PA MIL Y INTERCOURSE.
This is a sore subject to touch. One feels
like treading on a hundred corns all at
once. Nearly every family has its sore
spot its dark corner its private closet,
carefully locked up and the interior hid
den from the light of day. It seems
strange to say that mostfamilv difficulties
. arise from lh inwrinr nf it,n.,i:fr..i

true. Many families live together for

which frequently mar the happiness of a

There is little appreciation of the divine

the Ti'y relation. It is so common a
fact that we lose !'t of "s wkdotu, just

haps, some bright eyes have become dim
med, and the weary, tired heart seeks its
rest among, strangers, that the magic of
housohold names, and the deep, tender
meaning of the household relationship is
really felt.
Of course, the fault of this lies with the
parents. Frecept ia of little use without
example. Sbnie parents think it beneath
their dignity fc prefix a request with "If
you please," or" Have the kindneis,"and
then wonder why their children cannot
be " mannerly " like other people. We
have known the sons of a poor widow,
who on no account would have permitted
themselves to sit down to table with their
metber, without first arranging thoir toi
let in the best manner their .circumstan
ces would permit, never suffered her, no
matter what the temptation, to attend
church or her weekly prayer meeting al
one. This consideration extended to
theminutest acts of their daily life, and
was most charming to sea. The mother,
it is hardly necessary to sey, was a lady by
birth and education, and had carefully
practiced toward her children that res
pect for their feeling, and thoughtful
nest for their comfort, which she after
ward received from them.
The great waatin families U justice and
reciprocity and that forbearance which it
is necessary for mortals always to exer
cise towards each other. We willingly
accept it from olhers, but we are not wil

forts and the Brazilian fleet, and Captain
Morris wat on shore. lie is now on boaid

clonounccs tho capture of tho Florida in
the most indignant terms.
J uo London iimcisays: The c.ipluro
OI !.J confsderato eteamer Florida in the
harbor of a friendly stato was on act of
simple piracy. Whea within a neutral
port she should havo been pcrkct'y free
from nioluflntion.
The London Herald savs that if the
Washington government duet not release
the Florida all tho maritime powers will
have the right to interfere in the matter.
From tho Journal da Babia, Oct. ' '
To-day we hnve to record another out
rage done to our sovereiguty, and another
slight to our means of defense.
the public knows the fact which took
place in our port between the United
Mates steamer Wachusett and the Con
federate States steamer Florida ; but as it
may be viewed incorrectly, we will, for
our own honor, refer to it as it look place.
The Florida came in on the 5th from
Santa Cruz de Tcnei ilia, in order to repair
tier engine and take in water, &o , for her
crew were not well, from eating rations of
salt meat, and drinking salt water filtered.
The U. S. Consul asked tho presidoutof
the provirce not to let the vessel into our
port, and to impose some penalty on her
lor not respecting Brazilian water in bur
ning an American vessel near the Island
of Fernando de Norocha. The Fresideut
replied that he had granted her two days
to make repairs that her engine needed.
There was in port the United States
steamer Wachusett, which, since tho com
ing in of the Flori.ia, had put iuelf in
motion in tho interior. Fearing some
Cm ht. since a challenge had been given,
the president or proving. ni.i.iinoH
from the coubuI his word of honor that
peace would be kept, and that no action
would take place in the port, or within
the line of neutrality. The Florida, for
better tecurity, was placed under the hat
ten ies of the flagship.
On the Gin, its crew being in neeJ of
some reoreation and rest, half of it was
put on liberty and went on nhore, coming
back in the evening. Many of the men
beng drunk, and . considering himself
guaranteed in a noutral port, the captain
of the Florida let thirty of his crew and
some of his olticers sleep on shore on the
nights of the (3th and 7th. At S.w ot tue
break of day the ollicer of the deck, Hun
ter Junior, was surprised to hear tho ca
bles loosen on board the Wachusett, and
her crew cal'ed to quarters, which wus
very difficult Tor it to do. Nearly at the
samo time boats filled with men. boarded
the Florida, receiving from her a volley
of musketry, and they were seconded by
the Wachusett, which not being seen ow

night being very dark, had left her posi

Hardly had she struck the latter when
she fired a shot from her bow gau. At
once a mast of the Florida fell over, and
she lost some mon ; but the cr ew returned
a feeble fire. .
It is asserted that there was great lost
of life at all points in the struggle that
took place with revolvers and cold steel,
and that it did not last long, for the com
plement of the Florida wo reduced by
neatly fifty men. Among the deud it sid

It is understood here that Mr. Seward
has prepared and transmitted, or is about
to transmit, to tho Brazilian government
a letter, whtrin, with a customary coup di-
Y.iitaIii1a 1 . 1 ' i I .f. . 'V
pwmauvjue, it is saiu ne tenuers tne most
ample apology for the recent violation of
the neutrality law by the Wachusott in
soizing the Florida at Bal.ia, while at
the same time he rtoesnot offiir to return
the captured vessel to the port wnere she
was seized This lotter, it ia hoped, will
allay any irritation which may be felt at
the conduct of the. federal officers. There
is but one opinion here in the matter, and
that is, that the seizure of the Florida.
while in the waters and under the protec
tion of a neutral power, was a gross viola
tion of the law of nations', strict repara
tiop for which oD'enso would include tho
return of the Florida to Bahia, the dismiss
al from the Bervico of tho captain of the
Wachusott, and the removal of our consul
at tho port in question, together with full
apolnjry for the urjuslifiuble cenduct of
the United States officials. Mr. Seward,
his friends claim, will endeavor to save na
tional pride such a humiliation, and at
the samo time satisfy tho Brazilian gov
ernment that the ollense was not a wnoton
on. A war with Brazil would nol be
agreeable just now, because probably one
ot the first actions of that power, if she
should pluck up courage to declare hos
tilities, would be to recognize the inde
pendence of the Confederate Slates, then
open her ports for the adjucalion upon
and disposal of all prizes taken by rebel
privateeis, and otherwise assist the Con
ledorcy. The navy of Brazil is nol very
lurge, but the could put afloat a great
many privateers, and beside, thousands of
free booters would embrace the opportu
nity of preying upon our commerco under
the Brazilian ting, so that in a short timo
possibly, not an unarmed American ves
el would be left upnn the sea.
Wasuinotok, Nov. 13,
tV,nV. T''pmas Wilson, m.-riran Consul
at Bahia, Brazil, arrived in thu city inuu
Fortrens Monroe on Saturday. 1 1 is under
stood that he had an immediate inter
view with the Secretary of Slate, I tit
what transpired is unknown. A
rumor is floating about to tho eflect that
Mr. Wilson narrowly escaped with his life
from the populace at Bahia, and that his
residenco was mobbed, and only saved
from destruction by ilyo interference of
the military.
WHAT MAY GROW OUT OF A WAR WITn TiRAZIL.
A very general impression prevails that
we shall have serious difliculty with Bra
zil, growing out of the aflijr of the Florida.
It is atserted that the capture of the robul
pirate will prove tho most eignihrunt luv-
or that could have been show n tho con
federacy; for, it is claimed, should the Bra
zilian government declare war, it would
nt once recognize the confederate Statei
as an independent power, and fucli recog
nition would l.e followed in due time by a
similar courie on the port of other pow
ers, including Portugal, .pain, r ranee, and
Enchnd, who have, it is confidentially af
firmed, only waited for some other powe
to initiate such a movement.1.

Ou the 7th. as soon as it became known
that an insult had been ollcred to our flag
by the United Statet Sieimer Wachusett
in capturing the Confederate States steam
er Florida in our port during the night
time, a crowd went to the olhce of the
United States consul, and forcing in the
door took the arms that wcte there and
threw them about the streets as far as the
lower city.
In front of (he Alfandeja, somo sailors
of the Florida tried to gat hold of the
arms, but thev would nol be civen to
them. A. force of police was then order
ed out at once, and was placed on guard
before tho houno in wbicbthecontul was,

was 1 born ; tht-rethe sacred dead repose;
it was my house and nsy home ; and there
has your neice. who lived among us all
this horrid war, up the present moment,
mot all kindness and hospitality at my
hands,
Wat it for this that you turned me, my
young daughter and little eon upon the
world without asheller ? Or was it because
my husband is the grand son of the Rev
olutionary patriot and rebel, Uichard
ffenry Lee, and tho near kinnninn of the
noblest of Christian warriort, the greatest
of generals, Itobcrt E, Lee? Heaven'
blessings be upon him forever ! You and
your Government havo failed to couquor,
subdue, or match him ; and disapointed
rage and malice find vent upon the help
leas and inoffensive.
Hyena like, you havo torn my heart lo
pieces ; for all hallowed memories clust
ered around that homestead ; and, demon
like you have done it without even the
pretext of revenge ; for I never saw or
harmed you. Your office is not to lead iike
a brave man and a soldier your men to
fight in the ranks of war, but your work
has "teen to seperate yourself from all
danger, and with your incendiary band
steal unawares upon helpless women and
children, to insult and destroy. Two fair
homes did you yesterday ruthlessly lay in
ashes, giving not a moment's waruing to

own uion for the cruel work you have giv

In the caso of Mr. A. It. Boteler, both
father and mother were fur awoy. Any
heart but thai of Captain Martiudale (and
yours) would have been touched by thai
little circle, comprising a widowed daugh
ter, just risen from heir bed of illness, ber
three liltlo fatherless babes the eldest
not five year old und her heroic sister.
I repeat, any mnn would havo been
touched at that sight. But Captain Mar
tidale one might as well hope to find
mercy and feeling in the heart of a wolf,
benl on hi prey of young lambs, as to
fiud such qualities in his bosom. You have
chosen well your man fcr such deeds ;
doubtloss you will promote him.
A oolonel of the Federal army has stot
ed that you deprived forty of your officers
of their commands br-causo they rcfusod
to carry out your malignant mischief. All
honor to their names for this, at least
they are men. They have human hearts,
and blush for such a commander.
I ask, who that does not wish infamy and
disgtace attached to him forever, would
serve under you 1 Y'our name will ntand

women and innocent children; the Hunter
