THE PARAGUAY EXPEDITION.

tpnesIondtnce OF Inc N l. luuuNt.
BUENos AyREs, Oct. -, 1854.
This is the frat opportunity have had to write
you since the departure Of the Expedition to the
Paraguay. You and your readers have already
been made familiar with the disasters that at
tended the first attempt to reach the Paraguay,
In Q steamer which was thought to be adapted to
navigate this river; Of her i'll luck on the passage
to the tropics, aud her final loss, and the return
Of part of her officers and crew. The fatality
which overlook it at first has seemed 10 clesye 10
the undertaking, aud has thus far intcrp0sed Sc
rious obstacles TO success. Our second expedition
set sail from Newport on the 29th of June, with
two steamboats,. in skeleton, and machinery COM
plete; saw.mills cotton gins &c, and mechanics
TO put the whole in operation, all of which was
destined for Asuncion, on the Paraguay. We had
a very pleasant passage out, though a long one,
being sixty DAYS 10 MonteyideO: here We only
stopped one DAY, when, having obtained pilot,
We came TO this port, On consultation with all
the experienced pilots st Buenos Ayres, we found
il would be impracticsble TO sttempt 10 ascend
the River Paraguay at this time of year. On the
9Th of Sept the schooner (which carried the steam
bosts) left for the River Tegnay, 20 miles north
west of this place where she arrived the same day,
that beng The best ana nearest place TO set up the
boats. Unfortunately when within three hun
dred feet OF our berth the vessel grounded and the
tide falling al the time, all efforts TO get her Oh
were Intellectual; the tides here ale wholly gov
erned by the WIND, ana IN the course of the night
We had q very low tiee. The vessel heeled to
port and AZ 5 clock in the morning We fond she
had q serious leak, which all eaorts with the
rump eoC!d ae. ice, as they were soon ps,less.

The peaceable manner in which the election
Of Monday last was conducted is considered
somewhat surprising, under the circumstances
by those who judge of affairs as they appear
upon the surface, and who do not pause to look
at what is going on beneath. The Mayors pro-
clamations were of q character to excite appre-
tensions among the nervous; and while we are
not at all disposed to question the rectitude of
his honor's motives, we incline strongly to the
on;nion that the s.raw head and bloody bones
copiured up by his fulminations kept about one
thousand natives from voting the American
ticket, as they would have done had they been
convinced that the day would pass Of quietly.
There are in all large cities hundreds of quiet,
retiring citizens brave Us lions should the
occasion demand the exercise Of that quality
who do not care, aid will not go to the polls
when there is any prospect of being bullied and
jostled BY blackguards. While they care nothing
for the risk, they are not disposed to undergo
the physical inconvenience Here is, we con-
east on Monday was small, and why the Amer
lean majority is small. A few more resolutions
| by the Common Council and few more procla-
nations from the Mayor, and all peaceably dis
posed men of family would have given their
wives and children an extra kiss before repair
ing to the polling stations!
We need say no more to illustrate our idea Of
the unmitigated absurdity Of the apprehensions
Of high officials.
But, to whom is the preservation of peace
almost entirely attributable To the Common
Council No. To the Mayor and his procla-
nations No. To the police force under his
controla No Well, who them Why, to tine
proprietors Of the coffee houses, who, in their
respective Associations, determined to close
their establishments, not only on the day, but
the night Of the election These are the men
entitled to the credit; and, notwithstanding
they lost largely BY the operation, they have
the satisfaction Of knowing that their conduct
is appreciated by every intelligent and honest
man cognizant of the circumstances.
We believe in awarding credit where credit is
due, as edo in this case fully and unreseryedly.

few days since published remarks relating to
the liabilities of Express Companies The following on
the subject take from the New York Journal of
Commerce. How far it is consistent with public safety to
transmit public money, or any money without some tan
gible responsibility, the following shows:
The first article stated facts Of which we were MT
perfectly oognizsnt and failed us in regard to
the precise Of responsibility which the Express
Companies intend assume In their printed rersints
assume any responsibility for loss damage arising
the dangers Of Railroad Steam Ocean Navigator
Leakage, Fire or from any cause whatever unless the
be to have occurred from the fraud gross
negligence of themselves their agents servantsn We
had supposed that the contract with the Treasury De-
parment under which the gold that was lost was for
warded would not admit OF any construction similar To
the clause above noted. We had supposed and now he
Ieve that under that contract Express Company liable
as insurers for the delivery of the money We beevs
that when the contract under which this gold was trans
mitted executed such responsibility was fully in
tended The Secretary Of the Treasury Assistant
are careful prudent officers and they no doubt under
ing at New York the Express Company uudertook
the entire responsibility OF making the right at both
places and Of its safe delivery At any rate
the Agents of the Express Company the time Of the
loss have acted as If this the understanding we
have been when they have received back
felt pieces not accepted by the office here and IN
deficiency In count taking certificate of the same and
locking to the Dubuque office for the refundng Of he
money.
1t would be extremely desirable to have the question
of responsibility settled BY legal decision or the frank
admission of the several oompaniss.n |l
