A very trhing circumstance prevented
the ratification Of treaty between this
government and Paraguay. A treaty was
drawn in the latter country and sent to
Washington for approval. When it came
before the Senate, that body changed the
term "United States Of North America"
used throughout it, to the "Unlted States
of America" and with this and few other
amendments it was sen. back by Mr. Fitz.
patrick to Paraguay. The President Of
Paraguay looks upon the alteration as an
insul, to the other republics Of America,
and though Mr.. Fitzpatrick explained that
the term United States OF America was that
by which our nation was known and &C.
knowledged in all documents with other
nations, the modern Francia continues
obdurote, and the treaty is likely to remain
unconirmed.

The R0uteto the Pacifc.-The press

The Routeto the Pacifc.-The press Of
New Orleans is sndeavoring to arouse the
city to the advantages that it possesses in
having the shortest passage to the Pacific,
by way Of the Tehuantepcc route. Hith,
crto, a person travelling from the Missis,
sippi valley to San Francisco had to 60 to
New York and then travel by the Panama
route 6,2ls miles, when itisjust as posi-,
Bile, with sufficient enterprise on the part
OF the citizens Of New Orleans, to make
that city the starting point for all the south
ern section Of the Union, and the great
point or distribution Of the Pacific COM
merce. The following is a comparison oil
distances between New Orleans and San
Francisco on the shortest route: 10 the
mouth Of the Contzacoaloos 720 miles
the transit is 236 miles, from Ventosa &c
San Francisco, 1904; total from Ne"
Orleans to San Francisco, $3.50 miles
The distancefrom New York, by the short
est route, Tehuantepec, is 1915 miles
by Panama, il is 6,2lS miles. New Or
leans, therefore, by establishing line .
steamers from that port, sufficient to &C
commodate the wants of travel and trade
and regular in their trips, would become
formidable rival to New York in the IA
cifc trade.

cx. Governor Aiken, Of $, c., offering
resolution rendering vote Of thanks
to Mr.. Speaker Banks for the ability
and impartali,y with which he dis
charged the duties Of Speaker. 1t
was highly complimentary to Mr.
Banks to receive such tribute from
South Carolina, from whence he would
not have received it if he had not de-
served it, and not less complimentary
to Gov. Eakin, and through him to s..
G. for the spirit Of liberality and JUS
tice manifested. 1t is ominous Of good,
and highly complimentary to both par
ties. We hope the same resolutions
may continue. The resolutions pass
ed almost unanimously--7 to l.
n7 Again we take pleasure in con-
graduating the agricultural communi-
tv on the fattcring promises of this
sunny and serene morning. A week
ago, and there was a general outburst-
ing Of nowcrs--unquestionable signs of
an abundant supply of fruit; the nri-
al choir had commenced their concerts
for the spring season, while the indus
trious planters were depositing their
seeds in the soil, and going on their
pleasant march rejoicing; the little
froggies too, had got nearly under full
blast with their music, from the deep
toned sonorous sounds Of the old we'll
skilled bull-frog, with yellow pants
and gray coored short coat, to the lit
tie frogress who played the TRIBE to q
nicely. But few blasts of old win
tcr's breath that had been kept behind,
came over the land with sort of ven
geance, Frustrated the hope of fruit,
and with its northern proclivities,
hushed into silence the sweet music
of birds, gave the frogies little chrys-
tai jewelry for examination, and
doubtless interfered some with the plans
and calculations ofthe farmer. But the
prospect is again inviting, the day is
surprisingly beautiful and animatlng'
after a few days of gloom and chilling
winds. Success to you, gentlemen, yc
cultiyators Of the great garden OF the
earth. May every thing conspire to
aid You in the nobility Of labor. and in
bringing out of the earth her rich and
eyhaustless treasure.
