The NORTH AND SoUTH.-We have received
the first lumber of a neat.loOking weekly sheet
with this title. 1t halls from New Britain,
Connecticut, and is owned and edited by the
well-known Elihu Burritt. New Britain is his
residence and native place. This new journal
will be the advocate of Mr.. Burritt's scheme of
compromising the Shareholders of the South for
their slave property, and thus Kidding the coun-
try of the peculiar institution. Mr.. Burritt will
aim to make the paper what his former jour-
nal-the Christian Citizen-was, and we wish
him all success in his new enterprise.

PARAGUAY.-The Springfield Republican
states in few words the causes for the dis
pute with Paraguay about which the Senate
had some discussion
"There are three principal causes of com,
plant against Paraguay. In 1855, our exPlo
ring steamer, the Water Witch, commanded BY
Capt Page, was ascending the Paraguay river,
when it was fred into from fort BY order of
President Lopez, and one of her men killed.
The further prosecution Of the expedition was
thus prevented. Afterward, Consul Hopkins
son of Bishop Hopkins, of vernont--wAs in
suited and finally sent home BY Lopez. Several
others of our citizens were driven out of the
country. their business broken up, and their
property destroyed. The Government of Para.
euay has also behaved in an unreasonable and
Insulting manner in reference to treaty
negotiated with our Government. After once
acceding to the treaty, she now declines to

p6r The enemies of Cot. Forney and his
Press, despairing of success, in opposing his
course on Lecompton by legitimate arguments,
now try to injure him by charging that DR..
Elder edits the Press. If DR.. Elder is one of
the corps of writers engaged by the Press, he
probably writes only what Col. Forney chooses
to adopt Col. Forney owns the Press, and pub
fishes only what he likes, as matter of course.
The chief editor of the London Times never
writes line, but gathers editorial matter from
all parts of the Kingdom for his journal. Let
the chagrined opponents Of the Press answer
its arguments, and be not quite 80 deeply anx.
ious about the authorship of it's editorials, and
they viii excite more admiration than they pos
sibly can in their present attitude.
