Highly Intereuting Letter.
Paraguay Commission, )
Asuncion, Feb. 11,1859. J
To Uii Ercellency, James Buchanan.
President of the United States.
Sir: I have the honor to inform you
that this commission has been eminently
successful, not merely in settling all our
differences here in o peaceful ana friendly
rhanner, but in enlarging the sphere of our
commercial privileges in these waters, and
extending the time of the treaty, and in
such a way as to enlist cordial sympathies,
and strengthen the bonds of friendship for
the future.
All this you would find in my despatches,
protocols, and the treaties themselves, re
turned by me to the State Department;
but, as that would impose a laborious re
search, I have thought proper lo give you
the important points through the briel me
dium of a private letter.
When I arrived on these waters things
looked gloomy enough.
Whon we reached Montevideo all seemed
distant and reserved—indeed, unkind. I
determined to dissolve that icy reservo,
and give them a better impression of us, as
I knew evory sentiment here was rapidly
carried inland throughout the country.
The Commodore and mysolf, after three
days of delay, succeeded in procuring an
interview with the President of Uraguay.
It was stately and formal, until I convinced
him that our purpose was neither war,des
olation nor conquest. He then threw off
his reserve, and, shaking my hand warmly,
expressed great delight at hearing such
sentiments from me. I observed in the
crowd el officials around us that the Se
cretary for Foreign Affairs was not there.
I therefore, on the same evening, called
f irivatoly upon him at his house, and had a
ong interview with him, which resulted in
completely disarming his hostile feeling.
At the beginning he told me frankly he
was the friend of President Lopez; at the
conclusion he avowed himself our friend,
and, with my permission, he would imme
diately advise his friend Lopez of our lofty
and elevated sentiments, and desire for
peace.
When I reached Parana, the capital of
the Argentine Confederation, I met Gene
ral Urquiza, the President, and had a long
interview with hint, the tenor of which is
preserved by my Secretary, Mr. Ward, and
sent to the State Department. General Ur
quiza, who is every inch a soldier, and who
in that interview, by his chivalrous frank
ness, bad won rapidly upon my confidence,
tendered me his mediation, which of course
I was forced to decline, as I informed
him, for two reasons—first, because my
instructions had not anticipated such an
event; and second, because two out of the
three points of difference were points of
honor, and a nation, no more than an in
dividual, could arbitrate its honor. But I
assured him that, whilst I was compelled
to decline his mediation as the bearer of the
olive branch, and knowing the views of the
administration, and its anxiety for an ami
cable but honorable adjustment of unhap
py difficulties, I should feel grateful to him
for any kind offices he might employ in
carrying out these peaceful views. As 1
closed these remarks, the General, with a
kind of electric spontaneity, sprang from
his seat,and striking his breast fiercely with
his hand, said : I am a soldier, but a man
of peace ; and, as a friend of peace, and a
friend of your government, I accept your
invitation, and will meet you at Asun
cion.
I reached.here on the 24th January, and
General Urquiza had anticipated me
several days. Within an hour after our
arrival, and before I left the vessel, Senor
Amaral, the Brazilian minister, called upon
me and offered his mediation on behalf of
his Bmperor. I declined it for the reasons
above, and invited his friendly offices in
like manner, assuring him of our desire
for peace and friendship, if we could have
them with honor. He warmly accepted my
invitation for his friendly offices.
Our consul called directly after, and I
came ashore with him. Every thing look
ed cold and distant. The people seemed
not to know how to behave towards me,
and gazed at me as they would upon some
evil thing cast amongst them. The very
first thing I did on shore, as my position
was doubtful, was to address a note to Se
nor Vasquez, Secretary of State, &c., in
forming him of my presence in Asuncion,
and desiring him to fix a time to see me,
that we might arrange an interview with
the President. He promptly replied, and
we met next morning. We had a pleasant
interview, and fixed the time for the Presi
dent’s reception for the next day after.
Soon after my arrival, I learned from
Gen. Urquiza that I would be cordially and
kindly received by the President. This
information induced me to abandon (head
dress I had prepared, briefly reviewing all
the points of difference and maintaining
our position ; and I hastily prepared an
other of mere courtesy and kindess, leav
ing the contest on the points for the fu
ture. At the reception [ was accompanied
by Commodore Shubrick, his suite, and all
the officers of the Fulton in full uniform,
making a fine-appearance. The President
was magnificently dressed, with his suite
of officers in uniform, and received me
kindly and courteously, with his chapeau*
brass, glittering with gems and lace, under
hisarm. Indeed, the reception was all that
could be desired. I did not let him exceed
me in courtesies. I mention these things
because there has been constant trouble
here about forms and receptions.
Directly after the interview, 1 learned
through Gen. Urquiza that my speech and
manner had had a wonderful effect in soft
ening down the President, and that he was
so charmed with the whole proceedings
that everything would be for me to open to u
free and frank intercourse. Upon this hy
pothesis, it was arranged that I should pro
ceed alone in my negotiations, but that I
would let no hitch conclude them without
giving him (the General) an opportunity to
reconcile such differences.
My interviews then wi^h the President
commenced daily, and sometimes twice a
day, and were always cordial, frank, free
and harmonising. We became better
friends at every meeting, but could not
agree upon all points. Finally, it was pro
posed that our next meeting should be held
in presence of Gen. Urquiza, Gen. Guido,
bis minister, and Sr. Amaral. I promptly
accepted. When we met, no one but Gen.
Urquiza, and his private secretary, were
present. We commenced the discussion
of the points of difference one by one, and
as we settled them, they were reduced to
writing. We then drew up an agreement,
which was signed by the President and my
self. This was tho crowning glory of the
whole affair ; and in the general joy over
it, General Urquiza embraced President
Lopez.
By the settlement we make a|new treaty,
with changes liberalising it ; a convention
to settle the company’s claim ; ten thous
and dollars to the family of tho sailor kill
ed on the Water Witch ; receive a satis
factory letter of regrets and apology for
this affair and treatment ol the government
agents, with full permission to explore the
rivers.
This negotiation is looked upon here as
an immense triumph in diplomacy, as only
a few months ago Lopez refused to renew
the treaty with England. He has not only
renewed ours, and enlarged its sphere, but
what is worth more than all for our inter
ests is, that he has done it in a very friend
ly spirit. When we closed our meeting,
agreeing upon the points, he made me a
little speech, which my modesty would not
to record. He touched my
when he spoke of Paraguay
ie, and he traduced by foreign
o created the difficulties, by
from him thfc respect due to
aod he cheerfully and warm-
credit for troating him in ail
our intercourse with the most delicate re
spect and esteem, and said he would pay
some portion of tho debt of gratitudo he
felt to mo for it by informing you of it in
an autograph letter.
From tho people here I have met with
nothing but kindness, particularly after it
was known that my first interview with
tho President was so agrceablo. They
were much alarmed at our expedition, and
this news seemed to lift a burdon from
their hearts. They ore a simple, inoffen
sive people, governed, I should judge, with
a despotic rulo, under which they seem to
flourish. They are a lively .spirited people,
and remarkably neat and clean for an In
dian mixed raeo. The market place in the
morning is a beautiful spectacle, to see
nearly a thousand women, all dressed in
pure white cloan dresses, and all barefoot
ed. To wear shoes hero is a high mark
of aristocracy. You can see, every dny
nearly, handsome worner^ (except the
tawny color,) with bright eyes and rich
suits of black hair, with Swiss muslin
dresses flounced from tho waist down,
walking in bare feet through tho streots.
The soil is very sandy, and they pretend
they cannot walk well in shoes.
The idens of great wealth, which have
been made to flouish so conspicuously in
the accounts we have had of them, vanish
into air at the touch of truth. I see here
nothing but unmistakable evidences of n
poor but happy, laughter loving people,
made to assume a belter appearance than
their neighbors from the strong hand that
rules them. Their government is of the
cheapest character imaginable, and the
revenue to support it is mainly derived
from monopolies on articles of produce,
somewhat peculiar to the country. Their
revenues from customs must be small, as
they are certainly neither a producing nor
very consuming people. This revenue is
chiefly spent on an army and for fortifica
tions. As the President is the fountain and
source ol all power, he is also the recipient
and the disburser of all revenue, which, in
the eyes of a simple people, confounding
the individual with the State, makes up
the occount of that fabulous wealth about
which so much has been said.
This is a small Stato, claiming some
six hundred thousand inhabitants, and
having scarcely four hundred thousand,and
they nearly all Indians of the Guarnnee
race, civilised under the rigid rule of the
Jesuits. They are not an industrious race,
in our sense of that word ; they are onlv
comparatively industrious, in contrast with
their neighbors, who are perfectly indolent
and unambitious beyond tho necessities of
life from day to dny. Such a population
is not likely to make a very rich State.—
Their country is no doubt very produc
tive in articles of a peculiar ana valuable
character, such os Yerby, or Paraguay
tea, and many medicinal plants and gums,
and peculiar woods of the forest ; but be
yond that, I know of nothing they produce
superior lo ourselves in quality and, noth
ing to compare to us in quantity, with an
equal population. They can produce sugar
cheap, as the plant lasts for many years ;
and they have a beautiful staple of cotton,
but they raise neither beyond a mere sup
ply of their necessities.
Tho real secret of Paraguay’s apparent
prosperity in contrast with her neighbors
(for it wouTd not do to contrast her with a
progressive people) lies in the fact of her
exemption from revolutions. For this
exemption she is indebted to the bloody
rule of Doctor Francia, who left few ambi
tious aspirants behind him to contend for
empire.
The Republic contains about eighty
thousand square miles, a little larger than
one of our larger States. It is almost sur
rounded by water, like an island, and the
rivers deep and navigable, In soil and
climate it is one of the most cfwming
spots in the great valley of the La Plata, a
valley equal in size to the great valley of
the Mississippi, It lies | in this valley,
geographically, just as Missouri does in
the valley of the Mississippi, only a warm
er climate, as is general in this country.—
The lime must come when these vast
plains of the La Plata must cease to be
mere grazing grounds for innumerable
herds of wild cattle, and in turn become
the seat of amighty empire.
These rivers certainly have no rivals on
the globe. The main trunk is a fresh run
ning stream with a distinct current, where
it is fifty miles wide arid neither bank in
view; and this branch, one thousand two
hundred miles from the sen, except on the
bars, is from twenty to sixty feet deep, nnd
it is but one of the three principal branches.
I have extended this letter too long, and
must close by congratulating you upon
this gloriours consummation of a trouble
some measure of your administration.
I have the honor to be, with high con
sideration, your Excellency’s very obedient
servant,
James B. Bowlin.
Christianity in Jafan.—This Empire
is composed of threo large islands ofi the
coasts ol China. Its population is said to
bo about thirty millions. Our Consul-
General, Mr. Harris, has negotiated u
commercial treaty, which also guarantees
the toleration of the Christian religion.
The Foreign Committee, of the Episcopal
Church, have appointed two olgthe Mis
sionaries now in China to open up a mis
sion in Japan. The Portuguese, at one
time, had large missionary and trading es
tablishments in that Empire; in fact
Francis Xavier, the celebrated Apoaile ol
the East, made Japan the theatro ot his
most successful labors.
But these Roman Catholic Missionaries,
after a series of almost unheard of perse
cutions, were driven out ot Japan, and on a
chest containing the dead bodies of the last
detachment, was written : “Henceforward,
so long as the sun shall shine upon the
earth, let not any Christian bo so daring as
to set his foot in Japan.” For fully 210
years this threat has been enforced. So
rigidly was this enforced, that even her
own citizens who left home, were never
permitted to return. In 1831, a Japanese
vessel was driven across the Atlantic and
wrecked near the mouth ol the Columbia
river. Our government, at great expense,
sent this crew hack to their own country,
but they were not permitted to land, and
the ship was ordered from the harbor. In
1846, Commodore Biddle made an attempt
to open negotiations, hut failed, In 1849,
the U. S. ship Preble rescued some ship
wrecked seamen, but was forbidden to
communicate with the people.
It was not until the successful expedition
of Com. Perry, largely made known by its
brilliant results, that access was gained to
that densely populated Empire. Now,
eveiy year is adding largely to the results
thus commenced, until now Messrs. Reed
and Harrisf by their treaties, have opened
up to civilization and Christianity, China
and Japan, containing at least two-filths
of the human race. We suppot.;! that if
our globe now contains a population of
1,000,000,000, fully 400,000,000 of these arc
found in these two Empires.
Martin Forbisher, a daring explorer of
the kst century after tho North-west pas
sage, gave utterance to the remarkable re
gret that he had been born at so late a pe
riod of the world’s history, when nothing
remained to be done to immortalize him.
Let no one who desires to advance civili
zation or Christianity thus shrink, when
the door is opened to two empires, ulone
containing four hundred millions of the
human race.—Pittsburgh Journal.
Suicide of a Deceived Husband.—
Havre de Grace, Md., April 16.—James
Reed, one of the engineers of the ferry
boat Maryland, committed suicide here last
night by shooting himself and leaping into
the river. The recent discovery of his
wife's infidelity was the cause of the fa
tal act. He leaves several children and
grand-children.

Tho Odd Fellows' Celebration.
Mr. Editor ;—Tho undersigned adopt
this medium (through your kindness.) of
remonstrating with tbs fraternity of L O.
O. F., of Savannah, for the disappointment
they have occasioned us in allowing so
trivial a circumstance as the want of an
orator to intertere with the proposed cele
bration of the 26th. The undersigned do
solemnly protest against tho milk and wa
ter material which composed tho commit
tee appointed to carry out tho views of the
several lodge?. Wo contend there is yet
sufficient time for a respectable afi’air—that
is if tho lodges who, meet this week, and
we understand there are two, will take the
right steps and appoint young men to take
the matter in hand. We are satisfied the
ladies would roceivo from them no such
treatment as from tho former committee,
who
“Kept tho word of promt's to our ear
And broko it to our hope.”
Why was an orator so DuqeBsary ? Th©
history of Odd Fellowship we can learn
from books, and of tho workings of the or*
der, lor the alleviation of human suffering,
and the promotion of “Friendship, Love and
Truth,” we have every day practical de
monstrations in our very midst. We, there
fore, call loudly for a colebration. The
household of feminine Odd Fellowship is in
rebellion. They want no oration—they de
sire to enjoy a social gathering of Odd
Fellows and Odd Fellows’ wives and
daughters, and eons and mothers, and
aunts and uncles, and last, though not
least, of tho
Odd Fellows’ Sweethearts.
The Sickles Trial.
Washington, April 19.—Mr. Sickles’ two coach
man were placoil on the stand to-day, and testified
to the rrequent clandestine rides and solitary
rambles of Mr. Key and Mrs. Sickles; also to cer
tain visits and circumstances at Mr. Sickles’ house,
during his absence, and all confirwatoryof Mrs.
SJckles’ confession.
Early Risincj.— 1 Thoro is a capital anecdote of the
reign of Louis XVI of France, according to which
some Court ladies got it into their heads, from
some book they had been rending, that it must be
a glorious thing to see the sun rise. But as that
took place in the oulv hours iu which they were
uniformly in bed, what was to bo done? After
much consideration, it being of course impossible
fgr them to think of rising so early, they resolved
to have a party to sit up all night nnd rtde out jast
before day to the top of a neighboring bill'to wit
ness the strange phenomenon. Thl» was duly
performed, and tho friends then all went to bed,
astonished at the degree to which they had
rurali/.ed themselves. Daniel Webster, it soems,
during many years of his residence in Washington,
used to get up an hour before sunrise in winter,
light all the fires with his own hands, having a
knack at that sort of thiug, and then start olf to
market with a lasket on his arm, to purchase him
self the daily p. 'Visions, gaiuing afterwards, no
doubt, thus many an hour’s march on most of his
associates.
In New York there lias been formed a Young
Men’s Early Rising Association, all the members of
which are pledged to be up at a certain hour. It
originated with about halfa dozen young men.
who having kopt up this habit for some years were
surprised at its beneficial effects, at the success in
life of their associates.
A little watchful experience will render this not
surprising to any thoughful man. lie who rises
at five (instead or seven, dally, adds perhaps ten
years of the brightest hours to his life of active
thought and exertion. Life will bo prolonged,
health and happiness will be preserved. All other
animals but man sleep through, the dark hours
aud wake with the light. The tiuio ofall the occu
pations of the dny will be moved forward or back
ward by the time of rising. The early man takes
time by the forelock, aiul is always beforehand
with his competitor aud hia enemy, anticipates
tlieir desigus, aud has ail his affairs arrauged so
that they cannot be disturbed or molested. Not
the breakfast alone, but alt the meals, and the hour
of retiring, will be governed by this lmbit. Such a
man will drop to sleep in his chair at nine o’clock.
So muck the better. Consider the effect on the
young man. It is at the late hours that bad com
pany becomes most dangerous. Byron abuses the
moon as the light beneath which a thousand times
moro wickedness is done than the sun, and liu
who at twenty is never out of bed after ten, will
find it has savod him n fortune, and earned for
him a character before he is forty, of which he may
well be proud. Many a young man in Collego lias
been saved from dissipated habits by the ringing
of the College bell for morning prayers at five
o’clock. After getting up thus early and working
hard at study all day, ho was glad to get to bed be
tween uino and top, fairly worn out with honest,
useful, hopeful toil, instead of making a night of it
in idio dissipation.
In married life this habit of being early to bed
is worth years of life aud bappiuess. Tho children
are never wakoful till tlmy have got through their
first sleep. But after that, if a man has got all his
repose to got, it will.bo so often broken as soon to
break him down. He will become nervous simply
for want of sleep, sleep that he could have got
from nine till midnight, unbroken, but which he
cannot secure after. CronpB and colds and coughs
of children then becorao nails in their parents’
coffins. Intellectually a man can do twice tho
work whilo his mind is calm aud clear, as it is
early in the day, and as it is not and cannot bo
later. It was beforo ten o’clock generally that Sir
Walter Scott wrote his sixteen pages per day of
those novels which are tho delight of the civilised
world, and it has been beforo nino o’clock that in
our own. city Dr. Karnes has Written those com
mentaries on the Scriptures of which four hun
dred thousand volumes have been sold in this
country and as many moro in Europe. The very
self-denial aud self-command indicated and en
couraged by. this habit is not its losat| value. He
Bloody Fight with the Indians—
Ford's Hangers Cut Off.—The Centrevilie
Herald, published at Centreville Leon coun
ty, Texas, in its issue of the 8th inst., re
ceived yesterday, publishes the following
account of a desparate conflict with the
Indians, on the Northern frontier of the
State, in which Capt. Ford’s company of
Rangers was surrounded by eight hundred
Indians, and all killed except five :
I give you blow a brief statement ot the
loss of forty-threo o( our brave Rangers in
an unfortunate engagement with the In
dians.
Capt. Ford, with forty-seven of his men,
loft camp in pursuit of the Indians, who
had carried ofi four hundred horses. Ho
was joined by two hundred friendly Indi
ans, and afterwards by Major Van Don,
with two hundred and eighty regulars —
After gthe united forces had passed the
headwaters of Red River, Major Van Dorn
not deeming it prudent to presn the pursuit
further without additional supplies tor men
and horses, turned bock. Capt. Ford and
men, with the friendly Indians, continued
two days travel in the direction of Kansas.
Between midnight and daybreak ot tho
second night, the friendly Indiana left the
camp of Capt. Ford. About daylight
Capt. Ford found himself surrounded by
eight hundred warriors, who demanded
his surrender. Ho refused, and ordered
his men to prepare for fight, each being
armed with two revolvers and a rifle.—
They fought oravely and desperately, but
were overpowered by numbers, and all
butchered except Capt. Ford and four of
his men, who cut their way through and
escaped. , f „
Among the names of those who fell
fighting bravely, are the two nephews of
Gen. Ed. Burleson, Aaron and his brother,
whose father was killed in a former en
gagement with the Indians, and whose un
timely fate will be deeply regretted by
friends and relations in our county.
The above information was brought me
direct from Austin upon the arrival ol the
express from Capt. Ford, and is reliable.
Great excitement prevails in Travis an<T
adjoining counties, and it is supposed that
a largo company will start in pursuit of
the Indiuns so soon as preparations can be
made. Respectfully,
Titos. W. Blakc.
A FniLADELPOiA Count.—An American

room. The object of this gentleman's visit

The Princess and the Physician.
Few foreigners who were sojourning in
Rome during tho autumn of 18— can fail
to remember the violent illness ol the beau
tiful Princess C , which suddenly with
drew from the brilliant social circles of
that city their fairest ornament. The
means by which that illustrious lady was
restored to health, when given'over by all
the faculty at Rome, is not, however, so
generally known. She owes her life,and is
ever prompt to acknowledge the obligation,
to the most distinguished physician of the
age, Dr. Thomas Holloway. That extra
ordinary mar. happened to arrive in the
“Seven-hilled City” just at the crisis of
her disorder, and was immediately sum
moned to her palace. He found the Prin
cess in a sad condition. During an t vening
drive through the Campagna she had beon
smitten by the fearful malaria which some
times arises in poisonous clouds from the
adjacent marshes. The consequence was
a violent bilious attack, terminating in
jaundico. The lovely face which had daz
zled all eyes, and eclipsed all rivalry at ball
and bunquet, was yellow as saffron, and
the eyes which had kindled love and admi
ration in a thousand hearts were duller
than lead. In a feoble voice she inquired
of tho doctor what could be done for her,
at the same time protesting that if the hue
that now tinged her skin were to remain
after her recovery, she would rather die
than live Smiling at the pardonable van
ity of ono whose queenly beauty was the
theme of every traveler who visitod Rome,
he told her cheerfully that her life and her
loveliness were both salo. His prediction
proved true. Under the influence oi his
irresistible Pills, the yellow suffusion be
gan to pass off; and day by day, liko a star
bursting through a cloud, her beauty
was re developed. Within six weeks it
was announced that tho Princess would
soon gladden tho eves of her admirers ot
an evening festival, to take place at her
chateau at Tivoli, in honor of her recov
ery.
It may well be supposed that the Prill*
cess would willingly have displayed her
gratitude on a magnificent scale, but this
Dr. H. would not permit. He refused to
receive anything, save a mere souvenir ;
and sho presented him with a most appro
priate one. It was a double miniature,
set in emerslds .and diamonds, one case
representing the Princess as she lay upon
her sick bed, despoiled by disease of all
her charms, and the other containing her
likeness as she appeared at the fete in the
full bloom of restored health and beauty.
Tho memento was accompanied by a note,
in which were theso words, “ Whenever
you look at the two pictures imagine, if
you can, my boundless gratitude.” It may
well be supposed that Dr. Holloway treas
ures this delicate tribute to his skill among
his choicest souvenirs.—“Courrier Del
Populo," Rome.
Nuts for Poor Men !—It costs a deal of
money to be rich, and it is a question if so
much is worth so little. After oil, is wealth
worth the cost—first, in acquiring it, next
in supposing it, and lastly, in hearing up
under it when you have lost it ? It tnay
cost a great deal to be rich, but if you have
to enclose but the sumsol $10, $5, or $2%,
to Wood, Eddy&Co. P Wilmington, Dela
ware, the proprietors of the legalized lot
teries of that State, or the same small
amounts to the same responsible firms, at
Augusta, Georgia, you make a safe in-
vestment, and insure your chance in se
curing a competency, or making a rapid
fortune. You will acknowledge, under the
circumstances, that your wealth, thus ac-
ouired, was “worth the coat.” Wood,
Eddydc. Co., are the successors of Gregory
& Maury, and S'. Swan & Co-., and are
now the legalized lottery operators of the
United States.
