Paraguay.
The Alexandria Gazette of June 1st, understands
that letters have been received from Hon. John 8.
Pedleton, Charge d’Affairs to the Argentine con
federation, which state that he has concluded a trea
ty with the Republic of Paraguay, and which awaits
the exchange of ratifications to go into effect. The
details or agreement are yet unknown, bnt it is pre
sumed they are the Bame in form and substance, as
are contained in like treaties of friendship, commerce
and navigation. The Washington Intelligencer, com
menting on the fact, gives the following interesting
statements:
More than a million of people, scattered over a
country larger than New York, Pennsylvania and
Virginia together, and which produces in the greater
part, if not throughout its whole extent, tho richest
articles of Commerce—tobocco, rice, cotton, indigo,
Ac.,—must prove, If not immediately, certainly in a \
very short time, a most valuable addition to tbe busi
ness of the commercial States, and especially to the
United States.
It is a country not adapted to the production of
wheat, and most always rely on a foreign supply of
breadstuff), except Indian corn, which it produces
very well. It has no manufactories, and must supply
itself also from abroad with most of the articles
of that class which its new wants and its vast resour
ces will at the same time demand and enable it so
easily to pay for.
Tbisbonntry was one of the firet of tbe South
American States which threw off the authority of the
mother country. Its geographical position, on the
head waters or the Rio de la Plata, or rathor at the
head of navigation, and 1,500 miles from the Atlantic,
has not only secured its independence, but protected
it entirely from any attemntat its re-subjugation.
It exchanged the authority of old Spain for the rule
ot one of the most remarkable men who has perform
ed a part in the government of States during the pre
sent century.
For upwards of thirty years the celebrated Dr.
Francis continued to maintain his authority by means
of a system of tbe most remorseless tyranny and ca
pricious cruelty of which there is any example in the
history of the world. One of the means by which
his power was continued unimpaired to the moment
of his death, was a policy of nonintercourse and iso
lation, as complete and infiexibio as that of tbe island
of Japan. Tbe laws of the country (which were
nothing to the edicts of Francia, who united oil pow
er in hu own person,) forbade the entry of any hu
man being Into the terrritory of Paraguay, on any
pretaxt whatever. Of the few who by any ebanre
did enter, uohe were permitted to return ; a very few
did eacape. and from their Imperfect reports only has
the world for half a century had any consciousness of
the existence ot this republic, so called.
Tbe talents of Francia, profiting by the perpetual
contusions and civil wars of the surrounding prov
inces, enabled him to protract so long this singular
anomaly. Being himself the strongest power, and
standing perfectly aloof from all connections what
ever, he wm allowed his own way for the third of a
century, and died in the foil possession and exercise
of his power.
After bis death the present Preaident, Lopez, was
, appointed. Although Lopez is not a tyrant, he has
still bdtvtry gradually relaxed tho system of Fran*
da in respect to foreign intercourse. He lias steadily
refused to make treaties, though repeatedly solicited
thereto, udt only by tbe South American States, but
by the European powers.
Within the last six months ho was persuaded to
make s treaty with tbe Argentine Confederation, and

Increased, at tbe same time, $9,768,086.
The Philadelphia .Coming Bulletin learns from
tbe United States Mint that the amount of gold de
posited there during the month of May, has been
about $4,400,000, and the full return will probably
bring the aggregate nearly up to the deposits of last

It will be observed that the deposits of every month
this year exceed those of tho same month last year,
while tho aggregate cxceas is nearly seven millious.
Tbe entire deposits lost year were about $51,000,000.
At the ratio of the firet five months, the entire de
posits of this year will be about $61,000,000 ; show
ing a very large increase in tba productiveness of our
California possessions.
Tbe shipments of specie to foreign countries during
the mouth of May bare been $2,204,545. The entire
shipments of spocie to foreign countries since the 1st
of January, amount to $5,294,532, against $9,511,570
to tbe same time last year. Our receipts, therefore,
from California, since January 1st, exceed our exports
to Europe by about nineteen millions of dollars. The
decline In our receipts of gold, as compared with last
year cannot but be productive of moat favorable re
sults upon the business interests of tho country. And
while we are receiving at the rate of five millions a
month from California, no alarm need be felt at an
export of a million and a quarter a month to Europe.
Our gold has become an article of merchandize, as
much as our cotton and our grain, and it would be
neither wlso nor beneficial to retain it in tbe coatry.

The American Japanese Expedition.
The United Statea steam frigate Mississippi, Capt.
Lee, arrived hero, on the 25th inst, and left this port
for China, on tbe 20th. This is oue of the fleet des
tined for the expedition to Japan. The result of this
demonstration will be known before the close of the
year. Should it be successful, it will exert a great
influence on tho commercial and political affairs of
this part of tho world. A large, populous, anil com
paratively civilized Empire will do thrown open to
commercial enterprise, and a new outlet will thus be
made to European manufactures which cannot fail
ultimately to become extremely valuable to the com
merce of Europe and America. But even should the
first efforts of the United States Government to es
tablish relations with Japan prove unsuccessful, it is
not likely that it will thereupon relinquish its pur
pose. Further measures will be adopted, and it may
be assumed thaftho result desired will sooner or later
be brought about.
Having thus entered upon a different course of poli
cy from that which has hitherto appeared to charac
terize tbe United States Government, viz : an absti
nence from interference in distant quarters, we can
not suppose that they will stop short and content
themselves with tbeir operations in Japan. It is pro
bable that they will next endeavor to obtain a footing
in China, and Chosan, which was so foolishly given
up by the English, will probably, ere many years
elapse, bo an American settlement. There wul be no,
lack of occasion for a quarrel with the Chinese, If that
Is needed for the accomplishment of the plans of tho
United States. They have a plenipotentiary in China,
aod he must be ill versed ia the business of his craft
if he cannot find canse for ofionco when the proper
time has arrived. In the Indian Archipelago, Ameri
ca has a wide and inviting field for tho enterprise of
her stirring and adventurous citizens, and in any
operations which they may undertake in that locali
ty they will be free from the treaty engagements which
have been found so restrictive of English enterprise
in this quarter.
There is nothing to prevent the Americans from
forming settlements and endeavoring to develop tbe
commercial resources of New Guinea. Borneo, Celebes
or any other quarter of the India Arcbiiftiago not in
actnal occupation of European Powers. We should
not regret seeing tbe Americans taking such a practi
cal interest in the affairs of tho Archipelago, as It is
clear that the Dutch will not aid in opening np the
Archipelago to other nations, and the English Gov
ernment has for so many years persisted in a vacilla
ting and Inconsistent, hut in general obstructive
course of policy, that It is evident we can little expect
any effectual assistance from it. To the enterprise of
the Americans we must therefore look for those mea
sures which shall extend the civilization and com
merce of western nations among the islandsofthe In
dian and Papus Archipelagoes, whoso rich varied na
tural productions will well repay tho labors which
may bestowed ia making them available.
Plainly Answered*
The people or Middle Florida are awake to their
interests, and when they arc ready to join a Georgia
Company, they will choose the one that affords them
tho most advantages. The port of Brunswick is well
known to all Foridians to be far superior to that of
Savannah—that it is twelve miles nearer the ocean—
that vessels of the largest class can always effect an
easy entry, aud more, that it is nearly one hundred
miles nearer the center of their State ; and when we
are told that the peable of Middle Florida will lay
aside all these advantages, and aid in tbe building of
a road far less advantageous, we have serious doubts
arising ia our mind. It is true, however, that some
few men in Middle Florida advocate the Savannah
road, some of whom, we doubt not, are interested in
the growth and prosperity of Savannah Georgia
IValrhman.
Our cotemporary docs not seem to understand why
“ the people of Middle Florida lay aside ” the supe
rior advantageous.” We will “ illuminate ” him. In
the first place, tho people of Middle Florida have very
little faith in tho Brunswick schemeit may go a
head, but they have their doubts. Not so, however,
with regard to Savannah. They believe the latter
scheme to be 6ono fide—and this of itself would be
sufficient to induce them to favor Savannah in prefer
ence to Brunswick. But this is not all. Brunswick
points to Thomaavllle, with a branch thence to Talla
hassee. On the other hand, Bavannah proposes to
unite with ns at the Eastern limit of Middle Florida,
and we should be dead to our own interests if we did
not prefer her proposal to the other’s. The latter
offers advantages to one County, (Leon)— tho other
embracesyfue Counties, (Hamilton, Madison. Jeffer-
sou, Leon, Gadsden, to say nothing of Wakulla.)—
Which should we choose, Mr. Watchman ? But there
is still another reason. We might favor Brunswick,
and then be a long, long time in getting the road, if
we ever got it at all; and why ? Simply because the
getters up of tho scheme are speculators, without
capital or credit, who must rely upon chance to raise
tho means to compass the work. They may succeed,
but the odds are against them:—moqoy lenders are
now a little Hhy or projects started by men who live
by their wits. This, on the contrary, Is not the case

A Little Quakeress in a Hurry to get Mar
ried.
An amusing matrimonial story is told of the olden
time of New England. It so fell out that two young
people became very ranch smitten with each other,
as young people sometimes do. The young woman’s
father was a wealthy Quaker—the young man was
poor but respectablo. The father could stand uo such
union, and resolutely opposed it, and the daughter
dare not disobey—that is to say, she dare not disobey
openly. She ,r methim by moonlight,” while she
pretented never to see him—and sho pined and wasted
in spite of herself. She was really in love—a state of
sighs aud tears, which woraau oftuer reach In Imagi
nation than iu reality. SUI( the father remained in
exorable. Time passed on, and the rose on Mary’s
damask cheek passed off. She let no concealment,
like a •• worm in the bud,” preyou that damaskpheek
however ; but when her father asked her why she
pined, she always told him. The old geutieman was
a widower, and loved bis girl dearly. Had it been
a widow mother who bad Mary in charge, a woman’B
pride never would have given way before the impoi^
tunities oft daughter. Men are not, however, so
Btuhboruln such matters, and when the father baw
that the daughter's heart was really set upon the
match,he surprised her one day by breaking out—
“ Mary, rather than mope to death, thee had better
marry as thee cboses, and when the please.”
And what did Mary ? Walt till the birds of tho air
had told herswain or the change, or wait till her fath
er had time to alter his mind again ? Not a bit of it.
She clapped her neat, plaiu bonnet on her head,
walked directly Into the Btreet, and then aa directly
to tho house or her intended as the street would carry
her. She walked into the house without knocking—
for knocking was not then fashionable—and she found
the family just sitting down to dinner. Some little
commotion was exhibited at so unexpected an appar
ition as tho heiress in the widow’s cottage, but she
heeded it not. John looked uu inquiringly. She

The Fireside*
Tho fireside is a seminary of infinite importance.
It 1b important because it is universal, and because
the education it bestows, being woven In with the
woof of childhood, gives form and color to the whole
texture of life. There are few who can receive the
honors of a college, but all are the graduates of
hearth. The learning of tho university may fade
from tho recollections, its classic lore may moulder in
the halls of memory: but the simple sessous of home,
enameled upon tho heart of childhood defy the rust
of years, and outllvo the more mature but less livid
pictures of after days. So deep, bo lasting, indeed,
are the impressions of early life, that you Bee a man

tion tho events of childhood, while all tho wide space
between that and the present hour is a blasted and
forgotten waste. Yon have perhance seen an old and

Southern Georgia.
A letter from one of our firm, dated Troupville,
31st ult., thus notices this section, to wit:
" It is with pleasure that we notice the rapid strides
that Southern Georgia Ih making in regard to her
farming interest and the general intellgence of her
people. Her rich lands, which have been lying idle
for years, and inviting cultivation, are beginning to
be appreciated. We ue numbers of intelligent
planters moving to yearly: and the prospect of a
railroad which will fully develops the resources of
this region, is sensibly felt. Lands are selling rapid

; and it is to the interest of
jitend to locate in this pert of the State,
if tbe contemplated railroad is built, to move on now.
From tbe interest and the determination manifested
by the planters, there is but little doubt, if any, that
it must be built. Tbe necessity of each a road at
this time, is too sensibly ielt to be delayed any longer.

Florida Paint Root.
This root grows in great abundance in the flat
woods, near the streams, and in tbe savannahs of the
cannties of Levy,Marion,Sumpter, and perhaps many
other counties of East and South Florida. It has a
top similar to the flag, and a root about the size of a
man’s thumb, of various lengths, running horizontal,
not far below the surface. It is very jnicy, and of a
deep red color. Hogs are exceedingly found of it,
and fatten on it rapidly, if they are black, or have
black hoofs. It is said by the old settlers that hogs
with white hoof seem to founder, and their hoof comes
off, which causes them to perish unless fed well till
they recover. Even when tbe animal has only one
white hoof the others black, tho white hoof comes
off. Tho root colors tbe flesh, bones and marrow, of
bogs that feed upon it, and tbe urine becomes of the
color of blood. There is no doubt this root may bo
substituted for madder, aud become a source of no in-
considerable traffic, to the people of Florida. Like
the arrow root or corapto—it grows spontaneously iu
great abundance and may be cultivated, if thought
advantageous.—Ocala Mirror.

Rooms from 300 Broadway, to more spacious and com
modious quarters at No. 3 Ghainhoni-strcct, near

the East River Saving’s Bank has been leased for five
years to come. Tho now rooms are ample in space
and every convenience. The Library already consid

works, while the Reading Room is the most desirablo
in the city. The rooms a re freo to printers, type
founders, stereotypera, engravers, book binders, and
all othera connected with the newspaper and book

Judicial Insolence*
Judge Morris, this morning, at Chambers, gave a
singular illustration of his fitness for the position
which he now holds upon the Bench or the Supreme
Court. A member of the bar had occasion to ask his
signature to a legal advertisement, to bo published
In one or more of the City papers. The Judge re
marked that he would not sign his name to any paper
that was to go into the Journal of Commerce, Tribune,
Times, or Evening Post. He then named an ob
scure morning paper, to which ho recommended it to
be sent. The lawyer objected, that no ono would see
it there, but the Judge was partiuacious, and had
his way.
Will our readers credit the fact that there is a
Judge belonging to the Supreme Court or this, or any
other District in the State of New York, who is capa
ble or such a cowardly attempt to interfere with the
freedom of the Press f The Judge will learn in sea
son. if he does not know already, that a demagogue
must ascend much higher than the Bench of the Su
preme Court to get beyond the reach of newspaper
censorship.—N. Y. Evening Post, 3d.

Official Report.
Coast Survey Orncs, May 26,1853.
Sir s—I nave the honor to report the following re-
suits for the geographical position of Punta de los
Reyes, California, (olr F. Drake’s Bay,) from observa-
tojnriooa in this
we have re
ive learn that
Thunder Stonh.
Between one and two o’clock yesterday roomings
wo were visited by ono of the moat severest thunder
storms which has been experienced in this city for
years—for half an hoar the rain descended iu tor
rents, and the vivid flMbes of lightning and heavy
peels of thunder, reverberated over the city without
intermission.
The electric fluid, also, indulged in some strapgo
▼agarics. It struck a large wooden building In Rut-
loge-street, Uannonsboro, tbe residence of Mr. Wm.
Lucas, passing through both bed rooms and escaping
from one through the window, and the other along
the gas pipe. 5fr. Luces, who was in bed at the time,
was momentarily stoned. The house had, we un
derstand, two lightning conductors, and had been
struck in 1822. To show the intensity of tho lightn
ing, we need only state that the bell wires were mei-
Another house in the Northwestern part of the city
was also struck, bnt not materially damaged.
Tile schooner Emma Baker fn the Btreara was
likewise struck, the fluid splintering her masts, Ac.
The full of water was ono inch and a quarter, the
largest which has take place since the 10th of March
lust.
There was nlno a slight sprinkling yesterday after-
noou und evening, aud from the aspect of tho atmos-
I there we should not be surprise were wo to have a
icavy rain;—Char. Courier, 9th.
From the IUo Grande.
Details of nows from the Rio Graude bring a few
interesting itcuislfrom Brownsville:
The Flag states that the imported goods alone
which passed throagli Brownsville during the past
year amounted, according to the collector's statement,
to the large sum of five millions of dollars in value,
and thut tiro domestic manufactures could not fall
short or that amount. This will give Bomo idea of
the trndo done in tho Valley of theTtiq Grande.
During the month of April last thoro were import
ed from Mexico, at Brownsville, and entered in the
Custom House,3,828 hides, 481 horses and mules, 307
bags of wool, 84 deer and goat skins, 1,030 ox horns,
amounting in value to $12,111, and yielding areve-
□ue to tire United 8tates of $2,171 45.
A Contrast.— 1 " I wish I could see a pleasant face
when 1 come home. Tired 1 Yob I that’s always the
cry. 1 never get tired—oh, no 1 Customers to please

him. Bill, hunt up my slippers. 5Iary, draw np the

for them. There's Saunders, he takes comfort. Hfs

If there’s auy thing I hate it's a faded woman. Light

here in peace I’ll go over to Saunders’. ”
* * * • * *
“Mary, dear,how tired you look. Give me that
great strapping boy. No wonder your arms ache.—
Oh, never mind me. I’m always 0. K. at home,
you know. Tike the rocking chair yourself, and just
bo comfortabio. Ain’t I tired ? Why, yes I am—a
llttlo, but thee I’ve feasted on fresh air and suushine
to-day, which you haven’t. Besides, I don’t have
such a lump cf perpetual motion as this to manage.
'• Bless my soul—how do you live these hot days?
Never mind the rooml every thing looks well enough
—you included—except that you are looking a trifle
better than well. How do you manage to keep so

Well might tbe smiliug answer be, “ the freshness
and fullness of my husband's love, keess my heart
green."
Aunt Tom Stowe tells the English people that tho
women of America dare not speak and act tbeir real
feelings in regard to slavery, through fear of their
busbaudd and other relations! This is juBt such a
libel upon her countrywomen as we should expect
the author of " Uncle Tom ” and the " Key" to ut
ter ; for the person who could concoct such stuff as is
found there, will not scruple to libel her own house
hold, if by so doing she can increase the contribu
tions which sbo is now receiving from tho poor over
tasked laboring people of England. Not content
with having mude about I100.00U by the sale of her
hooka, written In a spirit of detraction and malice,
Aunt Tom must perambulate England and add to her
own disgrace by libelling her countrywomen, while
adding to her lortune by receiving penny contribu
tions from- poor laboring men and women who are
able to earn scarcely enough to supply the bare ne
cessaries of life.—Jv. H. Patriot.
JIelancholy.—Two students of the Junior Class

wind being very high and they unskilled la naviga

former a preacher in the Methodist Church, and the
latter preparing for the Baptist Ministry. The bodies
were taken home by their College friends.
"We had a ride yesterday,”says the Columbia
Banner, of Wednesday, “ among some ot the plan

could be done. The corn crops are looking well ana
cotton beginning to grow.
“ Last night we had quite a storm of thunder and

Sidney) and Fred Coy, a bay horse from Kentucky,
aud well known in tho Sates as a very fast mile

(valued at $23,000.) and five hundred young mares,
(valued at $5,000,) making in all $80,000. $40,000 a

that it is hard to distinguish one from the other. This
