The Paraguay --InStTUctiOns
81 ~, IN IayeItjs
WAsH1xGToE, August "a
The exposition contained in the Union of this
morning of the intentions of the executive in regard
10 the Paraguay expedition is doubtless authentic
1t is satisfactory to know from such authority that
the naval force 81 length provided for the service
will be5 adequate in the reduction Of the forts
above the Trees BOGUS, and near the capital, As
sumption. The instructions TO the United States
commissioners are also referred TO as having been
completed, with view to meet the evasive diploma
cy of Lopez. Our little feet will no doubt give a
good account of itself.
In diplomacy the Spanish Americans excel, and
it will perhaps be the policy Of Lopez to temporze
and weary our ministers and naval commanders
with delays, and force them to refer back to Wash
ington for instructions. Whatever we to do,
whether in war or negotiation, with Paraguay must
be done promptly. failure of the expedition
would prove disastrous to American reputation
throughout South America.
The population and resources of Paraguay are
understated by the authorities ordinarily referred
to- The population is estimated at 100000; where
as according to Mr.. Hopkins, who lately the
U. S, consul at Assumption, it is 650OO0. That
Lopez had II 600 men under arms when threatened
with an attack from his hostile neighbors is well
known. He has also European engineers and tao
ticans in his service. He has had too long a time
for preparation against our expedition, and will
perhaps attempt 10 obstruct the navigation of the
river above the " three mouths " But this again
woudinvolve him in difficulty with England, France
Bueuos Ayres and Brazil.
Another of his lodges will doubt be to seek the
mediation of mutually friendly power, and even
propose an arbitration, the acceptance Of which
is probably forbidden by the instructions to our
minister.
President Lopez is the chief merchant, broker
cigar maker and steamboat owner in his fertile do
minions, and is reputed to be worth more money
than the whole amount in treasury, in
creased as it has been by the len million loan. He
can, therefore, easily pay the amount of indemnity
which is claimed account of sPOliations upon our
people.-BaltimOre San.

The Indian Campaign on the Paeific--s
Prompt Measures for Crushing out the
Expensiveness OF the Utah EyiI--HaVRna
Consulate
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2G-The time first fixed upon
for TIE departure of Gen. Harvey for his winter ms
dian campaign in Washington Territory was about
the 9Th of October but it is now stated that the
President is anxious that he may leave by the
steamer of the 9th September, that of the Goth,
al furthest This looks like fixed determination
TO crush out the savages at once, and thus the
treasury from the immense drains inseparsble from
protracted Indian war. The Secretary Of War
seems to have one excellent view Of the matter
which has been too little regarded by our govern
ment in its hostile operations. That view is, that
"War shall support war" Hence the plan of pros
ecting forces into the valleys when the Indians
take up their quarters and of "seizing upon their
horses, cattle, provisions, &C." Thas such steps
will operate to conquer peace" there can be no
more doubt than that Gen. Harvey is just the man
for the purpose.
1t is a question whether or not the same sort of
treatment of the hierarchy Of Utah might not have
had the effect to procure such of good feel

ST LOUIS, August 27.-The Salt Lake cOrrespon-

son of Surveyor General Burr was in the city, and
had succeeded in getting Charles W. MoOnler, for
merly clerk in the Surveyors Office, 10 file an afhda-
Wit denying the truth of his former affidavit sus'
tanning charges against Gen Barr
The Indians are more hostile now than at any
time since the Territory was first settled. Nearly
all the tribes are committing depredations. Num-
bers of settlers have been killed Several bands
Of horses have been run of Asyetthe troops have
made no effort to protect the settlers. The soldiers
received their pay the latter part Of July, after
which large numbers Of them deserted, taking with
them some mules and citizens clothing from the
camp. Cedar Valley is said to be poor place for
winter quarters.
Gen. johnson is making preparations TO send
some Of his animals to the other valleys.
Gov. Cummins still retains the confidence Of tho
community, and thus far his acts and policy give
general satisfaction.
