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.
