FROM WARRINGTON,

WASHINGTON, Jan. %. although coupons
cannot be issued for less than six months inte-
rest on the new loan. yet should the successful
bi ,ders regard it Of any advantage to receive
coupons Of interest from the lst inst, with the
certificates of stock, they will be so issued at
the Treasury Department on the payment Of
interest from the LIST of January to the date OF
the deposit Of the principal.
The action Of the House to-day, in laying
on the table three several memorials asking
for the establishment Of as many new mail
stea. ner lines. is considered indicative of hos
tility to all such measures by that body.
The Secretary Of the Treasury in q recent
document sent to the House. suggests an invi-
tation from the United States to the commercial
countries Of Europe, to meet in a representative
body for consultation on a uniform currency,
uniform weightsand measures, and a uniforms ys-
tenn Of commercial statistics, being Of the opin.
ion that this reform would be favorably receiv-
ed and probably adopted by each of the coun-
tries so represented. He says our own govern
ment occupies a position, both political and
commercial, which would justify it in taking
the lead in the matter.

rhs uni,ea safes end Paraguay.

A portion Of the United States squadron
forming the Paraguay expedition were at Mon
tevidco on the 30lh Of November. II was ex-
pectcd they would sail in a few weeks for the
Parana river. The dates from Paraguay arc to
the 10Th of November. 1t is stated that the
ParaguanS were preparing to receive the United
States forces. but the prevailing belief was that
the difficulty would be settled without recourse
to war. 1t was reported that our Government
and Bucnos Ayrcs were about to enter into an
alliance, whereby the latter would grant to the
United States the right of free transit for our
troops through her territory, and promised
whatever assistance may be necessary for the
conquest Of Paraguay. In order to countcract
the effect of this project, an alliance of all the
South American governments against the Uni
ted States is recommended.

COL. H. L. HOPKINS OF PETERSBURG.
70 the Editors or the Enquirer:

POwuATAS, Jan. "a.
Having read with pleasure an article in your
paper of the 2lst instant, recommending Col.
ii. i. Hopkins, of Petersburg to the favorable
consideration of the people Of this District. as a
candidate for Congress, we most cheerfully en-
dorse its sentiments, and confidently submit
tina, there is no other person within the bounds
Of our District who is moro worthy of our sup
port and sulfrageS; nor is there one who has
fought more v%aliantly for the maintenance Of
those Democratic principles which arc the
safcty-vaIvcs to the ship Of State, and the
adoption Of which will be the hope not only of
the present but Of future generations. Being
familiar with the political history of the coun-
try, and having served his native State in sevc-
raj of its most important offices with an ability
which would have reflected credit and honor
upon his seniors, we feel assured that his
friends in Petersburg, as well as in this and
other counties Of the District, will show their
appreciation Of his private worth and public
services, by rallying to his support, and urging
his claims in the Convention, should ono be
cillcd; and If not, w earnestly and sincerely
hope the Colonel will announce himself a cam
didatc, and give his friends an opportunity of
showing their gratitude to him for the noble
disintcrestcdness which he has always mani
tested in spending his money, time and talents
on behalf Of the Democratic cause.

l think ofthe hopes that arc gone, Robin,
And | mourn not their stay was so teet' :,
For they fell as tho leaves Of the red rose iai (,
And were even in falling, sweet
Dc you think Of the friends that are gone, jean
ME.
As We sit by your fire at night?
Do you wish they were round you ass:r once
By tho hearth that they made so bright?
I think of the friends that are gone, Robin,
They arc dear TO my heart as then;
But the best and the dearest among them all
have never wished back again.
