LETTER OK COMMISSIONER BOWLIN TO
THE PRESIDENT.
Paraquat Commission,
Asuncion, Feb. 11, 1859.
| To HU Excellency James Buchanan, President
of the United States :—
Sir—I havo the honor to inform you that
this Commission has been eminently success
ful, not merely in settling all our differences
here in a peaceful and friendly manner, but
in enlarging the sphere of our commercial priv
ileges in these waters, and extending the time
of the treaty, and in such a way as to enlist
cordial sympathies, aud strengthen the bonds
of friendship for the future.
All this you would find in my despatches,
protocols and the treaties themselves, returned
by me to the State Department; but as that
would impose a laborious research, I have
thought proper to give you the important points
through the brief medium of a private letter.
When I arrived on these waters things look
ed gloomy enough.
When we reached Montvideo all seemed dis
tant aud reserved—indeed, unkind. I deter
mined to dissolve that icy reserve, and give
them a better impression of us, as I knew ev
ery sentiment here was rapidly carried inland
throughout the country. The Commodore
and myself, after three days of delay, succee
ded in procaring an interview with the Pres
ident of Uruguay. It was stately and formal,
until I convinced him that our purposo was
neither war, desolation nor conquest. lie then
threw off his reserve, and, shaking my hand
warmly, expressed great delight at hearing
snch sentiments from me. I observed in the
crowd of officials around us that the Secrcta'
ry of Foreign Affairs was not there. • I there
fore, on tho same evening, called privately
upon him at hi« house, nod had a long inter
view with him, which resulted in completely
disarming his hostile feeling. At tho begin-
ing he told me frankly he was the friend of
President Lopez; at the conclusion ha avowed
himself our friend, and, with my permission,
he would immediately 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 General Ur-
quiza, the President, aud had a long inter
view with him. the tenor of which is preserved
by my secretary, Mr. Ward, nnd sent to the
State Department. General Urquiza, who is
every inch a soldier, and who in that inter
view, by his chivalrous frankness, had won
rapidly upon my confidence, tendered me his
mediation, which of course I was forced to de
cline, as I informed him, for two reasons—first,
hccauso iny instructions had not anticipated
such An event; and, second, because two out
of three points of difference were points of
honor, and a nation, no more than an individ
ual, could arbitrate its honor. But I assured
him that, whilst I was compelled to decline his
mediotion ns the bearer of the olive branch,
and knowing the views of the administration,
and its anxiety for an amicable but honorable
adjustment of these unhappy difficulties, I
should feel grateful to him for any kind offices
he might employ in carrying out these peace
ful views. As I closed these remarks, the
General, with a kind of electric spontaneity,
sprang from his scat, aud striking his breast
fiercely with his hand, said, “I atn a soldier,
but a man of peace; and as a friend of peace,
and a friend ofyourgovernment, I accept your
invitatiou, and will meet you nt Asuncion.”
I reached here on the 24th January, and
General Urquiza had anticipated me several
days. Within an hour after our arrival, aad
before I left tho vessel, Senor Amaral, tho
Brazilian Minister, called upon me and offer
ed his mediation on behalf of bis Emperor I
declined it for the reasons above, and invited
his friendly offices in like manner, assuring
him of onr desire for peace and friendship, if
we could have them with honor. He warmly
accepted my invitation for his friendly offices.
Onr Cuusnl called directly after, and I caine
ashore with him. Everything looked 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 casfcamongst them.
The very first thing I did on shore, as my po
sition was doubtful, was to address a uote to
Seuor Yasquez, Secretary of State, fee., in
forming him of my presence in Asuncion, and
desiring him to fix a time to sec me. that we
might arrange an interview with the President.
He promptly replied, and wo met next morn
ing. We had a pleasant interview, and fixed
the time for the President’s reception for the
next day after.
Soon after my arrival I learned from Gen.
Urquiza that 1 would be cordially and kindly
received by tbc President. This information
induced me to abandon the address I bad pre
pared, briefly reviewing all the points of dif-
tcrence and maintaining our position, and I
hastily prepared another of mere courtesy and
kindness, leaviug the contest on the points for
the future. At the reception 1 was accompa
nied by Commodore Shubrick. his suite, and
all the officers of the Fulton in full uniform,
making a fine appearance. The President was

To wear shoes here is a high mark of aristoc-
ncy. You can ses. every hour in the day near

with bright eyes aud rich suits of black hair,
with Swiss muslin dresses flounced from the

streets. Tho soil is very sandy, and they pre
tend they cannot walk well iu shoes.
Tho ideas of great wealth, which hare been
made to a flourish so conspicuously in the ac
counts we have had of them, vanish into air at
the touch of truth. I see here nothing but
unmistakable evidences of a poor but happy,
laughter-loving people, made to assume a bet
ter appearance than their neighbors from the
strong hand that rules them. Tbcir govern
ment is of the cheapest character imaginable,
and the revenue to support it is mainly deriv
ed from monopolies on articles of produce,
somewhat peculiar to thecountry. Their rev
enues from customs must be small, as they arc
certainly neither a producing nor very consu
ming people. This revenue is chiefly spent
■ army and fortifications. As the
President is tbc fountain and source of nil pow
er, he is also tbc recipient and the disburscr
of all revenue, which, in the eyes of a simple
people, confounding the individual with the
State, makes up the account of that fabulous
wealth about which so much has been said.
This is a small State, claiming some six hun

as I touched the ground, I shook the vine spite
fully, saying—“you obstinate tiling; I’ll ”
But my sentence was cut short, for, on turn
ing my head, I espied a young man leaning n-
gainst a tree, and his laughing face told me
that he had heard iny previous conversation.
Gathering my vines in my arms, I precipi
tately fled, but alas for my inglorious retreat!
I didn’t got started right, and my feet got en
tangled in the underbrush, nnd I fell, striking
iny face spat into a dingy looking mud pud
dle. The clayey mud, which stuck snugger
than a brother, sort of blinded tne; and, ere I
could regain my feet, the straugcr stood be
side me, proffering his assistance. I refused
his offer, and sprung to my feet with wonder
ful alacrity.
“Are you hurt, lady !’’ lie inquired, kindly.
“My feelings are,” I answered, snappishly.
“I feel_ so mortified, that I’ve literally turned
black in the face;” and pointed nervously at
my mud begriimued features, then took to my
heels again, and run for a pond that sparkled
iu the sunlight but a few rods distant. I heard
the*tranger laughing, and this accelerated my
already locomotive pace.
I sped down tho gently sloping bank, aud-
stopping cn the sandy beach. I slipped off iny
gaiters; but I had stained my stockings so
Fadly with the mud I thought it qute useless
to remove them ; so, tucking up my skirts, I
waded off where the water was deepest and
coolest, and I carefully washed my face to re
move the veil that concealed my beauty. (?)
I splashed round, and spattered Jep with
_ , water until I was tired, then prepared to walk

supo
ly indolent and unambitious beyond the ne
cessities of life from day Jo day. Such a pop
ulation is not likely to make a very rich State.
Their country is no doubt very productive in
articles of a peculiar and valuable character,
such as Yerba or Paraguayan tea, and many
medicinal plants and gums, and peculiar woods
of the forest; but beyond that I know of noth
ing they produce superior to ourselves in qual
ity, and nothing 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 - mere supply of
their necessities.
The real secret of Paraguay’s apparent pros
perity in contract with their neighbors—for it
would not do to contrast her with a progres
sive people—lies in the fact of her exemption
from devolutions. For this exemption she is
indebted to the bloody rule of Dr. Francia,
who left few ambitious aspirants behind him
to contend for empire.
This republic contains about 60,000 square
miles, a little larger than one of our larger
States. It is almost surrounded by water,
like an island, and the rivers deep and naviga
ble. In soil and climate it is one of the most
charming spots ia the great valley of the La
Plata, a Valley equal in size to the great val
ley of the Mississippi. It lies in this valley,
geographically, just as Missonri does in tbc
valley of the Mississippi, only a warmer cli
mate, as is general in this country. The time
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 a mighty empire.
These rivers certainly have no rivals on the
globe. The main truuk is a fresh running
stream with a distinct current, where it is fif
ty miles wide and neither bank in view ; and
this branch 1,209 miles from the sea, except
on the bars, is from twenty to sixty feet deep,
and it is bnt one of the three principal bran
ches.
I have extended this letter too long, aud
must close by congratulating you upon this
glorious consummation of a troublesome meas‘
ure of your administration.

watched it crumble to ashes.

I didn’t even blush when I made this discov
ery ; I was too provoked and indignant for
that; so I merely glanced nt him, and walked
to my gaiters, which, by much patient pull
ing. I succeeded in coaxing to cover ray wet,
soiled Etockings. I called my dog, reached
my hand for my bonnet, and prepared to start
for home.
“I saw your bonnet,” he said, apologetical
ly, “and brought it to yon ; bnt your cool po
liteness quite chills me.”
“Of course, I should be coolly polite, as I’ve
just come out of the water,” was my piovok-
uig reply ; “but you had no business, sir, to
sit on the bank and watch me on the lake.”
“Excuse me; but you appear to be as much
at home in tho water as a fish, hence my de
sire to see your playful sport.’ ’
“To which class of the finny tribe do you
think I belong ?”
“Really. I cannot tell,” he said musingly.
At this retort he laughed so merrily that
quite forgot my angry feeling, and sat down
on the log to weave my wreath. A few mo
ment’s silence followed, and then the stranger
said.
“When Isturtedout sketch this morning, I
had no idea of findingj ere nightfall, a wild-
wood flower for a companion.”
‘•Your mind changes, sir,’’ I said gaily ; “a
moment ago I was liko a fish; now I person
ate a flower; but do me the favor to tell me
which wild flower typifies me most truly.’’
He was sure he couldn’t tell which to liken
mu to, as there were many beautiful blossoms,
but perhaps I would give him my idea on the
subject. His evident inteution was to quiz
me. I nodded assent, and replied.
“Perhaps, when first you saw tne, there
might have been a vision of flowers, called

Tho uext day, with somo trifling errand for
an excuse, Jules Elliogtou presented himself
at Aunt Ellen’s and spent an hour with us in
aunt’s pleasant sitting room. The next day
and the next he caine, until we came to look
upon him as n regular visitor. He—the ac
complished city gentleman—found something
novel and pleasing in the society of his “wild
flower,” as he persisted in calling me, much to
the horror of my unromantic naturo. ■
One morning wo were all together—my
aunt, Jules and myself—when he, somehow,
spoke of his first introduction to tne, nnd my
aunt said, laughingly,
“I never can imagine what Mr. Ellington
can see about my wild, romping niece, to make
him wish to cultivate her acquaintance.”
Jules made some gay_ reply, and Aunt Ellen
turned to me for my opinion on the subject.
“I think,” I said, glancing quecrly at Jules,
that he was pleased with iny agility, and in
tends to send me to the Barrel family, to per
fect my gymnastic education.”
.,, , . , . Oh no! he wus charmed with my ingenuous-
sweet adjectives, thickly sprinkled with excla- „ ess and s i mp H c ity ; and he went on until 1
mation marks, and inlerlardod with •ohdoar’s laughed In Ids face, anil told him, Ry way of

in uniform, and received me kindly and cour
teously, with his chapeau bras, glitteriug with
gems and lace, under his arm. Indeed, the
reception was all that could be desired. I did
not let him exceed me in courtesies. I men
tion these things because there has been con
stant trouble here about forms and receptions.
■ Directly after the interview, I learned
through Gen. Urquiza that my speech and
manner had n wonderful effect in softening
down the President, aud that he was so char
med with tho whole proceedings that every
thing would be for me open to a free and frank
intercourse. Upon this hypothesis, it was ar
ranged that I should proceed alone in my ne
gotiations, but that I would let no hitch con
clude them without giving him (the General)
an opportunity to reconcile such differences.
My interviews then with the President com
menced daily, and sometimes twice a day, and
were always cordial, frank, free and harmoni
zing. We became better friends nt every
meeting, but could not agree upon all points
Finally, it was proposed that our next meet
ing should beheld iu presence of Gen. Urquiza,
Gen. Guido, his Minister, and Senor Amaral.
I promptly accepted. When we met no one
but Gen. Urquiza and his private secretary
were present. We commenced the discussion
of the poiuts of difference one by one, and, as
wo selected them, tliey were reduced to wri
ting. We then drew up an agreement, which
was signed by the President aud myself. This
was the crowuiug glory of the whole affair;
and in the general joy over it Gen. Urquiza
embraced Prcsideut Lopez.
By the settlement tee make a new treaty,
wit* changes liberalizing it; a contention to
settle the company's claim,; ten thousand dollars
to the family of the sailor killed on the Water
Witch; receire a satisfactory letter of regrets
and apology for this affair and the treatment of
the government agents, irith full permission to
explore the rivers.
This negotiation is looked upon here as an
immense triumph in diplomacy, as only a Jew
months ago Lope: 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 interests is, that he has
done it in a very friendly spirit. When wo
closed our meeting, agreeing upon the points,
he made me a little speech, which my modesty
would not permit me to record. He touched
my sympathies when he spoke of Paraguay
standing alone, and he traduced by foreign
ministers, who created the diificalties, by with
holding from him the respect due to his po
sition ; aud ho cheerfully and warmly gave me
credit for treating him in all our intercourse
with the most delicate respect and esteem, nnd
said lie would pay some portion of the debt
of gratitude he felt to motor it by informing
the helpless thing iuto the coals, and muttered
by way of a consolation, “If mine arc not
thoughts that breathe, they are words that
burn.”
Now, reader, I know you are on tiptoe of
expectation, and I will give you a bona fide
explanation of the above proceeding.
I am exceeding wild; 1 can’t bear to have
propriety aud proper behaviour eternally
preached at me ; yet let me tell you, by way
of consolation, that I am a proper noun; but
alas!” I’m in the nominative case indepen
dent !
Ellen while I ran down to the lake.
I was away out on the pleasant sheet of wa
ter, leisurely paddling shoreward, when Jules
Ellington appeared on the bank. My seaman
ship brought things speedily to a climax; for,
as soon as my light boat rounded into a core
along shore, he caught my hand, led me to a
mossy seat, and told me all his love ; but I
doubted his sincerity, and told him so.
“You are unjust,” he said, when I told him
his fancy was pleased, and not his love awak
ened. I had read him thoroughly.
“We shall see," I said emphatically.
Aud I did see, reader; so also havo you; for
six months after his return to tho city I re
ceived the letter of which I gave you an ex-
_ i tract at the commencement of this sketch.
Well, one day last summer, I ''’it*, brimful Now, to have beeu fashionable, I should
of fun, and I called Jep, aud started for a race i, avt . pi ue( j away, and never have tried to look
in the woods. I could not go along soberlj, j S prnee again. But, unroqiantio thing tliat I
but must needs walk a step or two, and then anl , after the first shock had passed, I don’t
practice a gymnastic leap across a deep pud
dle, which mode of proceeding pleased my dog
greatly. 1 saw vines loaded with flowers;
and, forgetting the command, “Thou shalt
not covet, &c.” I straightway leaped up after
the blossoms, and—generally fell neadlong to
me. As there liad been a fine storm the night
before, the reader may well imagine that my
bright pink lawn suffered somewhat iu these
frequent contacts with the soft green turf.
Well, after a while, I saw one particularly
beautiful vino—the blue-eyed cliff trailers—
that I did much wish to possess, anil forthwith
commenced climbing a steep rock, whilo my
dog, during the ascent barked gaily at my
heels. At last, after much sliding, and nu
merous proofs of attachment between my dress
and tho thorn bushes, I found myself on the
summit. I sat down to rest, for my ascent
had been toilsome, and in a degree dangerous
for many times I came
thereby endangering the
head.

“Now, Jeppy,” I enid, (for 1 talked to him |
as if he could understand tne,) "you sit still |
whilo I leap through space, and secure that
gloriously beautiful vine.”
“Bow. wo-o-w?’’ Jep replied, cautioning
me, doubtless.
Away I went, and luckily, or unluckily, I
caught the vine firmly in my hands ; but we—
the viuc ami I—were alike obstinate; that
would not quit its hold, nor I either; so I spoke
thus to my dog.
