From MoNTEvIDEo "A correspondent ofthe Bos-
ton Courier, writing from Montevideo July 4th,
says:
'The U. S. chip jamestown has just arrived
from Rio Janero, with our minister at the Court of
Brazil, Mr.. Schenck, on board. Mr.. Schenck has
come here to arrange a treaty with the Argentines
for the free navigation of the rivers. The commits
sioners of England and France, sent out for the
came object have not yet arrived So by the prompt
action of our Government, and great good fortune,
our own minister will be the first the ground.
The appointment too, ia excellent one, and as
presume he will act in concert with our charge at
Buenos Ayres, Mr.. Pen deton, who is in high favor
with Urquiza, the best results for American
interests may be expected. presume the James
town will sail Immediately to convey Mr.. Schenck
up the river to his destination
A WIG RATIFIcATIoN MEETING and barbecue
took place at Alexandria, Rapides parish, Louisi-
ana, on the 10th ultimo, which appears to have
been fine, enthusiastic affair. The Republican says
the town was filled with people from all parts Of the
parish, who gathered to ratify the nomination Of
the gallant Scott for the Presidency. Colonel
Thomas J. Wells was president of the meeting,
and 0. N. Ogden, ESQ.,, was the principal speaker
Appropriate resolutions adopted; and after
hearing good sound Wing speeches, and partak-
ing of the good things provided, the large assem-
blage dispersed, well pleased with the proceedings
of the day, which were marked by the utmost har-
mony, and such display of the true, undaunted
Wing spirit, affords earnest of good fight
in Rapides in November for the ascendency OF
Wing principles.
