Welcome rain or tempest From you airy powers, Wo hav j. languished for them Mnnv RUltry boure, And ?art? is sick and Wan, and pines .with" all heV flowers. "* ? What have they been doing In thoturning June, Hiding with the genii. Visiting the moon",' Or sleeping on the ico amid an arctic noon? Liing they with them jewels From the sunset lands? What aro these they scatter With such hivasli"hands? There are no brighter gems in Raolconda's sands. rattering on the gravel, Dropping from tho eaves, Glancing in tho graBS and Tinkling on the leaves, They Hash the liquid pearls, as flung from fairy sieves. Meanwhile, unreluctant, FJirth like Danae lies; Liston, is it fancy That beneath us sighs, As that warm lap receives the largesse of tho skies? Jove, it is, doBcendcth In those crystal rills; And this world-wido tremor Is a pulse that thrills. To a god'? lifo infused through veins of velvet hills. Wait, thou jealous Bunshine, Break not on their bliss, Earth will blush in roses Many a day for this. And bend a brighter brow beneath thy burning kiBS. Seeking New Homes, i The Caddo Gazelle, in publishing a letter to the New Orleans Crescent, which represents British Honduras as a paradise- on earth, bas the fol? lowing very sensible remarks: We would not presume to advise our readers on a question which in? volves their future success and hap? piness. Those who have sufficient means co live comfortably, can re? main in this country, and "bear tho ills wo have, rather than flee to those we know not of." Thero are thou? sands in our midst who are broken down in fortune aud character, who are too proud and sensitive to labor. These desperate men might redeem themselves by going to a strange land, where their antecedents wero not known, aud by systematic labor and economy, make an honest living. At any rate, they have nothing to lose, and the experiment could do no harm. There is room in the South for teu times the number of active laboring men that we now have, and we shall part with reluctance from those who prefer leaving good plan? tations aud choosing au uncertainty for a certainty. Every man who will exercise pro? per industry and economy can make a support iu Louisiana and Texas. While the opportunities for making money are becoming more doubtful every year, and tho field for specula? tion is being contracted into narrow? er limits, still we fiud men who are improving their condition under ad? verse circumstances. When our peo? ple realize the fact that labor is the law of our being, and that it requires assiduous attention to business to meet current expenses, they will go to work with a will. Fortunes aro not made in a day. The time for speculation and extortion has past. We are a very poor people; the re? medy is constant labor-not emigra? tion. The Mobile Register publishes, for the benefit of those seeking nev* homes, the following account of o hitherto almost unknown section ol country, in tho South of Florida: We had the pleasure of meeting, yesterday, Mr. J. C. Campbell, for merty of this city, now of Manatee County, in the Southern part of Flo rida, and of having a long talk wit! him about that splendid country We know of no better remedy foi the Honduras or Brazil fever thai Mr. Campbell's glowing descriptioi of the Flowery Land, in which IK has made his home for tho lost tw \vi months or so. We should like t< give that description here, for th benefit of such of the people of Soutl Alabama as are sick-a-bed with th Brazil fever, but just now we hav neither tho time nor the space to di tho subject justice. Mr. Campbell bas established him self on the Manatee Biver, opposit the village of tho same name, wher he has, at his very door, the finest o fish, oysters and crabs, while th forests around him abound in almoi all kinds of wild game, such as deei bears, tr.rkey.s, ive. Ht; assures ti that the country is rapidly filling ur about 1,000 famili?s, principally from Alabama and Georgia, 'having settled in the Counties of Manatee and Hills? boro within the last twelve xnontha The hummock lands in that part of the State produce corn, cotton, rice, tobacco, potatoes and sugar-cane; and all garden vegetables are grown in the greatest abundance. There is plenty of excellent timber, auch ns cedar, pine, cypress, juniper, white oak, live oak, mulberry, ?.tc., wbilo nearly or quite all tho tropical fruits, piue-apples, oranges, lemons, limes, bananas, &c, grow in great per? fection, ,and some of them all tho year round. Mr. Campbell says he had tho finest of water-melons in February, lins rnised tho largest cab? bages ho ever saw, and has enteu but? ter beans from vines that lind been bearing for four years. The villngo of Manatee is nbont forty miles South . of Tampa, and is not more than 125 miles from tho island of Cuba, where the people find an excellent market for their fish, lumber, ?tc. There is at least ono advautngo in going to the peninsula of Florida in? stead of to Brazil-it costs you very little to get there, and then, if you aro not pleased with the country, you will find no difficulty in returning to your old home. There is n steamer, and also a schooner of about 150 tons burden, that makes regular trips be? tween that part of Florida and New Orleans. Passengers are carried in the schooner for $15. Mr. Campbell, Bays tho people of his new paradise have no politics of their own, and nro not inclined to purchase a supply from anybody else. They are entirely out of the world of radicalism, and reconstruc? tion is a thing they have no use for and they know nothing about. ? ? ? ?-! Ex-CONFEDEIIATES-WlIAT THEY ATX Dorse-The New Orleans corres- i pondent of tho Louisville Courier writes: Gen. Braxton Bragg, President of tho New Orleans Water Works, con? fines himself closely to business, hus nothing to do with politics, and bears the appearance of a mau of iron. Gen. Hood is merchandizing. Gen. Longstreet, of the firm of Longstreet, Owen & Co., remarked tho other day that ho was disgusted with politics. It seems that the Generals with whom he used to associate have given him the "cold shoulder," and now when seen on the street, he is gene? rally alone. Personally, he is thought as much of as over, and spoken of in extolling terms, but his political course is universally con? demned in the South. Jeff. Thomp? son has a store liere. I understand that Gen. Loring left a few days ago on a visit to some friends in the West. Gen. Beauregard, President of the Carrollton Railroad Company, is up to his eyes in business, and alwaj's appears to be in a burry. Gon. Dick Taylor is chief director of affairs per- I faining to tho new basin canal. Gon. Wheeler is a successful lawyer of the Now Orleans bar. Gen. Buckner has been connected with tho Crescent in an editorial capacity, is President of the St. Louis Mutual Life Insurance Company, and also a practicing law? yer. Thore are in the city about thirty Confederate brigadier-gene? rals, and a great number of colonels and subordinate officers of the lat" Confederate army. FRED. DOUGLAS' SPEECH.-The fol? lowing is given as the conclusion of Fred. Douglas' speech, in Norfolk, on the 4th of July: "Had the Southern Confederacy not been blinded by prejudice, she would have used the means which were in her power to employ of achieving a histing independence; that is, if the Confederate Govern? ment would have unshackled every slave, and as freemen, armed for the fight, marched them, shoulder to shoulder with the whites, to the field of battle. Had this been done," said he, "to-day, you would have been a free and independent people." ALAUAMA.-Tho Greenville Advo cate says that a good stor3'"is told in reference to registration in the West? ern portion of that county: "When tho registrars were in a cer? tain beat, tho freedmen wanted to k^iow the cause of their having to put down tbeir names; they were informed by a rather smart individual : that ii was for the parp?se of ascer? taining their numbers preparatory to . sending tbem to Brazil, to fight to free their brethren in bondage there. The idea took; that night, they ske? daddled to the swamps, and did not return until thc registrars had left. AND DESIRABLE JUST i rf . WE HAVE RECEIVED, amongst our NEW GOODS, the following: .
