'I i ur UKEENSBORO, AND OF THE STATE. nat Minister J arris Thinks - Ought to bt Done. Ex-Governor Jarvi, with his wife, returning to Brazil, were in Norfolk the other day. and the Governor was interviewed by a Virginian reporter. - In response to a question of inquiry by the reporter, as to our local trade, the Governor said; "The Brazilian people would gladly trade . with the u nited States to a greater extent than at present, if facilities were established by which steamers Irom the United States would, run between the two countries as often as the steamers of England and France. For instance, there is a steamer leaving Rio every three or four days for England, while there is but one steamer a month that leaves for the United States" While not believing in large toroi of money being appropriated for subiidies, yet the Governor thinks th: t if ,our Gov ernment would pay say, the net sura or 575.ooo, to a steamboat company which would run a line of steamers weekly to touch at Para City of Mar ombau, City of Pernambuco. Bahia. K10 Janeiro. Santos. Montevideo and Beunos Ayers. in time the United States would have as great a trade with Brazil and the other South American countries as England and France. Brazil already pays a subsidy of $100,003 a year to a steamboat com pany for running a steamer from the United States to Brazilian ports once a month. The Argentine Republic is willing to Rjve $IOo.ooo per annum to a company that will run a steamer to ber ports once a week. Now, if the United States will fall in line and give $250,000 for a steamer to run once a week, $450,000 would be the total amount of all the subsidies ol the three Countries. A company undertaking to run a steamer once a week between ports in the United States and these countries would thus receive $450,000 in subsidies and the freight receipts. There is a company which runs steamers from Brazil now, which brings the .Brazilian Coffees to our ports, then loads with our cotton and tobacco and sails for England. Ar riving at England this cargo is dis charged, and a car load ot English rnanutaciured goods are taken on and I carried to Brazil. Thus articles manu a:AW m 1 M . factured in England from raw materials obtained from American markets, have a greater sale in South American coun- 1 tries than our manufactured cood made of our Own materials. Then there are a large number of manufac tured articles shipped from this coun try to England, there repacked and restamped and shipped to Brazil. In fact English goods in Brazil have such a uoid mai 11 would reauire some Jength ol Ume for the merchants of this country to cater to the Brazilian trade in a manner that would be satis factory to them. We now have but a steamera month. and if an order from a Brazilian mer chant was late on reaching the steam er tne order could not be shiDDed un til the next boat left, one month hence. Governor Jarvis informs us that Vir ginia tobacco shipped to England in l . r j . t uuiiv iiicic mdnuucmrcu ana snip ped to Brazil in fancv naekaoe. and has a large sale. He also savs that the united Mates ought surely be able to manuiacture us own materials and sell them as cheap as the Englishmen can, ior the Lnglishmen buys from the United States, then manufactures and snips 10 urazu, inus causing the ar ticle to cross the ocean twice.

The General lost an arm at the battle of Carter's farm in 1862. He says that when be was struck by the bullet he fell among some rocks. Whi'e lvinrr on nis uacK in a periecuy neipless and weaK conouion a nuge rattlesnake crawled on his breast and when hall way across stopped. Then his snake- ship stretched bis head on a flat stone and curled his rattles on the other side of the General. Several wounded men on their, way to the rear came along and he did not know what to do to altiact their attention. If he shouted it would arouse the reptile to pernicious activity. There he was. wounded by a Northern bullet and held a prisoner by a snake, lie finally mustered sumcicnt strength to raise his unwounded arm and one of the soldiers saw the signal. He approach ed, and dn getting near the prostrate officer saw the horrible situation of affairs. at a glance. He walked a short distance hack, picked up a sword from the side of a dead lieutenant, and creeping up slowly behind cut the rattle in two. "I suppose," said Gen.
