railroads of tho South, I beai tho most encouraging reports, bul chiefly from those that ure under thc supervision of these distinguished generals. And I learn now that an enterprise is (,u foot, which is suv? of success, and which will develop t? an unprecedented cxtcnl tho ve sources of Virginia. This is nothiuj less than the construction of a lino o railroad to connect Norfolk, at th? i mouth of .lames River, with Ciucin I nati, Louisville and St. Louis, Tin I company engaged in this great worl j will avail themselves of several vail roads already constructed, so that th extent of new road to 1>?' built wil I not be near so long as might be sup ' posed. When the new line is in ope ration, which it is thought will be ii two or three years, tho distance fror Cincinnati to Norfolk will bc 19 i miles lo-=s than from Cincinnati t Baltimore.

Sold onlv by the Professor of Optics and Spoctacle Manufacturer. The advantages of these Spectacles over? all others are: , 1st. The onlj- true lens known being per? fectly free from chromatic light, so well known to bo the cause of injury to the vi? sion, and which makes the change from spectacles to glasses of stronger power so often required, while both near and distant objects areHe.cn with equal facility through out the sanio glasses. 2d.

Sd. When thu eyes ache or pain through the action of a bright light, such as is re? flected from snow, sunny weather, white paper and in reading, writing or sewing, or vivid colors, these lenses, by softoning thc rays, effect a most agreeable sensation an?l gives great relief. 4: ii.

Tho Professor selected for me a pair of his Australian Crystal Glasses, which aro of a very superior quality and workmanship rendering vision very distinct, almost as perfect as iu youth. I yield this testimony m favor of the Professor's glasses most cheerfully. 1). H. TREZEVANT, M. D. t'oi.i-MBTA, S.

They are constructed upon the best established and understood prin? ciples of optics, and their adaptation to th?, hutu au eye in ita different conditions ol vision, is so perfect as to render sight easy without elfort. In my opinion, norn others should bc used, since tho cyeB onct used to these do not seem to grow old, ?nc by having a focus at any point, of the sui face, they appear to restore the evos ti their youthful energy.
